Nalini 

I stopped sleeping the way normal wolves slept.

Sleep used to come like a soft tide—heavy, dull, dreamless. Now it came in fragments, shards of moonlight cutting through darkness, voices brushing the inside of my skull like fingers testing glass. When I closed my eyes, I no longer rested. I descended.

The first night it happened, I thought I was dying.

I lay on the narrow dorm bed the council had confined me to, the air thick with warding sigils etched into the walls. They glowed faintly silver, meant to suppress power, meant to keep me contained. I could feel them pressing against my skin, against something deeper, like hands trying to hold down a rising tide.

My chest burned.

It wasn’t pain exactly. It was expansion. A stretching so intense it made my bones ache, my breath hitch. I curled onto my side, pressing my palms to my ribs as if I could

  • Mine to keep, mine to break    156. Wolf's awakening

    NaliniThe first sign came as a tremor through my bond, subtle at first, a prickling unease that crawled beneath my skin. My wolf hissed low in warning, ears flattened, teeth bared, and my chest tightened. I could sense them before I saw them, a shadow in the corridor outside my window, a pulse of energy that didn’t belong—cold, sharp, precise. Someone was here, and they weren’t coming for a chat.I froze, heart hammering in my chest. Myron was asleep beside me, his body still radiating warmth and gold-tinged energy even in rest, and Timothy’s presence hummed at the edges of the bond, calm but taut with anticipation. Both of them were alert through the bond, but they didn’t know where the threat was—yet.“Something’s coming,” I whispered, voice trembling, barely audible. My wolf growled, a low vibration that rattled the floor beneath me. The hair on my arms and

  • Mine to keep, mine to break    155. Three of us

    NaliniThe moment the intruder retreated, the room didn’t feel safe anymore. Myron’s golden aura still hummed around me, urgent and protective, and Timothy’s precise, controlled energy was a steadying presence, but my chest felt tight, like a cage had been closed around my ribs. The wolf beneath my skin growled, restless, warning me that this was far from over.“They’re not gone,” Myron muttered, voice low and tense, his hand lingering near mine, as if he could physically shield me from the threat. His eyes were sharp, unyielding, and yet there was a flicker of fear I hadn’t seen before. “They’ll come back. They’re not just some petty assassin—they’re targeting you… targeting us through you.”I shivered. “Why me?” I whispered. “What do they want? My bond… my power… why?” My voice cracked, a tre

  • Mine to keep, mine to break    154. Ready

    NaliniThe night was heavy with stillness, but I could feel it—subtle vibrations in the air that made every hair on my skin rise. My wolf prowled beneath my calm exterior, restless and alert. I wasn’t alone. I could feel Myron before I saw him, golden heat radiating through our bond like wildfire. And then Timothy, sharp and controlled, his presence a steady anchor that pulsed in counterpoint to Myron’s storm. Both of them were here, tracking me, shielding me, preparing to intercept the danger I had felt earlier.I hadn’t dared to leave the dorm after what had happened earlier. Even moving to the window had made my skin prickle with unease. But now, with their presence closing in, I felt a rush of relief that was tangled with guilt. Both of them were risking everything—the council’s orders, their own standing—to be here for me. My wolf thrummed in warning and gratitude.A s

  • Mine to keep, mine to break    153. Beacon

    NaliniThe night had settled over the Academy like a heavy velvet curtain, and the silence should have been comforting. Instead, it hummed with a subtle wrongness, a tension that made my wolf bristle beneath my skin. I couldn’t shake the feeling that I was being watched—not just observed, but hunted. My bond with Myron and Timothy pulsed like a beacon, a constant, unignorable signal of my presence and power. And someone, I realized with a jolt, was feeding on it.I had been sitting in my dorm, sketching notes for the Trial of Fate, trying to organize my thoughts, when a strange chill washed over me. It wasn’t the cool night air—it was deeper, more insidious. My wolf growled softly in warning, ears twitching beneath my skin, sensing a presence I couldn’t see.“Who’s there?” I whispered, voice trembling despite my efforts to stay calm. The room remained empty, shadows s

  • Mine to keep, mine to break    152. Complications

    NaliniThe moment I stepped back into the Academy, I felt the shift in the air immediately. Whispers, stifled gasps, and sharp glances met me at every corner. My wolf hummed beneath my skin, restless and alert, responding to every flicker of unease in the humans and wolves around me. The forest encounter—the shadow, the energy, the pulse of the Moon Goddess inside me—had left its mark. I could feel it, buzzing in every nerve, making the council’s scrutiny feel like a physical weight pressing down on me.“You’re late.”The headmistress’s voice cut through the murmur of the hallway. Cold, precise, but with an edge of concern I couldn’t read. My wolf flinched at her tone, as though it could sense the tension beneath her composed exterior. “There are… complications,” I said carefully, trying to keep my voice steady. My pulse raced&mdash

  • Mine to keep, mine to break    151. A mistake

    NaliniThe forest fell eerily silent after the shadow’s retreat, but the tension lingered like smoke in the air. My wolf bristled constantly beneath my skin, alert to every whisper of movement. Myron and Timothy flanked me, their presence solid anchors against the storm of energy swirling in me. I could feel it—the pulse of the Moon Goddess threading through my veins, humming beneath the surface, impatient and powerful.“I know it’s still here,” I whispered, my voice trembling but firm. The bond thrummed in response, Myron’s frustration and Timothy’s fierce calm feeding into my wolf, making me sharper, faster, almost untouchable. “It’s watching, waiting for a mistake.”Myron’s jaw clenched. “Then we don’t give it one. Stay close.” His hand brushed mine briefly, a grounding reminder that no matter what came next, we faced it together
