A seat in front of Rex? I turned to the tutor, then to the empty seat in front of Rex. He was leaning back lazily, arms crossed, already waiting for me. The moment I sat down, I felt his leg push my chair forward. Once. Twice. Again. Like he was deliberately trying to get my attention. “What?” I whispered, slightly turning my head. “What are you doing here?” he asked. I rolled my eyes. “You asked me to sit. I was about leaving. I had no intention of staying.” “I know,” he chuckled. “That’s why I asked you to sit.” I took a moment to calm myself before turning back to the front, clenching my jaw. Human World Studies wasn’t what I expected. I thought it would be a core subject meant to understand human society better, maybe culture or interaction. Instead, it was worse. Today’s topic was about how wolves could live among humans without revealing what they truly were, It was Ironic. Humans weren’t allowed in their territory, yet they were studying how to walk around in humans ow

“WHAT!”I gasped. I had no words.Maltilda had just delivered Amber’s so-called message, and none of it made sense to me. Even Sebastian looked shocked.“It’s the Alpha’s orders. She cannot go against it,” Maltilda said helplessly.I scoffed before I could say anything else. Sebastian ran off.Turns out his mother’s health had worsened overnight, and now…the Alpha demanded that Amber move into the pack house. What shocked me even more was that she wanted me to come with her.“The Alpha wants the pack doctor, not me! I am not the pack doctor. Why does she want me to come with her?” I demanded.“I have no answer to your questions. I am just as shocked as you are,” Maltilda replied.I tried my best to hold it in. I really did but I couldn’t.“Is she trying to get me killed?” I grumbled as I walked away.Maltilda rushed after me, trying to calm me down. With so much bottled inside me, I needed to lash out, and the only person I wanted to direct it at was Amber. I didn’t mind marching to t

When I heard Amber say I had two choices and that she was tired of my whining, I took it as a perfect opportunity to finally get out of this pack. My chest tightened, my mind made up in seconds. I turned and dashed back inside.“Let’s talk about this… there’s a better way to get this done!” Maltilda said as I rushed past them. I wanted to grab my things and leave. I was going to find my way back to Centerville. I didn’t mind being stranded on the street. There was no way I was going to that pack house to get killed.“There is nothing to talk about! She already gave me an option! I will stop my whining and get out of her house! I hate it here anyway…!” I yelled back.“You are so ungrateful!” Amber scoffed.I was halfway upstairs when I turned and rushed back toward her. Maltilda quickly stepped in front of me, blocking my way.“What should I be grateful for? That you took me in when my father died?” I screamed, pushing my hair out of my face as my head shook violently. Strands of hair

“I just did what Amber asked me to do…” Just a few minutes in this house and I was already in trouble. I might even be butchered if the worst happened. “Why is she shaking like that? I did exactly what Amber asked me to!” I rushed toward the Luna, but Rex shoved me into a corner. “Don’t touch her!” he yelled. He turned and grabbed my neck. He wasn’t trying to strangle me, I knew that because of the way he was holding me. If he wanted me dead, he would have tightened his grip without hesitation, He was trying to threaten to me “Go and find Amber and let her fix this, or else you will not be alive to see the next sunrise! Get out!” he ordered. I didn’t need to be told twice. I rushed out of the room. I needed to find Amber, and I needed to find her fast. When I got to the road that led straight to the large room where the Alpha, his Beta, and some other men were seated, I knew it was wiser not to run. If I did, they would question me and once they realized why I was runni

They say the best way to get out of a lie is with another lie. Ordinarily, I’d agree but right now? I couldn’t lie my way out of Rex’s trap. I had to come clean. Not like I was going to say the truth , I was going to pretend.…It’s different from lying.“I do not understand you.”“What do you mean you don’t understand me?” Rex asked, still focusing on the road. I didn’t want to look at his intimidating eyes, so I kept mine fixed ahead too, pretending the view mattered more than the tension filling the car.“You said I lied to you the first time we met. I don’t understand what you mean….”In my head, I already knew what this was about. It definitely wasn’t about my secret, that much I could tell. It was about our first meeting, when I told him I wasn’t a wolf. I remembered it perfectly, but the only way out of this mess was either to pretend or create another creative lie.“Do you suffer from memory loss?” he scoffed.“Sometimes. You know what they say about weak wolves.” I shrugged, h
