THE MYSTERY WOLF

Ember's POVThe first thing I felt was heat. Then the smell of smoke.I knew I was hot but this hot? My eyes snapped open—holy crap, where was I? Trees everywhere, like, full-on “lost in the woods” situation, and I’m just chilling on some random rock. The moon? Just hanging up there looking smug, the stars were doing their twinkly thing, right in front of me, fire blazing away, crackling and spitting sparks. So that’s probably why my hands were all warm and sweaty. My teeth would have chattered in the cold air, but my palms?Total sauna situation. Doesn’t really add up, huh? And I noticed I was barefoot. No shoes, which seemed so not me.All right, all right. When I opened my eyes after closing them, I found myself in the same spot. Even tried to pinch myself, seemed hella painful. Okay, where the hell am I?I was with Darius in the clinic. That's the last thing I remembered. Not walking into the middle of the woods, barefoot and alone, lighting a goddamn bonfire. Even my dress, I

POV: GayleI was going to lose it. Like, actually lose it.The hideout smelled like old socks, cheap whiskey, and whatever ungodly cologne Felix had decided to bathe in today. Seriously, who wears "Alpha Dominance" on purpose? The irony was lost on him.I sat at the rusted metal table in the middle of the room, twirling my pen over a torn notepad, trying not to dry heave from the stench and the stress. Mostly the stress, though. Probably.“Gayle, can I just unload the circus going on inside my skull for a sec?” Felix blurted, shattering the silence like someone just crashed a cymbal at a library. He was pacing—again. That was his favorite pastime now. Pacing and screwing up missions.“Mm, lemme guess,” I said, not looking up. “You think the moon goddess is sending you secret messages through cereal brands?”He didn’t laugh. He never did.“I think,” he said, pausing for dramatic effect because, of course, he did, “we’re being set up. This whole thing feels off. That witch woman—our 'le

Darius' POVMy eyes snapped open and I winced in pain.Big mistake! I shut them back.The lights in here are way too much. It’s like my whole body just hit the panic button—all my nerves screaming bloody murder. Every breath felt like swallowing shards. All I could think was, crawl under something and disappear. Kept telling myself, “Relax, you’re fine,” but—yeah, my brain just laughed in my face. My eyes popped open—and the whole room just started spinning like I’d hopped on some busted carnival ride. The walls blurred together, everything all topsy-turvy, like I’d been underwater forever and just shot up for air. Total mess.The light stung—ugh, it was brutal—but eventually things became focused. I tried to move, just a little, maybe my head or my arm, and —another shot of pain, even worse than before. It wasn’t just pain; my whole body went on strike. My skull felt like some rock band was throwing a concert in there, all drums and chaos. No way I could keep going like this.I le
