Chapter: Chapter #80heard a knock on the door and saw a nurse enter the room. She smiled and said that she was here to help me get ready to leave the hospital. She said that I had recovered well from my injury, and that I could go home today. She said that she just needed to do some final checks and paperwork, and then I would be free to go.She asked me if I had anyone waiting for me outside, and if I needed any assistance. I nodded and said that I had someone waiting for me, someone very special. I said that I didn't need any assistance, but that I would appreciate some privacy. She said that she understood, and that she would be back in a few minutes.She left the room, closing the door behind her. I got up from the bed and walked towards the window, feeling a rush of excitement and nervousness. I looked outside and saw Archard standing by his car, looking at his phone. He looked handsome and charming, as always. He wore a blue shirt and jeans, and a leather jacket. He had a smile on his face, but als

Chapter: Chapter #79Finally I'm here in front of all members. I was searching for archard that where is he? I am sure he is late? I don't known what should I do with him. He is such an irresponsible men.I was holding the speech letter and thought that may be I'm he is late? but on this important occasion ? how is it possible? I scanned the faces of the members of the Alpha Union council, hoping to catch a glimpse of Archard. He was supposed to be here, representing his family and their interests. But he was nowhere to be seen. Neither were his parents, Miss Smith and Mr. Smith. They had always been punctual and reliable, so their absence was alarming. Where were they? Why were they not here? Had something happened to them?I felt a surge of anxiety and concern, mixed with a hint of frustration. Archard was my friend, and I cared about him. But he was also my ally, and I needed him. We had a plan to propose a new policy that would benefit our district, and we had to act fast before the council voted on t

I close my eyes, and I slow down my breathing. I stay still, and I wait.He opens the door, and he walks into my room. He looks at me, and he smiles. He says:"Hey, sleeping beauty. You look so peaceful. You look so innocent. You look so mine."He walks to my bed, and he sits on the edge. He reaches out his hand, and he strokes my hair. He says:"I'm sorry I left you alone. I had some business to take care of. Some unexpected guests. But don't worry, it's all under control. It's all taken care of."He leans in, and he kisses my cheek. He says:"I'll be back soon. I'll be back for you. I'll be back to make love to you."He stands up, and he walks to the door. He says:"Sleep well, my love. Sleep well, my mate."He closes the door, and he locks it from outside.He leaves me alone.I open my eyes, and I feel a shi

We had bonded over our shared love of protection and care, and our hatred of the oppressive regime that ruled over us. We had joined the resistance together, fighting for freedom and justice. We had risked our lives for each other, countless times. And then he came along.Azalaic was a wolf shift

Chapter: Chapter 80:Not All Summons Are HisThe sky had changed by the time we left the stone archways of the dining hall. The sun was still up—barely—but it clung to the horizon like it, too, wasn’t ready to see what came next. Everything was steeped in that late-winter dusk, the kind that blurred edges and made the world feel half-real, as though the trees and stone paths had all been dipped in smoke and memory.I followed the boy in silence. His pace was neither hurried nor idle, but something in between—like someone accustomed to being watched, or followed, but not spoken to. I didn’t ask his name. He didn’t offer it. We weren’t companions, or classmates, or anything close to familiar. He was only the bridge. A necessary thread woven between one decision and the next.With each step, Ashwood Academy began to shrink behind us—not physically, but in weight. In presence. The sharp iron gates, the frost-etched towers, even the haunting rhythm of the Academy bell tolling the hour—all of it began to fade as the path sloped downwa

Chapter: Chapter 79: Summoned by FireFor a moment, I didn’t move.Didn’t breathe.Didn’t blink.The name echoed in my mind like a bell rung too close to the ear—sharp and resonant, reverberating long after the sound itself had faded. Atlas Blackwood. Two words that unraveled something in me, pulled a hidden thread I hadn’t realized was holding so many things together. My name still hung in the air, unanswered. Aubrey Sinclair. It didn’t feel like mine anymore. It felt like a summons.I stared at the boy who had delivered it, as if doing so long enough might cause him to vanish. But he didn’t. He simply stood there—silent, still, patient in the way only someone who had never been denied could be. He wasn’t older than us, not by much, but he wore his legacy like armor, polished and unyielding. His blazer was pressed without crease, his collar starched to severity, and the insignia on his chest—Blackwood’s crest—gleamed cold as a winter star. His hands were folded behind his back. Not as a gesture of politeness, but of cont

Chapter: Chapter 78: House Morrow’s LeverageWe returned to the table not because we wanted to, but because there was nowhere else to go. The long mahogany bench beneath us groaned as we sat, its worn edges gleaming faintly beneath the breakfast hall’s flickering chandeliers. Steam curled from chipped teacups abandoned by earlier students, the scent of orange peel and bitter herbs clinging to the air. Somewhere down the row, someone laughed. The clang of cutlery rose and fell in the background—too distant to matter, yet loud enough to remind me the world was still moving.Callum sat across from us, elbows braced on the table, his fingers steepled as if in prayer—or restraint. His gaze flicked from me to Ingrid, then back again. “Are you two all right?” he asked finally, but it wasn’t really a question. It was a placeholder. A bridge to something heavier.Ingrid didn’t answer. She didn’t look at him. She didn’t look at me either. She just stared forward, eyes blank, the corner of her mouth drawn taut like she was biting the insid

Chapter: Chapter 77: Crisis Management Over CroissantsThe next thing I knew—though perhaps “knew” was too generous a word for the way time frayed after trauma—I was sitting in the dining hall, legs folded stiffly beneath the table’s edge, hands curled in my lap, the scent of honeyed pastries and brewed coffee wafting faintly beneath the vaulted ceiling, as though nothing had happened, as though my skin hadn’t almost been branded in front of an entire courtyard filled with faculty only hours ago. Across from me sat Callum, posture straight but not rigid, the corners of his mouth slack with the sort of careful, quiet restraint he wore when the world around him cracked but he hadn’t quite decided whether to patch it or let it break clean through. He wasn’t speaking. Not yet. Just watching, the way one might watch a storm cloud that hadn’t decided whether to pass or strike. His gaze wasn’t on me, though—not entirely. No, his attention—like mine—had been commandeered by the third person at our table, who, for all intents and purposes, appear

Chapter: Chapter 76: By Order of the High CouncilThe man with the scroll let the final words settle—no, sink—into the courtyard like ash descending from a pyre long since burned, the syllables hanging with the weight of law that had no room for mercy. He did not look at me as he gave the next command. He didn’t have to.“Proceed,” he said simply, and the two guards stepped forward in unison.Their movements were precise, practiced—so eerily synchronized that I wondered how many times they had performed this same ritual, how many bodies had passed through their hands to be bound, stilled, branded. They were not cruel in the way they touched me—there was no malice in their grip—but neither was there softness. One guard took my right shoulder, the other my left, and I felt the weight of them settle into place behind me like a yoke, like stone pillars closing in, each hand heavy and unyielding as they pressed down through the fabric of my sleeves and into the bone beneath. I did not resist—not yet—but my muscles locked instinctively ben

Chapter: Chapter 75: The Ember DecreeThe moment Professor Marwood’s footsteps vanished beyond the stone archway, it was as if the air thinned with his absence. The tension he left behind did not dissipate—it hovered, thick and immovable, like the remnants of smoke after something sacred has burned. I stood in the echo of it, wrists clasped too tightly behind me, the cold from the flagstone floor beginning to seep through the thin soles of my shoes and into the bones of my heels.Callum hadn’t spoken. Not yet. Not since the final pronouncement.His silence wasn’t cold, but it was restrained—tightly wound, as though he was holding something back with both hands and wasn’t sure whether it would come out as words… or fire.I turned to him, slowly. I didn’t try to mask the tremor in my voice.“Callum,” I said, and the sound of his name felt strange in the stillness—too soft, too human for what we were standing inside. “What is it? The Ember Marking?”He didn’t look at me right away. His eyes were still fixed on the archway wh

Chapter: Chapter #81 ( The End)I spun around, presenting the USB drive to Heather. Her eyes sparkled with relief and excitement. "Thank heavens, we've located it just in time. The runway show has already started," she exclaimed. "What? The show has begun? We need to get this USB drive to Alan Soros before the show ends," I responded, a sense of urgency creeping into my voice. "You're absolutely right. Hand me the USB drive. I'll rush it over to Alan. Meanwhile, you should go and locate Declan and Robin," Heather instructed, extending her hand towards me. Without a second thought, I placed the USB drive in her outstretched hand. Heather curled her fingers around the USB drive, a smirk playing on her lips. It was an expression I hadn't seen on her face before, "Heather, what's going on?" I asked her. In a split second, Heather's demeanor changed. The friendly, supportive Heather I knew seemed to vanish, replaced by a stranger. She looked at me, her eyes cold and distant. "I'm sorry," she said, her voice devoid

Chapter: Chapter #80The Next DayWe all three got ready at robin house and took her Robin puff: The magic wagon. We left earlier because we don't want to be stuck in the traffic jam forever.Currently, we are waiting for Declan, outside of a hotel where the collection launch will happen. " Should we call him, Stassie?” Heather’s voice cut through the silence, her silhouette outlined against the dashboard lights of the wagon.“No, he’ll be here any moment now. He told us to wait,” I replied, my gaze fixed on the hotel entrance. As if on cue, Declan emerged from the hotel, his eyes scanning the area. Robin, quick to react, slid the back door open and waved to catch his attention. Her efforts were rewarded as Declan spotted us, crossed the road, and hopped into the back of the wagon.In his hand, he held our golden tickets to the event - the invitation letters for the fashion runway show. “Everyone got their invites?” he asked, his eyes meeting each of ours in turn.“Yeah, I guess so…” I responded, my fing

Chapter: Chapter #80I looked up and found a dark silhouette in n the window of the of the second floor which was obvious to my eyes was heather's. She didn't do anything to help me. She just stands there and looking at my mesirable life.I turned around and walked back to my former home and took my suitcase from the porch and stopped a cab. "Take me to a budget hotel," I told the cab driver, my voice barely above a whisper. The city lights blurred past as he nodded and steered the cab towards the less glamorous part of town.Before long, we pulled up in front of a rundown building, its neon sign flickering intermittently. "Here we are, miss," the driver announced, his eyes meeting mine in the rearview mirror.I paid the fare and stepped out, my suitcase in tow. The hotel lobby was dimly lit, and a sense of unease washed over me. I approached the front desk, where a disinterested receptionist handed me a key."Room 204, second floor," he mumbled, not bothering to look up from his newspaper.As I unlocked

Chapter: Chapter #78"He's heartbroken, Stassie, You have broken up his trust and he will never forgive you for it" he finally said, his voice barely above a whisper. "Why did you do this to him?"I do not think I responded immediately, for it took me a moment or two to fully digest these words I felt a lump in my throat, my heart aching at his words. "I... I never wanted to," I managed to say, my voice trembling. "Believe me, Declan, hurting Eden was the last thing I wanted." "I didn't even know I was talking to Eden Wylon," I confessed, my voice barely above a whisper. "He never told me who he was. The first time I met him in person, I wanted to tell him the truth, but he didn't even look at me."I paused, taking a deep breath before continuing. "He was smitten by Heather's beauty. That's why he proposed to her."Declan looked at me, his eyebrows furrowing in confusion. "Eden didn't propose to Heather," he said, his voice firm. "Who told you that?"Robin and I exchanged a glance, a realization dawning

Chapter: Chapter #77Three days later...It's been three days since I last saw Eden. And since then I have cried so much that no tears left in me to shed.My head aches, my eyes burn, my arms and legs have given up, and my face in the mirror has a grayish cast. The bed, across the room, calls in its unmistakable lover's croon, Come to me, come, only I can make you truly happy, oh, how happy I'll make you, don't resist to cry.I blame myself for everything that occurred in my life and I wanted to fix it but Eden didn't give me chance to speak. I've been calling him continuously form past three days but didn't attend single call and I guess he didn't want to do anything with me. And I totally got it why? but my heart doesn't want to understand.

My heart was racing so fast that it felt like it was about to burst out of my chest.He looked at me, his gaze intense and unwavering. "I've been grappling with these feelings for a while now," he confessed, "It's like I've been caught in a storm, and you're the only shelter I seek."He paused, his hand gently squeezing mine. "When you're not around, it feels like the colors are less vibrant, the world less interesting. It's like I'm seeing everything in grayscale. But when you're here, it's like the world comes alive. You bring color to my world, you make everything seem brighter, more beautiful."He moved closer, his eyes never leaving mine. "Your passion, your creativity, your spirit... they've enchanted me.
