Chapter 106. Past Legends
"They are the ancient werewolves who died long ago. Some of them didn’t die at their destined time. Their deaths were untimely, and they’ve always believed they had unfinished business in this world," Hadizah explained, her voice cold and her fear still evident.
"I still don’t understand. How did they return? Did they come back in their original bodies and faces?" Laura asked, leaning forward, eager to understand.
"No, they can never return in their former bodies," Mrs. Spencer answered, her voice firm and her gaze locked on Laura. "They now possess the bodies of other people and operate through them."
Laura sat back, processing what she had just heard. "We need to do something quickly. This can’t be allowed to continue. Has anyone found out anything concerning Maria’s safety?" Hadizah asked as she shifted her focus to Laura.
"Yes, ma’am. That’s why I came early today," Laura said, her voice steady but laced with concern. "Maria is fine for now. I checked on her yesterday, and thankfully, no strange spirits have entered her body yet."
Hadizah let out a breath but still looked troubled. "What do we do now? Why have these old legends come back?"
"In the past," Hadizah began, her voice soft but serious, "there was a great war among the werewolf parks and clans. Many lives were lost, and some of these werewolves still believe they left this world with unfinished business. What those unfinished matters are, we do not know."
Mrs. Spencer nodded slowly.
"We must send them back to where they came from and close that path permanently. But doing that will require a power far greater than ours. Fighting the souls of the dead is dangerous—we might not survive without the right help."
