The silence that swallowed the courtyard after the messenger’s announcement felt heavier than any punishment I had ever endured. For several long heartbeats, no one moved. No one spoke. It was as if the entire world had frozen in disbelief. Then the storm broke with violent force.Luna Vivienne surged forward, her elegant features contorted with fury and disbelief. “This must be a mistake,” she declared sharply, her voice cutting through the night air like a blade. “The invitation clearly belongs to Isabella. She is the prodigy, the gifted wolf who brings honor to our pack. Not this wolfless disgrace standing before us.”Before I could even process the parchment in my hands, Isabella lunged and snatched it away. Her fingers tore at the seal with desperate urgency. Her ice-blue eyes flew across the elegant script, and I watched in real time as triumph melted into humiliated rage. “It says Seraphina Ashwyn,” she hissed, her voice trembling. “It has the royal seal. This… this c

The academy was even more overwhelming up close than it had appeared from the carriage. Towering buildings of gleaming white stone stretched toward the sky, connected by wide stone pathways lined with ancient trees. Massive training arenas could be seen in the distance, and students from every kingdom moved through the grounds in excited clusters. The air hummed with power wolf auras of varying strengths mingling together in a way that made my skin prickle.I had barely taken three steps past the main gates when a senior student shoved me roughly aside. “Out of the way, newbie,” he snapped.My worn suitcase burst open on impact, spilling everything across the stone pathway. Clothes, a few precious books, and the wrapped pastries Elena had secretly packed scattered everywhere. Heat flooded my face as dozens of students stopped to stare. Laughter rippled through the crowd. “Look at her. Breathtaking on the outside, but probably too weak to survive here.” “Another noble who thinks

The academy was still buzzing with gossip about Emma’s sudden collapse the day before, but once the healers announced she would make a full recovery, students moved on with surprising speed. By the following morning, the atmosphere felt noticeably lighter. First-year students rushed across campus clutching schedules and maps, laughing as they tried not to get lost again.I left my dormitory early, notebook in hand, determined to reach my first real class without drawing any more attention. The uniform felt stiff and unfamiliar, and my silver hair was braided tightly in an attempt to look as ordinary as possible. That plan failed almost immediately.The academy was enormous. Every hallway looked identical, same white stone walls, same arched windows, same flickering magical lanterns. After wandering in circles for nearly twenty minutes, I stopped in frustration and muttered under my breath, “Whoever designed this place clearly hated new students.” Just as I was about to swallow my prid

After spending the afternoon exploring club booths with Emma, I felt surprisingly lighter than I had in years. The campus was alive with energy students laughing, demonstrating skills, and recruiting new members. Emma and I had tentatively signed up for the moon studies club together, drawn by the promise of learning more about our wolves and the lunar cycles that governed us. For the first time, the academy felt less like a prison and more like a world full of possibilities.But the day wasn’t over. Combat training had left me sweaty and sore, so I decided to head back toward the dormitories through the quieter paths behind the training fields. The sun was beginning to dip lower in the sky, casting long golden shadows across the grass. I walked with my notebook tucked under my arm, replaying the day’s events in my mind. Adrian’s relentless teasing, Rowan’s thoughtful observations, Kael’s quiet intensity… and the way all three of them seemed to keep finding their way into my orbit.I

The academy held its annual first-year relay and obstacle competition the next day, designed to test teamwork rather than individual strength. Much to my annoyance, I was assigned to the same team as Kael, Adrian, Rowan, and Emma again I immediately objected to the instructor, arms crossed tightly over my chest. “I’d rather work with people who don’t think they’re above everyone else,” I said pointedly, glancing toward Kael. The instructor refused to change the teams. “Learn to adapt, Ashwyn. That’s part of the lesson.”Kael took charge the moment the competition whistle blew. His voice was low, commanding, and carried the dangerous edge of someone who expected absolute obedience. “Emma, stay in the middle where it’s safest. Adrian, take the left flank. Rowan, scout the obstacles ahead. Seraphina…” His emerald eyes locked onto me like a predator sizing up prey. “Stay behind. You’ll only slow the team down.” I felt heat rise in my face. “I didn’t come to this academy to h
