It takes time, effort, and even threats before she finally confesses what she overheard. “His Majesty mentioned Howling Woods while talking to a royal guard named Yael,” she says. Howling Woods?! It’s a dangerous forest where unseen predators, like orcs and ogres, may be residing according to legend. That’s also where the corpses of the kingdom's most notorious criminals are being dumped as offerings to those orcs and ogres, so they won’t need to get out of that forest to hunt for food. Everyone tells me not to come, but I refuse. I can’t stay here to just wait and do nothing!

“George… this whole thing is weird. You’re chasing shadows in the woods. You’re looking for a girl whose mother just got married..m” “Not her mother,” I snapped. She went still. The woods seemed to go still with her. “What do you mean?” she asked softly. My mind scrambled for a lie, any lie. “I....I meant....look, I don’t want to talk about this right now.” She raised her hands. “Okay. Fine. I get it. You’re paranoid. And honestly, yeah, the idea of you searching for your girlfriend in the middle of a forest is… weird but...”

He looked at my father and gave Dave a very hard look, then walked out. “What are you doing here?” “That's not how you speak to your husband, Rhea.” My father's voice was calm. I sat up straighter, ignoring the pain shooting through my ribs. “I don't know what he told you, but it's all lies. Every word…” “I know everything.” He cut me off. “The surrogate. The ex-girlfriend.

I had come to this remote mountain town for solitude after the betrayal in the city—my ex-fiancé’s lies still stinging like fresh wounds. As a wildlife photographer, I told myself this assignment was perfect: capturing rare nocturnal creatures for a prestigious magazine. But deep down, I knew I was running from the emptiness that had settled in my chest, the longing for someth

“Hi mum, I was just checking the first aid supplies.” “Why?” “Because I found something in the woods, and it needs help.” “You went to the woods at night?! Again?! Lydia, how many times do we have to go over this?!” “I know that you don’t like it, but I can’t help it, I love the woods and I love being out there at night. I can’t resist it and tonight that pull led me to this animal. It needs me mum.” She sighs but doesn’t argue further. “What kind of animal is it?”

Footsteps emerged closer to me. "Who..Go…Please…..Don’t…hurt me." I rumble like a weirdo. I clearly remember what happens in the dark, it’s dark and quiet so you think no one will find you but the dark is the devil's hideout, you can’t hide for long only if it’s a trap.

The other figures — the shadows, the twisted versions of their friends — stepped closer, their eyes hollow and cold. “You can’t leave,” Nadia hissed from behind them. “Not now.

The others reached out, desperate to save her, but it was no use. WildWood had claimed her. Jake stood frozen, his chest heaving with disbelief.

Why did I just notice how almost thick the woods were? I shouldn’t be surprised, though. The Green Woods pack was most notable for having the thickest of woods as that was what they mainly used as a base to hinder the enemy from terrorizing their territory.
