Chapter Eight
It was cold. There was no light. Only darkness surrounded me.
I wasn't sure what I had expected for when I died, werewolves didn't seem to have any real lore hypothesising about what came after death. I'm sure humans would think we should be cast into hell, our entire self being a creature opposed to the ways of their natural laws. But we didn't have any thoughts or values on that.
Did I expect the Goddess to embrace me and lead me into some pearly gates? She had abandoned me in life, I could only

There was an alarm ringing in my head. It was so loud, aggressively thrashing against my already sore brain. However, it wasn't until I turned towards the source and opened my eyes that I realised it was an alarm clock. An alarm clock I hadn't seen in years. I instantly sat upright in bed and took in my surroundings. This was the bedroom of my family home, the bedroom I had lived in up until my coming of age. Everything looked exactly the same. Was it all a dream? Had I really died? I jumped out of bed, running towards my mirror, and instantly, I could feel the difference when I moved. I was shorter, lighter. My limbs didn't feel as muscled. ...And I felt strange. Like something was missing. As I looked at my reflection, I quickly realised that I was young. Very much so. My cheeks were plumper and my eyes rounder. The stress lines I'd accumulated over my years of mistreatment were completely gone. I looked almost... pretty. Had I ever thought that before? I'd been so focused on c

It was exactly as I remembered it. But I suppose that was to be expected since, in my memories, I last saw this place only three years from now. The school consisted of only werewolves since our pack had that luxury. In fact, our whole territory was unknown to the humans so we had complete secrecy and safety. I walked past the crowds of kids who were all chatting away in their groups, ignoring that I was even there, but it didn’t bother me. That was how school had always been. Everyone either hated me or was too scared to talk to me because of the assumption I would be the future Luna. This was fine though.

I fell to the ground, my backpack sliding across the polished hallway floor. I could feel a shooting wave of pain from my wrist, having roughly hit the ground, and I immediately cradled it to my chest. At least it wasn't the worst pain I'd ever felt."Ah shoot, I'm so sorry," a worried, husky voice said.I looked up and saw a boy, maybe sixteen, staring down at me with a hand outstretched. But it wasn’t the fall that now shocked me into silence, but rather his eyes.They were like molten golden orbs, catching

The next day started like normal. I had breakfast in the kitchen with my mother before Lucy helped me get ready for school. Lucy didn't mention the letter and acted as if everything was normal which I was grateful for.My father was away on business but would be returning today and I was internally very excited to see him again. I didn't want our relationship to turn out like how it had in my previous life. I knew now that deep down he loved me, even if he didn't show it outwardly. It wouldn't be like how it was before where I would always try to avoid him out of fear of disappointing him.

"Is there something wrong?" I asked, narrowing my eyes at her.She wasn't touching the drink and instead was staring at the teacup a little strangely. My heart sank. Had she only been pretending to not know what I'd just done?But her eyes then began to water, a timid smile twitching at her lips."No, it's just... this is really nice of you, Miss. Thank you for being so considerate," she said, softly. "I know I'm just an attendant, but you've really made me feel like a part of the family by doing this."I watched as she took a sip and instantly my heart leapt. She'd drunk the tea and hadn't hesitated when asked to serve it to my parents.A bright smile instantly broke out on my face and I ran to her, grabbing her hands in mine excitedly."Thank you...," I said sincerely."Miss?" she asked, confused. "What's wrong? Why are you thanking me?""Because the letter I gave you yesterday was to say that I would poison my parent's t

Detention was just as boring as I had always imagined it would be. Mrs Newman kept a close eye on me to make sure I sat in silence doing nothing as she marked reports."I honestly don't know what's gotten into you lately, Aria," she said. "You're my best student. Why have you been acting out so much?"I looked at her and shrugged my shoulder. I wouldn't be able to explain that I'd literally learnt all of this already and was busy trying to stop my death. But I sighed, knowing inside I really had gone too far."I'm sorry I was

We ran outside into the parking lot, knowing we had a lot of ground to cover, and I was pleased to see that Cai had no issue keeping up. If anything, it was me that was slowing us down.I turned to yell out some more directions of where we were headed next, but to my surprise, he was running in the opposite direction to where we were needing to go."Where are you going?" I yelled out after him. "It's this way!"He spun around to face me as he continued to move backwards.

Panic swept through me.What had I just done? I'd been so caught up in a stupid argument that I hadn't even noticed Myra arriving. My emotional reaction was possibly going to cause the death of an innocent girl.Cai and I both immediately jumped to our feet and scanned the area. Straight away, we saw the four wolves surrounding her, just like they had in my vision. And though I was relieved to see her alive, inside, I was tormented, reliving the horrific sight I'd seen in the classroom all over again. I knew that at a
