When Mia opened her eyes, it took her a few seconds to understand where she was.

The high, white ceiling was unlike anything she had ever known. The bed was gigantic, soft, and the Egyptian cotton sheets caressed her skin like a gentle breeze. As he tried to move, he noticed that his right leg was bandaged, but curiously, it no longer hurt.

Carefully, he sat down on the king-size bed, allowing himself to look around more carefully. The room was a spectacle of elegance and serenity: neutral tones dominated the room, including whites, beiges and subtle touches of gold. The translucent curtains swayed gently in the morning wind, and the light wood furniture was impeccably finished. Everything there looked like it had come out of a decorating magazine.

Curious, Mia stood up and began to explore the room. When she opened one of the doors discreetly built into the wall, she stumbled upon a huge closet - so big that it could easily fit all the furniture in her old bedroom. She laughed to he

  • My big bad wolf   36

    As soon as Nolan left the cafeteria, Mia felt as if he had taken all her dignity with him. The gazes that had previously been on her with curiosity now weighed like a chain around her neck. Some looked at her with pity, others with the expression of someone observing a disaster foretold, and, to her discomfort, there were also those who laughed discreetly, finding amusement in the vexation of others.Mia's chest burned. Her eyes filled with water, but she pressed her lips together, dug her nails into her palms and repeated to herself like a mantra:“I'm not going to cry. I'm not going to give that self-centered son of a bitch a taste.”But telling herself this wasn't enough to erase the feeling of humiliation that burned in her skin. Anger boiled up, a bitter mixture of disappointment with Nolan and frustration with herself. Because, deep down, his words made sense. Showing her cell phone, with video and sound, in a school where at any moment a wolf could turn or leak something import

    The smile still shone on Liam's face, on the screen of his cell phone, when Mia turned the camera back to herself. She barely had time to process how much those words warmed her up inside before she heard them:“I'm proud of you, princess.”Those words made her smile for real. For the first time all day, she felt safe, as if nothing could touch her at that moment. But this feeling was brutally interrupted.Within a second, the cell phone was snatched from her hand with such rapid force that her fingers barely had time to react. The next instant, the sound of the device smashing against the cafeteria wall reverberated through the room like a gunshot.Mia turned around, her heart already racing, ready to face Diana for the third time that day. But as she turned, she didn't find the arrogant blonde. It was Nolan.Standing there, just a few steps away, his eyes glowed an intense, almost supernatural red. His aura was menacing, and the woody, spicy smell that had always seemed enchanting t

    Mia felt everyone's eyes on her. The cafeteria, which had previously been buzzing with laughter, conversation and trays being dragged over the metal of the tables, was plunged into a tense silence after the explosion of power and anger that emanated from Nolan. Diana's claws were still embedded in his arm, and she could feel the warmth of the blood that was slowly seeping through his skin.His voice was firm, low and full of authority. But more than that, it was charged with something Mia couldn't quite put her finger on - perhaps hatred, perhaps protection, perhaps something even more confusing.“I don't think you're hungry today, Diana. Maybe you should go home early.”Diana turned slowly towards Nolan. Her clear eyes, which moments before had brimmed with superiority, now reflected hurt and deep resentment. She opened her mouth as if she was going to say something, a final provocation or perhaps a plea, but as she stared into Nolan's glare, she gave up. He seemed on the verge of lo

    Mia could hardly believe that the morning wasn't over yet. The first lesson had already been complete emotional chaos, thanks to Nolan and his drastic change of attitude. But, to her relief, she had two more classes before the break. The first was French, something she had been studying for some time, which gave her some comfort. The second, however, completely floored her: History of Wolves.She felt a certain panic when she entered the room and realized that she was the oldest one there. All the other students seemed to be at least two or three years younger than her. Still, she swallowed her pride and sat quietly at the back of the room. Mia knew absolutely nothing about wolves. Nothing about their world, their rules, their stories, their conflicts. It was embarrassing to admit, but she needed that lesson, even if she felt like a child among teenagers.The lesson was... revealing.She learned about the origins of the clans, the legendary alphas, the territorial wars, the marking ri

    From Nolan's point of view:Nolan's only consolation that morning was knowing that Diana was in another class. After everything that had happened over the weekend, the last thing he needed was to face her again. He walked through the cold corridors of the school with a heavy step and a closed face. The black leather of his jacket swayed with the movement of his broad shoulders, and his intense eyes scanned his surroundings with disinterest.He entered the room and went straight to the back, where Tiago and Fred were already slumped in their chairs, their expressions a mixture of boredom and alertness. Sitting with them was an attempt to maintain a semblance of normality, as if his mind wasn't filled with thoughts that only drove him madder by the minute.But fate seemed determined to test him.The door to the room opened.Nolan felt it before he saw it. A sweet, familiar, warm smell. His wolf rose inside him as if waking from a light sleep. His muscles stiffened. His senses screamed i

    As soon as the words came out of Nolan's mouth, sharp as a razor, he tilted his head slightly to one side and let out a debauched chuckle, as if he had just told the best joke of the day.“Sorry, guys... it's just that I can't stand weak wolfish humans. And sometimes I get a sudden urge to kill them.”The room remained silent, but while some students giggled nervously, perhaps thinking he was just joking, only Maik and Mia remained serious. Very serious. The kind of seriousness that came from indignation and pain.Mia's blood ran cold. The sound of Nolan's laughter still seemed to echo in her mind, mixing with the words he had just thrown like daggers. For a moment, she couldn't breathe properly.“What a self-centered asshole.”The phrase burst into her mind with force, almost like an inner scream. She clenched her fists under the table, trying to contain the explosion of feelings that threatened to overflow.“I didn't do anything to him. Nothing. And yet he humiliates me in front of
