For a moment after he appeared in the hallway, Kael simply stared.Liora lay unconscious in Mara’s arms, her body limp, her long dark hair spilling across the floor. The red marks around her throat stood out against her pale skin.His marks.Something twisted sharply inside his chest.Before Mara could speak—Kael moved.In one swift motion he crouched beside them and lifted Liora into his arms. She felt frighteningly light, her head falling softly against his shoulder, her body unnaturally warm against his bare chest.“Her room,” he ordered sharply.Mara immediately rose.“This way.”Kael didn’t wait.With Alpha speed he crossed the hallway, moving through the corridors of the pack house faster than any normal human—or wolf—could follow. Within seconds they reached the east wing.Mara pushed the door open.Kael stepped inside and laid Liora carefully on the bed.For a brief moment he stood there, looking down at her.Her face looked pale under the dim light, but her cheeks were flush

Morning arrived quietly over the pack house.Sunlight streamed through the tall windows of the east wing, spreading warm light across the polished floors and stone walls. The house had already begun to stir with activity—helpers moving through corridors, dishes clinking faintly in the kitchens, and the distant hum of morning routines.Liora adjusted the strap of her backpack over her shoulder as she walked down the hallway.Her laptop rested safely inside the bag, and her hair was tied loosely behind her back. She had taken a little extra time getting ready this morning, determined not to get lost again like the previous night.Before leaving her room, she had already asked one of the helpers for directions to the dining hall.*Left corridor, second staircase, then straight ahead.*Simple enough.At least… she hoped.Her pace quickened slightly as she approached the large open hallways that led toward the dining area.The moment she stepped inside—She collided into something solid.O

The large doors of the auditorium opened slowly.A hush fell over the entire hall.Alpha Kael entered first.He wore a perfectly tailored black striped suit, sharp and commanding, the fabric fitting his broad shoulders and tall frame flawlessly. His dark hair was neatly styled, and the quiet authority in his stride made the air in the room feel heavier.He looked every bit what the legends said he was.Powerful.Untouchable.Behind him walked Jayden, dressed in a refined grey suit, calm and composed as always.And beside them—Lumia.She wore a stunning body-con formal dress, elegant and sophisticated. Her hair fell perfectly over her shoulders, and the way she walked beside Kael made them look every bit like the perfect power couple.From the crowd, the sight was undeniable.They looked good together.Too good.For a brief moment, something bitter passed through Liora’s chest.It was quick.Sharp.But just as quickly—She let it go.Kael stepped onto the stage and turned toward the a

The silence inside the auditorium stretched.Margot stood frozen.Liora remained calm at the center of the stage.And the entire hall waited.Jayden slowly leaned forward toward the judge’s table laptop, opening the file properties again. His eyes moved carefully across the details displayed on the screen.Creation time.Research attachments.Login credentials.Embedded notes.He closed the laptop gently.Then stood up.The moment the Beta of the pack rose from his chair, the hall quieted instantly.Jayden looked toward Margot first.“Miss Clarke,” he said evenly.“Would you like to provide any further clarification regarding this presentation?”Margot’s throat moved as she swallowed.For a moment it looked like she might say something.Then the words tumbled out desperately.“She gave it to me,” Margot said quickly, pointing at Liora. “We worked on it together!”A wave of whispers spread through the audience.Liora didn’t react.She simply stood quietly.Jayden tilted his head slight

The crowd outside the auditorium slowly began to disperse.Students still congratulated Liora as they walked past her, but the excitement of the competition was fading into the regular buzz of campus life.Liora stepped down the stone stairs of the university building quietly.The evening sun had begun to soften the sky.For the first time since the announcement, she finally had a moment to breathe.But that moment didn’t last long.“Well… look who suddenly thinks she belongs.”The voice came sharp and cold.Liora stopped.She turned slowly.**Lumia.**Standing a few feet away with her arms crossed, the elegant dress she wore earlier still perfect, her eyes filled with clear irritation.For a moment neither of them spoke.Then Lumia stepped closer.“I have to admit,” she said slowly, “that was quite the show in there.”Her tone dripped with mock praise.“You played the victim beautifully.”Liora didn’t respond.Lumia leaned slightly closer.“But don’t get comfortable.”Her voice lower
