As Annie browsed through the options, she suddenly stopped, her gaze fixed on a particular dress. Her eyes lit up as she took it off the rack and held it against her body.

“I love this one! It’s gorgeous!” she exclaimed excitedly.

While she stepped into one of the fitting rooms, Lorraine stormed out of another, looking frustrated. She was wearing a dress but had to hold the side zipper and front in place to keep it from slipping. I couldn’t help but chuckle—a quiet laugh, but loud enough for her to hear.

“What’s so funny?” she snapped, her eyes blazing with anger.

“I didn’t say anything…” I turned my back on her, pretending I had nothing to do with it as I waited for Annie to come out. Lorraine marched over to the saleswoman, and even though she spoke in hushed tones, my sharp ears caught their conversation.

“Is there any way to alter it?” Lorraine asked, her voice laced with desperation.

“Impossible! If it just needed to be taken in, that’d be one thing, but letting it out…”

    I got back to the car feeling lighter, with a warm feeling inside. Damian had fallen asleep in the seat, totally relaxed. I decided not to wake him—he deserved that. I sat there, watching the horizon, lost in my thoughts, until the sky began to lighten.“Damian.” I placed my hand on his shoulder and gave him a gentle shake. “Come on, let’s watch the sunrise together.”“Uhn…” he mumbled, stirring. When he opened his eyes and realized what I was asking, he perked up.“I know a better spot for that,” he said, starting the car. “Have you been back long?”“Not really. I didn’t want to wake you,” I replied.We were finishing the drive up the hill. He stopped the car at a scenic overlook, facing the sunrise. We didn’t even need to get out to admire the breathtaking view of a new day beginning. We sat there in silence for a while, just watching.“Don’t fall asleep,” I said to him. His eyes were blinking slowly, clearly fighting it.“Lisa, I can’t just sit here doing nothing without getting sl

    As soon as we stepped into the office, Damian closed the door and pulled me over to an armchair, making me sit next to him. Both of his hands were wrapped around mine, gently caressing them as he looked into my eyes with concern.“Eliza, ask for a transfer. I promise I won’t force you to stay with me if you don’t want to. But after what happened, I can’t let you keep living there.”“Damian, if you keep worrying about me like this, I might end up falling for you,” I joked. This time, he didn’t laugh. His face stayed serious.“Eliza, the fact that you survived everything you went through… that was a miracle. And miracles don’t tend to repeat themselves. I don’t know a single wolf in all of history who could’ve taken on three witches in one fight, especially with a psychic involved. How did you resist her attack?”“I didn’t fight all of them at the same time. I managed to take down the fire witch before the psychic showed up. And even then, I didn’t resist the psychic attack—I would’ve d

    I walked alongside my mom to the dining room. She was explaining a whole bunch of house rules about etiquette and proper behavior. This “prison” they called home ran on a tight system. Knowing myself, I wouldn’t last more than a month here. I’d always loved living free and making my own rules.One by one, I greeted all the relatives already seated at the table. There was no warmth, no emotion from the older ones—neither in their faces nor in their voices. I guess the harsh Singer training had drained the soul out of them.When I got to my dad, he gently stroked my cheek. That was about as affectionate as he ever got with me. If he was happy I was here, I couldn’t tell. I’d never seen him smile in my entire life.I sat down at the table with a serious expression. Only the little cousins still had some life in their eyes. I felt suffocated in that environment, but there was nowhere to run.The only time I managed to smile again was when Damian arrived. He shattered the frozen atmosphere

    When I opened my eyes again, the room was dark. I was lying in a comfortable bed, wrapped in a soft, warm blanket. My right arm was in a sling, and the other had an IV hooked up to it.“Don’t move!” a woman’s voice said the moment she noticed I was awake.“Mom, where am I?” I asked. My throat was dry, and my voice came out raspy. My head was pounding, and my breathing felt heavy. Even speaking hurt.“You’re home, sweetheart. Your dad brought you back right after he rescued you,” she said gently. Tears welled up again. I was safe—I was with my mom. No matter how distant or busy she’d been, one thing she’d never failed at was taking care of me when I was sick.“How long was I out?” I coughed lightly. She grabbed a glass of water and helped me drink.“Three days. Since we didn’t know how bad your injuries really were, your father thought it was best to keep you sedated until we got all the tests done. Luckily, your wounds weren’t as serious as they looked.”“Should I even be here in Arch

    I started softly singing through my tears, trying to calm myself down. It felt like I was trapped in a nightmare. When was this all going to end? My heart hurt more than the injuries on my body.You’re not alone! Lisa told me. I went silent immediately. My heart was racing.“You found me again?” I looked down at the water and couldn’t help but smile as I wiped my tears away. He was always there when I needed him the most. “So you’re really not tied to one place. Good to know!”I let out a soft laugh as I tried to steady my breathing. Just having him there made me feel better.“They sent me to Soriar to help, but the team I was with left me behind. They said I was attracting too many monsters.”I fell quiet for a moment. I desperately wanted to hear the Mysterious Lord’s voice again. Nothing. Not even a whisper...“I thought I was strong, but I’m at my limit. I don’t know if I can keep going alone—if I should head back or just wait here and hope more wolves show up so I can join them.

    I was the last one to get on the bus. All the seats in the back were already taken, so I had no choice but to sit in the front row. The officer in charge came by to check our names and hand out energy supplements. I ate mine without much enthusiasm, then leaned my head back and closed my eyes.I hadn’t slept well in days. Any break—even just a few hours—I had to make the most of. When I woke up again, the bus was driving past an unfamiliar village. I knew it was nighttime because it was dark out, but I had no clue what time it was.I glanced out the window and saw the driver following a military vehicle. The symbol on it was different from Siram’s—proof we were already in Soriar. After passing through the village, the bus turned onto a dirt road and followed it for about fifteen minutes before stopping.We got off the bus in order. My eyes scanned the makeshift barricade built in the open field—probably one of the last lines of defense before the monsters could reach the village.I st
