ELIAS’S POVTwo hours before the curfew patrols would start their rounds, I sat on the edge of my bed with my phone glowing faintly in my hand. I had been deliberating if I should go ahead with my plan or should I leave nature to run its course?After several moments of hesitation, I clicked on Gabriela contact and typed out the message.Me:Can we meet in the school lounge tonight? I need your help with something.Gabriela replied almost immediately.Gabriela:Wow, you have never texted me like this before, this must be serious. I’ll be there.I stood up from my bed and grabbed my jacket. I was about to head out when Rowan’s voice stopped me.“You know there's a curfew in two hours, right?” He asked. “You can tell whoever the girl is to wait till tomorrow.”Even though he tried to act nonchalant, I could feel the jealousy radiating off him. I didn't bother to respond and just walked out of the room.I was trying to keep my distance from him but he was making it difficult. I was count

ELIAS’S POVBy the school hours began, the entire academy was already on fire. Rumors were moving faster than wolves in full sprint.By the time I stepped into the hallway, whispers followed me from every corner.“She attacked her because she was seeing Elias behind her back.”“Did you hear Gabriela almost died?”“Selena finally lost it.”“Good riddance if she gets expelled.”“Elias looks better with Gabriela though, Selena is just an obsessed bitch.”“I hope Gabriela gets well soon.”I clenched my fists as I walked past clusters of students pretending not to stare. Some looked at me with pity, others with accusations. A few with excitement, like this was nothing more than entertainment.Selena’s name was dragged through the mud, mocked and ridiculed openly. But what unsettled me most was how easily people had decided on the narrative without even confirming the story. The hate on Selena was so strong that they quickly made Gabriela the innocent victim and Selena the unhinged Alpha f

ELIAS’S POVThe academy felt quiet and heavy after the Alpha of Moon Hollow and Nightbourne arrived at the school premises. It was as if everyone was holding their breath, waiting to see how things would end.After Gabriela’s parents arrived, along with Selena’s brother, the council convened immediately. No students were allowed anywhere near the hall, but news travelled fast at Mortlach. By the time the morning classes were over, everyone already knew the basics, only the details were missing.Gabriela would be sent home for more professional treatment while Selena managed to escape being expelledOf course, the students were angry about Selena’s punishment and claimed that Gabriela deserved justice.During the break, the SU members except Gabriel were eating in the cafeteria. We agreed not to meet since Gabriel was busy with the issue since he was allowed into the council meeting with his parents.“I'm dying to find out why Selena wasn't expelled because it actually makes no sense t

ELIAS’S POVWhen I returned to my room, the first thing I noticed was Rowan pacing around the room. His hands were clenched into fists and his jaw was tight as he moved back and forth with his head down.He didn't even notice me until I announced my presence. “Rowan?” I called.He raised his head so fast that it startled me. For a split second, pure fear flashed across his face before he covered it with a smile that didn't reach his eyes.“Elias, you're back.” His hands trembled and he quickly hid it behind him.My eyebrow raised in confusion as I shut the door and stepped closer to him. “Are you okay?”“I am,” he nodded eagerly as he avoided my eyes.“It's written all over your face that you are lying.” I grabbed the trembling arm that he was hiding behind him and he clenched his fist to control trembling but it didn’t stop. “Rowan, you are not fine. Tell me what's wrong.”He quickly yanked his hand away from mine. “It's really nothing. I just wanted to tell you that I lied about eve

ROWAN’S POVAs I pinned down one of the attackers, he fought back harder, almost overpowering me which left me confused.No rogue could be as strong and trained and it was obvious he was not an Alpha.No other forms of wolves were stronger than the Alpha wolf, so what were they?I slashed his legs and escaped from his hold. My eyes searched around for Elias to make sure he was okay but then I noticed something odd.He pinned down one of the attackers and then froze. They didn't fight each other, they just stared at each other as if they were in trance.Then all of a sudden, he pushed Rowan off him and they all retreated in a coordinated manner.I felt more unease than relief as I watched them leave. Something was definitely wrong.Everyone began to shift back to their human form but I stayed in my wolf form a second longer, my eyes scanning the treeline where the last of them disappeared before my gaze shifted back to Elias who was also in his wolf form.“Rowan.” I turned as Adrian ca
