Crest POV"Urgh..."I groaned as the sound of rustling nearby dragged me back to consciousness. My head throbbed, and when I tried to open my eyes, everything was a dizzying blur. I couldn't remember much—just a hazy memory of my entire body feeling like it was on fire."Oh, thank the Goddess, you're awake!" A woman’s voice rushed toward me. "I’ve been crying for hours, blaming myself for letting you take that perfume.""Estella? What... what happened?""You collapsed just a few feet from the entrance.""Right. We made it?""We did. And thank Goddess, your uncle was there to help."I tried to smile and push myself up, but a sharp ache shot through my limbs. Estella immediately reached out to steady me, and as she did, I noticed dark bruises blooming across her arms."What happened to you?" I asked, frowning. "Why are you covered in bruises?"She hesitated, biting her lip. "Well... you kind of w

HUNTER POV"D*mn it!" I grunted. I had tried to connect with my wolf dozens of times to no avail. Ever since I’d caught that strange scent on our way to the barracks, my wolf had been pacing restlessly in the back of my mind.Even he didn't seem to understand what was happening. Something about that scent irritated him. He wanted out, and I did my best to maintain control. He had already begun to lash out; he’d rampaged through the trees and smashed some of the stone walls on the far side of the Lily River Camp.I hoped no member of the Council saw this. If they did, my family’s reputation would be ruined.I ran toward the heart of the forest until a beautiful waterfall cascading over a massive wall of rock caught my attention. The mist it created refreshed my mind. I inhaled the damp air, and it finally cooled down my hot-headed wolf. Little by little, I felt the connection returning, though it wasn't full yet. I still couldn't speak to him or get a response.His fur was a mess, and

CREST’S POV"How can we get out of here? The place is swarming with guards after what you did," Estella whispered into my face. We were huddled together, planning to scout the area for the assessment scheduled for tomorrow.After the havoc I’d caused, my uncle, the commander, had ordered the guards to stay alert and monitor my situation while I rested in one of the camp barracks."You’ve known this place longer than I have. In order for me to pass the assessment, we need to do this," I whispered back."Yes, but the guards... can't you see them?""We need a plan.""Now you want a plan? Did you think of one before you swallowed all that perfume?"I rolled my eyes at her. "Look, I know I’ve made some hasty decisions lately, but it was for a good reason."She sighed."You know I trust you, right?" I gave her a wide smile. "This time, I’m relying on you, since you know the layout better than I do.""Fine. But to burst your bubble, I haven't actually seen the center of the area where the as

CREST POV"Slow down now, I think we already passed them," Estella whispered.We made it into the center of the forest, just outside the border walls of the Lily River Campsite."I'm glad you made it just in time. I thought the patrols were going to catch me."She smiled, knowing she had saved me many times in just a single week.A short while ago, I was hiding in the bushes waiting for the border patrols to shift duties. When I tried to run after finding an opening, one patrol member came back to the border and almost saw me running toward the gate. Thankfully, Estella arrived just in time. She used her skills to charm those guards again and let me cross the walls."Where are we going now?" she asked."Let's roam the area and hope that none of the traps catch us.""We're literally outside the assessment field, so I guess there are no traps here.""We don't know that yet. What if they put traps here too, just in case some aspirants head toward this area?"She shook her head in disagre

HUNTER’S POVThe cold mist of the waterfall filled my lungs, relaxing my breathing and soothing my mind. For a brief moment, the heavy burden of my upcoming responsibilities faded into the roar of the rushing water.Then, a faint friction of whispers snapped me back to reality.I furrowed my brows, my ears twitching as they dialed in on the source of the sound. Slowly, I pulled myself away from the edge of the water, careful not to let the river stones click beneath my feet. I peered deep into the heart of the forest. The canopy of trees are thick and oppressive here, casting the woods into a premature twilight, hiding the greatest wonder called the Lily river waterfall. Still, my wolf sight picked up two distinct figures moving through the shadows.The dense crowd of ancient trees hid this waterfall from normal sight. It was a sanctuary known to only a select few. As I stealthily crept toward the hushed voices, my wolf suddenly stirred, letting out a low, vibrating growl in my chest

CREST POVAll that time, I hadn’t noticed that the moon was already setting himself up in the sky. The silver orb hung high, casting long, skeletal shadows across the dense forest floor. I tried to calm the frantic beating of my heart, taking deep, steadying breaths of the cool night air. For the last time, I tried to call out to my wolf, but to no avail. She was still out there, locked away in the deepest, most recessed part of my mind, hiding herself from me.Perhaps she was angry at me. Angry for turning her fur into the color she hated most, for forcing her to hide her true power, and for compelling her to do something that the Goddess of the Moon herself might get angry at.I desperately wanted to connect with her again. I wanted to ask for her forgiveness, to feel the comforting warmth of her presence, and to make everything right between us. But maybe I would have to wait until after these trials. I couldn't risk my position yet. I couldn't risk having a mate now, either. I kne
