Chapter 21

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

The next morning, I walked into the academy exactly as I had promised Emma I would. I had barely slept. My eyes felt heavy and the weight of the previous day still clung to my chest, but I refused to lower my head. Students stared and whispered as I passed. The rumours from the day before had spread even further overnight. A group of first-years deliberately moved aside when they saw me coming. One of them called out sarcastically, “Planning to argue with the Shadow Prince again today? Or are you taking a break from challenging people stronger than you?” Another laughed. “Maybe she’ll trip over another log just to get attention.”I kept walking. Inside my head I repeated the same words over and over If I react, they win. Emma walked close beside me, her voice soft and worried. “You don’t have to pretend it doesn’t bother you,” she whispered. “I can see it in your face.” “I’m fine,” I answered, though the words felt thin. “I just need to get through the day.” “I’m staying

Chapter 23

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

The next afternoon, Emma and I headed to the academy courtyard after classes, hoping to enjoy the fresh air before dinner. The space was packed with students talking in small groups, practicing light sparring near the edges, and relaxing around the large stone fountain that stood in the centre. Water sparkled in the sunlight, and for a brief moment I almost believed I might actually have one peaceful afternoon.That hope lasted less than a minute. A familiar voice called my name across the courtyard. “Seraphina.”Isabella stood near the fountain with Cassandra and several of the academy’s most popular girls. Her smile was sweet enough to look almost genuine. Emma immediately leaned closer, voice low and urgent. “We should leave please. Nothing good ever happens when she smiles like that.” I shook my head. “I’m done running away every time she decides to make a scene. If I keep avoiding her, she’ll only grow louder.” Emma bit her lip but stayed beside me as I walked over. I
