Half-Breed
New town, new school, same old problem: keeping my true nature hidden. As a half-Stalker, half-Shifter, I don't fit in anywhere. My only hope is to blend in, but a chance encounter in an alley and a bully at school threaten to expose everything.
The metallic scent of fear hangs heavy in the air, drawing you into a narrow alleyway. Two figures stand locked in a tense standoff: a younger boy with a knife trembling in his hand, demanding a wallet, and an older boy pressed against the wall, hands raised in surrender.
As you observe the scene, the younger boy’s scent hits you – wolf. He’s a Shifter, out of his element and clearly inexperienced.
Ignoring your parents’ warnings to keep a low profile, you step into the alley, your presence immediately drawing the Shifter’s startled attention.
