Stephanie's POV:

“I’ll give you access to the portal.”

I blinked, staring at him in disbelief. “What?”

“I’ll take you to the portal,” he said, his tone matter-of-fact. “If you want to leave, I won’t stop you.”

For a moment, I couldn’t speak. I couldn’t even think. Was he serious? After everything, was he really going to let me go?

“Are you serious?” I finally managed to say.

He frowned. “Don’t make me regret it.”

“Thank you,” I whispered, still in shock. I followed him as he led the way out of the woods. My mind was a whirlwind of emotions—relief, confusion, doubt. Why was he doing this? Why did he care?

Soon, we were back at the mansion. The party was still in full swing, but Tyler didn’t stop. He led me straight to the garage, where a sleek black sports car awaited us. I climbed in, my hands trembling as I buckled my seatbelt.

As the car roared to life and we pulled out of the compound, I turned to him, my voice hesitant. “Why are you doing this? Why are you letting me go?”

    Stephanie's POV:“Drrnggg…” My alarm blared, jolting me awake.It was already 8 a.m. I lay still, staring at the ceiling, as the events of yesterday replayed in my mind. A sinking feeling settled in my chest. I didn’t have the strength to show my face at school today. Deep down, I knew what awaited me. Trouble. Akira wouldn’t rest until she made my life a living hell, especially now that she had the power to do so.Should I just stop going to school and switch to online classes?The thought lingered, but then I pictured Akira’s smug, condescending smile every time she spoke to me. No. That would be cowardly, and I am not a coward. I have to face the consequences of my failure, no matter how bad they may be.I clenched my jaw. I wasn’t running away from Akira. Not now, not ever.I dragged myself out of bed and shuffled into the bathroom. After a quick shower, I pulled on a simple outfit. A pair of high-waisted black jeans, a soft lavender sweater that hugged my figure, and white sn

    Aiden’s POV:Hearing her words broke my heart in ways I hadn't imagined. I couldn’t blame her, though. I made her think of me like this. I gave her no reason to like me. I wanted to keep her at a distance, and it worked. Too well.I stepped back, trying to swallow the lump in my throat. I shouldn’t tell her what I wanted to tell her. I shouldn’t let her know that I was wrong from the start when I said she would lose because she was weak. I shouldn’t tell her that her efforts shocked me, that she did far better than I ever expected. I shouldn’t tell her that, in my eyes, she was the winner.No. Telling her all this would break the barrier I’d spent so long building between us. That barrier was the only thing keeping me from giving in to the mate bond. I had to resist it. I had to keep my distance until the day of rejection. I’d already decided this. I needed to hold firm.I stared into her eyes, and my resolve wavered. She looked so broken. I could feel her pain as if it were my own. L

    Stephanie’s POV:I didn’t respond or even try to get up. Even if I wanted to, I couldn’t. My body refused to cooperate. It was too broken, too bruised, too heavy to move. The fight was over, and there was no denying it now. I had lost.“Three.” The bell rang, its sound sharp and final.“The winner of the Rank Duel Challenge is Akira Williams,” the school head announced, his voice echoing across the field. “The loser hereby becomes the omega of the winner, who is now the Alpha, and is obliged to do everything the Alpha demands as stated in the Rank Duel Challenge rules. Refusal to comply will lead to dire consequences.”Akira’s wolf let out a triumphant howl, the sound reverberating through the air like a war cry. The crowd erupted into a chaotic mixture of cheers and gasps, their emotions a cacophony of excitement, pity, and morbid fascination. My body lay motionless on the ground, aching and trembling as I stared up at the sky, my vision blurred with exhaustion and humiliation.A

    Stephanie’s POV:The crowd around the field had fallen eerily silent, their cheers replaced by gasps and murmurs. I could feel their eyes on me, waiting, questioning. Could I fight her like this? Could I even stand a chance? My heart thundered in my chest, but I forced myself to swallow the lump of fear rising in my throat. This wasn’t the time to falter. I had to try.I shifted my stance, my feet firmly planted on the ground, and brought my hands up in a defensive position. Tyler’s voice echoed in my mind: “You fight smarter, not harder. Use your opponent’s strength against them. Stay calm, and don’t let fear control you.”But how was I supposed to stay calm when a predator twice my size was stalking toward me?Akira’s wolf let out a deep, guttural growl that rumbled through the ground beneath my feet. Her massive paws moved silently over the dirt, each step closer sending a jolt of adrenaline through my veins. She was testing me, circling me, watching for an opening. I knew she wa

    The next day - FridayTHE FINAL ROUND OF THE RANK DUEL CHALLENGE *************Stephanie’s POV:The school field hummed with tension, the energy from the gathered crowd electrifying the air. I stood in the center of the vast space, my heart pounding like a war drum. Across from me, Akira stood tall, her cold gaze locked onto mine. Her presence was commanding, her confidence unwavering, and I couldn’t deny the flicker of unease that coursed through me. But I clenched my fists tighter, grounding myself. There was no room for fear now.The field was surrounded by students, their murmurs blending into a dull roar. Some cheered for Akira, others for me, but their voices were nothing more than background noise. My focus was solely on the opponent standing before me. This was the final round of the rank duel challenge, and I had come too far to falter now.Akira's lips curled into a faint smirk, as if she could already taste victory. I refused to let it shake me. I wasn’t the same person I

    Stephanie’s POV:The training field was eerily quiet as Tyler guided me toward it, his strong hand wrapped around mine. The warmth of his touch anchored me. I couldn’t help but glance up at him as we walked, his face set in a calm, determined expression. It was one of the many things I admired about Tyler. His ability to remain steady even when everything around him was spiraling out of control. I wanted to believe in his confidence, to let it seep into my own heart, but the worry gnawing at me refused to let go.The faint glow of the moon illuminated the field as we arrived. The training grounds, surrounded by tall trees, looked both serene and intimidating. In the stillness of the night, I could hear the faint rustling of leaves and the distant chirping of crickets. Tyler let go of my hand, stepping forward to survey the open space.“Alright,” he said, turning to face me. His voice was firm but not harsh, a perfect balance of authority and reassurance. “Before we do anything else,
