I was almost arriving at the podium when I felt someone grab my wrist, stopping me from moving any further. “What are you doing?” Linda asked in a hushed tone, looking down at my claws. I jerked my hands away from her slightly strong grip, shaking them to make the claws go away. “Nothing, I just-” I looked back to the podium and my eyes met Lavender’s, staring directly at me, even as she stood beside Damien who was still speaking. “I just need some breathing space, I’ll be right back.” I said before walking past her, out of the hall. I did not want to believe I almost thought of walking up to that podium and sending those sharp claws into Lavender’s chest. I see, a little bit of control is changing my thinking. I ran up the stairs, to head up to my room where I can have a little bit of quiet time and talk to myself before I do something I might regret, but unfortunately bumped into someone. “Sorry-” I wanted to apologize as usual but stopped when I looked up to see no one else but Ma

We returned back to our spot after a few hours of playing around in the woods."Omg, that was soooo fun." She screamed, sitting on a lot of wood. I froze when I heard footsteps walking into the woods, still quite far away though. But I could hear it closely, probably because I was still in my wolf form."Shit, you have to shift back in your human form." She must've heard it too, because she immediately stood up, already alert.Shit! How do I shift back?! This is my first time doing this and I have no idea how any of this works out. Thankfully, after a few deep breaths to calm myself down I finally did it, standing on the ground completely bare. To make things faster, Linda grabbed my clothes and pushed them to me. In less than a minute I was already dressed, brushing my fingers through my messy hair, trying to make it straight. Surprisingly, Noah showed up right where we were, like he was here searching for us. "There's a ceremony going on." He began speaking as soon as he was stand

“Are you sure about this?” I asked as soon as we were seated in the car, I didn't really like the idea of leaving the pack. What if we get into trouble over there? Or even trouble with Damien?“You worry too much Bella, no one would find out, only if we don’t tell anyone, no one at all.” She spoke and without a second thought, ignited the car engine and drove away, heading outside the pack.Minutes later we were already past the pack, driving through the streets of the big human city. “You sure you know where you’re going?” I asked in concern, noticing she has been driving through a particular street over and over again.“Yes, I just wanted to be sure about something, well here we are.” She muttered as she stopped in front of a library, staring outside the window. “This is definitely it, so much changes to confuse me, come on let’s go in.”“Okay,” I unstrapped the seat beat around me, ready to leave the car when she suddenly yelled.“Wait!”“What is it?” She did not give a reply yet a

Bella's POVSoon we arrived back at the pack, making sure to find out way back to Linda's house without getting seen by anybody. I plopped down on the sofa, letting out several pants and closed my eyes, trying to catch my breaths."Are you okay?" Linda asked in concern as she sat beside me. I could feel her boring into my skin, but I didnnot reply at first, waiting till I was quite calm."No, I'm not! There's no way I'd be." I replied after a few minutes, placing my hands on my chest. There were blood stains on the coat I was wearing, making me realize how much I was bleeding. "It's fine Bella, we lost them and thankfully, we're safe now." "What?! Lost them?! Or killed them?!!" I flared up in anger, placing both of my palms on the side of my head. My hands were trembling, I was hell scared of what I did, this would be the first time I'd ever kill anyone by myself and not be controlled by the stealer wolf. And it's the worst moment of my life! Why did I even speak in the first place?

"But.... But how could they? We haven't been in contact with the humans for so long, how?" I went utterly confused, wondering how they were able to find us or even figure out we still existed after all their efforts to make us go extinct."Alpha I heard they found two wolves in their city, that must be the lead they got." Anger flared in me immediately he replied. Who the hell left the pack secretly just to go look for trouble for me? Especially from the hunters!!"Gather as much information as you can, George. We'll work on security here for now.""Yes, Alpha." He replied before finally breaking the link.Being in trouble with the Russian armies was one thing, one easy thing. But being in trouble with the hunters? That sounds like a never ending problem. I know how bad they are and how they grew from just mere wolf hunters to some kinds of scientists, capturing wolves to make painful experiments on them.I did not want to think of what would happen if they attacked us first, with the
