Olivia’s POV

When I reached my room that evening, a deep unease settled over me. The walls felt too close, the silence too loud. As much as I tried to reassure myself, the fear bubbling inside me was relentless. I didn’t want to be alone tonight.

“Lisa, can you stay with me?” I asked softly, trying to keep the desperation out of my voice.

She looked up from her phone, startled by the urgency in my tone, but she didn’t question it. “Of course,” she said, nodding.

I couldn’t explain it, but

    She couldn’t cross the holy circle where she had been laid. I turned to the priest, wondering what was truly happening to her, but he was still deep in the middle of the spell.“When has a werewolf ever had to answer to a priest?” the man beside me said, resting a hand on my shoulder. “Her powers are going to be controlled by him.”He looked at Olivia with eyes gleaming with greed. A chill moved through me. I couldn’t shake the feeling that he wasn’t trying to help her at all. If anything, it felt as though he was here to destroy her.“How long will the ritual take?” I asked. It already seemed far from over.“For it to be complete, it will take more than two days,” he replied as he walked toward the priest.Patting the priest lightly on the shoulder, he looked back at Olivia, then turned to me.“You know what to do next,” he said. “Let’s go, Adrian.”I hesitated.I should follow him, but Olivia...I couldn’t leave her here. Would she be all right?My eyes returned to her, still trappe

    Adrian’s POVFor a week now, I hadn’t seen her anywhere on school grounds. Her dorm window had remained shut the entire time, and I couldn’t go through the main gate.Boys weren’t allowed into the girls’ dormitory.I missed her more than I wanted to admit.“Oh, lover boy. You miss your girl?”The voice came from behind me. I turned and saw him—the same man who had told me I needed to submit her to our clan.“Tomorrow is the deadline, Adrian,” he said. “You have to bring her in.”I looked back at him, my jaw tightening. “I can’t. I love her too much. I don’t want any harm to come to her.”He let out a soft laugh and patted my shoulder. “If you don’t want to submit her, then I’ll take her myself. Either you do it willingly, or we get her ourselves.”“How dare you?” I shouted, grabbing him by the collar.“She’s part of our clan, Adrian. I won’t harm her,” he said calmly, and I slowly let go.“You’re scared I’ll hurt her?” he asked with a laugh. “I only want to help her—help her out of he

    My dad carried my mom in his arms, rushing her to the clinic. I followed a few steps behind, my legs trembling as guilt weighed heavily on me. **Why did I explode like that?** The question burned in my mind, but no answer came. I couldn’t understand what had happened, and the more I thought about it, the more the panic clawed at my chest.The moment we stepped outside, I felt the weight of their stares. Students lined the path, their eyes fixed on me, whispers spreading like wildfire. I could feel their judgment, their confusion, and their fear. **It’s my fault,** I thought, my heart sinking further. **It’s all my fault.**Among the crowd, Lisa’s familiar face appeared. The moment she saw me, she pushed through the others, her hands reaching out to cup my tear-streaked face. Her warmth, her softness, was a small comfort in the chaos.“Don’t worry, Olivia,” she said, her voice calm and soothing. “Your mom will be alright. I’m here with you.” She pulled me into a tight embrace, her arms

    I glanced at my mom, her expression soft but tinged with concern. I couldn’t bring myself to tell her. Not about the nightmares, not about what was happening to me. There was no need; someone else would do it for me. And that someone would undoubtedly be Lisa. The thought made me smile, a small, sweet smile that brought a flicker of comfort to my chest. Lisa had always been more than a best friend—she was my confidante, my anchor in the storm. Time and again, she proved her loyalty, her kindness, her unwavering support. Having someone like her in my life made my heart swell with joy. Even in moments like this, when everything felt like it was falling apart, I could count on her. “Olivia,” my mom said, her voice breaking through my thoughts. I turned to meet her gaze, her clear blue eyes searching mine with a mixture of doubt and worry. She didn’t believe me. I could see it in the way her brows knit together, the way her lips pressed into a thin line. But I smiled, forcing a calmnes

    "I never expected you to like it," Martha said, her voice laced with a sincerity that felt…rehearsed. It was a performance, I realized, carefully crafted to project an image of remorse. But behind her eyes, I saw something else – a flicker of triumph, a hint of calculation.I stared at her, a knot of confusion tightening in my stomach. Was this genuine? Could Martha, after all the veiled insults and petty sabotage, actually be feeling regret? Or was this just another layer in her intricate game?"After all the drama that happened between me and you, you still hold no grudges against me?" she continued, her tone almost pleading. The words hung in the air, a challenge and an accusation all rolled into one.I forced a smile, a carefully constructed mask of forgiveness. *Hold no grudges?* The thought echoed in my mind, bitter and ironic. *I'm not ready to strike yet. But when I do, you'll know it.*"All those are bygone," I said, my voice steady despite the turmoil inside. "This is a new

    The sterile scent of antiseptic clung to me as I walked out of the hospital. Collins was a constant presence, a shadow flitting at the edge of my vision, ever since my father had signed the discharge papers. He’d been there through the stilted small talk with the nurses, the awkward shuffle to the car, and the silent drive back to the dorm. My father dropped me off with a curt nod, a silent promise to return soon, leaving me to face whatever awaited me behind that familiar door.The moment I pushed it open, I gasped. It was like walking into a dream – or perhaps a carefully constructed trap. My dorm room, usually a study in organized chaos, had been transformed. Garlands of flowers draped across the ceiling, their vibrant colors a stark contrast to the pale walls. Petals, a riot of reds, pinks, and whites, carpeted the floor, swirling around my bed in a fragrant, dizzying display. My name, "Olivia," was spelled out in meticulously arranged petals on the duvet.My first instinct was to

    "You’re lying to me, Olivia," Mr. Lawson snapped, his voice sharp with anger. His eyes glared down at me like twin blades ready to cut through my weak excuses. I flinched as he raised his cane, its shadow looming over me. My breath hitched, and I shut my eyes, bracing for the sting.But it never ca

    The next day, I walked into the school compound, heading straight to my classroom. I knew I was supposed to report to Mr. Lawson’s office first—his words from last night had been crystal clear—but I couldn’t bring myself to care. Not yet. There was something else I needed to do first: see Arden.Bu

    The hallway felt like it was closing in as Olivia walked out of the classroom, her steps hurried and uneven. Behind her, Lisa trailed, tears streaking her face. Olivia’s eyes flicked toward me for a moment as they passed, but there was no recognition—just a hollow glance, like I was a stranger. So

    The cafeteria air hung thick with the aroma of stale pizza and simmering gossip, a noxious blend that mirrored the sour taste in my mouth. Talia's triumphant smirk, a fleeting flash of victory before she trailed after Arden, replayed in my mind like a broken record. *Dating*. So, that was it. The p
