The night swallowed me whole as I walked away from Blood Moon College towards the forest, I could still hear the laughter from the party loud and clear.Each step echoed with memories I wished I could tear from my heart, Derek’s laughter when things finally went right, his desperation when they didn’t, the way he once looked at me like I was his entire world.Foolish, my wolf snarled inside me. You gave him everything.“I know,” I whispered under my breath.The forest was quiet, unnaturally so. Even the wind seemed to hold its breath. My senses sharpened instinctively, my wolf rising closer to the surface, her power thrumming beneath my skin like restrained lightning.I was not an omega.I never had been.Derek chose Claire.Of all people in Blood Moon College, it had to be her.The girl who had made my life miserable from the very first day I stepped onto campus. The girl whose laughter followed me down hallways, whose whispers turned into cruel rumors, whose eyes always held contemp

Leah POVThe next morning at Blood Moon College felt strangely normal.The sun was already high when I walked through the main gates. Students moved between buildings like they always did some laughing, some half asleep, others rushing to avoid being late for class.If someone had looked at the campus from a distance, they would think nothing had happened. But I could still feel it.The quiet glances.The whispers that stopped when I walked past.Word had traveled fast after the party and also about what happened yesterday at the corridor.I kept my shoulders straight and continued toward the main building. Avoiding people would only make things worse, and I refused to give anyone the satisfaction of seeing me hide.Inside the hallway, a crowd had gathered around the announcement board.That alone was unusual. Normally the board only held routine notices, class schedules, club meetings, and pack events.Something about this one had drawn almost half the hallway. Curiosity pulled me cl

Leah’s POVBy the time I reached the administration building, the campus was already more crowded than usual.Students stood in small groups along the stone walkway leading to Crescent Hall. Some were holding application papers, others were arguing quietly about rumors of where the shareholder president might appear.Everyone looked tense.I walked up the wide steps calmly.Inside the building, the atmosphere was even more serious. Several tables had been set up near the entrance where school staff were checking application forms before allowing students to proceed further.A long line had already formed.I joined the back of it without drawing attention.In front of me, two boys from the combat training class were whispering.“I heard Claire’s father arranged something with the dean.”“Of course he did,” the other replied. “If anyone gets that signature, it’ll be Derek.”The first boy nodded.“He’s probably already submitted his application.”I said nothing.My bag rested comfortably

The moment Derek and I reached the fork in the forest path, we both started running. Neither of us said a word. The wooden marker was tight in my grip as I followed the path Maya had guided me through earlier. Leaves crunched beneath my shoes, and branches brushed against my sleeves as I moved quickly between the trees.“Leah, what’s happening?” Maya’s voice called faintly from the forest edge.“I found the marker,” I replied between breaths.“That’s great,” Daniel said. “Head straight back toward us.”“I’m already on my way.”A few steps behind me, I could hear Derek moving just as fast. His pace was steady, confident. He clearly knew the direction he was heading. For a moment, I considered taking a different path, but Maya’s instructions were still clear in my mind. The safest choice was to follow the route we had already planned.Sunlight began to appear between the trees ahead—the forest edge.“Leah, we see you!” Victor shouted from somewhere outside the trees.I pushed forward th

The next morning at Blood Moon College, the atmosphere had shifted. The raw, buzzing excitement of the previous day had distilled into a heavy, quiet anticipation. The students gathered near the main hall were no longer just spectators; they were witnesses to a cull. The first stage had already begun its work, thinning the herd and reminding everyone that in this competition, elimination was a cold, constant reality.Leah walked toward the gathering participants, her pace steady. She noticed the change in her peers—some were isolated, buried in their notes, while others huddled with their teammates in low, urgent whispers.Victor was the first to spot her. “There you are,” he said, his eyes scanning her for any sign of the morning’s tension. “We thought you might be late”.“I’m not late,” Leah replied, her voice a calm anchor.Daniel checked his phone, a habitual gesture of precision. “Five minutes early, actually”. Beside him, Maya clutched a notebook. “I’ve been trying to guess what
