Wolves Of Secrets Book 2

The Kiken Affair

It had been three days since Skylor had arrived at Ninjago and she soon adjusted to life as a human. Misako and Wu had managed to create a history for her and as far as the school knew, her name was Skylor Chen and her parents were travelers who lived in a caravan somewhere just outside the city. They told the school that because her parents traveled around it would be difficult for teachers to get in contact with them. They had been told that the Chen family didn't believe in technology so the only way for the school to contact them was by mail.

But the teens quickly came up with an excuse.

Everyone thought that Lloyd's family was good friends with Skylor's family so if the school needed to send a letter to her parents they would have to send it to the Garmadon household to make sure it didn't get lost in the mail. Lloyd and the boys were all waiting in the hallway when the three girls suddenly came out of the restroom, Skylor having a big smile on her face. She had been made to return Lloyd's clothes and was given some of Nya and Pixel's clothes.

She was now sporting a pale orange, longsleeved jumpsuit with black boots.

Her crimson hair had been tied back into a ponytail and they had given her a spare rucksack with some school supplies they had managed to find.

"School's the best!" She squealed in delight.

"Really?" Asked Cole.

"Yeah, I am loving flushing toilets!" She beamed widely as if she had just discovered a pot of gold at the end of a rainbow.

"It doesn't get much more exciting than that." Kai and the other chuckled as they entered their homeroom to find Dareth surrounded by their classmates inspecting a photo on his phone. This wasn't anything out of the ordinary so the group of friends took their seats but still listened in.

"Amazing, isn't it?" Dareth smiled smugly.

"It's probably just a big dog or a massive badger," Maggie suggested as she examined the picture.

"Badger hunting doesn't run in my family."

"Oh, and werewolf hunting does?" Harumi laughed and the pack all froze and pushed through the crowd to see this picture. They were shocked to see a dog-like skull attached to half the top of a human skeleton that lay in a half dug hole.

"As a matter of fact, it does." Dareth glared. "My father was telling me this morning, my ancestor was a werewolf hunter!"

"What, like Van Helsing?" Chad asked and the other students all burst out laughing.

"Laugh all you want!" He hissed. "But my father knows the family history and he's called in a scientist from GPL Tech to prove it." He grinned and all the werewolves in the room paled as Koko suddenly walked in.

"What's going on?" She asked when she saw all the students gathered around Dareth instead of in their seats.

"Dareth thinks his dad found a werewolf skeleton on their property last night." Chad shrugged.

"It's true! That is a werewolf skull and my ancestor killed it!" He insisted, not noticing Skylor growling. Feeling her temper boiling, the red-haired girl quickly stormed from the classroom before did something stupid. The others all shared a look and Kai and Nya chased after her before Koko could stop them. The siblings followed her scent and tracked her down the deserted halls and found her angrily pacing around just outside the restrooms.

They could see the veins in her neck and the back of her hands darken but thankfully that was it.

"Calm down, Skylor," Kai said as they cautiously approached her. "We don't even know it's a werewolf!"
