My heart tightened in anticipation.
It was just as I had suspected.
Eager to know more, I pressed on, âAre the two worlds merging?â
Andrewâs smile was tinged with bitterness.
âYouâve noticed as well, havenât you?â
I nodded.
Seeing that his expression remained open, I ventured further.
âSince the rift expanded, it seems the merging of the two worlds is becoming increasingly apparent.
I suspect that when it fully opens, the worlds might completely fuse.
â
Andrew raised his eyebrows in surprise.
As he looked at me, admiration flickered in his eyes.
âDebra, you are quite perceptive.
We spent two hours in a meeting, and our conclusions align closely with your speculation.

I modestly dismissed the praise.
âNo, Mr.
Pierce, you flatter me.
It was just an observation.
With such a visible rift, the conclusions seem straightforward.
Surely your team has reached similar insights.
â
Without pausing for further accolades, I continued, âWith all your research, what can you tell me about the other world?â
Andrew was forthright.
âHonestly, for safety reasons, we havenât sent anyone to explore the other world.
â
âUnderstood, I responded, masking my disappointment.
â
I had secretly accepted that I originated from the other world and was deeply curious about its nature, especially after the vivid dreams Iâd experienced.
If even Andrew, with all his resources, had no details, then who would?
âHowever, our findings indicate that the vampires have ventured into the other world.
Theyâve even encountered werewolves, suggesting a significant presence of them there,â Andrew added.
Debraâs POV:
Were vampires hunting werewolves?
Suddenly, I recalled a dream from a few days ago.
In the dream, a man confronted a vampire, appearing to be in a partial werewolf state-a genuine werewolf.
Anxiety overwhelmed me as I recalled the dream concluding with the vampire charging at the man.
I wondered if he would be harmed.
Pushing aside my unease, I turned to Andrew and inquired, âMr.
Pierce, are vampires exceptionally powerful? Do werewolves stand a chance against them?â
My words rushed out, mirroring my increasing panic.
âI remember you mentioning werewolves earlier when you introduced me to this world, saying they werenât particularly powerful.
â
After a moment of silence, Andrew replied, âI did mention that, but itâs based on historical accounts.
The records of witchesâ history indicate that werewolves have inferior combat skills compared to witches and vampires, which is a major reason why werewolves nearly went extinct as vampire prey.
â
I clenched my hands tightly.
âSo, thatâs why I couldnât overcome a vampire and ended up badly hurt?â
