“Well, well, well…” Her blood ran cold.

“Isn’t this the confined bride?”

Kaden’s voice dripped with mockery as he shut the door behind him, arms folding across his chest. The lantern illuminated his smug grin—and her pale face.

“What are you doing in my room at this hour?” he drawled. “Surely you aren’t here to beg for mercy.”

Philipa swallowed hard, instinctively stepping backward as he advanced.

He took one step forward. She retreated.

Another step. Until her back hit the edge of the bed. His

    The two elders behind him remained silent, but their sharp gazes were fixed entirely on Philipa.Like judges already passing sentence.Mark cleared his throat from beside the desk.A satisfied smile stretched across his face as he addressed the newcomers.“Perfect timing, Sir Boorman.”He gestured toward Philipa.“As you can see, the deception has been uncovered.”His voice carried pride.“The female infiltrator who dared to violate the academy’s sacred laws… has finally been exposed.”Boorman stepped fully into the office, the faint torchlight from the corridor stretching long shadows across the room.His eyes rested on Philipa in Draven’s arms.Slowly… a satisfied smile spread across his thin lips.“So,” he said calmly, clasping his hands behind his back, again “the truth has finally come to light.”The two elders behind him stepped inside as well, their sharp eyes studying Philipa like scholars examining a rare specimen.Mark nodded eagerly.“Yes, Sir. The deception—”Boorman lifted a

    Draven stood still for a moment after Mark’s threat.The room seemed to grow heavier.Mark’s grin stretched wider, almost unhinged, as he watched Draven’s back.Slowly… Draven turned.His eyes were calm—but the calm carried something far more dangerous than rage.Mark chuckled.“Ah… so you do understand what I mean.”Of course Draven understood.Every wolf raised under the ancient laws knew the punishment.A female disguising herself as a male to enter the academy.Deception of the council. Violation of sacred order.The punishment was simple... Execution before sunrise.Draven knew the law. But he also knew something else.He would never let it happen. He said nothing.Instead, he turned again toward the door and reached for the handle.Mark’s laughter rang out again.“You’re not leaving.” Draven paused.Mark wiped blood from his lip, still smiling.“There’s no point trying.”His voice carried a cruel satisfaction.“Mr. Boorman and several elders are already on their way here.”The wor

    Rowan grabbed his shoulders as Draven clutched his chest in pain.“What’s wrong?!”Draven’s breathing turned ragged.Something inside him was pounding violently.Like a heartbeat that wasn’t his own.Again. And again... And again.His vision blurred.“Damn it…” he growled under his breath.The sensation kept repeating, sharper each time.Pain... Fear... And desperation.Then suddenly— It stopped.Draven’s head snapped up.His eyes burned with realization.“…Jordan.”Rowan barely had time to react before Draven tore away from him and sprinted the final steps down the corridor.They reached Mark’s office.Draven didn’t hesitate. He kicked the door open with explosive force.The wood slammed against the wall.The sight inside made his blood boil instantly.Philipa lay curled on the floor.Bruised. Groaning. And Mark stood over her.For a split second the entire room went silent.Then Draven stepped forward.And the air in the room changed completely.For a heartbeat after the door burst

    "Tell me,” he continued, his voice rising. “How does it feel to be outsmarted in your own little game of deception?”Philipa’s chest rose and fell rapidly.She tasted blood in her mouth.“I asked you a question!” Mark roared.SMACK!The second slap was even harder.Her chair tipped sideways and she collapsed onto the floor, catching herself with shaking hands.Across the room Kaden leaned back further in his chair, watching with clear enjoyment.Philipa forced herself not to cry out.Not in front of him. Never in front of him.Mark paced slowly in front of her.“You deceived this entire academy,” he said coldly. “You deceived your family. You deceived the laws of our kind.”His voice dripped with disgust.“All for what? Your selfish ambition?”Philipa’s fingers curled into the floor.“You she-wolves…” he continued with venom. “Always reaching for things that were never meant for you.”His eyes burned with hatred.“You have no right to be seen in this world of power. No right to be heard.”

    The corridor stretched long and quiet before them.Philipa walked a few steps behind Mr. Mark, her hands clasped loosely in front of her as she tried to keep her breathing steady. Their footsteps echoed softly against the stone floor, the only sound breaking the silence of the late hour.Usually the academy halls were filled with noise—students laughing, arguing, rushing between rooms—but tonight everything felt unnaturally still.Too still.Philipa kept her gaze forward, though her thoughts were anything but calm.Why did he summon me?Her mind ran through every possible mistake she could have made.Had someone discovered something?Had someone seen her when she tried to escape?Or worse… Had someone begun to suspect what she truly was?She forced herself to swallow the rising fear and kept walking.Ahead of her, Mr. Mark’s pace remained steady, his hands folded behind his back as though this late-night walk was the most ordinary thing in the world.The silence between them only made

    The quiet that followed their closeness felt almost sacred.For a long moment neither Philipa nor Draven moved.The candle burning on the small desk cast a warm, wavering glow across the stone walls, softening the harsh edges of the academy dormitory. Outside the narrow window the night was deep and still, the moon hanging pale and distant above the training grounds.Philipa lay against Draven’s chest, her breathing slowly evening out as exhaustion finally began to pull at her. The past few days had taken everything from her—grief, fear, anger, and the relentless effort of pretending she was strong enough to carry it all.Draven’s arm rested around her shoulders, holding her close without pressure, as though afraid she might break if he held too tightly. His other hand moved slowly through her hair, the motion quiet and absentminded, almost instinctive.For once, his thoughts were not racing.For once, the world outside this small room did not exist.Philipa closed her eyes, listening
