VENUS

Rowan stares at me in shock and his brows draw together. “What?”

I scoff and look away. “I don’t need your charity or your protection.”

Rowan narrows his eyes at me. “Really? I saw how well you were faring when I didn’t step in.”

I clench my fist. “I can protect myself,” I bite out, my voice trembling despite my best efforts. “I would’ve found a way.”

He lets out a humorless smirk. “I don’t go with probabilities, Venus. You’re stupid if you think you could’ve escaped that.” His tone drips with disdain.

He reaches out and grabs my wrist. He lifts it, and shows me the deep red mark formed on my skin.

I stare at it in shock. I hadn’t realized how bad it looked. I’d been too focused on not breaking down and suppressing the pain I felt after those guards tried to assault me.

“Even if they let you live, do you have any idea what those scoundrels would’ve done to you? They would’ve raped you.”

My throat tightens as I swallow back the lump at his unfiltered, harsh words. Tears fill m

:) What do you think will be Venus's reaction?

    VENUSI take a slow breath and look at Rowan. “It was Mallory,” I mutter, pressing my lips in concern. “She’s the one who let those wolves into the pack. One of them was a white wolf.”His expression hardens instantly. “You do not need to worry about that,” he assures me. “I am already investigating this.”I shake my head. “We are all in this together. No matter what you say, Mallory has it out for me now. She knows I’m suspicious of her.”He frowns. “How is that possible?”I hesitate, then decide there is no point hiding it. “Before everyone arrived, I confronted her in the woods. She was hiding and watching me. I didn’t have a choice.”Rowan exhales and runs a hand through his face. His eyes turn cold, sharp, like he is piecing together a puzzle I cannot see.“You need to be more careful,” he warns me. “If Mallory knows, that means you will be watched.”“I know,” I reply, nodding my head. “But you won’t have to deal with that.”He smirks slightly, as if he knows something he is not

    VENUSA massive white rogue wolf pins me down, jaws dripping with blood. Its claws dig into my shoulder, cutting deep, fire erupts across my skin, sharp and tearing. The pain is so intense I almost black out.No. No, no, no.If I pass out now, I’m dead.I gasp, trying to push it off, but its weight is overwhelming, crushing the air from my lungs. My vision blurs. My heart pounds too fast. I feel dizzy.This pain is too much… I’m losing…Then, something inside me snaps.A surge of hot, electric energy floods my veins, stronger than before, almost feral.I take a shaky breath. Focus. I must control it. Channel it.The world slows. The wolf snarls, lowering its jaws toward my throat. My eyes burn. A blue glow fills my vision.Energy bursts outward through my skin like a shockwave.The white wolf is thrown off me, slamming into a tree so hard the trunk splits. It doesn’t get up.It’s dead. I stare at its still body, chest heaving, my hands trembling.My palms tingle with that same electr

    VENUSOne of the rogues breaks away from the chaos and lunges toward the injured couple. “No!” I sprint toward them instinctively.I shove the man and woman aside just as the wolf crashes into me. Its claws rake across my side, burning fire through my ribs. Pain explodes in my body, sharp and blinding, but I refuse to fall.I slam my elbow into the wolf’s snout. It snarls, snapping at my throat, but I twist out of reach and shove my forearm against its jaw, forcing its teeth away. My other hand glows with that strange power, and I slam it into its chest.The wolf flies backward with a yelp.“Run!” I shout at the couple. My voice breaks, but they don’t waste a second. They stumble to their feet and sprint toward the opposite direction.Two other rogues notice them fleeing. They pivot sharply, their ears flattening, teeth bared and chase after the couple.“Oh no you don’t.”I growl and force myself forward.I expect the pain in my side to slow me down, but instead my speed surges.My le

    VENUSIt feels heavy. Wrong. Like the forest suddenly exhaled something cold and alive against my skin. I stare into the trees to my right, pulse spiking.Olivia notices my change in expression. “What’s the matter?” she asks, exasperated. “We need to keep moving or other groups will get the batches first.” she reminds me. “I know,” I whisper, but the sensation crawls up my spine. I decide to ignore this feeling. I walk ahead with her but then the feeling keeps growing and growing until I just can’t ignore it. I stop in my tracks. Olivia turns to me with confusion. “What now?” There’s annoyance in her voice. “It’s just… something’s out there. Something bad.”Olivia turns toward me fully, annoyance tightening her jaw. “And how exactly do you know that?”“I don’t,” I admit. “But I can sense it.”She rolls her eyes. “We all sense things. Doesn’t mean we stop the whole hunt for it.”“It’s not like that,” I insist. “It’s too strong to ignore.”Olivia throws her hands up. “Venus, I don’t

    VENUSShe jolts like I slapped her. Her eyes widen before she quickly blinks it away.“I’m fine,” she says quickly. She’s lying. I can feel it.But with the forest swallowing the light and the hunt already begun… I decide not to push.We move deeper into the forest, where the light barely reaches the ground. Shadows hang thick between the trees and every sound feels amplified. My senses keep sharpening in ways I don’t understand. I can hear twigs snapping far from us, beyond what any normal trainee should notice. I can smell adrenaline in the air that doesn’t belong to me or Olivia.My muscles feel coiled, like my body already knows a fight is coming.Olivia slows beside me, watching me with a wrinkle between her brows. “Are you okay?” she asks. I force a shrug, pretending it’s nothing. “I’m just more alert. It must be my nerves since it’s my first time participating in a hunt.” She raises a questioning brow at me as if she doesn’t look convinced, then focuses back on the faint t

    VENUSRowan doesn’t even look at him. His eyes stay on me, steady and unreadable. “Do you want to participate in the hunt, Venus?”My heart flips. What kind of question is that?“I… of course I would,” I say, blinking. “But I can’t. So why are you asking?”He asks again, voice calm. “Do you want to participate or not?”“Yeah…” I reply slowly. “But it doesn’t matter.”Rowan shifts slightly to the side, and only then do I notice Olivia standing behind him.My brows shoot up. “Olivia? What… why are you here?”She looks irritated, like someone forced her into this situation. She whispers something under her breath, then inhales sharply, as if preparing for battle.“Look,” she says, eyes rolling. “I’m only doing this because I’m desperate. But… would you be my partner in the hunt?”I stare at her, stunned. “What?”Olivia crosses her arms. “I need a partner. I don’t have anyone else. So I’m asking you.”I blink again, trying to understand if this is a joke. Olivia hates me. Or she thinks sh
