ARES’ POV

The moment the students left, I took a deep breath and stepped closer to the girl’s lifeless body. The stench of blood was thick in the air, the metallic scent filling my lungs. Her body was mangled beyond recognition, deep claw marks tearing through her flesh. The sight alone made my wolf, Rex, restless.

"This wasn't a rogue," Rex growled in my head. "This was something else."

I was about to examine the wounds more closely when a voice—his voice—interrupted my thoughts.

"An investigation will be carried out, right?"

I turned around sharply, surprised to see Noah still standing there. His stormy gray eyes were locked onto mine, unreadable yet filled with curiosity . I arched a brow, silently questioning why he hadn't left with the others.

"There will be an investigation, right?" he repeated, completely ignoring the unspoken warning in my gaze.

I exhaled slowly. "An investigation won’t be necessary. It was probably a bear or some other wild animal," I said, though deep

    NOAH'S POV I stuffed my hands into my pockets as we strolled across the campus grounds, Penny still ranting about how hot Professor Rex was. “I mean, did you see the way his shirt hugged his arms when he rushed in? That man was made for sin,” she gushed, practically bouncing with excitement. Nathan rolled his eyes. “You need help.” Penny scoffed. “Coming from someone who once confessed to his lecturer on her last day here.” “That was a long time ago!” Nathan hissed, his ears turning red. “And I was drunk.” “Your first semester, actually,” Penny teased. Nathan groaned. “I thought that was supposed to be a secret.” “Yeah, which is why I didn’t post the video on the school blog.” Penny grinned mischievously. “Besides, there are no secrets in our little circle, except for Noah.” My head snapped up. “What? Me?” “Yeah, you.” Penny pointed at me. “We know you’re hiding something from us, but we’re not going to push until you’re ready to tell us.” I blinked, staring at them before q

    NOAH'S POV I rushed through the hallways, dodging students as I made my way toward Professor Rex’s office. My heart pounded, but not from exhaustion—excitement fueled my every step. Just as I reached the corridor leading to his office, I spotted him ahead, walking with that same composed, intimidating aura, with students drooling from afar, since they're too scared to get close. "Professor Rex!" I called out. He paused but didn’t turn immediately. When he finally did, his golden-amber eyes locked onto mine with mild curiosity and something else. "You love chasing after me, don’t you?" he mused, his lips curling slightly. I barely stopped myself from running into him, catching my breath. "There’s going to be an investigation," I blurted out. "I found evidence!" I expected his face to light up with interest. Instead, he simply shrugged. "Okay." Okay? That’s it? "That’s all you have to say?" I questioned, stepping in front of him to block his way. He raised a brow. "Was I supp

    NOAH’S POV The library smelled like old parchment and freshly brewed coffee from the student café just outside. Tall bookshelves stretched toward the ceiling, casting long shadows across the quiet space. The dim glow of antique-style lamps made it feel cozier than eerie. Nathan sat across from me, flipping through a book, though his eyes weren’t focused on the words. I noticed it immediately. He was staring. I frowned, shifting in my seat. "What?" Nathan blinked, as if I had caught him off guard. "Huh?" "You’re staring," I pointed out, tilting my head. "Is there something on my face?" His lips twitched into a smirk, and he reached forward, pretending to pluck something from my hair. "Yeah. There was… uh… something there. Got it." I narrowed my eyes. "You’re such a bad liar." He shrugged, still smirking, before glancing back at his book. I could feel his eyes flicker toward me again, though. Before I could tease him about it, Penny burst into the library, practically bouncing

    NOAH'S POV Nathan and I walked side by side through the bustling hallway, our steps in sync as we approached our lockers. The usual hum of students filled the air—laughter, hurried conversations, the occasional locker slamming shut. But my mind was elsewhere. I was still mentally replaying last night’s disaster. Cooking had seemed like a solid plan at the time. But standing in a kitchen filled with smoke, Lucas screaming my name like I had personally betrayed him, and Gavin laughing so hard he nearly choked? Yeah. Not my finest moment. And worst of all, I didn't even got what I wanted. I sighed. “You know, in theory, cooking is just mixing ingredients and heating them up. Why is it so hard like rocket science?” Nathan chuckled beside me. “Because if you don’t know what you’re doing. You shouldn't have gone into that kitchen in the first place ” Before I could respond, a student rushed past, shoulder-bumping me hard enough to throw me off balance. I barely had time to register the

    ARES' POV The night was alive, the scent of the forest filling my nostrils as I ran. My paws barely touched the ground as I chased the silver-furred she-wolf through the thick woods. She was fast, too fast. Every time I closed the distance, she would surge ahead again, her movements fluid, teasing, tempting. A deep, satisfied growl rumbled from my chest. I liked this game. She glanced back at me, her silver-grey eyes glinting with amusement under the moonlight before she sped up. Damn, she was breathtaking. I pushed harder, muscles burning, and finally, I caught her. My teeth gently grasped her fur, and she let out a soft whimper before going still beneath me. My heart thundered in my chest. We stayed like that, breathing hard, our warmth mingling in the cold night air. Then, suddenly, she pulled away. I let her go, watching as she turned, her silver tail swaying as she walked away. Wait. I shifted back into my human form, standing tall in the clearing, waiting for her to do t

    ARES’ POV I pushed the door open with my foot, stepping into the guestroom with Noah still unconscious in my arms. The room was dimly lit, the faint glow from the bedside lamp casting soft shadows on the walls. I walked to the bed and carefully placed him down. For a moment, I just stood there, staring at him. Like I was trying to unravel him. Something about him was… off. I can feel it in my guts I’ve met thousands of people in my life, humans and wolves alike. I could read people easily. Tell who they were, what they wanted, their strengths, their weaknesses. But Noah? He was like an unsolved mystery. And I hated unsolved mysteries. There was no reason why a regular human, should have heard that growl. No reason why the beast didn’t devour him. And more importantly, no reason why I was this disturbed by him. I clenched my jaw. I will find out what you are, Noah Leister. Turning away, I grabbed his phone from my pocket. I scrolled through his contacts and found Penny and Nat

    UNKNOWN POV The dim glow of fluorescent lights flickered across the sterile white walls of the laboratory. A constant hum of machines filled the air, blending with the bubbling of chemicals inside glass tubes. The faint scent of blood and burnt flesh clung to the air. Scents I had long since grown accustomed to. I stepped inside, my boots clicking against the tiled floor, and the moment my presence registered, everyone in the lab halted their work and bowed in respect. As they should. These fools owe their existence to me. My gaze swept across the lab, rows of containment chambers filled with restrained test subjects. Some twitched violently, their bodies still adjusting to the transformation, while others lay unnaturally still. I turned to the head scientist, my voice cold and demanding. “How are the experiments progressing? Are there still bad outcomes?” The man, a middle-aged researcher with wrinkled eyes, straightened his lab coat before answering. “The process is stabilizin

    My eyes fluttered open to an unfamiliar ceiling. A slow, sinking feeling spread through my chest as I blinked, trying to adjust to my surroundings. The air smelled different, a mixture of mint and snow, something subtly cold. Not my room. Not anywhere I recognized. My heart picked up speed as I slowly sat up, scanning the dimly lit room. My stomach twisted as flashes of last night returned. The growl. The footprints. Then the beast. My breath hitched. I had seen it. Its massive form, those glowing, hungry eyes, like it wanted to devour me. I remembered the moment it attacked, the pain before I blacked out. But how am I alive? Instinctively, I touched my arms, my stomach, my legs, searching for wounds, for pain, for anything. But there was nothing. No scratches, no bruises, not even a dull ache. Was I dead? My heart pounded as the thought settled in. Maybe I had died in those woods. Maybe my body was lying somewhere, torn apart, and my brothers were out there searching for me. W

    GAVIN’S POVThe second I stepped into the living room, drenched in sweat and breathing heavily from a brutal workout session, I knew something was off. The air felt thick...tense...and not from the stench rolling off my shirt. No, this was something else.Lucas was pacing.And when he paces, something is seriously wrong.Only one person could make my ever-composed, stone-faced brother look like he was about to tear the place apart.Noah.Damn.I dropped my gym bag beside the couch and wiped the sweat from my face with the towel hanging around my neck. “Hey, Lucas. What’s up?” I asked, pretending like I didn’t already know the storm that was brewing behind his narrowed eyes.He turned to me so fast, his boots squeaked against the floor. His eyes...those infamous forest-green eyes...flashed with unfiltered rage. “Where the hell have you been?” he thundered. “I’ve been trying to reach you for hours!”I didn’t flinch. I’ve had years of practice dealing with Lucas’ temper. His anger wasn’t

    ARES' POVThe scariest part wasn’t that Little Leister was doing something to me.It was that whatever it was, I wasn’t ready to rebel against it.Hell, a dark, forbidden part of me was curious...curious to see just how far he would go, and how far I would let him.The soft, slow hum of the romantic song washed over the hall like a spell. Everyone else seemed to fade into shadows as Little Leister and I moved together, syncing to the slow, sensual rhythm. His slender waist brushed against my palm, sending unwanted shivers up my spine. His body fit against mine too perfectly.I could feel his heartbeat, fast and fluttering, through the thin material of his ridiculous gown.He lifted his gaze...those stormy-grey eyes locking with mine, searching, questioning, trembling with an emotion he couldn’t name."I never knew you were attending," he said softly, his voice delicate, almost trembling. The sound brushed against my senses like silk, igniting something dangerous inside me.I arched a

    ARES' POVI walked into the massive, glittering hall with Elsa clinging onto my arm like a stubborn vine. She was dressed in a sparkling Cinderella ballgown, her golden hair curled perfectly, looking every inch the fairy tale princess she aimed to be.Gatherings like this were never my thing. Too noisy. Too crowded. Too fake.But Elsa had begged me to come, her big blue eyes shimmering with hope. I could’ve easily said no....should have said no...but I was still trying to play the part of the dutiful mate.Tonight, I wore an all-black ensemble: black button-down, black slacks, a simple black mask covering half my face. The first three buttons of my shirt were left undone, exposing my chest, a sight that earned a few lingering glances from the female students and lecturers. I ignored them all.The second we stepped into the suffocating, over-decorated hall, regret hit me like a punch to the gut. Laughter, gossip, bad music, and even a makeshift strip show happening at one end. The air

    NOAH'S POVI stood frozen in front of my bed, staring at the shimmering black gown laid neatly across it. The fabric sparkled under the soft lights of the suite, almost as if it was trying to seduce me into wearing it.I chewed my bottom lip nervously. Could I really pull this off?Or more importantly... Should I?Sebastian must have noticed my hesitation because he sauntered over, his arms folded across his chest.“You know you don’t have to do it if you’re not comfortable,” he said gently. “Nobody’s forcing you.”I inhaled sharply, the tightness in my chest easing slightly at his words. But still, I shook my head.“No, it’s fine. I'll put it on.”If I'm going to do this, I need to commit.Just as I gathered the gown into my arms, a sharp knock rattled the door."I’ll get that," Sebastian said, already moving away.I turned my attention back to the mirror, trying to mentally prepare myself, but my thoughts derailed when the door swung open with an audible bang.Standing there was Pen

    ARES' POVThe murmuring crowd around the pool began to blur into white noise as my gaze fixed on him. Noah. He stood by the edge of the pool, his short dark, glittering under the sunset, those stormy gray eyes sparking like lightning against the clear blue water. My heart pounded in a maddening rhythm I couldn’t control, like a war drum set off by his presence, but before I could move....He did.Sebastian.The bastard approached him like a predator cloaked in silk, too smooth, too casual. His smirk was a language I understood far too well—it said I know this bothers you.I clenched my jaw as I watched him close the space between them. He grip Noah's shoulders startling him. He moved in closer, and my fingers curled tighter against the balcony rail.Then it happened.He almost pushed Noah Almost.He stumbled, dangerously close to the edge of the pool, but didn’t fall. He caught his wrist at the last second, and that smug smile never left his lips. Noah swatted his arm, then pushed hi

    My entire body went cold.How...how did she know?Elsa’s eyes glittered with cruel delight, her smirk widening as the horror registered on my face. She tilted her head slightly, like a predator toying with prey.“What?” she purred. “Shocked? Scared?”My throat felt like it had closed up. I couldn’t breathe, couldn’t blink, couldn’t even swallow.“I’ve known for a while now,” she continued nonchalantly, brushing invisible lint from her sleeve. “Lucky for you, I haven’t said a word. Yet.” She leaned closer, her breath warm and poisonous against my cheek. “But I don’t make promises, Noah. How quiet I stay depends entirely on… your behavior.”That snapped me out of my paralysis.A smirk, slow and calculated, curled at the side of my lips. The kind that always pissed people off.“Hmm,” I said coolly, meeting her eyes, “and if you’re gloating right now because you think Professor Rex wouldn’t find out, then please, book yourself a check-up. You're clearly deranged.”Her smugness flickered.

    NOAH’S POVThe moment we stepped into the gymnastics room, the scent of sweat and rubber mats greeted us. Today’s activity was all about letting off steam, yoga, boxing, cardio, lifting weights. You name it. But apparently, Penny wasn’t a fan.“Oh, hell no,” she groaned dramatically, fanning the air with her hand. “I hate the gym. The awful smell of sweat irks me. All this weight lifting and gross stretching. I already have a slender figure, Nathan’s body is literally carved by angels, and you, Noah...” she narrowed her eyes at me and poked my side, “...you’re too tiny for all this. I can’t let you break your bones trying to lift some dumbbell.”I shot her a playful glare, but I could barely keep a straight face when Nathan bit back a laugh, clearly trying not to choke.“Let’s just ditch this place and go eat,” Penny added with an exaggerated sigh. “We should focus on making Noah bigger. He’s basically snack-sized.”Nathan finally let out his laughter, patting me on the head like I wa

    UNKNOWN POVA low hum echoed through the cold, steel-plated corridor as I stepped into the restricted lab—my boots clicking against the floor like the ticking of a clock counting down to chaos.I halted before the row of iron cages, my lips curling into a wicked smile as my eyes gleamed with triumph. The beasts inside stirred, snarling lowly under their breath, their eyes glowing a feral red in the dim lighting. My creations. My monsters. My genius."They’re calm today," I noted as he approached, his white coat stained with blotches of dried fluids. He, too, wore a look of pride—like a man who believed he had created perfection. He wasn’t entirely wrong. But he wasn’t the mind behind it all. That was me."That’s because of the new serum I developed," He said coolly, motioning toward the cages. "Watch this."He turned toward the beasts, eyes flickering with excitement. Then he issued a single command through the mind-link: “Growl.”The result was instantaneous.All seven beasts erupted

    NOAH’S POVThe sun was slowly beginning to sink beneath the horizon, casting a golden glow over the beach and painting the ocean in shades of orange and pink. Laughter echoed through the salty air, mixing with the crashing of waves. Everyone seemed to be having a great time, and for once, I allowed myself to relax—just a little.Nathan was out in the water, surfing like he was born to ride the waves. His moves were clean and confident, earning cheers from the crowd each time he caught a good one. He looked carefree… in his element.Penny, on the other hand, was doing what she did best, flirting. She stood near the bonfire, tossing her wavy hair over her shoulder, her voice sweet as honey while she talked to two ridiculously good-looking guys from another department. The poor guys were clearly enchanted, their grins growing wider with every flutter of her lashes.I chuckled under my breath.If only they knew...Penny was deeply in love with her fiancé, to the point of writing sappy poe
