Lucas couldn’t take the heat anymore. He backed away from Alina as if stung by a bee, his breath coming out in uneven gasps. For a moment, the space between them felt dangerous. Her scent was intoxicating, Not just human… something more. Something wild and forbidden. It wrapped around his senses like a drug, and he’d almost given in. His wolf side had surged forward, desperate to claim her. But he couldn’t. Not now. He turned his back to her and ran a shaky hand through his hair, trying to steady the storm inside him. “I’m sorry,” he muttered, his voice low and rough. “I didn’t mean to get too close.” Alina stared at him, her heart thudding in her chest. Her own body was reacting in ways she didn’t fully understand. Her breath had quickened, her hands trembling slightly at her sides. What just happened between them? “Lucas?” she whispered, her voice uncertain. “What’s going on? Why do you always pull away when I’m near?” He didn’t answer at first. The silence stretc

The teacher, Mr. Horace, raised an eyebrow as she entered. “Miss Jade Welcome back.” Alina gave a tight smile. “Thanks.” She could feel the eyes. People watching her every move, Her seat by the window was still vacant. She slid into it, glancing toward the hallway to see Lucas standing just outside the glass door. When her pen touched the paper, her hand trembled. Suddenly, her skin prickled. She turned toward the far corner of the class a new student, someone she didn’t recognize, sat near the back, face shadowed under a dark hoodie. He didn’t look away when she caught his gaze. His eyes were too pale. Almost silver. Her heart skipped. She quickly looked away, struggling to calm her breathing. Mr. Horace began the lecture, but his voice sounded distant. Something wasn’t right. Lucas, from his spot at the door, noticed the shift in her body language immediately. His gaze followed hers… and landed on the same boy. And then Lucas’s whole posture changed. He was s

Alina jerked back suddenly from Lucas’s embrace, gasping for air like she had just surfaced from underwater. Her eyes were wide and haunted. “Alina?” Lucas called, gently holding her shoulders. “What’s wrong?” She clutched her chest, Her skin felt too hot, too tight as if something ancient had stirred beneath it. “I… I saw him,” she whispered. “My father.” Marie, who had just returned with a cloth and bowl of warm water, froze. Her eyes darted toward Lucas. Lucas stiffened. “You… saw Jade?” Alina nodded slowly, her face pale and full of awe. “He was standing at the edge of a cliff… talking about me. He said I would change everything.” Marie’s eyes welled with tears, her hand trembling as she sat beside her daughter. “It wasn’t a dream, was it?” “No,” Alina whispered. “It felt real. Like… like he was speaking through my blood.” Lucas exhaled deeply and leaned against the wall, his expression unreadable. “That means the connection is awakening.” Alina looked at hi

Lucas stumbled toward the cabin, blood dripping from his hands and staining the dry leaves beneath his boots. His clothes were torn and soaked with both sweat and blood. Elwin had been stronger than expected, fiercer than before. From the cabin porch, Alina spotted him through the trees. "Lucas!" she screamed. Without thinking, she let go of her mother’s hand and bolted across the yard, her hair whipping across her face. The sight of him barely standing was too much to bear, Her heart ached with guilt and fear. Lucas’s knees buckled the moment he saw her. He collapsed, catching himself on one elbow. "No, Alina get back inside. It’s dangerous," he said, his voice barely more than a whisper. Tears streamed down her cheeks as she knelt beside him. “How long will you keep telling me that?” she cried. “I’ve heard it my whole life. And now, you’re badly hurt because of me!” "Alina!" Marie shouted as she ran up behind her. “Get inside now!” But Alina didn’t move. She turned to her

The sounds outside the woods were growing louder and more violent. The wind howled like a wounded beast, whipping through the trees and rattling the branches against each other like bones. Leaves danced in spirals of panic. The night sky had darkened to a deep charcoal, the moon nearly swallowed by rolling clouds. Marie ran down the dirt path, her shawl flying behind her like a broken wing. Her boots pounded against the soft ground, her breath coming in short. She could hear it now, the growls, Heavy thuds. The unmistakable snap of bone or wood. Something was fighting in those woods. Something terrible. She reached the front steps of the cabin and stumbled against the door. It didn’t budge. She pushed again harder. Still nothing. She couldn't bear it any longer “No… no, not now…” She slammed her fists against the wood. “Alina! Alina!” The door remained unmoved. It felt... held. Like something or someone was keeping it shut from the inside. Her throat tighten

Alina felt the shift in the air before she even heard his steps. She smiled faintly, already sensing his presence before he spoke. She turned abruptly, her loose curls bouncing as she faced him. "You wasted time," she said, her voice tinged with mock annoyance. Lucas stood silently beneath the moon’s glow, his pale eyes locked on hers. Still, he said nothing. Alina crossed her arms. “I’ve been meaning to ask,” she began again, her tone shifting to something more serious. “You said I’m not allowed in the woods… fine. But what about school? Am I supposed to grow up locked away in this village, illiterate and invisible?” Lucas stepped forward slightly. “This is about your safety, Alina.” he said at last, his voice low and controlled. “Out there it’s not just humans and traffic. It’s shadows that wear faces. Dangers you can’t yet understand.” Alina’s expression hardened. “So I should stay locked up my whole life?” Her voice cracked with emotion. “Is that what I am
