EBONY’S POV:I asked him what he was doing in my apartment, he told me that they wanted to check something and after a while he left. Well, it was the only thing I truly remembered from what happened the previous day.When I woke up the next day, I felt refreshed. The sun didn’t rise yet and I spent minutes trying to make sense of everything. IT took me hours to remember everything and when I did, I was shocked.I told him that Frederick was the one who made me an addict, not his father.“Are you alright?” Rachel asked.“Yes, I am. Thank you. I will resume my shift. Don’t worry about me. I am fine now. What happened won’t happen again.”She nodded.We both resumed working. I felt refreshed and different. However, what Adolphus did actually reminds me of his future one. He just stood there, watching me, not even a hint to betray his thoughts. It was like in those cells.We sat, opposite each other and he watched me. I could tell that it was a long habit of his.Two men were sitting in

I knew what my wolf wanted from me and I knew the decision I had to make was the only one I could make. She was right in everything and yet, I wanted to find another path, another way.I wasn’t free from my future as much as I thought I was.Thinking about it, even when my wolf wasn’t around, there was still that voice in my head that was my opposite. When I used to sit in my office and look at the documents and the work I had to do, there were two voices in my head.The voice, my voice and the dominating one that told me to please Frederick. But there was also another voice telling me to look at everything in its face and confront him for what he was doing to me. In the end, even if I was human, even humans had two voices, which made it hard to live.Now, I was telling my wolf I didn’t want to apologise and she was telling me that we must apologise.‘C’mon! You can’t do this. If I could take control, I would have done it in your stead.’Aren’t you supposed to be me? Aren’t you suppos

EBONY’S POV:I’m so fucked.I don’t know how to react to this situation.I didn’t expect them both to be behind me.‘It’s funny. You were pretty loud with all the choosing. Now, they’re the ones laughing.’You think they’re laughing.I raised my head slowly, ashamed of what I was caught doing. The book sat on my lap while I rested on a normal chair for once. I got into their apartment and before knowing it, they were sitting around me. I could see that they were fighting their laughter.“So, what made you want to apologise?” Alice asked.Did she have to phrase it like that?It was horrible to admit it.“Don’t forget, sis! She wanted to apologise without saying sorry. Question correctly: what made you want to apologise without saying sorry?”The damn bastard! He was smirking. I was sure about it and he wasn’t even hiding it.I took a deep breath and exhaled loudly.“Look! I have my reasons for pushing you. You said yourself that you’d die. I was terrified that all fingers would point a

I grabbed a pen, my notebook I might turn into a diary and wrote down all the events I remembered from my life. I made sure to be as detailed as possible, to know who were my enemies and who were my allies.I didn’t leave anything out. Even the hurtful moments, I wrote them down.There were a few things that got me confused, especially around my last moments. How was Adolphus able to get the vial he gave me?I could still remember how he gave me hope with it; he said that dying was better than staying alive in a dungeon. I was sure he told me the reason why Frederick kept him in the dungeons. And yet, I couldn’t remember. It was like there was something blocking me from remembering what he said.I remembered the way he sat, when he talked but the rest, it was as if the world turned silent.“So I assume I stayed behind because you were in Nialliv’s body?”‘It seems so.’I wrote it down. It was kinda satisfying to realise that Nialliv not only lost her wolf, she would be wolfless for th

I didn’t realise that it was easy to convince the examiner.I was standing in front of that girl, Rosalinda. I would never let anyone who badmouthed me go untouched. If they intended to give me something, I should give back in return. It was never good to take without giving back. It was distasteful.Everyone had their eyes on me, sneering, whispering, slandering. I was sure I just painted a huge target on my back. However, I couldn’t care less when they accused me of things I didn’t do.I stretched for a bit, doing some light warm-up exercises before I was ready. The examiner approached me, worry on his face. I didn’t think that someone like him would be worried about someone like me.“Are you sure you want to do this, Miss Bronfall?”“Yes,” I nodded. “I am well-aware that if I don’t prove to them I am no pushover, they will keep coming at me.”“Everyone around here is trained from a young age, Miss Bronfall. You arrived four months ago and you didn’t undergo any training.”“Don’t w
