Nobela ni Hika

Chapter 24 . . . Lina I decided to spend the rest of my day at the roof top. I heard quite a lot of things about it. So I decided to experience it first hand today. I stood at the door and took it few deep breaths before pushing. The rooftop was nothing like I expected. The sky felt huge, painted in baby blue, and the wind carried that fresh, free kind of smell. I saw old benches near the railings, probably dragged up here by bored students. Someone had scribbled doodles and cheesy love notes on the walls. I turned to me left and i saw a tall figure wavering from afar. I walked closer, squinting my eyes,and that's when I realized it was Darien. He gaze flickered to my direction before finally turning back. "Woah, this place really lives up to it's name." I said, with my eyes scanning around the place, amazed. He finally turned towards me. "Some people are trying to focus here." "Last time i checked, this rooftop wasn't the property of Darien. The library is ava

Chapter 25...LinaThe ray of the sun woke me up today. It stabbed through the curtains like it had a personal grudge against me. My head pounded, my eyes felt raw, and all I wanted was to pretend the whole of yesterday never happened.But pretending wasn’t going to work. Especially when the image of my reflection smirking back at me still played repeat in my head. I dragged myself out of bed and into the kitchen. The Alphas were scattered around like already. Blake was on his phone, Azrael was brooding into his coffee, Darien flipped through a notebook even on the table, and Kaiza…of course…was perched on the counter like a cat, shoving toast into his mouth.I stood awkwardly in the doorway. No one looked up except Kaiza, who grinned with his mouth full.“Morning, little one.”“Don’t call me that,” I muttered, shuffling in.He swallowed dramatically. “Fine, missy. Better?”“Not really.”I grabbed a mug and poured myself coffee, ignoring the way Azrael’s eyes flicked up for a sec

Chapter 22...LinaI should’ve known something was off the second Mrs Alice called me into her office after last period. Her smile was too tight, like she was holding something back, and I instantly hated it.“Sit down, Lina,” she said softly, folding her hands on the desk.“I didn’t do anything,” I blurted before she could even start. That earned me a pinched smile.“This isn’t about you being in trouble. It’s… a housing adjustment. For your safety.”I frowned. “Housing adjustment?”Her gaze flickered to the side. “Starting tonight, you’ll be moving into the Alpha dorm. Temporarily.”I stared. Blinked. Laughed nervously. “That’s...funny. You almost got me.”But she wasn’t laughing.“You’re serious?” I said, my voice rising. “That’s a joke, right? I mean...me? In their dorm?”She pressed her lips together, clearly trying to make it sound reasonable. “The Head Council thinks it’s best you stay close to them. Just until things settle. You’ve noticed the tension lately, haven’t you?”

Chapter 21 . . . Lina I could feel the air itself pressing me down the moment i got to the hall. I felt something had happened even before I saw the looks. Students whispered in tight circles, eyes flicking in my direction then darting away like I was some walking disease. I hugged my books close, pretending not to notice, but every step made my skin itch. It had been like this ever since the party. Ever since… whatever it was had tied me to them. I still didn’t even understand it. But somehow, everything was my fault now. “Lina,” a voice called. I froze, and when I turned Brienna was leaning against the locker just ahead, arms crossed, a calm smile on her face. She looked at me like she’d been waiting. “You look tired,” she said smoothly, eyes scanning me from head to toe. “Rough morning?” “I’m fine,” I answered, my voice too quick. “You sure? Because something’s different.” She tilted her head, studying me with a gaze that made my chest tighten. “People just want some

Chapter 20...AzraelThe first thing I felt was a deep ache in my body and then the cold air that had hit my face. I looked around me, and all I saw was broken glass. My corner was destroyed, the window was shattered and my desk was split in two with deep cracks running through the wall. My knuckles were bruised but I didn't remember doing it.I sat up and the blankets fell away. My head was pounding and the nightmare was still there clinging to me darker than ever it was. She was there too. Lina standing in the middle of it all with those big grey eyes just watching me like a ghost from a past I tried to bury. It made me so angry I wanted to break something else.The door creaked open and Blake was standing there, his face like stone. He didn't look surprised, he just looked at the wreckage and then at my bloody hands.“You almost took my head off,” he said, his voice completely flat like he was stating a simple fact. “I came to your corner when I heard the noise. You threw a piec

Chapter 19...LinaJanna walked in with an upturned face a few minutes later, and she collapsed on her chair the moment she took off her shoes.“What happened earlier?” She said, taking out a face wipe from the pack.“I'm equally curious as you.” I said.“Well damn, that's new.” She said, wiping her face.“I don't know why, but I have a feeling it has something to do with Brienna.” I let my gaze drift away, but when I glanced back at Janna, she was just staring. The wipe she was holding earlier had dropped to the floor. “Are you okay?” I asked, with my brows knitting.“Yeah I'm fine. I just need to rest.” She said,I nodded and got on my bed to sleep.*******Soon after it was morning and I woke up with an eye bag indicating I hadn't slept well the previous night. I turned to my side and Janna was still asleep which was weird because she was always awake before me. Either she was already prepared or she was about to dress up. I ran my left hand across my hair and sluggishly walk

Chapter 5 ...Estelle The firelight flickered against the walls of Zen’s war tent, shadows twisting like restless spirits. My body still ached from the assassin’s blades, but it was the strange marks on my skin that refused to leave my mind. Faint, glowing lines, curling like silver fire, had flared to life when I bled.I rubbed at my forearm, but the marks were gone now, as if they’d never existed.“What are you hiding from me, Estelle?” Zen’s voice was low, but it carried a dangerous weight. He leaned against the table with his arm crossed, and his grey eyes once again watching me like a wolf stalking prey.“I don’t know what you mean,” I whispered, though the lie caught in my throat.His lips curved in something between a smirk and a snarl. “Don’t play me for a fool. I saw it. My warriors saw it. That light wasn’t normal. Blood doesn’t glow.”I flinched. My father’s words came back to me, ‘You’re too weak, Estelle. You’ll never be more than a shadow beside Anette without a wol

Chapter 4 ...ZenThe first time she cried, I expected her to beg. Most do. Wolves abandoned by their pack usually crawl on their knees, bargaining, spitting empty promises of loyalty. But Estelle didn’t do that. She folded into herself on the cold ground, shaking like she was breaking apart, and I stood there watching, arms crossed, daring her to prove me right.Her father’s message still burned in my hand. She means nothing to me. Do with her as you please.Nothing. That was the word he used. The great Alpha Ronan didn’t even bother with excuses. He had disowned her with a single sentence.And yet she wept like she still belonged to him.Pathetic. Or maybe… not.I wasn’t sure why I didn’t throw her out that night. It would have been easy. My men hated her already, the daughter of their enemy, sitting in our den like a lamb waiting for slaughter. Some wanted her executed, others wanted her dragged back across the border as a warning. I silenced them with a look. For reasons I

Chapter 3 ...Estelle The world returned to me in fragments; dull voices, the crackle of fire, the sharp sting in my side where the blade had cut me. My eyelids fluttered open, and the first thing I saw was stone. A rough ceiling above me, darkened by soot.I shifted, wincing as pain flared through my body. I wasn’t lying on the forest floor anymore. I was in some kind of room…no, a den. The smell of pine, smoke, and something stronger, muskier, filled the air.“She’s awake,” a voice muttered.My eyes darted to the side. Two men stood at the door, broad-shouldered, their stances rigid. Warriors. Their eyes glowed faintly under the torchlight, and neither looked remotely friendly.Fear coiled in my chest. Where was I?“Where… where am I?” My voice was hoarse, trembling.One of the warriors smirked. “You’re in Bloodfang territory, little wolf.”My stomach dropped. Bloodfang? The rival pack. The pack my father hated above all others.Before I could respond, the door creaked open, a

Chapter 2 ...Estelle Elias’s words clung to me like frostbite.“If you stay, you’ll be dead before sunrise.”I sat frozen on the floor of my room, staring at him, trying to make sense of his face in the shadows. His jaw was tight, his shoulders stiff, but there was something in his eyes that unsettled me. Fear. Urgency. Not the kind of look you gave to someone you’d humiliated at the altar hours earlier.“You’ve already ruined me,” I whispered. My voice shook, brittle like glass. “Now you come to threaten me?”“I’m not threatening you, Estelle.” His voice was clipped. “I’m warning you. Leave tonight.”I stood, every ounce of pain inside me twisting into anger. “Why should I believe you? You rejected me in front of everyone. You chose her. And now you think I’ll listen to you?”His gaze softened for the briefest second, then hardened again. “Think what you want. But if you’re still here by morning, you won’t live to regret it.”He turned, hand already on the door.“Elias!” My voi

Chapter 1...Estelle My heart raced so loudly I could hear it over the music echoing through the grand hall. The candles flickered, filling the room with golden light, and the scent of roses clung to the air. This was the happiest day of my life. My wedding day. My birthday. The day I would stand beside Elias, my mate, and begin our future together as Alpha and Luna of the Crescent Moon Pack.I had dreamed of this moment for years, but standing at the altar in my white gown, hands trembling inside his, something felt… off. His eyes didn’t shine the way they used to when he looked at me. Instead of warmth, I saw something unreadable in his gaze, and it made my heart churn. “Do you, Elias, take Estelle as your mate, your Luna, to stand by her through the years to come?” the elder asked, his voice ceremonial.The entire pack leaned in, and I heard the sound of breaths held. My stomach tightened with nerves, but I smiled at Elias, waiting for the words I had longed to hear.He opene
