But I forced it down. I didn’t come this far to retreat.Swallowing my disgust, I stepped forward. Each step felt heavier than the last, as though the ground itself resisted my presence. My fingers trembled slightly as I reached into my satchel and pulled out the book. It was inheritance of the previous Head Priestess. My hands tightened around it. I hadn’t mastered a single page. Flipping it open, I scanned the pages quickly, the ancient wolf script twisting across the parchment in intricate patterns. My eyes darted from line to line until something caught my attention

Miles later, under a tree split in half by lightning years ago, I finally stopped. My hands shook as I opened the book, i flipped the pages fast. The letters seemed to shift when I stared too long, like they were alive. Near the middle, I found what I’d been searching for: “Ascension of the Apex.” The words promised power bigger than any wolf, bigger than any man. The power to become the thing that made hunters afraid. Beneath that, in small red letters, was a warning but I didn’t fucking care. Then I saw Dad’s face, his eyes going empty, his hand slipping from mine, his last whisper: “Live, Lucas.”

Her aunt gives her a small smile and nods, Celine finds the bookmark and opens to the page. The woven bookmark has a faded blue tassel and was made of woven threads depicting wolves running in a forest, at the bottom of the bookmark was an old wolf’s tooth with a hole drilled through to be able to tie it onto the bookmark. She puts it to one side to look at the page it had been marking. It looked much like many of the others she had seen flipping through. But its words had her feeling like her world was slipping through her fingers and she was unable to do anything to stop it.

The first volume opened to reveal not just words and grammar rules, but insights into a culture built on pack bonds, supernatural abilities, and complex hierarchies I was only beginning to grasp. Hours passed as I lost myself in studying. The mental challenge provided welcome distraction from the lingering heat his proximity had sparked and the growing awareness of the life developing inside me. The more I read, the more fascinated I became. This wasn't just language—it was a window into an entire way of thinking, of being, that was completely foreign to my human upbringing. When I finally looked up, neck stiff from hunching over the texts, I realized Cardan was gone. His urgent call had app

I just needed a chance to stand tall, shoulders back, chin up, beside the strongest beings in the world. To become that person, I have to reach the Apex. But that won’t happen unless I get a Calling to enter Blackcroft. And I believe that day will come. For now, I’ll focus on opening my Mana. CHAPTER ONE Before Blackcroft<<<<>>>> Loud chatter echoed in my head as I walked among the students of Cristobal High, down the passageway toward the Annex Library. It was the one place the school kept books on ancient magic and unrevealed supernatural powers.

I still tried to read on, maybe I would find something interesting, but it just bored me more and more so I dropped it. I went back to the shelf I took it from to place it back, and began searching for another one, a romance genre this time. I continued searching till I saw one at the end of the shelf. I could not clearly see the cover, but I could see red lips on it, catching my attention. I reached out to take it, but my hand didn't get to it.

I froze, perceiving the scent which seemed all too familiar. It was like I was used to

So, save the chapter number and continue reading! P.S- Did I mention the book will now be on A****n? XD

“Does it bite?” Steve snorted. “Probably.” They reached a circular antechamber at the end of the hall where a massive tome—several feet tall and wider than a table—sat on a pedestal of smoldering glass.

Visions surged. --- Emma Sees the Past

We head back towards the house and he bumps into my leg repeatedly, trying to get me to turn around. "Stop trying to herd me. I'm not a sheep." I tell him firmly, tossing him a treat as I walk into the bathroom to brush my teeth before bed. I lay down, thinking about the book as I stare at my ceiling. Basil jumps on the bed, spinning a few times before he lays down next to me. I run my fingers through his fur absentmindedly, my brain refusing to stop spinning as I think about the first few pages of the book. It started out with the beginning stages of a war, the main character building an army of werewolves to defeat their arch nemesis.
