That creativity is why she kicks ass at training academy recruits. She doesn’t just think outside the box—she drags her students, kicking and screaming, right out of it. We head to check-in, signing the obligatory “if you die, it’s not our fault” waiver. A wolf named Benjamin gives us the rundown—stance, safety, throwing technique. We nod, probably way too excited to wield weapons in a cage.

A bulb which was hanging at the corner of the ceiling had an electrical impedance and at once it fell on the floor like somebody intentionally dropped it.

The thought makes my chest tighten, and I force myself to take a deep breath. It is obvious there is more to that office than he lets on. Something is hidden there, something important. And as scared as I am, I feel a pull to uncover whatever mystery lies beneath the surface. I enjoy riddles, after all. The note that slipped out of the book yesterday still lingers in my mind, puzzling me with its cryptic contents. I want answers. I shake my head at my own foolishness, feeling both guilty and determined at the same time. The guilt gnaws at me, but the curiosity is stronger, pulling me toward the mystery like a moth to a flame.

As I carefully examined the lifeless body of the lady, my instincts kicked in, guided by the ever-watchful presence of my wolf.
