Third POV

‘Save me...’

Levi’s head snapped up suddenly, his body tensing. He could have sworn he heard Hazel’s voice. It sounded super soft and weak, but it was unmistakable. She was calling out for help.

“What was that?” he asked, his eyes darting around the car. “Lucas, did you hear that?”

Lucas frowned, his jaw tightening as he glanced at his brother. “Hear what exactly?”

“I thought I heard Hazel,” Levi said, his voice dropping to a whisper. “She was calling for help.”

Lucas immediately pursed his lips, his eyes darkening. “I thought I hallucinated it.”

Callum leaned forward from the backseat. “What’s going on?”

“We heard Hazel’s voice,” Lucas explained, his knuckles turning white as he gripped the steering wheel. “We don’t know how.”

The SUV fell into an uncomfortable silence.

The seating arrangement was awkward at best—Callum had deliberately taken the seat furthest from Kendra, pressed against the door as if trying to melt into it. He hadn’t made eye contact with her since they’d all gotten into the car. Percival sat between them, either unaware of or choosing to ignore the tension.

No one commented on it outwardly, but even a blind man could see that Callum was avoiding Kendra. Thankfully, she didn’t make any comments about it and let him have his space.

“We’re here,” Lucas announced as he pulled the car into a spot on Moonbite Lane. The street was eerily empty for midday, with only a few pedestrians hurrying past shuttered storefronts.

They all climbed out of the vehicle, stretching their legs after the tense drive. Lucas checked his phone for the time, then looked up at the others.
