The dining hall buzzes with energy, the air thick with the pleasant aroma of baked goods. Warm light filters through large, stained-glass windows, casting colorful patterns on the long wooden tables laden with platters of pastries and bowls of fruit. The high ceiling, adorned with rustic chandeliers, grants a medieval yet cozy atmosphere to the vast space.

Ariah grabs my wrist and drags me across the room, navigating us through the laughter and chatter of the crowds of students.

Slowly, heads start to turn, and eyes lock onto me. Whispers and pointing fingers follow. I realize it’s because my neck is exposed, my hair tied in a high ponytail, showcasing my mark for everyone to see. As expected, no one else has a mark like mine. Theirs are all smaller versions of Elijah’s, minus the paw-like print. And minus the hideous veins—which Elijah assured me will fade with time.

“I’m introducing you to our friends. You’re going to love them!” Ariah steers me toward the far corner where two stude

    An hour later, I find myself sitting at Celeste’s vanity, my hair cascading down my back in layers of curls.“Perfect!” she exclaims, her bright eyes locking with mine in the mirror as she carefully runs a fine-tooth comb through my locks.“It’s so shiny,” I marvel, hardly recognizing my own hair—it’s never looked this healthy. “How did you do that?”“Well, I—” Celeste places the brush down, only to knock off a nest of items from her messy vanity. It’s cluttered with a variety of makeup and jewelry, and the chaos doesn’t end there.Her bedroom is a dazzling disaster.The walls are adorned with glossy magazine cutouts and posters of her favorite runway models. Clothes drape over every possible surface—chairs, the bed, even the floor—designer labels peeking out from the haphazard piles. Shoes, from glittering heels to trendy sneakers, are strewn about as if a tornado has spun through her closet, whose door is now straining to contain the rainbow of garments within. Accessories hang from

    “Katie, are you sure you’re okay? I think we should go see the nurse,” Celeste falters, standing by the door of the toilet cubicle where Katie and Ariah are.Katie hunkers down in front of the toilet and throws up while Ariah sits next to her, rubbing her back.Ariah shoots us a troubled look. “This started during physical training. It looks like the change is taking a negative toll on her.”“She told me she’s been feeling nauseous since before class. In English, right, Katie?” Celeste presses.Katie holds up her thumb, nodding, then continues to dry heave into the toilet.The bathroom door swings open, and Nate breezes in, locking the door behind him.“Nate! You’re not supposed to be in here!” Ariah’s eyes widen.He huffs, dropping his backpack on the counter by the sink and unzipping it. “None of you have anything I haven’t seen. And I’m not into girls, nor a creep.”“You’re still not allowed in here.”Celeste snorts. “Whatever. What’s the rush, Nate?”“I’ve got five letters for you

    My first physical training class is nothing like I expect. I assume it will involve tossing balls and jogging around the gym—your standard stuff. As I walk in, I’m hit with the smell of sweat and adrenaline, a mix of human and wolf. Reinforced weight stations line the walls, each rack packed with plates that can handle beastly strength. There are padded areas for practicing transformations, assuming that the students don’t tear the place apart when in their wolf form.According to flyers stuck to one side of the wall, they offer agility courses that are designed to test speed and stealth, perfect for honing hunting skills.My eyes fall on the mirrored walls on one side of the room. “What’s the point of padded walls if those are there?”“Special enchanted mirrors, girl. Tough enough to survive accidental claw swipes.” Celeste tosses her duffel beside mine, winking. “Everything in here is wolf-proof.”“Right. So—”“Good morning, students,” a voice interrupts, silencing my inquiry into t

    Right there, in the center of the hallway, stands a giant wolf sniffing the air. It’s not just any wolf, mind you. It’s flimsy and see-through, flickering in and out like an ethereal creature from another world—as in, the afterlife.“Miss Woods?” A sharp voice pierces the silence, and I jerk around to find Mrs. Humphrey standing behind me. “What are you doing?”“I, uh, I’m supposed to start working in the library today.”“I see.” She peers past me, one of her dark, elegant brows quirking. “Can you see her?”“Her?” I echo, glancing at the wolf. “Yeah. It’s hard to miss her.”“You’d be surprised. Students walk through her on a daily basis,” Mrs. Humphrey quips. “Looks like you can see the dead, my dear.”“I’m sorry?” I groan, rubbing my forehead. “Out of all the abilities we have at our disposal, mine is to be able to see the dead?”“Yes, it seems like it.” She doesn’t seem to notice my irritation, carrying on with a light tone, “She can’t hurt you. She likes to busy herself by roaming

    The crowd falls silent as the headmistress strides forward, the gigantic doors slamming shut behind her. The click of her heels echoes through the cavernous room, and every set of eyes is fixed on her. I struggle to stifle a yawn behind my hand, fighting off the drowsiness that threatens to pull me under.Leaning toward Elijah, I whisper, “What time is it, anyway?”Without taking his eyes off Mrs. Humphrey, he reaches into his pocket and pulls out his cellphone. He waits for the headmistress to direct her attention to one of the teachers before flicking on the screen and glancing down. “Three forty-five.”“No wonder I’m this tired,” I mutter. “I probably had like two hours of sleep, if I’m lucky.”He rubs his eyes. “You and I both.”I peek at him. “You didn’t sleep either?”“It’s complicated.”“You always give me that answer. I’d like to know at some point what is so complicated.”He glances at me, his brows knitted together, but he says nothing.I pass him a shrewd look. “It can’t be

    “Lenny,” I admit, not realizing my slip-up. “I don’t have classes with him. Not yet, anyway.”“Len,” Elijah coughs beside me. “She means Mr. Len.”“Oh,” I flush, noting my mistake. Damn you, Ariah. “Sorry. It’s hard to keep up with so many new names.”“Hm. Did he say where he got it from?” When I shake my head, she carries on, “Looks like one of the students is trying to prank you. This tactic has been used before, I’m afraid. Students pass on notes to teachers, claiming they’re from another teacher and such.” Her lips thin with annoyance, turning to Elijah. “Why don’t you walk Miss Woods back to her dorm? I’ve got another student to tend to.”“Sure.” Elijah pulls a face as she slams the door shut. He glances at me. “So, who do you think is responsible?”Valerie, probably. “No idea,” I lie. “Let’s go. This place is giving me the creeps.”Elijah departs to the boys’ common area once I slip back into my dorm room, relieved to find Ariah still fast asleep. I kick off my shoes and drape m
