THE 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, groundin

    Stephanie’s POV:Heat flooded my cheeks, a deep, burning crimson that I was certain was visible even in the dim light of the room. The silence that followed my sudden intrusion was heavy, thick enough to choke on. They didn’t say a word, and that was the worst part. If they had shouted, or even laughed, I might have found a way to navigate the situation. But their stillness was predatory, a collective observation that made me feel like a bug pinned under a microscope.I tried to swallow, but my throat felt like it was lined with sandpaper. I opened my mouth to offer an explanation, any explanation, but my brain had gone completely offline. My thoughts were a static mess of panic and regret. I had to say something. I couldn't just stand there gaping at them like a fish out of water.“I… I was just…” I stammered, the words dying before they could form a coherent sentence.“What the hell are you doing here?” Alaric’s voice cut through my stuttering like a blade. It wasn't loud, but the

    Stephanie's POV:A few hours later, I had taken my bath and changed into the dress that had been prepared for me.The emerald-green fabric felt soft against my skin, and the silver embroidery shimmered whenever I moved. It was beautiful, almost too beautiful for the simple evening I had imagined having.I stood in front of the mirror and pulled my hair into a simple ponytail, allowing a few strands to fall naturally around my face.I stared at my reflection.My face was bare and simple. I hadn't bothered applying any makeup. I wasn't in the mood for it. After everything that had happened today, the last thing I wanted was to sit in front of a mirror and spend time making myself look perfect.I just wanted to breathe.I tilted my head slightly as I studied my reflection one more time.For a moment, I barely recognized the girl staring back at me.So much had changed in a single day.My wolf had awakened. I had discovered that the five men who were supposed to be my step brothers were a

    Stephanie’s POV: My gaze slowly swept around the house as I stepped inside. The interior was nothing like I had expected. The mansion's exterior had been grand enough, but the inside was on an entirely different level. Every inch of the entrance hall radiated elegance and wealth. The polished marble floor reflected the warm glow of an enormous crystal chandelier that hung from the impossibly high ceiling. The walls were decorated with intricate gold moldings, while enormous portraits of what I assumed were former Alphas and members of the Argento bloodline watched over the hall with stern expressions. A crimson runner stretched from the entrance all the way toward a magnificent curved staircase that split into two directions before leading to the upper floor. Dark mahogany railings gleamed beneath the soft lighting, their polished surfaces looking almost untouched by time. Expensive-looking paintings hung neatly along the walls, each framed in gold. Antique vases stood proudly on

    Stephanie's POV:The car rolled to a gentle stop in front of the mansion.For a moment, no one moved.Then Ares stepped out first.He walked around the car with measured steps before opening the door on my side. One hand rested on the edge of the door while the other was extended toward me, silently offering his assistance.His eyes met mine."You've arrived safely, Princess."Ignoring the title, I placed my hand lightly in his.His grip was firm but gentle as he helped me out of the car.The moment both of my feet touched the ground—Every person standing on the staircase bowed.It happened so suddenly that I froze.Not one or two people. Every single one of them.The maids. The butlers.The guards.Even the gardeners working farther away paused to lower their heads respectfully."..."I blinked.Surely...They couldn't be bowing to me.I instinctively stepped aside, assuming they were greeting the Argento triplets instead.After all, this was their home. They were the Alphas. It on

    Stephanie's POV:Aasher sat behind the wheel, his hands resting confidently on the steering wheel as the car glided smoothly along the quiet road. Beside him in the passenger seat was Aagney, who stared out through the windshield with his usual calm expression. Ares sat beside me in the back seat, leaving enough space between us to keep things comfortable, yet somehow I was painfully aware of his presence.The ride was silent.Not the peaceful kind of silence that settled between people who enjoyed each other's company, but the heavy silence that followed an emotional storm.I rested my head lightly against the cool window, my eyes following the blur of towering trees, quiet streets, and passing houses. The scenery changed every few seconds, but my mind refused to move on.Their faces were still etched into my memory.Tyler.The pain in his eyes had been impossible to ignore.He had looked at me as though I had ripped his heart out with my bare hands.Then there was Nicholas.His brea

    Nicholas’s POV:My entire focus narrowed to Stephanie, as if the rest of the world had dimmed into nothing but background noise. The room, my brothers, even the steady rhythm of my own breathing—none of it mattered. All I wanted, all I needed, was for her to say something that would undo this moment. Something that would prove the Argento brothers were lying. That this wasn’t real. That she wasn’t really choosing them.Anything but this.“Ares is right,” she said, and just like that, the fragile thread of hope I had been clinging to snapped clean in half.Her voice didn’t shake. It didn’t waver. If anything, it was steady in a way that made it hurt even more.“I belong to them now. You and your brothers don’t have any claim on me anymore.”Each word landed with brutal precision, carving through what little was left inside me. It wasn’t just rejection, it was finality. A door slammed shut with no intention of ever opening again.I parted my lips, desperate to respond, to argue, to deny

    Stephanie’s POV:When I first stepped onto the field, I froze at the sight before me. Real people, actual human beings were being used in this challenge. My stomach churned with unease, but I had no other option but to participate. I couldn’t afford to back out now, not when so much was at stake.

    Tyler’s POV:The hunt was going better than expected. The forest, shrouded in twilight, was eerily silent except for the occasional crackle of leaves beneath our boots and the distant rustle of branches overhead. We had already taken down several animals, their lifeless forms marking a trail deeper

    Nicholas's POV:There was something about the way she said it that sent shivers down my spine. She meant every single word. The last time we left her in the dark about the locator spell, she ended up in danger while trying to find answers on her own. In the short time I've known her, I’ve learned a
