Max broke in a sweat. "Again?" He cried.

This panic alerted the other wolves.

What's happening to me? I thought I was fine!

Shadow immediately came to his aid, right before he vomited and collapsed.

......................................

He found himself in a dark room with no light whatsoever. When he breathed, it echoed off the walls. The chill in the emptiness didn't settle right with him. He noticed he was in his human form again.

Royal Road is the home of this novel. Visit there to read the original and support the author.

Suddenly, a figure wearing a dark cloak brushed past him. The top half of her face was covered by a hood, her long sleeves were connected together as she walked. Another one emerged with same position.

Then another, and then another.

He stood in place, in the center of the room.

They chanted something to him, and cackled.

What was going on? What IS this?

One of the girls stood before him, smiling at his confused expression. Slowly she walked closer and closer to him, her hand reached out to grab his neck and held him up. She tossed him to the floor, and with that, all of them came onto him at once.

The last thing he saw was the girl that just threw him, but there was something off about her now. She wasn't there anymore, in her place stood a gray wolf just like him, but she was covered in a cloudlike mass, the color of a very, very dark gray. The wolf was surrounded by flecks of black dust...

Kind of like...Scarlett.

The wolf laughed as she lunged at him.
