BRONZE

I grab Venus by the wrist and drag her to a quiet corner, hidden from everyone’s eyes. Her green eyes widen as I pin her gently, yet firmly, against the wall.

She stares up at me, breath catching, and for a second, it’s just the two of us, the world fading around us.

I’ve been waiting for a chance to talk to her ever since the day she rejected me. But camp duties had me running nonstop.

Venus has been avoiding me like what we had didn’t matter.

It fucking hurt.

Did she really fall out of love with me that fast?

The rejection stung, but what tore me apart was that she didn’t even try to talk first. She just walked away.

But Nor knocked some sense into me when he heard my thoughts.

“She did us a favor by letting you go. If our mate rejects us, I will lose half of my strength. How will you battle Rowan, the Alpha King, if I’m not strong?” he asked. He was right. “You accepted the rejection so you can’t blame her. It means you wanted to be free of this bond, too. So you should let

    VENUSThey come at me fast, but my body acts on instinct, like I can see their moves before they make them. Their punches seem sluggish and predictable. My counterattacks land with precision. One down, then another. By the time I slam the third into the ground, all three are groaning in defeat at my feet.But the blonde’s eyes flash with power, and I tense, bracing myself. He’s going to use his special powers. “Enough.” A woman’s voice cuts through the air. I spin around to see Olivia standing there, arms crossed, her presence commanding.The blonde snarls, “She deserves—”Olivia’s wolf surges through her eyes, glowing golden. The men flinch, fear overtaking their rage. They scatter without another word.Seems like they are quite scared of Olivia. I straighten, my breath uneven, my gaze snapping to Olivia. “Why are you here?”Before she can answer, Nora steps forward, voice trembling. “Thank you, Venus.”I nod, though my eyes never leave Olivia. She’s staring at me too, her gaze unr

    VENUSI shrug it off and head to the mess with Sid and Alex once the next one-on-one battle ends.Sid laughs the moment we walk through the mess. “Did you see Trent’s face when you kicked his ass?”I shake my head, a smile tugging at my lips despite myself.Alex smirks. “Serves him right. You taught him a good lesson,” Then his gaze lingers on me, full of warmth. “I knew you were strong enough to take down most of them.”Heat creeps up my neck at the admiration in his eyes. I duck my head, suddenly aware of how fast my pulse is racing.Sid slaps me lightly on the back. “Well, we’ve got to celebrate your victory now!”I shake my head. “Not with everything that’s happened. It doesn’t feel right.”Sid’s smile falters, her lips pressing together. “You’re right. Rimi’s death…” she exhales, her usual cheer dimming. “…it’s shaken us all.”We grab trays at the counter, the clatter of dishes and chatter of other trainees filling the space. “I just wish we knew who could do something like this

    ROWAN“I didn’t know what else to do,” she mumbles finally, gripping the back of a chair as if it’ll keep her grounded.“So you cheated,” I say flatly. “That’s how you plan to grow stronger? By tipping the scale in your favor instead of training harder?”“I—”“I’m disappointed,” I cut in, my voice low and cold now. “Olivia, I'm deeply disappointed in you. You fought an unshifted wolf, in a fair match, and still decided to use your power. Do you know what that makes you?”She shakes her head slowly, eyes shining with shame.“Weak,” I say. “The weakest kind of fighter there is.”She winces as if the words cut deep. Good. “I’ve noticed something,” I say finally, voice calm but clipped. “You’ve started to believe you can do whatever you want.”Olivia blinks. “I... I don’t understand what you mean.”“No?” I tilt my head slightly. “Your friends…What was his name again? Ah, yes. Trent and his little gang always seem to try bullying her.”Her mouth parts in shock. I continue, “It seems you’

    ROWANI ignore him.It’s better if she thinks I’m indifferent. That she can build a life with someone kind, her age, who doesn’t have blood on his hands.Someone... better. Like Bronze. But he’s disappointing me lately by acting confused and not giving Venus the respect and love she deserves. It’s all because of that woman, Mallory. I don’t know what her plans are yet but I’ll find out soon. My men have already started keeping an eye on her. Asgard growls. "She’s not meant for Bronze. She’s ours. The Goddess chose her."I shoot back, "The Goddess chose wrong."I rise from my chair and walk to the window, hands slipping into my pockets as I stare at my reflection in the glass. A tall shadow stares back. Hard eyes. Cold face. There are too many ghosts standing behind me.I’m not a saint. I never was.I’ve destroyed too many lives. Taken too much. Manipulated every board until I won. And I enjoyed it.I thrive in the shadows, where truth is twisted and blood is the currency. In the ro

    VENUSTrent gives her a wink, Their laughter grates on my nerves. I glance at Rowan, suspicion twisting in my chest. Did he set this up? Did he choose Trent on purpose… as if he wants to give me a second chance to prove myself? “Good luck,” Sid murmurs softly, her eyes holding mine for a moment before she steps back.Alex flashes me a thumbs up, his grin wide and reassuring. A little of the weight on my chest lifts.I take a long breath, then step into the ring.Rowan’s voice cuts through the crowd. “This round will be fought with no weapons. Physical strength and combat skills only. Special powers are prohibited.”His gaze lingers on me for half a second longer than necessary, before sweeping across the rest.Trent smirks at me from across the ring. “Don’t worry, sweetheart. I don’t need powers to take you down.”I narrow my eyes, lips curving into a smile. “Good. Because I’ve never been scared of circus jokers.”His smirk slips, anger flaring across his face.“Let’s see you laugh

    VENUSThe shrill cry of the alarm drags me out of sleep. I blink groggily, the ceiling unfamiliar for a second before my mind catches up. I'm in Sydney’s room.My arms are tangled in a blanket and when I shift, I realize I’ve been sharing the bed with Sid. She’s still fast asleep beside me, her face buried in the pillow, looking more like a sulking child. Across the room, Alex snores lightly on the guest bed, one arm draped over his face. I don’t even remember lying down. At some point last night, exhaustion must have knocked me out cold. After Rimi’s murder, the three of us felt dreadful so we stayed in Sid’s room, and spoke about how we knew her and what could have potentially happened. I didn’t tell them that I suspected Mallory. The clock blinks. 5:15 AM.I groan and gently shake Sydney. “Time to get up. Training.”She mumbles something into the pillow and tightens her grip on the blanket like it’s a lifeline. “I just want to sleep for ten more hours…”I get it. I really do. Th
