Lena sat on the edge of her bed, her bare feet resting on the cold floor. The room was quiet, but inside her head, there was nothing but the noise of broken flashes of what happened last night.Every time she tried to piece them together, they slipped away like water running through her hands.Her heart skipped each minute. What happened to me?Still could not wrap her head around it. When she no longer knew what to do, she grabbed her phone and quickly scrolled to Selena’s contact. If anyone could tell her how the whole thing played out the previous day, it would be her.The phone rang twice before Selena picked up.“Aurora?” Selena’s voice was soft, calm, like she’d been expecting her call.Lena gripped the phone tighter. “Selena… What happened and when did you leave last night? I don’t remember much, but something is wrong. I can feel it.”Selena didn't respond immediately. Then she sighed. “You were sleeping. I didn’t want to wake you. Besides, I was tired, so I could no longer

Lena still couldn’t believe she had given in. She could still feel their touch on her skin, hear their voices echoing in her head, and remember the heat of their hands and the soft kisses they had shared.She hated herself a little for giving in so easily, for letting them take that part of her without a fight. But at the same time, she kept reminding herself—well, this was just part of the revenge. No string attached. That thought was the only thing keeping her steady.If they thought they could use her, then she would make sure to use them first.She buttoned up the new uniform given to her slowly, the fabric brushing softly against her skin. It clung to her shape, leaving her feeling both nervous and bare.“You wouldn’t have bothered to get a new uniform. I could still manage the old one,” she said softly.When she looked up and saw their eyes fixed on her, her heart skipped, beating faster under their stare.The ride home was quiet. Not the kind of silence that made you uncomforta

Inside their private gym, Kieran gently drops Lena on a training mat while Soren knelt in front of her, staring at her with concern in his eyes. Ronan stood at the corner of the room, arms folded over his strong chest, and his expression unbothered, but deep down inside him, his wolf was growling angrily—wanting to rip those who had bullied their mate apart.Kieran moved towards a locker with the plate name screaming his name—Kieran Blackthorne. He yanked it up, retrieved a small white towel and red jersey and kicked it closed. He walked back towards her and without another started wiping the water off her wet hair with the towel.Lena stared at them, her heart pounding louder than a war drum. Not in fear, but at how good it feels to have people who are genuinely concerned about her. People who would protect her and even if they are her enemies…. even if she would end up destroying them, she would bask in the feeling for now because this doesn't mean anything—it's all a scheme. A mean

The classroom was filled with soft whispers, the air carrying the smell of books, paper, and too many people in one space. Professor Halden, a tall man with grey hair and glasses that were always sliding down his nose, walked to the front with the calm confidence of someone who had taught for many years. When he began to speak, his deep voice would always draw attention, as if he were telling a story you couldn’t stop listening to.“Good morning class.” His voice boomed through the room, commanding everyone's attention.“Good morning professor,” they all responded. Today,” he began, writing The Evolution of Werewolf Packs on the board in neat, precise strokes, “we will discuss the role of the Alpha in ancient pack hierarchies.”He adjusted his glasses and turned to face the class. “Werewolves, contrary to popular myth, are not just driven by instinct. Pack structure is complex, rooted in loyalty, territory, and the mating bond….”Ronan wasn’t listening. Neither were his brothers. It

The drive was too quiet for Lena’s liking. Her hands rested in her lap, fingers twisting together, and her eyes were glued to the window even though nothing out there could really hold her focus. Soren, sitting beside her, kept glancing over every few seconds, picking up on something in her body language she couldn’t hide.“You okay?” he finally asked, voice gentle.Lena forced a smile. “I’m fine.”Soren wasn’t convinced, but before he could say more, Kieran reached across from the driver’s seat and placed a warm, steady hand against her forehead. The touch was so sudden she jerked back a bit, trying to swat him away.“Stay still,” he ordered, voice low. Lena froze under his palm, heat prickling her cheeks.Kieran’s brows drew together in focus as if measuring her temperature with that Alpha sense of his. “Normal,” he finally said, pulling away and glancing at his brothers.Ronan snorted from the back seat, arms folded. “If she’s sick, let her be sick. It’s none of my business.”Lena

Lena stood still, wondering how Kael got to know her deepest secret. What if he is aware of all her plans of revenge? Just when she was about to take her leave, Kael appeared again. He bowed slightly, “I just feel that you should know a bit about me and my little experience with the Aphas. This isn't the time to run.” Lena took a single step closer, her bare feet barely making a sound on the cold marble floor. Her heart beat so loudly she could hear it in her ears, but she didn’t flinch, this is not the time to panic. She kept her gaze locked on Kael.There was no use pretending anymore. She’d been caught.“How did you find out about me?” Her voice was quiet, her breathing became rapid.Kael leaned against the wooden pillar beside him, arms folded across his chest, his eyes were sharp, like he’d been waiting for this moment.“I know everything,” he said simply, like it was nothing.Lena tried to speak but no words came out. A strange chill danced down her spine. She has known Kael
