“Evie, run!”Ethan’s voice cut through the chaos, but I was already running.My lungs burned, my legs trembled, and sharp stones tore at the soles of my boots. Around me, survivors stumbled over broken concrete and abandoned vehicles, their cries swallowed by the snarls thundering behind us.The rogues were gaining on us. I glanced over my shoulder. Monstrous figures tore through the wreckage, their powerful bodies covered in patches of dark fur. Their faces had twisted into wolf-like shapes, with elongated jaws, pointed ears, and rows of razor-sharp fangs. Their amber eyes glowed in the darkness, while curved claws struck the asphalt as they ran.They were werewolf rogues, creatures that had once been human but had transformed into something terrifyingly inhuman. They possessed the strength and instincts of predators, and their hunger for human flesh seemed impossible to satisfy.One leaped onto the roof of an overturned bus before springing down and continuing the hunt. A heart-wren

My phone started ringing before I had finished writing my list. I glanced at the screen. It was Lily Lancaster. My best friend In my first life, I would have answered immediately, afraid she might need something or that I had upset her. Now, seeing her name made bitterness rise in my throat so I let it ring.The call ended, but my phone began vibrating again a few seconds later. I answered on the third call.“Evie, what is wrong with you?” Her voice was so sharp that I pulled the phone away from my ear. No greeting, no question about how I was feeling, just an accusation, as though refusing to give her money were unforgivable.“What are you talking about, Lily?”“Ethan told me you refused to help with my business.”“Yes. I did.”“Why? She demanded. “You know how important this is to me. I've been working on it for months, and now that I've found an opportunity, you're acting like you don't care.”I walked to the window, picturing her behind the shelter gates, her face streaked with t

I slammed on the brakes. The car jerked to a stop, and my seat belt dug into my shoulder, but I didn't care..My eyes remained fixed on the small figure beneath the flickering streetlight. It was a little girl.“Mika?” Her name escaped my lips before I could think.For one impossible moment, everything else disappeared. The construction projects, the approaching apocalypse, the exhaustion weighing on my body but none of it mattered. All I could see was the child whose death had haunted me for two years.I was certain it was her. I recognized her small frame and the familiar shape of her hair. In my first life, I had carried her on my back through streets crawling with rogues, promising to get her somewhere safe. Now she was standing beside a bus stop, seemingly unharmed.My hands trembled as I released my seat belt.“Mika!”I threw open the car door and hurried toward her, barely remembering to check the road before crossing. But by the time I reached the bus stop, she was gone.I sto

Evie stepped into the living room and stopped. Lily sat on the sofa, tears streaming down her face. Ethan was beside her, one hand resting on her shoulder. The moment Lily noticed Evie, she sprang to her feet. “This is all your fault!” Evie stared at her. “Excuse me?” “If you had just lent me the money, none of this would have happened!” Lily cried. “I told you I needed your help, but you refused to listen. Now everything has fallen apart!” Evie slowly set down her bag. “What exactly are you talking about?” “My business!” Lily snapped. “I told you how important this opportunity was, but you didn't care. You had the money, Evie. You could have helped me!” Evie closed her eyes briefly. She was exhausted, and the last thing she needed was another argument. “Lily, please. I'm tired. Can't we discuss this another time?” “Another time?” Lily repeated. “That's all you have to say to me?” “I'm saying we should talk when we're both calm. You're upset, and I've had a long da
