Gabby thought of a quiet beach she once visited as a child. She pictured the waves, soft wind, and golden sand.“Doing it good,” Stooper said, watching her. “Now feel the energy in your chest; it should feel warm.”Gabby felt something like a soft pulse inside her.Steve stood to the side, watching proudly.“Let’s move on, stand up," Stooper said. Gabby stood slowly.“We will continue with something small. I want you to raise your hand and imagine pulling energy toward you. Something like calling the wind.”Gabby lifted her hand slowly. She closed her eyes, trying to focus. The trees around rustled, and a small gust of wind passed through the area.She opened her eyes, surprised.“Did I do that?” she asked.“You did, see? You are already making progress.”Stooper smiled.They kept practicing as Stooper showed her how to strengthen her mind, control her breathing, and focus on her thoughts fully"Now, let's try another difficult move," Stooper said. " You will have to lift this rock fr
Steve helped Gabby out of the washroom after the incident and towards the hotel room. When they got there, Steve opened the door and led her inside. The room was calm and warm. Gabby sat down slowly on the edge of the bed. She still felt afraid after what happened.Steve knelt in front of her and held her hands in his and asked, “Are you okay? How are you feeling now?”She nodded slowly. “Yes, I am okay, but just a little scared that I couldn’t control it. I didn’t even know what I was doing. I just felt like I was being pulled toward him.”Steve sighed. “I know. I saw it.” He said calmly.Gabby looked up at him, her eyes full of confusion. “What if I lose control next time? What if he uses it again and I don’t come back?”"Don't say that, dear, I won’t let anything happen to you,” Steve responded.Just then, there was a knock on the door. Steve stood and opened it. Stooper walked in, his face serious. He looked at Gabby, nodded gently, then turned to Steve.“How is she now?” Stooper
Guests began rubbing their arms, and some said they felt dizzy. Others whispered that their bodies were feeling heavy all of a sudden, and a baby in the back of the tent started crying loudly for no reason. Steve’s heart dropped; it was happening.Somewhere in the crowd, Simon, who had entered using an invitation he got from Maya, had triggered a dark wave of power meant to weaken everyone’s senses and make Gabby vulnerable to him. It was an old trick used by rogue wolves to drain energy from large groups without being seen. Steve looked around quickly, scanning the area to see a certain figure. Just then, Stooper appeared near the far end of the tent. No one noticed him arrive. He had used a secret wolf passage to get there quickly after sensing something was wrong. Steve saw him and gave him a small nod.Stooper moved through the crowd quietly. Steve did the same from his side. They both raised their hands slowly by their sides, their palms facing downward. It looked like they w
Finally, the very long-awaited day of the company’s 20th anniversary arrived. The event building was filled with excitement as staff wore elegant black and gold outfits that matched the theme of the event. A big white tent was set up in the restaurant garden, decorated with gold and silver ribbons. Long tables were covered with white cloths, and beautiful flower vases were placed at the center of each table. Outside, a red carpet had been rolled out from the entrance of the building to the tent. Photographers stood ready with their cameras to take photos while Guests arrived in beautiful cars and stepped out and into the event in style. Waiters walked around offering drinks and snacks as soft music played from the speakers, making the atmosphere welcoming and enjoyable.Inside one of the rooms, Gabby stood in front of the mirror adjusting her dress. She wore a deep green gown that hugged her body perfectly. But despite her beautiful appearance, her heart felt a little tense.As
Just before Maya could say anything, Gabby walked out of the kitchen holding a small tray with two cups of tea. She had a bright smile on her face and said loudly, “Steve, the tea is ready!”Her eyes noticed Maya sitting there, but she didn’t show any surprise or concern. She simply walked over to Steve’s desk and placed the tray down gently."Maya, you are here," Gabby said.Maya’s heart sank the moment she saw Gabby. She was shocked, she didn’t expect to find Gabby there, and what surprised her even more was seeing Gabby making tea for Steve like it was something she was used to doing."Yes," she quickly resolved."What is going on here?"Maya thought. " Why is she in his kitchen making tea for him? Are they that close?" She asked herself.She stared at Gabby, but Gabby acted like she wasn’t even there. She handed Steve a cup and kept one for herself, then sat comfortably on the chair beside him, clearly feeling at ease in his presence.Maya’s thoughts grew more wild. "No wonder she
Gabby sat across from Steve in his office, holding her notebook and a pen, and her computer was in front of her. Steve sat on the other side, going through something on his computer.“So, we need to plan everything for the company’s anniversary party as soon as possible.”Gabby began, flipping to a clean page in her notebook.Steve nodded. “Yes. Days are already moving so fast, and time is not on our side. We need to make it perfect because it will bring a lot of attention to the company.”Gabby smiled a little and said, “I’ve been thinking we should make it memorable, like something that people will talk about for weeks.”Steve leaned forward. “Mmmmmmh, tell me, what’s on your mind?”“Well, I think we can hold it in a beautiful outdoor garden. Somewhere fancy but still peaceful. We can have lights, music, and a stage for speeches.”Gabby said, her eyes bright with excitement,Steve thought for a moment, then responded. “That sounds good. We can invite all our staff, clients, and some i
