HAYLEY

A thick curtain of snow forms on the windshield of my Dad's car as we drive home. The wipers work furiously, sweeping mounds of ice away from the glass—only for more snow to take its place.

My Dad though, doesn't seem to care any bit for the snow as he belts out the lyrics to an old song playing on the stereo. “When our love was new, and each kiss an inspiration—”

“Oh, God. Dad, please stop singing,” I chortle.

A grin splits his face. “What's the matter? Can't stand the fact that your

    HAYLEYA thick curtain of snow forms on the windshield of my Dad's car as we drive home. The wipers work furiously, sweeping mounds of ice away from the glass—only for more snow to take its place. My Dad though, doesn't seem to care any bit for the snow as he belts out the lyrics to an old song playing on the stereo. “When our love was new, and each kiss an inspiration—” “Oh, God. Dad, please stop singing,” I chortle. A grin splits his face. “What's the matter? Can't stand the fact that your old man has got a melodious voice?” I roll my eyes, laughing. “Your voice is anything but melodious, Dad.” “Ouch.” My Dad clutches his chest dramatically, feigning hurt. “That's brutal.” “It's not like that,” I chuckle as we take a turn to our right, where the traffic lights at the intersection turn bright red. Slowly, our car grinds to a halt. “Let's just say, if you went for a musical competition, I wouldn't bet on you winning first place.” “So second place then?” “Err, probably not as w

    AXELFuck. The image of Miles, pinned to the ground and gasping for life as an ethereal blue energy is drawn out of him, burns through my thoughts. Slowly, fear rises in my chest. “But how? Should such power even be… possible?”“It shouldn't be,” the old woman admits. “Power like that is impossible to wolves like you and I. But Dreadborn is not like you and I. One of the last living Primordials, his natural strength surpasses that of an average wolf. Now, he's found a way to harness the corruption in him as a form of otherworldly energy.” “Reverse engineering,” Shane explains. “Basically, he's infusing the corruption in his body to other wolves, and draining their life in return.” Beads of sweat streak down my skin as I fold my palms tightly. Whatever hope I held for defeating the Lycan dwindles drastically with every passing second. Shane was right from the jump: We don't stand a chance. We never did.With every answered question though, the fog of ignorance at everything I didn't

    AXELAnxiety coils like a serpent in my belly as I stare at the wrinkled face of the woman before me. She knows all about werewolves… and she knows me. When I chance a glance at Shane, he wears an inscrutable look that does nothing to ease the apprehension in my guts. “A storm is coming, Shane. Bring your friend into the house,” The old woman says, before turning around to head for the wooden cabin. Steadying her weight with the cane she wields, she takes laborious steps up the small stairs and makes her way into the house. A storm? Through the dense, high trees towering across all of Lumber’s Trail, beams of sunlight spill down onto the snow-coated grounds, providing a soft glow for the surrounding shrubs. Yeah, there's no way a storm shows up today. “Need an invite?” Shane asks, pulling my attention to his presence on the porch. “Come in already.” Biting back a cuss, I follow after him. “How does the old lady know me? Also, who is she? Your mom?” I watch Shane grate his jaw

    HAYLEY“You sure it's a good idea to introduce him to my mum?” My attention is barely on Corey's words as I scan the crowd of parents exiting the auditorium in search of my Dad. “Of course. It's a great idea.” My best friend exhales nervously. “I don't know, Hayley. Wouldn't that make things super serious between us? Or super complicated?” I turn to face Corey, watching as she twirls the strands of hair in front of her head anxiously. God, my friend is the lovesick goner now. “Depends. I mean, you do like Harold right?” “Yeah, I… I do. I guess.” She squints her eyes behind her glasses. “I just don't want things to get… y'know, kinda awkward if we ever broke up. My mom would ask endless questions about him, and honestly, I don't know if—” A smile splits my face. “Corey, stop. For the first time in probably ever, you're about to make a relationship official—not like your previous casual flings. That tells me two things for certain: You really love Harold, and you're shit-scared.”

    AXEL“I mean, when you think about it, the school getting closed would have its upsides.” Lucas throws a handful of fries into his mouth, shrugging. “Think of all the crazy parties we could be at.” My eyes rake the entire cafeteria as my cousin rambles on about a possible closure for Greystone High. With the school's staff, the police department and a crowd of parents locked in a tense dialogue behind closed auditorium doors, the rest of the school speculates endlessly about what the meeting's outcome will be. Yet, my thoughts are far away from here. I need to find them. I glance around one last time, noting the absence of Shane and his pack in the cafeteria, and apprehension drives a spike through my chest. It's been three days since our harrowing encounter with Dreadborn in the woods, and I don't know for certain if the trio survived the ordeal. With silver driven straight through Rakim, and whatever the hell the Lycan did to Miles, both boys might as well already be dead. Goddam

    NARRATIVE POV Greystone was falling to ruin. The death of its high school librarian had thrown the small town into a state of paranoia. Parents had become worried. Students were anxious. And so it was no surprise that an emergency parent meeting had been called to address the fears of parents, guardians and students alike.Sheriff McKenna knew what kind of speech he'd give. Routine words of calm and simple assurances of safety—the man was used to it. Yet, nerves crawled through his guts as he turned off his ignition and stared out at the packed parking lot. Maybe it was the sense of fatherhood growing on him, but something about offering faint hearted promises to scared parents didn't sit well with him. “You sure you're up for this, Jamie?” The Sheriff cleared his throat, glancing briefly at his Deputy. “Yeah. Yeah, I'm good, buddy.”Morales stared at his partner with concern. “You’ve been acting differently, pal. I know you get worried for Maria and the baby, and I know how crazy

    HAYLEY. “Who would’ve thought Shakespeare could sound so lethargic?” Before I can respond, Mrs. Cooper steps out of the library. She casts a quick glance at myself and Corey as we linger by the door, and with a small “hmph” in our direction, she continues her walk to class. Whether or not she

    HAYLEY. The first weekend of autumn has rolled by, and my mind is fixated on the only plan I've got for the day: a movie outing with Corey. Desperate for any form of distraction to help push thoughts of Axel and our awkward fallout to the back of my mind, I've agreed to go out with her. It’s b

    AXEL. I sense the tackle coming before it happens, but for some reason, I’m slow to react. It's almost like my instincts are delayed. BAM. The opposing defender crashes into me headfirst, knocking me flat and snatching the ball mid-play. As I lie on my back, the stadium's headlights sting my

    AXEL. Stepping onto the pitch, I’m in awe at how massive it is. Hayley wasn’t exaggerating: it’s way bigger than the one back at my old school in Ashbrae. I glance around and most of the team is lounging on the benches, a handful of them deep in conversation. At the end of the bench, a few others
