Chapter 16: Damn Hiro!

The students stood in seven straight lines, barely visible in the dark. The streetlights were off, and no one seemed to know why. For someone like Angela, who didn’t have a wolf’s sharp vision, it was a nightmare.

She slipped into the line just in time, her chest rising and falling fast. Her eyes darted around, hoping to spot Stales, but he was nowhere to be found. If only she had come earlier, maybe she wouldn’t feel so lost in the crowd.

The Alphas moved through the lines, their presence heavy. Alpha Renn circled to the back, scanning for any lazy stragglers.

Angela let out a shaky breath. She wanted to stay invisible. But of course, life had other plans.

Alex was right in front of her.

Seriously? Why him? Her luck must’ve died the day she was born, because she always seemed to attract the exact people she didn’t want around.

She chuckled under her breath, amused by her own thoughts.

Alex turned around, raising a brow. "Angel... I’m supposed to be the last in the line," he said, stepping behind her.

She rolled her eyes. "Whatever."
