Lena's POV 

I screamed at the sight before me, Coach Lucien was standing before me, a strange presence around him, his eyes glowed a soft but bright gold. His teeth looked longer, like a vampire's.... His eyebrows were raised as if surprised to see me 

The scream escaped before I could stop it, he turned as a lady dressed in white rushed in. Only when she touched the drip in my hands did I realise where I was. Why was I in the hospital? 

Why did Lucien look like a beast a minute ago, the nurse looked shocked as she checked my vitals. She mumbled something to Lucien before rushing out as fast as she came in.

Coach didn't turn to face me, his back was stiff, I watched as he clenched and unclenched his fist. Was he angry?

Something throbbed painfully in my head, almost felt like a creature was trying to escape, it hurt at a point and I winced. Only then did Lucien turn to face me. His eyes were no longer gold but red like he'd been crying or high on drugs 

"Are you okay?" His voice was hoarse 

"I'm fine" I answered, my voice coming out in a croak. I still couldn't remember what happened, the last thing I remembered was playing on the ice and ..... Kiera!!!. The memory jolted me up and I say upright, startling Lucien. He frowned as he faced me .

"Kiera, it was on purpose!" 

He looked at me like I had lost my mind, it hurt to talk and my chest hurt so badly, the place where I was hit itched and I reached up to itch it 

"You shouldn't do that" Lucien said, pulling my hands away, he paused as he checked. "There's no bruising? What the heck? A while ago, you were said to be unconscious and you had so big a scar on your neck. How is it gone?" 

Nothing he said made sense, what bruising?. I was about to ask when the nurse returned with a doctor looking as confused as she was..

He checked my vitals, mirroring the nurse's same expression. Did I die? I couldn't help but wondered. The rest of the day went in a blur, hushed communications, shocked expressions and a lot of whispers.

Nobody explained what happened, all member of the team except Kiera came to check on me and also looked shocked to see me okay. They all hugged me, promising to come back to see me.

Lucien didn't leave, I noticed. He also didn't talk to me, I caught him starting at a time and couldn't explain his expression. He was usually always cold and expressionless. It was even harder trying to figure out what was going through his mind.

The school's principal also stopped by with a few staffs assuring me the bills were going to be sorted and all I had to do was get better.

Nothing made sense and I must have slept off cause the next thing I knew, I was in a different room, someone was with me but I couldn't see their face because they stood with their back to me, facing the window which revealed a beach on the outside.

I sighed softly as I tried to get off the bed, the person turned as I made a sound and rushed towards .

The figure turned out to be a female and it was weird but she looked like me, she sat at the edge of the bed and held my hands in hers 

"Lena, my baby. Are you okay?" She asked, her already puffy eyes watering up. She had been crying 

"I'm okay. Who are you?" I asked, gently pulling my hands away from her hold.

She released my hands, her lips lowering sadly .. "I'm your mother. I'm sorry I've not been around. You've grown up to become a beautiful lady." As if on impulse, she brushed a strand of hair off my face.

I frowned and moved back, My mother? Where has she been all this while and why was she acting like I was to be comfortable around her. I didn't even know her. "My mother?" 

"Yes Lena. I can't say much but your life would change now, so many things won't make sense but you can trust him" she said before pointing to a corner.

Only then did I see another person in the shadows, his figure was familiar, I was sure I had seen him somewhere.

"Who is he?" I asked, trying to see the face but to no avail m

"He's the one fated to you by the moon goddess. Let him help you" she stood up and began to walk away. I tried to call her but she walked away, the figure in the shadows also walked out. 

"Mother!!!" I screamed and woke up. It was a dream. 

The room was dark, I was still in the hospital. The Moon shine brightly into the room, it looked different tonight like it was calling out to me. I stood up and walked towards the window like a lamb to the slaughter. I pressed my face to the window and kept my gaze on the moon.

It was so beautiful, was it always like this? I picked up the scent of water which was odd. Water had no smell. My heart rate picked up as I sensed a presence in the room. 

My body was reacting differently, I didn't sense people, my smell seemed to be heightened and I could hear heartbeat that wasn't mine 

What was going on?

Whoever was in the room stood up and walked to the window. I was scared to turn but I caught a whiff of something, it was the coach.

I faced him and gasped, his naturally cold face now looked furious and I could swear it glowed, his face. He looked different, I could pick two heartbeats. 

"What's going on?" I asked 

He scoffed and moved closer. "I should ask you. What the hell are you and what are you planning?"

    Lucien's POV I watched as Lena dropped to the floor but not before I saw the flash of her eyes. The boys froze and a deep hush seemed to drop on everyone.I recovered quickly and rushed towards her, "Call for an ambulance!!!" I yelled on top of my voice. One of the guys glided off the ice to call while the rest surrounded me, shock and fear on their faces.She was cold and wasn't breathing, I checked her pulse and my heart skipped a beat. I wasn't supposed to let her practice just yet, I swore underneath my breathe as I carried her, she weighed so little compared to her frame, I glided off and waited for the guys to pull of my skating shoes before racing to the exit "Please, please" I begged the moon goddess. This wasn't about to end before I even got a chance to find her. My wolf growled within me like a wounded animal.I would have wondered why but i couldn't, the ambulance arrived before I got to the front, I placed her on the stretcher and joined them in the bus. They zoomed off

I had missed three days in a row and i didn't even reach out to her.It wasn't crowded when I arrived just like I expected, it was Friday. I pushed open the door with a grin on my face and bumped into someone."Hey, I'm sorry" I apologized turning to see who it was. "It's okay" came the reply. I knew that voice. He bent to pick a note and stood back up. "It's you" I grinned, recognising him, he was the guy who helped me stand and gave me the hockey gear.He smiled back as he placed his books on the closest table. "Lena. Right?" He asked stretching his hands to me I grabbed it and smiled wider, he knew my name. "Yes, Lena and you're?" "Collins. Funny to meet you here. How're you doing?" I chuckled and was about to answer when my boss came in, she looked surprised to see me but it turned to relief as she pulled me into a hug. "I was wo

    Lena's POV I should have stayed gone. Anyone else would have But the scholarship? That was my only hope to living. So the next morning, I was back at the rink, the guy who helped me up gave me basic gears, said it was okay for a beginner.I matched in like I wasn't walking to my execution, trying my best to look confident, Coach Lucien didn't greet me, he barely acknowledged me. I ignored the cold behaviour and dropped my bags before returning to the rink, I was thankful I could at least skate, growing up I liked the ice and that made me learn it once I had the opportunity to.It wasn't a total disaster only that I no longer liked it, it reminded me of so many memories I'd love to keep away. One of which included a broken finger, I winced before shaking my head to clear the memories.Warm-ups started and I was slower than the others, my shoulders stiff and I was more focused on staying on my feet than on the puck. Halfway through, I fumbled a pass, missed it completely instead of

    Lena's POV "To maintain your provisional scholarship, you are required to participate in the school's hockey tryouts. Your performance will determine your eligibility moving forward" I stared at the mail again, blinking as if it had the same effect a slap would have. I read it again hoping there was a mistake. Across the room, my roommate, Sarah sat upright on her bed as her jaw dropped open. "Did you also get the notification?" She asked, equally surprised. While I'd been on a scholarship since my first year in high school, she wasn't because she couldn't meet the requirements.But we both decided to try our lucks for a college scholarship, for her it was trying her luck, but for m, it was of survival. Get it right or go back home.No scholarship simply meant I wasn't going to college. I nodded in response to her and got out of bed, glancing at my reflection in the mirror.Every line of fatigue were so perfectly sculpted into my features, I had not enjoyed a good night's rest in t
