LOGINGabriel’s P.O.V.“You should have brought her to the hospital instead of here, Gabriel.” Herman grumbled while glaring at me. I called him right after I got a mind-link from Sylvester.Now we were standing outside the infirmary. Sylvester was still inside with her. She was unconscious but agitated all the way to the school and calmed down after Herman injected something into her.“We can’t take her to the hospital at any cost from now on, Herman. What happened last time has already spread all around. So many people are watching our every move, waiting for her wolf to show up at any time.” I explained the reason to him in a stiff voice.Herman still glared at me but sighed in the end. He put his left hand on his hip while rubbing his forehead, clearly troubled with the situation with Sheryl.“It will be better if she doesn’t go to the royal pack in her current state, Gabriel. I guess, her wolf can be stimulated by any means, an… and today it was the voices in the forest. Her animal ins
Raymond’s P.O.V. (Continued)“On the south end of the forest, close to the school. Sylvester is coming there.” I informed him while running faster than I could.I was shocked but I had no time to dwell on my shock. I could run while mind-linking him. This is not possible. Only Sylvester and Gabriel could do this.How could I now?“Is she still unconscious?” Gabriel asked me angrily.“I really don’t know what happened to her, Gabriel. She suddenly went for hunting, her body shift…. Shifting weirdly. H… her limbs turned into paws, a… and her mouth turned into snout b…. but h… her clothes remained intact.” I ranted everything frantically, excited by my run and the situation with mind-link.“Take her to the school infirmary.” He instructed me and cut off the mind-link. I groaned in frustration.I wanted to tell him that I am running while talking to him through mind-link, but he was in such a hurry to cut off the mind-link.For some reason, I was enjoying this run. I was still holding her
Sheryl’s P.O.V. (Continued)“It’s not you.” I replied to him in a low voice. He jerked his head backward while looking at me curiously.He was both confused and curious but I had no explanation of what I said.“My wolf is restless, but I don’t know why. My birthday is in a few days. You tell me. Did you also feel this restless and weird before your birthday?” I asked him, trying to make sense of my wolf’s condition.We reached the outskirts of the forest. The Alpha made some trails inside the forest for us to jog or to run at any time of the day.Still running wild without any restrictions is what a wolf loves the most.He sighed aloud while looking towards the forest. I waited for him to answer me while doing some stretches.After all, my motive to come here is to take a long run, not to stand here and then walk back home.“Everyone experiences different kinds of feelings when they are about to shift for the first time, Sheryl. Your wolf has already shifted once. The emotions that tr
Sheryl’s P.O.V.“Keep your hands steady, Sheryl. Hold your chin a little high and aim bullseye.” Mr. Nester commanded me in a firm and loud voice.I narrowed my eyes to the middle of the target board at good distance of 70 meters. I breathed out through my mouth before shooting the arrow.“Bullseye.” Reena exclaimed excitedly while clapping hard. I smiled and slowly moved my face towards Mr. Nester.He wasn’t looking impressed. His face rigid, his lips pressed into a thin line, and his eyes had a complexed gaze.I sighed internally.“What I did wrong this time, Mr. Nester?” I asked him calmly while taking another bow from the bucket.“Your shoulders were tensed, and for two seconds, your body leaned by a mere angle of 10 degree when you need to stay straight. Your elbow dipped a little before I commanded you.” he replied coldly.I nodded in response and looked at the bow and arrow in my hands. “I guess, I should take a short break before resuming my practice.” I mumbled and slowly put
Gabriel’s P.O.V. (Continued)“The key point of this oath is that you will lose your wolf the very next second; you will break the oath and hurt an innocent person. Everyone here took this oath in front of the Moon Goddess with the help of a sacred ritual. So, speak your mind freely and tell us whatever you know, Gabriel.” Noah reminded me in a stern voice, demanding the answers.I didn’t understand why he wanted me to tell everyone about Sheryl here. He also can tell them. He is also a part of our pack. So, he knows everything that happened in the past fifteen years.Both incidents in which Sheryl’s wolf showed herself saved the pack members, but she got hurt to the extent that she was declared dead once.“So, we need to tell them what exactly happened during that particular time interval, especially about her. She is in grave danger, Gabriel, and you need to understand that. Just like our researchers, there are more labs out there that keep track of these kinds of changes too.” The w
Gabriel’s P.O.V. (Continued)“Come in, Gabriel.” Mr. Sterling asked me to come inside before I could knock on the door. I took a deep breath and opened the door.I saw him standing at the bookshelf behind his chair. I moved back and locked the door from inside.Mr. Noah Sterling, an alpha by blood, but not from our pack. He came to our pack fifteen years ago.His blue eyes signalled me to follow him. He opened a secret door hidden behind the bookshelf.Without uttering a word, I followed him. I closed all the links with everyone. This was something that I needed to do before going inside that secret tunnel.“What happened?” I asked him calmly as soon as the tunnel door closed behind us after we entered the tunnel.“Our researcher found something strange around our pack. They have been trying to find the source of that particular strange source of energy that suddenly appeared around our pack a week ago, ummm… I assumed it was the day of the challenge.” He replied to me, but I stopped
