Everywhere scattered as the students ran helter-skelter. I was shaken to my bones as I saw the student hanging down the flowers, blood slowly filling the ground under him. 

I kept singing “what the hell?” as I threw my bag away and rushed to rescue the dying student.

His belly had been pierced by the sharp branch and his eyeglasses were shattered and stuck in his face making it a gory sight.

“Someone is dying here”, I fished out my phone to call the emergency toll as I tried to help him down the flower holding onto his body.

He was slightly bigger than me, leaving me no choice but to use my wolf strength to help him down as we get surrounded by other students. 

“Everybody stay alert! Don't panic too much” the alarm kept blaring but we were all too tensed to listen

“He'll die at this rate”, the same girl shouted and rushed forward to where I was beside him with bloodied hands

When will the ambulance get here?” I questioned and she pointed to the front, it was there already.

He was transported and we both joined the transit to the hospital where he was rushed to the theater for his surgery. I had texted my driver my location so he could join me and pick me up after getting the update about the injured student.

I couldn’t get the scene of the boy that pushed him down the window off my head. How could he do that? What if he had died just like that? What exactly gave him the gut to push his fellow student down?

I have to find out”, I muttered to myself before my phone rang.

It was the Alpha

Have you forgotten that you have royal lessons? Why are you not at home yet?” his voice howled behind the call

Oopsss! I had totally forgotten that I had a royal lesson for the day but what happened was more important than the lesson.

Can I just skip it for today? Something came up”, I answered and his voice got stronger than the first time

Then don’t bother to step into my house anymore”, he threatened and disconnected the call before I could even say a word

He was always threatening me with not stepping into his house anymore or not being his son whenever he wanted me to do anything. I didn’t have a choice at that point since I still wanted to be my father’ son so I went to check if there was any update again before I take my leave.

I stepped into the ward where he was transferred to and saw the girl we came together shaking with her hands in the air.

It was like I had caught her doing something bad.

What are you doing?” I asked, staring at her hand that was very close to his neck

By chance are you trying to kill…?” my eyes bulged in horror and my legs staggered back in fear

What is wrong with everybody in this school? Someone almost died and we managed to save him but she was trying to kill him again? Why? To erase the evidence?

It’s not like that”, she responded but I shook my head

It’s exactly like that. You all are demons”, I screamed and ran out of the room

Immediately, I told my driver to head home with no plan of coming back to the school the second day. The first day was too much for me already.

|Annabel|

Ever since I started attending Sherlock High School, such incident have never happened. I cowered in fear as I saw the unconscious body of the boy that was bullied earlier in the afternoon lying on the flower branches.

I offered to ride with him to the hospital with the new boy and was watching over him in the ward he was transferred to after surgery when I felt my hands lit up. It was strange.

A strange neon halo-like light surrounded my hands as I stood near him. My hands started to move on its own and drew me nearer to his neck that was aided by a bandage. I felt a push on my hand as it slowly headed for his neck and just then, the new boy appeared.

Were you about to kill him? To erase the evidence?” he questioned in horror and all I was trying to tell him never got to him.

The position he met my hands were weird and it was hard to tell him that I wasn’t in control of them. Even I was confused about what was happening to me.

Just as he ran out of the room, I also fled from the scene. I couldn’t believe that I was about to kill someone.

Why? Because I don’t want it to be pinned on Bernard? What was that light? I could swear that I felt a strange push on my hands”, I thought to myself as my driver took me home.

My mind was clouded and heavy. I know that Bernard is my card to my enthronement as the heiress but why would I go as far as killing someone just to erase the evidence that he had something to do with him?

The light and push I felt on my hand wasn’t making sense either. Who would believe such nonsense? Even I couldn’t believe my eyes.

Throughout the night, I couldn’t sleep. I kept tossing and turning as I thought about the new boy.

I wonder what he will think about me. I didn’t try to kill him but he saw my hands around his neck. How can I explain for him to understand and believe me?”,

I was going crazy at the thought of the misunderstanding till sleep finally took over me.

****

For days, he didn’t come to school and I got worried about him. What he saw must have gotten to him so much that he thought our school was a hellish place, which was not entirely wrong. I couldn’t stop worrying about him so I decided to get his number from the principal.

I dialed his phone which rang for a while before someone picked it up.

Hello, I want to speak with ehmmm”, it was then I realized that I didn’t care about his name.

The Principal luckily was beside me and she helped out quickly by whispering “Oliver”

I want to speak with Oliver”, I tried hard not to stutter and the rough voice asked who I was

His classmate”, I responded and a short silence followed

He’s currently sick but he will resume school next week. Thank you for calling. I will make sure to relay your message”, the voice reported and the line went dead before I could say anything else

A sigh of relief dropped from my lips as I turned to relay what I was told to the principal who nodded in appreciation. She claimed that she had been trying to call him for days but nobody was picking up.

It’s up to him now. I did my best”, I convinced myself and shook off every negative feeling I had been harboring for days.

Annabel Harvey is not someone who has the luxury of worrying about others. I would never invest my time and emotions in things that won’t contribute to my ascension.

    |Cassie|“I don’t want to go home tonight.”That was all I said. My voice sounded soft, unsure, but enough. My arms were still around his neck, fingers gently brushing against his hair. My tears were drying on his shoulder, but my chest hadn’t stopped trembling. There was still a storm behind my ribs, but at least he was my shelter now.Nicholas didn’t say a word, as if he’d been waiting for that moment. Without a word, he laced his fingers with mine and led me through the office, down the elevator, into the calm quiet of the underground parking lot. He opened the door for me of the office for me, his hand lingering on the small of my back as I stepped out to the hallway. That subtle touch of his sent a ripple through my body.The walk to the elevator was silent but the silence between us wasn’t uncomfortable. The moment was filled with unspoken emotions, worry, and want. We walked into the underground parking, the harsh fluorescent lights doing little to distract us from how exhauste

    Annabel woke up to the soft hum of the hospital machines, the rhythmic beeping providing a strange sense of comfort. The room was dimly lit, the moon casting a silver glow through the blinds. It was the last night she would spend in this place before being discharged, and though she was relieved, something about the stillness of the night made her restless.Everyone had been by her side throughout the day; Courtney, Dela, Bernard, Oliver, and her parents. She was grateful for their presence, but exhaustion had weighed her down, and she had fallen asleep early. Now, as the silence stretched around her, her eyelids grew heavy once again, and she drifted off into a dream.***A familiar scent of wildflowers and fresh earth surrounded her as she walked deeper into the road. A soft glow shone from behind and Annabel turned to see her mother standing there. Although she wasn’t the one who had raised her, but the one she had lost and the last healer of the werewolf kind, she still felt the a

    Annabel blinked as the warm lights of the hospital settled into her vision. She felt light, almost as if she were floating, but the comforting warmth of the blanket tucked around her reassured her that she was safe.Courtney, Dela, and Bernard sat by her bedside, her parents standing nearby as the doctor finished his check-up. The tension in the room had been thick until the doctor finally spoke."Her condition is remarkable. I've never seen a wound heal this fast," he said, pressing gently against her abdomen. Annabel winced slightly, but the pain was nowhere near what she had expected.Her mother let out a breath of relief. "Thank Goodness."Her father nodded in agreement. "So, she'll be fine? We don’t have to worry about any complications, right?"The doctor smiled. "Not just fine. She'll be ready for discharge by tomorrow morning. However, I’d advise her to take it easy for a few more days. She needs to rest a lot and avoid strenuous jobs or activities"Courtney clapped her hands

    Murmurs erupted among the officials at the announcement of the Alpha’s purpose for the meeting. The Alpha had made sure the words about Lucas didn’t get out until he was ready to deal with him so they didn’t know what was going on.Oliver was at the right hand of the alpha, trying hard to calm his boiling inside so he wouldn’t ruin the meeting that his father had called.“Bring him in.”The alpha’s voice roared as the guards led Lucas in. He was tied with thick silver chains and his hands were behind his back. The murmurs that had once died down erupted with full force.Some of the officials even had to stand up to be sure they were seeing right. What could warrant a father to have his child bound in chains?“I am an alpha that has always upheld integrity because I believe that is what our pack is built on. There’s no reason for me to jeopardize this belief just because my son is involved. Today, we will be reviewing the crime of the traitor who has done everything evil to turn our pa

    The days dragged by in a haze of anxiety and exhaustion. Annabel had not stirred since the surgery. A full week had passed, and yet there was no sign of her waking up. The doctors assured them that her vitals were stable, that she was still fighting, but the waiting gnawed at Oliver like a relentless beast.He sat by her bedside every day, holding her hand, whispering to her.“Are you that angry at me that you don’t want to see me? You look so upset even in your sleep,” he muttered, adjusting the bangs scattered on her face.He talked about anything and everything, hoping his voice would pull her back. He told her about the sunrise, about how the pack was restless without her, about how he needed her to wake up because he didn’t know how to live in a world where she wasn’t conscious. But every day, his words were met with the same steady beep of the monitor and the soft sound of her breathing.He clenched his fists, his exhaustion heaving out.“I need to go back to the pack,” he final

    Lucas gritted his teeth as he forced himself up from the floor, his werewolf strength pushing against the poison that coursed through his veins. His muscles ached, his vision blurred for a second, but the sheer will to survive and take Annabel down fueled him. He staggered to the bed and fished out the dagger she had hidden under the pillow."You thought you could outsmart me?" he growled, his voice hoarse but filled with venom.Annabel’s eyes widened as she saw the glint of the blade. She struggled to steady herself, the poison affecting her but at a slower rate than Lucas. Her body was fighting back, her lineage granting her some resilience, but she was far from safe.Before she could react, Lucas lunged at her with his remaining strength, plunging the dagger deep into her abdomen. A sharp cry of pain tore through her lips as she stumbled back, clutching at the blade lodged in her stomach. Blood seeped through her fingers, her breath coming in ragged gasps."You—!" she choked, her
