Madeline:
My body hit the ground with a thud.
With my eyes barely open, I saw the old man standing there.
The whole façade of him not being able to walk had been a poorly constructed act once he noticed I was arriving.
I should have known that a man with so much knowledge and wisdom, a man who had spent his entire life. studying wolves, would sense something unique in me.
I only wish I had known how insane the werewolf land truly was.
Once again, I failed to learn from my lessons.
The wolfsbane injected into me knocked me out, but not completely, probably because the part of the wolf that was supposed to communicate with me wasn’t awake.
My wolf was active, but not fully.
She would appear whenever she wanted and then go silent again.
The wolfsbane would only work if she was completely awake.
Still, it was strong enough to knock me out because of its nature.
The next thing I knew, the old man came downstairs, grabbed me by the hair, and dragged me to the middle of the basement.
He locked a silver shackle around my ankle and started flipping through some pages while I drifted in and out of consciousness.
For a brief moment, I passed out.
When I woke up again, the old man was back downstairs. He was smiling, holding a needle in his hand.
“The grey wolf. It seems like your wolf isn’t very active. But don’t worry, I know a way to awaken a wolf. Once I do, I’ll put you through different trials and tests. I’ll give you happiness by making you think you’re free. I’ll give you sadness by giving you bad news about your loved ones. And then I’ll give you lust p>
The old man’s eyes lingered on my body, and I cringed, wrapping my arms around the chain, trying to free myself from the shackles.
My palms burned from the silver, and I cried as I crawled toward the corner of the basement.
“Then I will make a baby with you, just to see how strong your child will be,” he said, making me hiss and grunt at him.
“Oh, I know you have children. But I can’t bring them here to test them, right? So you’ll have to make a new one, this time while being an active she–wolf. And how will I activate it? With the help of this p>
He lifted the needle. Inside, something red swirled through a white liquid.
“ What is that?” I asked, panicking.
“It’s an activator. But remember, when it activates a wolf, it does so in the deadliest way. I can’t wait to put you

through all the tests and finally complete my research,” the old man chuckled, hunched over, barely able to walk.
“As for the mating part, we will sleep together. But don’t hope for feelings from me. I’m not a romantic man. Even though you’re beautiful, I won’t fall for you. So don’t expect love,” he teased as he began walking upstairs.
I clenched my fists, noticing that one of my arms was also chained.
I pulled hard, looking around for something to free myself, but the silver chains held me back, as they would any werewolf.
Then I heard commotion upstairs.
The old man’s voice came through the speaker, giving me a hint about what was happening.
The three alphas.
Was it Elgin, Graham, and Baxter? Were they really here? How the hell did they find me?
The old man held the little speaker in his hand as he walked down to the basement, chuckling when he saw me.
I heard one of the alphas yell back, but it didn’t affect him at all.
“They will never come downstairs. And if they do, by then, I will have you transferred from here,” the old man said, pointing toward something on the wall. “There’s a hidden door, it’s a tunnel. It opens to the shore. I’ll load you onto a boat, and we’ll be gone to a completely new place p>
He chuckled as he climbed on top of me.
I struggled against him with my free hand, but the other was still chained.
Then I saw the red syringe in his grasp.
“Let me go!” I screamed.
He stabbed the needle straight into my chest, right through my heart.
My body went still as he injected the liquid, and my heartbeat began to slow.
I didn’t know what this evil man planned to do, but I knew he had injected the activator into me.
For a moment, everything froze.
All I could see was him, blurred in the fog.
Smoke filled my vision as he began to move toward me.
I wanted to run away from him, like I had before, but my body wouldn’t move,
“You can’t run from me, Madeline. You can never run from me p>
His low, velvety voice echoed before I gasped awake, the activator had finished coursing through my veins.
My chest rose sharply, my heart pounding harder than ever.
The old man climbed off me and threw the needle aside.
“Now I’ll give you wolfsbane so you’ll fall asleep. It’ll be easier to take you through the tunnel,” he said.
But he had underestimated the grey wolf.

I looked up at him, and just one glance made him start to tremble.
“You fool. You gave me an activator. Did you not think waking the wolf would be a disaster?” I growled, my voice shifting.
“Huh? Wait–I need to give you this quickly!” The old man panicked.
As he tried to get closer, the needle slipped from his hand.
I felt it, the fear inside him, and then I let go.
My mouth opened, and a blood–curdling scream burst out as my wolf awakened.
She broke the chains and shattered the shackles.
The next thing I knew, my wolf was on her feet, towering so tall that the old man looked small beneath her.
He trembled violently, and then a sharp, sour smell filled the air as he wet himself.
I was no longer in control of my body, but this time, I was awake inside it.
For the first time, my transformation was complete, my wolf and I were one. And together, we attacked the old
man.
