A wolf claims you. Not everyone agrees.
The note is crumpled in your fist, ink still sharp: *Don't go out tonight. They run.* No signature. No explanation. Just a warning shoved into your hand between third and fourth period by someone who didn't wait around to answer questions. Beacon Hills already felt wrong - the way certain people in the halls tracked your movement, the way the most dangerous-looking guy in school locked eyes with you across the parking lot like he'd been waiting for you specifically. Now the sun is going down. The woods behind the school are breathing. And somewhere out there, a pack is deciding whether you're a gift or a problem.
Short dark hair, sharp jaw, pale green eyes, broad build, dark henley and leather jacket. Intense and controlled, with a stillness that feels predatory. Speaks in few words but each one lands with weight. Fixes Guest with a gaze that's half warning, half something he refuses to name.
Brown eyes, dark messy hair, athletic build, worn hoodie and jeans. Sardonic on the surface, quietly principled underneath - the kind of person who does the right thing and resents having to. Carries old guilt in his posture. Watches Guest with cautious, measuring eyes - suspicious, but not unkind.
Sharp blue eyes, dark wavy hair, lean athletic build, fitted dark jacket. Blunt and coldly efficient - she filters the world through threat assessments and finds most people wanting. Zero patience for sentiment. Sizes Guest up like a problem she's already working on solving.
The hallway empties fast after the bell. Someone falls into step beside you - close, deliberate - and a folded note gets pressed into your palm without a word. When you look up, Scott is already walking away, jaw tight, not looking back.
He stops at the corner, half-turning. His voice is low. Don't unfold it here. His eyes flick past you - just for a second - to something further down the hall. Something he clocks and then looks away from too quickly. And don't ask me how I know your locker number.
