I looked around at what appeared to be a hut but was made out of bricks and concrete. It was small, with nothing but a simple futon in one corner and a table in the very middle with two plastic water bottles on it.I quickly leapt towards the water, goddess knows how parched I an right now. I broke the seal and smelled the water before taking a swig. When I was sure nobody had tampered with it, I downed the whole thing in one go.I went to the futon and inspected it. Wasn't anything special...the frame was made out of simple wood but the bedding looked worn out.I went up to the door and gently pulled it by the handles towards me. It was locked...so bad that I couldn't even giggle it if I wanted to. I felt along the wall to the left of the door...feeling for anything, any sort of pipping or fitting in the walls I could use as a weapon.But seeing as there is no bathroom in here, I wouldn't find any plumbing.There were not light bulbs in here...just very small holes at the very top of

Callan's POVAnais told me to find Paenoe's office but I had no clue where that was. I'd seen the map her team made but I couldn't spot any buildings they described which is why I just aimlessly ran around for hours.I was running down an avenue when a hybrid jumped on me from my left. It took me a minute to finish her off. I was annoyed, these creatures kept me from my search for my mate.Once I had finished the hybrid that attacked me, I changed into my human form to catch my breath. I looked around but everything was still strange to me.I ran down the avenue in my human form, breathing heavily, covered with blood and sweat. Where was she??But then her scent hit me all of a sudden. A wave of relief washed over me like pouring rain and without wasting another moment I ran towards it. I turned right from the avenue, expecting to find my battered mate from her fight with Kajokh but the scene in front of me rendered me motionless.I couldn't believe what I was looking at. Anais, half

I woke up from my sleep panting deeply and drenched in sweat."Anais" I heard my mate's voice and turned my head to look at the same worried expression I saw every morning since the day of the war which was exactly 3 week ago."I'm fine" I breathed out but clearly I wasn't fine. This has been going on for way too long and I could see that even Callan had stopped believing my 'I'm fine'."What did you see?" He asked gently...maybe he was trying not to set me off."It was the same...flashes of my fight with Paenoe" I said and sighed. I was getting tired now. Paenoe dying should've brought me peace but here I was still troubled and not being able to get back to normal life."I-I saw the moment when I ripped his head off...I grabbed his limp, almost unconscious body and bent down to wrap, what felt like my wolf jaw, around his neck" I slowly recalled the dream...I felt bile rise up my throat as for some reason I could almost taste his blood in my mouth."My fangs dug into his skin and the

"Dad tell her to calm down" I said as I looked up at my troubled looking father who was already gazing down at me with concerned eyes.I was currently kneeling in front of our sofa, as my mother and father sat on it."Shut your mouth before I shut it for you" My mother said angrily."What were you thinking Ani? Trying to change into that weird monster! What if you ended up hurting poor Theodore? What if you ended up hurting yourself??!" My mother wailed."Mom I am a grown person! I had it under control! You saw it yourself!" I exclaimed. Why is she being like this??! Yes it was dangerous but I considered all of it before I decided to do it. We warned the pack members not to enter the training ground while I was there and Theodore volunteered to help me! I didn't force him!"Everyday you do something more dangerous and stupid!" My mother spat angrily. "And you Alpha! How can you let my daughter put herself in danger again!?" My mother turned to Callan, who still looked shook at what wa
