At last, dark falls and finds the four of us approaching the mouth of the ancient cave system in the north. Callie draws runic shapes in the dirt to ward off unwelcome shadows.

"Callie, are you sure we're on the right track?" I ask, my voice tinged with skepticism. I struggle to trust this mysterious witch who claims to hold the key to breaking the curse, but she’s been helpful so far and we have to keep going.

"Trust me, Logan," Callie replies calmly, her violet eyes filled with certainty. "We’ll be there soon. My ancestors hid the path to the caves so that no one would find them."

I can tell Ethan senses my desperation as my fists clench at my sides, jaw tightening. I need to believe that Callie can help us – that she can help us find the answers we need to save my pack and the town of Everwood. But after so much searching for answers and finding nothing but dead ends, it’s difficult for me to let go of these doubts. What if there is no way to break the curse?

"Alright, Callie," I say finally, giving her a curt nod. "Lead the way."

As we continue on our journey to the caves, the path before us seems to grow more treacherous with each passing minute. The ground beneath our feet is uneven and rocky, forcing us to tread carefully to avoid injury. Dark clouds gather overhead blocking the moonlight, casting eerie shadows over the dense forest surrounding us.

"Stay close, everyone," Ethan warns, his eyes scanning the area for any potential danger. "We don't know what we might encounter out here."

My heart races with anticipation as we venture deeper into the unknown, unsure of what we might find within the fabled caves. Despite the anxiety gnawing at my stomach, I can't help but feel a spark of excitement – if Callie is right, we are so close to discovering the truth behind the curse and the secrets hidden within Everwood.

"Are we almost there?" Emily asks Callie, trying to mask the tremor in her voice.

"Patience, Emily," she replies with a cryptic smile. "We'll reach the caves soon enough."

Emily walks beside me, her expression unreadable. She knows I’m wrestling with my doubts about Callie and her motives, but her hope is strong and infectious – hope that perhaps we will finally break the curse that has plagued my pack for generations.

"Logan," Emily whispers, reaching out to touch my arm gently. "We're going to find a way to break the curse. I believe in you."

“And I’m sorry about the other night, when we were attacked.” She added.

“What?” I question, “the shadow shifters who attacked us?”

“Yeah, it seemed like they were after me. Or at least, you said the curse prevents you from revealing your secret to humans. Maybe they’re angry about that?” Emily asks curiously.

“None of this is your fault babe. These assholes have been threatening us, but it’s time to end this once and for all. And I promise I’ll keep you safe.
