. Summary .

It had been three years since fifteen-year-old Natsume left the Academy to join the Anti-alice organization while Mikan had undertaken a post with the Academy's secret corps. When the two finally meet, it will be a clash of wills that would end everything…

She waits alone in the snow,
For he who never comes.
Disillusioned, she waits no more,
For him, who never came.

Prologue: Snow Wolf (雪のオオカミ)

Steady amber eyes looked back at her in the mirror.

Gone was the painful guile that used to linger in the candid amber eyes, making her appear younger than she was; gone also was the naïve sparkle in her eyes, even though she kept up her cheerful spirit as a facade.

There was a never before seen pain in her eyes, concealed to everyone but the closest of her friends, one that was put there by…him.

Hyuuga Natsume.

It had been three years since he walked out of her life and into the enemy's arms, yet Mikan could never forget him, even till now.

It had made her realise there was more to life than school, that reality was never the sugar-coated world of fairytales.

It made her grew up.

Mikan lifted her arms and tied up her free-flowing auburn tresses into a single ponytail before bundling it up in a bun, kept in place by a few discreetly placed pins.

She reached out for the bracelet laying on a nearby dresser, humming a soft song under her breath as she fixed it onto her wrist, the multicolored Alice stones attached jingling and clinking against each other as she did so.

The Alice stones, stones containing the Alices of others, were her only form of offensive moves seeing that her Nullifying Alice could do no more than be defensive.

Lastly, she reached for the mask that had become her identity for three years.

As she slipped on the mask etched with the features of a wolf over her face, she ceased to be Sakura Mikan.

She became the Snow Wolf.
