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
RyleSummoning a group of my men, I conveyed a sense of urgency in my address.“Listen. Silver-U is well known for being the number one, most pursued school in the entire continent. But today, the great reputation of our school is at stake. One student has been missing since this morning. If things get out, this will be used as an opportunity to destroy us. I want you to search for that missing student named Isobel. Find her at all costs. And keep this confidential. Not even the students from Silver-U must know about this. Understand?”“Yes sir!” My men yelled in unison.I divided the group for specific tasks, assigning roles to ensure a comprehensive search.“Team A will be the eye of the whole squad. Report anything suspicious around the campus. Do not take your eyes off the monitor even for a second. Replay the footage and track the possible vehicle of the abductor.”Team A agreed and went off to carry out their duties.“The next team, B, will stand as the protectors of the school.
RyleLorrie's reaction to my admission caught me off guard. Her jaw dropped, eyes widened in disbelief, and her hand flew to her mouth as she stood momentarily stunned.“Are you freaking serious right now?”I sighed, not expecting such a strong reaction from Lorrie.“You asked me, right? Here’s your answer.”Lorrie's tone turned serious.“Isobel is like a sister to me. Nobody would dare to hurt her as long as I’m here.”I sighed again, creasing my forehead. I couldn't understand Lorrie's words or the reason behind her disbelief. Meanwhile, I saw Scott frozen in place, eyes wide open. Perhaps he accidentally heard us as he tried to show us the papers he was holding. This made me sigh and direct my response to Lorrie.“I don’t know why you’re being so dramatic right now. Is it abnormal to like someone? I am a young wolf who likes another she-wolf. What’s wrong with that?”Lorrie slammed the table, startling me. Scott still hadn't said anything. I watched as Lorrie raised her voice at me
RyleI rushed towards the room where they kept the suspicious man, with Scott leading the way. Upon arriving, I was greeted by the tracker leader.“What happened here?” I inquired.The tracker leader gave me an update. “With the use of the hidden cameras, we caught someone acting suspiciously around the campus. He was scanning the area. We had a feeling the guy was somehow related to the incident, so we tracked him down and caught him.”He jerked his head, signaling another one of my men to present a backpack. It was left on the table in front of everyone. The tracker leader began pulling out items – a binocular, a cell phone, and other paraphernalia used for spying. My blood boiled."As you can see, sir, these are things used for spying. And what makes us believe this bastard is really connected with the incident…" The tracker leader pulled out something from his pocket and handed it to me."Is this," he stated, presenting the evidence.I saw the same pin they found, the three-headed
Isobel“How could I let myself be fooled by his kindness!” I scolded myself, my frustration building as I reflected on the situation. If Denver and I hadn't become friends, I'd probably be enjoying my time with friends, helping Mrs. Potts. It was hard for me to believe that everything between us was just an act. Denver had convincingly deceived me, and the realization shattered my trust in him, breaking my heart in the process."Come to think of it! I never saw Denver inside any class! And who the hell transferred to school in the middle of the school year?! That’s very odd in college years." I ranted, frustrated at my own naivety. I hated that I had let myself become so trusting, not questioning the oddities surrounding Denver's presence in my life. "That bastard just appeared out of nowhere like a freakin’ mushroom…" I muttered, feeling like a total dumbass for falling for his "nice guy" act. I didn't want to admit it, but I had allowed myself to be deceived."It’s totally my fault
IsobelTension gripped the room, eyes locked in a silent standoff, heightening my discomfort.Breaking the silence, the limp wolf asked, "Did you come here alone?"Unfazed, Ryle confidently smirked, "I’m more than enough to take all of you down. I could beat you up with one hand tied behind my back. Don’t make me laugh. I need no one."Denver laughed, and the limp wolf seemed ecstatic about Ryle's bold declaration. Ryle's overconfidence irked me, provoking the enemies further. The limp wolf clapped his hands, mocking Ryle, "You actually came without anyone. It’s surprising, isn’t it? Look, Denver, Ryle Vanderberg followed our demands. What are the odds?"Denver joined in the laughter, "I bet he’s just trying to act tough. Trying not to piss himself," he sneered, and the laughter and cheers echoed around us. Ryle's eyes were fixed on me, and I felt a twinge of worry as I considered the possibility that there might be more adversaries than I initially thought. Glancing around, I noticed
Isobel"I still can’t believe that the mighty Ryle Vanderberg agreed to be my punching bag."The limp wolf hit Ryle’s shoulder, and I felt Ryle’s pain as if the wooden crane had struck me. He was attempting to act tough, but it was evident that the relentless blows were slowly taking a toll on him. I couldn't bear to see him suffer.“Please, Denver. I beg you. It’s not too late to make things right. Please stop this already. If this continues, Ryle’s life will be in danger,” I pleaded desperately.“Shut up, Isobel!” Denver scoffed dismissively, his response cold and heartless.Fueled by rage, the limp wolf delivered another brutal punch to Ryle's defenseless form. Anguish and frustration surged within me.“THAT’S ENOUGH, YOU BASTARD!!”My voice filled with a mixture of fear and anger. But the limp wolf paid no attention, relentlessly attacking Ryle. Each punch carried a weight, and I could see the impact of every blow on Ryle, making him spit blood.My fury grew as Ryle seemed unwilli
Isobel“You animal!” Denver shouted at Ryle as he dragged me in his arms and tied my hands and feet to a wooden chair. I felt trapped as I watched Denver quickly approaching Ryle. He started kicking his face over and over again.“Show me your laugh again!”Fear gripped me as I watched Denver unleash his rage. It was as if he had transformed into a mad dog, his gentle nature completely overshadowed by his ferocity. I couldn't believe that beneath Denver's calm facade, there lurked such a wild and ruthless creature. He mercilessly beat Ryle with his feet, leaving Ryle defenseless as he could only shield himself with his arms.“Stop!!!!” I shouted, but it fell on deaf ears.After what felt like an eternity of relentless assault, Denver finally grew tired and began to grab Ryle by his collar.“This was nothing compared to what you did to my loving sister.”With each punch, Denver's knuckles grew sore, his fury matched only by the blood staining his hands.“You ruined my sister’s life and
"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
