Andrew, George, and Anne emerged from the mansion, gathering around as they saw the box and realized its contents. Andrew's eyes sparkled with enthusiasm as he exclaimed, "Let's give it a try, Blake. It could be our best shot at finding Lily."However, Blake hesitated, understanding the implications. "As much as I'm tempted to, using a drone is not allowed in natural parks," he replied, distancing himself from the group and heading toward his car.Caught in the wake of Blake's abrupt departure, Matt's curiosity got the best of him, prompting him to ask, "Where are you off to?"Sliding into the driver's seat and igniting the engine, Blake's response was concise, "City."

The group exchanged glances, sharing their confusion over Blake's unexpected departure and the secrecy shrouding his actions."Maybe he's considering a visit to his office this time," George speculated, his voice tinged with uncertainty. He sou
“All right, we will do that,” George agreed. The couple decided to leave the room and made their way downstairs, seeking solace in the family lounge.Outside the mansion, the first light of dawn painted the sky with delicate hues. Blake and his group emerged from the backdoor, weariness etched across their faces, overshadowed by an air of melancholy. Blake led the way, his shoulders slumped as he walked towards a plush love seat by the fireplace. He sat down heavily, turning away from prying gazes and closing his eyes in exhaustion. Andrew followed suit, his own fatigue apparent as he joined Blake in the lounge.Addressing Andrew, George, and Anne couldn't contain their worry. "Where is Lily?" they asked almost simultaneously, their voices revealing the depth of their concern.Heavy with regret, Andrew replied, "We deeply apologize. We didn't find Lily there. We believe Jake might have taken her, as we couldn't locate any trace of Jake or his men up there. Blake is devastated; he does
His thoughts were a tumultuous whirlwind, a tempest of worry for Lily's safety that consumed his every thought. With a deep breath, he steeled himself, his power, and the burning need to find Lily, driving him forward. The battle may have been won, but the war was far from over. Blake's journey was far from complete, his power and determination set to overcome every obstacle in his path to ensure Lily's safety and reclaim the future he held dear.Blake's agonized howl sliced through the night, a chilling call that pierced the silence and rallied his pack to his side. As they converged, their bodies contorted and twisted, morphing from sleek wolves into the haunting forms of humans. Blake, already transformed when they arrived, locked eyes with each of them, eager to hear good news.Despite their fervent efforts, Blake's pack scoured the surroundings after their intense clash with Glenn's pack, but Lily remained elusive. Their search spanned far and wide, encompassing every conceivable
In a distant place far removed from Blake's desperate pursuit, Jake chased Lily at high speed. Since Blake and Lily were physically separated, Jake thought this was the perfect opportunity to capture her and get what he wanted from her – her immense power.Running on all four, Jake’s eyes were fixated on Lily’s wolf figure a mile in advance from him. Jake’s heart matched his fast gallops – bare, soft thuds in the quiet night, determined to capture Lily. He moved skillfully, avoiding obstacles and jumping over rocks. The moon's fading light lit up the nighttime scene.Guided by the faint but luminous moon, Jake discerned Lily's swift silhouette darting through the forest with urgency. Intuition and instinct propelled him forward as he narrowed the distance between them. Whispering to himself between breaths, he pleaded, "Lily, make it easier for both of us. We wouldn't be here if only you had returned to us." His determination to catch up with her resonated within each step.Unaware th
Emerging from the cabin, Glenn's face turned a deep shade of crimson, his cheeks burning with intense embarrassment. The realization slammed into him like a sudden thunderclap, leaving him momentarily stunned – the subtle brilliance of Blake's chain-swinging tactic had completely eluded him. Regret gripped his heart as if a merciless vise, its thorns digging deep and leaving an agonizing ache that scrape his pride.After recovering from the pain of Blake's double-flying kicks, Glenn promised he would not feel embarrassed like that again. He turned into a huge wolf and ran after Blake, wanting to catch him and let him pay.Blake, hurried his speed, pressing forward in gallops through the dense foliage. His focus was on his mission to locate Lily. He moved toward the location of the solitary howl. Questions nagged at his mind. Why did she howl? He thought, wondering. Based on what he heard from Liza, Lily had escaped with her mother. How did she drift so far away instead of toward the
“Oh, I felt envious at how much you trusted him when you know him just recently. Lily, I grow up with him. I knew him inside and out. Your naivety will harm you more than I bullied you!"I don’t want to talk about him anymore. Let's talk about our own matters," Jake's voice grew stern and demanding, his tone carried an air of authority, demanding attention.Lily, unyielding in her resolve, responded, "There's nothing left to talk about," she emphasized, drawing a clear line in the sand. "If you choose violence, expect me to fight back," Lily's resolute words echoed with determination.Jake's ominous voice sent a shiver down Lily's spine, his words dripping with malevolence. "Impressive display of bravery. Let's test just how far you've strayed from us," he sneered. In a single fluid motion, he lunged, seizing Lily's right arm in an iron grip, attempting to pull her towards him. Yet, his perception of her strength fell drastically short. Unbeknownst to him, Lily's resilience had been h
