It was raining when he woke up.Clouds heavy and gray hung low over the academy grounds.Zayn stood shirtless at the edge of the cliff behind the dorms letting the cold drops run down his back.
The forest below called to him.But he didn't answer.
Not yet.
He was waiting.
Waiting for the next sign.
[Wild Instinct Passive Enhanced]
His senses stretched far beyond the cliff.Even through the rain he could smell it.
Fear.
Not his.
