Alex had sharpened his perception to the point where every movement and sound felt amplified. He sprinted toward the marked line.

Ruth reacted fast she drew her bow in a blur and released an arrow. Alex heard the string snap and recognized the sound pattern instantly; the arrow wasn’t aimed directly at him yet, so he kept his eyes closed and pushed forward.

Halfway there, he felt that sharp targeted sensation in his gut danger. He swerved, hand snapping up to catch the arrow mid-flight.

Just as he predicted, the spot he’d guessed would be hit exploded in a blinding flash. But it didn’t affect him; he’d braced for it.

Without slowing, Alex crossed the line.

Ruth stared at him. This isn’t normal… she thought. He shouldn’t just be able to do that. It takes months of practice… unless… did he acquire the Wolf’s Legacy?

“Ruth! Ruth!” Ray called, but she didn’t respond. She seemed locked in thought.

Alex was confused too. Wasn’t she supposed to keep shooting? Why did she suddenly sto

    “What the hell are you?” he whispered, wide-eyed.Alex didn’t answer. His attention suddenly shifted as he heard a series of cracking sounds—bones snapping, twisting.He turned quickly.The werewolf he had just beaten down was shifting again. But this time, it wasn’t into human form—it was into a full, mid-sized wolf. Sleek and agile, the wolf let out a sharp growl before darting into the woods.Gone.The beast vanished into the trees with incredible speed—way faster than when it moved on two feet.“Shit,” Alex muttered.He cursed himself for letting his guard down.He turned back and spotted Douglas running in the opposite direction, panic fueling his steps as he rushed to his jeep."Great. Just great. Another damn problem," Alex muttered under his breath.He rushed back to Caleb, who was lying on the ground, starting to wake up. Alex knew he couldn’t stick around to explain anything.He turned and sprinted out of the woods.---Back at the car, Alex found Layla still in the passenge

    I need to use the restroom,” she said lightly as she passed by.Ray stood up and hurried after her. “Daisy!” he called, but she continued walking.Once she entered the restroom, Alex followed and gently held her shoulder.“What?” Daisy asked, frowning.“You’re mad,” Alex said softly.“So?” Daisy shrugged, trying to hide it.“It doesn’t suit you. You’re better when you’re… calm,” Ray said, still holding her hand.Daisy kept quiet, though her frown softened slightly.“You know I’m not into Katherine,” Ray added.“I don’t know…” Daisy hesitated.“Im not into her it’s you I care about. Not her,” Ray blurted out, almost without thinking.Daisy’s eyes widened, and a soft blush appeared as the words sank in.Daisy wasn’t listening anymore. She had already heard what she wanted to hear, even if he didn’t see it exactly as she had imagined. It was better than nothing. She moved closer and kissed Ray on his lips. Ray felt fireworks exploding in his mouth. He didn’t expect Daisy’s sudden action

    No wonder! No wonder! Ruth became visible again, her mind racing with thoughts. She truly didn’t know how powerful the Wolf’s Legacy was, but she could sense it—it was stronger than any normal power. Right now, she was starting to understand its depth. It was… tempting."What do you mean?" Alex asked, growing more curious."My father told me," Ruth began, her voice low, "the Alpha Devouring Touch is one of the Primordial Alpha’s powers. With a single touch, you can absorb another’s power, become immune to it… or completely devour it, so the victim can never use it again. And you can even return it, if you want."Alex and Ray’s hearts pounded in their chests. It was terrifying, almost unimaginable."But to you, it’s a double-edged sword," Ruth continued. "If your body can’t handle it, it will kill you."Alex stayed silent, listening intently."Alex," Ruth said firmly, "do not ever attempt it until you become an Alpha. Do you understand?""Yes," Alex nodded."But what happens if he does

    Three figures ran at full speed and stopped in front of an old warehouse. They stepped inside carefully—two females and one male. Ruth was one of the females; the other two were her friends.The stench hit them first: blood, decay, and death. They rounded a corner and froze. Bodies lay strewn across the floor, covered in blood. Ruth’s eyes locked on the man who had fallen to the ground after Duke had removed his claws from the man’s stomach.“Duke! What the hell did you do?!” one of the females shouted.Duke’s voice was calm, evil even, as he kicked the body aside. “Relax. I did this for everyone. It’s simple—you kill us, or we kill you. I chose the latter.”“You just started a war between the hunters and the werewolves,” Ruth said coldly.The people Duke had killed were hunters sent to negotiate with the werewolves, to set boundaries and prevent further bloodshed. But Duke had ignored it all, killing his own allies. The male hunter stared at the two women beside him, helpless.“No… y

    The hunter behind the first one who had died noticed his comrade was gone. Panicking, he alerted everyone and fired his gun toward the break where he suspected the enemy was.Bang! Bam! Bang! The gunshots continued for a while before silence descended. The hunters were at the brink of collapse, realizing they had enemies waiting outside. Confused, they didn’t know what to do.The choice they made was risky, but they had no other option—they had to try.“Everyone, move out at once!” Calvin commanded. They charged outside.“Retract for now!” another command was shouted. They rushed toward their vehicles—and then everything exploded.Boom! Boom! Boom! Three of their SUVs blew up, the blast sending some hunters flying back.“Arrgh!” They crashed heavily onto the ground, groaning in pain. Wounded and disoriented, they scrambled, trying to regain control.“Look out! It’s on the cliffs!” one hunter shouted, warning the others. Suddenly, a shadow flashed past them. Everyone brought out their

    Ding. A message appeared on Alex’s phone from Raymond: “Alex… she’s gone.”Alex froze, his expression hardening. He tried to speak, to explain, but his voice faltered. Mrs. Laurel noticed the change.“What is it?” she asked.“Nothing…” Alex muttered.“Pass me the phone.”“But—” Alex started, hesitating.“The phone. Or you can keep me company all day,” she interrupted, raising an eyebrow.Fine. Alex handed the phone to her. Mrs. Laurel read the message, her expression calm, and handed it back.“School hours are almost over. It’s not surprising she left him,” she said. Alex realized she believed it too. One less explanation to give—he felt a small relief.“Can I go now?” he asked. Mrs. Laurel waved him off, signaling he could leave.Alex wasted no time rushing out. The bell rang—school hours were over! Ray’s plan had worked perfectly. They had spread rumors of Alex and Ray being at school to make their absence believable, avoiding suspicion. Everything had gone smoothly… until now.Alex
