CHAPTER 21A GIFT“Did you say something?” Titus turned around upon hearing Selena’s voice. “No, I didn’t,” Titus responded. “You look all dressed up. The gown suits you perfectly.” Selena found a mirror and gazed at her reflection. “It’s not awful. It suits me,” she said, meeting Titus’s eyes. “I’ll take my leave now, Mr. Alpha.” “Don’t call me that,” Titus gritted his teeth and rolled his eyes. “Goodbye, Mr. Alpha,” Selena repeated as she walked to the door. Titus scowled, leading the way into the living room. Suddenly, he halted, surprised by an unexpected presence. “Max Terry?” Selena called in a hushed tone. “Hello, brother,” Terry said with a smirk. As Selena moved away, Max noticed her. “Brother? Wait, was she the sister you mentioned?” Titus briefly glanced at Selena before focusing on Max. Max looked at Selena with a frown and quickly stood up. “Brother, what’s she doing here? Do you know her?” Titus asked Max. “I know her, all right,” Max said, folding her arms as she f

CHAPTER 23A SECRET WITH FRIENDSDalett broke the silence, and Selena turned to face her. She let out a sigh. "Last night, guys, was the worst night of my life." I’m not sure how to put it, but I told you once that a wolf appeared to me in the school bathroom mirror, right?" They both nodded as she continued. "During yesterday’s red moon, the wolf returned, and I assumed its form."Dalett suddenly burst out laughing. "I find it difficult to believe you would make up a story like that." Look, we believed you when you said you were bitten, and then you abruptly left without telling us where you were. And now you’ve taken on the appearance of the Wolf you saw in the mirror? There is a better story you can tell than that.""Her name is Estry and she is a white wolf.""Estry?" Trisha inquired. "Selena, Estry is supposed to be black." She took a deep breath before returning her attention to Selena. Deeply inhale, then slowly exhale. "I believe you are already under a lot of stress." "I’m t

CHAPTER 25ESTRY: LUNA’S WOLF“Yes. She is in your class. Truth be told, I’ve heard that you guys treat her like a social outcast. Which is unfair, in my opinion.”Selena appeared to be lost. “Which student? Everyone who attends this school is treated equally.”“Max is not, I suppose.” Of course, Max! Why is she constantly hearing that name? “So, Max is to be a part of the group? Why is that? We don’t need her.” “See? This is what I am talking about. You would not have made a comment if it had been a different student. I knew it was true and not just a rumor when I heard about the case about Max.”As she sat back in her chair and folded her arms, Selena laughed. “I don’t understand why you want her to sign up. We are good, after all, and we always bring cups home. Nothing will change even though Max is on the team. We’ll just end up being overpopulated.” “No, Selena, I don’t believe so. No, especially not now that you’ve been lacking.” “What do you mean?” Selena let go of her grip

CHAPTER 27 ENQUIRY INTO LUNA NORA She rushed over to the bed, swiftly lifting the sheets to uncover a meticulously arranged file. Grasping it firmly, she unfolded the contents and examined several reports, though they weren’t the information she sought. Determined, she scanned for the name and location of the hospital. Once finished, Selena returned the file to its rightful place, neatly tidied the bed, and silently retreated to her room. As the door creaked open, Dalett and Trisha swiftly scurried into Selena’s closet, seeking refuge. “Guys,” Selena whispered, calling their names, and they cautiously emerged from their hiding place. “I’ve found what I was searching for,” she said, mindful of their mother’s presence downstairs. Trisha approached her with concern. “What’s your plan now that you’ve discovered it? Please don’t tell me you intend to go there.” “I’m heading there,” Selena responded resolutely. “You see, it’s the only way I can uncover the truth about my father’s fate.

CHAPTER 29THE ATTACK Selena hurriedly rushed towards her friend, her eyes filled with a mix of anticipation and concern. Without wasting time, she focused her attention on the computer screen, eager to uncover the truth that lay within.“I have a strong feeling that they conducted the test right after they transported him to the hospital,” Selena speculated, her voice tinged with a sense of urgency. With a determined click, she accessed the report titled “Mr. O’Brien’s Autopsy,” hoping to find the answers she desperately sought.“Homicide?” she exclaimed, her gaze shifting towards Trisha, seeking confirmation and solace in the face of the unsettling revelation. Leaning over once again, she scrutinized the intricate marks and diagrams that adorned the body in the diagram, captivated by their significance. Alongside them, she found detailed explanations, like breadcrumbs leading her closer to the truth. According to reports, she read, “The injury on my father’s body is deeper, and hi
