RyleI woke up earlier than usual, finding myself sitting on the edge of the bed, desperately trying to muster the energy needed for the day. The events from last night lingered in my mind, draining me of any motivation. Isobel and her possible boyfriend invaded my thoughts, casting a dark shadow over the morning. The confrontation and the hurtful words she threw at me weighed heavily on my heart.I sighed deeply, the weight of it all pressing down on me. With a heavy heart, I made my way out of my room. The kind servant greeted me with a warm smile, commenting on my early wake-up. But my mind was elsewhere, and I walked past her without acknowledging the gesture. Concern etched on her face, she worried about my unusual behavior.I wasn't in the mood to engage with anyone, not even my own family. The aroma of breakfast filled the air as I approached the table, but even the most enticing dishes failed to spark any appetite within me. The other servants offered their greetings, but my m
IsobelTime passes by quickly, and many things have happened. I've made friends and shared memorable moments with them, making school more enjoyable each day. Despite missing my loving mother, Mrs. Potts makes it bearable for me. The mid-semester break is approaching, and I'm excited, just like the other students. Everyone is discussing how to spend their long vacation.“Sis, any plans for the vacay?” my friend asks.“I’m just going home. I miss my mom so much. I'll probably spend my entire vacation helping Mom with work. How about you, sissy?”“Same, sissy. I’m going back home. I already promised my family to spend my entire vacation with them. How about you, Scott?”Scott seems serious, holding his book. “No plans. I’ll just stay at school. There’s no home and family waiting for me. Only a vacation filled with books.”Hearing this, I feel really sad. I can't imagine how hard it is for Scott not to enjoy moments with a family. The way Lorrie looks at him also changes. But both of us
RyleThe plan continued, and I found myself eager to stand by my decision. I focused on other things, deliberately ignoring Isobel's existence. It was challenging, but I had managed to do it for days now. The only one who wasn't impressed with my choices and actions was Koa, my spirit wolf.“Until when should you keep doing this?” Koa questioned.“Every single day, you’ve been saying the same thing, Koa. Be sensible. We can’t be selfish. Let her go. Don’t fight a losing battle. Isobel already chose someone over me,” I responded.Koa scoffed. “That’s it, Ryle? Like I kept on saying, Isobel is not just a random wolf. She’s your mate!”“Isobel is my fated mate, but that doesn’t mean she’s mine.”Koa went speechless with my words, sighing inside my head. Obviously, Koa wasn't happy with my decision. The way I was treating Isobel annoyed Koa immensely. Countless times we bumped into each other, but I always chose not to look into Isobel’s eyes. Sometimes, I even avoided going the same way
RyleScott and Lorrie exchanged uneasy glances, and I sensed their hesitance to tell me the truth. Lorrie stayed silent, refusing to divulge anything. My heart pounded faster, anger and frustration building up. The color of my eyes changed, and I glared at Lorrie.“Given your faces, I know something happened with Isobel. You’re right in front of the future owner of Silverwolf University. If anything bad happens with the students here, it will ruin the great reputation of our school. If there’s someone who can greatly help in finding your friend, it would be me.”Lorrie seemed intimidated, and my true feelings reached her. Scott and Lorrie exchanged another look, and finally, Scott nodded at Lorrie, signaling her to tell the truth.“Everything you’ve heard is right. We think something bad happened to Isobel. Her phone is off, which is unusual. We asked a few students who went the same route with her every morning. One of them saw Isobel walking to school but no one saw she made it insi
RyleI was horrified by the footage. Lorrie kept on crying, and I couldn't shake off the feeling of helplessness. My hands were shaking as I rushed to replay the footage over and over again, desperately trying to get a good view of the abductor. I zoomed in on all angles of the hidden cameras, but frustration built up inside me. I slammed the keyboard and cursed in the air."That bastard was hiding behind a mask and a hoodie. There’s no way in hell to know who kidnapped Isobel," I muttered angrily.Scott agreed with a solemn nod, acknowledging the challenge we faced.“It’s impossible to identify the culprit this way. We have to find another way.”I took a deep breath, trying to reassure them, "Don’t worry. We won’t stop until we find her.”Scott chimed in with a suggestion, offering a glimmer of hope.“Let’s check the area where Isobel got abducted. Even the smallest clue might lead us to find who the culprit was. Let’s give it a try and find any hint of who’s behind this. It’s better
IsobelI slowly opened my eyes, the world a dizzying blur. My vision hadn't fully recovered yet. Groggily, I tried to scan the place, squinting against the darkness. A dim light in the distance caught my attention."Agh... Where am I?"Attempting to get up was a struggle. My head was pounding. Clutching my aching head, I gathered the strength to stand. After a few attempts, I finally managed to rise. I scanned the surroundings again, becoming more aware of my predicament."What is this place?"The dim light became my guide as I continued to explore. The abandoned warehouse revealed itself with each step. The silence was deafening, broken only by the rhythmic sound of water dripping within the room."Hello? Anybody?"No response. I raised my voice, desperately hoping for a reply."Somebody... Please help."Silence persisted, and a sinking feeling set in. I heightened my senses, straining to hear any signs of life, but the only sounds were the dripping water and my own breath. Panic cre
RyleI trailed behind Lorrie and Scott, my mind consumed with the urgency of finding Isobel. Nothing else mattered at this moment. I allowed Lorrie to take the lead as we made our way back into the school. My friends spotted us from a distance and decided to greet me, but their surprise at seeing me with Lorrie and Scott quickly turned into an unpleasant situation due to their bullying."Is that Ryle?""Hey, Ryle! What are you doing?""Why are you with the losers?""Did you finally lose your mind?"The taunts and insults from my supposed friends made an already frustrating situation even more challenging. I could feel the weight of their words, and it was infuriating. Lorrie shot me a look, clearly disturbed by the comments, and even Scott seemed upset.“So, in your world, we’re losers, huh?” Lorrie responded, her tone challenging."Please ignore them," I sighed, trying to keep my frustration in check. "There are more important things to do than to deal with these idiots."We had a mi
IsobelSince the unknown wolf and Denver left the room, I couldn’t sit still. I scanned every inch, tapping the walls, desperately searching for any weakness. I moved heavy barrels, trying to create a makeshift ladder. But those small windows remained out of reach. Frustration and fear welled up in me.I sat on the old, rotten table, heightening my senses as I heard faint footsteps and murmuring outside the door.“There’s probably more wolves outside guarding the place.”Being only a half-breed, facing the wolves outside the door head-on was out of the question. I sighed.“I wish I’m just a normal wolf with a spirit wolf inside.”Desperation overcame me, and tears flowed. Without the full potential of a wolf, I felt helpless. Compared to a regular wolf's strength, I was nothing more than a human. If only I had been granted a spirit wolf, maybe there'd be a slim chance of saving myself from this dire situation.“If I'll die anyway, I'll die fighting. I won't let them have my life easil
"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
