“Liam? Why are your eyes red?” I repeat the question. “Probably an allergic reaction.” He shrugs. “You should see a doctor.” “I will.” He says dismissively. “Where is the wolf anyway?” “I will speak to Professor Malino to arrange your meeting with the wolf. It's in her lab.” “Malino?” His eyes widen. I nod in response. “Nope, I’m good. Can’t I sneak in?” “No, the lab is highly secured.” I remind him. “I know people who work at the lab. I will find a way to sneak in.” “Why won’t you let me ask her?” “We have history, and we really, really don’t get along.” “With Professor Malino? What did you do?” I eye him suspiciously. “Why do you suspect that I’m the one who did something wrong?” “Because she is sweet, calm, and motherly. So, for the two of you not to get along, you must have really crossed her.” “Sweet? Calm? Motherly?” He titters. “Yes, she is.” He chuckles. “Don’t ask her. I’ll find a way to get in before I go to sleep.” "May I come in then? Or is

I open the door to create enough space for me to walk out, and as soon as I’m outside, I quickly close the door behind me. Professor Eleanor Malino smiles, showing me her straight white teeth and the warm smile again. I notice her green eyes light up behind her glasses, and I feel myself getting conflicted. My mind tells me she is danger, but my heart tells me I can trust her. “I know what’s going on, Miss Gordon.” She says calmly. “May I come in?” “Well...” I falter. “Students have been complaining about you.” “Did they tell you why?” “The security department was called by students who claim to be afraid of you. That’s all I know for now.” And they sent her for that? Not the security officers? She obviously knows more than she is telling me. I open the door to let her walk in, and I can't help but look at her white floral maxi dress. She is wearing white flip-flops, and her chestnut hair is in a simple ponytail. She also has a white cardigan on, and her whole look seems so h

Willow The big black wolf that protected me runs further into the forest, and he is followed by the other, more scary and bigger black wolf that looks at me like it’s mad that I exist. “Don’t go!” I shout at the wolf which had turned into my friend, but it seems not to hear me, or it probably thinks I’m crazy. I prepare to climb down the tree to go to help my wolf friend. I look down and four wolves walk towards the tree. I freeze, hoping that they won't notice me, but they stand right under the tree that I’m on. I suspected that these wolves could communicate, but now I’m really sure. “I know you guys understand me. I tried to threaten you with fake wolfsbane, but here you are, still fighting.” The female wolf with dark brown fur growls in response, and the other wolves do the same. “I can’t believe I’m arguing with wolves,” I chuckle nervously, and they growl amongst themselves. Where is Liam when I need him to talk to the wolves or to translate? “Liam?” I whisper, as if my

Leo I use my snout to point at the end of the forest, showing Willow that she should leave, and she eyes me with doubt written on her face. I point again and she glances at Poseidon, Alpha Hunter's wolf, and her heart beats fifty times louder than before.She takes one step forward. The alpha growls and takes a threatening step towards her, while baring his sharp teeth. This causes her to take five steps back, then she runs further into the forest. Fuck! How am I going to fight for myself and protect her at the same time? Alpha follows her, taking slow, menacing steps. She looks back once, then she continues to run. By the time we reach her, we find her climbing a tree. My dad lets out a satisfied groan as he looks up at her, the glint in his eyes making my stomach churn. ‘Only if she knew that we could turn into humans and climb trees as well.’ ‘Are you my real father?' I glare at him. ‘I wish I wasn’t.’ He retorts. ‘I thought as much. You think I’m in love with a girl, and

Leo Liam and I stare at Willow as she walks away. I walk away from Liam to walk after her, but Liam casually jogs, and stands in front of me to block my way. “Stop trying to turn my girl against me, or I’ll...” “Your threats are getting old.” I cut in dismissively, gazing at the corridor where Willow was a few seconds ago. “I can’t wait for the day you regret...” My smart watch buzzes, signalling the ringing of my phone. I grimace when I see Mike’s name, and I wave Liam off before walking back into my apartment to take the call. “Bro,” I say, while I try not to sound too annoyed. “Bro, we’ve run out of stuff. When will you deliver?” “How soon do you need it?” I exhale. “You can send it today. You always make extra.” “Well...” I trail off, wondering if this is a good time to tell him that I want to stop making limbicus. “Don’t tell me you have been slacking off.” His words me out of my train of thoughts. “I'm out of town.” “Really? They said they saw you outside my club,

When I get to my room, I throw myself on the bed, and I try to cry myself to sleep, but I just cry and I don't feel sleepy. I get out of bed, to go to THC club again and guilt envelopes me. When I get out of the cab, I stand at the gate as I contemplate going in. This is the club that sells limbicus, the drug that killed my brother, but it is the only club that sells alcohol that can make me sleep for days. I decide that I'm going to drink one glass and rush to my dorm room to sleep afterward. “Don’t you dare even think about going in there!” I wince at the sound of the authoritative voice behind me. I turn, even though I know who it is.“You are not my dad, or my brother, or whatever you think you are.” I want to walk in, but I get rooted on the spot. “What are you doing here?” Dr. Brown folds his arms, ignoring my dramatic speech . “I'm doing what everyone does, obviously drinking. Are you stalking me again? You creep. You are my boss, for goodness’ sake.”He smirks, amused b
