บททั้งหมดของ The Human Among Wolves: บทที่ 61 - บทที่ 70

“The Midnight Call is a ritual done at the very last minute before the Autumn season begins. At midnight, a ceremonial horn is blown from the tower. All wolves must drop whatever they’re doing and step outside. We are divided into groups, and each group must return with the horns scattered around the school walls, Here’s the twist, the horn isn’t high-pitched, but because it resonates with wolf blood, it doesn’t travel through air… it travels through instinct.”Anastasia explained it with wide, excited eyes, her hands moving dramatically as she spoke.I just stood there, trying to wrap my head around what she had said. No matter how hard I tried to understand it, it didn’t make sense.“So… are you saying humans can’t hear the horn?” I asked, genuinely curious, trying to piece it together.Anastasia burst into laughter, clearly not expecting the question. When she realized I wasn’t laughing with her, she cleared her throat awkwardly.“I mean… duh. It’s a wolf pack. Rules are made for w

I froze.Was he talking about me?Why was he looking at me like that?Did he just call me beautiful?I was too stunned to speak. My mind was screaming for me to say something — anything — but my lips refused to move.“Lily… Rex… What a surprise.”Matilda’s voice broke the tension.I blinked and stood up immediately as she walked toward us.“Do not be late for hockey practice…” Rex said to me, his tone unreadable, before turning and walking off without another glance.I watched him leave for a second longer than I should have.Then I turned to Matilda, who looked like she was trying to process whatever she had just walked into.I quickly rushed to her side and helped her with the books she was holding while she unlocked her office door.“What is going on between you and your hockey captain?” she teased as we walked inside.“Something weird just happened…”She laughed lightly. “Something weird is always happening with you.”I sighed and dropped into the chair across from her desk.“What

After hockey practice, I took off my skates and started rushing toward the garden to meet Sebastian, but Rex stopped me. “Where are you going?” he asked. I turned to him and gave him the why do you care? look. “I’m meeting Sebastian…” I replied. Rex nodded slowly. He didn’t look interested, though, so I turned to continue walking out. “Thank you for your help…” I added quickly before rushing off. As I stepped out of the rink, I took a deep breath and paused for a moment, even as other students brushed past me. My chest was still rising too fast from practice. “You look like you had a bad practice session…” Sebastian’s voice came from behind me. I raised my head and looked at him. He had such a bright smile on his face that I couldn’t help but smile back. “I couldn’t wait, so I decided to come get you…” he said. “Awww…” I teased lightly. “Get out of my rink passage!” Rex shouted from inside. Sebastian scoffed. “He is such a dumbass…” He grabbed my hand and led me toward t

Avoiding Roy hasn’t been so easy for Maltilda. She had stopped her usual afternoon walk around the garden because Roy’s office was around that area.She didn’t want to run into him now that she still hadn’t processed what he said the last time. There was nothing she had to say to him this time. Nothing at all.Today, her office was unusually hot. The ventilation in her room was not helping, and the air felt thick and suffocating. She thought maybe she needed to take a run, and maybe later after school she would take her wolf for a run too.“Do you want to jump out, Sky?” she mumbled trying to communicate with her wolf while she gulped down the water from her glass, wiping the corner of her lips with the back of her hand.Her wolf stirred faintly, restless just like her.“I need to take a walk… why am I isolating myself? Don’t let him control you… he is in your past, don’t you ever forget that….” she said to herself as she stepped out of her office, straightening her blazer like she wa

Anastasia led the way again, She was holding the map that looked like it had been folded too many times, making sure I was actually paying attention to the places Lustre had marked out for me. She didn’t rush through it like it was nothing important. She explained each spot carefully, pointing at corners and shelves and spaces I would have normally ignored if I were just walking by.“This corridor,” she said as we stopped near the west wing, “looks plain, but the lockers at the end have loose panels. People forget to check properly because they think it’s too obvious, This is why it is important .”I nodded, trying to picture myself running through here at midnight, It was sending me chills . “And this storage room,” she continued, pushing the door slightly open. “It smells terrible, so most people won’t stay long. That’s why it also matters. If you can endure it for five minutes, you might find something others missed, I got at least 3 horns from here last time ”I laughed softly.
