The Wolf Trials (Sequel to The Wolf Runner)

Chapter 1

Stiles' PoV

I shoot up. My whole body shacking, beds of sweat plastering my forehead.
Panicking, I take in my surroundings, trying to figure out where I was.

My name is Stiles Stilinski. My father is the sheriff and my mother is dead. My best friend is a werewolf. And I am one of the last candidates for the trials.
I repeat this in my mind over and over again, making sure that I don't forget anything again.
The last thing I remember is Ava sticking a needle in to my neck and then darkness.
I slowly stand up, the whole world spins around me for a bit until I steady myself against a wall.

I look up and notice that there is no roof above me. Only a night sky, illuminated by stars, but even then they seem dead. As if WICKED stole all of there light away.
I look around at my surroundings more carefully. I notice that I'm actually outside and leaning against a wall in a narrow alley.

When I finally manage to regain my balance, I start to make my way to a big opening that I can see straight ahead. Using the walls as a guide, I start to walk forward.

The opening seemed closer than it actually was, and during my attempt to get out of the alleyway I end up tripping a few times over rats and boxes of stuff.

When I finally manage to stumble out of the alleyway I notice a row of street lamps further down the street that I'm standing in the middle of.
As far as I could see there wasn't a sole on the streets apart from me and a few scurrying rats.

Up ahead I mange to make out a bright light through the crack in a window. Slowly I stumble over to the house, hoping to find my friends or at least someone that could help me.

When I reach the house I notice that it's much bigger than I imagined and the light seemed to be growing.
Curiously I bang on the door, trying to get someone's attention. When no one answers I try the door handle. The handle turns easily under my grasp as I push the door open.

"Hello! Is anyone here!" I shout, my voice hoarse and my throat dry from lack of water. "Hello!" I try again.
When I get no reply I decide to make my way towards the living room, where I saw the light.

As soon as I open the door I'm suddenly overwhelmed by an unbearable heat.
In front of me, a fierce fire is raging in the corner of the room.
Panicked I go to race out of the door when suddenly the room exploded.

Thanks so much for being patient with this chapter! I promise that a new one will be out really soon.
I hope you are all enjoying this book so far!
