LOGINZane's Point Of ViewThe clone didn't simply vanish. The precise instant that sharp rod of solidified magic pierced his chest, his entire body went rigid, muscles locking as his eyes flew wide in shock. Then… boom. He detonated into thousands of tiny, glowing fragments of silver and gold that scattered through the air like a constellation breaking apart. It resembled a star exploding right there in the middle of the grass, beautiful and terrifying in equal measure. Before I could scramble backward, those fragments refused to fade. Instead, they melted into a thick, shimmering mist that surged straight toward my chest with frightening purpose. "What the…" I gasped as the mist forced its way into my skin, passing through flesh and bone as if my body were nothing more than vapor. It didn't hurt, but the sensation overwhelmed me… like drinking a glass of pure, liquid electricity that set every nerve ending alight. The energy flowed down my arms in rivers of heat, wrapped around my lung
Zane's Point Of ViewMy fist hovered a split second from shattering his nose when the copy's eyes blazed a blinding, radioactive gold. Before my knuckles could connect, the air between our faces hardened into a solid wall of compressed wind. My fist struck the invisible barrier with a dull thwack, the sheer vibration rattling up my elbow and loosening the teeth in my gums. Pain shot through my wrist, sharp and immediate, but I refused to pull back. Stubbornness had always been my greatest strength and my worst weakness. The copy snarled, his voice raw with desperation, "Get off me!" He didn't just push me… he detonated his aura. A shockwave of pure silver Lycan pressure erupted from his skin, slamming into my stomach like a horizontal log. The blast lifted me completely off him, sending me flying backward through the misty garden air.I flipped over twice, disoriented and gasping, the world spinning in a blur of green and gray. My hands scraped blindly through the wet grass until I
Zane's Point Of ViewI spun around so fast I nearly tripped over my own feet, my eyes darting across the unnaturally perfect, misty grass to find the source of that voice. A few yards away, sitting casually beneath the sweeping, luminous branches of a massive willow tree, were Daekan and Fenrir. Daekan had abandoned his human form entirely; he appeared as a towering, shimmering figure wrought from pure golden fire and dark shadows, floating an inch above the ground with his arms crossed in an almost bored posture. Beside him, Fenrir rested in his true form: a massive white wolf with glowing silver eyes, his heavy chin balanced on his paws as though he were watching a tedious movie unfold. I blinked, completely disoriented, and examined my own hands. I patted my chest, my stomach, my thighs, searching for any sign of transparency. Oh, thank God. I wasn't see-through this time. I wasn't that weird, glass-like phantom I'd been when I met the Moon Goddess. Relief flooded through me as
Zane's Point Of View"You'll teach me?" I muttered, dropping the towel onto my lap and staring blankly at the dark floorboards. My mind raced through the logistics, trying to make sense of what they were proposing. "But how? I mean, logistically, how is that even supposed to work? You are literally both stuck inside my chest right now. It's not like you can just step out, grab a wooden sword, and spar with me in the living room." A massive, incredibly heavy sigh echoed through my skull, followed by the mental image of Daekan pinching the bridge of his nose in pure exhaustion. I could practically feel his disappointment radiating through our shared connection. ‘You are truly hopeless, boy,’ Daekan's smooth, elegant voice sneered, the ancient gold light in my core flaring with irritation. 'We might be sharing a physical vessel with you, but that does not mean we are trapped or blind. We are still both completely separate, ancient entities. We are merely tethered to your mortal soul by
Zane's Point Of ViewI attempted to straighten my legs, but the moment I placed real weight on my right ankle, a sharp, blinding pain shot up my leg and detonated in my hip. "Ah!" The gasp tore from my throat as my arms buckled. I crashed back to the ground, my chest slamming into the rough gravel once more. I lay face-down, wheezing like a broken accordion. My lungs burned so fiercely I tasted copper at the back of my throat. The pain overwhelmed everything… a white-hot blanket that smothered rational thought. Every muscle in my body felt twisted by hot pliers, and the dirt beneath my cheek felt cold, inviting. It would be so easy to surrender, to lie here and pretend I'd fainted. To let unconsciousness claim me and drift away from this nightmare of training. But then the vision returned, unbidden and vivid. That purple sky stretching endlessly overhead. The stench of rotting flesh mingling with burning woodsmoke, so real I could almost choke on it. Gray ash settling onto my own d
Zane's Point Of ViewI stood rooted to the spot, my boots feeling as though they'd been glued into the dirt. Battle formation? He wanted a battle formation? My mind went utterly blank. My brain scrambled backward through every defense class I'd ever endured at the Academy, desperately trying to recall how the instructors had positioned us when facing down a giant, terrifyingly powerful werewolf. Slowly, awkwardly, I shifted my weight. I dropped my hips, brought my fists up to shield my face, and spread my feet apart - exactly as we did during the Monday morning spars in the gym. I tried to appear tough, to make my shoulders look broader than they were. The stance felt hollow, performative. Even as I held the pose, doubt crept through my muscles like ice water, freezing my confidence from the inside out. The Alpha didn't even flinch. He simply stared at my stance for three agonizing seconds, his eyes tracking from my raised hands down to my shaky knees. Then he released this massive,
Zane's Point Of View “Then again,” Alisa continued, turning her full focus on Miles, “some of us do have our partners already picked out.”She walked… no, glided across the cobblestone steps until she stood directly in front of him.“Miles,” she said sweetly, her voice sugary poison. “You’re looki

Zane's Point Of View We walked in silence under the soft golden glow of the moonlit lanterns strung across the academy’s courtyard. The infirmary’s white walls disappeared behind us, replaced by creeping ivy, ancient stone archways, and the faint buzz of anticipation rippling through campus ahead
