LOGINShe’s vain, so she’ll probably try to protect her face. Long loose hair, easy to pull. Skinny but not short; I might be able to flip her if I use her own weight, but she’s bigger than me, probably too heavy for me to bowl over myself… “Don’t worry,” Anna told me in a low voice, interrupting my flow
Nadia I had no interest in getting involved in the princess’s little games. I didn’t want to take part in any relationship drama or petty conflicts. In fact, I didn’t even want to be Kael’s training partner anymore. Despite Freda’s faux-sympathetic effort to put me down, she was kind of doing me a
Nadia I arrived at my combat training class the next morning feeling exhausted and emotionally worn out. Students stared and whispered when I walked onto the field. Professor Orion, as muscular and scruffy-jawed as ever, wasn’t much better. “All healed up, then?” he said to me with an awkward jovi
I knew from my studies that Alphas now governed each individual packs themselves, ever since the war killed the Lycan Queen and King who once ruled over all the werewolves.

Now way in hell was I going to let that happen.Orion issued another whistle. “Any day now, pups.”Anna lunged.She threw her claws out at me first, slashing low toward my face. I bent out of the way, but she was too quick—worryingly so. I wasn’t fast enough to avoid all of her. Nails connected with
KaelKael should have stepped in sooner.As Orion’s assistant, it was part of his duty to prevent accidents during training. To stop any of the pent up students from taking it too far with one another. But Nadia’s endurance had shocked him. Intrigued him.He had let it go too far, too caught up in w
NadiaFor a moment, Vincent was silent. He didn’t want to tell me the truth—that much was clear by the shift in his feet.
