The clink of chains echoed in the dungeon as Professor Blackthorn unlocked my restraints. My wrists throbbed where the iron had bitten into them, and every muscle in my body screamed in protest as I straightened.

“You’ll be returning to your classes,” Blackthorn said, his voice flat and devoid of sympathy. “The Headmistress and I believe it’s important to maintain normalcy.”

I nodded stiffly, my throat dry and raw. “And what’s the catch?” I rasped.

Blackthorn’s lips twitched into the faintest semblance of a smirk, but it didn’t reach his eyes. “The catch is that every step you take will be under scrutiny. You’ve drawn too much attention, and the last thing we need is for you to spiral again. Consider this... probation.”

I glanced at the enchanted markings on the walls, their faint glow reminding me of the hours I’d spent raging against them, trying to fight the wolf within. “What if it happens again?” I asked, my voice barely above a whisper.

“Then it won’t be up to me or the Headmist

    The grand dining hall was alive with the usual morning bustle of students chattering and utensils clinking against plates. Long wooden tables stretched across the room, and a warm glow from the enchanted chandeliers overhead softened the chilly autumn air seeping through the stone walls. Yet, for Sara, William, Sean, and Kira, the lively atmosphere did little to quell the worry gnawing at their thoughts.Sara poked at her plate of eggs absently, her eyes flitting to the doorway every few seconds. “He still hasn’t shown up,” she murmured, her voice barely audible over the din.William, sitting across from her, glanced at the door as well, his expression grim. “I don’t get it. If he came back last night, someone would’ve seen him. Right?”Sean, leaning back in his chair, crossed his arms. “Maybe he’s hiding out. Can you blame him after... everything?”Kira, sitting at the edge of the group, remained quiet. Her usually confident demeanor was overshadowed by a pensive frown. She had over

    The iron bound door groaned as Katherine Vincent pushed it open, the chill of the dungeon rushing out to meet her like a physical force. She descended the narrow stone staircase with steady, measured steps, her cloak trailing behind her. The dim glow of torches illuminated the jagged stone walls, casting erratic shadows that seemed to shift with the flicker of the flames.Professor Blackthorn waited at the bottom, his broad frame silhouetted against the faint blue glow emanating from the cell at the far end of the corridor. His arms were crossed, his jaw set tight, and there was a storm in his eyes, a reflection of the turmoil gripping both their minds.“Headmistress,” he greeted her curtly, stepping aside as she reached the dungeon floor. His voice was low, but the tension in it was unmistakable. “He’s… stable for now. Barely.”Vincent nodded, her gaze fixed on the faint outline of Alex in the cell ahead. The runes etched into the walls pulsed faintly, their power a hum that resonat

    The tension in the castle hallways was thick, nearly suffocating. William paced nervously in front of the Headmistress’s office, his hands running through his disheveled hair.Sara sat on one of the ornate chairs lining the wall, her face pale, her eyes distant as if she were reliving the harrowing events in the forest. Sean leaned against the wall, arms crossed, his jaw tight with frustration. Kira, who had remained unusually quiet, paced slowly, her tail twitching in agitation as she tried to suppress the anxiety building inside her.“Do you think he’ll be okay?” Sara finally whispered, her voice barely audible.William stopped pacing, turning to her with a grim expression. “I don’t know,” he admitted. “I’ve never seen anything like that before. He wasn’t supposed to... change.”Sean huffed, shaking his head. “Change? He didn’t just change. He snapped. Lost control.” He jabbed a finger toward the office door. “And now we’re here, waiting to get grilled, while Alex is out there”“Eno

    The growl still echoed in my ears, even as my body trembled with exhaustion. The beast had receded, leaving behind a deep ache in my bones and a strange awareness I couldn’t shake. I barely registered William and Sara’s frantic whispers beside me, my mind consumed by the realization of what had just happened.But the moment of eerie calm didn’t last long.The silver she wolf snarled again, stepping forward cautiously, her piercing eyes locked onto mine. Her movements were deliberate, testing, as if waiting for me to falter. Behind her, the pack stirred restlessly, their postures rigid with anticipation.I could feel their instincts clawing at the edges of my own danger, dominance, a challenge unspoken but deeply understood. My heart pounded, the beast inside me stirring once more, whispering promises of strength and power.And then, like a thunderclap breaking the tension, a voice boomed through the trees.“Stand down!”The sound wasn’t particularly loud, but it carried a weight that

    I blink, my eyes struggling to adjust to the eerie moonlight filtering through the trees. My chest rises and falls heavily, like I’ve been running for miles, my lungs burning with every shallow breath. The cool night air bites at my skin, but it does little to ease the strange heat that surges beneath it. I try to take a step, but my body feels... different. Strange. Alien. Like I’m not entirely in control anymore.My limbs feel stiff, too long, too heavy, and the ground beneath me shifts, as if it’s moving with its own will. I blink again, harder this time, trying to focus, but the world spins around me, the edges of reality blurring like smoke.A harsh sound breaks through the fog in my head, like a screeching metal, but I can’t place it. Everything is off too fast, too sharp, too... wild. I hear Sara’s soft breathing beside me, and William’s frantic voice calling out my name, but they seem distant faint echoes, as if they’re miles away.And then... I feel it.A cold, electric pul
