Nalini

Minutes later, I walked to my first class holding a map and a list of classes I'd attend this year, which was given to me by the lady I met at the administrative block. Thank the goddess she was cooperative.

I entered with my heart in my stomach.  Thankfully, I arrived before the teacher did and the class wasn't full since it was one of my majors, not a general class.

I noticed the glares I got from wolves of higher ranks and it made me want to dissappear into thin air. But a boy from the back corner of the class beckoned me right on time and I let out a relieved sigh as I went to sit next to him.

"This is where omegas sit" the boy said.

I wasn't surprised. The discrimination was so obvious. "Thanks" I mumbled.

The teacher entered shortly after and the class began. The first class was on lycanthropic anatomy.

It flowed well and so did other classes. I had two general classes, two majors and one elective class. We finished up by 2.40 in the afternoon and I needed to be home by exactly 3.30 pm or face Selene's wrath.

I didn't want that so I headed straight to my locker, using the map I was given.

Once I opened my locker, I saw some notebooks, a uniform and a stationary set and it made my eyes sting with emotion.

I couldn't believe I was in an actual school for the first time in my life!

I snapped out of my reverie when someone slammed my locker shut in my face.

I turned to see Julie with a huge smirk on her lips and two girls standing behind her.

"Hey, Nalini" she said, crowding my space. "How was your first day at school?"

I knew she didn't care to know. It was all fake concern. Julie had been my bully since childhood. Sometimes it felt like her and mistress Selene were created just to maltreat me.

"It was good" I replied quickly

"Well, I know what can make it better" she said. "My boyfriend, alpha prince Myron is bored. And I don't like to see him like that so I suggested that I bring one of the omegas to entertain him and to my surprise, he was down with it!"

Wait, what? She couldn't mean what she just said! I met her gaze to check if she was joking. She wasn't.

Her lips curved into a smirk as she signalled the girls with her and they both grabbed me.

"No Julie, I can't go. Please don't make me go" I said as I struggled against them.

"It's the soon to be alpha's orders" she chirped. "Would you disobey your alpha?"

How many alpha princes were there, by the way? I thought Timothy was the only one!

"Julie, I have to be home by 3.30 pm. Your mother will punish me if I'm a minute late!" I said in a frantic tone as I struggled to break free.

She brought her face closer to mine and stared at me with eyes that made me think she was going to consider letting me go. But I was wrong. It wouldn't be Julie if she wasn't making my life a living hell!

"I think you're mistaking me for someone who cares" she hissed.

"Girls, take her away!"

My pleas and struggles against them were wasted. Julie and her minions dragged me outside to the feild.

"Baby" she said. "I've got an omega for you to do with her whatever you want"

Then her minions threw me on the ground like a ragdoll. There were three boys present. Two stood and one sat down. The one I guessed was Alpha prince Myron.

I looked up and gasped. He was perfectly sculpted, like a masterpiece of the Moon Goddess herself. His black hair was a mass of curls, his lips were sinful, his features were chiseled, and his arms were inky with tattoos and rippling with muscle. He was the type of guy mothers warned their daughters about. I couldn't believe someone who looked so beautiful could be such a bully.

"Babe, what should we do with her?" Julie asked as she sat on his lap.

All the while, his gaze was on me. His cold, piercing gaze which roved all over my body, leaving a trail of goosebumps.

"She looks clean" he said in a low, full voice. "Let's soil her a little bit"

My heart began beating in fierce palpitations. What did he mean by that?

Goddess, why did my first day at school have to be like this? Why couldn't I have a  moments peace? Was I a magnet for bullies?

His gaze was still on me but I knew he was talking to Julie. "Put on some music, let her do a striptease"

They all broke into raucous laughter and made mocking sounds.

What? I felt breathless, like I'd run two miles.

So called alpha prince must be joking because there was no way in hell I was going to do that!

The music started and my blood heated up in rage.

My gaze clashed with his and I was sure he felt the defiance radiating from me. My feet were rooted in one spot.

"You have ten seconds, omega!" He spat. "Get on with it or I'll make you!"

Chills ran down my spine from his threat but I refused to let it show. I kept staring, hatred evident on my features.

He signalled his boys and they rushed to me and began harassing me.

"Don't be like that, little omega, give us a little tease..." one of them said in a tone that made my skin crawl.

Julie and her minions cackled, pulled out their phones and began videoing.

My rage from earlier melted into fear as I struggled to prevent them from ripping open my uniform.

"Please don't do this..." I begged, my voice trembling. I felt the tears coming...

Then I heard a low growl. I wasn't the only one who heard it though, the boys stopped harassing me and turned to see who it was.

"Let her go this instant unless you want your heads severed from your body"

I looked to see who it was.

  • 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.

  • Mine to keep, mine to break    118. The bond is dangerous

    Timothy She seemed smaller than the Nalini I’d seen in my dream, more human, more fragile. There were faint shadows under her eyes, like sleep hadn’t been kind to her lately. She wore one of Myron’s sweaters, the sleeves too long for her arms, the scent of him wrapped around her.The sight hurt more than I expected.But fear pushed past it.“I need to talk to you,” I said. My voice came out rougher than I intended. “Now.”Something in my tone must have warned her, because she didn’t argue. She nodded and led me further inside, sitting across from me on the couch. She folded her hands in her lap, waiting.That patience nearly broke me.I dragged a hand through my hair and exhaled slowly. “I had a dream.”Her brow furrowed. “A dream?”“It wasn’t just a dream,” I said. “It was… a vision. Or something close to it.”The bond stirred between us at my words, tightening slightly, like it recognized the truth even before she did.I leaned forward, elbows on my knees. “I saw you. And Myron. An

  • Mine to keep, mine to break    117. The dream that wouldn't let me go

    Timothy I woke up choking on my own breath.For a few long seconds, I didn’t know where I was—only that my chest burned like something had clawed its way out of me and left scars behind. The sheets were twisted around my legs, damp with sweat, my hands shaking as if I had just come back from a fight I hadn’t finished.The dream clung to me.Not the vague kind that faded the moment consciousness returned, but the kind that rooted itself deep in the bones. The kind wolves remembered.In it, I stood in a place that didn’t exist anywhere on our maps—a vast white expanse beneath a sky split down the middle. Two moons hung above me instead of one, one silver and whole, the other cracked straight through the center like it had been struck by divine fury. Their light bled into each other, twisting, colliding.Between them stood Nalini.She didn’t look hurt. That was the worst part. She looked calm, glowing faintly, her wolf half-visible beneath her skin like starlight trapped in flesh. Two b

  • Mine to keep, mine to break    116. What the goddess wants from us

    Myron I had always known danger wore a hundred faces, but I had never imagined one of them would be fear sitting quietly in Nalini’s eyes.She told me everything in a rush at first, words tripping over themselves, her hands clenched in the fabric of my shirt as if letting go would send her tumbling into something bottomless. Then she slowed, breath hitching, and forced herself to explain again—properly this time. Selene. Julie. The way their voices had dropped when they thought no one was listening. The words contamination and royal bloodline whispered like curses instead of concerns. The intent beneath them sharp enough to cut.I listened without interrupting, even though my wolf was already pacing, snarling, slamming itself against the inside of my ribs. Every instinct I possessed demanded blood, demanded protection, demanded I lock her away somewhere no one could ever reach her again. But I stayed still. I let her speak. I let her finish.When she was done, silence settled between

  • Mine to keep, mine to break    115. Contaminated bloodline

    Nalini I had not planned to stay long.That was the lie I told myself as I stepped onto the familiar gravel path leading to the house that had never truly been mine. The air around it still smelled the same—old pine, damp earth, and something sour beneath it, like resentment that had soaked too deep into the walls to ever be scrubbed out. Myron had protested when I told him I needed to come. He had tried to hide it behind concern, behind logic, but I felt the tension coil in him the moment the words left my mouth.“I’ll be quick,” I had promised, pressing my palm to his chest, feeling the steady, grounding beat of his heart. “I just need a few things. Clothes. My books. I can’t keep borrowing yours.”He had looked at me for a long second, his jaw tight, eyes dark with something close to fear. “You don’t owe that place anything,” he had said quietly.Maybe not. But I owed myself closure. Or at least, that was what I thought.The front door creaked when I pushed it open, the sound cutt
