ernatural community, and it was only a matter of time before the wolves discovered the truth. Mr. Haven called for an urgent meeting with the other senior members of their vampire c

you have my word that we'll do everything we can to keep your daughter safe. We'll be vigilant and discreet, and we won't take any unnecessary risks." Dylan: "That's right. We'll keep a low profile and monitor the wolves from a safe distance. We won't engage unless it's absolutely necessary." Mr. Haven: "I understand. Thank you for taking this seriously. Just please, keep me in the loop about any developments. I want to know what's going on." Mr. Murdoch: "Of course, Mr. Haven. We'll keep you informed every step of the way." As the council meeting comes to a close, Mr. Murdoch calls Mr. Haven aside to speak with him privately. "Mr. Haven, may I have a word with you?" Mr. Murdoch asks in a serious tone. "Of course, Mr. Murdoch. What is it you wish to discuss?" Mr. Haven responds. "I wanted to ask if your daughter, Zoe, is aware of her true nature as a vampire," Mr. Murdoch says. Mr. Haven hesitates for a moment before responding. "No, she isn't. My wife and I decided to keep her in the dark to protect her." "I see," Mr. Murdoch says, nodding his head. "I would advise you to keep her away from the forest and any wolves that may reside there. They may be able to sense her true nature, and it could put her in danger." "I understand," Mr. Haven says, looking concerned. "Thank you for your warning." "Of course, Mr. Haven," Mr. Murdoch responds. "We must do everything in our power to keep our kind safe." As Mr. Haven makes his way out of the meeting room, he can't help but worry about what may happen if Zoe discovers the truth about herself and the danger that may be lurking in the forest. Moments thereafter, while everybody is chatting and ready to go home, there is a report on the local radio station of a fisherman being attacked by a vicious wolf. The members of the council hurriedly made their way to the lake where the wolf attack had occurred. As they arrived, they saw a gruesome sight - the fisherman's body was severely mauled, with deep claw marks and bite wounds all over his body. The council members looked at each other, concerned and troubled. Mr. Murdoch, the head of the council, stepped forward and addressed the members. "This is getting out of hand," he said, "We can't allow these wolves to terrorize our community. We need to take action and put an end to this once and for all." The other members nodded in agreement, and Mr. North, one of the council members, spoke up. "We need to increase our patrols and keep a watchful eye on the forest. If we catch these wolves in the act, we can take them down and make sure they never come back." Mr. Haven, who was also present, spoke up. "But what about Zoe? She's been asking a lot of questions about the forest and the wolves. We need to keep her safe." Mr. Murdoch turned to him and nodded. "I understand your concerns, Mr. Haven. We'll make sure to keep a close eye on her and ensure she doesn't come into harm's way." Just then, Mr. North interrupted, "Sir, we've found something." He held up a torn piece of clothing, covered in blood. "This belongs to one of the wolves. They're getting bolder and more aggressive by the day." The council members looked at each other, worried about what this could mean for their community. They knew that they needed to act quickly before the situation got even worse. Mr. Haven quickly made his way back to his house, anxious to inform his wife about the recent wolf attack near the lake. As soon as he walked in the door, he called out to her. "Emma, we have a problem," he said, his voice low and urgent. Emma came rushing into the room, her eyes wide with concern. "What happened? Is everything alright?" she asked. "No, it's not alright. There was a wolf attack near the lake. One of the fishermen was attacked," he said
