Lottie and I supported each other, sharing ideas and helping out with difficult points, making studying much more manageable.As the rain continued outside, we remained immersed in our studies, completely absorbed in the world of mathematics and history.

Falling for the wolf 62
Kessler and I were heading to the kitchen when we heard the crash of the door. We ran to the living room and Lucas was already gone.“He went to the forest,” Kessler said with urgency in his voice. “He wants to transform and he shouldn’t be alone, he could make a mess.”“What? I’m going with you,” I said, determined not to let Lucas face this alone.“No, stay, it’s dangerous,” Kessler insisted before running toward the forest. But I wasn’t going to sit idly by. I followed them without hesitation.The cold night air hit my face as I ran toward the forest, following Kessler. The rain had made the ground slippery, and the wet branches made the path difficult, but I couldn’t stop. I knew Lucas needed our help.In the distance, I glimpsed Kessler’s figure moving through the trees with supernatural agility. The full moon shone brightly, illuminating our path and casting long, mysterious shadows. My heart pounded with adrenaline and fear of the unknown.Finally, I reached a clearing in the f

The air in the room was filled with tense silence, only broken by Lucas's ragged breaths. Kessler and I exchanged looks, both knowing that this was just the beginning of a long and challenging journey."We need to better understand his transformations," Kessler said as he struggled to stand up. "It's getting harder each time."I nodded, feeling the weight of responsibility. "We can't let him go through this alone," I replied, looking at Lucas who was now resting more peacefully. "We have to find a way to help him control his changes."Kessler leaned over the nearby table and pulled out an old book, its pages worn with time. "There might be something here," he said, carefully flipping through the book. "This diary belonged to someone who went through the same thing. Maybe their experiences will give us a clue."As Kessler read aloud, I stayed watching Lucas. In his wolf form, he still retained a part of his essence, a connection that hadn't been severed despite the transformations. I g

His smile was genuine, and I could see a glint in his eyes that filled me with a wave of hope. Despite all the pain and struggle, he had found something positive in his transformation."I'm glad to hear that," I replied, gently squeezing his shoulder. "But we need to be prepared. We don't know what else might happen."Kessler approached and placed a hand on Lucas's shoulder. "You have incredible strength, Lucas. But we must continue training and preparing. This is just the beginning."Lucas nodded, his expression now more serious. "I know. I'm ready for whatever comes. I don't want to be a burden to you both.""You're part of this family," I said, looking at both of them. "We'll face this together. No one is alone in this."Carefully, we began to walk back to the house. The journey back seemed quieter, though we still felt the tension in the air. The presence of the she-wolf had been a reminder that we were not alone in this forest, and that there were more challenges to come.When we

The sun shone warmly over us as Kessler and I relaxed at the picnic. The fresh country air, mixed with laughter and camaraderie, made the day feel perfect despite the challenges we still faced ahead.After taking several photos and enjoying the delicious food Kessler had prepared, we lay on the blanket, looking at the sky. White clouds floated lazily, and a bird flew by, momentarily breaking the silence."This is just what we needed," I said, intertwining my fingers with Kessler's. "A moment of peace before facing whatever comes next."Kessler nodded, his gaze fixed on the sky. "That's true. But it's also important to remember why we're fighting. Moments like this give us the strength to keep going."I turned to him, admiring his strong and determined profile. "Thank you for being here, Kessler. I don't know what I would do without you."He looked at me, his eyes full of a tenderness that made me feel safe and loved. "I'll always be here for you, Eva. We're a team, and I won't let you

Lucas went to class moments later, and I was left alone in the house, deep in thought. I remembered Kessler and how well our relationship was going. I smiled foolishly at the thought of him. I liked him, I admitted, I liked him a lot.I was about to go up to my room when someone rang the doorbell. I went downstairs and put my hand on the doorknob. When I opened the door, I realized the grave mistake I had made, for there was Riley with her malicious smile."What the hell do you want, Riley?" I demanded, defiant."I haven't seen you much in class," she said in a mocking voice. "Are you avoiding me?"I laughed, though inside I felt a mix of anger and caution. "Not in your dreams. You and I have unfinished business," I said, remembering everything Kessler had told me about Riley and her plan to harm me.Riley stepped closer, her expression turning serious. "You don't know who you're dealing with, Eva. But you will soon find out.""Oh yeah? And what do you plan to do?" I asked, maintainin

I felt as if the world was collapsing around me. The word "mate" echoed in my mind, carrying a weight that was hard to grasp."What... what do you mean by that?" I asked, my voice barely a whisper.Kessler looked down, as if he couldn't bear to see my reaction. "In our world, mates are predestined. It's a deep, almost unbreakable bond. Even though my heart belongs to you, she feels that bond more intensely. It's a connection that goes beyond simple attraction."Lucas, who had been silent until now, intervened. "It's complicated, Eva. Riley is convinced that Kessler belongs to her. And that makes her dangerous."The pieces began to fall into place in my mind. Riley's threats, her persistence, it all made more sense now. But even so, I couldn't accept that it was enough to justify her behavior."So, what are we supposed to do? Keep running? Live in fear of her attacks?" I asked, my voice rising with desperation.Kessler looked at me, his eyes filled with sadness and determination. "No.

The sun was just beginning to light up my room when I got out of bed. I went straight to the bathroom, trying to clear my mind of worries as the hot water ran over my skin. I had to focus on my classes and what would come next.I finished showering, dressed quickly, and went down to the kitchen. My dad was already there, holding a cup of coffee with a pensive look on his face."Good morning, Dad," I said, trying to sound casual."Good morning, Eva. Did you sleep well?" he asked, though his eyes showed he had something else on his mind."Surprisingly well, given the circumstances," I replied, pouring myself a glass of juice. "Listen, Dad, I've been thinking about what you said last night, about Kessler and everything that's going on. I'm determined to help resolve this safely."He sighed and nodded. "I know, Eva. But you have to promise me you'll be careful. I don't want anything to happen to you.""I promise, Dad. Kessler and I are going to talk to his mother today. We'll try to find
