All Chapters of Scarred by fate : Chapter 191 - Chapter 200

Zahra's POVTonight, I’m having dinner in the Beta Suite with my Uncle Nicholas, Aunt Kayla, and Cousin Alice. Aiden is off doing something with Tobias and the others, and honestly, I’m grateful for the quieter evening. I’m completely exhausted after today. My hands are sore from gripping ropes on the obstacle course, and every muscle in my body is screaming after the sparring sessions. Zanthe is working overtime to heal me, her usual chatter absent as she focuses on mending the damage.As we eat, Uncle Nicholas looks at me and says, “In the morning, Zahra, we’ll head back over for the continuation of the challenges. Then, during the camp’s break, Baxter wants to test you himself in some combat moves.”I raise an eyebrow, half-dreading what "testing" with Baxter might entail. Nicholas continues, “After lunch, there’s a lecture on pack politics. You’re welcome to attend, but I think Alice and Princess Charlotte have something planned instead.”He glances at Alice, who is grinning so wid

Zahra's POVEduardo’s voice booms, “Go!” and he punches the stopwatch.We begin circling each other. Brant moves like a predator—his muscles coiled; every step deliberate. I take my time, watching and analysing his movements, refusing to make the first move but acutely aware of the clock ticking down. My nerves start to prickle, but Zanthe’s voice cuts through the doubt.‘Don’t think like that. If you beat him, he might recommend you to the academy as well. Hunker down and show him what you’re made of.’She’s my biggest cheerleader, and as always, she’s right. If I can impress Alpha Brant, it might really help my application.No pressure, right?Brant lunges, his powerful muscles exploding into movement. He comes at me with fists flying, faster than a wolf his size usually is. I block his hits with my arms, but each strike feels like being hit by a charging bull. The sheer force of it reverberates through my bones, and I know I can’t let him keep up this barrage.‘Go on the offense,’

Zahra's POVAs the crowd parts to let me through, I spot Alice and Charlotte up ahead, both grinning like fools. Alice squeals the moment I get closer, practically bouncing in place.“That was amazing! I’ve never seen anyone take Tobias down before!”I huff out a laugh, shaking my head. “Thanks, but let’s not make a big deal out of it, okay?” The last thing I need right now is an even bigger target on my back.Thankfully, Kayla steps in to rescue me from the barrage of excitement. “Here, have some water, a protein bar, and a banana. You must be starving after that!”I smile up at her, genuinely grateful. “Thank you! Yeah, I really am.”As we head back toward the picnic tables outside the cabins, my body begins to remind me of the toll the morning has taken. Every muscle is screaming, and Zanthe is working overtime to heal the bruises I didn’t even realize I had.Before I can fully collapse into relaxation, Baxter comes jogging up to us. “Zahra, wait a moment.”I pause mid-step, my sto

Zahra's POVKayla tosses me a large t-shirt, which I scramble to pull on, grateful for the cover. Around me, everyone else is shifting back as well, my brother and his friends grabbing shorts to pull on.“You have your wolf?” Zach’s voice is quiet, his expression unreadable as he steps toward me.I nod, unable to meet his eyes. He doesn’t say anything else, just stares at me, his brow furrowed.Tobias approaches, his voice softer than I’ve ever heard it. “Are you alright?”I nod again, but inside, I’m reeling. Everyone knows I have a wolf now. And I just killed… a lot.“She was amazing,” Jasper says, stepping forward with a small smile. “Killed several rogues in her human form, then fought like a berserker as a wolf.”I flush at the praise, unsure how to respond.“Was that the first time you’ve shifted?” he asks, his eyes kind and warm. “Your wolf saved your life—he would have snapped your neck if you hadn’t shifted.”“What?!” Tobias, Aiden and Marcus yell in unison, their voices echo

Xander's POV“Did we lose anyone?” I ask as we approach Aiden.He shakes his head, and the relief that floods through me is almost overwhelming. “No fatalities on our side,” he says. “But there are several serious injuries. Some of the younger teams from smaller packs took bad hits. They’re already in the infirmary.”I let out a breath I didn’t realize I was holding. “Thank fuck,” I mutter, earning a nod from Aiden. No deaths. Thank the Goddess.The guys and I part ways with Seb and Max as we reach our cabins. Inside, the Mystic Shadow team is already there, looking worse for wear despite being mostly clean.“You guys all, okay?” I ask, noting the sombre expressions on their faces.West, their Alpha, looks up. “Our Delta, Rick, is in the infirmary. The doctor’s hopeful, but he was in bad shape.”“I’m sorry,” I say sincerely. “I hope he recovers quickly.”West offers a faint smile and a nod before turning back to his team. The cabin feels heavy with unspoken worry, and I lead my team t
