Chapter 1 One

Adeline Argent sat quietly in the passenger seat of the old sedan, staring out at the rolling hills and wooded areas of the small town she had left behind over a decade ago. The trees, now brimming with the hues of autumn, seemed to wave a muted greeting as the car slowly cruised down the familiar country road. The homes were spaced far apart, each with its own sprawling lawn and quiet, serene atmosphere, just as she remembered. But something had changed in her since she left. It wasn't just the passage of time or the subtle shift in the landscape.

It was something deeper, an unfamiliar pull that tugged at her heart every time she looked back toward the place where she had spent her childhood.

Her grandmother, Dalia Argent, had passed away, leaving behind a legacy of love, laughter and above all, mysteries.

Her grandmother's house loomed in the distance-once a place of warmth and comfort, now an empty shell. The house seemed to whisper secrets she wasn't ready to uncover. She had inherited the home after her grandmother passed away two weeks ago, but with it came a mixture of emotions: sorrow, uncertainty, and an odd sense of dread she couldn't shake.

Adeline's grandmother had always been a mystery. She was kind, yes, but there was something elusive about her. Growing up, Adeline had always been curious about her grandmother's past, about the strange stories she'd occasionally hear whispered during late-night conversations, but those questions were always quickly dismissed.

Now, in the aftermath of her grandmother's death, Adeline had discovered a series of old journals, books, and cryptic notes hidden away in the attic. Most of them were written in codes that were difficult to decipher and the other ones were just completely strange. They spoke of legends, strange occurrences, and a hidden world of which Adeline had no knowledge. At first, she thought it was just the ramblings of an old woman with an overactive imagination. But there was a part of her-something deep and untapped-that couldn't let go of the mysteries her grandmother had left behind.

As they approached the house, the car's wheels crunched over the gravel driveway, breaking the stillness of the quiet afternoon. The house, though old and worn, still held its charm. Its faded paint and creeping ivy gave it an air of timelessness. For a moment, Adeline felt as though nothing had changed. She could almost hear the sound of her grandmother's voice, calling her in for tea, or see the familiar rocking chair gently swaying on the porch.

But the silence that greeted her now was stark and heavy, like the weight of the years they had spent apart. Adeline's heart ached as she stepped out of the car and gazed up at the house. It felt... wrong to be here without her grandmother, like the house had lost its soul. She paid the driver and stood staring at the house, as if waiting for her grandmother to fall out of the roof or suddenly appear somehow.

The door creaked as she stepped inside. The scent of old wood, dried herbs, and lavender lingered in the air. It was as if the house had been frozen in time, preserving the memories of her grandmother's life.Adeline's eyes swept over the familiar surroundings-her grandmother's favorite armchair, the old-fashioned clock on the mantel, the photographs on the walls, all holding fragments of the past.

Adeline walked toward the living room window, looking out into the sprawling backyard. The trees in the distance swayed in the breeze, their leaves rustling softly. As she gazed out at the view, she felt an overwhelming sense of isolation, as if she was standing at the edge of a cliff, uncertain of what lay ahead.

Her stomach rumbled in desperation for attention, and she was tempted to go find something to eat. Instead, she began to unpack the boxes of items from the car and carry them into the living room. Her mind was elsewhere, consumed by thoughts of the journals she had found in the attic. She had barely skimmed through the pages, but she couldn't shake the feeling that there was something important buried in those yellowed papers.

One journal in particular had caught her eye. It was a leather-bound book, its cover cracked and faded. It had been hidden beneath a pile of old blankets in the attic, its presence so well-concealed that she had nearly missed it. The moment she touched the journal, a strange sensation had washed over her-something she couldn't explain, like the air had thickened around her.

She reached into her bag and pulled out the journal, her fingers brushing the worn leather. As she sat down on the couch, she flipped it open to the first page. The handwriting was elegant, flowing, but the words were cryptic.

_"The wolves are watching. The path is drawn, and you, my dear, must follow it when the time is right. You are not what you think you are. Beware the darkening sky."_

Adeline's heart skipped a beat. What did it mean? Her grandmother had always been a little eccentric, but this was... different. The mention of wolves, the ominous warning-Adeline couldn't dismiss it as mere fantasy. There was something serious about this, something she needed to understand.

She quickly closed the journal, tucking it back into her bag.

As she climbed the stairs to the attic, the air grew heavier, the shadows seeming to stretch farther than they should. The house, though familiar, suddenly felt foreign. She couldn't shake the feeling that something was watching her.

She knew this was not just an ordinary paranoia.

The attic was exactly as she remembered it-dusty and filled with old trunks, boxes, and memorabilia. But there, hidden in the corner, she found something new. A small wooden chest, locked but seemingly untouched for years. Her curiosity piqued, Adeline crouched down and examined it.

It wasn't until she touched the lock that a strange sensation washed over her again, this time more intense than before. A chill ran down her spine. She had to open it. Somehow, she knew she had to.

With trembling hands, Adeline found the key hidden beneath a pile of old fabric. She unlocked the chest and opened it slowly. Inside, she found a collection of artifacts-strange symbols etched into pieces of metal, a few old photographs of people she didn't recognize, and a pendant. A silver wolf's head with glowing eyes.

She sat down as her breath caught in her throat. She knew, without a doubt, that this was the beginning of something bigger than she could ever have imagined. She had been called back to this place for a reason.

And it wasn't just to settle her grandmother's belongings.

Something else was waiting for her.
