Semua Bab Luna At Alpha Academy: Bab 81 - Bab 85

Maybe finally I can get some answers about this damned pill. Joseph’s friends lunge at me from opposite sides. They’re wolves are smaller than Joseph’s wolf, but they compensate with speed, pressing hard with the advantage of two against one. Their movements are sharp, and wild but not unnatural. I weave between them, my body flowing like water while my mind observes every twitch, every strike, every irregular surge of power from that cursed pill. It’s a hassle, but this is the closest I’ve been to understanding it since that night. In less than two minutes, I’ve learned enough. I coat my fist with pressure and drive it into the wolf charging from the right. The impact cracks the air like thunder, and he flies headfirst into a tree, crumpling at its base with a sickening thud. Out cold. The other wolf hesitates, stunned. That’s all I need. In a blur, I’m behind him, slamming him to the ground with bone-crushing force. My hand locks his wrist, twisting behind his back until the j

They don’t strike Aithon, not at all. Instead, they gather at the base of one of its horns. I freeze. “Is that… a rune? Are they trying to activate it?” My mind races back.

My wolf snarls in disbelief. “Do you want to die?” I ask no one in particular. The shield flickers back into place,

The pain sharpens to a razor edge, piercing through bone, muscle, and thought until I can’t stand it anymore. My wolf snarls inside me. I bare my teeth, swing my sword in a wide arc, and release a storm of pressure blades. The wizards drop instantly. Their chanting cuts off, and the headache vanishes like a switch being flipped. I breathe hard, forcing myself upright, but my sight is still blurry, colors bleeding together. “Ughh…” I groan, swaying. That spell nearly tore my head ap- Something sharp punches into my chest, cold and burning all at once. The smell hits me before the pain fully registers. Wolfsbane. Agony explodes through me. - Darkness weighs heavy on me. Every breath feels like swallowing glass. Through the haze, I hear it… a sob. A sound so broken it tugs at something deep inside me, deeper than pain. I force my eyes open, just for a heartbeat. The world blurs, but I catch the outline of a girl leaning over me. Her face is wet with tears, her voice shaking as s
