Aiva's POV Everyone ran out as soon as the classes were over. They all seemed excited and curious because the list for the combat competition is out and they get to see who the person paired with me is. That must be thrilling for them to see. I packed my books and made my way to the locker amidst all the running around and shouting. It's not in my interest to start explaining myself to anyone. I put my books in my locker and shut it. Then I made my way outside to check the bulletin board. I heard a lot of murmuring as I passed by. When I got there, a lot of people were there. "She's here!" Someone announced and they all dispersed to make way for me. I made my way to the board to see who I was paired with in the first round and I almost laughed when I saw it. I didn't flinch at all because I already saw this coming. They just want to get rid of me at all costs. I didn't think some of the professors here will be in on this. They can't wait to see me out this badly? I didn't know

Leo's POVI couldn't take my eyes off Aiva even though I have to keep acting like I don't know her. It's finally the day everything will stop. I got her into this mess and the least I can do is to let her concentrate. I missed her a lot these past few days and I just wanted to talk to her. I didn't think she would get mad like that. I missed touching her and it drove me crazy. She took the training way too seriously and didn't bother to take care of herself. She also doesn't pay much attention to me and we hardly talk. I just wanted to spend time with her yesterday even if it means we won't be seeing much later. I felt angry and guilty when she said those words to me so I just stayed away from her. I didn't pick her up her calls or reply her text. I just made sure to send people to check on her. I got her into this mess, I should be considerate. "Alpha, Luna's brother is here." Reed whispered to me before the announcer announced that Jasper came. I looked towards his direction and

Aiva's POV "Wait... Where are you taking me? This is not the direction of the house." I asked as I got alarmed. He nodded, "Yes, Luna. I'm taking you to the pack house as instructed by the Alpha." I took a deep breath after he explained. I suddenly got scared for no reason and thought I was being taken to get killed. I don't know why but everyone just seems suspicious these days. "Did you think I was trying to do something funny Luna?" He asked and I felt embarrassed to say something. "I'm sorry, I'm just overthinking things these days." I told him. "I understand Luna. I wouldn't dare do anything to disrespect or hurt you. Unless I don't value my life and my family's life." I didn't expect it to be that deep. Would they do something to his family if he hurts me? I wonder why his family should have to pay for his crimes. Thinking about the main situation at hand, why is Leo asking him to bring me to the pack house? I thought I would see him sometime later. It's not that I'm com

Aiva's POVThis is a typical behavior for Cassie. I'm guessing something happened in the pack and she's trying to blame me for it. I crossed my arm, letting out a frustrated sigh. Jasper just stared at her in awe. "You're amazing Cassie. Your pack is doomed because of me? I'm not even the Luna yet. How's that possible?" I questioned her. She scoffed, "You're not the Luna yet but you won't even get a chance to become one thanks to the people dying because of you."I uncrossed my arm in shock, I stood up to face her properly. "What did you just say? Who died because of me?" She sneered, "Don't act like you don't know. In our pack, even rogues are welcome as long as they are not evil. The rough lower ranked wolves have been disappearing and found dead with the same damn message!" Jasper stood up, seeing the seriousness in Cassie's statement. "They've been arriving dead with the same message? And what does it say?" "BRING ME AIVA'S BLOOD AND I'LL STOP." Cassie relayed in the most cre

Aiva's POV I finally logged in to the official website and saw the person I was paired with. This is a male student who everyone knows to be very powerful. Sometimes, I feel like they're always doing this on purpose to get me out of the competition. Pairing me with people who are way beyond me. Then again, this is a completion so something like this is expected. I woke up early to get on my training since the match will be tomorrow. It was hard for me to fall asleep. Leo and I talked about the masked man yesterday. It was scary at first that I had to find him myself but then I had people to protect. I don't know if he's trying to be fake but I know his scent. I shouldn't have hidden it from Leo. He got so mad yesterday. I'm not hiding things from him again for sure. I went back to the house after my morning training to prepare for the academy. "Do you need to go today? Don't you just want to stay home and rest?" Leo asked, seeing me prepare for school. I shook my head, "If I sit
