登入DARREN’S POVThe moment Zana ran down the corridor, the air she left behind still carried her scent.My wolf recognized it instantly. She smelled like wild jasmine.“Mine” my wolf growled.My chest rose heavily as I stared after her disappearing figure, but another scent slammed into me almost immediately. I could feel Ken’s anger radiating off him. His scent was filled with anger and dominance.I looked at him. The expression on his face was a murderous one.The aura coming from him was too strong. The entire hallway felt too small for both of us. Ken stood a few feet away from me, breathing hard. His jaw was tight enough to crack bone. One of his hands flexed slowly at his side like he was fighting the urge to shift completely. His wolf scent filled the corridor aggressively, and mine answered instantly.For a few seconds, neither of us spoke. We just stood there, staring at each other.But silence between alpha wolves was never peaceful - It was always dangerous.“You touched her
ZANA’S POVThe growl froze the air around us instantly.Every muscle in my body tightened as Ken slowly lifted his head from mine. His hand was still resting against my waist, his body still pressed close enough for me to feel the heat pouring off him. But the moment that sound echoed through the corridor, everything changed.My wolf immediately became alert inside me.Danger.Dominance.Alpha.I turned my head slowly toward the end of the hallway.Darren stood there.The moonlight coming through the tall windows cast silver shadows across his face, but it did nothing to hide the fury burning in his eyes. His gaze immediately locked onto Ken’s hand on my body. I watched Darren’s jaw tighten so hard it looked painful.His wolf surfaced instantly.Violent.Possessive.Furious.The entire hallway suddenly felt colder and hotter at the same time. Dominant alpha energy rolled off both brothers so heavily that it became difficult to breathe normally. Even my wolf shifted uneasily beneath my
ZANA’S POVAfter leaving Aisha’s room, I froze in the middle of the corridor.My wolf lifted her head instantly inside me and growled low in warning. The academy hallway was dark and silent at this hour, lit only by pale moonlight pouring through the tall windows beside the stone arches. The cold night air brushed against my skin, but it was not the cold that made my heartbeat suddenly quicken. It was the scent drifting through the corridor.Wolf.Male.Strong.Familiar.I slowly turned my head toward the darker end of the hallway. My pulse immediately sped up because deep down, I already knew who it was before he even moved. My wolf became restless beneath my skin, pacing sharply inside me.Then he stepped out of the shadows.Ken.He leaned lazily against the stone wall with his arms crossed over his chest, watching me with those cold unreadable eyes that always made my stomach tighten. His expression looked calm on the surface, but his wolf was not calm at all. I could feel it. Domi
ZANA’S POVI spent hours replaying everything that had happened, and no matter how many times I went through it, it did not hurt any less. The cafeteria scene burned in my mind like a wound that refused to close. I could still hear the laughter, the whispers, the way everyone had looked at me like I was something dirty and entertaining at the same time. Every word Aisha had said cut deeper the more I remembered it. It was not just what she said—it was how easily she said it, like she had been waiting for the moment to destroy me.The whispers had not stopped after that. They followed me through the halls, through training grounds, even into silence. I could feel eyes on me wherever I went, feel judgment crawling over my skin like something alive. Some people looked at me with curiosity, others with admiration, but too many looked at me with doubt and amusement. It made my chest feel tight, like I was being slowly suffocated by something I could not fight directly.Inside me, my wolf w
(AISHA’S POV)I had never felt humiliation like that before.It burned under my skin like poison, spreading slowly and refusing to fade no matter how hard I tried to push it down. The moment replayed in my head again and again—Zana standing there, defiant, unshaken, while I stood in front of everyone and lost control. Worse, the princes had taken her side. Not just one of them. Both of them.My hands curled into fists at my sides as I walked quickly through the dark corridor, my heels echoing sharply against the stone floor. My wolf paced inside me, restless and furious, her growls low and constant. She hated this. She hated being made to feel small. She hated Zana even more.“She embarrassed us,” my wolf snarled.I swallowed hard, trying to steady my breathing. “She thinks she’s better now,” I muttered under my breath. “She thinks she’s above us.”But deep down, something twisted painfully in my chest.Because I knew Zana.I knew where she came from. I knew what she had been. And I k
(DARREN’S POV)I was losing control.There was no clean way to describe it, no noble way to dress it up. Every time I saw her with him—with Caden—something inside me twisted so violently it felt like my ribs were cracking from the inside. My wolf had stopped being patient days ago. He paced constantly now, restless and furious, claws scraping against the edges of my control like he wanted out.And the worst part?I could still feel her.Even across a crowded room, across the training fields, across walls and distance, something in me always knew where Zana was. It wasn’t just attraction anymore. It wasn’t just curiosity. It was something deeper, sharper, more dangerous—and I hated that I didn’t understand it.I hated that I couldn’t stop it.The image of her kissing Caden replayed in my head like a curse. Her hands on him. Her lips on his. The way she had looked at him like he mattered.It made my wolf snarl.“She’s not his,” he growled inside me.I clenched my jaw, gripping the edge
