Chapter: 04Elara’s povHow could I sleep when everyone was going to watch me fail?Last minute training left my limbs aching and by the time people started arriving at the sparring field, I was wired enough to either shine or shatter.Lupinemore issued combat clothes clung to my skin, tight and unforgiving. My hands were behind me and my back was straight as the principal walked into the field. He didn’t smile or have an expression. He motioned for Nyx to stay at the other side and he obeyed. A bitter lump lodged in my throat as I started to mentally prepare. Even if they got wind of what and who I truly was, I wasn’t going to give up.The principal stood in front of us, his hand raised to signal my doom when suddenly, the Ardent brothers came out of nowhere.“Sir! Permission to speak?” Kael asked and the whole school turned their full focus on him. The principal gave a low growl as he gave a slight nod and slowly, Kael’s face shifted, a knowing smirk playing at the corners of his lips.“Nyx

Chapter: 03Elara’s povThree boys with calculating stares. If I could take my pick, I wouldn’t dare. Not when my entire identity hung by a thread, no matter how intriguingly gorgeous they looked. I didn’t need trouble in three’s. I needed weapons, cold steel or strategy.I walked straight to the lone bed in a corner without sparing the boys a glance while silently thanking the school for creating a privacy wall between us.“Is that him?” I heard one of the boys ask as I started to offload my things slowly. “For someone assigned to us, he’s quite the size” another scoffed and I was instantly annoyed. “Quite the size?” What had they been expecting? “His size isn’t the issue,” I heard a calm voice say. I could already tell that these boys were going to be a problem. “If it isn’t the issue then what is?” Another asked but I didn’t hear anything.A chill trickled down my spine suddenly. Was someone…watching me?I turned. Nothing. Just shadows and silence.The room was eerily quiet so the boys m

Chapter: 02Elara’s povWhen Ana said I shouldn’t be here today,I thought she meant by the crack of dawn.For the first time, maids entered my room to help me get ready for a wedding I never said yes to.I saw the looks on their face, their horror stricken eyes as they saw that my head held little to no hair but nobody dared to say a word.I let them dress me up in a gown that was so tight, my breasts begged for mercy. I hoped at some point that Ana would burst in and drag me away but Ana didn’t come. I waited for her up until it was time for me to walk down the aisle. Disappointment crawled down my throat in agony.Was it wrong to actually have hope?I let go of the ache in my chest and quietly gave a nod of approval. The doors to my doom were opened and I walked slowly as though I had practiced.Timothy was at the front row, a snicker and a smirk playing on his stupid face, no surprise there.All eyes were on me but my gaze was centered on my father. I saw his eyes grow dark when he realized

Chapter: 01Elara’s povIf my father thought he could betray me after everything I had done for him. For this pack? Then he had another thing coming.The war room burst open and all eyes snapped to me. Whispers engulfed the room but I wasn’t here for fragile egos. I was here for him. Standing tall, broad, dark haired with eyes like frozen thunder. Cheekbones and a jaw carved by the Goddess herself. I was his splitting image, Alpha Zenford. My father.“What are you doing here!?” He questioned, a command in his tone but I held his interest long enough to keep the whispers from the elders who surrounded him afloat.“Is this normal?”“Is a woman supposed to see a kingdom’s war room?”The elders all conversed but I was only here for one thing and one thing alone.Slowly I walked to the center of the room, holding everyone’s gaze as I spoke with a loud and clear voice.“I am the firstborn of Alpha Zenford, rightful heir to the Bloodrage pack.”My father growled dangerously “Elara, don’t you dare” hi
