IsobelI nodded and hesitantly opened the car door, taking a seat in the passenger seat. My heart raced as I boarded. The car's interior screamed extravagance, surpassing even the luxuries my Aunt Lydia possessed. The driver donned in a black suit, maintained stoic silence throughout the journey. His lack of conversation heightened my anxiety, and I found myself fidgeting at the hem of my shirt. The plush leather seat beneath me felt too luxurious for someone like me.As the car glided outside the university borders, my mind swirled with apprehension. I took a deep breath, attempting to steady my nerves, and closed my eyes. In the silence of the car, my thoughts became a violent whirlwind of fear and uncertainty."Please, let this end without harm. I've been a good wolf since birth, following the rules imposed upon me. I am only doing this for a friend. Please, spare me from anything evil tonight.”The memory of my mother waiting for my return until summer lingered in my thoughts. I c

IsobelI walked from the cafe to school, my thoughts consumed by my date with Ryle the other night. Memories replayed in my mind like the song "Midnight Wolf," distracting me from everything happening around me. I spaced out so much that I hadn’t realized I reached my locker.Despite the warm morning sun, my mind was elsewhere, full of questions. I wondered if what transpired last night was real. I couldn’t wrap my head around how a brute wolf like Ryle Vanderberg could transform into a gentle wolf in less than twenty-four hours. It felt surreal.Approaching my locker, Scott's excited words broke through the quiet morning.“Isobel!! Good news!! My scholarship is back!”My face lit up with joy. “Really? How come?”Scott enthusiastically shared what happened but with a bit of stutter. "Turns out, there was a mistake yesterday. They meant to cut support for another student, not me.""I'm so happy for you, Scott," I said, unable to hide my joy. Without thinking, Scott gave me a hug, and w

IsobelEver since I started hanging out with Ryle Vanderberg, my once-calm life turned chaotic. Things became even more complicated when rumors about us dating spread across campus. It became challenging to concentrate with all the attention I was receiving. Ryle openly acknowledging the dating rumors triggered various reactions.His fans didn't take it well; they speculated wildly about me using sorcery or black magic to control Ryle. Since nobody knew much about where I came from, they assumed I belonged to a group involved in sorcery and witchcraft. I just laughed it off and didn't pay much attention.Another group of students was surprised at how someone as plain and ordinary as me could attract the most handsome guy on campus. They thought it would make more sense if I were as beautiful as Kendra. Some students just wanted to know more about who I am or if I came from a powerful family. As for the rest, I stopped listening to the rumors to find a bit of peace.During lunch, I ate

IsobelThe sun bathed Silver-U in its warm glow, and the air was filled with the lively chatter of students and distant bird sounds. The freshness of the surroundings was complemented by tall trees and vibrant flowers lining the paths. It was such a lovely morning, indeed, and it had already lightened my mood.As I strolled through the campus, something peculiar grabbed my attention. The typically unfriendly glares and hostile expressions from my fellow students, which had been a routine part of my mornings, were strangely absent. Even Lucy and her minions, notorious for their daily taunts and bullying tactics, walked by without acknowledging my presence. I braced myself for the anticipated onslaught of insults, but to my surprise, Lucy deliberately avoided eye contact, behaving as if I didn't exist. Her minions followed suit, diverting their gazes as they passed me. The unusual shift in their behavior left me feeling perplexed, but I pressed on towards the locker room, wondering to m

IsobelI silently observed Ryle while he engaged in a conversation with the Beta of Jade Pack.“I hope we have enough time to catch up with things. But my friends and I are here for a school project. I hope you don’t mind the bother,” Ryle explained.The Beta shook his head and exclaimed, “Come on, Ryle. Don’t be so humble. It is our honor to have you here in our pack. I’ll gladly help in any way I can. I’m happy you and your friends are studying hard for the future of your packs.”Scott and I were happy to hear this. Finally, we found someone who was willing to help us with the school project. We didn’t waste any time and grabbed our things to start the interview. However, Ryle stretched his arms and stopped us from getting near the Beta. Confused, Scott and I stared at Ryle.“I know you couldn’t wait to start this project. But you must realize the Jade pack has certain rules,” Ryle explained.Scott asked Ryle about the specific rules he was talking about, and I was curious to hear t
