Nalini 

I woke with a scream lodged in my throat and no sound to carry it.

My body jerked upright, lungs burning as though I had been running for miles, fingers clawing at the sheets as if they were the last solid thing in a world that had begun to dissolve. Moonlight spilled through the narrow dorm window in pale ribbons, striping the stone floor and my trembling hands. For a moment, I did not know where I was. My heart beat too fast, too loud, and my skin felt tight, stretched over something that was no longer fully human.

The dream—no, the vision—had ended too suddenly. It felt as though something vast had slammed a door in my face.

I pressed my palm to my chest, then lower, to where my wolf slept—or no longer slept. Heat pulsed beneath my skin, not painful, but insistent, alive. My breaths came uneven as I became aware of it again: the mark.

  • 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

  • Mine to keep, mine to break    150. Flight

    NaliniThe forest stretched before us like a living, breathing thing, its shadows curling and twisting as if testing my resolve. I ran, my wolf surging beneath my skin, muscles coiling with strength I hadn’t known I possessed. Myron and Timothy flanked me, silent but steady, moving with ease and precision that came from years of training—but even they weren’t prepared for the way the energy hummed around me.Branches snapped beneath my feet, leaves brushed against my arms, and the cool night air stung my lungs, yet I felt invincible. My wolf pulsed, every nerve firing, senses sharp enough to catch the faintest rustle of leaves or the subtle vibration of the earth beneath. I realized, in a sudden clarity, that I could feel the forest—every root, every stone, every small movement of life. The forest was no longer just trees and shadows. It was a living map, and my wolf knew it.Myron’s v

  • Mine to keep, mine to break    149. Aware

    NaliniI couldn’t breathe under the weight of the council’s eyes, their whispers, and their demands. They had decided everything for me—how I should live, who I should bond with, and even how my mate bond would be judged. They had made up their minds that I was to be claimed, as if I were some prize to be measured and weighed. My chest ached with fury, and my wolf stirred restlessly beneath my skin, claws digging into the restraint I had tried to hold for so long. I refused. I would not let them decide my fate.By the time the sun had dipped below the horizon, painting the academy in muted golds and purples, I had made my decision. I packed lightly, grabbing only what I needed—water, a small bag of essentials, and the dagger Myron had once given me in case of emergencies. I didn’t think I would need it, but there was a part of me that felt the council would try to stop me before I could slip into the fores

  • Mine to keep, mine to break    148. Tightening restrictions

    NaliniThe morning sunlight spilled weakly through the curtains, and I could already feel the tension thrumming in the air like static. The council had been meeting overnight, I had no doubt, and the first thing I sensed when I opened my eyes was the weight of their scrutiny, pressing down on me even before I left the dorm room. My wolf growled low, a ripple of unease coursing through my body. Something had changed. I could feel it.As I dressed, trying to calm the coils of energy within me, the door clicked softly, and Myron slipped inside before I could stop him. His expression was tense, almost jagged, and my chest tightened at the sight. “They’re tightening restrictions,” he said quietly, eyes scanning the room. “No one can approach you without permission. Not even the other students. The council—King Reuben and the others—they’ve made it clear. We’re… they’re serious thi
