Semua Bab Honor in the House of Wolves: Bab 11 - Bab 17

I was thrown down for the tenth time today. This time I stayed down. Apparently, fighting against the boys was the first true lesson they wanted to throw at us. We had spent the week following their orders and now we had to finally face off against someone far larger than us. When we arrived at this other base we were surprised at how much better put together it was. The buildings were far better maintained and they had actual sidewalks.On our way here we were once again reaffirmed of the secrecy of our mission. Lyra it seemed, was going to be a permanent fixture in the shadows. With the ever-looming threat of instant death or the slower suffocation over our heads, no one dared to talk about it.“This fucking sucks!” Sylis cursed picking herself up, “how the fuck are we meant to be stronger than you?” Compared to how our other training had been going this was honestly far less structured. We were self-guided the whole day able

Our days continued on. We thought it would change more but really we just saw the counsellors less. Granted we focused on specific weapon training now and I was allowed to focus on a spear, but apart from that everything else was the same. That is until a month passed.

Dreyma gets to use her training. I feel like everything that I worked toward before was useless.” “How do you mean?” “Yesterday I spent an hour learning how to brew tea.” “Did you notice if it was different to how yo

I willed it into existence. I was finally back on that balcony facing toward the castle. The sky filled with those stars and next to me, that husk of shadows was looking up at them. “I was worried.” He spoke low refusing to look my way. “Still looking for me?” I leaned back, resting my arms on the ledge. “Every single day.” his head sank with a defeat that was as somber as his words. He sounded defeated. “What’s wrong?” I reached out to touch him but he shrank away. “I’m here now.” He nodded, “You’ll be gone again before sunrise.” “So let’s have fun now.” I twirled my fingers through my hair playfully but honestly, I was losing sight of how to flirt. It had been two years since needing to tap into those skills and they were getting rusty. I hoped I could be forgiven for the awkwardness but the air was still clinging to that heavy loss.  “Why can’t we find you?” He finally turned to me. “Y
