The academy buzzed with restless energy the moment the instructors announced the first practical combat assessment for all first-year students. For once, the focus would not rest on wolf transformations. Speed, reflexes, intelligence, and hand-to-hand combat would decide everything. The announcement settled something tight in my chest. This might be the only competition where the absence of a wolf would not immediately mark me as less.

  • Claimed By The Wolves; Shadowfang Academy    Chapter 17

    The academy library became increasingly crowded as the week dragged on and students rushed to finish their group assignments before the deadline. Tables were buried under stacks of books, the air thick with the rustle of pages and low, frantic whispers. Since Emma was still catching up on several lessons after recovering from the poisoning, I volunteered to spend the evening helping her study instead of diving straight into the project work.We found a quieter corner near the tall windows and spread out history texts and combat theory notes between us. Emma mixed up famous Alpha Kings with legendary warriors more than once, and every time she did, we both ended up laughing soft, genuine laughter that felt almost foreign after so many tense days. For a little while, I forgot about Isabella, the constant rumours, and even Kael. The simple act of helping a friend made the academy feel lighter.That peaceful evening ended the moment Kael, Rowan, and Adrian arrived.Kael didn’t greet anyon

    The argument started the way most of them did quietly at first, then all at once.We had stayed late in the private study room again, finishing the final sections of the project before the presentation deadline. Emma had already left to return a few books to the library. Adrian had gone to handle some matter with the riding club. Rowan had stepped out briefly to speak with a professor about restricted historical records. That left only Kael and me, the thick silence between us broken only by the occasional turn of a page and the distant sounds of the academy settling into evening.I was reviewing the historical notes one last time, double-checking every citation, when Kael spoke without looking up from his own work. “You corrected the instructor in front of the entire class yesterday. Don’t do it again.” I set the paper down slowly, already feeling the familiar spark of irritation. “I corrected an error. That’s what research is for. Would you have preferred I let the entire class

    A few days after the combat assessment, the academy corridors felt unusually quiet. Most students had disappeared into club recruitment meetings, leaving the halls half-empty and strangely still. The usual rush of voices and footsteps had faded, replaced by a calm that almost felt unnatural. Emma had gone to the healing department to complete some paperwork, so I walked alone with a stack of library books balanced carefully in my arms. The weight of the volumes was comforting after the chaos of the past weeks solid, familiar, and quiet.I decided to take a shortcut through one of the older hallways, hoping to reach the library faster. The corridor was dimly lit, the afternoon sunlight filtering weakly through a few narrow, high windows. Dust motes floated in the thin beams of light. The silence felt heavier here, almost unsettling, as though the older stones remembered things the rest of the academy had forgotten. I paused near a faded tapestry to unfold the academy map Rowan had give

    The academy buzzed with restless energy the moment the instructors announced the first practical combat assessment for all first-year students. For once, the focus would not rest on wolf transformations. Speed, reflexes, intelligence, and hand-to-hand combat would decide everything. The announcement settled something tight in my chest. This might be the only competition where the absence of a wolf would not immediately mark me as less. Emma stood beside me in the corridor, twisting her fingers together so tightly her knuckles turned white. “I’m going to embarrass myself,” she whispered. “I know it. Everyone will see how weak I am.” I turned to her and managed a small, honest smile. “I’m nervous too. I just hide it better. We’ll get through it. One match at a time.”Students crowded around the massive training arena as professors explained the rules. The air smelled of dust, sweat, and polished wood. Isabella walked past with her usual cluster of friends, voice deliberately loud

    The following morning, the academy granted every project group permission to spend the afternoon researching anywhere on campus. I had already planned a quiet session with Emma in the library just the two of us, books spread between us, no sharp voices or cold stares. That hope lasted less than five minutes after combat strategy class ended. Kael stopped the group in the corridor with a single look. “Splitting up will waste time,” he said flatly. “We meet in study room three after the last lecture be there.”He said it with no discussion and no request for opinions. Just an order delivered in that low, dangerous voice that expected immediate compliance. Irritation flared hot in my chest. “You’re not the school’s boss,” I said, keeping my tone even. “You don’t have authority over where I study.” Kael barely glanced at me. “If you refuse to cooperate, you’re free to fail the assignment alone.” Rowan adjusted the books under his arm and spoke calmly. “Organized groups perform

    The embarrassing incident in the canteen became the academy’s biggest topic overnight. By morning, it felt as though every corridor, every classroom, every quiet corner had absorbed the story and decided to repeat it louder than the last. Wherever I walked, the whispers followed like a second shadow. “That’s her the wolfless disgrace who got humiliated by her own sister.” “Did you see how she fell? Food everywhere pathetic.”Some laughed openly when I passed. Others stared with pity so thick it almost felt worse than the mockery. Both reactions made the air feel heavier, the walls closer. My cheeks still burned with the memory of sauce soaking into my uniform, of laughter ringing through the crowded hall, of Isabella’s false concern. The sting hadn’t faded. If anything, it had settled deeper, sharp and constant.But I refused to skip class. I refused to hide in my room. Giving Isabella the satisfaction of seeing me break was something I would never allow. So I walked with my head
