The weeks that had passed allowed Jaxon and Eve to acclimate to their new environment. In the midst of this peaceful scene, Patrick and Eve, neighbors sharing a connection beyond proximity, shared a moment of quiet joy surrounded by the gentle sounds of nature. While Jaxon embarked on his first lesson with Marc, the bond between Patrick and Eve, nestled in their tranquil surroundings, added an extra layer of warmth to their new life.

The two of them, Patrick and Eve, seated side by side, immersed themselves in the natural beauty that enveloped them. The admiration in Eve's eyes was a tribute not only to the surroundings but also to the man beside her.

"I hear the students mention a name, Marcus. Who is this person?" Eve asked, breaking the tranquil silence. Patrick took a deep breath, his gaze turning slightly stern as he delved into memories.

Twenty years ago, when I arrived at the school, Marcus was already here," he said with a voice laden with gravity. "A powerful, intelligent man, but with a hot and aggressive temperament, he was a werewolf, a lycanthrope. Marc brought him to the school to channel his extraordinary potential. But he struggled to control his violent animal side." Eve could feel the tension in Patrick's words as he continued to reveal Marcus's troubled history. "One day, an altercation with another student escalated, and Marcus lost control. He hit the other student with such force that it proved fatal. The rules are very clear, no violence among us, so Marc had to expel him from the school, always keeping a vigilant eye on him."

As Eve absorbed these revelations, a gentle breeze caressed the leaves of the surrounding trees, adding a touch of melancholy to Marcus's troubled story. Sunlight played through the branches, creating a dance of shadows and light that seemed to reflect the complex nuances of this dark past. The silence between Patrick and Eve was imbued with the gravity of the tale, and nature itself appeared to react to the echoes of an ancient drama.

Eve looks at Patrick with a glimmer of concern in her eyes, "Are the people who attacked us connected to him?"

Patrick gazes at the horizon with a mix of seriousness and contemplation. "It's possible. Marcus has always been a controversial figure, and his past alliances could still influence events today. We must remain vigilant and ready to face whatever may come." A shiver runs through the air, as if echoes from the past resonate in the present, creating an atmosphere of tense suspense.

The shadows of the past seemed to dance, but Patrick, breaking away from the darkness, suggested an escape to the beauty of the present. "Enough of this negativity, would you like to take a walk?" Patrick asked. "We have a beautiful, tranquil lake." Eve's smile, though carrying questions, accepted the invitation to explore a corner of nature where peace seemed to reside.

As they strolled towards the serene lake, the gentle rustling of leaves and the distant calls of birds created a soothing symphony. The path, dappled with the golden hues of sunlight filtering through the trees, led them to the water's edge. The air was filled with the subtle fragrance of nature, a calming backdrop to their thoughts and conversations. The rippling reflections on the lake mirrored the tranquility that Patrick and Eve sought in the midst of uncertainty.

The door to the "Learning Center" opened with a gentle anticipation, revealing a room illuminated by the soft glow of computer screens. The space was adorned with walls in a neutral hue, enhancing the serene atmosphere. Aligned screens presented a symphony of pixels, each monitor a gateway to infinite knowledge.
