Chapter 2

• INDIGO
• "Get her out of here." I heard a low menacing growl and shuddered as I stared at those intense brown eyes.
• Why do I want to keep staring at those eyes?
• Something stirred inside of me and I felt an unmistakable urge to touch this man, even as he glare at me like I was irritating.
• I had no idea where I am and all the memories of how we were attacked came back rushing, I don't know what happened back there but I could see I was separated from my pack.
• These people might be after my life and the scary man with brown eyes, he took a step closer to me like he couldn't stop himself.
• "Stand up" He commanded and my knees turned weak as I stood on wobbly feet.
• There is just something about him that makes me want to...
• "What? Alpha Ly-" A blond man started speaking but a growl from him shut him up instantly.
• It felt like I was a lamb in the midst of this wolves and I backed away, frightened by the dark aura around them.
• A pretty brown haired woman sighed. "Lyriq, you know she has elemental powers...and you do too. You'll be the best person to help her." She stated and I blinked rapidly after realizing they are talking about me.
• "But I don't want to help her." The alluring man-- Lyriq said and glaring at me, he suddenly grabbed my shoulder and I shrieked backing away from him as a sparks of fire were brought to life on my fingertips.
• "Look at her! She doesn't even know how to control her powers." He bellowed and I flinched.
• "Which is why she is going to the academy, isn't she?" The woman who has being quiet all along finally spoke and she was painting her elongated claws, as if this was a place for such a thing.
• "Is there something you're not telling us?" The brown haired woman asked.
• He ignored her completely his eyes fixtated on mine, and I could feel his anger but I couldn't explain the strange glint in his eyes.
• "Who are you?"
• "Indigo Lakspur..." I replied in a croaked voice and he scowled at my reply.
• "We know that." He bared his teeth at me and she balked.
• Why does he have to be so cruel?
• He tugged me closer to him and rest my head on his hard chest.
• "Who are you? Your people possess necromancing powers. Why are you not a necromancer?" He asked and it felt like he was trying to compel me, but all I could think of was this proximity and I couldn't focus with my heart beating so loudly I was afraid he could hear.
• "I-i don't know." I managed to reply and he shoved me away from him.
• "Look, I don't have time for this, you better give me an answer or-"
• "Take it easy on the girl, Lyriq," The blond man interrupted.
• "Why are you feigning concern? You don't even care." Lyriq countered and I look around to gather their facial expressions, they all seemed so chill while he is being cruel to me.
• "I don't. But you've had enough time with your new plaything." He replied exchanged glances with the others, "Take her to the academy, she will be a useful asset when the time comes."
• ***
• That was how I was taken out of that mysterious place, and you'd think I will be safe now but unfortunately for me Lyriq is the one taking me to the so called academy.
• "You would have to ride me," A cool masculine voice jolted me out of my thoughts.
• "W-what?"
• He sighed let I was insufferable and it reminded me of Cohen.
• What happened to my family? I haven't mustered the courage to ask such questions.
• "You can't shift. You're wolfless. And we need to get to the academy before sunset, you would have to ride my wolf." He explained.
• "Oh, I thought-"
• "I don't care about what you think," He snapped and immediately ripped his clothes off, I looked away flushed with embarrassment.
• His golden brown wolf shimmered in the natural light and he step back a little giving me more space.
• He nudged me towards him and I hesitantly grabbed his soft fur, I couldn't help stroking his back and he purred in retaliation. With a huff, I hopped into his back and he trudge along the path slowly at first, but then he suddenly increased the speed and my screams were partially drowned by the wind.
• After a few hours of running, we got to a huge building with a large gate 'Shadowbrook Academy' was written on top of it's bars, this is my clue to get down and I got off his back and wait for him to shift. Again, I looked away until he was done, he wordlessly led the way in and I followed him like a lost pup.
• "Welcome to Shadowbrook Academy. School of the gifted wolves." He stopped and turned to me. "Three things, the first one...the moment you get expelled, you will be deemed useless by The Sanctum, and we know how to get rid of useless wolves, trust me. The second one...this is a school filled with gifted wolves, avoid getting on anyone's nerves. And lastly, try not to get killed."
• "What is The Sanctum?" I asked because it felt like the important piece of information I needed.
• "It's a society of high-ranked supernaturals," He responded,
• "And are you part of the Sanctum?" I asked out of curiosity, if he is then he is a powerful wolf.
• "Yes, I am a member."
• "Are you going to kill me?" I pushed my luck asking such a question, but I needed to know.
• "Let's just hope it doesn't get to that." He stared straight ahead ignoring my existence again and I refuse to let this chance go.
• "How do-" I didn't finish when he suddenly yanked me, He pinned her against the wall before I could even react,
• "You need to stop asking me questions, Little Red." His nose brushed mine slightly and I quickly drew a harsh breath, he pressed his middle on stomach and I felt....
• Why does he have a hard on?
• I squeaked and tried my best to push him off me, he released a condescending chuckle and curled a lock of my short hair around his finger, observing it for a split second before he stepped away from me taking all his warmth with him.
• "Let's go. Your classes aren't going to attend themselves." He said and I nodded.
• We walked side by side without saying anything for a moment.
• "The first class you're going to have is the art of manipulation. And which person is best to take the class except the master of shadow manipulation himself?" He preached in a bored tone.
• He opened the door to reveal a class that was pitch black. I pressed myself to his side out of fear.
• This is shadow manipulation and I have never seen it's magic before.
• The shadows stopped moving and everything was still. But then, it was like a vacuum opened and the blackness started getting sucked into the singular human wielder.
• His dark hair was the first thing we saw as he stepped off the platform to meet us.
• "Mate."
