The silence that followed his words was palpable, as if the world itself had stopped. My father blinked, his face a mask of disbelief and confusion. "What are you saying, Lucas?"Lucas closed his eyes for a moment, as if searching for the courage within himself. Then, before our father's astonished eyes, his body began to change. His human form faded away, replaced by the majestic shape of a wolf.The transformation was quick, but each second felt eternal. Our father's eyes widened, his face paling. "This... this can't be. It's not possible," he murmured, stepping back, unable to process what he was seeing.Lucas, now in his wolf form, approached slowly, his eyes filled with deep sadness. With a fluid motion, he shifted back to his human form, his expression pleading. "Dad, it's true. It always has been. I've hidden this out of fear of your reaction, but I can't continue like this. You need to understand that I'm part of this, part of the pack."Our father staggered, seeking support f

**POV Lucas:**Kessler hesitated for a moment but nodded, knowing he couldn't stop me. We headed towards the source of the howl, our steps quick but cautious. The forest was eerily silent, broken only by the crunch of our footsteps on the fallen leaves.As we ventured deeper, the air seemed thicker, charged with a disturbing energy. My senses were heightened, my heart pounding in my chest. Kessler and I advanced in silence, exchanging glances now and then, alert for any movement.Suddenly, a flash of movement between the trees caught our attention. We stopped, watching intently. What I saw froze my blood: Riley, Kessler's ex-girlfriend, emerged from the shadows, her gaze fixed on us. But she wasn't alone. She held Eva, my younger sister, with a firm arm around her neck, a look of madness and determination on her face."Riley, let her go," Kessler ordered, his voice low but authoritative. I could see the tension in his body, ready to attack at any moment.Riley smiled, a twisted and da

*Eva's POV:*The sun reflected off the tranquil waters of the lake, casting a golden glow that bathed the lakeside house in warm and welcoming light. Laughter filled the air, mingling with the sizzling of the grill and the delicious aroma of cooking food. It was a perfect day, a moment of celebration and peace, the kind of day that seemed to come straight out of a dream.The threat of Riley had vanished, and with it, the shadows that had clouded our lives. I felt a deep sense of relief seeing everyone gathered, relaxed and happy, enjoying each other's company without the weight of secrets and fears.Kessler stood by the grill, joking with Lucas as they tended to the meat. Lucas, with his girlfriend Lottie by his side, couldn't stop smiling. Lottie, a girl with a contagious laugh and vibrant energy, had integrated perfectly into our family and the pack. Seeing my brother so happy filled me with joy.My father was conversing with Kessler's mother, Clara, a woman with a kind demeanor and

"Cristine!"I turn to see who is calling me from the other side of the road. It's Maia, my best friend. I smile like crazy and run to her, hugging her tightly."It's been so long!" we jump with joy.We hadn't seen each other for two months, and now we were together again. Maia and I had been best friends since childhood because my mom and my Aunt Anne were also best friends. So Maia and I grew up like sisters."Yes, I have so much to tell you," she pulls back, "we went to many places in Canada; I hadn't been there in so long. My dad and mom spoiled me a lot on this trip."We walk toward the entrance of the high school. Everyone was arriving, greeting each other, and catching up on things they had missed. It had been a long vacation. Here in Lewiston, the year was just beginning, and another school cycle was starting. It was my second-to-last year of school."I'm glad to hear that, Maia; at least you spent more time with them," I tell her."I know. And you tell me, where did you go wit

"¿What do you want, Amanda?" I pulled away from her grasp. I wasn't a little girl anymore to be intimidated by her."Don't play dumb. With what right do you get so close to my boyfriend and try to defend him as if you were his girlfriend? Get a grip.""I just..." In reality, she was partly right; Kaleb wasn't anything to me, and I had rushed over as if I had some claim over him. I had just been worried about him and acted on instinct. "I just wanted to be kind," I crossed my arms.She laughed."Well, this is the last time you get close to him, or next time you'll deal with me, little Cristine, and I don't care if your father is the..." she fell silent."My father what?""I don't care if your father or mother come to complain to me later. You've been warned," she gave me a shove and walked past me, back to the cafeteria.I followed them. Inside, there was a commotion."Cris!" Maia came over to me, carrying my bag. "What happened?""Nothing. What happened to Kaleb?"I looked past her,

"What's wrong with you? I'm not yours!" I pushed him away, heading for the door. "Now please leave, my parents will be home any minute.""Kayler and Carolina? They're too busy romancing on some nearby hill. Don't worry about them.""What are you talking about?" I opened the door for him.And then he seemed to understand something."What?" I wanted to know."Never mind. I'm hungry, so I think I'll go find something to eat." He walked to the door but stopped in front of me first. "You smell so good," he said, "it's a pleasant scent. See you tomorrow, Cristine."And he left my house.I watched him walk away, not understanding anything that had just happened. Why does Liam act so weird? I couldn't figure it out. I saw him head into the woods, which seemed even stranger, but I didn't give it much thought. However, just as I was about to close the door, I heard a howl that struck me right in the heart.Wolves?As far as I knew, there were no wolves in Lewiston.If that's the case, I'm in tr

"Cristine... here you are," Mom sighed with relief. I smiled to hide my nervousness; I didn't want her to notice. Mom is an expert at detecting any change in my mood. "Your father and I picked up some pizza for dinner. Do you want some?" She approached and stroked my blonde hair."Sure... I'm really hungry. Where's Damian?" I asked since I hadn't seen him for a while. According to Mom, he was supposed to be on a trip with some friends, but sometimes I doubted certain things. Sometimes I felt like my acquaintances, even my parents, were hiding things from me. I didn't like that."Damian will be back tomorrow, honey. I know you miss him.""A lot."Damian is my older brother, but Gabriel is the eldest. He doesn't live with us; he's studying far away, and we don't know when he'll return."Come on, let's go." We went down to the kitchen where Dad was serving pizza slices on plates. "When are we going to visit Grandma?" I wanted to know, sitting down and starting to eat. "This weekend, how

The next day, Maia and I met as usual on the street."How did you sleep? Everything okay?" she asked me."So-so. I hardly slept."We were chatting calmly when we heard noises in the forest."What is that?" Maia inquired."We should find out," I said, taking Maia by the hand and leading her into the forest. I wasn't known for being afraid. Besides, this forest was very peaceful."Careful," she told me. The sound of growling intensified even more. We reached a flat area and stopped short when we saw the enormous wolf in front of us. I stopped breathing."What do we do now?" Maia inquired."Calm down." Maia and I backed away from the place slowly so that the wolf wouldn't feel like we were fleeing. It was far away, but we could see it among the bushes. Now I remember what Dad said: wolves can't hurt me. But why? Why does he say it so confidently? The wolf stayed in that same place; it's not the same one I saw the other time eating a deer, this is another one."Cristine, let's run. We're

Feeling Liam kiss me again is strange. It felt like that the first time, but today..."Liam, don't do this," I said, pulling away from him, stopping the kiss. I can't believe that just hours ago I had an encounter with Theo, and now I'm kissing Liam.Liam looked at me, amused."Admit that you liked it.""I'd better go."I turned and started to walk away, but Liam followed me."Cristine, you'll fall into my traps, just wait and see.""You'd better stop here; I don't want to cause more problems with my parents.""It doesn't matter facing your father, Cristine."I stopped abruptly and looked at him."It matters to me because I don't want anyone to ruin our relationship. I love my father too much, and I couldn't let anyone come between us."Liam said nothing, remaining silent and thoughtful. I turned and finally walked away from him. When I got home, I braced for my dad's scolding."Honey, you're back," Mom said, watching TV in the living room. "Your Aunt Anne called and said you were at

"Well, well," an annoying voice comes up beside me. "But I left you at home, Cristine. You're quick."Liam positions himself next to me, a playful smile on his face."Liam, why do I find you everywhere?" I crossed my arms. Being with Liam made me calm down immediately."I could ask you the same thing," he said, putting his finger on his chin. "I find you everywhere.""Are you following me?"He laughed."You wish," he winked at me. "Either way, I need you to leave.""Why?"I'm just starting to forget the deal I made with Kaleb."You should be the one to leave," I pointed at him. "I don't want you to talk to me, much less look at me.""And why is that?"I said nothing.I felt embarrassed."I see. So you want me to stay away from you."He looked disheartened."Yes.""I didn't think you were one of those girls who does what others tell her. I thought you were different." Liam gave me one last look before heading towards the dark forest. I wanted to shout for him to stop, but I didn't dare
