“Undress her.”The words sliced through the air like a knife, sharp and merciless. My blood turned cold the second I heard it.A cruel grin stretched across the man’s face as his hungry eyes devoured me. My knees trembled, my body frozen in fear.“H-Help!” My voice cracked as I screamed with every ounce of strength I had left. My chest rose and fell in a storm of panic, my heartbeat so loud it echoed in my ears.But instead of help, laughter filled the air.Ugly, twisted laughter.Their faces looked like demons in the dim light, dark rings under their eyes, filthy smirks, and smiles that showed no humanity at all.“As you can see, no one’s going to hear you here, miss.” The man’s voice dripped with mockery.I knew he was right. This was an isolated part of the university. No students, no professors, no guards. Just me… and them.My lip quivered, but I bit down hard, forcing myself to breathe. No. I couldn’t just stand here and cry.The man closest to me tightened his grip on my arm. H
Astrid University.The name itself was like a crown. Almost every classmate of mine in high school dreamed of studying here. To them, it was the perfect place, the peak of prestige, the door to a better life. But for me? I never even allowed myself to dream of it. From the start, I knew we couldn’t afford a school like this.And yet… here I am.A scholarship. A full one at that. Something so rare that even geniuses who had spent their entire lives chasing books didn’t always get the chance. But me? I was just an ordinary girl. Not the smartest, not the brightest, not someone anyone would notice. So why me? Did I really do so well in that exam? Or was there another reason... something darker that I wasn’t aware of?The thought haunted me the entire week I stayed in the dormitory.I couldn’t adjust. I couldn’t breathe freely. Everywhere I went, I felt eyes on me. Students staring, whispering, smirking as if I was someone strange, someone marked. I tried to ignore it, but deep inside I f
Tobias met me at the terminal with a smile that could have made any girl’s knees weak. His presence was the kind that drew eyes immediately. Broad shoulders, strong jaw, eyes that could pierce through anyone, he was the type of man other girls dreamed about. I had always heard rumors about him, how girls chased after him, how they whispered about his looks and his charm. I never doubted it. Tobias was handsome, painfully so, and it was obvious to anyone who looked at him.But that day, that smile of his was for me.He had not been able to go home that summer because of his classes, which was why he insisted on fetching me instead. I told him I could manage, but Tobias was stubborn, always had been. When he wanted something, he didn’t stop until he got it. So I had no choice but to let him come.The bus ride was long. My eyelids grew heavy, my body weak from the sleepless night before. Somewhere along the road, I drifted into slumber. When I woke up, the city had already unfolded outsi
The school year ended like a fleeting dream, gone in the blink of an eye. I graduated from high school without friends, without anyone to remember me, but even with the loneliness that clung to me every single day, I was grateful. Because through all of it, I had Aunt Vera and Uncle Silas.They were the only ones who stayed beside me when no one else did. They supported every decision I made, no matter how small, no matter how impossible it looked. Sometimes I would wonder how much money they had spent on me, how much they had sacrificed just so I could live normally. And even though they never made me feel like a burden, guilt still crawled inside my chest. I shouldn’t feel guilty, but I did.I was happy with them. Truly happy.So after finishing high school, I thought it was finally time to stop being a weight on their shoulders. I wanted to settle down, to find a job, and help them. But when I said it, they refused me right away. They told me to chase a future, not a paycheck.The
As time passed, my curiosity about werewolves grew stronger. After that horrible encounter in the forest, my thoughts never left them. I couldn’t stop wondering. Were they like my father? Did they know him? Was my mother one of them, or was she a normal person like me?Or… was I even normal?Every night, I lay awake with questions circling in my head. Questions no one wanted to answer. Questions that carved holes in me. All I could do was push them down, waiting for the day when the truth would finally come.“You’re spacing out again,” a familiar voice broke through my daze.I blinked, and when I turned, my eyes lit up. “Tobias!”I jumped to my feet before I could stop myself. Joy surged through me at the sight of him.Oh, how I missed him.Last year, he had left for the academy in the city. Dorm life, classes, a new world away from this suffocating little village. He came back only during vacations, and it felt like an eternity since I last saw him.He wasn’t the same boy I remembered
Trembling in my position, I could hardly feel my legs. My mind wasn’t working right anymore. All I could hear was my own harsh breathing and the pounding of my heart. My eyes blurred with tears I didn’t even notice were falling. I didn’t know how much that horrible night from my past had scarred me until now. It was all rushing back—the blood, the screams, the helplessness.I flinched when something touched me, thinking it was another attack, but then a familiar voice broke through my panic.“Maive!”Warm arms wrapped around me, strong and steady. My body stiffened before I recognized him. Uncle Silas.His embrace tightened as if he was afraid I might slip away. He lifted me from the ground as if I weighed nothing. I buried my face into his chest, realizing only then how badly I was shaking. My tears spilled harder, soaking his shirt.“Shhh… it’s fine now, Maive. You’re safe,” he whispered, his voice low and steady, though I could feel the tension in him.Safe. That word almost made m
