Leo After spending the entire night at my desk and on my laptop, trying to find anyone who will retrieve Willow’s videos, my morning alarm rings. I take a shower, then I make eggs benedict with smoked salmon for Jessica, and as promised, I take her breakfast to ‘her bedroom’. She smiles when she sees her breakfast and tells me how much she loves me. I roll my eyes in response, and I tell her about my plan to go to Professor Malino for help regarding Willow’s videos. “That’s a great idea. Professor Malino always knows what to do.” Her mouth is filled with food. I raise my eyebrows, and she smiles sheepishly. “Don’t look at me like that, you haven’t made me breakfast in a long time.” She says after swallowing. “Send her my regards and tell her I will meet her later before going back to Carkeek Park.” I nod in response, and I leave. I go to the flower shop to buy a bouquet of various flowers for Professor Malino, to bribe her to get the lab's CCTV footages for Willow, and to show h

Leo I bolt out of the elevator, and I rush to the parking lot to get my car. I drive past a scene of an accident, and I notice a truck. Then there are people and cars surrounding the area, with blue and red lights flashing. I try to trace Jessica’s scent, but I struggle to find her. I make a U-turn and park my car on the side of the road to see what’s going on. ‘Asclepius, I need you to take control. Please help me find my sister.’ I ask my wolf to come forth to so that my senses can be elevated. My wolf takes control, and he smells Jessica’s scent coming from the scene of the accident. He lets out a distressed howl, and I let myself regain control. I take deep breaths to try to remain calm, and I slowly head to where the crowd is gathering. “What happened?” I ask the first person I set my eyes on. “These kids and their motorcycles. Poor thing didn’t see an approaching truck. That was unfortunate.” The lady with the grey hair says as she walks away. A motorcycle, a truck? My

Leo “Wwwhat are you doing here?” She knits her eyebrows, her face as pale as a ghost.I hold on to the door frame to find my balance, as my knees feel weak and I feel dizzy. 'Mate! Mate! Mate!' My wolf’s excitement gets me irritated. ‘Moon goddess, I swear, I don’t think I deserve this punishment.’ I say internally. ‘This is my mate? Out of all people on the planet, it had to be her!’ ‘Dude, why didn’t I feel the mate bond when we were at the hospital?’ I ask my wolf. ‘Look at you, learning through your mistakes.’ He replies smugly. I decide to deal with my wolf later, and to find out what my intended mate was doing in Willow’s dorm room. I decide on the bold approach, to act as if I already know she is the suspect. “Why? How could you do this to your own sister?” I glower at her. She holds the doorknob, pushing the door towards me. I place my foot to prevent the door from closing. “I’m not going to let you get away with this!” I push the door with one hand in her direction

Leo Willow glances at me, and then at my sister, Jessica, before looking back at me. Fresh tears form in her eyes, but she blinks to hold them back. I break eye contact to stop the guilt that is brewing up within.“Thank you for everything, and I’m so sorry for coming here.” Her voice is shaky and she diverts her attention to Jessica. “Hi, nice to meet you.” She forces a smile before storming out of the room. Jessica opens and closes her mouth without saying a word. Then, a smirk forms on her lips, and I glare at her. “Willow!” I run after her, and she gets in the elevator.She is standing in front and there are a few people with her, but she doesn’t bother to press the button to stop the doors from closing. A guy standing behind her moves quickly forward and presses the button. I run to the elevator and I stand next to her. She rolls her eyes at me, and then she looks away. “Willow...” I whisper. “Don’t!” She says between her teeth without looking at me. I feel the curious sta

My skin runs cold when I open the door to my room. Someone has been to my room! I feel shivers run down my spine, with my shaking hand still on the light switch. I stand rooted in the doorway, as my legs turn mushy, and my heart beats like I have been running a marathon. I look around my messy room, with the couch moved and the cupboards open. This person even has a key, and they locked the door when they finished messing up my room. What if someone is still in here and they locked themselves in? They could easily see me with the light on. “Hhhhhhi. Hello?” I try to control my trembling voice. I don’t hear a word or any movement. I slowly close the door and I hold it tightly before locking. Then, I run to the police station on campus. “Someone has been to my room, and they have a key.” I say between breaths. “Calm down.” One officer says. “It’s you. The wolf girl. Why don’t you get your wolf to help you?” Another officer frowns.“That’s a mean thing to say.” The first officer

When I walk into class, I bump into a hard surface that doesn’t feel like a wall. “Watch it!” A voice roars. The large and looming figure that is looking down at me makes me shiver. His eye contact is intense, and the scars on his face seem permanent, as if he was born with the scars. “You watch where you going!” I stand in front of him, unwavering, but my heart rate shoots through the roof. “Oh! Sorry, it’s you, princess.” He grins, showing his blindingly white teeth. “Do I know you?” I blink, trying to comprehend where his sudden grin comes from. “No, I don’t think so. I just saw that video of you walking with a wolf and I knew that you shouldn’t be messed with.” “But I haven’t seen you in any science class before, during any year. Students don’t know the names of most classmates, but we know each other’s faces.” “I’m the quiet one who prefers to be undetectable. Maybe that’s why.” He shrugs. “Okay, I’m gonna go sit down.” I cut the conversation to get away from his intense
