MONICA.

“Roman.”

The name sounds strange on my lips before I can even try to shift back into my Human form. I step away from Hyden and I realize that he really is dead. His eyes are open in fear, wide and glassy, staring at nothing. A pool of his own blood surrounds him like a halo, like wings, seeping into the grass and the dry dirt. The smell wafts into my nose, invading my lungs like some kind of putrid gas that’s meant to make me feel sick.

And I am sick. I can’t believe what I just did.

Now Roman is standing closer. He doesn’t keep his wide eyes off me. I can’t read his expression; my vision is not meant to see the finer details of his face. But I don’t need to have that ability. I can sense his fear, his judgment.

“You killed him,” he says again, his voice fainter this time. “Hyden….”

I can’t speak. I’m still in my huge, lumbering wolf form. All that escapes my lips is a whimper, a whine.

Roman shakes his head like he doesn’t want to believe it. “Monica, how did you….”

    MONICA.“Come on, be careful now!” Roman instructs August and another soldier, who are carrying Riva along the clear path in the woods, both heaving and cursing under their breaths. “We’re almost there. Don’t drop her; her bindings might loosen.”Although this is a valid point, I hardly think it will happen. They bound Riva like a spring roll.Thick ropes are connecting her bound wrists to her bound ankles. A flat, dense gag is placed on her mouth. The entire upper half of her head is covered in a layer of fabric like a turban. Whoever did this to her knows what they’re doing. Not even five separate drops can make those restraints loosen.Still, Roman is being extra careful. As we approach the warehouse, the first thing I see is the light. Some people are actually inside the place, waiting for our arrival. There are about two dozen people, all heavily armed like they’re preparing to battle an entire army unit. And placed inside the warehouse is a huge metal chair, where they set Riv

    MONICA.God. What do I do with Roman?I watch as he takes charge of the events, purposefully ignoring me as I stare at him. I know that he just wants to put an end to all of this and maybe I’m just being a little bitch, but I don’t want to take risks anymore. I’m scared out of my wits here.“Just relax,” he even tells me, which just makes me angry more than being scared."No." I shake my head continuously as I watch the men carry Riva’s unconscious body inside the van. "I can't believe this. I can't believe we're all doing this." “Neither can I, to be honest,” August suddenly puts in, getting inside the backseat of the other van, behind me and Roman. “I mean, I get your point, Roman, but this is just bad. This bitch is going to kill us if she gets on the loose. Didn’t you see what she just did?”“I know it doesn’t sound all that safe, but please just trust me,” Roman says, getting into the front and revving the engine. However, instead of driving the vehicle, he shoots one more cauti

    MONICA.Energy rushes in my body, filling me with strength I never knew I was capable of until now. I’m at my peak, and nothing can stop me at this point.Before I knew it, my wolf form claws Riva in the face, pushes her in the ground, and mauls her with its teeth. One motion to sink its teeth into her shoulder and render her unconscious.Slowly, my wolf gives me back the control and I'm human once again, standing before Riva, who's lying in the middle of the clearing, her eyes closed.All around her, all the fallen soldiers begin to stir. It's like they were only unconscious because she can control them. I almost fall back in relief after knowing that none of them died."Monica!" Roman comes bounding towards me as I stare in numb shock. He wraps his arms around me and hugs me. "Monica, that was fantastic. You saved all of us.”Did I, really? I wonder darkly. Still, I just kiss his lips softly as everyone crowds around me. "Let's get out of here.”As we all get ready to leave, I can’t

    MONICA."Finally, Monica," she croons. "It definitely took you long enough, but I'm happy you're finally able to join the fight. It's overdue.”My body is growing fast, but as I land on the ground, I make sure not to land on any of the fallen soldiers. My fur is shining silver, impenetrable by any weapon. Riva just watches me with amusement, like I’m a child trying to join a game. She even breaks into a laugh as I growl at her.She tightens her grip around Roman, like she’s holding him hostage. “Do you really want to attack me and risk losing him?”Speckles of the poison in her mouth splatter on Roman, burning holes through his clothes. The spots on his skin that get sprinkled with poison begin to bleed.Whatever she has going on is dangerous. She’s completely immune to it, but it looks like the type of poison that will eat him from the inside.I would rather take the chance of possibly crashing into Roman than having him take that poison in his body.I leap at Riva at last, but she c

    MONICA.With that, Riva sprints towards the closest soldier, pulls his bow from him, and hits another soldier with it—all in one blink. Then he kicks another soldier’s legs, making him scream and crumple to the ground. Now it’s only me, Roman, and August in our team. And I’m rendered useless.Roman must have noticed that something is up with me, because he whispers to August, “Stay with your mother. I got this.”I want to yell in protest, but my jaw has clamped itself shut. August obediently backs away and stays by my side, and thankfully Riva doesn’t attack him. She regards him with narrowed eyes and a smirk, though. And I don’t feel comfortable with that. Still, I can’t do anything. I’m paralyzed.“I guess you want a one on one, huh, Mister Alpha King?” Riva asks, tilting her head on one side like she’s talking to a puppy. “Do you wish to test your abilities against me?”Roman’s jaw tightens. “I’ll end you.”“That’s cute,” Riva answers nonchalantly. “I’ve seen you fight, Mister Al

    MONICA.It’s not easy moving around in the palace, even though it’s the dead of the night. I don’t bother coming back to my room. I just get some clothes in our martial bedroom, gathering some weapons in case something happens.And with that, I sneak out of the palace before the sun can come up and anyone would come looking to find me.The early morning is cold. I can see my breath fogging up in front of me as I swerve deep into the forest. I rub my hands together to warm myself up, taking a deep breath to muster the courage to go deeper than the edge.But before I can go through with it, I suddenly hear footsteps behind me.I wheel around, only to find Roman running towards me. My mind immediately jumps to the worst, only to see that Roman is frowning at me with concern as he runs.“Monica, what the hell are you doing here?” he demands as he gets closer to me. “I thought… I was looking for you!”The shock of seeing him here and still himself makes me freeze. I look around us to check
