Ayaan slowly walked toward the main door.
An eerie silence still lingered inside the house.
Morning was close…
Yet the darkness outside still felt unusually heavy.
As if the night itself refused to end.
Just as Ayaan reached the door, his father stepped ahead of him and opened it.
The moment the door swung open—
Four people were standing outside.
Their faces looked calm…
But their eyes carried a strange depth.
The instant Ayaan saw them, his instincts took over.
His vampire form emerged immediately.
His eyes turned blood red…
And his sharp fangs became visible.
He was about to move toward them when—
Dad stopped him instantly.
Dad: "Relax, Ayaan… they're not our enemies."
Then he looked at the four strangers with a faint smile.
Dad: "So… you finally made it, my friends."
Ayaan observed them carefully.
Around each of their necks hung the same cross-shaped locket…
Exactly like the one his family wore.
Confusion was clearly visible in his eyes.
Ayaan: "Dad… who are these people? And why are they here this early?"
Dad: "They're old friends of mine, son.
We're leaving this city now… and we could be attacked anytime on the way.
So we might need some help."
Ayaan slowly returned to his normal form…
But confidence still echoed in his voice.
Ayaan: "Dad… don't you trust me?
I can protect everyone on my own."
His father stepped closer and placed a hand on his shoulder.
Dad: "I trust you completely, Ayaan.
But I can't risk Alina and her mother's lives.
They're human…
Even one attack from a werewolf could kill them.
That's why I called for backup… nothing more."
Ayaan stayed silent for a few moments.
Then he slowly nodded.
Ayaan: "Alright, Dad.
You guys talk… we'll leave by nine."
With that—
He turned and walked back toward the room.
Inside the room.
A dim darkness surrounded everything.
Alina was sitting quietly on the bed.
Her eyes were red…
As if she had been crying for a long time.
The moment she saw Ayaan—
She immediately stood up and tightly hugged him.
Alina: "I don't care if you're human… or something else.
I can never leave you, Ayaan…
You belong only to me."
Ayaan's eyes became moist too.
He gently pulled her even closer.
They loved each other deeply…
And maybe that was why—
Even after learning the truth…
Neither of them could walk away.
Ayaan: "Don't worry, Alina…
This side of me will never hurt you.
And after our marriage…
when we finally become one…
I'll become human too.
Once our souls and lives unite…
I'll be just like you."
Alina kept looking into his eyes…
As if she trusted him more than the entire world.
But—
Before Ayaan could even finish speaking—
"AAAAAOOOHHHH!!!"
Several terrifying howls echoed around the house at once.
Even the glass windows trembled violently.
The atmosphere inside the room changed instantly.
Ayaan and Alina looked at each other immediately—
And in that moment…
Ayaan understood.
They had arrived.
