章節 49: Chapter 49: Waiting

Thea’s POV

The flames dance in the fireplace, casting a warm glow across the cozy cabin. I sit in front of the flickering fire, my gaze fixed on the window as delicate snowflakes fall from the night sky. The quiet solitude surrounds me, and the crackling fire provides a comforting soundtrack to the thoughts that swirl in my mind.

I had told my family that I needed some time alone, that I couldn't bring myself to leave Montana and return to Texas for the upcoming semester at nursing school. The supernatural events, the encounter with the Alpha, and the mysterious barrier between worlds had left me grappling with questions and uncertainties. I needed this time to gather my thoughts, to make sense of the inexplicable.
