INICIAR SESIÓN{The Assembly of Fools}The tall ceiling of the Great Assembly Hall reflected the loud and heated discussions of thirty senior Alphas.Sheryl stood on the raised marble platform at the front of the room, her hands tightly clasped in front of her. She wore a high-collared silk blouse, buttoned all the way to her chin to cover the dark purple marks on her neck left by Aiden. Her face showed stiff anger, but inside, she was filled with a deep, humiliating rage.Beside her on the platform stood Robby and Hector. Both Beta boys were trembling like leaves, their faces bruised, their hands bandaged, looking like terrified survivors forced to testify before a war tribunal."Look at them!" Sheryl's loud, raspy voice rang out across the hall, drawing every eye to the front. "Look at what our so-called Lycan Princes did to two loyal students of Brentwood!"The gathered Alphas shifted in their seats, whispering furiously among themselves."They dragged Dave Miller across the gym floor like an ani
{The Lions' Den}Aiden didn't bother wiping the blood off his skin before slamming through the double doors of the High Council Chamber.The large mahogany doors slammed against the stone walls with a loud noise. He walked directly to the middle of the horseshoe shape, took a heavy carved leather chair, and dragged it across the marble floor, making a screech that caused half of the pack elders to wince.He turned the chair around, sat in it backward, and put his muddy, blood-stained combat boots directly on the polished table—right in the middle of Lord Miller's important family papers.His red hair was messy and wet with sweat, and dark blood was spread across his jaw and knuckles. His uniform jacket was unbuttoned, showing his strong chest.Mr. Aaron stood quietly behind him, holding his silver cane with his hands folded, and shaking his head a little. The butler understood that Aiden was trying hard to test the elders as much as possible—and it was succeeding."Aiden," a stern v
{The Sun of the Family}"What is going on here?"The loud, clear voice broke the heavy silence of the quiet hallway like glass hitting the ground.Adam didn't step back from Betty. His wide back stayed in place, and his tall shadow covered her small figure against the wall, but he turned his head casually to look over his shoulder.Silver stood at the entrance of the nearby art wing. Her golden hair was gathered into a loose, messy bun, held in place by a thin wooden paintbrush.She wore a heavy linen apron covered in streaks of blue, white, and yellow paint over her plain clothes. A small mark of dried blue paint was on her left cheek. Her bright golden eyes were focused on them, and her brow was furrowed in a serious, questioning expression.Adam's lips curved into a smooth, effortless grin. "Just the person I was looking for."Silver wiped her hands on her apron, her eyes narrowing as she took in the scene. She hadn't intended to leave her easel today. For the past three hours,
{The Queen's Rally}Sheryl moved slowly down the quiet hallway in the senior wing, holding her throat with her fingers as if she were trying to keep her breath in.Her legs felt heavy and shook with every step on the smooth floor. The taste of blood was still in her mouth, and her throat throbbed with a painful heat.Every roughed breath sent a sharp sting through her neck, reminding her of the cold, unhinged eyes that had stared down at her while his fingers squeezed the life out of her.'He almost killed me,' Sheryl felt angry, and her chest was tight as tears filled her eyes. 'A Lycan Prince almost slaughtered me in the middle of the school.'"Sheryl!" a panicked voice cried out from down the hall.Tessy, Vivian, and Jamie came sprinting around the corner, their faces pale with worry. They had been waiting near the main entrance, growing desprate when she didn't return from the gym."Sheryl! Oh my god, are you okay?!" Jamie gasped, catching her by her waist to steady her.Vivian re
{The Calm Before the Storm}Betty let out a long, roughed breath, her chest trembling as Adam finally released his grip on Ruby.On the floor, Ruby looked like a frightened, broken animal. She lay on her side, clutching her throat with both hands, dark red bruises already blooming across her skin where Adam's fingers had dug in.Despite Everything...despite the violent slap, the vile insults, and the constant torment....Betty couldn't stop the wave of empathy that washed over her. She took a slow, hesitant step forward, keeping her voice low and gentle."Ruby..." Betty murmured, her blue eyes filled with genuine concern. "Are you... are you okay?"Ruby's head snapped toward her, her bloodshot eyes burning with absolute hatred. "Don't touch me!" she rasped, her voice raw and ruined from the choking. "Don't you dare come near me, you filthy bitch!"Behind Betty, Adam scoffed, rolling his broad shoulders with total nonchalance. He looked at Betty like she had lost her mind. He hadn't e
{The Apex Predator}The folding metal chair made a loud screech that echoed on the gym floor.Aiden didn't care. He sat on it backward, spreading his long legs wide, resting his forearms across the metal backrest. His bright red hair was wet, stuck to his forehead with sweat, and a thin streak of dark blood ran down the side of his jaw. He looked up at Sheryl with a lazy, unhinged grin that showed too many teeth.He was entirely unbothered.Sheryl stood a few feet away, her arms folded tightly over her chest, her fingers digging so hard into her uniform jacket that her knuckles showed white. Her bright purple eyes were focused on him, filled with a mix of disbelief and strong anger."Look at you," Sheryl spat, her voice tight, trembling with rage. "You look like a wild animal. You just broadcasted a Beta getting slaughtered on the school's private server! Have you completely lost your mind, Aiden?!"Aiden let out a short, breathy laugh. He didn't even blink. "I don't know, Princess.
{The Price of a Secret}The first hit on the wood made Betty scream, a rough sound that got stuck in her throat."Where is she? Where is that whoring little stray?"Dave's voice echoed down the hallway, shaking the floorboards in Betty's small attic room.Betty was past the point of fighting. She c
{The Lion's Den}Ruby Miller really did not like Betty at all. As she stood in the nice, tiled-floored entrance of their home, she felt a lump in her throat.She felt that everything about this moment was a nightmare. Ruby was the kind of girl who was way too fake; she could pretend to be a sweet
{THE PRINCES OF BLOOD } Betty was completely sure the guy with golden eyes was going to kill her. The way he stared at her felt not just threatening, but also like it was the end. He moved closer, his boots making noise on the rough ground of the alley. Before she could scream, he grabbed the c
{THE WEIGHT OF SHADOW} It was finally the end of the school day, and Betty walked slowly behind the crowd hurrying down the hall. She understood why someone would want to leave this terrible place called an academy, but she didn't get why everyone seemed so excited to go home. For the other stud
