Chapter: CHAPTER 8.“Watch where you’re going,” he muttered, his voice low and rough, like gravel sliding over stone.I yanked myself free and took a step back, ignoring the way my skin burned where he’d touched me. “Maybe you should watch where you’re standing,” I shot back, lifting my chin defiantly.His lips curled, almost like he was amused, and for some reason, that irritated me more. “You’re the one who ran into me, half-breed.”My stomach twisted at the insult, but I refused to let it show. I had already decided Levi Parrish wasn’t worth my time, that he was just another arrogant prince who thought the world revolved around him.And yet… my stupid heart didn’t get the memo.He stared at me for a bit too long, as if waiting for a reaction. I gave him none. Instead, I rolled my eyes, stepped around him, and kept walking, forcing myself not to look back.“You know, it’s my duty to watch over you.”I heard a voice say, inches away from my eyes. He was following me, like a fly would its victim. I tried

Chapter: CHAPTER 7.The sun had already begun to set, Julian stood in the middle of the room, his whole attention focused on me, his presence commanding as ever.He was intimidating, but not enough to keep me from protesting.“What do you mean ready for school tomorrow?” I yelled, unable to control myself.“Did you think you were going to stop having an education just because you’re a werewolf?” He asked, standing tall with his arms crossed over his chest.I blinked up at him. "I knew I was going to be learning. But, education?""Yes. Starting tomorrow, you'll be attending Moondew Academy."My stomach dropped. "Wait, what? You're really sending me to school? Like…an actual school? With werewolves?"His lips twitched in mild amusement. "Of course. What do you think the pups around here do? Run around naked in the wild?”I bit my lower lip. “Well….”I paused and we stared at each other, both of them clearly aware of my unspoken words.“We’re not animals, Astra,” Jerry joined the conversation, slightly offe

Chapter: CHAPTER 6.My body felt weightless, my mind drifting in and out of consciousness. Voices swam around me, distant yet urgent.“What’s wrong with her?” an unfamiliar voice from the crowd demanded."She’s burning up," another voice added, except I knew who this one belonged to. It was my father, Julian. "Something's not right."“Just hang in there, Astra.” Levi breathed into my ears, gently rocking me back and forth as he stroked my hair. “You’re going to be okay.”It was working. His presence was making the pain much more tolerable.I barely registered the firm hands pressing against my forehead, the worried murmurs growing around me. The scent of my brother, Jerry, cut through the haze. A smell I didn’t know I had already picked up in my short time here. He knelt beside me, and although I couldn’t see quite clearly, I could feel the strange stench of worry latched onto him.His strong hands reached out to me, his face tight with concentration, but not towards me. He was trying to get to Lola, to

Chapter: CHAPTER 5.My mother taught me to stand up for what’s right, and no matter how beautiful a creature Levi was, I wasn’t about to let him stand here and make me feel like I had done something wrong.Open your mouth and say something.My brain kept telling me to speak up, but my body was finding it hard to catch up. Levi and I stood there for what felt like hours. We said nothing, only stared into each other’s eyes, mesmerized.I have a boyfriend.I reminded myself, finally tearing my gaze away from his. He cleared his throat and stepped closer, moving toward me slowly.“You’re new,” he said, his eyes still focused on me.I nodded, afraid he could hear my heart pounding in my chest.He walked behind me, his body inches from mine, heat radiating through the little gap between us. Suddenly, I felt his face on my neck, his nostrils sniffing.“You have a unique scent,” he said.I held my breath, stopping myself from swallowing the lump lodged in my throat. What was happening right now? I felt Lola strug

Chapter: CHAPTER 4.The darkness swooped in, swallowing me whole. Suddenly, I was in the middle of a park with no recollection of how I had gotten here. The night was darker than usual, not a single streetlight in sight. The air was slightly cooler, the atmosphere void. It was clear that there was no one around for miles to come but still it didn’t feel lonely. There was an airy familiarity that came with this place. Somehow, I felt safe. I looked around, trying to see if I’d be able to find a street sign, but all I saw were the outlines of flowers and grass, with trees that seemed to sway silently whenever the wind howled. It was peaceful, but I couldn’t stay. I didn’t belong here.I started to walk around, moving towards a bench in the middle of two trees. I stopped halfway through. Behind it, a pair of red eyes had begun to form. I was not alone. The thought of someone behind the bushes, watching me all this while sent shivers down my spine.And worse? It had started to move. It’s crimson form now

Chapter: CHAPTER 3.I must still be stuck in last night’s dream.“What do you mean my father?” I asked loudly, my voice sharp. “Take me away to where? You’re not making any sense, mum.”“Astra.”The man spoke, moving towards me. I flinched, taking a step back. I looked from him to my mother, then back to him. He had black hair and blue eyes, similar to mine. His intense eyes on me made my insides turn.What exactly was going on? Who is this man and why was he in my house, calling my name as if we knew each other?“Astra….honey….please.” My mother forced out, staggering to my side. She took my hand and looked me in the eye. “I need to tell you something.”She went ahead and explained the situation. About twenty years ago, in Delaware, she had gone camping in the woods with a few friends. Everything was going well, until the sun set and her friends began to disappear one after the other. Suddenly everyone was gone and she was the only one left, waiting to die.“But then, Julian showed up. He saved me.” She
