Red Wolf Rising
Seventeen-year-old Accalia has spent her entire life being told she isn't good enough. Bullied at school, mistreated at work, and abused at home, she has learned to keep her head down and survive. Her only dream is to save enough money to leave and finally build a life of her own.
Then one night, everything changes.
After running into the forest to escape the people who have made her life miserable, Accalia wakes to discover something impossible. She can run faster than any human, hear things from miles away, and, most terrifying of all, she can turn into a wolf.
But Accalia doesn't even know werewolves exist.
Then she hears a voice inside her head.
Ruby.
Her wolf is strong, protective, and knows far more than she is willing to tell Accalia. As Accalia begins to discover a world she never knew existed, she starts to realise that her strange late transformation may not be an accident.
For the first time, Accalia feels powerful. She is no longer the frightened girl everyone thought they could push around.
As Accalia learns to control Ruby and understand who she really is, she is forced to leave the life she once dreamed of escaping and find her place in a world ruled by wolves, packs, and powerful Alphas.
Years later, the girl who once believed she was worthless has become someone no one could have imagined.
But returning to the world she left behind brings old faces back into her life, including the one person who was kind to her when she had nothing to give in return.
And not everyone is happy to see her again. The past she escaped has been waiting for her. This time, Accalia isn't running away, she's ready to face it.

Chapter: Shortcut.School dragged on like always, my body aching and bruised, but at least today hadn’t been a total disaster. The nurse’s sympathy had helped, even if it was fleeting.By the time I made it to the diner, I was tired in a way that made every step feel like wading through water. But my shift went surprisingly well.No tripping over trays, no broken glasses, and, most importantly, no sign of them. The popular kids from school that usually made my life miserable had apparently decided to leave me alone tonight.I somehow made it through the evening, keeping my head down, moving quietly and carefully, so as not to draw attention. For once, there was this tiny flicker of relief, like maybe, just maybe, I could get through one night without everything going wrong.On Mondays, the diner closed early. I was grabbing my backpack, ready to finally leave, when I froze.Out front, were the people I had dreaded seeing all night. The it crowd. They were laughing, leaning against their cars, and smirki

Chapter: Exposed.The rest of the weekend had blurred together. Sunday had been spent catching up on the chores I’d neglected after being away for most of Saturday. By Monday morning, I already felt like I needed another weekend.The alarm had gone off, and I’d slammed my hand on it without thinking, hating the sound more than usual. My whole body had ached; my head, my knees, my stomach, but I’d dragged myself out of bed anyway. Chores had come first, then a quick breakfast I’d barely managed to swallow before heading to school.I’d pulled my hat down low, hoping nobody would notice me. Maybe, just maybe, I’d thought, I could make it through the hallways without the staring, the whispering, the laughter. Just for once, I wanted to blend in.I'd made it to school minutes before the bell, and it proved to be too early. The second I stepped into the hallway, someone yanked the hat right off my head. Time stopped. Every single person turned toward me. My stomach dropped. Gasps, whispers, and snickers had

Chapter: Broken.The door slammed behind me with a bang that shook the walls. My father stood in the hallway, his jaw was clenched, and his eyes burning with anger. His silence was worse than yelling, but it didn’t last long.“Where were you?” He snapped.“I, I was at work. I just...”“Don’t lie to me!” He yelled. “You weren’t working. You were out with some boy, weren’t you? Whoring yourself out like the little tramp you are.”A shiver ran down my spine. “No! I wasn’t...”He stepped closer, towering over me, the smell of alcohol evident in his breath. “Don’t you dare talk back. After everything we do for you, is this how you repay us? You’ve made us late this morning. We had to make our own breakfast. Do you know how pathetic that is?”“I didn’t mean...”His hand shot out, striking me across the face so hard my head moved sideways. My cheek burned and stung.“You never mean to,” he spat. “Always, sorry. So unbelievably useless. You shame this family. You shame me.”I staggered back, but before I coul

Chapter: Panic.The howls came again; they sounded closer this time. My chest felt tight, and I froze in the middle of the path, my eyes darting to the shadows between the trees.It wasn’t just one. There had to be at least three that I could hear. Maybe more. Wolves, real wolves, out here, in the dark. They were probably hungry. Natural-born predators. And me? I was just a scared, human-sized snack. They would smell me, chase me, and tear me apart before I even had a chance to run.No. No, no, no.The next howl was so close I swore I felt it rattle my bones. That was it. I was out of here. So I ran, faster than I ever had.Branches slapped across my face as I ran through the woods, stinging as they cut my skin. I was panting heavily, struggling to catch my breath. But I didn’t care. I just had to keep moving.Behind me, I heard the padding of paws. My legs pushed harder and faster, but it wasn’t enough. I wasn’t fast enough. I knew I’d never be fast enough.The forest blurred around me, shadows and

Chapter: Diner Girl.Friday nights sucked. The diner was slammed, plates clattering, people yelling over each other, and the smell of grease sticking to my clothes like a second skin. I just kept my head down, trying to survive another shift. And then the door opened.Ah, it was them. Of course. Just my luck. The kids from school slid into a booth near the counter, laughing like they were the funniest people alive. My stomach dropped. Why tonight?“Hey, freak!” one of them called out, loud enough for the whole place to hear. “Come serve us, hurry up!”I tightened my grip on the tray, forcing a smile that felt like it was glued on. Just keep it together, I told myself. Get them their stupid drinks and walk away. So I walked over to their table, pen and pad ready, trying not to notice the way their eyes followed me. The guys were already snickering under their breath, leaning back like they owned the place.“So,” I said, clearing my throat. “What’ll it be tonight?”One of them dragged his gaze slowly over m
