Maxine's eyes fluttered open to a world of confusion. She lay on the forest floor, rough ground pressed against her bare skin. The dirt felt clinging to her body, and when she raised her quivering hands to her face, she saw they were stained with blood. Her breath caught in her throat as memories of the night before returned. No. no, this isn't me, she had whispered quivering, while her eyes had welled up with tears. I'm not like that. I didn't mean to. But the images were too vivid to deny. She remembered the way her body had contorted, the way her wolf was surging forth from deep inside her-a monstrous force she could neither understand nor control. And she remembered faces-Drake's face, twisted in pain as she tore into him. Guilt and horror twisted her stomach as she struggled to her feet, attempting to wipe off the blood and dirt clinging to her. The forest around her was still, silent, as if it held its breath while it waited to see what she would do next. Maxine shuddered

Alph tore through the thick woods behind the school, his quickened senses tracking the scent of Maxine. He knew the earthy smell of pine needles and dampened dirt, but beneath it all was something unmistakable-the trace of Maxine. Yet hers was different, stronger, more intense, tinged with a wildness as if the woods themselves were carrying her through the air, drawing him to where she had gone. "Maxine." Alph whispered to himself, his mind racing. He just could not shake off the picture of her earlier-the raw energy coursing through her veins, morphing. The emergence of her wolf was fierce and uncontrollable, like nothing he had ever encountered. He did know that Maxine was strong, but this. This was far beyond his expectations. He fought his way through a thicket of bushes, still reeling from the events that had just unfolded. "Coreen shouldn't have done that," he muttered under his breath, anger bubbling beneath the surface. Coreen had deliberately provoked Maxine into taking th

Chapter 35The sun had barely risen the next morning when the chirping of birds outside her window woke Maxine up. The soft golden light that filtered through thin curtains spread a warm brightness in her room. She stretched, as stiff could be from a journey the day before, and for a moment, forgot where she was. But as her eyes got used to the surroundings, memories of the time of arrival, words of her grandmother, and the responsibility that fell on her shoulders came rushing back.She dressed quickly in the simple clothes laid out for her by her grandmother, making her way downstairs to the scent of breakfast with the sound of her grandmother bustling around the kitchen: loose shirt, sturdy pants, boots meant decidedly for work and not comfort."Good morning, dear," her grandmother greeted her with a warm smile as Maxine entered the kitchen. "Did you sleep well?"Maxine nodded, even though in reality, her sleep had been restless, filled with dreams she couldn't quite remember. "Yes

The day of graduation buzzed in the courtyard at Hampton University. The warm sun filtered its way through the trees, casting various patterns of light on the students gathered to celebrate their achievement. Yet, despite the joyful atmosphere, Alph felt that no amount of applause or cheer could fill the hollowness in his chest.He had stood on the fringe of the crowd, his arms folded across his chest, as he watched the ceremony progress. Pride and relief bathed the familiar faces of his classmates, but his eyes scanned elsewhere for that something-or someone-he knew wasn't going to be there. The absence of Maxine clung to him, an inescapable reminder of how everything changed since the incident.On stage, the principal of the university started to cough; his voice rumbled through the speakers. "Graduates, today marks a major milestone in your life," he began in a formal, yet warm tone. "You worked hard, faced challenges, and now stand at the threshold of the future.Alph barely liste

The sun fell into the horizon and spread soft shades of gold all over the sprawling grounds of Hampton Annual Hunt. This was the exclusive event in which students coming from every nook and corner of the city gathered at the grand entrance gates of Hampton Estate and chatted excitedly with each other. The Hunt was a very famous event reserved only for wolves and their friends and a few lucky humans who got in to view the spectacle. But to the wolves, it wasn't a game. It was a test of skill and strength and cunning combined.The cramped pathway buzzed with anticipation as Alph strode right down the middle. The impact of his presence was immediate: conversations died mid-sentence, eyes went wide, and heads craned, all focused on the towering figure of the Hampton Pack's alpha.“Is that… Alph?" the girl whispered into the mass of people, her voice barely more than a hum over the murmuration of excitement."Oh my god, it is! Alph from the Hampton Pack!" another girl gasped, tugging on he
