A few days later, I was deep in sleep when a sharp voice jolted me awake. Thrice’s anger echoed from the main room.

“Someone! Get in here! The brats ran off”

The sound of hurried footsteps filled the air, followed by my father and stepmother’s curses.

“Find them! Find them fast! Damn it, we were so close-”

I jumped out of bed, my heart pounding. I dashed toward the main room, just catching sight of the frantic adults rushing out, clearly searching for the kids.

My chest tightened. Did the boy and the werewolf girl really escape?

I followed quickly, determined to find him.

Luckily, Thrice and the others were too focused on searching with their flashlights. They didn’t notice me following behind.

By the time I reached the cliff, the werewolf girl stood alone–Caden was gone.

Thrice cursed under his breath, running a hand over his bald head before spitting on the ground. “Dammit, this is bad… grab her! Bring her back!”

The men closed in, their eyes gleaming with hunger. They wanted to capture her.

The werewolf girl backed away, her body shaking, her feet slowly inching toward the cliff. Then, without warning, she stepped too far.

“Ah!”

The only sound I heard was her scream as she fell.

I exhaled deeply, trying to pull my thoughts together.
