The day after Emil's marriage proposal, Nessa wakes up from the same dream that has been haunting her as her 21st birthday nears. She is also shocked to find herself covered with mud and asks her mother for an explanation. But what takes her aback more was the sight of the dead poultry in their backyard. Her mom could only burst into tears upon looking at her. Savannah then reveals to Nessa the tale of her father Lorenzo, who has inherited the curse of his family. Thinking that his twin sister Eleanor was the only one who got the wolf curse when they turned 21, Lorenzo was unprepared when he suddenly turned into a beast years after and accidentally killed a human being. His parents, protectors of the wolf clan "Waya" sentenced their own son to death because of this unfortunate incident. Eleanor tried to help her twin but it was too late. Lorenzo then confesses that he has a family. By then, Savannah with Clara and Nessa were on their way to San Adolfo to start a new life. Nessa panics with the truth and hastily meets with Emil to break off their engagement. She rushes back home to tell her mother the sad news but as the symptoms of her 'transformation' become stronger, Nessa accidentally kills Savannah. Her half-sister Clara blames her for their mother's sudden demise. Nessa flees with Emil hot on her heels. However as he tries to persuade Nessa to marry him, she changes into a white wolf. Surprised, Emil runs away from her.
