ARDENHis words still echoed in the small room.“You’re way too beautiful right now to resist.”I didn’t even have time to respond.My fingers bunched in his towel, holding onto him. “Cade,” I muttered against his lips, pulling back just slightly. “There are no cameras.” “It’s not for points,” he murmured between kisses, his forehead resting against mine. Something inside me cracked open, and I pressed my lips back to his like I’d been waiting all this time. My arms wrapped around his neck, his wrapped around my waist. His hands were rough, but gentle. In a stranger’s house, with a guy I was sure I couldn’t stand when we first met; now, here I was—holding onto him like he was the only warmth left in the world.I knew it didn’t make sense.I shouldn’t be doing this.But I couldn’t help it.Not when he looked at me like I mattered. Not when he’d jumped into freezing water and carried me out without hesitation. Not when he whispered “I’m here” like it was a promise he’d always keep.

ARDENThe water didn’t feel so cold anymore. I was floating on it like it weren’t the very thing I had once feared most. I didn’t even realize how far I had come until Cade let out a soft chuckle behind me. “What?” I asked, turning my head over my shoulder to look at him. “You’re doing it.” “Doing what?” “Swimming.” I paused mid-paddle; the motion felt so natural now that it didn’t even register in my senses. I had pushed through the lake without clinging to him, without hyperventilating or freezing up. The fear that had once paralyzed me was... gone. Or, maybe not entirely erased—but drowned out by something undeniably stronger. By him. I turned around, floating gently toward him. The moonlight caught the angles of his face, casting shadows across his cheekbones and highlighting the water that dripped from his jaw. “I guess I am,” I whispered. A small smile appeared on his lips. “I told you I wouldn’t let you drown.” That warm flutter returned to my chest, filling me with a

ARDENI blinked my eyes open. Pain immediately flared across my shoulder blades and thighs. My arms felt as though I had used them to wrestle the ground itself. I tasted dirt. My head throbbed, and my lips were dry. It was so, so dark.I groaned, pushing myself up from the forest floor, my body screaming in protest. I’d definitely rolled down the cliff—probably hitting every root, rock, and regret along the way. But I was alive.Thank the Goddess for my wolf genes—because without them, I probably would’ve cracked my skull open and been left for dead. I blinked again, slowly adjusting to the lack of light. Another benefit of being a shifter was my night vision. Well, sort of. It wasn’t perfect, but it still allowed me to make out faint shapes and silhouettes around me. What the hell was this place?I looked up, but the cliff edge was nowhere in sight. I must have tumbled really far. My hand instinctively moved to my ribs, wincing at the sharp jab of pain that shot through me. Yeah. D
Bonds at War: The Untouched is Mine Chapter 66: Gone Again
TESSAI didn’t know how long I had been there. The lake lay still before me, dark as a sheet of glass, reflecting the rising moon and the gold-streaked sky above it before the last traces of light completely vanished. My eyes were puffy—perhaps even a shade of red. I had cried for far too long, and here I was, reduced to this state. A small chuckle escaped my lips as I caught a glimpse of my reflection in the darkening waters. My eyes looked like they had been devoured by a hundred cockroaches. However, that fleeting amusement faded quickly when I remembered the situation I was in.If I told Arden about all this, maybe I wouldn’t feel so impossibly lonely. Maybe she’d say something that would make everything feel normal again. She was the only one who could do that, the one who wouldn’t look at me with either pity or confusion.Nobody knew what had really happened—not even Rowan. Only my older sister was aware of the details, and even then, it wasn’t the whole story. I stayed beside

As the sun dipped below the horizon, Tessa still hadn’t returned.“Everyone, we’re about to have dinner!” Mr. Thompson’s voice boomed across the campsite. “Please head to the clearing for the food!” The aroma of roasted meat wafted through the air, melding with the earthy dampness that accompanied the coming night. I remained rooted in place, scanning the trees and cabins. Students began drifting toward the clearing in pairs and groups, laughter and conversation resonating across the grounds. Yet, there was still no indication of her whereabouts.“Have you seen Tessa?” I inquired of some students who passed by. “Nope,” one replied distractedly. I bit my lip and turned away, only to bump directly into someone’s chest.“Woah,” Cade muttered, steadying me with his hand. “Where are you rushing off to?” “I was looking for Tessa.” I let out a deep, frustrated breath. “Since the battle, I haven’t seen her.” Cade’s brows furrowed in concern. “She hasn’t come back?” “No.” He paused m

ARDENSienna had left after our battle, appearing utterly humiliated. I felt on top of the world, knowing that she was finally getting what she deserved. Tessa nudged me gently. “You did good,” she whispered. “Thanks,” I whispered back before refocusing my attention on the battle area. The second match concluded with the East’s triumph, closely followed by the South. The North representative stumbled on his own paws, resulting in a mere single point surplus. This meant it all came down to the last battle. Whichever team wins here will claim victory. There was a noticeable increase in excitement in the air. The sky above us wasn’t as intense anymore, but it still felt hotter than usual, wrapping us in a thick layer of anticipation. “All four True Alphas,” Sir Thompson declared, stepping into the center of the stone square, “will now engage in a non-lethal battle of dominance.” “Remember,” Miss Loveson called from the edge, “this is just for fun. Do not break bones. We’ve just fi
