Max's POV

Today has unfolded like a roller coaster. The moment Sebastian walked into the kitchen this morning; I could sense a shift in him. Yesterday at school, I had picked up on his budding interest in Zahra, but the depth of his feelings came into full view today. I have never seen him take an interest in anyone like this before. His reaction to her hospitalization revealed just how much he cared, and I must admit, it left me stunned. Zahra's delicate frame makes it hard to imagine her being hurt, yet there she was, more bruise than not, when I delivered Sebastian's flowers to the hospital.

The sight of her, so frail and battered, sparked an intense protective urge within me. I found myself grappling with these feelings, wondering about their implications, when Xander abruptly appeared to take the flowers. Our exchange was brief, but when I smiled at him, a zap of electricity surged through me, igniting a feeling of vitality I hadn't experienced before. It was disorienting, and I l

  • Scarred by fate    Chapter 175

    Zahra's PO“Wow!” Felix’s voice cuts through the pounding in my ears. I glance up, clutching the stitch in my side, and see the stunned expressions on the faces around me. Well, except for Uncle Nicholas and Tobias, who are both grinning like they’ve just won a bet.“What was my time?” I ask between gasps, directing my question at Baxter. He doesn’t respond right away, still looking at me weirdly.“We’ll check in a minute,” he finally says, shaking his head in amazement. “Not many people finish this course. It’s designed to be nearly impossible. Well done, Zahra.”Huh. I assumed it was just impossible for shorty me, but I guess even the taller wolves struggle. When you’re a midget, you learn to get creative. I smile and shrug, trying to play it cool despite the fact that

    Zahra's POV‘Stay calm, Z. You’ve got this, and I’m here with you.’Zanthe’s voice is steady and reassuring. Honestly, where would I be without her?“Morning, little one. Did you sleep well?” Tobias’s voice pulls me out of my thoughts. His tone is quiet, almost intimate, and I notice Jasper shooting him a look. What’s that about?“Yeah, good, thanks,” I reply with a small smile.Tobias gestures to the two massive men standing nearby. “I’d like you to meet Elite Trainers Eduardo,” he says, indicating the larger of the two, “and Blake.” The shorter one scowls slightly as he offers his hand. Great, he looks thrilled to be here.“Eduardo, Blake, this is Zahra Larkin, Beta Female

  • Scarred by fate    Chapter 173

    Zahra's POVI wake up to the warm sunlight streaming into my room, just as I’d expected. I knew I’d regret not drawing the curtains last night, but honestly, I don’t care. It’s a beautiful day, and excitement is bubbling under my skin.The thought of possibly seeing Zach and the others today adds to my anticipation. Even if I don’t run into them immediately, I know I will at some point, and that eases a little of my tension. But the dinner conversation from last night keeps playing in my head, stirring up fresh nerves. I know why I’m here—to be assessed and trained—but the thought of doing it in front of the entire Royal Ranked teams makes my stomach churn. I can’t shake the image of them watching my every move, silently judging whether I’m good enough to belong here. No pressure or anything.I push those thoughts aside and pull on my workout clothes—black cycling shorts, a hot pink sports bra, and a loose white sleeveless shirt. It’s functional and comfortable, which is all I need ri

    Zahra's POVWhat the fuck is happening?!Zanthe is preening smugly in my head, practically crowing that this is where we belong.Conceited wolf.Meanwhile, I’m sweating enough to fill a small swimming pool.Everyone takes their seats. Tobias sits on my other side, with Queen Sophie directly opposite me. The rest of the ranked members and their families fill in around the table in a casual, relaxed way. There’s no rigid seating plan, which is refreshing given the grandeur of everything else here.“So, Zahra, how’s the Blood Moon gang getting on?” Felix asks once everyone is settled. “Did they arrive for camp today?”“They’re good, thanks,” I reply. “Yes, we all drove in convoy. I expect they’re settling in now.”“Excellent. I’ll go say hi tomorrow before everything kicks off.” He smiles at

    Zahra's POVOh, my Goddess, I feel like my feet haven’t touched the floor since I arrived. Alice is like a bubbly tornado—funny, energetic, and seemingly incapable of pausing for breath. She hasn’t stopped talking since we entered my room, and I’m pretty sure she has a massive crush on Tobias. Her constant questions about him make me squirm a little, so I do my best to steer the conversation elsewhere whenever possible.Lunch was lively. The whole family was warm and welcoming, peppering me with questions that made me feel like they genuinely wanted to know more about me. It’s bittersweet, realizing what I’ve missed out on by not knowing them sooner. Just another lovely hand-me-down from thefucktard Beta.After lunch, Alice took me on a tour of the West Wing. The library left me speechless, though the gym—with its state-of-the-ar

  • Scarred by fate    Chapter 170

    Zarah's POVAfter a lovely evening giggling with Sienna and Abby, I barely slept. My excitement was through the roof. I can’t wait to see the palace, test myself against some truly skilled opponents, and experience the Alpha King’s training camp. At least, I hope I get to go. No one has explicitly said I’m allowed, but surely… right? If not, does that mean I won’t see the guys all summer? I suppose that wouldn’t be much different from every other summer. Still, I hope I’m included.As soon as the first rays of sunlight peek through my window, I give up on sleep. I get up, make my bed, and check through my wardrobe one last time to make sure I’ve packed everything. After a quick shower, I dress in a pair of white denim shorts and a light blue T-shirt with delicate, see-through lace detailing over the shoulders and neckline. It’s practical but also a little girly. I’ve been enjoying dressing more femininely now that I’m not stuck wearing all my brother’s hand-me-downs.I pull my hair in
