Karla whispered, leaning over the table. "I don't care about guys!" I whined. "I'm more worried about my asshole instructor. Like what's his deal? If my parents find out I've been failing all these tests, I'll never get a license, let alone a decent car." Karla's eyes remained fixed on that table. "Um, I think one of them is motioning for us." Without bothering to look, I flipped my middle finger in the general direction of the table behind me. Karla gasped, quickly reaching over to pull my hand down as a burst of laughter erupted from behind. "Don't do that!" she hissed. "It's rude." I rolled my eyes and finally turned around to see what their deal was. My eyes widened, and I instantly whipped back around, my hand flying to cover my face. "Oh crap. I did not just curse him." "What...?" Karla raised a brow, confused by the sudden change in my demeanor. I gave her a mortified stare. "That's my instructor!" *** [a story inspired by a reel] Ranked 3 on #hefellfirst Ranked 2 on #grumpyxsunshine

Four years ago, Clara made the hardest choice of her life. After one reckless, passionate night with Killian-the ruthless and terrifying Supreme Alpha of the Shadow Pack-she ran away. She didn't run because she hated him. She ran because she was pregnant, and a fragile human carrying an Alpha's heir would never survive the deadly politics of his pack. Now, Clara lives a quiet, invisible life in a remote human town, doing everything she can to protect her four-year-old son, Leo. But Leo isn't a normal human boy.

But the moment the lethal Alpha locks eyes with the little boy who shares his piercing grey eyes, his inner wolf goes completely feral with sudden, obsessive protective instincts. Killian doesn't know the boy is his. He doesn't know the terrified mother is the girl who vanished from his bed four years ago. But he knows one thing: he is never letting them go. And when Killian finally discovers the truth, the entire world will burn for keeping his family from him.
