GINGER

During my first week of school, I was surprised to find I didn’t miss Tyce as much as I would have expected. Sure, there were moments when a random ache would settle in my chest and I’d long for his presence. Nights felt lonelier. My sleep was lighter and more restless than it had been before I left. Mornings sucked. I’d wake up disoriented, half-expecting his scent to linger, only for the realization to settle like a weight in my chest. The bed felt colder, too big. I’d reach out instinctively, expecting his warmth, only to be greeted by empty sheets. But I kept moving forward.

My full courseload kept me too busy to dwell on much outside of school. Between Intro to Organic and Biochemistry, Human Anatomy and Physiology, Chemistry, and Ethics, I barely had a moment to breathe, let alone think beyond my assignments, exams, and endless notes. By the end of the first week, I was already drowning in homework, my was planner overflowing, and my nights were consumed by studying.

Gigi, don’t trust her. You remember the scent because she is probably from the pack of the guy you stabbed. Be careful.

  • Wolfbitten   Chapter 111

    THERESAGigi gritted her teeth, her eyes burning a molten red as she focused on the metal bars in front of us. The icy air hissed and crackled as her flames licked the frozen steel, the grates slowly turning a dull orange under the intense heat.I pressed my shoulder against the gate, muscles straining and claws digging into the frozen ground as I shoved with everything I had.The metal groaned.I felt it shift—just barely—but enough to make my heart leap. I braced my paws, shoving with everything I had. The bars shuddered, bending just a fraction more. But it wasn’t enough.Gigi gasped. Her breath came out in short, ragged pants. Her eyes flickered with exhaustion setting in. The flames sputtered and weakened.After another agonizing attempt, I stumbled back and shook out my limbs, trying to ignore the bone-deep fatigue creeping in. Gigi sagged against the metal, panting hard."I need a break," she mindlinked.I let out a deep breath and nodded. She was right. The fire had done some

    TYSON“Now,” I said, my tone shifting. I flooded Joe with as much alpha aura as I could dole out, knowing I’d need it to hold for a longer period of time. “Go find Terri. Get inside the pack’s territory. Don’t get caught.”Joe grimaced, and his body bowed under the force of my command, neck instinctively baring in submission. His face contorted in agony as he fought the pull my command had on him. Then, with a strangled breath, he spun on his heel and took off down the road, his instincts dragging him like a hound on a scent trail.We stood in silence, watching him until his figure disappeared into the distance.I clapped my hands together."Well," I smirked, turning to Nikolai, "seems like Plan Moose Kaka was a success."Nikolai snorted.I grinned and pulled out my phone, my smirk widening when I saw the new notification waiting for me.Keira: Look who always comes crawling back for more ;)I quickly typed my response.Tyce: Meet at our usual spot in 20I shoved my phone back into my

    TYSONJoe trudged ahead of us, his posture stiff with resentment while Nikolai and I strolled behind him. We skirted the forest, sticking to paths as trekking through knee-deep snow wasn’t quite as easy in our human forms as in our wolf ones. His entire body radiated bitterness, and honestly, I couldn’t blame him. If I were in his position, I’d be the same. But that didn’t mean he didn’t deserve what he had coming."Will this even work?" Joe grumbled.Nikolai shrugged. "It had a fifty-fifty success rate back in Ukraine.Joe’s steps faltered. His face blanched. "What?""Well, it’s a hundred percent chance that you’re rolling in it. So I’d say your odds aren’t looking great,” I taunted. “And let’s be real, at this point, the only thing keeping you alive is your usefulness to us.”Joe muttered a curse under his breath but kept walking, probably debating whether survival was even worth it at this point.Luckily, moose were abundant in Anchorage, so it wasn’t long before we stumbled upon e

    NIKOLAII had seen that look before. I knew it instantly.Tyce’s entire body went rigid. His breath caught in his throat. Something unseen, tragic, passed through him. His fists clenched into balls, and his face twisted, eyes squeezing shut as he braced against it. Then, just as quickly as it came, it was gone.He blinked a few times, then collapsed into the hotel chair like his legs had given out.“Tyce?” I approached him cautiously.For a moment, he looked lost. Like a child searching for something just out of reach, grasping for answers that wouldn’t come. Vulnerability flickered across his face.Then, his expression hardened.“Sophia’s dead,” he said in a flat voice. With a heavy sigh, he dragged a hand down his face.I stared at him. “Dead?”“Dead,” he repeated. His jaw clenched so tight a muscle twitched beneath his cheek. “Fuck.”“Fuck,” I echoed, the weight of it settling over us like a dark cloud.Tyce let out a loud exhale. “Terri’s hysteria… that must be why. It has to be.

    THERESAI searched the guards’ bodies quickly, sniffing until I found a key in the pocket of the first man I’d killed. The size of it told me it had to be the gate key. There was no possible way it would fit into the cuffs around our limbs. I put it aside and continue my search.But I came up empty-pawed. The only other keys I was able to locate were very clearly house and car keys. Which did us no good.They hadn’t brought the keys to unlock our chains.I let out a frustrated sigh. It probably would have been useless anyway. It wasn’t like I had great fine motor skills in this form. I couldn’t even see an obvious way I’d be able to unlock the gate in this form. And the cuffs were still wrapped around my legs, with chain links hanging from them, preventing me from being able to shift into my human form.I locked eyes with Gigi.We were going to have to burn her chains apart too. I mindlinked her my thoughts.She gave me a nod, though I could see the exhaustion in her stance. She was s

    THERESAThe sound of approaching voices sent a jolt of urgency through my body.“Gigi, stay quiet. Act normal,” I mindlinked, my body going rigid as my ears flicked toward the entrance. “I’m going to pretend I’m still chained.”I hurried back to my original location, and quickly arranged the chains and myself to appear as if I were still bound.The heavy gate creaked open, scraping against the ground.Two guards stepped inside, the scent of their sweat and stale breath clinging to the cold air around them. They weren’t cautious. Weren’t paying attention. They weren’t expecting anything.The taller one, a stocky man with a thick brown beard, carried a metal tray with more dog food and water.The other, a wiry-looking man with red stubble, muttered something under his breath as he picked up the untouched bowls in front of us.The stocky guard placed the new bowls in front of us. “Eat up, bitches.”I didn’t move, didn’t even react. I waited.They turned their backs.In one swift motion,

    GINGERI was creating flames. They flickered from my eyes, heat radiated outward, melting the frost-laced ground in front of me.Terri’s mindlink came again, stronger this time. “Gigi. Your eyes. What the heck was that?”My pulse hammered.“I don’t know,” I admitted, stunned.“Do it again.”I hesitated, my heart pounding. She lifted herself slightly. Suddenly, she wasn't drowning in grief. She looked… hopeful.I squeezed my eyes shut. What had triggered it? What had caused the fire?Sophia. Her screams. The way her body crashed to the ground. The way the guards had just looked on, unaffected, amused.The heat surged again, filling every inch of my body, curling behind my eyes like an inferno ready to burst. Dread and anguish bubbled in my chest and stomach, boiling me from the inside out.Flames poured from my eyes, hotter, stronger, melting the frozen ground in front of us into mud.“Holy cannoli!” Terri’s voice rang through the link in a mix of shock and wonderment.I panted, strugg

    GINGERI didn’t know what to do. I didn’t know what to say. I felt truly, utterly helpless.After the howls stopped, long after they’d taken Sophia away, Terri fell into a heap and hadn’t moved since. She just lay there. Her body was eerily still while her eyes stared out into nothing. Comatose.I could still hear the snap. Still picture the way Sophia’s body had hit the ground. Still hear the sound the axe made as it severed her cervical vertebrae. Still see the guards dragging her away. That moment would be forever burned in my mind. While I thought I’d gone through a lot in my life, nothing had even come close to what I’d just witnessed.My stomach twisted with a sickening realization. When Sara had tortured that man—the one she had captured and interrogated for answers—I had hesitated. I had tried to convince myself there had to be another way. That torture wasn’t necessary. But now?If I had known, if I had witnessed something like this first, I would have done it. I would have c

    THERESABeside me, Gigi let out a feral growl, yanking violently at her chains. The sound of metal clanking against metal rang through the cave, but it was useless. We were trapped. Forced to watch this brutal exercise in cruelty.They hit her. Kicked her. Broke her bones. Over and over, they battered her like she was nothing.When that didn’t work, they brought out the knives. Cut into her flesh. Took pieces of her.I had witnessed torture before. My father had made sure of it, forcing me to watch from a young age, trying to desensitize me to violence. I had been exposed to it over and over again, pushed past the point of repulsion, forced to stomach it. But this? This was different.Because this was Sophia.My best friend. The person who had always been there for me, who had held me together when I was falling apart, who didn’t deserve a second of this.And I could do nothing.I retched at one point, but there was nothing left inside me. Just bile. I hadn’t eaten for days.I didn’t
