He turned her body till she was lying face flat in the sand and gently picked her by the scruff of her neck between his teeth. The waters began to move closer to shore so Venkat ran. He dropped Heidi beside Ro's wolf. "Hide." She laid on the sandy ground covering Heidi's body with her wolf's, one paw around the child's body. The big rock hid them perfectly well and the sounds of the waves drowned Heidi's laughter.

She would get this one too. HIDE! The voice came. She didn’t stop to question the voice this time, she just did as it said. But where? She asked herself as she looked around for a place to hide. Right. The voice said. She took off towards the right. She seen the bluff coming up in front of her and jumped. She landed on top of the bluff and dug herself into the ground as much as she could. She could see them from her vantage point, but they couldn’t see her. She almost jumped up and gave herself away when she seen the wolf from her vision. It was standing in front of the others, she wondered what they were talking about. No doubt the wolf that ran away was telling the others about what she ha

** The Shadow That Follows** Hidden Safehouse – Somewhere in the Mountains The safehouse was a relic from another time—stone walls, thick steel-reinforced doors, and a hidden weapons cache buried beneath the floorboards. It wasn’t the kind of place you stumbled upon by accident. Leena had been right. This place was off-grid, untraceable. But for how long? Ayesha sat at a worn wooden table, fingers drumming against the surface, staring at the encrypted files Priya had managed to extract from The Hollow Order’s facility.

Elsewhere – Clarissa’s Hidden Estate Clarissa watched Ethan and Nathan’s press conference replay again. “You’re going to try to be heroes,” she murmured. “But even heroes fall.” She tapped her keyboard again, this time opening a second folder. “Ethan: Mother | Institutional Records | Buried Files” Her lips curled. “Let’s see how strong love really is when I bring back everything he thought he’d escaped.”

Then he said, “I haven't seen you for a long time. Almost a year too. Just like Papa who disappeared and didn't want to meet us.” “Yes, yes. I understand. Now let's meet your papa first.” Haikal did not respond. He preferred to tidy up Kayla's shoulder-length hair that was messy about her shoulders. He knew very well that his sister really didn't feel comfortable on this trip. “Don't be afraid. Later we will meet Mom too. Hmm?” said Haikal who then smiled gently. Three hours had passed. The car carrying them slowly turned towards a magnificent house in the Kembang area. At the same time, Haikal began to open his eyes after falling asleep for a while.

“You will fix this. Arrange a meeting with Maxwell or I’ll make sure you don’t come out of that pool in one piece.” Kelvin slipped, crashing into the water beside Cecline. Diana stood over them like an executioner. On the balcony, Grandmother hid a smile. Perfect,now Rose can do what she needs to do. At the construction site, Rose’s heart sank. Men stepped out of the shadows, circling her. “Looks like you took a wrong turn, lady,” one thug sneered. Before Rose could react, stones flew through the air. The children from the NGO appeared, hurling rocks and shouting.

Her skin seemed undecided about staying in this world. “What have you dragged to my door, wolf-cub?” she rasped. “My cousin,” Kael said, respectful but unafraid. “She needs to be hidden.” Those misted eyes pinned me. “You wish to pass among males unseen.” “Yes.” My voice didn’t shake.

This was no ordinary enemy; it was alive, adaptive, and utterly relentless. They stumbled deeper into the forest, every step more treacherous than the last. The fog thickened, twisting into shapes that seemed both familiar and horrifying, faces that whispered secrets, limbs that reached for them. Eva could hear the whispers now clearly, distorted and eerie: “We see you… we know you… you cannot hide…” She pressed her hands to her ears, shaking her head, trying to block them out, but the words burrowed into her mind, a seed of doubt and fear that threatened to destabilize her focus.

Somewhere that held the beginning. And then it came to him — not as a guess. As a certainty. Like a whisper from her soul. She went back. Not to a person. Not to a house. To a place. One only they knew. Hidden. Secret. Sacred. A stretch of water wrapped in trees, so still it looked like glass. A narrow dirt path, overgrown in summer, barely visible unless you knew where to look.
