Zahra's POV

Jasper flicks his eyes at Tobias, who exhales, puffing out his cheeks. “I don’t know if it’s about you and Zanthe being a White Wolf.” His tone sounds careful. There’s definitely something he is not saying, but I don’t push. I don’t have the energy.

I grab my phone, quickly typing out an email to Dr. Garland asking for a session. I need professional help sorting out all of these new revelations before my head explodes. Through the corner of my eye, I see Tobias share another look with Jasper, who stands with a casual stretch.

“Now that you’re okay, Zahra,” Jasper says gently, “I’ll leave you two. See you later.” His hand pats my shoulder before he slips out the door.

Tobias remains at the foot of my bed, then heads to a small sofa in front of the window. Holding out his hand, he beckons me. “Come here, little one.”

I hesitate only a second, then walk into his arms, sliding mine around his neck as he curls his around my waist. The warmth of him seeps into my tired muscles.

    Zahra's POVBefore I can respond, the mind-link in my head buzzes again, abruptly and painfully. My whole-body tenses at the sudden onslaught, and Tobias’s posture straightens, concern jumping back onto his face.“What is it?” he asks, brows drawing together.“I think it’s my brother and the others,” I murmur, pressing a palm against my temple. “They’re trying to punch through Zanthe’s barrier.”“If you want privacy, we can go,” Tobias offers, though his eyes flick with reluctance. I get the sense he’s not exactly eager to leave me alone.I shake my head. “Stay. I’ll see what they want.”Cautiously, I open the link. A flood of voices and emotions slam into me, making me flinch. Zach, Xander, Oscar, and Eliot all shout at once, layered over each other like a storm in my mind. It’s overwhelming. I’ve never tried to handle so many people in my head simultaneously.‘Zahra, Zahra, where are you?’ Zach’s voice breaks through, sounding panicked. But there’s no space to answer—everyone is sho

    Zahra's POVThe bathroom door bangs open. Jasper charges in, eyes wild, and Tobias is right on his heels. I can barely see their faces behind the swirling black specks.“Zahra?!” Tobias’s voice is laced with terror. “Zahra, what’s wrong? Are you hurt?”I try to answer, but my lungs give me nothing. The last thing I glimpse is Tobias’s horrified expression before the world blurs around me, and darkness closes in.I hear Jasper yell, “She’s having a panic attack!” The echo of his voice ricochets off the marble walls. Everything feels too loud, too close. Suddenly something soft drapes over me, and I get the sensation of being lifted. My head lolls back, limbs unresponsive, and my brain refuses to focus.A cool hand presses against my neck, and I feel a flood of calming energy surge through me. It is powerful, like a fire blanket snuffing out the flames of my panic, yet my fear fights back in waves.Then I sense warm lips at my temple, two hands gliding up and down my arms. That touch so

    Xander's POVI grit my teeth, sweat rolling down my neck as Brant and Marcus close in. They are relentless, each an exceptional fighter in his own right. Facing them together feels like brawling two rampaging bulls with nowhere to run. My lungs burn, and my chest thuds in time with my frantic heartbeat. Atlas stirs restlessly in my mind, urging me to keep moving.‘We can handle this, he growls. Push harder. They are strong, but so are we.I exhale through clenched teeth, trying to focus. One on one, I think I could probably take Brant, and maybe manage a draw against Marcus, but battling both is an entirely different league. Every time I try to launch an offensive move, one of them blindsides me from the flank. I grunt as Brant’s forearm clips my shoulder, sending a jolt of pain down my side. Marcus spins in for the follow-up blow, and I barely manage to deflect with my elbow.By the time Baxter calls time on our ten-minute defence session, I can hardly stand upright. Bruises bloom ac

    Zahra's POVI am fucking exhausted. This morning was insane. Amazing, but my entire body feels like it might mutiny at any second. Henry and Archer pushed me to my absolute limit and beyond, and I have taken more hits today than I think I ever have in my life. Sparring two on one is brutal enough, but they picked two of the best Elites to come at me. Both are huge. Archer’s reach alone is practically the length of my entire body. To make matters worse, I was locked in defence mode the entire time. Everyone else got to rotate into offense every ten minutes, yet Tobias and I had to fight off our opponents for the entire session. By the end of two hours, he looked just as wrecked as I felt.Despite the beating, I feel like I learned a ton. I have never felt so challenged. Even in my earliest training sessions, nobody pushed me this far. With Edwardo shouting tips and pointers, Zanthe and I picked up what feels like a month’s worth of techniques in one morning. My muscles ache like crazy,

    Xander's POVI wake with a start, instantly alert. Atlas, my wolf, still snoozes in the back of my mind. Nothing stirs in my room, so I check my phone. Five-thirty in the morning—too early for any sane wolf. But I am awake now, and my thoughts are restless, so I might as well get up. I dress quietly and slip outside.My feet lead me to the main cabin, hoping for coffee. Once inside, I find Lincoln filling a mug. He turns his head, offering a small smile. “Morning,” he murmurs.“I figured I’d be the only early riser,” I say, returning the smile.“Yeah, me too.” He hands me the mug he just poured and fills a second for himself. We both grab something to eat—bacon sandwich for me, an apple for him—and silently agree to head outdoors.It is a bright, crisp morning, with the sun still low in the east and birds raising a racke
