LOGIN~Author POVThe training grounds were alive again.Morning light spilled across the wide field, turning the dew on the grass into tiny glimmers of gold. The air was crisp, cool enough to sharpen focus, but not cold enough to slow movement.Perfect conditions.Alice stood at the center of the ring, hands on her hips, golden hair tied back,though several strands had already escaped, framing her face like she had intentionally styled it that way.“I just want to say,” she announced loudly, “that if I win this, it will be very embarrassing for you.”Thorne didn’t even blink.“You haven’t started yet,” he said calmly.“That’s not the point,” Alice replied, already pacing like she owned the ground beneath her feet. “It’s about expectations. And right now? Yours are too high. I’m about to crush them.”“ You said that last week and it didn't go well.”From the sidelines, Iris watched quietly.There was the faintest smile on her lips.Alice had always been like this,bold, expressive, dramatic
~Lucien POVThe fire cracked softly in the hearth, but it did nothing to warm the room.I stood by the window, staring out into the darkened forest beyond the estate. Night had swallowed everything,the trees, the paths, even the distant lights of the training grounds.But not my thoughts.They burned.“That was reckless,” I said finally, my voice low but sharp. “Allowing that child to train so openly.”Behind me, Elder Varis exhaled slowly, the sound measured, controlled. “It was necessary. The boy must learn control.”I turned, eyes narrowing. “Control? You saw what happened. He’s six, Varis. Six. And already his wolf is pushing beyond restraint.”Varis folded his hands behind his back, calm as ever. “And yet… he stopped.”“Barely.”The word came out harsher than I intended.I dragged a hand down my face, pacing now. “You felt it, didn’t you? That surge. That pressure in the air. That wasn
~Iris POVThe evening air smelled faintly of rain and damp grass as we reached the twins’ quarters. Rowan still clutched the stair railing, small hands trembling slightly, wolf energy humming faintly beneath his skin. Alice trailed behind, swinging her arms like she owned the place, golden hair catching the last light.I knelt to Rowan’s level. “You’re safe now, little wolf. The council can’t touch you up here.”He blinked, blue eyes wide. “But… would I be bad, Mom?”The question hung in the air, heavy and honest. My chest tightened. Rowan was six, barely understanding the weight of his powers, yet already questioning morality, responsibility… control.“Bad?” I asked softly. “No, Rowan. You’re not bad. Not because of your wolf, not because of your strength. It’s how you use it that matters.”Alice leaned against the doorframe, smirking. “Don’t listen to him, Rowan. He’s just dramatic. But also… a little scary.”
~Iris POVThe council chamber was colder than I expected, even with the torches flickering along the walls. I entered, still carrying the faint smell of the training field, grass, sweat, and the subtle undercurrent of wolf energy from Rowan’s uncontrolled surge.Duncan was already seated, hands steepled, his jaw tight. Mira Calder stood nearby, silent as always, eyes sharp and alert. The twins were with the bodyguards, Alice in her golden tunic, Eliora watching with wide eyes, and Rowan… nowhere in sight.“Luna,” Elder Varis began, bowing slightly. “We must discuss what happened today. The incident with Master Rowan.”I felt a pulse in my chest. Rowan was six. He was barely bigger than a human child’s hand span, and yet the raw power in him today had been… terrifying.Lucien Moreau’s eyes glinted from across the chamber. “Terrifying?” he spat, voice tight. “Terrifying doesn’t begin to cover it. That child,your White Wolf, your p
~ Rowan POV The training field smelled like wet grass and sunlight. My tiny paws dug into the soft earth as I bounced on the balls of my feet, trying to copy Thorne’s stance. Thorne, of course, didn’t tell me to calm down. He just tilted his head and watched, like he expected me to explode at any second.Alice, my twin, was sitting nearby, twisting the hem of her golden training tunic, looking way too calm. I knew she was just pretending. She wasn’t nervous,she never was,but she liked to make me feel a little bit stressed.“Rowan! Don’t forget your stance!” Thorne called.I huffed and bounced harder. My tail flicked with excitement, though I didn’t even have a proper wolf tail yet. Not that I cared. The wolf inside me throbbed, restless. It had been quiet lately, but today… today it felt like it wanted to get out.Eliora, my sister friend visiting the estate, strutted into the ring. She had silver hair that glittered in the sun and sharp eyes that made me feel like she already knew

~AliceFor the umpteenth time, I called her name, but Iris just kept drinking from the glass she’d taken from the kitchen, eyes fixed on the window like I wasn’t even there.“Iris, please look at me,” I said, the words scraping out of my throat, raw and aching.She set the glass down with a soft cl
~AliceWhy the hell was Iris’s phone with him?My hand started shaking so badly I nearly dropped the phone.My father didn’t even like omegas. He’d never shown interest in anyone after Mom died. And Iris… Iris was mine. She’d always been mine.But the way he’d said “she’s not available”… like he ha
~AliceEvery time I closed my eyes, I saw Iris's face, the shock, the tears, the way she’d slapped me so hard my ears rang.I had to find her. Explain. Beg. Anything.I grabbed my keys and drove straight to Eunice’s private residence on the edge of campus, the sleek modern house my dad let her use
~IrisI didn’t even know what to do. I couldn’t believe what I was seeing.I would have sworn on my life that Alice would never cheat on me.Well… I did. But it doesn’t matter.Sandra stayed on her knees for a second longer, intentionally licking Alice’s release from her fingers like my standing th
