Neris's POV

"This is insane."

Evren says it under his breath as we crouch behind the low stone wall bordering the academy's east grounds, the same wall I used to duck behind carrying water buckets nobody else wanted to carry, back when my biggest fear was dropping something breakable in front of Ysolde's friends.

"You already said that twice," Lucien murmurs, eyes fixed on the perimeter patrol making its slow circuit near the service gate.

"It bears repeating. We're an instructor's uniform and

  • The Girl the Alpha Academy Couldn't Break   Chapter 45_The Wolf Within

    Neris's POV"Evren, look at me."He doesn't. His black eyes stare through me, past me, focused on something none of the rest of us can see, his body coiled and trembling like a predator deciding whether the room is worth the effort of destroying."That's not him anymore," Lucien says, backing away carefully, urging Cassian to do the same despite his weakened state. "Whatever's in control right now, it isn't Evren.""Then I need to reach the part of him that still is." I hold my ground, my own wolf pressing forward protectively even as every instinct screams to retreat. "The voice said the fragment came from my bloodline. If that's true, I should be able to follow it back.""Follow it back how?" Cassian's voice is tight with pain and worry both. "You can't exactly walk into someone else's mind, Neris."You can, the voice says, quiet and certain. It requires only intention, and the same connection you used to stabilize him the first time. Touch him. Let the mark guide you inward instead

  • The Girl the Alpha Academy Couldn't Break   Chapter 44_The Mark

    Neris's POV"Something's wrong with my arm."Evren says it too calmly for what I'm seeing, sleeve pushed back to reveal skin already darkening along his forearm, veins standing out black beneath the surface like ink spreading through water."Since when?""Since the compound attack, maybe. I thought it was just bruising." He flexes his fingers, wincing. "It's gotten worse the last hour. Feels like something's clawing from the inside."Cassian, still weak from the bridge, pushes himself upright despite Lucien's protest. "Let me see."The mark beneath the darkened skin resolves slowly into something unmistakable — three interlocking crescents, faint but unmistakably the same shape burned into my own collarbone."That's not possible," I say, my chest tightening. "That's my mark.""Kessel said he'd already reached you," Cassian says grimly. "This must be what he meant."Evren's jaw tightens, sweat beading at his temple despite the cold morning air. "Reached me how? I haven't left anyone's

  • The Girl the Alpha Academy Couldn't Break   Chapter 43_The Rescue

    Neris's POV"Come closer, Neris. Let's not waste the last hour of darkness on formalities."Kessel's voice carries across the old bridge, calm as always, and behind him I see Cassian slumped against a support post, hands bound, blood matting one side of his face, alive but barely holding consciousness."Let him go first," I say, stopping a careful distance away, hands visible, exactly as instructed."That's not how this works, and you know it." Kessel steps aside slightly, giving me a clearer view of Cassian's condition, deliberate in the cruelty of it. "You've come alone, as requested. I'm impressed by your restraint, given what I suspect you actually wanted to do the moment you received my message.""What do you want.""The same thing I've always wanted." He gestures, and two guards step forward, flanking me on either side without touching me yet. "Full cooperation. No more resistance, no more running, no more delaying an outcome that was always inevitable.""And if I refuse.""Then

  • The Girl the Alpha Academy Couldn't Break   Chapter 42_They Took Cassian

    Neris's POV"We go now."Evren's already moving toward the tree line before the words finish leaving his mouth, blade still drawn, blood still drying on his sleeve from a fight that ended twenty minutes ago and already feels like a lifetime."Evren, stop." Lucien catches his arm, and Evren rounds on him with a fury I've rarely seen directed at either of his friends."They took him, Lucien. Every minute we stand here debating strategy is another minute he's alone with people who murder instructors and burn down entire families for existing.""And charging into unknown enemy territory with no plan gets you captured too, or worse, gets him killed the moment they realize we're coming." Lucien's voice stays level, but something underneath it has gone hard, urgent in a way that matches the crisis without matching Evren's raw panic. "We need information before we move. Numbers, position, what they actually want in exchange for him.""We know what they want." Evren's jaw is tight, fury barely

  • The Girl the Alpha Academy Couldn't Break   Chapter 41_The War Begins

    Neris's POV"They're coming through the north perimeter!"The shout carries across what's left of the courtyard, and I'm moving before I've fully processed the words, my wolf already answering the demand for speed."How many?" I ask, reaching the perimeter wall where a cluster of instructors and older students have gathered, weapons drawn, faces set with the particular grim determination of people who know exactly how outmatched they are."Too many to count clearly," an instructor says, voice tight. "Vashti's forces. Full combat units, not the scattered mercenaries we've dealt with before."I climb onto the remains of the collapsed wall, and the sight beyond it steals whatever confidence I'd managed to build over the last hour. Dozens of armed figures moving through the tree line in disciplined formation, torchlight glinting off actual military equipment instead of the improvised gear Kessel's hired attackers carried."That's not a raid," Lucien says, arriving beside me, his expressio

  • The Girl the Alpha Academy Couldn't Break   Chapter 40: The Choice

    Neris's POV"You could leave. Tonight."Lucien says it quietly, watching me across the wreckage-strewn courtyard where students are still being counted, still being treated for injuries, the academy behind us reduced to smoking ruins and cracked stone."What do you mean, leave?""I mean exactly that." He gestures toward the tree line beyond the collapsed perimeter wall, dark and open and, for the first time in weeks, essentially unguarded. "Kessel's people are regrouping. Vashti's forces are still hours out, delayed by whatever chaos the chamber's activation caused across the surrounding territories. For perhaps the next few hours, nobody is actively watching this exact stretch of forest.""You're suggesting I run.""I'm suggesting you have an option you haven't fully considered." His voice stays careful, measured. "Disappear. Change your name again. Live somewhere no one thinks to search for a bloodline everyone already believes destroyed twice over. You could have an ordinary life,
