Inside the house, fear had taken over.
Every face was tense…
every pair of eyes carried a hidden dread.
Outside, the wind howled violently.
Lightning tore across the sky again and again.
And in the middle of it all—
From somewhere deep within the forest…
Long, chilling howls echoed through the night.
First one…
Then another…
And then many at once…
As if hunters hidden in the darkness had awakened together.
Their voices bounced off the mountains and returned—
filling the air with nothing but the sound of werewolves.
Ayaan turned toward his mother.
Ayaan: "Mom… if everyone agreed to the treaty…
then why didn't the Alpha family accept it?"
His mother looked at him slowly.
There was fear in her eyes…
but also the shadow of an old memory.
Mom: "Because for them… vampires are not just prey…"
She paused… then spoke in a low voice—
"Vampire blood is power for them…
the source of their strength."
Silence filled the room.
Mom (serious tone): "The more vampire blood they consume…
the stronger they become."
"So strong…
that even other werewolves—or vampires—struggle to stand against them."
Ayaan fell silent.
Now everything was starting to make sense.
This wasn't just hatred.
This was hunting.
No one spoke.
No one had the words.
Only the distant howls…
and flashes of lightning—
making the fear inside them grow even deeper.
Suddenly—
Ayaan's phone rang.
The name on the screen—
Alina.
He picked up immediately.
Her voice was trembling.
She told him everything—
The shadow…
the footsteps…
and those glowing red eyes in the darkness.
With every word, Ayaan's expression grew more serious.
After the call ended, he stood there in silence for a moment.
His mind had connected everything.
This wasn't random.
They were being watched…
For a long time.
Not just him and his family—
Alina…
and her mother…
were in danger too.
Ayaan slowly looked toward his father.
His father took a deep breath… and spoke firmly—
Dad: "From now on… none of us will go out alone."
There was finality in his voice.
"As soon as possible… we will leave this city."
"We'll go somewhere…
where these werewolves cannot reach us."
Silence filled the room once again.
But this time…
it wasn't just fear.
It was the silence before a storm.
Now the question was—
Would Ayaan leave the city with his family…?
Or would he stay… and face what was coming?
And the biggest question of all—
Could he really leave Alina alone…
in the middle of this danger?
What do you think will happen next?
