I bite back a laugh, fairly certain that wasn't his intended word choice, and sigh.
“I’ve just been enjoying some time alone. It feels like it’s been forever since I had a moment to myself. And I realized that although at first it was nice, now I feel lonely. And then I started thinking about how lonely I used to feel all the time, and how different life is now…” My voice catches, embarrassing me further. “Then I realized that I'm leaving soon, and I won't be surrounded by all my friends for years. Maybe forever… and…”
To my utter horror, my emotions take another somersault, and I feel tears welling up. Goddess, please don’t let me cry in front of the fucking prince. He sees me as a strong warrior, not a sobbing mess.
Before I know it, Tobias is on his knees in front of me, pulli

Sebastian's POV“Seb, what the hell are you doing?” Max’s voice chases after me, confused and slightly alarmed.I don’t answer. I can’t. I’m barely breathing, darting from one room to the next, desperate to find her. The scent gets stronger as I reach the games room. I throw the door open.Inside, a bunch of kids from school are clustered around the pool table. They all look up at me like I’ve grown a second head — and then I see her.Standing at the end of the table, stunning as hell in tight jeans and a pink blouse, is the source of that incredible smell. Chocolate brown eyes lock with mine. Her lips part. My wolf erupts.‘Mate.’"Mate," I whisper, stunned."Mate," she

Sebastian's POVThe drive back from camp is quiet. We’re all wiped out from the ball last night and weeks of brutal training. Max is driving us in his truck and I can’t help but stare — the guy barely fits in the seat. I’ve known for a while that my Beta is bigger than me, but seeing his camp scores laid out in black and white? That shit hits different. He outperformed me in every single category.When I started pushing for training upgrades last spring, it was to make Silver Dawn’s warriors tougher, sharper — more like Blood Moon. And yeah, it’s worked. Rogue attacks have been on the rise lately, but our casualties have dropped. Delta Greg was pleased with our progress even before we left for camp. But while I was dragging my ass to keep up, Max was crushing it. I watched him go toe-to-toe with elite alphas, hell, even Baxter’s twisted challenge drills, and he made it l

Zahra's POVTwo of the others are supernatural universities. One is a human collage. I don’t even have to think twice. The supernatural ones are far more likely to understand if I have any issues at the academy. One of them- Crescent Vale offers a slight variation of my preferred PPE option, its more detailed and will definitely be more relevant in the futureI flip open my laptop and accept my place for PPPEB — Pack Philosophy, Politics, Economics and Business. It’s the most intense course on the list, but also the most comprehensive. I even add on Supernatural History as an elective. Probably overkill. But after everything Angelica told me... it’s probably smart.With that handled, I toss some study materials onto my shopping list for tomorrow and hop into the shower.Once I’m clean and d

Zahra's POVSaying goodbye to everyone was way more emotional than I’d expected. I hadn’t imagined it would hit me this hard. Nicholas and Kayla have been amazing; warm, funny, a little overbearing in that affectionate parent way. Reconnecting with my family felt surprisingly... easy. Comforting. Like breathing cleaner air, having a proper family for two months, just made me realise what I’ve been missing for 14 years, and I’m going to miss them more than I care to admit.But the hardest goodbye, obviously, was Tobias. I wanted to throw my arms around him, bury my face in his chest, and just not let go. But with Alice hovering nearby like a suspicious hawk in lip gloss, I played it safe. A quick cheek kiss. A polite little hug. The same one I gave everyone else.Goddess, it nearly killed me.The drive back to Blood Moon felt ten times longer than the ride to the castle had been two months ago. It probably wasn’t. But back then, I’d had Tobias beside me, his ridiculously warm presence

Zahra's POVChloe’s energy is so genuine it pulls me out of my own head. Brunch picks up from there — full of low chatter and mismatched moods. Some people look like they’re regretting every drink from last night. Others, like Lottie and Alice, are already animated, buzzing about who wore what, whose hair held up, and who definitely did not pull off feathers. Chloe joins in periodically but it’s clear her heads banging. I nod along, half-listening, half-navigating the laser beam of Tobias’s intermittent stares.“Zahra, are you all packed? Do you need help with anything?” Alison leans around Jasper to speak to me, her voice warm and no-nonsense.I sigh. “Yes. I’m all packed. And ready.”She gives me one of those knowing smiles. The kind that says I see you, even when you

Zahra's POVI groan as my phone starts blaring, dragging me out of a deep sleep. I’m beyond exhausted after last night — it was past 3 a.m. when I finally collapsed into bed.The ball was magical. I danced with a boy for the first time... and then many, many boys after that. Honestly, I felt like I barely left the dance floor.When Tobias asked me to dance, in front of everyone — I thought I was going to spontaneously combust. I’ve never danced anywhere before, let alone at a royal ball. But he looked after me, kept me steady, and made me feel like I belonged there. Twirling around in his arms under all those chandeliers? It was like something straight out of a fairy tale. A perfect end to my fairy tale summer.I danced with Xander, Max, Lincoln, Brant, Oscar... even Aiden and Uncle Nicholas managed to pull me into a spin or two.
