LOGINChater 93I stood in the arena, my chest still heaving from the first part of the Stage Two challenge. My hands were sweaty, my muscles tight, but my wolf was awake now, fully aware, fully alive. It started as a vibration deep inside me, low and insistent, and then it grew, spreading through my body like fire. My senses sharpened. Every whisper, every movement, every sound in the crowd reached me with painful clarity. I could feel my heartbeat echoing through the arena, every thump synchronized with my wolf’s pulse.Theo and his brother stood at the sidelines, their eyes never leaving me. I could feel their concern and pride in the way they exchanged glances, subtle but loaded with meaning. They had trained me, guided me, reminded me of everything I had learned about strength, balance, and control. And now, it was showing. My wolf surged forward inside me, strong, powerful, not monstrous yet, but noticeable. My ears pricked slightly without me realizing, my instincts flaring, my prese
Chapter 91The arena was quiet now, the murmurs of the crowd dying down as the elders called for the contestants to step forward. My chest felt heavy, my heart racing, but I forced myself to stand tall. The morning sun glinted off the ropes marking the arena’s boundaries, and the smell of dust, grass, and sweat hung thick in the air. I could feel the eyes of every pack member on me. Whispers drifted to my ears, curiosity and doubt all mixed together.The cousin was already on the floor, his body relaxed, chest out, a smug smile plastered across his face. He flexed his fingers, eyes scanning the crowd, confident that he had already won. I could see it in the way he carried himself, the arrogance of someone who believes victory is already his. People whispered about him too, praising his strength, predicting that no one could even come close to challenging him. Some laughed quietly, exchanging smirks and nods.Then the elders’ voices rang out, calling the contestants forward. My hands t

Chapter NinetyCamille, Theo, and his brother arrived at the arena early, the sun still low in the sky and casting long, golden shadows across the grounds. The air smelled faintly of grass and smoke from torches that had been lit to mark the arena’s boundaries. Camille’s hands were pressed lightly against her sides, trying to calm herself, but her heart thumped like a drum inside her chest. Each step toward the gates made it pound faster, each sound of boots against the ground, each whisper from the pack members watching them made her pulse race.The pack members were already gathering, murmuring amongst themselves, their curiosity sharp. Nobody expected her to actually be here to compete. Whispers followed them as they walked: “Is that really Camille?” “She’s an omega… why would she even try?” “Did Theo send her?” Their doubt and disbelief only made her chest tighten further, but also fueled a quiet determination inside her.Theo stayed close, his presence a steadying force at her si
Chapter Eighty NineThe morning air was thick and heavy as we left the house. I walked between Theo and his brother, my stomach twisting with a mix of nervousness and determination. Today was different. Stage 2 was not just another test—it was a chance to prove myself, to show that I was more than just an omega, more than what my cousin thought I was. My full wolf pulsed inside me, restless and powerful, a silent roar waiting to be unleashed.Theo and his brother didn’t speak much at first. Their presence was enough, solid and grounding. They knew the weight of what was about to happen, and I could feel it in the tight lines of their bodies, in the way their eyes scanned every detail as we moved through the crowded streets toward the training grounds. I tried to focus on my breathing, tried to quiet the storm inside me, but it wouldn’t settle. My wolf stirred with impatience, pacing through my mind, and I pressed my hands against my chest to feel the steady beat of my own heart.When
Chapter 89The moment was heavy with tension as Theo walked through the long corridor of the pack house. The air felt thick, almost suffocating, as if the walls themselves were waiting to witness the confrontation that was about to happen. His jaw tightened, his hands curled into fists. He had sensed it for a while, the shadow that was creeping closer, the one person who never forgot, never forgave, and never missed a chance to strike. His cousin.The cousin was standing there, leaning casually against the wooden railing, his eyes glinting with that sharp, cunning light Theo knew too well. As soon as he saw Theo, his smirk widened, almost cruelly, as if he had been waiting for this moment all his life.“You,” the cousin said slowly, drawing out the word as if it already carried weight and accusation. “I’ve known for a long time. I knew all along it was you, Theo. I knew you were pulling the strings. You’re the reason she has a chance to win. You want her to succeed, don’t you?”Theo f
