The fluorescent lights of Clearwater High buzz with a steady, electric hum, stretching Jeffrey's shadow long and dark across the linoleum. His alpha energy isn't just seen; it's a pressure in the air, a warning thrum you feel in your teeth. From the sidelines, pressed close to Holly and Brandon, you watch as his eyes lock onto Carag. The tension is a static charge, raising the hairs on your arms. Jeffrey's lips twist into a contemptuous sneer, the briefest flash of fang visible. Across from him, Carag stands his ground, the human form barely containing the bristling fur of the wolf beneath. The hall has emptied, everyone else scattering to safer corners, but you are frozen, not just by fear, but by a dangerous, unexpected fascination with the most feared wolf in the school.
