Chapter 1: The Wedding That Changed Everything

The wind howled through the towering pine trees, carrying with it a strange scent that made Anna's heart race. She stood at the edge of the grand estate, her fingers trembling as she stared at the ancient mansion before her.

The ground shook beneath her feet as another terrifying howl filled the night.

Anna had married into a family that wasn't human.

And someone—or something—was coming for them.
