~Valeria~ The moment Alerion’s name was announced as the winner, the crowd erupted into cheers. I could hear my brothers' names being called next, Caius and Zane tied for second, and Lysander trailing just behind in third. Not everyone was pleased with their victory but they didn’t care. The competition had been tense and they gained more enemies than we expected. I could feel eyes on me. One that spiked danger in my spine. Then, I saw them. A group of werewolves, unfamiliar but not completely unknown. They moved through the crowd with arrogant confidence, their laughter so irritating and intentional. But it wasn’t just their presence that made my stomach twist. It was them. The ones who had bullied me before. The ones who had made my life a living hell. And now, they were here.
