Chapter 7.Camryn.I woke up in a panic.The sun was high, light pouring through the curtains like it had no mercy. I scrambled to sit up, my heart pounding. I reached for my phone.10:03 AM. My class started at 9.“Shit.”I jumped out of bed, yanking on a hoodie over my tank top and slipping into my skirt in record time. I spun around, expecting Heather to be there, maybe studying or maybe looking smug.But her bed was made.She was gone“Seriously?” I muttered, grabbing my bag and rushing out of the dorm like it was on fire.By the time I made it to the classroom, I was sweating and flustered. The class was nearly half over. Everyone looked up when I pushed open the door.The teacher, a grumpy old werewolf with a graying beard and a permanent frown, paused mid-sentence.“Miss Hart,” he said coldly. “So glad you could join us.”“I’m....I overslept,” I

Chapter 6Camryn All weekend, I couldn’t stop thinking about what Kian said.“They’re coming for you.”His words echoed in my head on a loop, like a haunting whisper I couldn’t shut off. The way he had said it, so serious, so certain, it made my skin crawl and my thoughts spin. I barely slept. Every time I closed my eyes, I’d see his face and those strange, almost glowing eyes. What did he mean? Who was “they”? I hated not knowing. It made me feel like something was hanging over my head, something big and dark and dangerous.By Monday morning, I’d made up my mind.I was going to confront him and get answers.I walked into class a few minutes early, my eyes immediately scanning the room. And there he was, Kian. Sitting a few rows ahead, like nothing was bothering him. Like he hadn’t dropped a giant mystery into my lap and then vanished.I sat down, trying to act normal, but my heart was racing. I couldn’t focus. My eyes kept drifting back to him, studying the way he sat with that ca

Chapter 5.Camryn.It was dark. The trees were tall and thick around me. My feet pounded against the forest floor as I ran, breathless. I didn’t know where I was going. I didn’t even know why I was running, only that something was behind me.Something fast.Something dangerous.Branches scratched at my arms and face but I didn’t stop. My heart was racing, chest burning. The sound of footsteps or paws, crunched loudly behind me.Then I tripped.I hit the ground hard, rolling onto my side. I scrambled to get up but before I could...I woke up.Gasping, I sat straight up in bed. My sheets were soaked with sweat and my hair clung to my forehead. My hands trembled as I looked around the dark room.Just a nightmare.Just a dream.Heather groaned from the other side of the room. “Seriously? I’m trying to sleep.”“Sorry,” I whispered, my voice still shaky.She rolled over and didn’t say anything else. I didn’t blame her, I wouldn’t want to be woken up either. But I couldn’t shake the feeling

Chapter 4. Camryn.As I got dressed for school, my eyes caught the faint red scar on my stomach in the mirror. I stepped closer and ran my fingers over it. I still had no memory of getting it. I stared at it for a moment longer, I tried pushing away the thoughts.It’s just a scar, I told myself. I didn’t want to pay much attention to it.I pulled on my uniform, smoothed my skirt and let my brown hair fall freely over my shoulders.Another day at wolf school. Great.It was Friday and thankfully, even at a school full of werewolves, Fridays were still lighter than the rest of the week. Just a few classes.Once the final bell rang, I grabbed my bag and made my way toward the library.The library was tucked away at the back of the school. The tall wooden doors creaked as I pushed them open. Inside, the place smelled like dust, old leather and something earthy. The shelves stretched to the ceiling, filled with books that looked like they hadn’t been touched in years.I walked slowly betwe

Chapter 3.Camryn.We’d been waiting for over an hour, sitting on the cold gym floor while the clock ticked away. Some of the other new students were chatting quietly, a few were stretching but I just sat there, arms crossed, growing more annoyed by the second. This physical training class was supposed to start ages ago. Just when I was about to get up and leave, the double doors swung open.And Jax walked in.He didn’t say a word at first. He didn’t have to. His presence alone demanded attention. Tall, broad-shouldered, dressed in a black singlet and gym shorts, he walked like someone used to being in charge. Every movement was confident and powerful. The air in the room shifted.“Alright,” he finally said, his voice deep and clear. “I’m Jax. I’ll be your instructor for today.”A couple of girls near me sat up straighter, some even giggled.“So,” he continued, looking around, “everyone find a partner.”Everyone scrambled to pair up. People moved quickly, as if their lives depended

Chapter 2.Camryn.I woke up to the loud sound of Heather's blow dryer.I groaned as, I pulled a pillow over my head. "Can you turn that down?"Heather didn’t even look at me. “We have class in thirty minutes,” she said, casually styling her already perfect hair in front of the mirror. She was fully dressed in the academy uniform flawlessly, of course. A red pleated skirt, a crisp white shirt and a red-and-grey striped vest that somehow looked like it was made just for her.I sat up, still half-asleep“Uniform’s in the closet" Heather said, applying a thick layer of lip gloss. “Try not to embarrass yourself.”And with that, she grabbed her bag, tossed her sleek ponytail over her shoulder and walked out.I sighed.Dragging myself out of bed, I went to the closet and pulled out my own uniform. It looked exactly the same but on me… it didn’t feel right. The skirt was too short, the vest clung too tightly and the shirt itched in all the wrong places. I ran a hand through my brown hair and
