CHAPTER 49: The First Class

Author: Evve
last update publish date: 2026-03-02 03:28:41

POV: Barzil

Discipline wasn't taught. It was forged.

I stood in the center of the Academy’s main training arena. Arms crossed over my chest. Five hundred cadets stood in formation before me—a sea of grey uniforms and nervous energy. The air smelled of hormones, floor wax, and the distinct, acrid scent of fear.

They knew who I was.

I could see it in their eyes. To them, I wasn't just a teacher. I was the Iron Warden. I was the wolf who had held the Northern Perimeter alone for three days. I was

    [POV: Neoma]If love was a bond, then this was the knot that couldn't be untied.The wolf that lunged at me wasn't Barzil. It was a nine-foot avalanche of black fur, muscle, and chemical madness.His jaws were wide enough to crush my skull like an eggshell. His eyes were pits of red hellfire, burning with a hunger that recognized nothing but meat.The air pressure in the ballroom dropped as he displaced the atmosphere with his sheer, terrifying mass.I didn't flinch. I didn't close my eyes.I opened the door.Come home, I screamed silently.I threw my hands out. I didn't create a shield to stop him. I created a gravity well to catch him.Impact.He hit me with the force of a falling building.If I were just human, I would have been paste on the marble floor. My bones would have been powder. But the Void drank the kinetic energy of the impact instantly, turning his momentum into a anchor that locked my feet to the ground. I didn't slide an inch.His jaws snapped shut inches from my fac

  • The Obsidian Covenant #1: The Rejected Mate's Ruin   CHAPTER 109: The Beast Unleashed

    [POV: Barzil]There was no Barzil. Only Hunger. Only Rage.The man-cage shattered.It didn't just break; it exploded from the inside out. The fabric of my dress uniform tore like wet paper, ripping away from the swelling muscle and bone that demanded release. The pain was exquisite—a white-hot fire that burned away the logic, the rules, the Iron Warden.My spine lengthened. Vertebrae popped and fused into a new, horizontal architecture. My jaw unhinged and pushed forward, the human teeth falling out or being swallowed to make room for fangs designed to shear through plate armor.The world turned a swimming, violent red.I was no longer a Commander. I was the Shadow. I was the heavy, crushing weight of the mountain come to life.I threw my head back.The sound that tore from my throat wasn't a roar. It was a weapon. The vibration shattered the crystal chandeliers high above, raining glass down like glittering knives. The noise emptied my lungs of air and filled them with the scent of t

  • The Obsidian Covenant #1: The Rejected Mate's Ruin   CHAPTER 108: The Poisoned Chalice

    [POV: Neoma]The wine was rich, dark, and hid the taste of ruin perfectly.I stood at the long banquet table in the Celestial Spire’s ballroom, my fingers tightening around the stem of the crystal goblet until my knuckles turned white. The room was a kaleidoscope of silk, jewels, and malice.Hundreds of Highbloods moved through the space, their laughter tinkling like broken glass, their scents a cloying mix of expensive perfume and rot.They stared at us.The Vanguard stood in a tight formation near the dais. We were a blot of ink on a page of gold. I wore my black mourning dress, the steel bead in my hair clicking softly against my jaw.Barzil was beside me in his dress uniform, stiff as a board, radiating a heat that wasn't just physical—it was protective anger. Viggo and Wolfy flanked us, their hands nowhere near the hors d'oeuvres and perilously close to their hidden weapons."They look like vultures," Viggo muttered, his eyes tracking a group of nobles whispering behind their fan

  • The Obsidian Covenant #1: The Rejected Mate's Ruin   CHAPTER 107: The Celebration

    [POV: Viggo]We cracked a bottle of cheap synthetic red in the common room. It tasted like chemicals and burned going down, but tonight, it was the best thing I’d ever drunk."You beat a Warlord!" I roared, the sheer disbelief still buzzing in my veins. I grabbed Neoma by the waist and spun her around, lifting her feet off the floor.She laughed, a breathless, surprised sound, gripping my shoulders tight. "Viggo! Put me down! I’m going to be sick!"I set her on the sofa carefully, my hands lingering on her waist for a second too long. She looked like a wreck—dirt-streaked face, torn suit, bruising blooming across her skin like storm clouds—but she was smiling. A real smile. Not the guarded, cynical smirk she used to wear like armor in the Dregs."You made her yield!" I grinned, crouching in front of her. "The Ice Bitch knelt! Did you see her face? Did you see the look in her eyes when you put that knife away?""I saw it," Neoma winced, clutching her side. Her smile faltered into a gri

    [POV: Barzil]Killing her would be easy. Sparing her was a statement.I stood at the edge of the tunnel, my hand locked on the hilt of my sword. The leather grip was slick with my own sweat. The arena was a vacuum—fifty thousand lungs holding a single breath. The silence pressed against my eardrums, heavier than the roar had been.In the center of the sand, Neoma stood over the fallen Commander.Ishara lay paralyzed. The weight of her de-powered armor—two hundred pounds of dead steel—pinned her to the earth. Her eyes were closed. Her neck was bared. She was waiting for the cut.By Highblood law—by the Iron Law that governed every heartbeat of our species—Ishara was dead. She had yielded, yes. But in a duel of honor, the victor claimed the life to cleanse the insult.I waited for it too. My muscles coiled, ready to flinch at the spray of arterial blood. The Dregs taught survival, and survival meant eliminating threats. Ishara was a threat.But Neoma didn't cut.She looked up.Her viole

    POV: NeomaThe Dregs didn't look like hell anymore. Through the red tint of the tactical visor, they looked like data.I crouched behind a slab of collapsed concrete. The heavy Barzil-mesh suit adjusted its temperature, fighting the humid, suffocating heat of the Foundry District.My HUD flashed wi

Past the Spartan steel of the barracks. Into a wing that smelled of lavender and money.The scent was cloying.
