CHAPTER 1

ELARAMy feet slammed hard against the soaked forest ground as I ran as fast as my legs could carry me. The rain had only just stopped, leaving the earth muddy and covered with shallow puddles, but I did not slow down or try to avoid them. Water splashed around my ankles each time my foot struck the ground, yet I kept moving forward without caring about the mess.My breathing had already become uneven and rough, each breath scraping painfully through my throat as I struggled to pull enough air into my lungs. Behind me, somewhere deep in the forest, a low growl echoed through the trees.The sound made my heart pound harder.It did not sound like wolves. It did not sound like any animal I had ever heard before.The growl was deeper… rougher… almost wild in a way that made the hair on the back of my neck rise. That sound alone pushed me to run faster.I forced my legs to move quicker, pouring every last bit of strength into each step. My muscles burned, and my chest felt tight, but fear

CHAPTER 2

ELARA"…from the pitch blackness, bright golden eyes emerged, groaning slowly at me, his groans forming words that sounds so much like…Mine…~~~A sound woke me up before the dream could finish.I shot upright, chest heaving with rapid, shallow breaths, my comforter twisted uselessly around my legs. I dragged a trembling hand down my face, trying to calm my heart which was slamming against my ribs like it was trying to break free, but no amount of slow breathing seemed to convince it that I was safe.My room was pitch black, probably due to electricity being cut off again due to the storm, but for a disorienting moment, I couldn’t be certain I had woken up at all, it felt like I was still in my dreams, especially when I heard it again…The same sound that woke me up from sleep.A low growl…It sounded so faint, and distant, so faint that I am actually surprised it woke me from sleep.The sound stopped just as quickly as it had happened.Trying to figure out where it was coming from,

CHAPTER 3

ELARAI recognized those golden eyes instantly…They looked a whole lot like the one in my dream…And that fact frightened me…How could I have possibly been dreaming of a creature that I didn’t even know existed?With shaky hands, I reached for the switch, omitted the red light switch, and turned on the warm one to be able to get a closer look at the creature.The first thing I noticed when the lights came on was the chains binding him to the wall… thick, massive chains. I would need both hands and all the strength I can muster to be able to carry a small fragment of that chain.It could be used to anchor a ship. Slowly, my eyes followed the chain to the creature…It was tall…impossibly tall.Its claws were long and sharp enough to tear through human flesh without much effort, its body covered with hair, though it did nothing to hide the marks, covering its body. Several lines ran across its body where incisions seemed to have been made and sealed again imperfectly.IV lines fed in

CHAPTER 4

ELARA I felt hands on me, as if I were being carried by some group of people. Groaning from the stabbing throbbing in my head, and the soreness all over my body, I tried to open my eyes, but it felt heavy at first. Slowly, I was moved, followed by the feeling of the cold marble on my thighs. Trying for the second time, I pried one eye open, followed by the other, and the first face I saw was Janet's, staring at me with furrowed brows. "Are you okay?" Palming my forehead, I leaned off the metal walls and slowly looked around, recognizing the metal hallway. "What happened?" "You fainted," Janet replied. "I didn't realize that creature would scare you to the point of fainting." My brows furrowed. "I fainted out of fear?" That makes no sense. I wasn't scared of the creature, at least not up to the point of fainting. "What is the last thing you remember?" Janet asked me as she helped me to my feet. Breathing out slowly, I lifted my hands to check if I sustained any in

CHAPTER 5

ELARA~~~~~~He stared at me.A face I didn’t recognize, and yet those eyes. Those golden eyes. I knew them. I will always recognize them in a room full of thousands.It was as if the creature from my dreams had simply borrowed a human face. Or maybe my mind had given him one on purpose, to make it easier to want him. To ease the guilt of how much I enjoyed what he did to me in those dreams.Either way, I wasn’t complaining.His hand moved to the front clasp of my bra. He brushed the fabric aside slowly, his palm curving around my breast like he already knew its shape. My eyes fell shut and breathing became a foreign thing, something I had to remind my lungs to do. My head tipped back on its own.When his fingers grazed my nipple, a sound escaped me before I could stop it.He latched onto my nipple, sucking hard, pulling a gasp and moan from him me. At the same time, he traced the shape of my ribs, my flat stomach, and my hips with his palm, which burned my body.God! How I love what

CHAPTER 6

ELARAWalking into the lab with my mind scattered and unfocused turned out to be a terrible decision, one I began to regret almost immediately. My thoughts were everywhere except where they were supposed to be, drifting back to things I had no business thinking about, especially not in a place filled with fragile glassware and volatile chemicals.It showed.Within a short span of time, I had already broken two chemical containers without meaning to. That was when it finally sank in, if I didn’t get myself together, if I didn’t hickey on my neck covered with makeup and concentrate, I might end up causing something far worse than a few broken bottles. I could ruin the entire experiment… or worse, set the lab on fire.The CCTV in the resident hallway showed that Janet had only left for a few seconds before I woke up, so there is no way Jade could have done that, not that I suspect him.“Do you have the D4 result rea_”Jade’s voice trailed off the moment his eyes landed on the wastebin. I

CHAPTER 7

ELARAUnusual vocalization.Those were the exact words I typed into the report file assigned for creature.Maybe I should call it a large wolf. It sounds more respectful.I paused for a moment after writing it, my fingers hovering over the keyboard, tempted, just for a second to add more. To write the truth.But I didn’t.I left out the most important part.I didn’t write the word he had said.Even now, hours later, I kept replaying that moment in my head, turning it over again and again, searching for some flaw in my memory, some distortion, some mistake I could cling to. I told myself I must have misheard it. That my mind, already strained and restless, had filled in something that wasn’t there.Every minute, every passing second, I repeated the same excuse.You didn’t hear it right.It wasn’t real.It couldn’t be.And if I said it enough times… maybe it would start to feel true.Because what was the alternative?That a wolf-like creature, something I haven’t even fully understood,

CHAPTER 8

ELARAAt this point, I wasn’t even sure if I should be trusting Janet so much anymore.She had told me, more than once, that she pulled strings, called in favors, bent rules to get me this job. At the time, it had sounded like a generous act, something I should be grateful for. And I was… or at least I had been. But now, that explanation feels ridiculous, because the file I had seen, the one with my name clearly circled in bold ink, told a completely different story.I wasn’t here by chance. I wasn’t here because of luck or kindness.I was selected.Chosen as part of some ridiculous, unsettling list labeled compatible personnel for Project Fenrir. Even thinking about it made my stomach tighten. Compatible for what exactly? And why me?“Elara!”The sound of my name snapped me out of my thoughts so abruptly that I almost flinched. I quickly smoothed out the frown that had formed on my face and forced the tension out of my expression. By the time I turned around, I had already arranged m

CHAPTER 9

ELARAI did not run like Kate told me to.Any sensible person would have listened. Any sane person would have walked away from this place the moment things began to feel wrong, but I did neither.Instead of writing a resignation letter like every rational human being who had started to question this lab and everything inside it, I sat down and wrote something entirely different.A request.Not to leave, but to stay longer.More specifically, I asked for extended access with Biggie.Even now, thinking about it, I can’t fully explain why I made that decision. It wasn’t logic. It wasn’t safety. If anything, it felt like the exact opposite of both. Still, I sent the request to Janet, half-expecting resistance, questions, or at the very least, hesitation.But none of that came.Janet, who had made it very clear that she was concerned about how much time I spent with Biggie, about the effect he seemed to have on me, approved the request without a single complaint or follow-up questions.Tha

CHAPTER 10

ELARAAnother feeding time for Biggie, but then I am told a news I did not expect.“This will be your last visit to the containment,” the security said, his face completely blank, giving nothing away.For a moment, I thought I had misheard him. I blinked, confused, trying to process his words. “Jan…” I started, then stopped, clearing my throat. “Ms. Scott didn’t mention anything like that to me.”“Then perhaps you should contact her,” he replied in a flat, emotionless tone. “Because after today, you won’t be granted access to the creature anymore.”My jaw tightened as I fought to keep my emotions under control. I took a slow, deep breath, turning my gaze toward the glass partition, using it as a distraction to calm myself.“Fine,” I muttered quietly, looking back at him. “At least let me go inside the room this time. I don’t want to feed him through the slot today.”The guard lifted his hand to the microphone attached to his ear and spoke into it, likely asking for permission, probabl
