I’ve tried what I could to open that door but each time I get close, I'm sent flying back. Catching mud and bruises. I tried throwing stones and broken tree trunks yet all of it was thrown back.

Nothing works.

The tomb won’t open and the witch won't bother stepping out to see what's going outside or she is simply enjoying.

I circle it for what feels like the hundredth time, dirt streaked across my face, sweat clinging to my back.

I dig my fingers into the soil, breathing hard, mind racing. The face of Sofia flashes in the forefront of my mind and my patience shatters.

“Come out!” I roar, voice cutting through the fog. “I know you’re in there!”

Silence.

“I’m not leaving without you!” I grow.

The trees don’t rustle. Nothing moves. Not even the wind answers me.

Just that thick, stifling stillness that always surrounds places like this. Places that reek of forgotten power and old blood. It's like I'm slamming my head against a wall.

I step up to the door again, fists clenched, staring at

    Carlos frowns, “Are you scared?” He asks as though he can read my mind.“I don't want to hurt you. Who knows what happens when I step in the moonlight? Trying to mark you will only push Inez out more and I don't want to risk it” I reason.“But you need to get rid of that mark under the moonlight or as the days pass, this unwanted mark's side effects will start taking over and I don't want to lose you to insanity” He says.“Sofia, you won't hurt me. You never had” he insists, “I don't want to pressure you into this if you don't want this” he sighs. I feel utterly bad for turning him down.It's not that I don't want to be marked” I say.“I know,” he says, tucking the hair behind my ear.“Would it be okay if I let you mark me now and when the curse is over, I will mark you?” I ask.“That” he lights up, “Can work”I smile, “Okay then”“Sure?” He asks and I nod, “Maybe you should hurry before I change my mind”He grins, sliding his arms under me and lifts me off the bed.“Oh Carlos!” I ga

    Sofia:The wolfsbane stings like fire. I can feel it way too deep like my skin is on fire, seeping the burn through my bones and it's the worst kind of pain I've felt after almost dying with silver. No wonder Carlos was so against the use of wolfsbane.I bite my lips, trying not to wince as the silence in my room just stretches further, swirling my head with nothing but a deeper level of concern.What if Carlos is unable to change that witch's mind? What if there's actually no cure? What if my fate is to suffer for good?To think of it, I have never truly been the happiest other than these few days with Carlos spent in pure bliss. I don't want to lose that.Mom comes with a meal, telling me to keep hope but all I can do is stare at the heavy wooden door and wait.Just like that, time slips and I stare outside the window with a heavy heart until the faint noise makes me avert my eyes back to the door.I hear the sound of bootsteps, quick and heavy coming down the hall.Please be Carlos

    CARLOS: How many of my family's betrayal until I lose trust in everything and everyone? Derek had assured me everything will be managed yet when I'm here with Sofia, his words turned out to be lies. “Carlos” He starts calmly yet the tone of demand in his voice tells me everything I need to know. “You're not talking as my brother but the Alpha and I already know how it'll end so spare me the time and fight me if you must” I challenge, boiling from anger. “I'm talking as both” He says, “No one will hurt Sofia. But I can't ignore that her wolf is a threat. We don't know when she'll lose control and start attacking” “She will not hurt anyone. I take the guarantee” I retort. Derek arches a brow, staring at me like I have grown two heads. “Brother, I want you to think with your brain. The fear of losing her is clearly overpowering every shred of logic in you” He says. “Derek” I hiss but I can't quite disagree with what he is saying. “Sofia needs to be watched twenty four seven” “I'

    SOFIAThe travel back to the human city was long. I keep a cap on to stay discreet. Once we are at the address, my nerves spikes up with unease.I walk closely beside Carlos, holding hands as he leads the way. My parents are trailing behind us, talking to each other in hushed voice. The street reeks of trash and cigarettes making me scrunch up my nose.We stop in front of a small four stories brown building. A rusted entrance with a broken furniture is kept aside, covered in dust and litter.“Is this really where she lives?” I ask.“Yes. An ideal place to remain unknown” Carlos says, leading us inside and curling a corridor to step stairs that leads to the basement apartment.We stop across a door and Carlos knocks.Mom mutters something behind about darkness and the smell.The door opens with a soft creak, revealing a young woman, maybe my age. She is pregnant, resting her hand on the swell of her stomach in a protective manner.“Yes?” she asks, tone cautious, eyes flicking between t

    CARLOS:I stare at Sofia's face, features masking with hope yet the slightest bit of fear as well. I cup her face and caress her cheek.“You won't hurt me. I know it” I say but she moves my hand away from her face.“Please don't tell me you think my romantic feelings will stop Inez from attacking you?” She asks, horrified.“That's not going to work, Carlos. Inez has killed many, hurt many. She hurt Anthony despite my feelings for him. What makes you think she will not hurt you?” She snaps, furious now.“Your feelings for Anthony weren't strong enough” I state.“Oh please, we need to think practically” she mutters, crossing her arms and leaning against the tub, away from me.“Listen to me” I demand, “I'm not saying that's what I'm relying on. I will find a way and tell me one thing, have you ever attacked anyone from your family?” I ask.She looks down, “I don't think so but even if I had, I'm sure they won't say it”“Did they at least tell you why your wolf is the way she is?” I ask.
