Brookfield TownAviana POV"Aviana, hurry up! We're going to be late!" Cassie shouted from the driveway, leaning on her car horn with an impatient voice."Dad, we're heading out! I might be a little late tonight because of the campus program," I called out, pressing a quick kiss to my father's cheek."All right, just be careful," my dad warned gently, holding my gaze. "And don't walk home in the dark by yourself!"I offered a reassuring shake of my head and hurried out the door. Honestly, who in their right mind would try to harm me? Aside from wearing a modest long skirt and a vintage floral blouse, I was practically invisible behind my thick glasses—not to mention the fact that half the town knew I was the sheriff's daughter. As I slid into the passenger seat, Cassie shot me a critical, head-to-toe look and grimaced. "Oh, goodness, Aviana! We're juniors now, but your style hasn't changed at all! How are you ever going to land a boyfriend?" "You're way too loud. Just start the engi

Aviana's Pov."Aviana, it's lunchtime already! Come down here!" My father's booming voice startled me so badly I nearly dropped my book, the sheer volume of it vibrating through the floorboards."Dad, I'm coming down!" I called back, quickly grabbing my glasses off the table and sliding them on. When I stepped into the kitchen, my father was already standing by the counter, eyeing me with a deep, critical frown. "How are you feeling?" he asked immediately. "Dad, I'm completely fine. Why do you look so worried?" I replied, offering a reassuring smile as I picked up the pitcher to pour us some juice. He opened his mouth to answer, then hesitated, closing it again without a word. We had already started eating before he remembered something."Oh, by the way, we have new neighbors," he said, pointing a fork at me with a quick grin before taking another hurried bite. "I want you to go over later, welcome them to Brookfield, and take them that apple pie.”"Why do you seem to be in a hurr

As soon as Aviana put on her glasses, she froze. A massive wolf was staring right at her, saliva dripping from its jaws.When she saw it start creeping toward her, she slowly backed away. She wanted to scream and beg for help, but her voice was completely choked by fear. Trembling from head to toe, she whispered, "Please, good dog... Please don't bite me..."Her desperate plea was useless. The wolf suddenly lunged forward and sank its teeth into her leg. Pain and terror paralyzed her voice, keeping her from even crying out. Summoning every last bit of courage, she kicked the wolf in the snout over and over until it finally let go of her leg.Aviana scrambled to her feet and took off, but the wolf was right behind her. It leaped through the air to bite her again, but just as it struck, she slipped, causing the beast to overshoot its attack. She quickly crawled away and sprinted off. She had no idea where she was heading anymore—all that mattered was putting distance between herself an

Startled by the deep, raspy voice, my defenses instantly spiked. Figuring it was just another bully trying to mess with me, I panicked, shook him off, and snapped, "Leave me alone!" without even turning around to look at the man behind me—and bolted._____***______"Hey, come back!" Ethan called after her.He had been tailing her the entire way since she stepped out of her house. But Aviana had been so lost in the music blasting through her headset that she hadn't heard him calling out to her.Ignoring the students whispering and calling his name, Ethan broke into a sprint to catch up.Meanwhile, before Aviana could even make it to her classroom door, Carl cut her off, blocking her path."Nerd! Did you really think you could hide behind whoever helped you out at the welcome party and get away with it?" Carl sneered.Aviana winced as Carl lunged forward, tightening his grip on her arm and shoving her hard against the wall."Ouch! Carl, stop! You're hurting me! I don't even know what yo
