All Chapters of Claimed By The Wolves; Shadowfang Academy : Chapter 21 - Chapter 27

The humiliation from the previous day followed me into every corner of the academy. As I walked through the corridors the next morning, students deliberately moved aside, whispering and laughing as I passed. Some exaggeratedly imitated the way I had knelt to gather my ruined books, complete with dramatic gasps and pretended spills. Others called out jokingly as I walked by. “Was challenging the Shadow Prince worth it?” “Maybe next time she’ll ask him for lessons on how to stay on her feet.”Every laugh felt like another wound, sharp and deliberate. I kept my head high and my expression carefully blank, pretending none of it reached me. Inside, each comment settled heavier than the last. Emma stayed close the entire time, her voice soft and repeated. “I’m so sorry. I should have done more yesterday. I should have stood in front of you or pulled you away sooner. I just froze again and. ” I stopped walking and turned to her gently. “Emma, none of it was your fault you tried

A few days after the practical lesson, academy life began settling into something that almost resembled a routine. Emma and I spent most of our mornings attending lectures, taking notes, and trying to ignore the lingering stares that still followed me through the corridors. When the midday bell rang, we escaped to the canteen and claimed the quietest table we could find near the far windows, hoping for at least one peaceful meal. Unfortunately, peace never seemed to last. Emma was halfway through a quiet comment about the next history assignment when her eyes suddenly widened. She leaned closer and whispered, “Don’t turn around… but something just changed.”I didn’t need to turn. The shift in the room was impossible to miss. Dozens of students sat straighter. Conversations dropped to near silence. The air itself seemed to tighten. Without looking, I already knew who had entered.The three Alpha Kings. Kael, Rowan, and Adrian walked through the crowded canteen with the effortless c

A few days after the incident at the fountain, I was called to the Headmaster’s office just after my morning lecture. The summons came without explanation, and the moment the messenger delivered it, a familiar knot of dread settled in my stomach. I assumed I was in trouble again another complaint, another public argument that had somehow reached the administration, another reminder that I didn’t belong. Emma walked with me as far as the administrative wing. “Do you want me to wait outside?” she asked quietly. “It’s probably nothing,” I said, though I didn’t believe it. “I’ll find you after.”The Headmaster’s office was large and formal, lined with heavy bookshelves and the crests of the three kingdoms. He sat behind a wide desk and looked at me over steepled fingers for a long moment before speaking. “Miss Ashwyn. A letter arrived for you early this morning.” He held out a sealed envelope bearing the unmistakable crest of the Mooncrest Pack. “I was instructed to deliver it pe

The morning after Alpha Magnus’s visit, I became the academy’s favourite topic once again. Everywhere I walked, students whispered about how even my own Alpha had publicly scolded me. Some were bold enough to imitate his words as I passed. “Know your place.” “Stop embarrassing the pack.” “Even her family doesn’t want her.”I kept my expression blank and my pace steady, pretending none of it reached me. Emma walked close beside me, her voice soft with worry. “You’re gripping your books so tightly your knuckles are white,” she whispered. “You don’t have to pretend it doesn’t hurt.” I loosened my hold slightly. “I’m fine. They’re just repeating what they heard. It’ll die down eventually.”Emma didn’t look convinced, but she stayed silent as we entered Advanced Pack History. Professor Blackwood began the lesson by questioning students about the treaties between the three kingdoms. When no one volunteered an answer, I quietly raised my hand. Before I could speak, a student
