Chapter one

AVELORA Our school was built to unite the tribes, not to separate us.Then why are we in ranks? Why am I part of the working population when I’m supposed to be a student like everyone else?I was supposed to be equal, at least, equal in illusion?Our hierarchy was so strict that even the cafeteria wasn’t exempted.I balanced the fancy silver food tray that was exclusively prepared for Alpha Khyrix as I stepped into the restricted dining hall."I hope he falls on his butt at his coronation tonight." I muttered, staring down at the tray.As expected, Natalia was wrapped around him like second skin. His beta, Zayn, lounged to his right with two other guys sitting next to him, I didn't bother to learn their names because they hadn't bother to learn mine.Natalia planted her lips on his cheek, she then looked up at me as if making a point.I almost gagged but set the tray on the dining table anyway, Khyrix didn’t even glance up, he was totally absorbed in his phone, his body relaxed and

Chapter two

AVELORANo, I definitely wasn't hallucinating. Was he mistaken? there was no way I was his mate.Maybe he was drunk.I looked around searching for some sort of sanity but everybody wore the same expression I did. Faces that sent a clear message that I wasn't worthy enough to be a mate to someone like him.I became horrifyingly aware of everything that was going on. The sticky feeling of the drink clinging to my skin, the extremely prejudiced look people were giving me.Alpha Khyrix was close, too close to me for comfort.I could see the faint line in between his brows, the way his jaw tightened as he inhaled again. His gaze were fixed on me like he was trying to solve a problem he never asked for."No."Natalia was the first to break the silence with a mocking laugh "That's not funny."She shoved me out of the way and got in front of me, she placed her hand on Khyrix's chest stopping him in his track. His gaze finally broke away from me.Fury flashed behind his eyes"move." One word t

Chapter three

AVELORA “What do you mean?”The words barely left my mouth before my entire existence collapsed under its weight.“You’re not my mate,” he repeated, like that explained everything. I shut my eyes in frustration as I ran my hand through my already disheveled hair."you know what...?" I exhaled sharply I'm not even going to ask. " I moved to walk past him but was pulled back.His hand closed around my wrist. “I’m sorry,” he said, firm. “But you are the best option.”A broken laugh fell from my lips."Oh, because I'm convenient?" I made an air quote, tears burning behind my eyes "Wow, I'm flattered""No." he said "Because you are the best option."That stopped me. "what?" I stared at him, waiting for him to explain, Waiting for the reason he thought justified ruining my life in one night.I swear, if this was some elaborate prank, I was absolutely poisoning his tea and spitting in his favorite food."Because even though you go here, this is the first time I've seen you."Wow. “I’ve been

Chapter four

AVELORAEven though I knew what I was getting into, my body still trembled. His hand squeezed mine, almost reassuringly. It did nothing but fray my nerves further.The music stopped again. This time, instead of keeping quiet like they did before, people had already gathered.I looked around at the judgmental faces, their attention on our hands as we walked through the crowd that parted like seawater.Khyrix made his way toward the podium while I followed with my head down.When we reached it, the elders who were supposed to arrive during the crowning were already there. My thoughts stumbled as I took in their respective faces.I didn’t need a fortune teller to know what they were going to say, and even though I had prepared myself for this, the elders’ first words broke all confidence.“No, not her,” one of them said, finality heavy in his tone.Weren’t we supposed to be somewhere private to hold this conversation? I knew I had to face this humiliation, I just didn’t know it was going

Chapter five

AVELORA The door flew open.It wasn’t pulled or pushed by anyone. It burst wide, as if the wind itself had forced its way in, yet the hallway beyond was empty. And still, the room shifted.Something moved through the air, through me. It slid beneath my skin, crept into my bones like a whispered warning.Pressure bloomed behind my eyes. All too familiar and terrifying. “That’s my mother,” Khyrix said, spinning me so I faced him.'Finally'.The word brushed against my mind, uninvited. Mybreath caught. “Avelora.”Khyrix’s voice reached me, distant, as though it had to fight its way through something thick and unseen. But it tangled with another voice, one I knew far too well. “Avelora.” a voice so soft and certain.The same one from my dreams.“Hey,” Khyrix murmured, grounding me. “We need to sell this.” I nodded, clinging to that thought as energy surgedthrough me, wild and uncontained.“Okay,” I breathed.That was the last thing I managed before his lips met mine.The contact snapped

Chapter six

AVELORAMy cheek burned where his hand had struck me. The sting pulsed, the humiliation was overwhelming as I looked around to see eyes everywhereThe guards, pack members, students are frozen in place, watching this horror movie unfold, they were watching me.I’d known I was no longer invisible the moment I became Alpha Khyrix’s mate.But this—this was different. This was my father stripping me bare in public, reminding everyone exactly where I came from.“You cursed thing,” my father snarled, lifting his hand again.I flinched, instinct taking over. I braced myself for the secondblowOnly it never came.I looked up, Khyrix stood between us, his hand was locked around my father’s wrist, grip unyielding. He didn't return the same agression that my father carried around, everything about him was controlled, barely anything noticeable.My heart slammed violently against my chest. “Don’t touch my mate.” everytime I heard the word mate, something in me flipped.My father’s nostrils flare

Chapter seven

Khyrix"Mate," my wolf—Torin—growled as I stepped through the crowd, the familiar scent hitting my nose. Wild jasmine, the scent of the girl that serves me with a scowl on her face every morning.Torin pounded against my chest, urging me to be faster in my search for her. I moved through the crowd without slowing, wolves parting for me.I spotted her in the distance, right beside Natalia."We warned her to stay away," my wolf growled.She stood there, completely unaware.Her wolf was supposed to be dormant, not nonexistent.And yet the bond thrummed against my chest angrily while she stood there, her usual scowl on, as though I were nothing more than her Alpha.Nothing more.I stopped just in front of her, eyes wide as she stared at me. I could feel her pulse jump.Good. She felt it too.I leaned down, close enough that my mouth brushed her ear. “Mate.”Her breath hitched.The reaction was immediate: her fingers twitched, her pupils dilated, and the air between us thickened.Mine.The

Chapter eight

# Chapter eightAveloraI stirred awake, wrapped around a comfy pillow. I snuggled it closer, enjoying the comfiness while it lasted. When did the pillows in the dorms become so comfortable?The pillow moved, and my eyes shot open. “Morning, mate.” I shuddered. His voice was even deeper in the morning.I looked down at our intertwined bodies, heat and goosebumps rising everywhere we touched. I was wrapped around him like a damn koala.This was a mistake.“I’m sorry, I should have slept on the…” He shuffled off the bed. “Good morning to you too.”I sat up, rubbing the sleep out of my eyes. “Your bed is so comfortable,” I muttered trying to reduce the tension. I got up and stood awkwardly by the side of the bed, wondering what I was going to do in a room that isn’t my own. Actually, I had never had a room to myself before.Alpha Khyrix walked toward me, and as if it was possible, I shrank more into myself.“You don’t need to act like I’m going to bite you.” He stood in front of me, his

# Chapter nineThe impact of her body hitting mine sent us both sprawling back into the closet. My head cracked against the hardwood shelf, and for a second, my vision went blank."You little thief," a voice hissed.My eyes snapped open to see Natalia. She wasn't the polished, untouchable Natalia. Her face was contorted, her teeth bared in a snarl that was more wolf than human. She had her hands bunched in the fabric of the hoodie, Alpha Khyrix's hoodie, exactly the same one I had on, and she looked like she wanted to shred it, and me, to pieces."I... Natalia, stop," I gasped, trying to push her off."You’re wearing his scent," she spat, her eyes flashing dangerously. "You think because he brought you here, you’re special? You’re a placeholder. A charity case. He’s an Alpha, he needs a Luna with blood that matters, not a servant who can’t even find her own wolf." She shoved me harder against the shelving. A row of alpha Khyrix’s shoes tumbled down around us."He’ll get bored," she wh

Chapter ten

# Chapter tenAvelora “So what is your goal, Avelora?” he asked again gently as he finished fixing my training gear. I was grounded in my spot, and even though I had always wanted to be stronger, it felt like it wasn’t goal enough compared to what he had said.“I want to be strong enough to stop being weak,” I finally said. I just wanted to leave the bottom rank. There was no grand motivation. I wanted to stop being somebody’s servant everywhere I went. I wanted to stop being looked at like I was replaceable.I expected him to laugh at me, to say something dismissive, but he just stared at me.My motivation can never make sense to him. He has never been at the bottom. He was spoon-fed everything from the beginning. He had power, respect, and a name that carried weight.“You’re not weak, Avelora.”I met his eyes, expecting mockery, but I was met with sincerity instead. It unsettled me more than laughter would have. Before I could process it, he quickly looked away.“So we start with p
