Evelyn was surprised and confused. In a space of a few minutes, she had witnessed the most shocking event of her entire life, and now she was about to be killed by a cop.

"I didn't see a thing, please," she begged.

"I am so sorry" he pulled the trigger.

Before the detective shot the gun, Rebecca had pushed open the door, allowing him to miss his target.

"What the hell are you doing, Luke, she's my best friend!" Rebecca shouted at him.

"She saw everything, Becca," he told her.

"Are you sure?"

"Absolutely. You know we can't let her leave here alive."

Rebecca looked at her friend. "Evelyn, is it true" she asked softly.

"I didn't see anything. I swear", Evelyn told her.

"Okay, what are you doing here?"

She said shakily "Rebecca, your dad called. He said he wanted to speak with you and that it was urgent, and so I came to give you your phone."

"...and you didn't see anything?" Rebecca asked.

"Of course she did, Becca. Let me waste her here and now!" The detective shouted as he pointed his gun at Evelyn again.

Rebecca stood between them. "Shut the hell up, Luke. Even if she did see something, I wouldn't ever allow you to hurt her. If you want to kill her, then you would have to go through me."

"Well, if that is how you want it, then..."

Father Leon came out of the morgue and asked the detective" What in God's name is happening here?"

Luke told the priest. " Becca's friend saw everything."

Father Leon looked at Evelyn and saw the fear in her eyes. He told Luke to drop his gun, but the detective protested that he did not trust Evelyn to keep what she had seen a secret.

"She's a member of the Wolf's family now, have you forgotten?" Rebecca told Luke. "If you kill her be sure that they will come for you with everything they've got and there's no way you and your entire family will survive their wrath."

Detective Luke paused for a minute before holstering his gun. "Okay. But if she tells anyone, I'll hold you responsible."

"She won't, I promise" Rebecca reassured

"Okay, let us go, Luke," Father Leon said as he went outside.

Detective Luke glared at Evelyn with a murderous intent. " I will be watching you", he said, just before he left.

Evelyn was devastated, it took a while for her to get herself together." What the hell had just happened?" She thought.

"I am so sorry. I don't know what is wrong with Luke. He is just crazy sometimes", Rebecca told her friend.

"So are you now on a first-name basis with the detective?" Evelyn asked her friend.

"I... The thing is, he's my boyfriend."

"What... Are you kidding me? Why is everyone keeping secrets from me?"

"I am truly sorry. I just didn't want you to be caught up in all this", Rebecca said.

"Apologizing more than once does not always solve problems, Rebecca" Evelyn told her. "I saw you and the priest killing those victims after they miraculously came alive. What was that about?"

"They were not entirely dead before. I saw bite marks on the victims. That was why I called Father Leon and my boyfriend..."

Evelyn interrupted "What do you mean bite marks?"

"...I mean they were no longer humans. They had been turned into monsters".

"Now you are confusing me here. What do you mean they were no longer humans?"

"They died with cursed blood in their system, and so they became cursed beings. Father Leon and I had to put them down before they killed or, worse, turned others", Rebecca told her." These cursed beings are Vampires."

"Vampires? How is that possible? Those things are not real, they are just made-up stories to scare people."

"Well, they are truly real. Come let me show you " Rebecca took her friend inside the morgue.

"Here, take a closer look at their teeth," she told her friend to check.

Evelyn looked at their bodies up close and noticed how their bodies looked desiccated as if they had been dead for several years and not a few hours. She opened their mouths one after the other and noticed the dead victims had fangs.

"My God, I still can't believe this," she said in amazement. "What did Father Leon sprinkle on them?"

"Oh, that was vervain. It weakens them."

"...but they were both declared dead in the OR before being brought to the morgue," Evelyn said

Rebecca held her shoulder to comfort her, but Evelyn pulled away from her.

"Don't you dare touch me? You've been lying to me our entire lives"

"I could not tell you because I wanted to protect you", Rebecca told her.

"Protect me!?" Evelyn yelled at her. "How is being oblivious to the fact that monsters are living among us protecting me?"

"You don't understand. All my life I have lived in constant fear of creatures lurking in the dark. Although we were both told about the stories of all these monsters as children, it wasn't just a story to me. It was a reality. I just didn't want you to live your life in constant fear," Rebecca said.

"I don't know what to say," Evelyn told her. " I still can't wrap my head around the fact that these creatures are real."

"I can understand, " Rebecca said

Evelyn took out her phone to take pictures of the desiccated bodies but was stopped by her friend.

Rebecca took the phone from Evelyn. " You should not be taking pictures. This is a secret meant to be kept hidden from humans and taking pictures is not safe". She gave Evelyn back her phone.

" Are vampires the only creatures hidden from humans?" She asked Rebecca after putting back her phone into her bag.

"No Evelyn"

"Then what else?"

"I can't say. I am sorry"

Evelyn sighed "Why can't you say? Tell me, Rebecca!" She yelled.

"I really shouldn't be telling you anything until after the ritual". Rebecca slipped

"What do you mean after the ritual?"

"You need to ask Michael about it. It's not in my place to go into details, but just ask him". Rebecca told her "I need to get going. It seems like my father wants to see me urgently."

"Is Michael aware?"

Rebecca paused for a while before answering. "I can't say."

Evelyn left her friend angrily in the morgue, took the elevator to her office to change, and headed out of the hospital since her shift was already over. She walked out of the hospital to find that it was dark already. She checked her watch and saw that the time was 5 pm.

Evelyn walked to the hospital's parking lot hoping to see Michael parked there, but he wasn't around. A few minutes later, she saw him drive into the hospital compound and waited for the car to get to her side.

"Hi love, how was work today?" Michael asked as he pulled over to where she was standing.

Evelyn snubbed him and entered the backseat of the car.

Michael was beginning to worry a little about the awkward silence in the car. He looked at the rearview mirror several times to try and catch her gaze, but she just stared out the window throughout the drive to the hotel.

Immediately they arrived at the hotel, Evelyn went up to their suite without saying a word, leaving Michael to wonder if she was still angry at him for not telling her about his secrets.

"Evelyn, we need to talk", Michael told her as he sat next to her on the bed.

"About what?" She asked.

"Well, about what we spoke about earlier today."

"I am listening"

Michael sighed and took out a drink from the top drawer next to the bed. "Where do I begin?" He asked himself as he poured a drink for himself and Evelyn.

"I am not who you think I am" he continued as he sipped the drink.

"Are you human? She asked frighteningly.

"I ..." He hesitated.

"Are you a vampire?" Evelyn interrupted.

"No, of course not" he looked at Evelyn to see if she was joking, but saw that she wasn't. " How do you know about vampires?"

"It's a long story. Just answer my question. Who are you truly?"

"I know this might be hard to take in, but I want to let you know that I would never do anything to hurt you," he told Evelyn as he held her hands.

She stood up from the bed and moved away from him a little towards the door. " What are you, Michael!?" She shouted.

"I am a werewolf" he answered.

    A heavy silence fell over the group as Michael's words sunk in.Jocelyn's hand flew to her mouth, her eyes widening in disbelief. "No...oh god, no..."Evelyn felt her stomach drop.

She asked her husband.Michael dragged a shaky hand down his face, grief and weariness etched in the lines around his eyes. "My father didn't give me any details over the phone. Just said to get home right away.""Okay," Evelyn answered softly. She noticed Jocelyn was already crying, her shoulders were shaking with muffled sobs. She went to her, pulling her close in a tight embrace."We should go," Evelyn said, keeping her voice as steady as she could manage. "Your father wants us all together."Michael could only nod, seeming dazed by the tragic news. He turned and started walking without another word, his footsteps heavy.Evelyn kept an arm around Jocelyn, gently guid

    Evelyn felt a shiver run down her spine at Elliot's ominous words. She tightened her protective stance next to Rebecca's bedside. "What do you mean a serious situation?" Michael asked, his voice thick with a werewolf's growl.Elliot's cold gaze swept over them all, assessing. "First, my brother is here in this hospital due to your poor judgment. The right thing you should have done from the outset was to bring him to our family home.""We saved your brother's life, and this is the thanks we get - blame. Not even an appreciation for saving his life. I can't say that I'm surprised, you vampires are an arrogant bunch," Michael said, fury rising. Elliot moved closer to Michael, his eyes flashing dangerously. "Watch your tone, boy!" His voice thundered through the whole room.After noticing the intense confrontation between her husband and her friend's brother, Evelyn cried out. "Stop this madness, this is a hospital! If you intend to fight, then take it outside."They both paused, slow

    Evelyn's entire body trembled as fear gripped her at the horrific sight. She stood frozen, eyes locked on the scene unfolding before her. The shattered sound of fallen cups mingled with her anguished screams led to the inrush of others into Victor's hospital room."What happened?" Michael's question hung in the air as he halted, shock etched across his face. Irene and Jocelyn crowded in behind, their gasps audible. They stood still in awe, stunned to find Victor had sunken his fangs into Rebecca's neck. He pinned her limp form to the bed, feeding ravenously from the artery above her collarbone.""Hey! Get off her!" Michael surged forward, trying to wrench the frenzied Victor away, but the vampire's inhuman strength overpowered him. Though a werewolf himself, Michael was no match.He struggled futilely until Victor cast him aside with brutal force, sending him crashing through the doorway.Irene and Jocelyn rushed in, determined to help, but Evelyn held them back. "He's too strong.

    Rebecca exchanged a look with Evelyn, both of them struggling to process Victor's jarring transformation. While she was relieved he was alive and relatively unharmed, a part of her mourned the loss of the man she had fallen in love with. The vampire she had accepted and embraced, flaws and all. "I...I don't understand," Victor said weakly, his eyes clouded with bewilderment. "The last thing I remember is being strapped to some chair while some doctors...experimented on me."He shuddered violently at the memory, his grip on Rebecca's hand tightening. Evelyn placed a comforting hand on his shoulder."Try not to think about that now," she said gently. "You're safe, that's what matters."Victor looked from Evelyn to Rebecca, his brow furrowing. "But how? What happened to me? I feel...different. Normal, almost."The two women exchanged another weighted glance. Rebecca took a deep, steadying breath."Don... he did something to you. Changed you, somehow," she began haltingly. "When the para

    As Don was taken away, Evelyn felt a swirl of conflicting emotions. Part of her was relieved that he had been arrested. But another part was worried that he might escape yet again - so she wondered why he was kept alive and not executed on the spot.Surprised by her unusual thoughts of violence, she brushed them from her mind. She was a doctor and wasn't supposed to think like that. A wave of shame washed over her. Evelyn turned to Rebecca. "Are you alright?" She asked once again.Rebecca sighed. "Yes, I'm okay. I'm just confused...""About what?" Evelyn prodded gently. She knew something was amiss, though she still couldn't understand the confrontation between Rebecca and Don over Victor.Rebecca looked at her friend, unsure how to explain her discovery about Victor. "He - he is human.""What? Who is?" Evelyn's brow furrowed in confusion."Victor," Rebecca elaborated, her voice wavering. "He wasn't wearing his ring when they wheeled him outside. I tried to stop them from taking him

    Amid the chaotic raid, Evelyn burst through the doors, frantic. She scanned the lobby desperately, praying Michael wasn't caught in the crossfire between WestHaven's forces and Don's mercenaries. Finally, she spotted him conversing with General Thomas and the police captain. Relieved, she rushed forward. "Michael!" He turned at her voice. Before he could react, Evelyn leaped into his arms, legs wrapped around his waist as she kissed him fervently. Michael was shocked by her presence but quickly lost himself in his wife's passionate embrace. Just minutes ago he had resigned himself to death, wishing to see Evelyn one last time. Now she was here - a miracle.After a moment, they broke apart, foreheads touching. "Evelyn? What are you doing here?" he asked breathlessly."What do you think? I came for you," she said fiercely, dropping back to the floor but clinging to his shirt.Michael glanced around the destroyed lobby, debris littering the floor amidst armed soldiers. "Honey, it's s
