" he said. And so I dragged my battered body back home. After what seemed like forever, I arrived at the front door, which I wouldn't open no matter what I tried. When the alarm blared loudly, Elise strutted over and opened the door, her head held high. She said, covering her mouth in a mockery of an apologetic expression, "Oh, it's you, Shana. I'm sorry. I couldn't remember the complicated passcode, so Harold changed it into something simpler." I nodded expressionlessly instead of breaking down like she'd wanted, so she pouted in disappointment. Harold, on the other hand, was satisfied with my reaction—he probably assumed that I'd taken his words to heart. He picked a fallen leaf from my ha

This wasn’t the curse breaking. This wasn’t a hallucination. This was the beginning. The awakening. My fingers curled into his shirt as my vision finally snapped to black. And the last thing I heard was Malrik’s voice breaking in a way I had never heard before: “She’s waking up too fast.”

But the word thrummed inside my chest, vibrating through bone and blood. Choose. Choose what? Who? Myself? Them? My stomach twisted violently, a sickening swirl of dread and longing. I squeezed my eyes shut, fighting back tears that burned like acid behind my lids. The Awakening was coming. I could feel it creeping closer each night, pressing up against my skin from the inside out. Choose… I lifted my head, staring at the sun through my window. A sudden howl tore through the silence, so sharp and mournful it vibrated the glass panes of my window. My breath caught in my throat. The sound reverberated under my skin, thrumming along my veins until I felt it in th

His hand brushed against me, but I gently moved it away. "You're tired. Just sleep," I muttered. ... I woke up early the next morning, picking out a casual T-shirt, a denim skirt, and white sneakers. I tied my hair into a bun and did my makeup. In the mirror, I looked like an energetic young girl with fair skin, a slender figure, and bright eyes. Derrick, on the other hand, was still recovering from a hangover. His eyes were bloodshot, with dark circles underneath. Luckily, his features were decent, and he wasn't that old. Once he put on the white T-shirt, knee-length denim shorts, and white sneakers I'd prepared for him, he looked livelier.

Light slid along the air like liquid, brushing my skin with warmth that felt horribly familiar like the energy Rockan once told me he felt every time I lost control. Only this time… the power didn’t feel wild. It felt directed. Intentional. “Your awakening came earlier than expected,” the voice said. “The spark within you shouldn’t have ignited until your twenty-first cycle. But circumstances have… accelerated your evolution.” Awakening. Spark. Evolution. Every word sank into me like a cold stone. “What awakening?” My voice cracked. “No one told me anything about awakenin

Squall’s voice reaches my ears, "This is your moment! Embrace it, let it wash over you!" My muscles begin to tighten while my bones shift beneath my skin. The earth seems to vibrate beneath my feet too, the very ground resonating with the awakening forces that squirm through me. The feeling is thrilling and terrifying at the same time. I gasp as my senses expand, my vision sharpening and my hearing attuned to the rustling of leaves and the distant whispers of the night. The world around me takes on new hues, every scent and sound an intricate masterpiece that paints the canvas of my perception. The sensations coalesce into a wave of power that overflows throug

V I woke up in a cold sweat from a terrible nightmare. In my dream, a pack of wolves had surrounded Richard, Daciana, and me. I had transformed into a werewolf to fight them off, but they had snatched and devoured Daciana right in front of me. My heart was racing, and I could barely catch my breath. Richard was sleeping beside me, and my nightmare had woken him up. I told him everything, but he tried to reassure me that nothing bad would happen to Daciana or me. But the fear had already set in, and I couldn't shake it off.

My eyes open and a gasp escapes me, all at once, the pain returns. It consumes me, totally. I have no true beginning and no true end. The pain is all that I am. I let out a scream. My body feels like it's on fire, and everything hurts.

“If you lose it now, you will not be able to pull back.” “I cannot stop,” I say through clenched teeth. “Yes you can,” she snaps. “You choose.” Another rogue charges us, screaming. Lyra steps aside. I step forward. Something snaps. Power floods me, raw and overwhelming. It surges through every vein. I feel taller. Heavier. Grounded. My senses stretch past the cave walls, past the forest, past everything I know. This is awakening. I grab the rogue mid leap and slam him down so hard the ground cracks beneath us. The sound booms through the cave like thunder.

The world outside faded into silence as we came together, the deep connection binding us into one existence. Time seemed to stand still as we delved deeper into each other's pain, a whirlwind of heat, light, and laughter, shaping our universe within the night.
