Elena and her friends were bantering away after surviving their first class. 

Marco and Giulia strutted alongside her, while Rex hovered behind, his hands behind his head like he already owned the place. Being the Alpha's daughter, Elena exuded this vibe that made people want to protect her and be in awe of her, mixed with a hint of intimidation and respect.

"El, do you want to check out the new show at the theatre today?" Giulia grinned, flashing her pearly whites. "It's a revisit of Jekyll and Hyde, where Hyde manages to separate himself from the doctor."

"Sure thing!" Elena replied with a small smile, secretly craving the freedom of roaming and hunting in the wilderness over being confined within concrete walls. 

But Elena didn't want to dampen her friend's spirits with a straight no to that doll face.

And, sometimes a good friend was supposed to make a few sacrifices and made the friend receiving the goodness of their friendship happy. 

"Oh, come on, El!" Rex chimed in, dark eyebrows furrowing in impatience above eyes so silver and alive that someone might have just poured liquid mercury in them.

"We have our special night tonight, or have you forgotten?"

Monday nights were their private bubble of friendship. No one else was allowed and the two were sure to continue that tradition until the end of time. Chatting, consuming large quantities of sugar, and watching a new movie was all they did.

"Sorry, Giuly! Duty calls," Elena joked, throwing up her hands in surrender.

Giulia rolled her eyes, knowing she was fighting a losing battle with those two. "Meh, I forgot," she yawned, politely covering her mouth, while adding a muffled today feels like a Wednesday

"I will go with you..." Marco said in a drawl, while scanning every single student. 

"You have a date," her sister reminded him. 

"Yeah, yeah," he barely heard her. Where the hell where the Black Devils? "Probably in hell," joked his wolf.

"Considering Alpha has an agreement with the Black Devil's leaders, I don't anticipate we will have too many issues here" Rex responded, yawing loudly.

He had never been a morning person.

"It will be the same old thing, but worse." He groaned, dropping his hefty arm around Giulia, who shoved him away with a scowl.

"And what's that, Rexi?" Marco glanced at him and chuckled at the dramatics.

"Getting up earlier than usual...damn, this place is basically in another country, sitting for hours, and pretending to care about people who couldn't cut it, or just want to befriend El or you," Rex deadpanned, scratching his chest, "Or want to bang me. Or Giulia. Not necessarily in that order."

Giulia poked his ribs.

"Relax! We all know you are a nun." 

"And we all know you are a gigolo!" 

Rex sighed. "How many times do I need to tell you? I didn't get paid for it!"

Marco waved his hand to silence them. "Kids, please! It's too early for this noise," he said, louder them, then told Rex, "my oblivious friend, haven't you heard about the new magical bonus?" 

"And what's that? Enlighten me, your grace!"

"Simple," his pink gum blew out and popped, "a new land to T&D." Tame & dominate. 

It was at that precise moment that Elena's wolf began to feel restless, pacing around her mind with an unsettling energy. Her sandy brown fur bristled, and found herself breathing in short pants.
