The impact never came.

APARTMENT 2E words ingathering Tuesday, 3:25 PM And so it ends . . . the book began. She stopped. Closed her eyes, her hand resting on the page. Listened to the sounds of Eidolon, the life of the building more stealth than surprising. A board creaking. A pipe clanking somewhere distant and buried, the sound soft. The calm hiss of a radiator and the closing of a door down the hall. It was rarely the stomping of a neighbor’s feet or the sharp, heated conversation of a quarreling couple. On Eidolon, it was always the building that spoke. And it was in the quiet behind closed eyes where she could hear it best.

I can hear distant wolves yelp in confusion, feel the floor under our feet hump like something deep in the earth just flinched. Elias collapses forward into me, dead weight, bringing both of us to our knees in the damp grass. My ears are ringing, my heart feels like it’s been used as a drum, and the glyph in my palm is a burning brand. For one horrible second, everything goes completely, utterly silent.

A horn blared. Bright lights. Too close. And then… Boom.

He lifted his enormous head, powerful jaws parting slightly to reveal the flash of long fangs. And roared. The sound crashed over me like a physical wave—deep, guttural, primal—shaking the trees and the very ground beneath my feet. It rolled through every inch of my body, vibrating down my spine and settling low in my belly with a terrifying, heated pulse I refused to name. My vision blurred at the edges. My knees buckled. I dropped hard to the forest floor, chest heaving, fighting with everything I had to stay conscious. The world spun. The last thing I saw was those burning red eyes drawing nearer… until they consumed everything.

Something alive. Liam and I freeze, instantly alert. I kill the flashlight, plunging us into absolute darkness as we listen intently. Nova surges forward, heightening my senses as adrenaline floods my system. The sound comes again, closer now—a dry rustling like something large dragging itself across stone.

I could hear a group of students whispering near the library steps, and I could understand every single word they spoke despite the long distance. The overlapping noises stacked on top of each other, and my ears began to ache from the intense volume.

In the next instant, countless silver bullets rained down like a storm. The savages who had been celebrating moments ago fell in droves. Armed helicopters circled overhead, their overwhelming firepower sealing off the entire area. Fully equipped werewolf mercenaries descended from the sky, eradicating everything in their path with absolute force. Through the smoke and chaos, a tall figure charged toward me like a madman. He sliced through the ropes binding me and wrapped me tightly in his blood-soaked coa

Unfortunately, she had to somehow endure these several hours, not letting herself be killed at all costs.
