“I’m sorry, Scott, but I have to go. Please call me for anything urgent.”

I excused myself from Scott and went to look for Ryle. A surge of frustration and anger churned within me, my blood boiling like a storm beneath my skin. My gut instincts screamed that Ryle was the mastermind behind Scott’s scholarship problem. It was more than a gut feeling, actually. I knew he did it.

I mean, who in their right mind would do something like that? Did he possess any ounce of conscience in him?

I began pacing around the campus, my determination driving me to check every nook and cranny. Despite my thorough search, Ryle remained elusive, playing a cat-and-mouse game with my attempts to confront him. Determined to find him, I continued my quest. I had to face him once and for all. His immature way of dealing with our differences should stop once and for all.

While heading to the campus gym, I noticed the Blondies hanging outside, sitting on the bench. Trying not to be seen, I hid behind

    IsobelI angrily yanked my arms away, feeling the heat of frustration rushing through me. My body reacted to the anger, fists clenched, cheeks burning. My muscles tightened, and my heart thumped loudly. Releasing tension, I yelled at him.“Whether we're dating or not, it's none of your business!”My words sliced through the quiet rooftop. The atmosphere became heavy, like a clash between two opposing forces. It felt like I was on the verge of exploding. The rooftop turned into a battlefield for our emotions, and I would make sure I would not back down this time.Ryle didn't seem impressed with my response. However, I stood my ground, feeling a sudden surge of responsibility to protect my dear friends.“A good friend like him doesn’t deserve this. And I won’t let any jerk like you do any harm to my friends!”Ryle didn't care about what I was saying. He seemed calm and unbothered, which made the rooftop feel even more tense as he walked away. Refusing to let him escape, I shouted once m

    The air on the rooftop seemed to thicken as Ryle's unexpected words hung in the silence, catching me off guard."Wait… Did I hear it right? What did you say?" I stammered, my mind racing to comprehend the reality of the situation. The unexpected proposal echoed in my ears, sending shockwaves through my entire being. My heart pounded wildly, and I found myself needing to confirm whether my ears had deceived me.Ryle clicked his tongue, repeating his proposition with impatience."Are you deaf or something? I said date me. If you do, then I'll do what you want. I’ll give back that poor wolf’s scholarship. Happy now?"As I grappled with the astonishing offer, I couldn't help but think that he was planning something awful for me. I thought maybe he was just fooling around or trying to mess with my feelings, but when I looked into his eyes, I felt like he was serious. It made everything really confusing for me.“You’re joking, right?”“Do I look like I am joking? God! You’re so annoying! Ca

    IsobelFeeling tired after dealing with Ryle's unexpected proposal, I went home, arriving late for my night shift at the Moonlight Cavern. Mrs. Potts scolded me for being tardy, and I couldn't help but blame Ryle for the whole mess. Despite the scolding, I pushed through my shift, trying to focus on my work. Ryle's proposition still lingered in my mind, making it hard to concentrate. Mrs. Potts' disapproval and my frustration intensified with each mistake, and I couldn't shake the feeling that Ryle's intrusion had not only affected my personal life but had also cast a shadow over my work.That night, as I lay on my bed, sleep eluded me. My room felt suffocating, filled with thoughts about Ryle's plans for the next day. The mystery surrounding his unusual demands lingered, leaving my mind restless.All of a sudden, a knock on my door startled me. Rising from my bed, I opened the door to find Mrs. Potts standing there, holding a sizable box."Sorry to disturb you, but this thing seemed

    IsobelI nodded and hesitantly opened the car door, taking a seat in the passenger seat. My heart raced as I boarded. The car's interior screamed extravagance, surpassing even the luxuries my Aunt Lydia possessed. The driver donned in a black suit, maintained stoic silence throughout the journey. His lack of conversation heightened my anxiety, and I found myself fidgeting at the hem of my shirt. The plush leather seat beneath me felt too luxurious for someone like me.As the car glided outside the university borders, my mind swirled with apprehension. I took a deep breath, attempting to steady my nerves, and closed my eyes. In the silence of the car, my thoughts became a violent whirlwind of fear and uncertainty."Please, let this end without harm. I've been a good wolf since birth, following the rules imposed upon me. I am only doing this for a friend. Please, spare me from anything evil tonight.”The memory of my mother waiting for my return until summer lingered in my thoughts. I c

    IsobelI trailed behind Ryle as he led the way through the amusement park. The surroundings were empty of any other souls, intensifying my sense of unease. The prospect of being alone with Ryle stirred nervous ripples within me, yet I tried to maintain composure, silently shadowing his every step.As we strolled, my anxiety lingered, prompting Ryle to offer reassurance that manifested as advice. "Try to unwind a bit. It wouldn't hurt to savor the moment occasionally."Attempting to conceal my tension, I put on a facade of toughness, resisting intimidation as we moved through the park. However, Ryle's words hung in the air, and I couldn't help but feel that he could discern my discomfort."How am I supposed to relax when it's you I'm with?" I retorted.Ryle halted, turning to face me directly. "You're right. Tonight, it's just you and me. No one else is in sight."His acknowledgment of the situation only fueled my curiosity about his motives for this outrageous request. Before I could

    IsobelI walked from the cafe to school, my thoughts consumed by my date with Ryle the other night. Memories replayed in my mind like the song "Midnight Wolf," distracting me from everything happening around me. I spaced out so much that I hadn’t realized I reached my locker.Despite the warm morning sun, my mind was elsewhere, full of questions. I wondered if what transpired last night was real. I couldn’t wrap my head around how a brute wolf like Ryle Vanderberg could transform into a gentle wolf in less than twenty-four hours. It felt surreal.Approaching my locker, Scott's excited words broke through the quiet morning.“Isobel!! Good news!! My scholarship is back!”My face lit up with joy. “Really? How come?”Scott enthusiastically shared what happened but with a bit of stutter. "Turns out, there was a mistake yesterday. They meant to cut support for another student, not me.""I'm so happy for you, Scott," I said, unable to hide my joy. Without thinking, Scott gave me a hug, and w

    IsobelLucy's face softened as she quickly reverted to her sweet form, attempting to mask her earlier aggression. A forced smile played on her lips as she tried to calm herself, stealing an awkward glance at Ryle. However, Ryle remained unimpressed, his reaction swift and violent as he threw her hands off him. The rest of the Blondies froze and stared in shock at the sudden appearance of Ryle Vanderberg.My heart raced as I watched everything happen. Ryle's eyes transformed into a fiery, golden yellow, emitting a low growl as he locked his intense gaze onto Lucy."Perhaps you should start explaining, bitch," he demanded.Lucy got scared, tears filling her eyes. It looked like seeing Ryle this angry was rare, and everyone around felt the seriousness of the situation. The air felt heavy with worry.The rest of the Blondies exchanged nervous glances. Fear was evident in their eyes as they realized the situation was becoming serious. Hastily, they released their grip on me, scattered, and

    IsobelEver since I started hanging out with Ryle Vanderberg, my once-calm life turned chaotic. Things became even more complicated when rumors about us dating spread across campus. It became challenging to concentrate with all the attention I was receiving. Ryle openly acknowledging the dating rumors triggered various reactions.His fans didn't take it well; they speculated wildly about me using sorcery or black magic to control Ryle. Since nobody knew much about where I came from, they assumed I belonged to a group involved in sorcery and witchcraft. I just laughed it off and didn't pay much attention.Another group of students was surprised at how someone as plain and ordinary as me could attract the most handsome guy on campus. They thought it would make more sense if I were as beautiful as Kendra. Some students just wanted to know more about who I am or if I came from a powerful family. As for the rest, I stopped listening to the rumors to find a bit of peace.During lunch, I ate

    "So the council members agreed with his delusions, huh?" I inquired, my tone tinged with disappointment.The head advisor nodded solemnly. "I was the only one who disagreed with the matter, Alpha. There's nothing I can do.""I see..." I sighed. My jaw tightened when the news hit my ears. I clenched the glass of scotch tightly before sipping its content in one gulp. The intoxicating liquid burned my throat a little but I didn’t flinch. Because more than the heat that this alcohol was giving me, it was my rage that kept me burning inside. "Letting that kid go would be an utter disgrace to the Vanderberg name. I refuse to tarnish the honor of my father just because of my foolish son."The head advisor offered a word of caution. "But Alpha... Your son appears resolute. It won't be an easy task to dissuade him."I took a sip of my scotch, contemplating the situation. "I know... And I have no one to blame but myself. If only I had taken immediate action against that lowly she-wolf. Perhap

    Isobel Finally, the day of the concert arrived, and I found myself standing in line with my friends, eagerly awaiting our chance to see the Midnight Wolf perform live. Well, everyone except Thea, who seemed rather indifferent. "I don’t know why I agreed to this. I don’t even know that dude," Thea remarked, her skepticism palpable. But Lorrie, always the optimist, reassured her, wrapping her arms around Thea's and whispering, "Don’t you worry. Soon, you’re gonna understand the hype." She then turned to me, grinning mischievously, and whispered, "Sissy, once we're out of this concert, I’m gonna convert this dumb lady into a die-hard fan." I couldn't help but chuckle at her enthusiasm, while Thea looked on curiously, demanding to know what was being said. Lorrie smoothly deflected, "Oh forget about it… Just make sure to enjoy this day cuz' once you’re out of here, a new Thea will be born." Scott and I shared a laugh, while Thea, still puzzled, watched Lorrie lead the way, linking a

    RyleI summoned an emergency pack meeting, and everyone responded promptly. Their deep respect for me as the alpha heir was evident as we all gathered in the council room, each of us curious about the sudden call.Regrettably, my father couldn't be present; important matters demanded his attention elsewhere. Nonetheless, I steeled myself and proceeded with the meeting. The council members, acknowledging my role as the future Alpha, listened closely, likely expecting news they had been anticipating for some time.Inside the council chamber, the weight of their expectant gazes pressed upon me as I took a moment to collect my thoughts. With a deep breath to steady myself, I began, realizing that this moment was no longer just a vision but a reality I had to confront head-on."Good day, everyone," I greeted them, my voice firm. "I understand this meeting caught you by surprise, and for that, I apologize for any inconvenience."A council member from the Treasury reassured me, "You don't ha

    IsobelFinally, things returned to normal. It was just another typical day, but I found myself incredibly thankful for it. My mind and soul yearned for these moments of peace in school—normalcy without worries or commotion, just peaceful studying and enjoying life with friends.“Let’s go grab some lunch with Ryle and Thea,” Lorrie exclaimed, grabbing my arm. Scott walked behind us happily. I shared in their happiness, especially since Thea had finally been welcomed into our group by Ryle and my best friends after a while.As for my bullies, Lucy and the rest of the Blondies, they were kicked out of Silver-U for their actions. They paid dearly for what happened, and even their own packs promised they would be punished accordingly.Without Lucy, Epsilon Elysium was left without a leader. The sorority decided to hold another election for a new leader. In the end, Lorrie unexpectedly won. She was hesitant at first, but eventually, she accepted the privilege.“How’s the new queen of Ep-El?

    Isobel"I'll ask you again, child: Do you want to stay here with me?"It was a hard decision for me, but I knew my answer right away. It seemed like Dad understood what I wanted."Are you sure you want to give up this eternal happiness for a world that has only brought you pain and suffering?" Dad's voice echoed, showing his concern.I looked down, agreeing with Dad's point. The world I was born into was full of difficulties. Mom and I lived with shame because of something driven by love and sacrifice, their forbidden union. At Silver-U, I found some comfort among friends and even a wolf who became dear to me. But when I needed them the most, they all left, leaving me to face my problems alone. Pain and suffering seemed to be the only things that stayed with me in the world where I belonged. Despite my longing to be with Dad, his offer, though appealing, couldn't keep me here, not yet. There were things left unfinished, bonds I cherished. Maybe my idea of heaven was different—to be wi

    IsobelI opened my eyes and found myself lying in the arms of an elder wolf. The old guy was smiling at me, and strangely, I felt comfortable, as though I knew him from a long time ago. Yet, I was certain we'd never met before. I tried to recall if we had crossed paths, but nothing came to mind. Still, being near him felt oddly warm, filling me with love and peace.As the mysterious wolf stood up and walked away, he beckoned for me to follow. My eyes remained fixed on him, drawn to his presence. When he spoke, his voice held a gentle command."Follow me..."And so, I did. Each step felt like a silent agreement with fate. His smile was reassuring as he guided me forward."Come here, look..."I turned my gaze to where he directed, and before us lay a breathtaking field. It was a scene of unparalleled beauty, one that I couldn't fathom existed. The elder wolf looked at me expectantly, asking a question that resonated deep within me."Do you love it?"I nodded eagerly, feeling a rush of e

    IsobelI was left in shock by Kendra’s revelation. Horror coursed through me as I realized the truth. Kendra, whom I had initially seen as a kind angel sent to save me, was something far more sinister. I couldn't fathom that Kendra would stoop to such depths of cruelty. Jealousy, I realized, was a force more terrifying than I had ever imagined. I had always seen Kendra as perfect in everyone's eyes, but now, facing her dark side, I couldn't shake the terror creeping into my heart.Backing away from Kendra, I couldn't tear my eyes away from her as I pleaded, “Why? Why are you doing this to me?”Kendra smirked, her movements deliberate as she closed the distance between us. “Why? You should’ve known the answer, bitch. You took Ryle away from me. I have been with him from the start. You just came out of nowhere and suddenly, Ryle was all into you. You took my world from me.”I watched as Kendra's eyes changed, a chilling indication that she was not joking. I braced myself for what was to

    IsobelI couldn't believe my eyes when I saw Kendra in such a place. She was someone I never expected to encounter here, especially after an entire year of not seeing her around school. But in that moment, as the thugs closed in on me, I was grateful for any form of rescue."I know you. You’re one of Ryle’s friends," Kendra uttered, recognition dawning on her face.Ryle’s friend clicked his tongue and retreated, leaving the thugs confused and annoyed. "What the hell are you doing, kid?" one of them demanded as Ryle’s friend made his escape. Another thug approached Kendra, suggesting, "Maybe he wanted to join the fun."The rest of the thugs cheered, their expressions filled with lust and excitement, but Kendra remained unfazed. "That’s the problem with lower-class wolves," she remarked confidently. "The ones who were completely forgotten by society. Fear has forgotten you."The leader of the thugs didn’t appreciate Kendra's boldness and confronted her. "Who the hell are you?" he demand

    Ryle I panicked. It was me managing the steering wheel, trying to navigate through traffic as fast as I could. Everyone in the car wanted to get to Epsilon Elysium urgently, but for me, it was more than just a destination. Isobel was there, and I needed to save her from the torment caused by that vile she-wolf who framed her. Regret gnawed at me for not listening to her before, for losing trust in her. "Come on Ryle, I know you can go faster than this," Lorrie said, her concern evident in her voice. "Who said we're on top speed already?" I replied, pressing harder on the accelerator. We surged past other cars on the road, my driving becoming almost reckless in my desperation. Meanwhile, Scott's anger was palpable. "I never thought someone was capable of doing this vile thing. She must be punished for everything," he seethed. Thea, still crying in the backseat, chimed in, her voice thick with emotion. "That she-wolf deserves to be expelled from the school. She must be the one the e
