All Chapters of Wolf Academy: The Silver Blood: Chapter 21 - Chapter 30

I left the laboratory with one question following me.What are you?I hated it. Mostly because Matteo wasn't the first person to make me question the answer. I was human. I had been human yesterday. I was human today and I was getting very tired of everyone at Wolf Academy suggesting otherwise. I needed air. So instead of going directly back to my room, I headed outside. Yes, Luca had told me not to go anywhere alone. But it was the middle of the day. Students were everywhere and I wasn't going to spend the rest of my life hiding because Luca told me to lock a door. The path behind the older academy buildings was quieter. Probably exactly why I chose it. I walked slowly, trying not to think about blood without a scent, disappearing cuts, Alpha auras or silver wolves. For almost two minutes, it worked. Then I heard footsteps. I kept walking. No. Absolutely not. Not today. My neck had suffered enough. I refused to turn around. The footsteps came again. Except... I slowed. They weren't b

The wolf's eyes never left mine. Not Matteo. Not his claws. Me. I stood behind Matteo, staring at the enormous animal between the trees. A few minutes ago, I had watched Matteo turn into a wolf. I had touched him. Buried my fingers in his fur. Called him beautiful. I hadn't been afraid. But this was different. This wolf didn't belong here and somehow, I knew he hadn't found us by accident. Matteo moved farther in front of me.“Stay behind me.”Normally, I would have argued. I didn't. That alone scared me. The wolf took one slow step forward. Matteo's claws extended.“Don't.”A growl vibrated through his chest. The wolf stopped. For several seconds, neither moved. Two predators staring at each other. Except the stranger still wasn't really looking at Matteo. His eyes kept returning to me.“Why is he staring at me?” I whispered.“I don't know.”I was getting very tired of those words. Then the wolf moved. Matteo immediately shifted his weight, ready to attack. But the wolf didn't come c

By the time we reached my room, I was exhausted. Not physically. Apparently my body had decided falling from a walkway wasn't worth being tired over. Mentally, though? I was done. I stopped in front of my door and turned around. Rafael was standing on my left. Matteo on my right. Neither moved. I looked at Rafael and then Matteo. Then Rafael again.“You know Luca said I shouldn't be alone. He didn't say I need two bodyguards.”“I'm not your bodyguard,” Matteo said.Rafael glanced at him.“Good. Then leave.”Matteo smiled.“After you.”I closed my eyes. Of course.“I am literally standing in front of my room.”Neither answered.“I have a lock.”Still nothing.“Walls.”Nothing.“A door.”Matteo leaned against the wall.“Very impressive room.”“Thank you.”I reached for the handle.“Good night.”Rafael suddenly went still. I noticed immediately. Mostly because I'd learned that when a wolf suddenly froze around me, something annoying usually followed. His eyes narrowed. Then moved to Matt

The training ground slowly emptied. Violet remained where she was. Rafael's words still echoed in her mind.Whatever our wolves see when they look at you... they see the same thing.She didn't know what that meant. She wasn't sure she wanted to.“I’m going to my room,” she said.“I'll take you,” Rafael replied immediately.“So will I,” Matteo added.Violet looked from one to the other.“Absolutely not.”Matteo raised an eyebrow.“Luca said you can't go anywhere alone.”“He didn't say I need two Alphas following me everywhere.”“One would be enough,” Rafael said.“Agreed,” Matteo replied. “I'll do it.”Rafael turned toward him. Violet closed her eyes.“No.”“Viole..”“Anna!”The girl stopped several meters away and turned.“Yes?”“Are you going back inside?”Anna nodded.“Perfect. I'm coming with you.”Violet looked at Rafael and Matteo.“Problem solved.”Neither looked convinced.“She is a wolf,” Violet reminded them. “We are going to the main building, in the middle of the day, surro

Luca's words followed me out of his office.I think it's protecting them from finding you.I touched the amulet for what had to be the hundredth time. It felt completely normal. Cold silver against my skin. Nothing about it suggested that it might be hiding me from someone. Or something.“So,” Matteo said beside me. “Are we going to discuss what just happened?”“No.”“Good talk.”I kept walking. Rafael was on my other side. Neither of them had asked whether they were accompanying me. Apparently after yesterday's kidnapping, that decision had been made for me and for once, I wasn't going to argue. Matteo noticed.“You haven't told us to leave.”“I was kidnapped yesterday. I'm evolving.”His mouth curved.“I'm proud of you.”“Don't ruin it.”Rafael almost smiled. We crossed the main hall and stepped outside. The afternoon was colder than I expected. I folded my arms and looked toward the dormitory building. Everything seemed normal. Students crossed the courtyard. Someone was sitting be
