Semua Bab REJECTED AND REBORN; THE HOCKEY ALPHA'S REGRET : Bab 71 - Bab 80

LyraTalking about Aurelia had had an effect on everyone, including me.I sat in my room, alone-Zephyron had gone to heaven knows where- and thought about how, in the past, I had zero need to pay attention to her or anything she had stood for. Now, I was super curious after I had asked the girls the questions and pointed out the facts regarding her. What had actually happened to Aurelia Thorn?She had been there on the Lunar Crest Night, and then disappeared after everyone saw her slump. It was generally agreed that she had died that day-her weak wolf must have been unable to handle the stress of losing the man she loved and had evaporated from her so quickly.'Stupid girl,' I spat as I thought about it, loathing her even more. Only she could have been stupid enough to think Zephyron would leave me for her and then choose her as his mate. How stupid was she?'But he's going back to her this time, even with you around,' a voice in my head pointed out, and my wolf growled at the thoug

Aurelia "Kai," I called out in my mind, testing.It all happened in that instant, so that in my mind's eye, a brilliant, glowing map of the maze came into existence, and it was centered entirely around the steady, warm emission that was Kai's soul. It was so breathtakingly clear that I didn't just see the maze from above; but I could even feel the exact rhythm of his breathing, the tension in his calves as he walked, and the air hitting his bare neck."I'm here, sweetheart," his voice echoed back in my mind, smooth and steady. "Tell me where to move.""Straight for about five paces... no wait... four should be enough for you," I answered. "Wait... duck now-there is a swinging beam coming in from the left. Thank Goodness. Go three paces right."I watched as Kai moved with sure feet through the labyrinth. While the other blindfolded students stumbled and hesitated, shouting over their fracturing mental links, Kai moved with a terrifying, fluid grace. He was so sure that he didn't eve

Aurelia The next morning's test was one of the most stunning things I had seen, as the field, which we had all been training in, was now suddenly covered in a large expanse of water that made me step back in horror. The water was wide and the depths only faded into darkness for as far as I could see. The surface rippled with waves, and though it looked harmless, I could not imagine for the life of me how deep it was or for how far it extended, so my heart very rightfully thumped at the sight.Even Nyra pulled away from the edge of the water.Coach Vance had not appeared yet, and most of the students had gathered around the water. They were scooping it up with their hands and from the scraps of words that I could pick up from what they were saying, the water was an illusion. One of the best they had ever seen."You know how to swim, don't you?" Kai appeared suddenly at my shoulder. "I can tell that you are not particularly thrilled by this.""She never used to like swimming, as a mat

Kai. Her long and drawn scream hit my ears like dynamite. I shook, now certain that something was going wrong inside the Water of Fears. Since she had gotten into it, I had expected that she would send me some sort of communication over our bond-any one at all. "There's something wrong in there, Talia," I said, even though I was somewhat uncertain. "What is that?" She asked. "Aurelia." "Why do you think so?" "I can feel it." She looked at me, her expression just as confused. "Of course she has to feel a little bit of something... negative... I mean... she's literally in the Water of Fears and experiencing whatever her worst fears are. Don't overthink it, Kai. She should be fine when it's all over." I tried to relax and pretend that it was sufficient when I heard her voice beg. "Please don't kill me. I am not an abomination." I was taken aback. There had to be no way Aurelia was afraid of something like being an abomination-that did not even make sense in the least. I had

TaliaI had every reason to be worried.I paced about and bit down on my nails and even outright screamed at some point to the point of having my lungs burst, but all my antics were lost amongst the crowd of students that were flocking about the edge of the Water of Fears and asking all the questions to be asked.The resulting uproar was thunderous and deafening, and I was lost in the midst of it all while being unable to even do a thing."You can't go in after him," Coach Vance was saying to some of the security who were offering to go in after Kai and get him out, his loud voice somehow booming over all the noise despite the bandage on his head after Kai had butted him with his head. "That is a Water of Fears and anyone who goes into it will first experience an intimate confrontation with the worst of their fears before anything else.The students were speaking, too. Many of them heard him bicker with the coach over Aurelia being in some kind of distress, and they had heard the coac
