Catori watched the throng of students leaving the school. It was closing time and she was waiting for Erica and Kelvin. This had become a habit for three of them. On days that they were allowed to stay until school closed for the day, she came to more or less, pick them up so that the three of them could walk back to the fashion agency together. They are taking longer than usual today, her wolf said. Yeah. I wonder what's keeping them so long, she replied. She would have gone in to find those two herself but since she found out that Cassie also schooled there, Catori had made the decision to stay as far away from her as possible. "I'll kill those two for keeping me here for a longer time than I expected," she muttered to herself. Her phone rang. She picked the call without looking at the caller ID. It would have still made no sense to do that as the brightness of the sun was too much. 

Catori pushed him off her. "What the hell was that supposed to mean?!" she yelled, panting. "That was to show you how much I lo…" "Don't you dare try to complete that statement," she warned, cutting him off. She hit his chest in annoyance and stormed out. Luckily for him, Kelvin did not follow her. "Hey Tori. What happened? Why do you look so angry?" Erica asked her when they met up at the entrance. "I can't talk right now but you need to talk to that friend of yours," Catori said to her. She clenched her fists tightly. Erica watched her storm away from her. Kelvin walked out of the library building calmly. "Kelvin, what happened back there?" Erica asked him as soon as he came into sight. He did not say a word to her. "Kelvin, I asked you a question." He just continued to walk. Having no choice, she fell in step with him. Her mind raced, wondering what

Zayna smirked when she came back and met Fenris and Catori in the position they were in. "Hey lovebirds," she said in a sing-along voice. "How are you enjoying your time together?" "Just shut up already," Fenris said, still not able to face her. She clutched her heart area dramatically. "Oh my goodness, dear brother Fenris. How could you say such to me?" she said. He ignored her. Meanwhile, Catori was laughing at the pair of them. "Anyway, should we get going or do you want to win her more teddy bears?" Zayna asked with a smirk. "What did I ever do to you?" he groaned. You finally admitted that you have feelings for our mate, that's what, his wolf said. Fenris ignored him and looked around, anywhere but at the two girls he came with. "We might as well leave though. We have a busy day tomorrow," he suggested. Catori nodded in agreement. "A

Zayna continued to snap her fingers in Catori's face, saying. "Wake up, Catori." The redhead jerked up from her sleep. "What the hell…?" she started as she took a look around her. "It was all a dream?" "Well, obviously. You were asleep for such a long time and you kept turning around in your chair like someone was after you," Zayna said. She sounded more annoyed than worried. "Oh. Sorry," Catori said as she bent her head in shame. "I can't believe that I was terrified because of a mere dream." Zayna took her seat beside Fenris. "What did you dream about?" Fenris asked her with interest. "Nothing…it was nothing," Catori said slowly. Fenris stared at her for some time, not ready to buy the idea but he decided not to push her into talking. "Are we ready now?" Zayna asked them. "Ready for what?" Catori asked her. 

Don't do it, Catori. Control the urge. Don't let these feelings get the better of you. You are stronger than that. Are you hearing me? These were the words Catori's wolf said to her. Catori did her very best to heed her wolf's advice. The cold liquid seeped into her cotton gown. Catori kept resisting the urge to tear that lady from limb to limb. She felt her teeth elongate. Without bothering to look at the face of her annoyance, she silently turned away from Max and left the makeup studio. Kelvin almost bumped into her as she left the artists' studio. "Catori?" Kelvin called after her but she increased her pace, looking for a bathroom or just any tangible place to hide. She diverted into the team room which was close by. Her fur was growing out. "This is a problem," she said out loud. Footsteps could be heard coming in the direction of that room. Panicking, Catori checked the keyhole but there was no key in it. She hastily began to push one
