Feral Hearts Book 1: Awakening the Feral Chapter 18
Caterina stepped to the edge of the training circle like she was settling in to watch a performance.The wolves around the yard shifted subtly, creating space without being told. No one wanted to block her view.I could feel her gaze on me.Sharp. Curious. Measuring.Like she was deciding whether I was a problem... or simply entertainment.Aaron noticed it too.I saw the moment his shoulders tightened."Controlled spar," he said quietly, eyes locking on mine. "And you stop if I tell you to.""Relax," I muttered.His jaw flexed."Xavier.""I said relax."He exhaled slowly through his nose.That was the look of a man making a very deliberate choice not to strangle me."Fine," he said at last. "Show me."That was all the invitation I needed.I moved first.Faster this time then the first time we sparred.My fist snapped toward his ribs. Aaron blocked it cleanly and pivoted, redirecting my momentum."Too aggressive," he muttered.I swung again.Harder.Aaron deflected the strike and stepp

Aaron sighed again, but this time it came out sounding like I was personally responsible for every bad decision he had ever made."Again."I wiped the back of my hand across my mouth, tasting sweat and a little blood where I had bitten my lip earlier. The training yard smelled like dirt, pine, and the faint metallic tang of old fights. Wolves circled the edges of the field, pretending not to watch.They were definitely watching.Aaron stood a few feet in front of me, arms crossed over his chest, looking infuriatingly composed while I felt like my ribs were trying to file for divorce from the rest of my body."You're dropping your left shoulder," he said."I'm not.""You are.""I'm literally not."His dark eyebrow lifted slowly, the expression sharp and unimpressed in a way that made something in my stomach twist.God, I hated when he did that."Xavier," he said calmly, "if you argue with me every time I correct you, this training will take twice as long.""Maybe your corrections are j

I don't remember falling asleep.At some point the shaking stopped. At some point the pain dulled enough for exhaustion to drag me under. When I wake, it's to sunlight cutting across the floor. Across the splintered wood. Across the gouges my hands carved into the boards. For a long moment I just stare at it. It wasn't a dream. The cabin smells wrong.Metallic.Sharp.Like something wild pressed too close to the surface.My ribs ache when I sit up. Deep. Bruised from the inside. I press my palm against them and hiss in pain. No visible marks anymore other than my scar. The graze from a hunter's bullet. If my wolf was cooperating with me properly, I would've healed within the hour of receiving the wound but without my wolf and I being properly connected, my healing was more similar to a human child. Still faster than the average adult human but not wolf fast. A knock hits the door. Too cheerful. Too early."Xavier?"Elias.I close my eyes briefly.Of course."Yeah," I call out, voice

I don't go back to the main paths. I don't want eyes on me. I don't want whispers. I don't want Elias trying to joke it away or Ronan watching like I'm a ticking bomb.By the time I reach my cabin, the anger has burned down into something worse.nShame. Aaron's words replay in my head like a curse.You embarrassed me.You lost control.You are something I have to control.My hand shakes when I unlock the door. The cabin is small. Quiet. Still holding the faint scent of pine and smoke and the pack. I shut the door harder than I mean to. The wood rattles in its frame. I stand there for a long moment. Breathing.Too fast.Too shallow.The silence presses in on me. And underneath it—nThe hum Louder tonight.Not a murmur.Not distant.Right beneath my skin."You want control?" I mutter to the empty room. "Fine."I strip off my shirt, drop it to the floor. My chest rises and falls sharply."If you're going to wake up, then wake up."The words feel reckless the second I say them. My wolf sti

Training does not recover. It continues, but it definitely does not recover. Every spar after mine just feels wrong. Overly measured. Overly careful. Like they're testing the air for lightning or like one misstep will have Aaron throwing them off a cliff. No one pairs with me aggressively after that either. Not even Ronan. He rotates when ordered, but he doesn't push again. He watches. They all watch. And every time Aaron moves across the grounds, I feel it. Like a pull. Like the air tightens around him and then relaxes when he passes.I hate it.I hate that my body tracks him without permission. I hate that when he corrects someone else's stance, irritation spikes through me like jealousy.Jealousy.At what?He's their Alpha, for fuck's sake. He touches everyone. He commands everyone. So why does it feel like something was stolen from me when his hand left my shoulder?By the time training is dismissed, the tension hasn't eased. It's only condensed. Aaron gives out some final instru

Ronan moves first.Fast.Cleaner than I expected.He doesn't circle — he lunges.I barely pivot in time, his shoulder slamming into mine instead of my chest—the impact jars through my bones. The pack noise rises instantly — not cheering, not yet — but alert.Testing.Ronan recovers smoothly."Too slow," he mutters.My wolf snaps against my ribs, fighting some unknown wall, wanting to shift and take control but unable to.I reset my stance.He comes again.This time I meet him. Our forearms clash. Dirt sprays beneath our shoes as we strain, muscle against muscle, some splashing across my check and snowy white albino hair. He's strong. Older. Experienced. But I'm not weak. Injured and healing, yes but weak? Fuck no. I twist, break contact, sweep low. He stumbles — not down, but close. A few wolves murmur and I can feel the excitement growing in the surrounding air.Ronan's eyes sharpen. "Better."Then, lower—"But it seems you still need to be carried."The words hit harder than the sho
