The wolf was before me, no more Lancelot. That wolf, so beautiful and at the same time so voracious, now made me question what I thought of that whole dangerous situation, especially how it would be when I rescued the triplets. His breath was heavy, the fangs almost glowing. For a second, I thought of stepping back, but I remembered: he was still Lancelot. If I abandoned him, he would not differ from the other normal wolves who judged the average wolves.

“Lancelot” my voice came out low, almost a whisper. He growled but did not advance. It was a sound as if he was fighting something inside himself. Knowing Lancelot, he probably was.

My heart was racing, but my legs could not fail. I knew that if I didn’t take him to the transformation chamber, everything could get out of control. I took a deep breath, forcing myself not to give in to fear.

“You need to hear me,” I continued, slowly, each word loaded with supplication. “Trust in me.”

I stepped forward. He followed the movement with his

  • The Price of a Second Chance   95 – Attack II

    The first enemy appeared at the door, huge, golden eyes shining under the dim light of the shed. His growl reverberated on the walls, and I instinctively pulled the children back, gluing them against my body."Stay behind me!" My voice came out trembling, but firm enough for Jimmy and Jared to obey. Jody sobbed softly, burying her face in my waist.Lancelot took a step forward, his whole body vibrating. I knew those signs. The trembling in his shoulders, his clenched teeth, his heavy breathing. He was struggling to hold the wolf, but there was no choice. The corridor was already full of steps. They came in a group.“Lancelot” touched his arm, desperate. "Don’t let them see you lose control."He looked over my shoulder, eyes already starting to glow golden. "If I don’t lose, you won’t come out alive."And then it happened. The sound was unmistakable: bones breaking and rearranging, muscles stretching beyond the limit. The restrained cry of pain turned into a growl, deep and wild.The c

  • The Price of a Second Chance   94 – Attack I

    The car stopped a few meters before the dirt road leading to the shed. The place seemed abandoned, surrounded by twisted trees. There was still no movement in the city. Lancelot turned off the engine and looked around, attentive to every detail. "They are here," he muttered. I swallowed dry and looked out the window. The shed stood like a shadow at the end of the road, too big, too lonely. There was no way to go through it without feeling that something was wrong. "Casper said we’d meet near the entrance," I said, trying to keep my voice steady. Lancelot did not respond immediately. He was just watching the road, the tense muscles. Then he nodded. "Let’s go." We get out of the car and walk in silence, our steps muffled by the damp earth. My heart was beating too loudly, as if it denounced our presence miles away. As we got closer, a shadow stood out among the trees. Casper. He was standing, leaning on a stone, arms crossed, and staring at the shed. His scent reached me before he

  • The Price of a Second Chance   93 – Last Night

    The night did not seem to pass. When I returned home after the meeting with Casper, the weight of the plan was still on me. Lancelot kept silent on the way back, and that only increased the pressure inside my head. I knew he had questions, but I also knew I was holding back because I didn’t want to burden him anymore. As soon as we entered, I dropped my coat on the couch and stood in the room, looking at nothingness. There was not enough fatigue to make me sleep. Not after hearing that my children could be locked in a shed, about to be taken, who knows where. "You won’t be able to rest like this," said Lancelot, closing the door behind us. His voice sounded calm but firm, as if he was sure of what he said. "I can’t turn off," I replied without looking at him. "Every time I close my eyes, I only see them. And now, nothing. Only silence." He approached slowly, hands in his pockets, but eyes locked on me. "They are alive, Naomi. And tomorrow we will fetch them. You need to believe th

  • The Price of a Second Chance   92 – Plan of Attack

    When Casper gave me the meeting address, I knew there was no way back. Lancelot walked by my side in silence, his steps firm as if he was already ready for the confrontation that would come. I didn’t dare to ask him to stay. Maybe because, deep down, I wanted him to come. The bar where Casper was waiting for us was in a discreet corner of the city, away from the movement. From the outside, it looked like an abandoned building, but there was a dim light behind the wooden door. I pushed slowly, feeling the weight of two presences at the same time—the one that awaited me inside and the one that walked with me. Casper was sitting at a corner table, with his back to the wall, observing every detail of the room. His posture was that of an alpha, even without saying a word. The look found mine first, then went straight to Lancelot. The two stared at each other. "You brought him." Casper’s voice was not loud, but it carried the tension he already knew. "He wanted to come." It was not th

  • The Price of a Second Chance   91 – Call

    When the call ended, I stood still with the phone still glued in my hand, as if my fingers did not know what to do without it. Casper had found a concrete clue. For a moment, a spark of hope lit up my mind. But soon the shadow of fear erased it. If they already knew that Casper was investigating, then time ran out against us."Naomi." Lancelot’s voice cut off my thoughts. He was at the door, watching me with that look that always seemed to cross too many layers. "What did Casper say?"I looked up but hesitated. Part of me didn’t want to repeat. Saying it out loud would make it real. "He listened while investigating. They were talking about the children. They said they had been moved. At least for now."Lancelot took a step forward, the tension on his shoulders visible. "So it is true. They are with the middle wolves."Assenti, clenching his lips. "Yes. And it seems they already know that Casper is hunting them."He closed his fists, and for a moment, I saw the same shadow that he had

  • The Price of a Second Chance   90 – Allies

    When I disconnected the link with Naomi, I realized that my hand still trembled. The sound of her breath had stuck in my head, mixed with that blind determination that we could bring the children back. I wanted to believe it, but every day that passed, the feeling of failure weighed more. Six years ago, I had rejected Naomi. Today, I tried not to reject my own responsibility as a parent. Fate seemed to laugh in my face.He was in the car, standing on the corner of a decaying neighborhood, where even the police avoided passing. The warehouse that interested me was two blocks away. I received the information that some medium wolves used this place as a meeting point. If that were true, perhaps I finally had a loose thread to pull—and if there was anyone able to hide the scent of three children for so long, it was them.I left the car without making a sound and pulled the hood to cover part of my face. The smell of rust and burnt oil permeated the air. As I approached, I noticed the side
