Moon In Her Eyes

Chapter 4: Blood in the Moonlight

The silver-haired girl stalked into the classroom like a queen ready for war.

Her heels clicked like threats. Her smile was made of knives.

"Who is she?” she asked, not bothering to hide her voice.

"New girl thinks she can sit beside an Alpha?”

My breath caught.

Alpha?

All eyes turned to me.

Whispers slithered across the room like snakes.

Kayden still didn’t look at her.

He just leaned back in his seat, arms folded, face unreadable.

"Back off, Sienna,” he said coolly.

Her smile dropped — just for a second.

Then came back sharper.

"Ohhh,” she purred, “So she’s the one. The prophecy girl?”

My blood went cold.

What prophecy?

Sienna’s eyes locked on mine.

"Better run, little moon,” she whispered. “Before the next full moon ends you.”

Later That Night...

I stood by the lake behind the school — the place no one dared to go.

The water was still. Too still.

I touched my wrist.

The crescent moon mark was burning.

Something was happening.

Then — a voice behind me.

"You shouldn't be here.”

I spun. It was Kayden again.

"You keep showing up,” I said. “Why?”

He didn’t answer at first. Just walked closer.

"You’re not ready,” he said. “But your wolf is waking up.”

I opened my mouth to argue—

Then the world tilted.

Pain exploded through my bones.

I dropped to my knees as the first shift began.

Her First Transformation Begins...

My fingers bent backward.

My vision blurred — then sharpened into something other.

Kayden was kneeling beside me now, voice calm and strong.

"Breathe. Don’t fight it. Let her out.”

I screamed — but it wasn’t fear.

It was power.

The moon broke through the clouds.

Silver light bathed my skin... and then it wasn’t skin anymore.

Fur. Claws. Eyes glowing gold.

I had shifted.

And I had never felt more alive.
