My normally amber eyes are now decorated with an emerald ring around the iris, they are beautiful. “I am allowed to share my full power now with you. The goddess granted me by your side because you are destined for great things. I am the most powerful wolf ever to walk this earth. You will need all my strength and wisdom for everything what’s to come.

Next time you want to learn something, start by showing a little humility."

Bea looked at me with wide eyes, noticing the paper turned upside down on my desk. She looked baffled. I shrugged. "It was easy." Bea groaned quietly. "Yeah—easy for the smartest person in the world. Also known as you. You are the smartest person in the world, my friend." "Maybe—the smartest person in the room." Jade laughed softly, hey eyes trained on her quiz as she finished writing.

Chapter 6 Baji blinked wandering where he was. It was too dark to tell where he was, he couldn’t see anything.
