Kapitel 8: Resolve in the Shadows

The next morning dawned cold and gray, the skies thick with dark clouds that cast long shadows over the estate. The air was heavy with a sense of foreboding, a lingering chill that seeped into every corner of the house. Elias's words from the night before echoed through Anna and James's minds, a warning they couldn't ignore.

Luna, however, seemed different. Despite the tension that hung over her parents, she moved with a quiet sense of purpose, her crimson eyes focused and steady. She had overheard enough to understand the threat Elias represented, and though she didn't know the full extent of the dangers lurking outside, she felt a fierce determination to protect the only family she had ever known.
