The School of Wolves

In a world ruled by the powerful howl of shapeshifters, Crescent, or Cress, stands as an anomaly. Born without the coveted wolf gene, she navigates a society where lineage dictates destiny and the scent of human is an invitation for scrutiny. As the 'wolf-less purebred' daughter of an Alpha, her existence is a defiant whisper in a chorus of growls. Can she survive the brutal hierarchy of the Wolf Games and the whispers that brand her an outsider? Or will the secrets of her past, hinted at in her striking blonde hair and blue eyes, shatter everything she thought she knew about herself and her place in this wild world? Prepare for a journey of self-discovery, hidden identities, and the fierce fight for belonging.

The oppressive scent of sweat hung heavy in the small arena, thick with the obnoxious hollering of students, their echoes amplifying the din. My heart hammered against my ribs with every ticking second, a frantic drumbeat I desperately feared would be heard by those around me. The thought alone made my hands tremble, threatening to betray a weakness I could never afford to show.

Just then, the announcer, a towering figure, sprang onto the seven-foot-high podium, microphone in hand. His deep voice boomed, cutting through the clamor and whipping the crowd into a frenzy.

“Next up is the fight between Cress and Aubrey!”

A sudden, eerie silence descended, a split second of held breath before the arena erupted into a wild roar. This was the fight everyone had been waiting for: the human, pitted against a beta's daughter.
