FINN
I’ve spent years looking for hybrids like me. I found a few men, and a couple of them became my friends.
As history tells, there were only six hybrid girls born in the last two hundred and fifty years, and only one of them survived the transition. She was hunted down and killed by werewolves way before she could learn about her purpose or find a way to harvest her powers and fulfill her destiny as the heir of the Great Alpha.
I could’ve never dreamed of meeting a female half-witch, half-wolf.
And here she was. And she was perfect.
Every day we spent together brought us closer to each other, and it became hard to part from her. I knew she felt the same way. I could sense her attraction to me, and so did my wolf.
After dinner, she walked me to the car, and when I said goodbye to her, my wolf surfaced and released a quiet growl. It took great effort for me not to kiss her as her blue eyes looked back at me with longing. But if I did, it would make it even harder for me to leave, and for her to let me go.
I knew I would see her again in a few weeks, but for how long? The thought that I could lose her at the next full moon was unbearable.
Will Spencer survive the shift? And if she did, she would still be in great danger. Would I be able to keep her safe? I would die before I would let someone hurt her. But would I alone be enough to protect her from what’s coming?

SPENCER
That night, once again, I heard a howl under my window. I slid down from the bed, looked out, and saw a wolf looking up at me from behind a tall bush.
Oh my God, he’s huge.
I pulled my sweatpants on and ran outside. I rounded the house, and with my heart beating in my throat, I slowly approached the wolf.
“Finn?” I whispered, stretching my shaking hand toward him.
Gracefully, he moved closer, and when he stopped in front of me, his head was level with mine.
His big gray pupils with golden rings shone in the dark.
“You’re gorgeous,” I beamed, sinking my fingers into his soft fur glowing silver under the moonlight.
He released a quiet growl. Then he stepped back, bowed his head, and ran away. Pinned to the spot, I watched him disappear into the darkness of the grove.

SPENCER
The next day at school, Brian slammed his back against my locker right before I was about to open it.
“So, is that it then?” he fixed me with his poignant look. “You’re gonna dump me for some guy who you’ve only known for a few days just because he was, what, nice to you?”
“No. It’s not because he was nice. It’s becauseyouweren’t.” I shook my head in disappointment. “That day at the party, I told you I wasn’t feeling well, and instead of walking me home, you pushed me against a tree. Because who cares that Spencer is in pain, right? You had to have yourfun,”I emphasized the last word for him.
He opened his mouth to say something, but I raised my finger, shushing him.
“If you sayyou’re sorryone more time, I’ll punch you in the face. It’s over, Brian. And not because of the guy. This wasn’t the first time you mistreated me, and I had enough of your excuses. Here’s my advice. When you meet a new girl, don’t screw it up just because all you care about is yourself. Think, if not with your heart, then at least with your head. And I mean the one above your shoulders.”

I was so ready for school to be over, but after Finn left, it was like time had slowed down and the days seemed much longer. He called every night to check on me. Every time I heard his voice, I remembered that sad smile he gave me at the lake. I knew it wasn’t only because he was leaving. Something worried him.
After seeing his wolf, I kept imagining myself as a wolf running with him through the woods. I wondered if my wolf would be as big as his.
