Rise of Determination

Jasper's POV "I'm curious if you would still be able to act like this if you discovered the true identity of your darling Mia." An unease feeling sparkled inside, my grip tightening around Elise's hair. I wanted to ignore her, to remind myself that she was just trying to get on my nerves but I couldn't. I exchanged curious glances who Jayden who just stepped into the room. "What the fuck do you mean by that?" Her laugh, low and mocking echoed through the room, despite all the pains she must have been feeling. "Oh Jasper," she breathed, her eyes gleaming with so much darkness—one that I could have never thought Elise would have. "You think you know Mia? You think she's just some naive, helpless girl? You have no idea what you've been fucking." A chill ran down my spine. Fucking? She even knows we've been fucking? Was there anything Elise didn't know? She was so quiet around the house, moving like a ghost but she knows so much. Jayden stepped closer, his expression unreadable. "

Breaking point

Mia's POV Pain. Immense pain. The type that rendered the entire body useless was the first thing I felt when I woke up. My body throbbed from the brutal fight with Sylvia the previous day. Every of my muscles and bones protest as I forcefully pushed myself to sit up. The ribs where her kicks had landed stung. "Arghhh," I groaned in pain, placing my hand on the spot. I hadn't won, but I didn't completely lose, either. And the pain was worth it. I remembered the way some of the warriors had silently acknowledged me with their nods and stares, and I could also feel the faint glimmer of their respect. And yet, as I thought about the training ahead, my heart raced with a mix of fear and unease. Zane, the cold, calculating warrior with dark gaze had agreed to train me. I remembered how he had called me weak and promised to help me get stronger. Stronger. I had never bothered about that in the past —even when my life was being threatened while I was with Jasper. I had trusted him to

Mia's POV Zane lunged at me before I could defend myself, and I stumbled to the ground. My legs still trembled slightly, and pain still clung to my muscles from yesterday's training, but I refused to let it slow me down. I stood up quickly, and faced him, my determination unwavering. It's either I win or I win. There was two options about it. I'm not giving up no matter what. Again and again, I moved, dodging, blocking, striking —but I was never fast enough. No matter how I hard I tried, he still won against me. His blows reached me before I knew what was happening, while my own never touched him—he'd sidestepped with ease, and knock me down like a weigh nothing more than a feather. Frustration bubbled inside me. "Focus," Zane snapped, his dark eyes accessing me like a predator. I tightened my fists, facing him head on. "I am focused." "No, you are not," he answered, striking me suddenly. His arms slamming into my stomach, sending me stumbling backwards. My ribs screamed in pr

Danger in the shadows

Mia's POV Thick, suffocating silence stretched between us. I didn't miss the way Elder Seraphina sharp eyes scanned me as if weighing if I could handle the truth. Beside her, Sylvia's mother folded her arms, her expression cold and unwavering. "You think you're ready for the truth?" Seraphina repeated, her tone soft but hinting at condescension. "Jasmine betrayed this pack. She was a traitor who put this pack in harms way and that was why she ran and let you grow up in the filth of the human world." A scoff left my lips before I could stop it. I didn't believe me. I wouldn't believe this bullshit. "That's not true. My mother can be anything.....but a traitor?" I shook my head in disagreement. "No...." Sylvia's mother stepped forward, a sneer curling her lips. "Then why did you think everyone in the Pack is wary of you? Why did you think no one is ever talked about her?" My fists clenched at my sides. I can't believe this manipulative story. I knew my mother—at least, I thought I

The Shocking Truth

Mia's POV I struggled against the grip on my wrist, but the person didn't bulge. Who the hell was that? My heart pounding in my chest as I turned. An elder stood before me, staring at me with cold, sharp calculating eyes that glowly faintly under the dim light of the archives."You shouldn't be here, princess," he repeated again, his voice laced with quiet warning. I looked at him more closely, but he doesn't seemed familiar in anyway though he looked ominous than the other elders I have seen. I tightened my grip on the book while his grip was still on my wrist. "Who are you?" I demanded, my voice sharper and it was something that surprised even me.He didn't answer. Instead his gaze snapped to the book. "Secrets like these should remain buried forever, Princess. You won't remain the same after you read this.""Why?" I demanded, my voice rising in frustration. "What is about mother that y'all are trying so hard to hide? Why are you all being cowards?"Instead of answering, he snatch
