Luna Aurora novel (Alpha Fenrir) novel Chapter 217

Jason stood in the school hallway, his usual sneer replaced by a grimace as he tugged at the bandages covering one side of his face. His friends huddled around him, whispering and casting wary glances at Elyra and Dain.

Elyra caught fragments of their hushed conversation as she walked by.

“Claw marks… like a wild animal…”

“Could’ve been him—Dain’s always looking for a fight.”

“No way, man. That was something else.”

Dain stiffened beside Elyra, his fiery orange eyes narrowing. “They’re talking about me again,” he muttered.

Elyra tugged on his sleeve. “Ignore it.”

But Jason had other ideas. Spotting them in the hallway, he shoved through the crowd, his bandaged face twisting in a mockery of his usual bravado.

“Look who it is—the freaks,” he said, his voice dripping with venom. “Thought I’d find you skulking around. What, didn’t think I’d recognize your handiwork?”

Dain’s muscles tensed, and Elyra could feel the barely restrained power coiled within him. She stepped between them, raising her hands.

“What are you talking about, Jason?” she asked, her tone calm but wary.
