CHAPTER ONE

✓ Kiergan

The echoes of my scream filled the whole burning forest, as the fire burned and licked at my skin.

I had gone into the woods with my classmates to cut firewood for our camp party, when a large fire suddenly broke out, catching every tree and burning them down to ashes.

Everyone had dispersed into different directions, but I had stood there, something drawing me closer and deeper into the fire.

"Kiergan!" My best friend, Thane Blackwood, had called before running, and that was the last thing I heard before the fire took me.

While I burned, a very enormous animal began to make its way towards me. Like the torture I was going through wasn't enough.

The animal's eyes glowed in the fire with flecks of yellow, and sometimes with a hint of red.

It came closer and I saw what it was.

A wolf…

The wolf snarled and growled loudly as it approached me.
