"Thank goodness. It’s time to get it over with." Viola found consolation in the fact that the day had broken, Lillian still complained on some of her forms.
"You'll do good. You're strong and fast. Don't worry about it."
Lilian patted her back as she esc
The Alpha convention had finally arrived after so much preparations. It was arguably the biggest event in the calendar of Avalon. It was a first for Viola, a beginning in Viola’s full-time journey as a lycan in Ortus Solis. It was astonishing that in a matter of months Viola had gone from an invisible halfbreed in Avalon Academy to being one of the highlights of the show. To make an appearance and join the most powerful and elite circle of Avalon. Itwas important to Eli. A successful introduction would make Viola’s presence at the Alpha trials more likely especially if acted like she belonged. Viola remembered her sister, Freya’s words to her. You have to remember ‘you are a part of the family’. Viola also remembered her father’s warning and his advice that she should correct her mistakes so he wouldn't have to. Thinking about the night made Viola anxious. A million things could go wrong and it would all be her fault. As if Noah could read her mind, he mindlinked her. “Hey, I ca
Viola had begun home training with Malachi. He was a really quiet man, comfortable with not talking. Viola had heard that he was one of the best fight strategists in the pack and in Avalon in general. He fought like he was two or three Lycan, one attack always built up to several others. When his blows connected it was like he had extra limbs but in truth he had just planned his actions in advance. He was also the best in terms of hand to hand combat. Most lycans would need to shift to fight better, but Malachi never needed to shift. He always trained her in his human form. Always. “Today, Viola the objective is to fight without your wolf.” He said. Her wolf had greatly exceeded his expectations and it was far more superior than it should have been for an halfbreed. “Hand to hand combat. There are situations where we cannot change into our wolf so it is important to be able to be excellent at fighting without the wolf.” Malachi said and Viola nodded. “The first thing I want you to
The Alpha convention like all things came and went. The entire saga had gone fairly okay. All the nightmares that Viola had about it did not come to past. Even though, the Alpha convention left a difficult choice for Viola – ‘Compete in the Alpha trials or marry Sylvester.’ It was something in the future and a lesson from dreading the convention so much was to not let the future steal the joy of the present because it was truly unpredictable. Now was the only thing to focus on and Viola only focused on now. She returned to school as quickly as she was allowed. She had come to love Avalon high, not the classes or its ever-looking students but the freedom. Freedom to do more or less. Before, when Viola was just Viola Hawkins school was an escape and now it still was. Here, she had Cora, Everett and Noah. Noah and her had become even closer. It was like they suddenly realised how quickly things can change and decided to use the time they had for as much as they could together. It bega
Cora knew they were in trouble the minute they reached Avalon. And not just any trouble, big trouble. Her father mind linked her immediately she was in the vicinity and he seemed angry and worried altogether. She was even more worried about Viola, who it seemed her father had figured out that she wasn't in Avalon, with Noah, who wasn't exactly the best person at the moment for her to be spending her time with. "We're in big trouble." She whispered to Everett as they neared the school and he turned to look at her. She quickly mind linked him telling him what her father had said and he glanced at Noah and Viola who were laughing together. "Shit!" He said out loud and Noah stopped to turn and look at them. "Everything alright?" He asked and Cora shook her head. "Not exactly. They know we're missing in school." Viola's eyes widen with fear and dread. "Wait! Who knows? Does my Dad know?" She asked with dread in her voice and Cora nodded slowly. "Yes, I'm sorry but he knows.

"It's a castle! It's a freaking castle!" Cora Windsor murmured as she dragged her luggage in front of the towering castle gate. It was a long walk into the castle itself.She grimaced as she looked at the long lonely walk ridden with gargoyles and angel sculptures.All around her, students carrying luggage, some in cars and some laughing loudly were walking towards Avalon Academy for Werewolves.Avalon Academy was a large Castle with extensive school grounds surrounding it, which included sloping lawns, flowerbeds, vegetable patches, a large dense forest, several greenhouses and other outbuildings, and a full sized pitch.One of the castle's towers held containment rooms, where werewolves in training who couldn't control themselves on the full moon were locked in.The castle was set upon huge rocks above a magnificent lake, better known as the Mo
As a little boy, no one except Everett's mother had thought him handsome as a baby. Their gaze had halted when they got to his roman nose and their smile had faltered for a fraction of a second.As a boy he didn't attract the girls. The girls had been more attracted to the boys who were big and strong. It was the signs of strong werewolf genes.He was skinny and his cheek bones just gave him a skeletal look. But by fourteen he was filling out, he had muscles from rigorous trainings and pack patrol with the adult werewolves.By seventeen he became handsome. He had grown into those features, his bone structure was fine and perfectly symmetrical. It was manly. But Everett's new shape didn't do much for him, not when his status couldn't rise past that of an ordinary wolf.Sometimes Everett wondered if he w
Cora Windsor did not like the look the boy the principal claimed was her personal guide was giving her. It was an intense look and it made her very uncomfortable. So uncomfortable that her stomach felt sick.The Principal and Sydney left both of them after brief introductions."So, Everett... Nice to meet you." Cora said as she stretched her hand to give him a polite handshake.Her jumped up in surprise and moved away from her hand.What a weirdo.Cora thought as he watched him with amusement."Well, handshakes must not be your thing. Are you a germophobe or what?" She asked as she la
