Stella POV One by one everyone went up against Maeva, & each time she'd won. After her 4th knock out her opponents started tapping as soon as they'd hit the ground. Each time she would land a devastating blow Eddie would squeeze my shoulder. I noticed that she kept the advantage by using her feet. Whereas most of the guys were apprehensive about her fighting skills, I couldn't help but be completely astonished by her. Her skills were unlike anything I had ever seen before. My brother had been the only one of her opponents who had lasted more than 5 minutes, but even still, she had managed to take him down. Though she had done it alot easier than the others, she still told him to tap as she took him to the ground. He complied, knowing she didn't want to hurt him any more than she already had. He told her how exceptional she was as she helped him up, and he wasn't wrong. There wasn't an Alpha or warrior student that could stand against her. The Deltas had saved the female

Ronan POV Maeva Thompson. Something was different about her, something special. I couldn't quite put my finger on it though. Yea, she's a highly skilled warrior, possibly the best I've seen this century, but there was something more. I felt pushed to protect her, compelled to keep her safe & happy. I know it's not a mate bond pull, I don't see her that way. But she had quickly become one of my favorite students, & I would protect her at all costs. Seeing her in Dimitri's arms standing in the dinner line angered me, though not in a possessive manner. I suppose I was more afraid that she would open her heart to him, only to have it broken when he found his mate. He's almost 19, & an Alpha. Though he had become impatient when it came to finding his mate, he would find her, & Maeva's pure teenage heart would be broken when she lost him. "Maeva, Alpha Dimitri, how are the 2 of you this evening?" I asked them. I suppose I was glaring at Dimitri as he stood there with his a

Maeva POV I woke up early this morning & decided to go for a jog. I could use the silence & the release before the real work got started today. Yesterday might have been the first official day of school, but it was basically just an introduction day. Today, the real training & learning would start, & the excitement running through my veins needed a release. The sun hadn't even risen yet as I stepped out of the dorms into the courtyard. It was a cool morning, unlike the incredibly humid ones we had in Georgia. I did my usual stretches before heading into the woods to jog through the forest. Although I didn't know the terrain, I let my senses guide me through. For the past 3 years, this is as much running as Gia got to experience, but it kept her from getting too restless as she stayed chained up in the depths of my mind so I didn't mind doing this for her. She had happily sacrificed the little freedom she had for me when my dad died, allowing me to put her on a cha

(1 month later)Stella POV It was a late Friday night when Maeva finally came back from the library, carrying a bunch of books. Her key card allowed her access that students don't normally have, so she was able to roam the library at all hours of the night if she wanted to. She even had access to the sections of books that students normally didn't have access to. I'm not sure what she had been working on, or what it was she was trying to find, but she usually went to the library after we all called it a night & came back with few books that she would spend the rest of the weekend reading through. We had spent earlier in the evening picking out our dresses for the Harvest Fest Formal. I was shocked when she mentioned that she had never been to a school dance before, let alone a formal. We all decided to go as a group, or rather they all decided so that I wouldn't feel left out. I'm sure they're all thinking "oh poor Stella has no one to go to the formal with" because th

Maeva POV After the revelations of my & Stella's secrets we continued about our day. We trained the Omegas & Scholars that wanted training just like we usually do. I had asked Headmaster Ronan during the first week of school if I could do training classes for those who don't normally receive training & he agreed to let. These days that's what I spent most of my time doing when not in classes. Dimitri didn't particularly like that we didn't get much time together because of it, but he still helped regardless. He also didn't like that I split my mealtimes between them & my Omega friends, so he started joining me when I sat with them. They were hesitant at first, but now it seems as if they are becoming friends. I just hope his dad doesn't give him hell over it when he goes home for Christmas break. I also hoped that he would continue his friendly attitude towards the Omegas while he was home on his pack lands. After training was a group dinner. I really enjoyed the
