Chapter 158 - An Unanswered Question

The words hung heavy in the air, a palpable tension seeping into the room. The werewolves exchanged uneasy glances, their eyes betraying the weight of their shared secret. Miller's question had struck a nerve, resurrecting the haunting memories they had fought so hard to bury.

As the silence stretched, time seemed to stand still. The atmosphere crackled with anticipation, each heartbeat echoing loudly in the ears of those present. Miller's gaze shifted from one werewolf to another, searching for answers, craving the truth that lay shrouded in their haunted eyes.

Sophie Smith, one of the Pack's members, stood tall and resolute, her expression a mixture of determination and caution. She understood the gravity of Miller's question, the longing for closure that burned within him. Yet, she also knew the dangers that lurked outside their sanctuary and the perilous consequences that awaited those who unveiled the truth.

Finally, breaking the silence that threatened to suffocate them all, Sophie spoke with measured words, her voice carrying the weight of their collective burden. "Miller, we understand your curiosity, your need for answers. But the revelations we hold are not to be taken lightly. They are bound to the darkness of the Full Moon, intertwined with the very essence of our existence. Only after the night has passed will we share the truth that you seek."

Her words resonated, filling the room with a sense of foreboding. Miller could sense the hesitation, the fear that gripped their hearts. The werewolves were bound by a pact of secrecy, a pact that shielded them from the outside world but also burdened them with the weight of their choices.

Deep down, Miller knew that the revelation would come at a cost. The truth, once unveiled, would set in motion a chain of events that could forever alter their lives. He could feel the turmoil within the werewolves, torn between the desire to protect their own and the need to confront the ghosts of their past.

Sophie's gaze locked with Miller's, her eyes filled with a mix of sympathy and determination. "After the Full Moon, we promise to lay bare the secrets that haunt us. But until then, we must focus on the task at hand, the confinement of our brethren and the preservation of our pack. The answers you seek will come, but patience, young LOKI LUPIN, is the virtue that shall guide us through these dark times."

Miller nodded, understanding the weight of their decision. He knew that the truth could not be rushed, that it required careful handling and consideration. The Full Moon loomed on the horizon, casting its ethereal glow upon their path. It was a night of reckoning, a night that would test their resolve and reveal the depths of their innermost secrets.

With a newfound determination, Miller squared his shoulders and accepted the responsibility that lay before him. The mystery surrounding the vampires, THE UNKNOWN, and the true nature of their existence would be unraveled, one thread at a time. But for now, he would embrace the darkness, prepare for the battles that awaited, and trust in the promise of a future where the truth would finally be laid bare.

As the room stirred with renewed purpose, the werewolves began to disperse, their eyes alight with a flicker of hope. Miller felt a surge of anticipation, a hunger for the knowledge that awaited him. The Full Moon was approaching gradually, casting its ominous glow upon their path. It was a night of revelations, a night where the shadows would be lifted, and the secrets of their world would finally be brought to light.

"So THE WIZARD would soon arrive and would tell you when and where he would perform the spells on these chains to confine us" Benjamin Carter finally spoke breaking the awkward silence that was in the room.

The chains lay coiled on the floor, their sheer weight evident in the way they seemed to anchor themselves to the ground. Each link was thick and robust, forged from unyielding iron that had withstood the test of time. The metal gleamed in the dim light of the room, its surface polished to a dull sheen that hinted at the countless battles it had witnessed.

As Benjamin Carter pointed towards the chains, a sense of foreboding filled the air. They were no ordinary chains, for they had been specially crafted to contain the ferocious might of werewolves. The very sight of them sent a shiver down the spines of those who gazed upon their imposing presence.

The links of the chains were massive, their dimensions designed to withstand the immense strength of the transformed werewolves. They were interlocked with meticulous precision, leaving no room for escape. The metal itself seemed to possess an aura of resilience, as if it were imbued with ancient magic, ready to bind and restrain the untamed power that would soon be unleashed.

Each link bore intricate engravings, symbols of protection and restraint. Ancient runes, etched with precision and purpose, danced across the surface of the chains, their meanings known only to the most skilled practitioners of magic. It was through these enchantments that the chains gained their potency, their ability to subdue even the most ferocious of creatures.

The chains exuded a palpable sense of power, as if they held within them the weight of countless struggles and victories. They were a testament to the ingenuity and resourcefulness of those who had crafted them, a physical manifestation of their determination to harness the unruly forces of nature.

And yet, despite their imposing presence, the chains held a paradoxical beauty. The iron, though weathered and battle-worn, possessed a subtle elegance in its craftsmanship. The curves and contours of each link intertwined like a delicate dance, a symphony of strength and grace. It was a reminder that even in the face of darkness and danger, there could be artistry and harmony.

As Miller and the werewolves observed the chains, a mixture of awe and trepidation filled their hearts. They knew that when the Full Moon finally cast its haunting glow upon them, the chains would become more than mere restraints—they would become the last line of defense, the fragile barrier between their human selves and the ravenous beasts within.

With a solemn understanding, they accepted the weight of their fate, the inevitability of their transformation. The chains, a symbol of both captivity and protection, stood as a reminder of the sacrifices they must make in order to safeguard their humanity. They would embrace the burden, knowing that within the confines of those heavy links lay their only hope of containing the untamed forces that dwelled within their souls.

Although, Miller knew this was not an easy Job. He might likely get injured several times with the claws of most of them when they finally turn to Werewolves. But thanks to his Fast Heal Abilities, he didn't have to worry too much, he knew he would heal instantly.

"Just wait the wizard is coming...." Benjamin Carter couldn't complete his sentence he started hearing voices in his head.

He wasn't the only one, as every Werewolf there could hear a voice in their head. That Including Miller their LOKI LUPIN, who was also a Throsk'Bok. It was a Mutant who had telepathy and was communicating with the entire school. Every one in the school could hear the voices simultaneously. The voice spoke:

"Everyone within the confinement of this school should go to the school hall Immediately, an important information is about to be passed out. Everyone including Soldiers, Teachers, Workers and Student. I repeat, if you are within the confines of this school, go to the school hall immediately. it's urgent."
