A COMFORTING SHOULDER

Aurelia's POV I pressed the cold towel against Zephyron’s bruised knuckles, watching the way his jaw tightly clenched.He didn’t look at me. His gray eyes were locked on the empty ice, his breathing heavy and ragged.“You’re pushing yourself too hard, Zeph,” I whispered.He let out a harsh breath, his shoulders tense beneath his hockey jersey. “The finals are next week, Aurelia. My father is coming. The scouts are coming. I don’t have time to slack off.”I knew that tone. I knew every shift in his voice, every shadow that crossed his handsome face.For three years, I had been the one who caught his anger when the rest of the pack expected him to be the flawless Alpha heir.When Lyra broke his heart, threw her ring at his chest, and left the academy, I was the one who sat on the floor of his cabin, holding him together while he tore himself apart.My chest ached at the memory, but I pushed it down.A sudden wave of exhaustion hit me, making my head spin. I stumbled slightly, gripping

LUNA CREST EVENT I

Aurelia's POV “I put fifty credits on her getting dumped before the clock strikes midnight,” a sharp voice sneered from the row of marble sinks.It was Chloe, one of Lyra’s old inner circle. She was adjusting her diamond earrings, her eyes tracking my reflection through the glass with pure disdain.I continued smoothing down the satin of the simple white gown I had bought with my own savings, ignoring them.“Only fifty?” another girl giggled, applying a thick layer of lip gloss. “I heard Zeph’s dad was furious when he saw the official itinerary. There is no way the Alpha Council lets him tie himself to a weak wolf. He’s just using her to fill the void.”My fingers dug into the fabric of my dress, my nails nearly tearing the delicate lace detailing at my waist.Void. Rebound. Backup.Sure, I wanted this night to be romantic, but deep down, I also wanted to get my dignity back. I wanted to look every single person in this academy in the eye and prove I wasn't just a shadow he hid away

LUNA CREST II

Aurelia's POV The entire ballroom went dead silent at the sight of her. The applause died instantly, replaced by a wave of collective gasps.Lyra didn't look at the elders. She didn't look at the Headmistress. Her glittering, predatory eyes locked straight onto Zephyron, ignoring me entirely as if I were nothing more than a piece of cheap furniture standing on the stage.She took one slow step forward. The distance was too great for human ears to catch her voice, but through our amplified werewolf senses, her whisper carried like a strike of lightning.I watched her lips move perfectly in the dim light at the back of the room.“I’m back for you, Zeph. I’m not playing games anymore. Plus...I'm not wearing undies."The fuck?Zephyron lost focus instantly.His powerful alpha aura, which had been wrapped protectively around my weak wolf just seconds ago, suddenly snapped backward. It withdrew from me entirely, leaving me completely exposed to the freezing draft of the stage.His grip on

THE REJECTION

AureliaZephyron flinched as if I had struck him across the face. His hands hovered in the space between us, trembling slightly, before falling heavily to his sides. The shame in his gray eyes instantly hardened.He didn’t want to be the villain in front of the cameras. He wanted to be the tragic Alpha heir who made a difficult choice.But I refused to give him the shadows anymore."Aurelia, don't do this," he muttered, his voice a low. "You're upset. You're emotional. Just come backstage so we can settle this like adult partners.""Partners?" A sharp, broken laugh escaped my throat. "You left me standing here under a spotlight for ten minutes while you chased another woman pussy's down the corridor. There is no 'us' to settle in private, Zeph."From the back of the room, Lyra walked slowly down the center aisle, her crimson dress sweeping against the marble like an open wound. She stopped at the base of the stage, crossing her arms as she looked up at me with smugness."Zeph, just te

SIX MONTHS LATER

Aurelia's POV Six months later~The heavy iron gates of Blackridge Academy groaned as they swung open, letting in a freezing wind from the northern mountains.I stepped out of the black transport car, the gravel crunching beneath the souls of my leather boots. I didn't look at the students who immediately froze on the walkways, or the smartphones instantly being aimed at my face. I simply tilted my chin up, my dark eyes sweeping over the stone towers with a completely detached, icy calm.“Is that… no, it can't be,” a girl whispered, her phone slipping slightly in her grip.“She died. We all saw the blood. What kind of dark magic brought her back?”Talia warned me the news of my return had already spread across the academy. The whispers, cameras, and stares confirmed it. She claimed I once had a life here, but none of it meant anything to me. And whatever story these students believed about my death was clearly another mess she told me to ignore.Fascination and primitive fear ignited
