Yezekael was already awake at 4 AM.

He was stretching on the track at East River Park, jogging a few laps around to warm up, and stretching by the bleachers. They have a semifinal match later today for the NYC Rugby Cup, a tournament for rugby teams all over New York. They made it to the semifinals and Kael had no plans to stop there. For the four consecutive years he’d been captain, they always came home with a trophy.

By 8 AM, he did a roll call on their reserved field, and they were practicing in no time.

The NYU Rugby team used to be a forgotten team. He had been a rugby player before entering NYU, so he was dead set on joining the rugby team. His performance shone through and with his friends, they rebuilt the rugby team. And with his departure in a few years coming fast, he must train his juniors to ensure their team’s longevity.

After the practice match, he huddled the team together. They were all drowning in sweat, heaving, and obviously tired, but they were all ears for what

    “If you want her, just say so.”Jonathan teased as soon as they entered their car. The rest snorted, more openly now.Mark quietly starts the engine and drives them to the field where the match will occur. This year, Columbia University is the host of this rugby union and so they had the home-field advantage. But it didn’t matter. They will win regardless of advantage.“She’s interesting,” was all Kael could say. “Don’t you think so?”“Sure, man. Whatever you say.”Kael looked out the window, the boys noisy and rowdy behind him as he sat on the shotgun. His fingers mindlessly fiddle with his lips.“She’s hiding something. I am almost sure of it.” Mark suddenly blurts out after a few minutes.“How so?”“It’s my first time meeting her, so I don’t know for sure. But she’s too composed and too controlled. She’s careful and tries hard to look… normal.” He glances at Kael at a stoplight. “So, sure, she is interesting.”Mark is the observant type. He’s quiet, but know he’s always watching. I

    Just this year, the Institute confirmed that her wolf had weakened.They did a test after observing her shortly, and they saw her wolf’s power weakened. They never found out why. Anna also never discovered why, or how, her wolf weakened. But she was the first to feel it then. Back when she was young, she could hear her wolf’s voice. She could talk to it. But after some time, that voice gradually disappeared. And she felt when her spirit would dim—it meant her wolf was struggling inside.She never knew why.But until now, it is one of Anna’s biggest secrets.The Institute’s top agent is growing weaker.If this accidentally gets out and their enemies catch wind of this, they will definitely not sit still. That’s why she’s very sensitive and insecure about this topic.

    Anna looked down and found her feet buried knee-deep in snow. She looks around to see herself in the middle of a snowy taiga, the full moon at its peak and illuminating the dark forest.“Where am I?” she whispers to herself.It took much effort to move her feet and traverse the deep snow. As she walked around, she felt uncomfortable with the eerie silence. There was no noise at all.Still, she kept going.Anna arrives at a small clearing, where the shine of the full moon rests on an array of large rocks. She approaches the rocks for no clear reason and finds a wolf on the ground. Whimpering. Breathing weakly.Its black fur looked as if it absorbed all the light of the moon, but not its energy. It looked almost lifeless.Anna kneels to the wolf. It was breathing shallowly. It was huge but looked so small and weak.“Are you okay?” she asks and tries to caress it, but the wolf weakly opens its eyes and they meet gazes.She saw herself.Anna stumbles back and the world darkens.She sharpl

    They say to keep your friends close, but your foes closer.Since it’s difficult to distinguish her enigmatic thesis partner, Anna thought to keep him very close, regardless of what he’ll turn out to be.Thus, they spend the next few days together, working on the thesis. She did not know if she could call it quality time, since there were barely any words unrelated to the thesis that were uttered to each other, but nevertheless, they spent long hours of the day in each other’s company. That was good enough.Anna used it to study their research topic, which was duly approved by their professor, even giving them a compliment that said: ‘Interesting. I am looking forward to the outcome of your study.’ Which is no pressure at all.“I have bad news.”Max came in one day, his laptop in his arms and his hair a little bit messier than yesterday. His expression was not so good. He sat in front of Anna with a frown.“Our respondents canceled.”And he had all the right to be problematic. That was

    “I think we’ve got a pretty chill mission this time,” said Rica as they sat next to each other on the couch, sharing a tub of ice cream, and watching the nth episode of some mystery crime series they found on Netflix.They were both in their pyjamas, as it was a weekend, and their faces were unrecognizable with the animal-patterned facial masks occupying their entire face. Rica’s hair was additionally curled around heatless curlers.“Right?”“Mhmm.” Anna unintelligibly hums in agreement, her mouth full of ice cream, her eyes glued to the screen. “That murderer’s quite intelligent,” she comments, her attention focused on the show.“As long as he hides the body correctly, he could be hired as part of the Ministry’s clean-up department.” Her friend beside her agrees, her attention smoothly shifting from one topic to another. “Ah! By the way, do you know Mika, my partner?”“Who?”“Mika, my partner in the thesis.”“Ah. What about her?”Their eyes remain on the TV as they conversed, easily
