Otis's POVI walked into the empty class I knew very well that the other pack members must be waiting in. It was sort of our hideout where we hang out when we ditch classes."Hey Otis, just mentioned your name a few seconds ago man" Dylan bellowed when he noticed me enter the class.They were playing cards and therefore surrounded the table in the middle of the room. I walked casually to one of the couches and flopped on it, a mischievous smirk on my face."What's the use of trying so hard to win Greg? you and I know that Benson will be the victorious one at last" I commented, staring at Greg who was focused on the cards in his hands.Benson, the witch chuckled lightly. I was right after all, Benson never misses an opportunity to use his powers in seeing that he wins any game."You got it all wrong right there man, you seem to have forgotten about the tricky elf over there" Dylan laughed."Marc!!" We all called simultaneously, staring unbelievably at the little man as he tried to swi

I froze, my breath caught in my throat as the pair of red eyes gleamed in the darkness. The presence lurking in the shadows sent shivers down my spine, and a sense of impending danger washed over me. I had stumbled upon something I shouldn't have, and now I had to face the consequences."Who's there?" I repeated, my voice more firm this time, trying to hide the fear that threatened to consume me. But the figure remained silent, only the eerie red glow of its eyes piercing through the darkness.My mind raced, considering my options. I could try to run back the way I came, but I didn't even know if that was the right direction anymore. The woods were vast and unfamiliar, and the last thing I wanted was to get even more lost. On the other hand, staying where I was meant facing the unknown entity in front of me.Summoning my courage, I took a step forward, my voice steady but laced with trepidation. "Show yourself! Who are you?"As if in response, a low, guttural growl reverberated throug

Nyx’s POVI prepared for school the next morning sluggishly. I was worried about many things, my performance in Narek’s class topping the list. As a matter of fact I wasn’t able to get an animal for the experiment like Narek instructed and so was worried I will get on his bad side, again.A sigh escaped my lips as I sat back on my bed dejectedly. Narin was already up and scrolling mindlessly on her tablet, her mood wasn’t all that great too and she was quiet as usual. My mind wandered back to the terrifying dream I had the night before and cold chills ran down my spine.I was the centre of attraction in that dream, not because I was dressed gorgeously or because I changed my hair colour or something of that sort. I was a different person entirely.My hair looked longer, healthier and it seemed like I had wings with my eyes blazing with fire. I was powerful, too powerful that the students and teacher started to call me cursed.I didn’t blame them though, I was looking too terrifying

Nyx's POVI barged into the nearest restroom and dashed straight to one of the cubicles, slamming the door shut behind me."Transformation? What stunt is Aunt Gacia trying to pull? She knows very well that I can't transform, yet she insists that every student must be in attendance" I thought hard about what to do to escape from the impending peril that was about to befall me, but nothing was forthcoming.I pulled my hair in frustration, "This is a disaster. What am I going to do?" I groaned, pacing around in the small uncomfortable space.I began to imagine the faces of everyone in school staring at me because I was not able to shift too. The shame of walking into the hall the same, with no special appearance. I am going to be ridiculed for sure."Maybe I should force my wolf out," I thought and instantly bent on all fours. I tried to focus on shifting with thoughts of my wolf emanating from my body, but it was all in vain. Instead, I was sweating profusely with no change in my fea

Chapter 48Nyx's POVI followed Narek back to the ancient temple, the book he had given me securely placed in my arms.My legs were starting to hurt from standing too long but I was too grateful to my teacher for saving my ass to complain.Narek didn't say a word to me and just walked ahead silently while I trudged behind, the urge to rest my tiring bones nudging at the back of my head.We finally got into the temple and I exhaled sharply."Keep the book over there" Narek pointed at a small table in the corner of the room. I walked towards the direction he pointed at and dropped the book as he instructed. My side eyes caught sight of my reflection in the mirror beside the table and a sharp gasp escaped my lips."What's the problem, Nyx?" Narek's concerned voice came from behind as he started approaching me.I turned back to the mirror, and the image, it was gone. I was staring at myself and not at the strange girl from my dream."It... It's nothing," I stuttered and began to dash f
