RIVEN'S POV

I stopped, thanking the goddess that Valoric came in time to interrupt what I was about to do.

I had been filled with the desire to satiate her need, her pleading tipped me over the edge when I had tried my best to restrain my own desires. The way she'd begged, the way her body had responded to mine - it had nearly broken every wall I'd built around my control.

It wouldn't be wise to do this here and right now. My wolf wanted to ignore and continue…wanted to claim her completely, mark her as mine in every way possible, but I knew better. The ceremony was still happening, people could come looking, and she deserved better than a rushed claiming in a guest room.

I gently took her off me, and headed to the door across the dimly lit room. I noticed she had started to regain herself but it took longer than the others. Usually after I stop feeding they go back to normal, but with her it wasn't so and it was a lot more intense.

"Took you long enough," I heard Valoric say as I u

  • Selected By The Half-Blood Prince   37. The Dungeon Trial II

    CADEN'S POVThe darkness in my cell felt like it was breathing, pressing against me from all sides. At first, I tried to stay calm. Tried to tell myself this was just some stupid test I had to get past to prove myself. I hated the fact that I didn't make it to Crown on my own. It felt pathetic being chosen. Even though I didn't want to be here, it was better to make the most of it.A slave couldn't be better than I was. Never.But after what felt like hours, nothing was happening and I felt alone with myself. Then the visions started.I was a child again, sitting in my parents' bedroom three days after the funeral. The house still smelled like the flowers people had brought, but they were wilted now. I looked through their things and I couldn't believe that they were gone. My parents who treated everyone kindly were dead, betrayed by their trusted warrior."They're gone," I whispered to the empty room. "They're really gone."I was still pouring out tears without restraint when Uncle B

    MAEVE'S POVWe'd barely had time to catch our breath from the obstacle course when they herded us all back into the main hall. My hands were still tingling from the burns, but they were mostly healed now."Think they're going to give us a break?" Dalia asked hopefully."Doubt it," Kaida muttered, looking around at the other candidates. Everyone looked tired and beaten up. They were more than a little nervous about what was coming next.The horn sounded and everyone turned to find Prince Harrion stepping up to the announcement platform with his poised confidence. Looking at him now, I mentally noted how different he was from when he was trying to talk to me. He looked more cold and a bit rigid.Prince Riven came up with Viela and they stood on opposing sides of him. His expression was carefully blank like it usually was, but there was something in his posture that suggested he wasn't happy about something.Prince Harrion's voice broke my train of thought. "Congratulations on surviving

  • Selected By The Half-Blood Prince   35. Obstacle of Death II

    MAEVE'S POV Their screams filled the space as I watched them limp to the finish line.I watched Darius gain on Vex, who had been aggressively pulling his weight, but then he got to the place where he had to stop and calculate the timing of the geysers and almost lost his balance to fall over into the spikes. Darius moved past him, and so did Caden and Maverick, showing they had already studied the timing.At the end, the best times were Darius, Caden, and Vex, and Maverick.I didn't have time to hear the rest as nerves bubbled in my stomach. I was next."We got this, Nyla. Don't try to be fast, be careful too," I squeezed her arms as we were called. Kaida gave me a thumbs up as I sent her a smirk.As we stood ready, I felt a familiar gaze on me and looked to see Prince Riven was here. His face was unreadable, but he was stiffer than usual.I tore my gaze away and got prepared. "Lyra, let's get this," I saw her mentally get ready.As the whistle blew, I made a dash for it. Gretchen wa

  • Selected By The Half-Blood Prince   34. Obstacle of Death I

    MAEVE'S POVIt's been three days, and today is the day of the Academy trials. The past few days have been a mix of funny and tense, with Dalia and Kaida telling me about their little prank on Caden. Caden sent glaring threats but said nothing to any of us. No accusations of any sort, which was so unlike him.We all didn't know how the placements would work, but we tried to get the best out of it, especially Nyla. We enjoyed every privilege Crown had to offer. Kaida seemed unbothered about the trials, but Dalia was panicking. Nyla and I agreed to brace ourselves for whatever was coming.I told her no matter what happens, nothing would change between us and she should be selfish with her decisions. I wouldn't take offense. We agreed if the games called for cooperation, we would work together, but out there it's every wolf for themselves.I hadn't seen Riven, but I knew it was too soon for him to need another feeding session. Still, I was secretly hoping he'd at least come to wish me luc

  • Selected By The Half-Blood Prince   33. Old Friends, New Games

    KAIDA'S POV I was just settling down when the knock on my door came in, I opened it to find Dalia rushing in like it wad her room not mine. But I couldn't help but notice how red her eyes were. "Let me guess," I said, "coming closer, “Caden problems." She flopped dramatically onto my bed, "I'm over him," she declared like she was trying so hard to convince herself as much as she was trying to convince me. I raised an eyebrow. "Okay…So why do you look like you've been crying into your pillow for the past hour?" "Because I'm angry," she said, sitting up straighter. "I'm angry that I wasted so much time on someone who never gave a damn about me. And I want to get back at him." Now that was interesting. Finally, Dalia was speaking my language. "What did you have in mind?" I asked, settling into the chair across from her. Her smile turned wicked in a way that reminded me she was related to Maeve. "Something that would cause him discomfort but not get us in too much trouble if we're

  • Selected By The Half-Blood Prince   32. Hidden Agendas

    MAEVE'S POVI swore under my breath, cursing that idiot Vex. Because of his need to start drama, I couldn't even enjoy my first proper rich breakfast full of fluffy pastries, fresh fruit, meat that wasn't dried or salted into leather. Instead, we were all picking at our food with nervous fingers while the clock ticked down.The officials had given us exactly fifteen minutes to meet them at the central training arena before sweeping out like harbingers of doom. Most of us could barely eat as we were too busy anticipating whatever they had planned.When the alarm sounded, we rushed down corridors and then into the arena that was significantly bigger than our private training space back in Crown dorms. The central arena was massive, built to accommodate a larger number, and it felt a tad bit intimidating.Harrion and Riven stood at the center, as Harrion started to address us."For too long, you've relied on your wolves for strength," Harrion began, his voice, loud and clear across the e
