The Wolves: "I threw myself to the wolves, only to learn of the tenderness in their howl, and the loyalty in their blood."

                       ~Billy's POV~

        "Stop!!! Stop!!! It hurts!!!" I screamed.

        The darkness of the skies loomed over as I was screaming in pain.

        "This will all be over Billy." A voice said.

        "Stop!!!" I screamed once more.

        Lighting struck in the skies and just before the pain continued, I sat up.

        I was breathing hard and I was sweating profusely. I looked around and saw that I was in my bedroom here in California.

        "Fuck...just another nightmare." I murmured to myself.

        I slowly got out of my bed and stretched out my muscles. I went to my drawer and changed out of the sweaty shirt and just decided to go back to bed shirtless.

        But, before I made it back to my bed, I noticed that the sun was rising.

        These nightmares have plagued my life ever since I moved back to California two years ago. I don't have them as often. But, when I do, I lose a night of sleep.

        At least, when I came back here, I was away from the monster that had hurt me and turned me into this creature.

        However, since Max has informed me of Nathan's return a few months ago, I have been doing everything I can to keep a low profile. I have also been keeping an eye out on Max, Lucas, and my best friend Celeste.

        The last thing that I want is for them to be in danger.

        Now, it is the start of summer here in California and Max has informed me that she has seen Nathan around town.

        I do plan on coming out of hiding and not give him the satisfaction of winning.

        There is a life out there for me and I want to show this monster that I am not weak anymore.

        These thoughts race through my mind as I head to the beach to watch the sunrise.
