Lucas looks grim. Alison looks like she’s just been slapped.
“But Zahra is so young,” she says, breathless. “She’s still a child. You can’t expect us not to talk to her for three years!”
Holt’s voice remains neutral. “You are, of course, welcome to contact the Academy to check in on her progress. But direct communication from her end is not allowed until year four.”
I notice Astrid smirking at Alison’s words — the implication that I’m just a kid clearly delights her.
Fan-fucking-tastic.
“Um, Director Holt,” I begin, clearing my throat. “I’m enrolled in an online degree program at Crescent Vale. It starts in four weeks. Is there any way I can continue my studies during

Zahra's POVMaddox backs away, clipboard in hand, while the other instructors spread around the edge, ready to score. Jameson steps up to referee.“Go!” he shouts, starting the stopwatch.Daxton charges, fist flying. Liam blocks, driving his own punch into Daxton’s side. Daxton barely reacts. They trade a flurry of blows, both showing impressive skill — Daxton’s footwork is solid, his hits land with power, and he keeps his guard up — but he’s terrible at hiding his tells. Liam spots them instantly and starts picking him apart.When Liam switches styles, Daxton starts to falter. He sticks to kickboxing while Liam cycles through multiple martial arts. Daxton’s not defenceless, but Liam’s clearly in control. Then Liam lunges, taking Daxton down hard. They roll, scrapping for control until Liam traps Dax
Scarred by fate Chapter 303
Zahra's POVI wake up feeling incredible — relaxed, boneless, and so well rested it’s unreal. It’s like I’ve had twelve hours of uninterrupted sleep. Tobias’s scent wraps around me, and I inhale it like it’s the only oxygen I’ll ever need.He’s tracing slow circles up and down my back, and somehow it isn’t ticklish. Before I can stop it, a breathy sigh slips out. Goddess damn it, Zahra, have some self-respect! That was embarrassing.“Little one,” Tobias murmurs, “it’s nearly time for the sparring assessment. You need to get ready and head back outside. Aiden just linked to say the others are already moving.”I groan, stretch, and roll onto my back. Tobias is still lying on his side, watching me. His arm is under my head, and when I moved, his other hand slid onto my hip. His palm spans almost my entire stomach, fingers brushing the opposite hip bone. Fuck, I really am tiny. He must think I’m such a baby compared to him.I roll to the edge of the bed and stand, stretching again — a sat

Zahra's POV“Is there a problem here?”A deep voice cuts through the tension like a knife. I already know who it is before I turn. Every cell in my body settles the moment he gets close.Jasper steps between the three bitches and me, his arm slipping around my shoulders like he’s been doing it forever.“You good, Smalls?” he asks, and I nod, relief blooming in my chest.Aiden appears on my other side and wraps me in a solid hug.Astrid’s voice sharpens. “You see? You’re not even trying to hide it. You’re disgusting.”I lean my head against Aiden’s chest and let out a long, exhausted sigh.“What’s up, Zar?” he murmurs, but I’m not looking at him. I glance toward Tobias instead — who now looks like he’s about to burst into flames.
Scarred by fate Chapter 301
Zahra's POVI devour my lunch, still feeling the weight of a lot of eyes on me for most of it. Towards the end of the meal, Zanthe stretches awake — thank the goddess, or shifting later would’ve been awkward. There’s a lot of banter and chatter at our table. It’s clearly a bit of a reunion for some of them. Nicholas seems to know all the instructors well, and I guess as a graduate of the academy himself, he must know them from alumni events and the like.They all remain sitting and chatting after finishing. I glance at my watch and see I’ve still got another hour and a half before sparring. I think I’m going to lie down — Zanthe can’t do much about exhaustion, and I feel like I’m dragging.'I'm going to rest a bit in my room.' I link Tobias.He looks at me,
Scarred by fate Chapter 300
Zahra's POVI head straight upstairs and hop into the shower, somehow, I manage to navigate the control panel and I cranking the temperature as high as it’ll go — it hits just right on my sore body. Zanthe is working overtime on repairs. My legs feel brand new already, but my arms are still aching, and she’s clearly getting tired. I need to feed her.I grab a clean set of uniform, leaving the wet, muddy one in the bathroom, and pull on a fresh pair of trainers. With my damp hair braided down my back, I head downstairs as fast as my sore body will let me.Extra tables have been added to the dining room to accommodate all the guests, making the space feel cramped — especially with all the new colours.I grab a tray and load it up: steak, chicken, potatoes, broccoli. Coffee, electrolyte drink, and water. I need fuel — pr

Zahra's POV'Goddess, you are amazing,' Tobias says in my head, and he sounds proud as hell.'No one has ever finished this course on the first assessment.'I sit up, wobbling. I find him in the crowd, smug as ever. He and Nicholas are both grinning like the Cheshire fucking cat.Then Maddox and Vale stride toward me. My gut twists. Maddox looks furious, eyebrows drawn so tight his face could shatter glass.Shit. Am I in trouble? Should I not have laid down? Was that disrespectful?Maddox grabs my shoulders, pulls me upright. His hands are huge and solid and weirdly gentle. He stares at me hard, his dark eyes flicking across my face like he’s looking for something.Vale speaks first. “That, Miss Larkin, was very impressive.”Maddox doesn’t look away. “We get strong applicants all the time. But this morning?” He shakes his head, still holding my gaze. “We thought there had been some sort of error. We doubted—hell, I doubted—a fourteen-year-old could have the stats you had on your appli
