ey shift and cause a ruckus on human
Loren hummed. “Interesting,” she said. “Usually, we find the forgotten wolves when they
land. Strange that they knew you were a wolf before you shifted”
“I don’t know if it is or isn’t,” I said with a shrug. “I know literally nothing.”
Loren sat back on my bed and crossed her legs like I used to in preschool. She clapped her hands together. “Okay. Werewolf 101 in fifteen minutes,” she said. “Basics are this: alphas have gold eyes. Betas, those second in line for the position of alpha, have purple eyes. Just like me!”
I nodded I was following. Loren continued.
“Both are at this school because if an Alpha falls, the Beta becomes the alpha. Though people unfortunately treat us as less than the Alphas. So, like if my sister dies in combat or is hurt or something, then I become the alpha,” She paused to rub at her neck. “Though I’m hoping sissy doesn’t fall because I’m not exactly cut out for this job.”
I gave her a soft smile “I think you’d be a great Alpha,” I said.
“That’s nice,” Loren returned the smile “But wait until you
see me
me spar. I’m downright
awful.”
Somehow, I doubted that, but I keep my mouth shut. She couldn’t possibly be worse than I was Loren waved her hand.
“But yeah, wolves. Everyone can shift pretty easily by the time they get here so expect to see massive wolves running around,” Loren continued She paused and yawned. “I’d tell you about the Alpha Princess but I don’t think she’s coming to school this year, so you don’t have to worry.”
A shiver rippled through my body that Loren missed through another yawn. I was the Alpha Princess. Loren stretched on her own bed then fell back into the sheets.

“So what’s this hunt?” I said.
“Oh Loren bounced back up then immediately cringed. “Sorry,” she said. “It’s usually exciting, but now that you’re the target, I’m not sure it is anymore.”
You could say
that
“But yeah, so,” she drew out the last word. “Basically, you’re hunted by everyone on campus until you submit. Everyone uses it as a time to prove their strength as a wolf.”
I gnawed on my lip. I knew the answer to my next question but I had to ask it anyways, “What happens if I don’t submit?” I
said
Loren’s head snapped towards me, deep frown on her face. She shook her head. “That’s never happened,” she said softly. “But I’d assume they’d hunt you until you died.”
I swallowed thickly. Great.
