Blood of the Pack
The pep rally was no school event—it was Samuel’s stage, and she’d walked right into it.
She pushed through the crowd, elbows bumping sweaty shoulders, her backpack heavy with the crumpled notes and the pendant from her bedroom. Her eyes caught a flicker on the bleachers—a scratched circle, a crescent moon with claws, glowing faintly under the lights. Her scar burned, and heat flooded her veins, her hands trembling with a raw power she couldn’t control. A vision flashed: Samuel in a ritual circle, gym lights pulsing, her powers igniting, packs tearing each other apart. She gripped the bleacher rail, breath hitching, fighting the urge to scream.
