Chapter 59: 59. Unknown Enemies

Laura was still on her way back home after leaving the Temple. She moved briskly through the dark woods, heading toward the main road where she could catch a cab.

The night air was cold and still, and the only sound around her was the rustling of leaves and her own footsteps. She kept her pace steady, her senses alert.

Suddenly, a deep masculine voice rang out behind her.

"Laura, why do you choose to help that child of destruction?"

She froze for a moment, her heart skipping a beat. Slowly, she turned to face the speaker.

"Who are you?" she demanded, anger flashing in her eyes.

The man stood a few feet away, his face completely hidden behind a dark mask. The sight of the mask brought a cold smile to Laura’s face.

"Why are you hiding behind that thing?" she asked sharply. "Do you really expect me to answer any of your questions when you can’t even show your face? That’s cowardly."

The masked man didn’t flinch. His voice remained steady and threatening.

"Laura, I know your roots. You’re from the family of mind readers. You’re their most prized jewel. Tell me—how would it feel to lose your parents because of the path you’re choosing?"

The threat hit Laura hard. Her fists clenched, and her eyes narrowed with fury. She stepped closer to him, slowly but purposefully. When she was about a meter away, she stopped and stared him down.

"I’ll say this once," she said, her tone low and dangerous. "If a single strand of hair on either of my parents’ heads is touched... I won’t just come after you—I’ll make you watch as I erase everything connected to you. Your wife, your children, your entire bloodline. I don’t take threats lightly."

The man paused, clearly taken aback by her boldness.

"Well," he muttered after a moment, "this is a new side of you. I see you love your family deeply. If that’s the case, focus on protecting them and leave Maria to me. I hope this little chat settles things."

Laura’s eyes narrowed further. "And I’ll say this once too—stay away from Maria. The next time we meet, I won’t be this nice. I’ve already read you like a book.

Don’t act surprised. You tried to mask your thoughts, but you underestimated me. Now you’ll pay the price for it."

A small, confident smile spread across her face. The man stood speechless, stunned by her words and the power she clearly held.

He could only watch as she turned her back and walked away.

"How did she read my mind?" he muttered, shaken. "No mind listener has ever beaten my tricks... She must be truly powerful. Special."

His mind swirled with anger and uncertainty.

’I have to find a way to bring Maria down. And Laura too. I’ll get rid of them both. One way or another.’

With that, he turned in the opposite direction and disappeared into the woods.

Meanwhile, Laura continued walking, almost at the edge of the forest now. She was just about to reach the highway when she suddenly stopped, lost in thought.

Should I tell Maria what I know? Or stick to the plan?

Her eyes darted across the trees. Her expression showed hesitation, even confusion.

No... I can’t. My mission is to protect her, not overwhelm her. She’ll learn the truth when the time is right.

Just as she made up her mind and was about to move again, a familiar voice echoed behind her.

"Never let Maria know anything. Let time reveal things to her. When the time is right, she’ll know what to do. Don’t let your emotions guide your mission—follow the rules of your quest."

It was the leader of the Mind and Truth Listeners. As soon as she finished speaking, her form dissolved into white smoke and vanished into the air.

Laura bowed her head deeply. The message had been heard, and she would obey it.

The moment the leader disappeared, Laura pulled out her phone and dialed quickly.

"Ramsey," she said, her voice urgent. "Get the team. Meet me at our usual spot. We’ve got an assignment. It’s urgent. I’ll be there soon."

She ended the call and moved swiftly toward the road to catch a cab.

Elsewhere, Maria found herself trapped in another haunting dream.

She stood alone in a dark cave. The air was filled with the distant howls of werewolves—deep, guttural, and angry. It sounded like they were gathered in packs.

Curious and cautious, Maria moved closer to the source of the noise. When she was just a few meters away, she crouched behind a large rock and peeked through.

Bernard stood tall on a high hill. Below him, dozens of werewolves surrounded him, hanging on to his every word. His voice thundered with fury.

"We’ve been the strongest for over a century! We will not let a traitor ruin our legacy! That traitor must die! Only then can we cleanse the pain and destruction they’ve brought to our great pack!"

The crowd growled in agreement.

Bernard’s next words froze Maria in place.

"We’re going to hunt the traitor down. Wherever you find her—bring me her head. I want her dead or alive!"

Maria’s blood ran cold. Who were they talking about?

She scanned the crowd. They were all familiar faces—members of her pack. People she knew. She stood up slowly, stepping out from behind her cover.

But the moment one of them saw her, he pointed and shouted.

"There she is! The traitor! Let’s destroy her!"

Chaos erupted.

"No!" Maria cried, stumbling back. "I’m one of you! Don’t do this!"

But no one listened. Their eyes were wild with rage.

"You can’t be one of us!" Bernard roared. "You’re a traitor! Your blood will cleanse our altar!"

"Please! Let me go! Don’t kill me!" she screamed, running as fast as she could.

Fear gripped her like a vice. Her breath came in short gasps as she fled from the mob chasing her.

"Stop! I didn’t do anything wrong!" she cried, tears stinging her eyes.

Suddenly, she woke up.

Maria sat up in bed, heart pounding, sweat beading on her forehead. Her breathing was uneven. The dream had felt so real.

Her body trembled. She could still hear their voices. Still feel the fear in her chest.

"What’s happening to me?" she whispered, curling her knees to her chest. "Why do I keep having these dreams?"

She buried her face in her hands, overwhelmed.

"I need to talk to someone about this... I can’t keep going through this alone."

The confusion and terror were clear in her eyes as she stared at the wall, searching for answers in the silence of her
