Lucas POVShana encouraged me to text Professor Black as soon as possible. I knew it was midnight, and Shana had just shifted, but I texted him anyway.Immediately after I had sent the message to him, I anxiously awaited his response. Fortunately, he didn't make us wait long.I was surprised he was up at this hour, but he wrote back saying that he would clear his schedule, recognizing the urgency in my words. He invited Shana and me to his office tomorrow morning on the community campus.I told Shana to try to get a good night's sleep because we had a big day ahead of us tomorrow."Honestly, I don't know if I'll be able to sleep tonight," Shana confessed, keeping herself planted on my bed."You say that now, but I don't think you realize how exhausted you truly are." I studied her. "Do you feel sore?"She nodded. "All over.""Once you lay your head down on your pillow, sleep will take over. You need to rest."She groaned and sighed at the same time, rising from my bed. "I guess you're

The professor's intense gaze remained fixed on me as if trying to fathom the depths of my experience.I wondered if he had a wolf himself. Was there any part of my history he could relate to?He leaned forward slightly, his voice soft but probing, "Shana, how do you feel after the shift?"I hesitated, unsure of how to put into words all the profound changes I had felt and endured.My gaze shifted to Lucas, seeking his encouragement. His hand immediately found mine, his fingers intertwining with mine in a comforting gesture that reminded me he didn't view me as a monster.He squeezed my hand as if urging me to speak."I... I feel different," I finally admitted, my voice barely above a whisper. "It's hard to explain. There's a strength, a power that surges through me. But it's also a frightening feeling... like I've tapped into something I can't fully control."Lucas nodded in support. "When Shana shifted, I tried to help her gain some kind of control, but she wasn't able to hear my alp

Lucas tightened his hold on me as I snuggled further into him on the couch.I was about to close my eyes and drift off for a quick nap when I realized how silent the house was.Suddenly, my thoughts took a turn as I embraced the possibility.“Is Grandma Jo here?” I asked Lucas softly, as I turned to face him.Lucas was silent for a moment, listening for any kind of sound. When nothing came, he shook his head.“She’s probably at her yoga class.”I smiled, imagining Grandma Jo with all her old lady friends in the 80s workout attire. Even though she was retired, she still managed to get herself up and moving.She went to yoga almost every single day and always came back in an excellent mood.“How much time until she’s back?” I asked Lucas innocently.He opened his mouth to answer, but when he saw the mischievous look in my eyes, he squinted. “Why are you asking me that? And why are you looking at me like that?”“Looking at you like what?” I batted my lashes.“Oh no. You’re trouble,” Luca

I had to drive to school separately from Lucas since he had left earlier this morning for hockey practice.Waking up, I felt refreshed and much stronger mentally than I had in the last two days. However, I felt a little odd driving myself to school without having Lucas by my side.The car ride was filled with the echoing silence that seemed to amplify my apprehension.A sense of nervousness gnawed at me as I parked my car in Shadow High's parking lot.For weeks, we had arrived together, and now, going in alone felt strangely unfamiliar. I wasn't used to this.I exited my car and entered the school grounds, weaving my way through the bustling crowd of students. I wasn't oblivious to the hushed whispers that followed me as I walked through the hallways. It was impossible to ignore them.I tried to train my ears to hear some of their conversations, and I surprised myself when I could actually catch onto a few of the things people were whispering about."Where's Lucas?""Why isn't he with

Instead of waiting for Lucas outside of the hockey locker rooms after school as usual, I decided to wait beside my car.I needed some fresh air after the exhausting day I’ve had today. It had been a little too much with everyone’s stares and whispers. It was like they followed me around all day.I texted Lucas earlier to let him know that I’d be in the parking lot, and he messaged me back saying he would rush to get there as fast as he could.I scrolled up to our earlier text messages and reread his message.Lucas: Maybe we should give them a show later to remind them we're still together.A cool breeze of wind hit my warming cheeks. I hated that he could affect me so easily. It was just a message."Boo!" A deep voice, filled with amusement, suddenly sounded from behind me, causing me to jump in surprise.I spun around to find Lucas standing there, a mischievous grin on his face."You scared the life out of me!" I exclaimed, my heart still racing from the unexpected fright.Lucas chuc
