VENUS

His teasing lights a fire under my skin, and I push myself to my feet. He won the first round.

Round two.

This time, I need to be smarter.

I lower my stance, feet grounded on the mat, eyes locked on his posture. He’s centered, perfectly balanced. Calm. Ready.

I fake a high punch. He bites, raising his arms to block, just as I predicted. I dive low with a sweeping kick, aiming to take out his legs.

But he jumps midair. Twisting like a damn acrobat, landing behind me with a silent grace that makes me freeze.

Shit. That was cool.

Before I can react, his arm snakes around my waist. He locks my arm, shifts his weight, and in one fluid motion, executes a hip throw that sends me crashing onto the mat again.

This time, it’s my pride that hits harder than the floor.

He extends a hand, that maddeningly charming smile on his face. I grab it with a begrudging huff.

“You’re strong,” I mutter, unable to keep the grudging respect out of my voice.

“I get that a lot,” he says with a wink.

I can’

    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

    VENUSI don’t expect the location of my date with Alex to bring this… heaviness. We’re at the Moonlight Festival. The cobblestone street stretches ahead of us, lined with stalls on both sides, glowing under strings of lights. I’ve been here so many times before. With Bronze. This area of the town is a common place for all kinds of festivals and celebrations. So whenever there was one, Bronze would bring me here as a date. The memories slip in without permission, making my chest ache. I have spent good times here with him, enjoying the food, holding his hands. We even kissed at a secluded place. Now I’m here with Alex, and it’s… different. It’s not bad, just complicated. It feels like I’m repeating the same day, but with a different person. It makes me feel guilty. It’s unfair to think of my past when I’m with Alex. At least I’m not overdressed. When Sydney found out Alex was taking me out, she practically staged an intervention in my closet. Her idea of a first-date outfit invol
