ElaraThe hallway of the academy felt like a cage.The sound of the students, their laughter, and their voices all came together in a symphony of chaos that made its way to the other common areas. My heart, which had been beating with excitement, now felt like a rock. The scroll in my pocket felt like a time bomb.I had to move it to a safe place, so I went straight to my locker as a temporary location. I couldn't walk around with the scroll in my pocket.I reached my locker, and the smell of metal, old books, and a past that wasn't mine surrounded me. With trembling hands, I opened my locker. I took out the scroll, and my heart was pounding. I felt like the world was going to break because of how thin the paper was, which is why I had to hide it. The only thing I could think of was to hide it in my other bag.Suddenly, a voice I knew very well stopped me.“Elara?” asked the principal, his voice a mixture of surprise and strange curiosity.I turned around, and my body froze when I saw
ElaraThe morning sun felt like a caress on my skin as I walked with Jayden toward the castle, but the air around us was filled with a tension that made me uncomfortable. I didn't know why, since Jayden and I walked in silence, a silence that wasn't uncomfortable but one filled with a strange peace.Breakfast had been a balm for my soul, a reminder that despite the danger, the prophecy, and the distance, life could be normal. But that normality was shattered the moment we walked through the castle gates.Something inside me activated, and then I felt the stares of my other mates.Seconds later, like a wave, Aiden's and Brayden's auras landed on me abruptly, to the point where I gasped in surprise. They were a mixture of relief and a fury I didn't understand, which made me shake my head.“Are you okay?” Jayden asked, and I nodded.He didn't say anything, so I just stayed calm.I had to be strong.So I gathered my courage and searched for them with my eyes until I found them at the door
JaydenI had met up with my friends and had a bad feeling.You should go home, said Jax, my beast.If I had learned anything from him, it was to listen to him when necessary, so I got up in the middle of a card game, and my friends looked at me with raised eyebrows.“Are you leaving already?” Dan asked, frowning.“Yes, I need to go,” I said simply.“Is it because of the half-breed?” Dan asked, and Iris hit him on the head. “It’s a valid question; ignore everyone for her!”Iris and Carl looked at each other silently; I just looked at Dan angrily.“If you call her half-breed again, I’ll knock all your teeth out,” I said angrily.None of my friends said anything; there was nothing to say, so I left quickly. When I got to the castle, it felt very empty, so much so that my chest began to burn as if there were a fire inside that wouldn’t go out.I knew immediately that Elara was gone.When I reached the terrace, my brothers looked upset, and I knew immediately that they hadn't found her.“W
ElaraWe hugged each other, and it was like a sisterly embrace, a hug between broken souls coming together.Louisa held me, and her warmth was a refuge. I felt safe, and I felt understood. The tension that had consumed me dissipated, replaced by a calm that made me feel that, despite everything, despite the prophecy, despite the distance, I was not alone.We separated, and the silence was broken by the sound of a rumbling stomach.Mine.Louisa laughed, a laugh that made me feel at home, and I couldn't help but laugh too; it was too funny in that situation.“Come on, I’ll make you something to eat,” my friend said calmly.We went to the kitchen, and she made some hamburgers that turned out very tasty, so we had dinner in peace and talked about trivial things, our teachers, upcoming exams, classes, and the people around us.It felt good, it felt natural, and it felt familiar.The connection I had with Louisa was genuine.We laughed, and the sound of our laughter filled the house.The pa
ElaraThe sound of the engine had fallen completely silent.My mind was a whirlwind of voices, images, and words I didn't understand and couldn't process. The only thing that came to me at that moment was Jayden's devotion, Aiden's warmth, and Brayden's serenity. All I could think about was the fact that I had grown accustomed to it and didn't know how to let it go.Fear overwhelmed me, a fear that made me tremble.The Oracle, the blood, the prophecy, the warning... it all came together in a symphony of terror that made me want to scream. The tears I had been holding back with all my strength spilled down my cheeks uncontrollably. They were not just tears of fear but of deep sadness. A sadness that made me feel like my heart was going to break.The Alpha sat down next to me and said nothing.He just looked at me, and in his gaze, I saw a compassion that made me cry even harder.The world moved around me, a fog of pain, fear, and despair. Tears streamed down my cheeks, soaking my cloth
ElaraThe astonishment on the Oracle's face was a palpable force, a force that filled the cave and made me feel as if my world had stopped. His eyes, which had been a silvery glow, were now filled with a mixture of reverence and terror that made me tremble as darkness clouded them.The Oracle said nothing, just looked at me, and in his gaze, I saw that my destiny was not a normal one but one that would change the world.That terrified me completely.My skin bristled, and bile rose in my throat. I wanted to vomit, but I couldn't.Nerves attacked my stomach viciously.Then, in a slow movement that felt like it lasted an eternity, the Oracle leaned over the sacred fountain, and his lips touched the water. He drank as if he were parched with thirst, the water, a source of light, sliding quickly down his throat. And then, a sound, the sound of a heart breaking, was heard.My ears roared strangely, and my wolf cried without explanation.A strange tension overwhelmed me, then the Oracle stra
