Alpine Crescent Academy

After losing her parents, a date with her boyfriend goes terribly wrong when she finds her boyfriend cheating on her with a werewolf. He forces a bite on her, and 18-year old Layla Gibbous is forcefully removed from everything she once held dear and is tossed into a new life at a school for the wolves of the night, Alpine Crescent Academy. As she learns more about her new abilities, she feels like she is being watched from the shadows. When she keeps running into a mysterious and devilishly handsome man comes on campus, Layla can't help but get close to him. If he is the one in the shadows - is he here to protect her or hurt her? At the academy, she is taught more about the history and the two warring factions of wolves: Nestati and Vosak. Can she stay out of the fight? Or is something more at work here, like fate?

My condition

- Teo POV -

....

"I'm sure she's going to be here any moment," I repeat, as though the more I say it the quicker it will summon Layla back to her room. I fidget from where I am sitting on Layla's bed and glimpse through my lashes at the Headmistress that is moving slowly throughout the room and looking at things that catch her interest. 

I doubt Layla would be happy to hear she is poking through her things, but I can feel the tension in the air between us as sharp as a knife. A step in the wrong direction could set her off in a way we can't take back. 

I'm not happy about being put in this situation, but I do want to help Layla. She is doing the harder part of this scheme anyhow, so I need to stay calm and keep my heartbeat level so the Headmistress doesn't suspect anything. Its simple, really. But I can't help but be worried at the repercussions.
