Later that day...

RINGGGGG... The school bell rang, indicating the end of classes for the day.

Students spilled out into the hallways, laughter echoing, lockers slamming, sneakers squeaking on the polished floor. But Damien barely heard any of it. His head buzzed with noise that wasn’t just human.

He walked beside Jeremy, who was unusually quiet, hands shoved in his hoodie pocket.

“Where’s Cassie?” Jeremy finally asked.

“She’s not coming with us,” Damien said, eyes fixed ahead. “She’s going home with a friend. And we need to talk, Jeremy.”

“Yeah, I know. It’s time to get you up to loop on things that are not of the natural. But you have to promise...”

Damien glanced at him, wary. “What?”

“That you’ll stay calm and not be impulsive. What I’m about to tell you are secrets and mind-blowing revelations.”

“I promise to stay calm. Although I don’t think anything can be worse than what I already know,” Damien said, heading towards the car.

    Jeremy nodded. “My power doesn’t settle. It shifts, surges, like it’s trying to decide what I’m meant to be. When I get angry or emotional, my eyes… they change. Not the usual gold of our bloodline. Sometimes the gold burns into silver-blue, then back again. Like the moon can’t pick a side.”Damien frowned, remembering that flash he’d seen earlier. “I thought you said silvery-blue meant an Omega?”“It does,” Jeremy said quietly. “But I’m not one. That color, when it shows in someone like me, it’s not about exile. It’s about imbalance. My blood fights itself. The Ravenholtz dominance, the Silverfang discipline… they pull in opposite directions.”He ran a hand through his hair. “Sometimes, it feels like there’s two wolves inside me, both refusing to kneel.”Damien’s brows furrowed. “Sounds… exhausting.”Jeremy gave a soft laugh. “You have no idea. But I’ve learned to live with it. To channel it.” He paused, eyes distant. “I’m not the only one though… My elder brother has the same eyes a

  • CHAPTER FOURTEEN: SPARKS AT THE LAB

    The lab smelled faintly of alcohol and disinfectant, sunlight slicing through the tall windows in sharp, golden lines. Beakers clinked, microscopes hummed faintly, and the low murmur of students arranging their stations filled the air. Damien perched on the edge of his stool, notebook open but mostly ignored. Across the room, Jeremy was elbow-deep in chemistry with his lab partner, Poppy, the vampire girl.“Of course,” Jeremy muttered under his breath, “I get stuck with her.”It was Isodel the vampire girl he was attracted to,their relationship was beyond complicated but that was something he would think about later Isodel leaned in, brushing his arm as she whispered instructions. Jeremy stiffened, his jaw tight, hands slightly shaking as he handled the beakers. Damien stifled a chuckle, shaking his head. Isodel’s sly grin told him everything: she was enjoying every second of this.Damien turned to his own assignment and froze. Iris Caldwyn. She already sat at the station, calm and p

  • CHAPTER THIRTEEN: FIRST COLLISION

    The hallway was crowded, noise bouncing off the lockers as students rushed to their next class. Damien weaved through the chaos, eyes half on his schedule, half on the crowd.He turned a corner — and slammed straight into someone.Books went flying. A sharp gasp, then a thud as they both stumbled.“Shit, I’m sorry,” he said, crouching to help. The girl he’d knocked over was still on the ground, her hair falling forward and hiding her face.“It’s fine,” she said tightly, brushing at her skirt. “Just watch where you’re going next time.”He opened his mouth to reply — and then saw her properly.And words just… stopped.She was beautiful, but not in the polished, practiced way most girls tried to be. Her beauty was raw, unfiltered. Her skin was smooth, deep brown — like sunlight warming dark wood. Her curls framed her face in a wild halo that looked too perfect to be planned.Her lips were full, soft, the kind that didn’t need gloss. And her eyes… God, her eyes.Amber with faint flecks of

  • CHAPTER TWELVE: THE BEAUTIFUL AND THE WRONG

    Jeremy walked over to where Damien was standing,“You ready?” he asked, lips pursed, brows drawn together in that half-frown he always wore when he was overthinking.Damien glanced at him and smiled, not a soft one, but the kind that almost looked like a challenge. “I haven’t forgiven you yet, buddy, so don’t act all chummy,” he said, tapping Jeremy’s shoulder. “But when have I ever not been ready?”He didn’t wait for a reply. With that same easy confidence that always seemed to follow him, Damien turned and strode toward the front doors of Ravenfalls High, determination written across his face.Jeremy stood there for a second, caught off guard. For a moment, the noise of the parking lot faded, and he saw a flash of memory, the first day he’d met Damien Graves. ******They’d both been fifteen, that strange, angry age where every guy thought he was invincible.It was behind Hallow Pines Forest, wolf territory, after school. He’d been up in one of the old trees, bored, earbuds in, watc

  • CHAPTER ELEVEN: SOPHOMORE YEAR, NEW EYES

    BZZT!!!The jarring sound of the alarm by Damien's bed side jolted him up. It sliced through the silence of the morning, a silence he had fought hard to get."Uhhh," Damien groaned as he raised his hand up and dropped it down on the alarm button to shut it off. He lifted his face,eyes still drowsy with sleep and looked at the time. It was six in the morning and he'd barely gotten up to four hours of sleep. Sleep now seemed like something very impossible. Out of reach, how could he?Considering everything that has happened these past two days,he'd stayed up all night thinking about how his life was about to change.His dad had been a werewolf!!. And now, apparently, so was he? And his mom? There was a damn good chance she’d known the whole time and just never said a word.Maybe even hide it. But why?Letting out a sigh, he threw his hand over his wet face Sophomore year started today— he wasn’t a freshman anymore. There were actual things to focus on, basketball, not to mention that
