Mine to keep, mine to break 124. The mark
Thane- Alpha King of the Brownclaw packI had learned, over the years, to keep my face still.It was the first thing my father beat into me when I was still nothing more than the spare son—before blood and ash and loss carved a crown into my spine. An Alpha King did not flinch. He did not gape. He did not let memory unseat him in front of foreign courts.And yet my breath stuttered the moment I saw the mark on her neck.The ballroom of Silvermist glittered with too much light, too many voices, too many scents colliding into a blur of power and politics. Gold banners draped from the vaulted ceiling, each bearing sigils of alliance and conquest. Music pulsed beneath my boots, a carefully chosen rhythm meant to impress, to soothe, to bind.I had watched hundreds of women dance over the years. Queens, omegas, nobles bred for diplomacy and heirs bred for war. I had never truly seen one the way I saw her then.She turned in the arms of one of the Rudrah princes—Timothy, I recalled—her laugh
Mine to keep, mine to break 123. May I?
Nalini The first thing I noticed at the ball was the heat.Not the warmth of bodies packed into the grand hall, not the hundreds of candles suspended in floating glass orbs above our heads, but the way the air seemed to tighten around me the moment I stepped inside. It pressed against my lungs like a held breath. Like the room itself knew something fragile had just crossed its threshold.I adjusted the plain fabric of the academy-issued dress at my sides. It was a soft gray, modest, unremarkable—meant to make me blend into the background, meant to remind me of my place. Servant. Omega. Not noble. Not royal. Certainly not someone with two princes orbiting her like moons trapped by gravity.The moonstone pendant rested against my collarbone, warm despite the cool metal chain. Timothy’s gift. I had touched it so many times on the walk here that the stone felt like an extension of my skin now, a quiet anchor against the noise in my head.The ballroom glittered. Gold and obsidian pillars
Mine to keep, mine to break 122. A silent question
Nalini The announcement came two days after the last clash in the arena, when the bruises were still purple on skin and pride still burned hotter than pain.Brownclaw Pack had won.The words spread through the academy like smoke—thick, unavoidable, stinging in places no one liked to admit hurt. Silvermist had fought well. Too well, some said, considering how close the margins were. But Brownclaw’s warriors had been relentless, their discipline frightening in its precision, their unity almost brutal. They did not fracture under pressure. They did not hesitate. They moved like one body with many limbs, and in the end, that had been enough.I heard the announcement from the hallway outside the infirmary, standing with a cup of bitter tea I hadn’t touched. Myron stood a few steps away, jaw tight, hands clenched at his sides. Timothy wasn’t there. I hadn’t seen him since the morning training session, and the absence pulled at me in a quiet, aching way.When the academy bell rang later tha
Mine to keep, mine to break 121. Strategic assault round
Nalini The day of the tournament arrived like a held breath finally released—too fast, too loud, too heavy to escape.I woke before the sun, my body already humming with a nervous energy that felt nothing like excitement. It felt like warning. My wolf stirred restlessly beneath my skin, pacing in slow, uneasy circles, as though she sensed something I did not yet understand. I lay still on the narrow dorm bed, staring at the ceiling while the sounds of the academy came alive outside—boots on stone, distant shouts, the metallic clang of training weapons being hauled into place.Today was not just a competition.It was a reckoning.By the time I dressed and stepped outside, Silvermist Academy no longer felt like the place I had known. Banners hung from the high towers, silver and blue snapping sharply in the morning wind. The air was thick with layered scents—adrenaline, wolf musk, iron, old stone warmed by rising heat. Packs had begun to gather around the arena, voices rough with antic
Mine to keep, mine to break 120. The Alpha Games
Nalini I had volunteered to be a strategist because it felt safer than standing in the arena itself. Or maybe that was a lie I told myself to feel useful without being seen too clearly. Either way, the Academy’s Alpha Games turned the entire grounds into something feral and electric, and there was no hiding anywhere—not even on the strategist’s platform.The morning air had carried iron and dust, the kind that clung to the back of the throat. Wolves paced everywhere in half-shifted states, muscles coiled too tightly beneath skin, eyes glowing faintly with anticipation. The Alpha Games were not a tournament, not officially. They were training. Preparation. But everyone knew what they really were: a display of dominance, control, and restraint—or the lack of it.I stood with a slate pressed to my chest, fingers digging into the wood as if it could anchor me. Below, the field had been divided into zones—forest simulation, urban ruins, open combat ring. Each team rotated through them, te
Mine to keep, mine to break 119. School project
Nalini I felt like I was walking through water when I returned to school.Everything around me looked the same—the stone arches, the banners snapping in the wind, the buzz of voices layered over one another—but I was not the same girl who had walked these halls weeks ago. My body still remembered ropes, darkness, the way fear tasted metallic at the back of my tongue. My wolf lay restless beneath my skin, no longer quiet, no longer small. She stirred at everything now. Sound. Emotion. Proximity.Especially them.I stepped through the academy gates with my bag clutched tight against my side, breathing carefully, deliberately, as if one wrong breath would make me unravel in front of everyone. Students slowed when they saw me. Some stared outright. Others pretended not to, whispering behind cupped hands. News traveled fast in a place like Silvermist—faster when it involved the Rudrah princes and the omega who had disappeared and come back wrong.I hated that word. Wrong.I wasn’t wrong.
