All Chapters of Scarred by fate : Chapter 211 - Chapter 220

Zahra's POVWhen the bike beeps again, I stop. My eyes drift over to four huge warriors at the edge of the gym, arms folded like they’re sizing me up. I try not to stare.Edwardo smiles at me. “Your preliminary numbers are excellent, Zahra. Grab some water and rest for a minute. Then you and I will spar. I want to see what you can do when it’s not just a quick knockout. If that goes well, we might progress to double opponents. Sound good?”I shrug. “Sure, why not.”He hands me a water bottle, and I cool down for a bit. Then we head to another area beyond the lobby: an indoor sparring room with several mats, two boxing rings, and a line of punching bags facing windows. The view outside is breath-taking—towering trees that make me feel almost like I’m outdoors.It’s bus

Zahra's POVThe moment my breathing steadies, Edwardo explodes forward, crossing the distance faster than I expect. I drop low, pivoting on my toes to slide under his arm, but Henry is already there, blocking my escape. He sweeps my legs from beneath me, yet I twist as I fall, landing on my hands and flipping backward before either man can pin me.A rumble of approval rolls through the onlookers.I refuse to come down. Instead, I use the momentum to launch higher, spinning mid-air before letting Zanthe fully take over.My body shatters. Fur rips through flesh, bones stretching and reshaping in seconds. Zanthe completes the shift before she even hits the ground. She lands, paws thudding against the earth, claws digging into the dirt as she skids back a few feet. I push forward to join her in this form, the merged state still disorienting but easier than it used to be.Gasps ripple through the audience.“Shit,” someone mutters.We shake out our thick white fur, spine loosening as we dro

Zahra's POVTobias led me back to the Beta residence, told me to shower and change, then asked me to meet him on the other side of the castle in the King’s offices. Easy enough, right? Wrong.The problem is, I have never been on this side of the castle before, and I am now fairly sure I am completely, utterly lost.I have been walking forever—or at least it feels like it. Every corridor looks the same, stretching out like some kind of fancy, never-ending maze. The walls are lined with those ridiculous high-mullioned windows that probably cost a fortune, plush carpets that make my steps annoyingly silent, and absolutely no helpful signs. Every so often, I pass some serious-looking wolves in suits who barely glance my way. There are too many unfamiliar scents in the air, which means I cannot track Tobias or the King either. Fantastic. I am definitely late.Just when I start considering sitting on the floor and accepting my fate as a lost cause, I spot a door labelled; “Beta Office.” Fin

Zahra's POV“There is a second part to the prophecy.”King James and Tobias both sit up straighter, their attention locked on her.Angelica’s voice drops slightly, carrying the weight of something ancient.“In order to defeat the enemy, this daughter of Selene will bring about the return of the Lycans, and her son will be the new Lycan King—ruler of the supernatural world once more.”I stare at her.Then I burst out laughing.“Pffft—hahaha!”Tobias smirks, his eyes twinkling in amusement, and even King James’s lips twitch at the corner.Angelica, however, looks like she just sucked on a lemon.“That’s ridiculous,” I say, wiping a tear from my eye. “Everyone knows there’s no such thing as Lycans.”The silence in the room is deafening.I stop laughing.Wait...I glance at King James, whose expression is now far too serious.“Well, actually,” he says slowly, “there are… or rather, there were.”My stomach drops.Angelica speaks as if I never interrupted, her voice as smooth and unwavering

Tobias's POVDad sits in one of the armchairs in my office, looking serene and kingly as he gazes out the window. We came here to give Zahra and Angelica some privacy, but I feel like my insides are melting. My mate has a prophesied destiny. She has to stand against a dark threat aimed at the kingdom, and on top of that, she is going to trigger the return of the Lycans.Dad used to tell me stories about the old Lycan kings who supposedly died out long ago, and how some scholars believe fragments of their bloodlines remain. That is why certain Alphas are stronger, including our own bloodline, which would explain why Dad and I have such large wolf forms and why our family has ruled unchallenged for so long.It was only a few years ago that I learned all supernatural’s once lived under one unified kingdom. The prospect of bringing them together again under a single crown is mildly terrifying. They have each grown used to their own autonomy, so it is not like they will just hand that power
