MasukChapter 15. Camryn. I woke up restless, my wolf stirring violently inside me. A surge of energy pulsed through my chest, sharp and uncontrollable and Heather’s loud singing didn’t help. My senses were heightened, every note of her voice grated on my ears like a thousand tiny needles. “Turn it down,” I snapped, my voice sharper than I intended. Heather rolled her eyes, clearly ignoring me. Normally, I’d let it slide just to avoid drama, avoid attention but today was different. I felt… different. Raw. Untamed. I marched over and snatched her MP3 player. Without thinking, I smashed it on the tiled floor. “Are you crazy?” Heather’s hands shot up defensively, ready to lash out. “Don’t you dare touch me!” I growled, my wolf flaring beneath my skin. She hesitated and for the first time, I saw genuine fear in her eyes. Smart girl. I stormed into the bathroom, le
Chapter 14. Kian. I stood silently on the observation deck, a thick book clutched against my chest. Even after reading every single book I could find on ancient werewolf history, I still hadn’t found the answers I was looking for. Ever since that day in the woods, when I first saw the scar on Camryn’s stomach, I knew it had a meaning. Something important, something I couldn’t quite place. Until I understood its purpose, all I could do was watch from a distance, making sure she was safe. The pull to protect her was strong, confusing, and irritating all at once. Her presence affected me more than I would ever admit, yet some primal part of me demanded her safety. I let my eyes drift over the courtyard below. Students walked about, laughing and shouting. The sound of their voices, loud and annoying. I have always been an observer, noticing small details others missed, the way someone fidge
Chapter 13. Camryn. As I hurried through the hallways, whispers of the upcoming full moon trailed behind me, sending a shiver down my spine. My mind immediately went back to the last full moon, the night everything changed. The fear and the chaos of losing control, it all felt too close, even weeks later. “Hey,” Isaac’s voice pulled me out of my thoughts. He fell into step beside me. “Hey, Isaac,” I said, forcing a tired smile. Lately, I haven’t been sleeping well. The nightmares had become more frequent. Every time I closed my eyes, I found myself running through darkness, chased by shapes I couldn’t see clearly. And when I woke up, drenched in sweat, it was as if my wolf had been running beside me. Sleeping felt more dangerous than staying awake. “You don’t look so good,” Isaac said, glancing at the dark circles under my eyes. “I’m fine. Just tired,” I said, giving him a small, reass
Chapter 12.Camryn.Yesterday had been weird but I hoped today would be better. I rushed through the hallways, my bag bouncing against my side, my thoughts scattered between classes and yesterday’s strange encounter. From a distance, I spotted Principal Parker, her sharp eyes scanning the hall.Panic shot through me. I didn’t want to deal with her today or any day, really but I knew I couldn’t avoid her forever. I ducked into an empty classroom, pressing myself against the door frame and holding my breath. The room was dark, almost comforting in its silence. I stayed there, silently counting my heartbeats, waiting for her to pass by. My stomach twisted with nerves. I had been avoiding the principal ever since that night she tried to speak to me and now after the incident yesterday she has been insistent on seeing me and I couldn’t hide any longer.Minutes passed, each second stretching out painfully. I let out a shaky sigh when I realized it was safe to come out. The relief was sho
Chapter 1 1. Camryn. It has been three weeks since I arrived at Lupinemere Academy. My parents had sent me here to make sense of what I had become, but so far, it had been nothing but strange behaviors, cryptic warnings and unanswered questions. The scar on my stomach still bothered me, I still don't know how it had gotten there. Could it have been that night? I didn't know for sure. Kian’s odd glances and weird stares, full of meaning I couldn’t decipher,and Principal Parker’s weird questions that night, it all made my life feel like a puzzle I couldn’t solve. I rolled out of bed that morning in a really bad mood. There was a restless energy inside me that refused to calm. My wolf stirred, quietly but insistently and it left me snappy, tense, and eager for some release. I needed a way to burn off the frustration building inside me before it overwhelmed me completely. Lectures were the worst. I sat in yet another classroom, eyes half-closed, listening to some old aged man
Chapter 10 Isaac. I walked into the forest clearing, the crisp air brushing against my skin, my heart was beating faster than it should. And then I saw her. Camryn. She was already there, sitting on the blanket I’d laid out, the gentle light of the setting sun on her. “Shit, I’m sorry I’m late,” I muttered, rubbing the back of my neck awkwardly. Normally, I could control my nerves but around her, I was a mess. My wolf stirred at the sight of her, alert, protective, and impossibly drawn to her. This was the pull I’d heard about, the mate bond. I could feel it deep in my chest, warm and insistent ever since that day in the hallway when I first set my eyes on her. I couldn't help but wonder, if she felt it too. Camryn looked up at me, smiling. “Oh no, I’m early,” she said casually. That smile, God, it did things to me I couldn’t name. My wolf shifted in agitation, my instincts craving to be closer, to mark her as mine, yet I forced myself to step lightly, careful not to overwhe
