Every fiber of my being screamed to obey, to reveal myself and confront the leader, but caution held me back. I slid silently out of hiding, allowing the light to reveal my presence. I faced Alastair, saying not a word, merely watching him with eyes that held a mixture of determination and fear.
I was in the room, nervous and apprehensive, feeling Alastair's scent getting closer with each passing second. Hunter was downstairs, trying to wake up the other wolves, and the commotion quickly spread throughout the cabin.Caleb emerged from the next room, visibly confused, and asked Hunter the reason for all the shouting.
The next day dawned, and I was eager to resume our morning routine. As werewolves, Hunter and I used to meet near the river every morning. It was our special time when we shared secrets and stories, and I was determined to discuss what had happened the previous night.

The question echoed in the silence of the room, and for a moment, I hesitated.“Are you in love with Hunter?” Zora's question reverberated in the small space, filling it with an intensity that made my heart race
