Yet, the presence of the rift marred this beauty.


    Upon closer inspection, we realized that the rift had expanded downward, no longer a void of darkness but offering a glimpse into the scenery of another world.


    Carlos’ face was drained of color.


    “This is worse than we anticipated!”


    I furrowed my brow, my expression mirroring his dismay.


    However, before I could speak, murmurs of discussion from our surroundings reached our ears.


    “How did the rift expand so rapidly in such a short time?”


    “If the rift continues to widen like this, could it eventuallypletely split open?”


    The elders and guards apanying us all had solemn expressions, inevitably drawn into anxious conversations.


    They had also witnessed the vampires’ brutality and savagery, leading them to specte that the other world was teeming with vampires.


    They also feared that if the rift kept growing, it would unleash a devastating bloodbath upon our werewolfmunity, filling everyone with fear.


    Carlos inquired with concern, “Caleb, what’s our next move?”


    His eyes stayed glued to the rift, his anxiety evident.


    “Considering the circumstances, the rift seems poised to keep expanding.


    If it breaks the ground, the two worlds might actually merge.

    “Seal off this area immediately.


    No one is allowed near.


    ”


    Without protest, Carlos asked, “What’s our next step? What’s the n?”


    After a brief moment of contemtion, I replied, “We’re still in the dark about the other world.


    For now, every pack should bolster their defenses, intensify soldier training, and be prepared for battle at a moment’s notice.


    ”


    “Prepare for battle?” an elder gasped in disbelief, his voice tinged with horror.


    “Yes.


    What we know for sure is that the vampires from the other world hold a deep grudge against us.


    That’s why we must stay vignt and always be prepared to fight, or else we’ll be their prey.


    ”


    My words silenced the elders and guards, who grappled with the harsh reality before them.


    The air grew heavy with apprehension.


    After a moment, Carlos approached me cautiously.


    He said cautiously, “Caleb, I believe you’ve been behaving rather oddlytely.


    ”
