Phoebe.“Remember—deep breath, no tension! Alpha and all the high-ranking wolves are here to watch your first shift.”Mom’s warm hands combed gently through my shoulder-length brown hair. Just hearing her voice calmed me down a little, even though my stomach still felt like it was full of jumping beans. My eyes kept darting toward the stands where Dad sat, right next to the Alpha of our pack.If it weren’t for this annual event, I’d probably be in my room right now, blasting music or bingeing some cheesy teen drama. But being a she-wolf in the Mystic Guardian Pack came with certain… obligations. Like proving I was finally old enough to be taken seriously—by shifting for the very first time.Honestly? The whole thing felt like a freakin’talent show. And up until today, I’d been lucky I couldn’t shift yet.

He grinned, his gaze still locked on mine, intense and unyielding. Slowly, I edged to the side, trying to slip away.Finally free, I walked aimlessly, my throat tight with the curses I wanted to hurl at Zion but couldn’t. My fists clenched in frustration as I tried to calm my anger towards him.I needed fresh air; I could barely breathe just moments ago. Facing two strange men left me craving a mental break."Hey, Phoenix."I turned instinctively at the sound of my name, seeing Finley approaching with a warm smile, a stark contrast to how he had been earlier."I congratulated you in the group chat, but you didn’t respond.
