Chapter 21

~Nyra Virellion~As we chatted about all sorts of random things last night, I couldn’t help but feel a surge of pride in where I came from. The Darkforest Pack isn’t just any pack it’s celebrated, full of every amenity you could want, and known for having the strongest workforce around. That’s what I’ve always been told back home, and hearing it again only strengthened my confidence about winning these Trials.After supper, I headed straight to my room and crashed into bed. My mind kept circling around what tomorrow’s special announcement might be.Still, I couldn’t ignore how strangely my body reacted to Alpha Vaerith’s voice… and his presence. He was exactly my type. I didn’t know what he looked like under all those royal layers, but his broad shoulders and the way his upper body filled out his clothes were impossible to miss. Then there was his sweaty face the other day when he spoke to me, and last night… the way he leaned in close, stirring up my anticipation for the announcemen

Chapter 22

~Nyra Virellion~The day we’d all been waiting for had finally arrived. A few of the wolves had asked Alpha Vaerith to keep any media attention away, so there was a full ban on mechanical recordings and gadgets inside the pack for the entire duration of the Trials. Honestly, I didn’t expect him to take it that far and ban cameras across the whole pack. That took some real guts, knowing he’d have to deal with the backlash.But then again, it’s Alpha Vaerith. He can pretty much do anything and people would still back him. Maybe that’s the kind of power we’re all chasing after.Three loud gongs rang out, signaling the start.“Hear all contestants and members of the audience in the Great Pack’s Arena!” the announcer’s voice boomed from the high podium. “The official commencement of the Trials of Heirs has now begun. To mark this moment and give our contestants a bit of luck, our pack’s Alpha, Alpha Vaerith, will light the Torch and officially start the prestigious Trials of Heirs. Alpha V

~Nyra Virellion~My chances of passing this trial were slipping away, and I knew I had to do something anything to make sure my name stayed on that list of survivors. Everything I’d trained for, all the endurance I’d built up, felt useless the second this real fight hit me. I wasn’t ready like the others.I was still recovering, my body weak and battered from being slammed around. The Gatekeeper was brutal, showing no mercy. But right beside my face, growing wild in the cracks of the arena wall, I spotted something that made my heart jolt.*Wait… that’s wolfsbane.*I pushed myself up and snatched the leaves before I could second-guess it. I’d studied this plant back in the library. It was one of the deadliest herbs for werewolves when prepared correctly, but even raw it could mess with their powers. Since I didn’t have a wolf inside me, it wouldn’t touch me at all.This was my ace.The only problem? How the hell was I supposed to get it on the Gatekeeper?I took a deep breath, ignorin

Chapter 24

~Nyra Virellion~I’d made it through to the second trial, but damn, the price I was paying for it felt way too high.I didn’t want to slip back into that old pessimistic headspace, the one that used to drag me down before all of this started. Still, I couldn’t help feeling a sharp sting of jealousy every time I looked at the others.Tonight, before supper, I had to join the Elite team the ones who performed well in the first trial and report to the east division training ground. Kaelrith Mavros, the Guard Captain, would be overseeing our special training from now on.I lay on my bed in complete silence while the sounds of everyone else partying drifted into my room. I couldn’t join them. My body still hadn’t recovered, and the pain kept me pinned down. Other contestants had taken even harder hits from the Gatekeeper than I did, but their wolves healed them almost instantly. By the end of the match, they were walking around like nothing had happened.I kept replaying that final moment

~Vaerith~There’s always a flicker of hope, even for someone as messed up as me. I rubbed my nose and glanced up at the wall clock l the gym always had one. It was already well past the time she usually showed up. I couldn’t help wondering why hardly anyone else ever came in here to train.‘Then there’s our mate. An absolute unit who loves training under the moonlight and keeping us company~’ Tharok’s words echoing in my head nearly made me gag.‘Hey! That’s not nice! As a wolf completely smitten with a delicate soul like hers, I’m allowed to be a hopeless romantic! Unlike you you don’t even have a heart. Wait… I take that back. You must have one after all. Otherwise, why are you here, right~?’‘What the actual fuck, Tharok? Are you even hearing yourself? Do you need some kind of potion to straighten your head out? I can head down to the healers right now and…’Our back-and-forth cut off instantly the second her scent drifted into the gymnasium on the night air.I took a slow, deep b

Chapter 26

~Vaerith~Same old shit, different day. I strode out of the healer’s room, only to get immediately ribbed by my own annoying wolf, Tharok, who couldn’t resist bringing up a certain someone.'Aww, you’re such a tsundere! You care about that girl way more than I ever could. Hell, more than any mortal probably ever has!' I took a sharp turn down the east wing. Anyone who saw the look on my face right then would’ve probably been worried pure disgust and irritation rolled into one. Tharok could be a real pain in the ass sometimes, pushing way past friendly banter into straight-up ridiculous territory.'What the hell does tsundere even mean, Goddess…' I muttered inwardly. 'Anyway, do NOT disturb me while I’m working. I already skipped my workout because I don’t feel like going anymore. And you’d better not distract me with your nasty thoughts about our mate.' I warned the wolf inside me.'Ha! Look who’s talking! You’re the one having all the 'nasty' thoughts about our mate. I just want a n

[FLASHBACK: THE DAY AFTER THE VIRELLIONS' TRAGIC FUNERAL]~Zephyros Lupus~It’s been a full day since that humiliating blow landed. One whole day since the Lycan Alpha of the Whispering Pines Pack brushed off my words and ruined my plans to take over the Virellion pack.Dravok from their pack wouldn’t stop glaring at me the whole time. He finally asked what the hell I had done. The real question is, what could I have done against someone that powerful? I can’t move against my rival yet.My whole goal was to absorb the Virellion pack, grow strong enough to make the Lycan Pack see me as a true threat. I wanted the wolves of the Whispering Pines Pack to fear my name, but that damn Alpha Vaerith wrecked everything with his interference.The frustration was eating me alive. For a while, I couldn’t see any way forward.Then late that evening, Beta Dravok called. Just seeing his name on the screen made me roll my eyes. I answered anyway.“Are you calling to yell at me again, Dravok?”“No. I’

~Kaelith Noctyra~Tragedy has followed me like a shadow since the day I was born. I, Kaelith Noctyra, came into the world in a remote, struggling pack called the Nightshades. Everyone knows us for being poor and constantly hungry. But being isolated like that also made us extremely traditional and strict.Born as a high-ranking female in the ruling family, I was hated simply for existing. All because I was a girl and not a boy. I lived in the shadow of my two older brothers, both born alphas to my alpha father. My birth cost my mother her life, and my father was never really a father to me. He acted like I didn’t exist, and I did the same. Still, I desperately wanted his attention, any way I could get it. That’s just how high-ranking females are treated in our pack.I still remember what happened when I turned fourteen…“Papa! Today’s my birthday!” I said, tugging at him. He was slightly drunk and deep in conversation with his pack members. My brothers sat there, completely unfazed. T

Chapter 29

~Nyra~A whole day had passed since Alpha Vaerith basically forced me into proper therapy. I’d healed up a lot since then, felt stronger, and was more than ready to jump back into the trials. I guess I’m just wired that way once I’m motivated, there’s no stopping me.I glanced up at the wall clock and sighed, hoping the medicine would kick in properly before I had to force down some food. Just then, the announcement bell rang out, pulling all of us contestants from our rooms. I stepped out wearing a jacket over my usual comfortable clothes and joined the others as we headed down to the common hall for whatever news they had.They told us a new candidate had entered through lateral selection. Her name would be revealed the day after tomorrow, once she cleared one of the in-house trials set up just for her. Until then, all we knew was that the total number of contestants had gone up by one.The whole thing was over in minutes, and I grimaced. What a pointless, rushed announcement.But t

~Nyra~ [THE EVE OF THE 2ND TRIAL]DARK WOODS“Thank you,” I said, nodding at the guards as they let me through. I took a deep breath and stepped into the vast dark woods that stretched all around the lycan pack.The second trial of intellect was tomorrow, and I was feeling nervous. If it had been about physical strength, I could’ve just hit the gym and reminded myself I was stronger than I looked. But when it came to my mind… what if I was weaker than I thought? What if I was just doubting my own capabilities?That’s why I needed this walk. Maybe even an aimless run through the woods to clear my head.The dark woods were divided into two parts, like concentric rings. The inner ring, right outside the pack grounds, was heavily guarded with tall fences. That was because the outer ring the so-called “cemetery of weak souls” was home to all kinds of rare, vicious creatures. Werebears, sirens, elves, centaurs… the list went on. Going out there was strictly forbidden, and anyone caught ne
