Raven’s POVI felt relieved when I noticed it was a student, my heart skipped thinking it was Axel.I shouldn’t be here.I had snuck out, unable to sleep, my thoughts spinning with Axel, Ethan, and the chaos of the past few days. The library felt quiet and safe, a haven from all the prying eyes of Ridgeway, but now, even here, I was uneasy.I tiptoed between the shelves, holding a book to my chest, then a voice behind me cut through the silence.“You shouldn’t be here.”My book slipped in my hands. Luca. He leaned against the shelf, watching me like he’d been waiting.“Neither should you,” I said, hugging the book.“Fair enough.” He stepped closer, eyes narrowing. “Funny how you always end up where you’re not supposed to be.”My pulse kicked. “I couldn’t sleep. Midnight’s quiet.”“Or you’re hiding.”I forced a laugh. “Or I like books.”He tilted his head, gaze sharp. “Books don’t explain the cracks you leave behind.”My stomach clenched. “What cracks?”“You’ll tell me one day,” he mu

Raven’s POVThe whistle shrieked, cutting through the rink.Coach Martin shouted something about hustle, but all I felt were eyes. Everyone was staring at me like I was suspicious, including my new teammates.“She’s not one of us, I overheard it” a boy muttered near the back. His tone was filled with contempt, and a ripple of agreement followed.Heat rushed through me. They couldn’t know what I was. But I wasn’t Ridgeway-born, and every wolf here could smell it.“Transfers are supposed to be from the Ridgeway packs,” another boy said, loudly. “She doesn’t belong.”The ice felt thinner beneath my skates, like it might crack under me.Before I could fire back, someone stood in front of me, shielding me. Ethan.He stood between me and the rest, shoulders broad, and sharpened look. “Back off.”“Why?” someone challenged.“Because she has every right to be here,” Ethan said, with a hard voice. “My father brought her for me.”And there was silence instantly, making my stomach tightened. I d

Raven’s POVMy throat locked tight. “What are you doing here?”“What do you think?” Axel pushed off the wall. “You left me, and I came to remind you that it was a mistake.”“Stay away from me,” I snapped, though my voice didn’t sound as strong as I wanted.“You’re mine, Raven. Running doesn’t change that.”My fingers curled into fists. “I’m not yours. Not anymore.”He leaned closer, “We’ll see about that. Ridgeway needed a new assistant coach. And I got the job. Which means…” His smile was cold and victorious like he had won a trophy. “You’ll be seeing a lot of me.”“How did you even get in? You’re not from the Ridgeway clan.” I felt sick to my stomach.Axel only gave a dangerous smile, but before he could answer, another voice cut in.“Is there a problem here?”I turned to see a tall man with a whistle around his neck.Axel straightened instantly, “No problem at all, Coach Martin. Just catching up with an old friend. She’s quite the athlete, you know.”My eyes widened. “No, I—”“Don’

Raven’s POVI woke up to the sound of a pen tapping against paper and a dull ache in my head. The room was so bright I winced before my eyes adjusted. I sat up too fast and it felt like the room was spinning.“Don’t. You need to lie down.”The voice came from the corner. I turned my head. The blond boy from the crash sat in a chair, long legs stretched out, a notebook balanced on his knee. His Ridgeway hockey jacket was still on.“You again,” I muttered.“Me again,” he said. He set his pen down and leaned forward, elbows on his knees. “You passed out and I brought you here. You’ve been out for a few hours.”I rubbed my face. “Where’s here?”“Ridgeway campus infirmary.”I shoved the blanket aside and swung my legs to the floor. “I need my bike.”“Your bike’s wrecked.” His tone was calm, but his blue eyes pinned me in place. “I’ve got a mechanic looking at it.”“I’m not worried.” I stood anyway.He tilted his head, studying me. “That’s a lot of confidence. But you still haven’t told me

Raven’s POV“Don’t look back.”I muttered the words to myself as I leaned low over the handlebars of my motorbike. My fingers ached from holding the throttle too tight, but I didn’t loosen them.There was a snowstorm that blurred the road ahead and the last thing I wanted was to let myself get caught in it. I knew who was chasing after me and I didn't turn to check the mirror.A wolf’s howl cut through the storm and it was getting closer. Even with my bike, there was no guarantee I could outrun a wolf.My stomach tightened as I shifted gears. The back tire slid a little over the frozen pavement. My long black hair whipped across my cheeks under the helmet.“Raven, stop right now.” I pressed my lips together and kept my eyes trained on the road. I could hear his voice in my head. Axel, my ex and also the man who I was running away from was catching up to me.I’d always believed I was human until the night Axel bit me and awakened my wolf, and not out of love. He bit me during what se
