AVELORA

My muscles were screaming, a throbbing ache that radiated from my calves all the way up to my shoulders. Sweat dripped from the tip of my nose, splashing onto the floor of the training room

One more set.

One more set.

I repeated the mantra, my lungs burning as I pushed myself up from the floor, my arms trembling undermy weight.

Across the room, Khyrix watched my every move. He hadn't said a word since we walked in here an hour ago. He didn't need to. The anger radiating off him spoke vo

    AVELORASomething was moving in the wall. It wasn't just my mind playing tricks on me, instead of it being footsteps though, it sounded like a massive insect crawling against the wall.I instantly took cover behind the dust ridden desk that stood in the middle of the room. I wasn't hadn't been able to successfully hide behind it yet when Khyrix pulled me by my wrist, he made me stand behind him."Stay where I can see you." He commanded.The creaking against the wall grew stronger, at the same time it felt as if the veins across the book was glowing, pulsing and alive. The sound grew increasingly louder, it was coming from behind the shelf. Then everything suddenly went eerily quiet. My pulse slowed, my hand still wrapped around khyrix's who possessed the terrifying calm of someone who knew they were the apex predator.Crack.I hadn't registered the sound yet before the books on the shelf came tumbling down in a horrifying mess.Khyrix who had been standing close to the shelf with

    AVELORAI was excited for information, but definitely not this excited. I didn't think my search for answers would involve being trapped in here, barely able to walk, combing through the exact same set of boring books again. My thighs were still screaming, and every time I bent over to look at a lower shelf, a flash of pain shot straight up my spine.Khyrix, however, didn't seem to be looking through the books. He was searching the library itself."Can you tell me what you are looking for?" I asked, leaning against a table.He didn't answer. He just shook his head, his focus entirely consumed by the wooden paneling of the wall."The suspense is killing me," I muttered, dragging myself a step closer. "And I am literally dying a slow death because I can feel the pain in every single inch of my body. A little communication would be nice."He looked up at me briefly. That unreadable mask had magically slipped back onto his face. Without a word, he went right back to whatever he had been d

    AVELORA My throat was burning, my whole body was shaking, and Khyrix had just told me to drop into a squat position and remain there while holding these dumbbells.I was being stubborn. I wasn't ready to apologize, but I would do anything, anything, to leave this torture room.He wasn't even saying much, just being unnecessarily cruel. "I can't get strong in a day," I forced out, almost wheezing."No," he simply said, before straightening my arms and my back.My thighs were going to give out any minute, but I didn't want to collapse in front of him. Weak people weren't supposed to possess pride, but my ego had somehow become way more massive than I initially thought it was."I'm sorry," I choked out, almost inaudible.If this continued, I might die before I actually got to the Blood Moon trials."What did you say?" he asked, even though I was sure he heard me loud and clear."I said I'm sorry, Alpha. I won't make decisions without you," I breathed.Khyrix took his sweet time to walk

He hadn't said a word since we walked in here an hour ago. He didn't need to. The anger radiating off him spoke volumes. He was like a pressure cooker right now and any wrong move, hhe was going to blow up and probably have my head. His dark eyes tracked the line of my spine, the angle of my elbows, and the unsteady rise and fall of my chest with a terrifying intensity.He wanted me to break. I knew he did. He was pushing me through this unrelenting workout hoping I would finally throw my hands up, burst into tears, and beg him to call off the trials. He wanted me to admit that I was just a weak, wolfless g

    KHYRIX The door to my room hadn’t even fully clicked shut before the rage I’d been suffocating since the meeting erupted."Are you completely out of your mind?"I spun around to face Avelora. She stilll reeked of anxiety but beneath that was that stubborness that made Torin roar in frustration. I paced the the lenght of the rug, my claws involuntarily pricking against my palms as my hands clenched into tight fists. I was losing my grip on my temper. The thought of her in those woods, flesh torn, blood on the snow, gone forever, was like a reeated violent punch on my gut."I was trying to fix it." Avelora snapped back, crossing her arms over her chest. She looked so small standing against thewall in my room, yet she was standing her ground like she actually stood a chance against the storm brewing inside me. "They won't leave me alone until I did something about it, they wont accept me until I do what they want"I wanted you to keep your mouth shut" I bellowed, the sound vibrating the

    AVELORAIf silence could kill, the thirteen wolves in this room would have been arranging my funeral.The word yes was still echoing off the stone walls of the High Court, a self-inflicted death warrant. Every single eye at the table snapped directly to me, their expressions shifting from satisfaction to shock. They hadn't expected the wolfless lamb to willingly walk into the slaughterhouse.Honestly, for a split second, neither had I.Beside me, the temperature in the room dropped to below freezing. Khyrix glared at me. The confidence he had just a second ago was replaced by panic he didn't even try to hide."No," Khyrix repeated, his voice dropping an octave into a low growl that rattled the room. "Absolutely not. The answer is no.""I said yes," I countered, my voice shaking slightly, but I forced myself to sit up straighter. I unlocked my hands from my bruised thighs and placed them flat on the table. If I was going to ever get anywhere in this place, I needed to stop being a

I was grounded in my spot, and even though I had always wanted to be stronger, it felt like it wasn’t goal enough compared to what he had said.“I want to be strong enough to stop b

    Khyrix"Mate," my wolf—Torin—growled as I stepped through the crowd, the familiar scent hitting my nose. Wild jasmine, the scent of the girl that serves me with a scowl on her face every morning.Torin pounded against my chest, urging me to be faster in my search for her. I moved through the crowd

    # Chapter nineThe impact of her body hitting mine sent us both sprawling back into the closet. My head cracked against the hardwood shelf, and for a second, my vision went blank."You little thief," a voice hissed.My eyes snapped open to see Natalia. She wasn't the polished, untouchable Natalia.

When did the pillows in the dorms become so comfortable?The pillow moved, and my eyes shot open. “Morning, mate.” I shuddered. His voice was even deeper in the morn
