LOGINRavenna's POVMy eyes shut in pain as I gasped loudly. I could feel the skin on my back aching badly.I wanted to let out a scream of pain, but the moment my eyes shot open and I saw everyone looking at me, I held it back. My palms curled into tight fists at my sides. I stood up with gritted teeth, even though all I wanted to do was crawl across the floor.Then, acting as if I was completely fine, I stood up straight and walked towards everyone else.Everyone was looking at me as if they had seen a ghost, which made me feel very uncomfortable, especially since I was injured. How badly I wanted to wince in pain, but under their gaze, I had to remain calm."Hello, everyone," Butler called, drawing everyone's attention.The crowd's attention shifted from me to him.I couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief."Since everyone who is conscious is out of the ring, it's time for the assessment," Beta Gideon announced.I looked over at the podium, but instead of looking at Beta Gideon, I was
Ravenna's POV"What the hell is going on?" I muttered to myself as I dodged an attack from one of the metallic figures.My heart was beating rapidly. If one of these metallic bodies managed to strike me, the wound would be fatal.Even though I wasn't monitoring the others, I knew everyone had already gotten out of the ring.Getting out through the bars should have been one of the fastest ways to escape the ring. But just as I was climbing up, the bars suddenly sprouted thorns.If not for Xevira's instincts, I would have been seriously injured."This is not the time to get lost in thought," Xevira warned.Her words pulled me back to reality.I saw two metallic figures with swords charging at me from opposite directions.Their intentions were simple: to corner me against the wall.I stood there and waited for them to get closer. Once they were close enough, I lay flat on the floor and slid between them.The two figures collided head-on.Suddenly, I looked towards the podium and met Luci
Third-Person POVA loud siren rang across the hall, indicating the beginning of the training.Without delay, everyone entered the ring. Most of them were quite confident that they could survive this with ease. After all, they had been training since they were children.Normally, a training session started at an easy level to help participants get into the mood, but here, it was completely different.With a click of the control, Lucivar activated the first attack.Blades, spears, arrows, and stones came flying from different directions.The students were caught off guard, and many of them were injured as the objects struck their shoulders, backs, and, for some unlucky ones, their legs.Blood splashed across the ring as the students fell back from the impact.Even Ravenna wasn't left out. A blade struck her in the waist, and blood seeped from the wound, soaking her clothes.Some people, on the other hand, remained completely unaffected. Perhaps they knew Lucivar too well, or perhaps the
Ravenna's POV"And I'm going to make you regret it, little liar."His words rang in my head as I returned to my position—or more like fled the stage."I told you we shouldn't have run," Xevira muttered in panic."Why do you fold so fast when it comes to him?" I asked Xevira.I knew whatever he was going to do to me would be out of this world. But I was sure he wasn't going to kill me.At least I had to live long enough to feel the regret.By the time I returned to my position, everything that had happened on the stage replayed in my head.The way his finger had brushed against my bare skin in front of so many people. Goddess, I hated his guts.And I hated my body even more for reacting that way. My entire body had tensed at his touch, and my heart had pounded wildly as if it was going to jump out of my chest.It was taking a lot of self-control to remain calm."It must be because of the mate bond," I thought to myself."And it's going to get worse when you bond," Xevira informed me."
Lucivar's POV"Should I repeat myself?" I asked, looking directly into her eyes.She stood there, looking confused, as if her name were some sort of foreign language she couldn't comprehend."She's just shocked. Why would you call her out in a training ground filled with so many students?" Auren complained."Ravenna," I called one more time.Repeating myself was something I didn't usually do."You have five seconds to climb this podium," I said, my gaze still locked on her.She finally seemed to come back to life and dashed toward the stage, arriving in six seconds.She stood before me and bowed in a strange way that somehow allowed her spine to remain straight. Then she said something I wasn't listening to."She said, 'Lycan King,'" Auren pointed out.But I refused to listen. I was more focused on her straight spine."You are one second late," I said.I rested my palm against her back, and it almost covered her entire back.How could someone be that tiny?But that wasn't the focus, s
Ravenna's POV His words caught me by surprise, but it didn't seem like I was the only one shocked. Everyone in the hall gasped in unison. Lycon was being asked to give an apology speech on his knees? He was an Alpha heir and wasn't supposed to bow to anyone, let alone kneel. I looked over at Lucivar to make sure he had actually pointed at Lycon. But he wasn't even pointing. He had only given him a single stare, as if he were calling out a mere servant. The air stood still for a while, everyone waiting for Lycon's reaction. Because for now, he seemed stunned beyond words. After the words finally registered in his head, Lycon cleared his throat. His voice was calm and collected, just as an Alpha should speak. "I am an Alpha heir." Xevira sneered. "Who cares? Get out, go on your knees, and give the damn apology." And I was totally in support of her words. He should go out and get on his damn knees and give the apology. I would love to see him humiliated in front of the whole sch
Ravenna's POV"Are you okay?" Xevira asked softly.Her voice was barely above a whisper.Even she could feel the change inside me.I nodded slowly."I am."My voice sounded calm… but cold.Xevira remained silent for a while before asking,"What do we do now?""We follow their style," I replied, tak

Ravenna's POVThey all pointed at me."Murderer," someone whispered from the crowd.I shook my head desperately."It wasn't me."But no one believed me.After all, my foster parents were the Alpha and Luna of this pack, Iron fang park. Lycon was the future Alpha heir of FrostClow park.They had no
