Chapter 21: I Want To

ALEX“Well, see you soon, Adrian.”Rachel tosses a lazy wave over her shoulder.I watch in silence as she walks off with her pack. “This is the part where you follow suite” Adrian spits, and for the first time since this far from pleasant reunion, the smile on Callum’s face drops. “I meant what I said, Old friend. I do look forward to seeing you at the Convergence. Perhaps we can finally settle some old scores.”“We can settle it right now—”“Liam” Adrian puts an arm out, stopping him before he can continue. “Leave, Callum.”He scoffs.But that's about all he can do before he turns to leave, fading into the treeline alongside his pack soon after. Unsurprisngly, the training grounds are dead silent afterwards.They might be gone, but their threat-laced invitation hangs like smoke. Heavy and bitter, poisoning the air.Every muscle in the pack tightens.But none more than Adrian’s.His aura spikes for half a second.Sharp enough to make my already-throbbing wounds burn again, before

Chapter 22: Show Me

ADRIANIt's been a couple hours.Nah. It's felt like a couple hours, but the truth is, an entire day's passed. Since Callum's unwelcome visit and his far from welcome invitation. Unnerving as it is to admit, I haven't been able to get my mind off any part of it. I've been sitting in the kitchen for the past half hour, making cereal even though I have no appetite.My head keeps banging with that same, awful reminder. One month.In one month, I'll have to face it… again. “Fuck me man” I groan. Because I still remember.Every single detail about this goddamned event. And even if I didn't, my wolf won't let me forget. Logan. His scent. His eyes. His entire being. The last Convergence happened half a decade ago, and when he returned from it, everything about him had changed. That was the beginning. The beginning of his end. Now I’m expected to return there.As Alpha of Alphas, no less.The milk carton suddenly disappears from my hand.“Adrian.”Liam’s voice slices cleanly thr

Chapter 23: Dangerous Games

ALEXThe Clan Superstore smells like flour, fresh herbs, and too many bodies in one place. I've been here a couple times. Maybe just a handful when I was with Micah and the Blood Moons. Neutral ground or not, I’ve never liked it.Even with my mask on, I always felt too many eyes glance in my direction .And now that I no longer wear it, it's like their stolen glances have tripled.If I could've avoided this place, I would’ve. But Maya quite literally dragged me alongside her on our way here.Quiet as she may seem, she's very persistent.My eyes drift to her as he pushes a metal cart ahead of us, humming under her breath. “The sugar's not gonna be enough” she says to an Omega beside her. “Please double it.”Two other omegas flank off her, holding the list Liam approved this morning. Speaking of which…I glance back and his outline’s traceable just in front of tinted glass doors. He didn't have to come here. From what I heard, whenever Maya's on duty, he comes down anyway.Return

Chapter 24: The Plan

ADRIANThere it is.Peace. And QuietI sink deeper into the bathtub, letting the warmth swallow my shoulders, my chest, my thoughts. The steam curls around the rim like a blanket, and for the first time in days, my muscles loosen. My head tips back. My eyes close.Slowly, everything stops. The noose of responsibility, the weight of expectations, the crushing grip of fear. It's just a bath, but it almost feels like stepping into a different realm. Weightless. Soundless. If I could live here, submerged in this heat and silence, maybe I would.But the moment peace settles, a memory comes creeping in with it.A memory that's still plaguing my psyche.Logan.I exhale, slow and heavy, letting the name drift through me like a cold current.What exactly happened at that Convergence?All I remember was that he lost. To Jasmine and Callum of all people. No one expected it. Least of all him.Could that explain why Callum's a whole lot stronger and faster than I remember?Tch. Well, whatever

Chapter 25: Easter Egg

ADRIANThe moment I push the doors open, the noise dies.Not gradually, like people choosing to settle down.It cuts off. Sharp. Clean. Immediate.Like wolves torn between the yoke of fear and chains of respect.A hundred eyes swing to me. Some lower their gazes instantly. Some hold it for a second longer than necessary. Asessing me. Testing me. And others… flicker with curiosity. With expectation.With hope.The training hall feels smaller. Tighter. As if the walls themselves are waiting to see how this will play outWe haven't used in here in ages. I guess arranging training here at all already tells of how important this moment is.Liam stands in the center of the room, hands behind him, expression neutral. But from the slight furrow in his brow, he too knows exactly how delicate this moment is.“Formation!” he calls out.The wolves straighten into lines, and the scent of order, adrenaline, and sharpened nerves fills the air.However, there’s one scent that cuts through everythin

Chapter 26: An Unexpected Victory

ALEXI step onto the training grounds before sunset, letting the cool evening air hit my face.Dew still clings to the grass, and the smell of earth and wood sharpens my senses. But my attention is already drawn to a figure pacing near the center.Zane. Of course.He’s already here. Earlier than I expected as well.He glances at me, one eyebrow raised, and smirks.“Of all the people I could be paired with…” he says, voice low, casual but full of challenge, “…it had to be you.”I roll my eyes, hiding the faint irritation that creeps over me. “Funny,” I reply, stepping closer, “I was thinking the exact same thing.”“Hope you’re ready,” he mutters. “I don't plan on losing.”I glance around. The training grounds are almost empty. The moon's starting peek above the treetops, casting long shadows across the clearing. My nerves tighten. This is it.The first test. I have to start on the front foot. And from the look in his eyes, I doubt Zane's planning on sabotaging that… regardless of our

Chapter 27: The Camouflage

ALEXDinner tonight's a little hard to digest. Not because the dinner table’s silent and empty. On the contrary, every space on it is taken!The sound of dragged cutlery and murmured chats fill the space, antagonised only by the scent of fresh meat and perfectly salted soup.“If you're not gonna eat your ribs, can I have—” I glance at the face to my right and the words crack in his throat.I can't even remember his name, but I know he's part of Adrian's group.Jax, I think it was.All of us that are being tested for the Pre-Convergence assessment are here. Nearly thirty, while the rest of the pack’s remained in their usual spot. Didn't think it'd be this intense, but Adrian and Liam really do have strict plans for it. Some people are taking it as serious as they are…“Too much carbs aren't good for me” Sage whispers to herself in the midst of the bustle and chattering. She's from Adrian's group as well. Came in third place too. It almost looks like she's meditating on the dining t

Chapter 28: Not Even You

MAYAI'm ovulating tonight.I've been looking for what to wear for Liam for the past thirty minutes. Cooking dinner for almost the entire pack definitely didn't help my cause. And now, I'm a mix of heat and indecison.“Is this too tight?” I admire my shape on the mirror in front of me.The way the straps barely cling to my shoulders, it's gonna be easy to take them off. The unders are basically sucking my thighs, bringing out my butt. “I think he'll like this” i mutter to myself, already hearing footsteps approaching from down the hall. I rush to my bed, taking the pose I hope will do the trick. Legs spread apart, eyes filled with lust, body heating up with—“Maya?”“Jesus Christ!” I rush for the covers of my bed and throw them over my body. “Alex! What the hell are you doing here?”She stares back at me with a puzzled expression, probably as confused as she ought to be. Good. That means she didn't see anything. “I saw you Liam downstairs, so I thought you'd be free after making

Chapter 29: What the--

ALEX“The second test of the Pre-Convergence assessment will test your decision-making and intuition above all else. Sometimes, the only thing you can rely on to save yourself, are your senses. That will be put to the test in today's trial” Liam said. “Remeber that there are a total of five tests all together to be completed at the end of the assessment. This means that if Alex and Zane win today's test as well, they become the most favourable candidates to proceed” he barely glanced at me as he said it. “To keep things plain and unfavored, I won't be participating in today's test, and a slight repairing will take place. Not to worry, the rest continues as planned. Are you ready?!”Those words came tumbling down his tongue almost thirty minutes ago, and if not anything, one thing I clearly remember was the look on Sagesifave a couple moments before we blitzed in opposite directions. Adrian by her side, she looked on at me with a smile on her face. As if she already knew how today's

Chapter 30: Unstoppable Force Vs Immovable Object

Chapter 30MAYA (A COUPLE MOMENTS BACK)“But isn't that… basically cheating?”Adrian looks back at me with a drowned and weary eyes. Almost like he's disappointed in my honesty.“Miles is your partner” he says, ignoring my remark. “He's not the strongest, smartest or fastest. You two should split up in the early moments of the game. Tell him it's something about covering more ground or… I don't know. Just make up some believable excuse. Sage and I will split up in the early hours of the game as well.”Leaning against the pillar with his arms crossed in front of his chest, he continues. “They both have weaknesses. Take advantage of it. If things get too messy, just deny Alex another victory. Anybody else can win.”His eyes say a lot more than his voice does. I know deep down he doesn't want a single member of the pack to accompany him to the Convergence. But something about the tint in his iris reveals a lot more than he's willing to admit about Alex. “And what about you?” I ask.
