Rain lashes against the darkened windows of the Hale residence, the storm mirroring the chaos in your heart. You stand before the heavy oak door, chest heaving, sweat mixing with the cold drizzle on your face. The weight of the secret you overheard—Kate and her father plotting the arson, the murder of innocent werewolves—crushes you. You raise a trembling hand, your knuckles rapping frantically against the wood, desperate for Derek to hear you, to believe you before the flames consume everything.
