When The Moon - Chapter 118

SERAPHINA " No … " I touched my long hair in a panic , shooting up from the ground in horror . I had to leave this room but if someone from the Academy saw me like this , my secret and disguise would be exposed . Still , I had no time to mourn that fact . Clenching the red dress tightly in my hand , I hissed , " I can't let that happen . " I could feel my strength returning , Phina healing me faster than ever before . I began to slip into the red dress .

It was long , but slit high along both legs , with a daringly low cut in the front , and an open back that was almost entirely bare . It barely covered what it needed to but I had no other choice . I swiftly wrapped it around my body , tying it snugly at the waist . My fingers worked fast , shoving my hair into a messy knot , ignoring the rebellious strands that refused to stay tucked away . Then I stormed into the corridor and stopped , stunned by the chaos .

Down the hallway , a storm of violence erupted . Alpha Jude's wolf tore through the rogues like a phantorn possessed , blood streaking his fur like war paint . Better still he wasn't alone . Beside him moved a beautiful white wolf , Grace . She matched him blow for blow , flame to flame . Behind them was a legion of wolves , more than thirty , all charging forward . Phina stirred inside me , recognizing them instantly . " They're Cassius , Reed , and the other Alphas from Lupine Academy .

I marched down it , banging hard on every door . " Come out ! We're getting out of here ! " One by one , the she - wolves emerged . Some trembling . Some bruised . All with haunted , hollow eyes , startled to see me standing there . " What's going on ? " one of them asked , her voice laced with fear .

" Gather all the she - wolves you can find ," I barked , " Everyone . Now ! You're all leaving this place ! " Silence fell . Followed by a ripple of disbelief . But after a moment , desperation sparked into motion . A few she - wolves shakily ran off , but with determination , to wake the others . Within minutes , they gathered in the corridor frightened , wide - eyed , some barely clothed . " We need to leave , " I said , my voice hard as steel . " Quickly , before anyone comes .
