Mira's POVWe were on the bus back home after our time in Ironridge.I sat with my bag between my feet and my forehead almost touching the cold glass of the window. I watched the school building get smaller and smaller as we rode further away.Josh was beside me with his arms folded and his legs stretched as far as the seat in front would allow. We hadn't said a word to each other since we boarded. We were an hour into the ride before he spoke."You're quiet," Josh remarked."I'm always quiet." I shrugged."You look like something is eating you up." He peered at me. "You okay?"I thought about saying yes. It was simpler. Required less effort."No," I revealed."Is it the competition?" he asked."Partly.""The fight you lost? Don't be sad. Top 5 is good.""No." I pulled my gaze from the window. "Josh, I watched shifter after shifter today. Every single one of them. They shifted like it cost them nothing. Like breathing. Like the most natural thing in the world. And I stood there in a

Caden's POVVessa stood close enough that I could feel the warmth coming off her shoulder.I stood straight, looking ahead. I let the instructor complete the ceremony but deep within me, I was somewhere else entirely, thinking about Mira.I'd watched her fight twice from the sidelines. Watched her take hits that would have made others quit. Watched her get pinned, get up, get pinned again and still found something left to work with. She didn't have a shifter's advantage. Just that stubborn, relentless refusal to stay down.She didn’t win the female event, but for an omega, she surpassed my imagination.The instructor wrapped up the crowning ceremony. Vessa touched my arm briefly as we stepped off the platform. Of course, I knew it was intentional. I moved away without acknowledging it. Vessa had always tried to get my attention, but I didn’t have time for her. It’s not that she’s not attractive. I just didn’t see her in a romantic light. So do I see Mira in a romantic light?The qu

Chapter 14 Mira's POVThe second round began right after the first one ended. Caden and I still didn't get the chance to talk. Well, there was a chance to talk but he preferred to stand on the other side of the ring.I went into the ring again and won my next match on pure determination.My opponent was a wolf shifter who fought well, and I spent the first half getting pushed steadily backward. I found her pattern anyway. The slight drop of her right shoulder before a heavy swing. I waited, and when it came, I stepped inside it completely. I wrapped up the match soon after that.Josh came to me afterward. "You're going to give me a heart attack with these fights.""Nah, you're way too young for that. Don't worry about me. I'll be fine."I was until I was to meet Vessa in the ring. I should have been running through strategy. Mentally going through Vessa's previous matches, cataloging her weaknesses.Instead, my eyes found Caden across the ring.He was with his group now. I looked

Chapter 13Mira's POVI joined the throng of students moving to the courtyard. I couldn't stop thinking about Caden. What was he about to tell me before that bell rang? And why did something always come up whenever we were about to have a conversation. At this point, it felt like the universe was trying to sabotage our chances to talking to each other. An instructor was waiting in the courtyard. "It's time for the contest. Form a big circle. I'll call the contestants to the center."We formed a circle and the instructor called the first name. Josh Calloway. I swallowed. I knew Josh was a good fighter, but I couldn't shake off the tension of watching him fight.Josh stepped into the ring and shifted. One moment he was standing at the edge of the circle, and the next, a Bengal tiger was there in his place.His opponent shifted too. He became a saber-toothed kangaroo that was unsettling in the way these hybrid beasts always were.The kangaroo charged first, using its powerful leaps t

Caden's POVI sat on my bed and raised a mug of tea to my lips. Riven was in the bed opposite mine. He had one leg thrown over the bunk, flipping a knife and catching it by the handle. His brown hair had fallen into his eyes again. He hadn't pushed it back. Yesterday had been eventful. I had gotten the brightest light on the orb. Automatic Rank 1. I shook my head as I thought of the Omega girl who got Rank 7. She was just too weak. The mate mark pulsed as I thought of her. "So," Riven said suddenly, not looking up. "You spoke to her yet?""No, not yet."He stopped flipping. Looked at me. "Caden...""I know.""Come on, Caden. It has been days. The mark on your neck is really visible. You cannot keep avoiding this.""I'm not sure this is a good time to talk to her. She failed the resonance test.""Knowing you and her have something special together might help her process the grief.""I'm not sure the bond is correct. There has to be some kind of mistake. An Omega? A weak omega? It

Mira's POVI was still enjoying my sleep when something landed on my bed. I jolted awake, heart lurching. My hand already reached for the blade I kept under my pillow. Then I saw what was on my bed. A black attire packed in a cellophane wrap.What's this?I rubbed up eyes and grabbed the package. The dorm was already alive with movements. Girls were pulling on the same black uniform from the wrapping. I saw them buttoning collars, lacing boots.The energy in the room was different from the regular morning in camp.~What's happening?~I checked my own uniform. Black jacket, fitted. Black pants. The emblem of Ironridge was on stitched the left breast.The redheaded girl in the bed closest to mine was shrugging into her jacket, her back to me. I opened my mouth to ask her what was happening.Then I closed it. I hadn't spoken to her since I came here. I had been too shy to start a conversation. And she just acted as if I didn't exist.It would hurt if I spoke to her now and she just ignor
