•Lisa•I placed my hand against it.Nothing happened.I pushed harder.Still nothing.I moved the lantern closer.There was a small carving beside the crack.A circle.Inside it was the same symbol from the villa window.My heart raced.I pressed my fingers against it.A soft click sounded.I jumped back.The wall moved.Not much.Just enough for a narrow opening to appear.I stared at it.There was a passage behind the wall.I couldn’t believe it.I pushed the stone farther.The opening widened.I stepped inside.The passage was narrow.I had to turn sideways in some places because the walls were so close together.The air was colder here.I held the lantern in front of me and continued walking.My footsteps echoed.For several minutes, nothing happened.Then I saw something on the ground.A footprint.I stopped.It wasn’t mine.The mark was fresh.My heart began pounding.Someone had been here.Recently.I crouched down and touched the edge of the print.Still damp.Whoever had made

•Victor•The man came after midnight.I knew he was coming before I heard the door open.For the past three nights, I had barely slept. Every time I closed my eyes, I saw the same thing.A child.Blood on the floor.A woman screaming.And a pair of golden eyes staring at me from the darkness.The dream always ended the same way.You should have stopped it.I opened my eyes.The room was dark.The fire in the fireplace had almost gone out.Then I heard the lock turn.My fingers tightened around the blanket.The door opened slowly.A man stepped inside.He wore a long black coat.His face was hidden beneath the hood.I didn’t call for the guards.There was no point.If this man had managed to enter my room without anyone noticing, then the guards were already useless.He closed the door behind him.“You took your time,” I said.“You knew I was coming.”“I’ve been expecting you.”He walked closer.The faint light from the fireplace touched the side of his face.I recognized him.My stoma

~Ronan~I woke up with Lisa’s name on my lips.My eyes opened sharply.For a few seconds, I didn’t know where I was.The room was dark.The curtains moved slightly from the wind coming through the open window.My breathing was heavy.I sat up and rubbed my face.It had been a dream.Only a dream.But it had felt real.Too real.I looked at the clock beside my bed.3:17 a.m.I reached for the glass of water on the table.My hand stopped halfway.I could still hear her voice.Lisa.She had been standing in front of me.The same way she had stood five years ago.Terrified.Her eyes had been filled with something I hadn’t understood.She had been trying to tell me something.I closed my eyes.The memory returned.We were outside.The night was cold.Lisa was holding something in her hands.She kept looking behind her.I remembered asking her what was wrong.She had opened her mouth.Then someone called my name.I turned.Someone was approaching.A figure.I couldn’t see the face.I rememb

~Dr. Elias~I had spent twenty years learning when to keep my mouth shut.Tonight, I was going to break that rule.The road leading toward Blackthorn territory was almost empty.I drove slowly through the darkness, keeping my headlights low whenever I approached the boundary. I had no business being there, and if the pack guards found me, I would have to explain why an ordinary human doctor was sneaking around their territory after midnight.But I wasn’t there as a doctor.I was there because of Milo.I parked beneath a group of trees and stepped out.The air felt different here.I had forgotten that feeling.The silence.The scent of wolves hidden somewhere beyond the trees.The strange pressure that seemed to settle over the land.I reached into my coat and touched the old silver pendant hanging beneath my shirt.I hadn’t worn it in years.Tonight, I needed the reminder of why I had come.I walked toward the boundary.A figure stepped out from the darkness.I stopped.“Dr. Elias?”I

~Desmond~The captain was lying.I knew it the moment he answered my question.“Where were you last night?”Captain Rowan didn’t blink.“With the eastern patrol.”“Which men?”“Three guards.”“Names.”He hesitated.Only for a second.But it was enough.“Why do you need to know?”I closed the file in my hand.“Because one of those men is missing.”Rowan leaned against the table.“The forest is dangerous.”“So is lying to me.”His expression hardened.“I don’t appreciate the accusation.”“I’m not accusing you.”I stepped closer.“I’m investigating you.”Silence.For weeks, I had been following the information leaks.The attack on the guards.The poisoned wine.The assassin who somehow knew where Lisa would be.The strange movements around the villa.Every time something happened, information had reached the enemy before the guards could respond.Someone had been telling them where to look.I had checked the patrol schedules.Security reports.Council records.Messages.There was only on
