As Selena walked, lost in the labyrinth of her thoughts, the minutes slipped away unnoticed. The familiar surroundings of the school gradually gave way to the enveloping darkness of the night. The moon cast an ethereal glow, casting long shadows that danced ominously on the path before her.

Suddenly, a low growl pierced through the stillness, shattering her reverie. Her heart skipped a beat as she turned towards the source of the sound. A pack of wolves emerged from the shadows, their eyes gleaming with an eerie intensity.

Fear seized Selena's body, her breath catching in her throat. She felt a surge of adrenaline course through her veins, her instincts screaming at her to flee. But her feet seemed rooted to the spot, paralyzed by a mix of terror and fascination.

The wolves circled her, their growls growing louder and more menacing. Selena's mind raced, desperately searching for a way to escape this perilous situation. She felt a surge of regret for venturing out alone, unaware of the dangers lurking beyond the school's protective walls.

Her heart pounded in her chest, a symphony of fear and anticipation. Each breath she took felt shallow, as if the very air had turned heavy with the weight of imminent danger. The moon, once a comforting presence, now served as a haunting backdrop to this sinister encounter.

Time seemed to stretch, seconds morphing into agonizing minutes. Selena's eyes darted from one wolf to another, searching for any sign of weakness, any opportunity to survive this harrowing encounter. Her mind raced, attempting to recall any advice or knowledge that could help her in this dire situation.

As Selena stood there, trapped in the midst of the encircling wolves, a palpable sense of dread gripped her. The menacing growls grew louder, reverberating through the night air. Fear coursed through her veins like icy tendrils, threatening to paralyze her.

But just as the wolves lunged forward, their teeth bared and their eyes filled with hunger, a figure emerged from the darkness. A wolf with a majestic coat, its fur a shimmering golden hue, leaped out in front of Selena, positioning itself as a formidable barrier between her and the oncoming pack.

Time seemed to slow as Selena's eyes locked with those of the golden eyed wolf. There was a depth of understanding, an unspoken connection that passed between them in that fleeting moment. The wolf's presence exuded an aura of power and command, as if it held authority over the wild creatures that sought to harm her.

A fierce battle cry erupted from the wolf's throat, a resonating howl that seemed to shake the very ground beneath them.

As the resonating howl of the golden eyed wolf pierced the night, a wave of raw power and authority washed over the surroundings. It was as if the very essence of the cry commanded respect and obedience from the other wolves.

In an instant, the atmosphere shifted. The once aggressive pack members now recoiled, their predatory instincts overridden by a primal fear. Their ears flattened against their heads, and their tails tucked between their hind legs as they scrambled away, retreating into the shadows.

"Who are you?" Selena asked in fear but full of curiosity. As the golden eyed wolf retreated into the darkness, Selena's breath caught in her throat. adrenaline coursing through her veins slowly subsided, replaced by a mix of relief and bewilderment. And then, in a mesmerizing display of transformation, the wolf shifted and morphed back into a human form, standing before Selena as none other than Lucas himself.

"You're...... You're a Lycan?" Selena said, stammering , her eyes filled in shock.
