ARDEN

I gripped my hands to stop them from shaking as we arrived in front of the classroom for our first subject. I couldn’t help it. On our way here, most of the wolves had been talking about the ‘virgin’ who enrolled at the academy.

“Arden, you coming?” Tessa asked, snapping me out of my thoughts.

I nodded and followed after her. The classroom was even better than I had imagined. Or maybe I had just grown accustomed to the worn-out interior of the Hades dorm. It had a new yet antique feel. All the facilities were modern, but the design itself appeared quite classic.

I recognized some familiar faces in the room, although it seemed they didn’t care about my presence. I was thankful for that. My plan to lay low was still in action.

Tessa and I took our seats at the back, both a bundle of nerves. We were about to speak to one another when the door opened and the room fell dead silent.

The scent of fresh laundry mixed with sunlight and a teasing hint of musk invaded my senses as soon as

  • Bonds at War: The Untouched is Mine   Souls at War 95: War is Over (END)

    MINA They said I was the calmest bride they had ever seen.I guess I could see where they were coming from. However, it was only because of one thing. Or, one person. The uncertainties that once kept me awake at night had quietly left my mind. They did not vanish all at once. Elias eased them out gently, filling the empty spaces with certainties instead. I was back to who I was.Just without the cloak shielding me.Standing there, I felt exposed in the best way. Just me, exactly as I was, choosing him without fear.When it was my turn to speak, I wasn’t nervous at all. That surprised me the most.I remembered how I didn’t even think or spoke about the future, how even happiness felt temporary all of the way. Meanwhile, Elias was staring at me with the widest smile on his face. I said my vows clearly.I don’t even know if he comprehended all my words. I spoke about choosing him in every lifetime, about loving him not because he was strong but because he was kind when I needed him t

    ELIAS I was convinced I wasn’t nervous anymore when I stood by the altar, but in reality, I was still so freaking nervous. I didn’t know this was how it would feel. Going against my enemies was far more relaxed than this. Standing here, dressed in ceremonial white, hands clasped so tightly in front of me that my knuckles ached, I felt more vulnerable than I ever had in my entire life.The others were already walking in. One by one. Faces I knew. Faces that had seen me at my worst. Rowan entered first, looking bored and emotional at the same time, which somehow suited him. Abel came next, nodding at me once.Even Aiden was here.That still surprised me.He’d scoffed when I invited him, saying he didn’t think I’d get married so soon. I told him plainly that I wouldn’t give him a chance anyway, and he laughed, clapping my shoulder like it didn’t hurt at all. Maybe he’d hit it off with one of my cousins. Maybe not. Either way, he showed up, and for that, I respected him.The music finall

    ELIASWhen my mom said she would take care of everything about the wedding, she really did. She refused to be one-upped by Cade’s mom or Rowan’s mom, which I found ridiculous because I didn’t even know weddings were a competition. But according to my mom, they absolutely were in a silent war. However, that didn’t matter at this moment. I was so freaking nervous.My hands wouldn’t stop flexing at my sides. I kept rolling my shoulders like that would somehow shake the anxiety loose, but it just sat there with a stuffy feeling in my chest. From down the hall, I could hear giggling. I stepped to the door and tried to listen in on their conversations. “Cade gives the best aftercare,” Arden said. “I think they’re all good with that in a way,” Luna’s voice could be heard through the multitude of voices that agreed. “What’s aftercare?” Mina asked, and they burst into giggles again. Well, it seemed they didn’t sound nervous at all. I scoffed under my breath with a small smile. Between

    MINAWe were seated on the couch—just me, Elias, and his parents, with everyone else having been ushered out. Luna Carmen and Alpha Alfie sat across from us with vague expressions. Then their eyes narrowed in the same way at the same time. It was the first time I felt a little bit threatened in their presence. “Since when,” Luna Carmen asked slowly, “have you been pregnant?”I opened my mouth, but Elias answered before I could. “It was the fruit of when we stayed at the extra house.”“Oh goodness,” Luna Carmen exclaimed, clapping a hand to her chest. “That place really does have some magic.”“Mom,” Elias groaned, already rubbing his temple. “Don’t start.”Alpha Alfie leaned back, crossing his arms. “So all this time,” he said carefully, “you were chasing her away when she was pregnant? Is that what I’m hearing here?”Luna Carmen gasped dramatically. “Oh, my poor grandbaby! And my idiot son!” She turned to Elias. “Do you know how terrible that sounds? Chasing away the mother of your c

    MINA It was already the next day. I woke up feeling strangely exhausted and invigorated all at once. My limbs felt heavy, but my thoughts were soft around the edges, and every time I caught Elias looking at me across the breakfast table, heat crept up my neck and into my cheeks.I kept my eyes stubbornly on my plate.He didn’t even try to hide it. Every time I moved, every time I reached for my cup, I could feel his gaze on me. The memory of last night lingered in my body in ways that made sitting still an active challenge. I cleared my throat and focused harder on buttering my bread.The front door opened.Aiden walked in, appearing even more tired than yesterday. He stopped mid-step when he saw the two of us together at the table. His nose twitched before he inhaled deeply and shook his head. “Bastard,” he muttered, the word clearly directed at Elias. “You filled my house with your scent.” Elias didn’t even bother pretending innocent. He leaned back in his chair, smug as ever, l

    MINAWe lay on the bed, side by side. He was playing with my hair, slowly winding a strand around his finger and then letting it slip free again. We were in the spare room, not Aiden’s bedroom. Whatever beef he had with Aiden didn’t have anything to do with me, and I refused to cross that line even when he asked me earnestly. “I’m sorry,” I said again, the words slipping out before I could stop them.He clicked his tongue softly. “I told you not to apologize,” he said. “Not once in our entire life should you apologize again to me.”I turned my head slightly so I could look at him. His expression was calm, but there was a firmness there too.“What if I’m wrong?” I asked quietly. “What if I say something wrong? Do I not apologize then, too?” “You still don’t have to,” he replied without hesitation.“That doesn’t make sense,” I murmured.He smiled then. “It makes perfect sense to me. Even if you’re wrong, I’ll be the one to apologize.”I stared at him for a long moment, then shook my h
