I have spent most of my life learning how to vanish. Invisible in the halls, unnoticed in the classrooms, unremarkable in every way. People overlook you when you do not want attention, but that is different from being truly seen. Truly seen is dangerous. It hurts. And I have learned that the hard way. But tonight… tonight, it’s different.Alejandro called us into the meeting room, all six of us, the three teenagers, as well as Koa, Esme, Selene and Zenith at the center, a quiet anchor I did not know I needed. I watch as she moves among us, human yet more powerful than anyone I have ever known.Her hands are gentle, almost hypnotic, and her eyes… they do not just look at me, they see me. All the fractures I have buried, all the pieces of myself I have hidden behind sarcasm and distance, they do not frighten her. They matter.Then Alejandro raises his hand, and I feel it before I even understand it, a pulse, subtle, threa

Alejandro's Human Antidote Training the Untrainable: 4
Alejandro’s POV Eldric did not summon a ring. He did not clear space or draw a boundary or warn anyone to step back. That should have terrified me. Instead, it focused me. The others watched from a distance, Valerius silent as a carved monument, Cassian restless and sharp-eyed, Seraphine unreadable, Zenith standing where she always did now: close enough to anchor me without interfering. Inferno stirred low and steady, no longer coiled for combat but alert and observant. Eldric planted his staff into the earth once. The sound was dull. Unremarkable but reality locked. I felt it immediately, not pressure, not weight, but finality. The air no longer bent. Time did not stretch. Distance became absolute. Every instinct that relied on momentum, speed, or improvisation simply… failed to activate. I tried to step forward. My body refused. Not paralysis. Authorization denied. “You feel it,” Eldric said calmly. His voice carried no malice, no triumph. “Good. Most never do. They mistake ine
Alejandro's Human Antidote Training the Untrainable: 3
Alejandro’s POV Cassian left bruises. Seraphine left questions. By the time she stepped into the ring, my body had mostly recovered. Inferno had knitted muscle and bone with impatient efficiency, but the deeper fatigue lingered, the kind that settled behind the eyes, where instincts had been dragged out into the open and examined under harsh light. Seraphine did not look at me like prey. That alone unsettled me. She rose from the platform with unhurried grace, silver rings chiming softly as she descended into the circle. No surge of power announced her. No pressure bent the air. The wards Eldric had placed remained passive, as if unsure whether they were needed. “Do you know why witches terrify warriors?” she asked gently. I shook my head. “Because we don’t fight you,” she said. “We decide who you are when the fight begins.” Zenith shifted at the edge of the clearing. Inferno stirred, wary now, not of violence, but of influence. Seraphine smiled faintly. “This will not hurt,”

Alejandro’s POVValerius left me with silence. Cassian gave me none. “Stand up,” he said cheerfully, the word carrying like a thrown blade across the training grounds.I had barely stepped out of the ring when his voice followed me, bright with anticipation. My muscles were still trembling from Valerius’s lesson, my bones intact, my pride less so. Inferno remained coiled beneath my ribs, watchful now in a different way. Less wary of attack. More wary of corruption.Cassian had not moved from his pillar. He didn’t need to. “You look like a man who thinks he’s learned something,” he continued. “That’s dangerous.”I straightened anyway, rolling my shoulders, testing the aches Valerius had left behind. Nothing broken. Nothing spared. “What do you teach?” I asked. Cassian’s grin widened, sharp and unapologetic. “Honesty.”He pushed off the pillar and walked into the ring with the lazy confidence of a predator who had never known urgency. Where Valerius had felt like inevitability, Cassian
Alejandro's Human Antidote Training the Untrainable
Alejandro’s POVNow that the bloodcraft had stabilized, there was nowhere left to hide. Inferno was quiet in a way that told me everything had changed. Not withdrawn. Not sleeping. Simply… watching. The old wolf was no longer braced against the world on Zenith’s behalf. The threat had shifted inward, and he knew it. So did I.Dawn found me in the lower training grounds, the stone ring still cold from the night, the air sharp with pine and lake mist drifting up from Tahoe below. My breath fogged as I exhaled, steady, measured. Muscles loose. Spine aligned. Every habit drilled into me by years of discipline checked and rechecked.My body had been reforged by thunder tribulation, hammered until weakness burned away. I had mastered human combat systems, ancient and modern, angles, leverage, economy of motion. Against humans, I was lethal. Against most supernaturals, I was competent. That illusion lasted exactly three heartbeats.Valerius Drakos stood at the edge of the circle, arms folded
Alejandro's Human Antidote Anchoring The Essence
Zenith’s POVAs dawn struck, I was already at Plot Thirteen. The mist still lingered, clinging to the basin and the freshly aligned vessels, their sigils faintly glowing with the residual pulse of the previous night. I stepped carefully, Alejandro at my side, his presence grounding me in the quiet hum of anticipation. I felt Inferno stir through our mate bond, not urgent, not impatient, just watching, steady and warm, like a heartbeat threaded through my spine.Seraphine arrived silently, as though she had grown from the forest itself. Eldric followed, methodical, his eyes scanning the vessels with that same piercing calculation he always wore. I could feel the land itself leaning closer, attentive to our intentions, waiting for the next step.“This is the phase that will define the bloodcraft,” I murmured, more to myself than anyone else. “If we falter here, it will echo in everything that follows.”Seraphine crouche
Alejandro's Human Antidote The First Sip
Zenith’s POVThe early morning mist still clung to Plot Thirteen when we returned to the vessels. The barrels glimmered faintly in the rising sun, runes alive with the memory of blood, lineage, and consent. I felt the land beneath my feet hum, patient but alert, as though it, too, wanted to witness what would come next.Alejandro’s hand found mine again, grounding me. “They trust you,” he whispered. “Now we see if it will trust them.”Lucien stepped forward first, calm and deliberate. He had been the foundation, the volunteer whose willingness had anchored everything. I had watched him transform from the man bracing against hunger into someone lighter, freer. Now, he would show the first test of our work.Seraphine and Eldric flanked the vessels, their presence quiet but vigilant. I knelt beside the first barrel, inhaling the faint scent of iron, ley ash, and herbs a scent that was becoming familiar, almost comforting. “Remember,” I
