The Lightning Wolf Chronicles (Evelyn and Nadia) novel Chapter 25

Chapter 25: But They All Revolve Around You!

I bit down hard, refusing to make a sound. This pain was too familiar It had basically become part of my daily routine.

“How dare you?” Acacia jumped down, voice turning shrill. “How dare you let them throw you a party?”

Another punch. Blood filled my mouth.

“They never threw me a birthday party!” Her voice cracked. “And you? You did nothing! But they all revolve around you!”

One guy grabbed my hair, yanking my head up. I was forced to look directly at Acacia’s twisted face.

“You’re nothing but a freak who killed her mother,” she spat out each word. “What gives you the right to get their attention? What the

hell gives you the right?!”

I gasped, each breath feeling like broken glass in my chest.

“Teach her a lesson! Don’t kill her!” Acacia shrieked. “Make sure she remembers her place!”

She turned and left. The next second, fists rained down like hail. Each hit made everything blurrier, but through the pain, I felt something

waking up.

My wolf was roaring.

Not her usual gentle whisper, but pure rage. She surged through my veins, howling in my bones, desperate to break free.

Enough! Her voice exploded in my mind like thunder. I’m gonna rip their throats out!

I felt the change starting – my fingers twitching, something stirring under my skin. Fear and rage twisted together into an unstoppable

force.

A roar tore from deep in my chest, carrying inhuman power. The whole storage room shook.

All three guys froze. The smugness in their eyes turned to fear instantly. They must’ve seen the change in my eyes.

I shoved them away with more force than anyone expected. One guy hit the wall hard, groaning in pain.

“Is that her… her wolf? How old is she?” another stammered.

I ignored their fear and rushed toward the window. Glass shattered under impact, sharp pieces cutting my arms, but I felt nothing.

Only the need to get out.

The sun had set completely, night swallowing everything. I ran through the darkness faster than any human should be able to. Wind

roared in my ears, my heartbeat like war drums.

Chapter 25: But They All Revolve Around You!

Control it, I told myself. Can’t shift here.

But my body wouldn’t listen. Each step brought intense pain not just from the beating, but because my wolf was fighting against restraint. Bones shifting, muscles stretching, fur starting to break through my skin.

Silver Pines. I needed Silver Pines.

The place that witnessed my first transformation, the forest that gave me new life. Maybe only there could I get control back.

When I stumbled into that familiar clearing, my legs gave out. I hit the ground hard, curling into a ball.

Tears finally broke free. Not from physical pain, but from being so damn tired of everything.
