Awakened Academy Novels & Stories

"If you don't want to live, then you can die too." To my surprise, that one strike had not only killed Tyler but also awakened Evelyn. But Edith had already stopped listening to Evelyn's words. She stared blankly ahead, like her soul had left her body. I followed her gaze. It was where Tyler had fallen. I sighed and left the hospital.

I waited for the memory of Julian’s icy blue eyes and his predatory job offer to fade into the fog of a champagne-induced nightmare. It wasn’t real, I told myself, clutching the silk duvet to my chest. The job offer, the mention of Marcus, the way Julian looked at me like I was a prize to be stolen, just a dream. But then I saw it. On my bedside table, the glass award from the Harvard Business School sat catching the morning light, its edges sharp and undeniable. Beside it lay a heavy, charcoal-colored business card I didn't remember taking, but must have clutched in my hand like a lifeline.

Shadows shifted along the walls as if observing, and Evelyn knew that nothing about Wind Grave Academy would ever feel the same. Outside the sanctum, the night air was cool against her skin. The forest beyond whispered promises of trials yet to come. Evelyn breathed deeply, feeling her bloodline thrumming within her, aware that the awakening was only the first of many challenges. And as the moonlight glinted across the academy’s spires, Evelyn realized that her life—and the lives of those around her—had become irrevocably intertwined with forces she barely understood. She was no longer just a student. She was a marked heir, a nexus of power and peril, and the choices she made in the coming d

Chapter 34 Harper's POV The alarm blaring beside me made me open my eyes. I stretched my hands and switched it off. I had been awake for hours but I did not want to get out of bed. It was the start of a miserable week. Blackthorn Academy's yearly trip. Every student at the academy including the non elites were usually excited because it was the one time in a week they got to be free.

RAVENNA POV "Dawn's just an hour away," Darius said, his voice low as we shed our clothes in the woods, preparing to shift. "When the wolves are out, let yourself fade into your consciousness. Think of it like falling asleep. We'll shift back when the sun rises and then I'll take you to your surprise." He ended with a playful smile. I rolled my eyes at him. "If you're not going to tell me what it is then don't rub it on my face."

RACHEL The last thing I remembered was being beaten mercilessly by a monster while my foster family watched. The pain still pulsed through me whenever I moved. Now, I was in an Academy. A place for “Young, promising wolves.” What the hell was that? I blinked at the stone ceiling above me, too stunned to even sit up at first. There had to be a mistake. An Academy? For wolves? That sounded like one of those fantasy books I'd sneak from the living room shelf to read in my room when no one was watching, where the protagonist woke up in a supernatural world after being human all her life.

At our west, the sun is already completing its day journey and casting the last of its golden orangy rays over the mountains and the river. "Are we there yet?" I asked, knowing full well that I'm not going to get an answer. We can only communicate in a telepathic way once we're in our wolf-form, meaning, I can't understand a single thing they're saying. They might be discussing the best possible way to get rid of me by making it look like an accident. I grinned. I've never gone this far before! Even the wind smells different! Sir Finnegan rules the North Woods up the Manchester river, Rainforest Academy is supposed to be downriver.

“I hate this academy.” “Everyone does,” Soreya said. “The successful ones just learn to hate it productively.” They left the Hollow Residence together and crossed the lower path toward the central medical wing. The academy looked different in this false morning light. Less haunted at first glance, more architectural. The black stone towers rose against the dim crimson sky, and the silver-veined paths glimmered beneath their feet.

With superhearings, everything seemed to be at your ear's disposal. "Welcome back, Vesper," Rosemary, one of the Restaurant's waiters, grinned. She moved in for a hug, which I accepted, and then her eyes flickered to Kelani. Rose was a werewolf as well. In fact, she was one of the alumni of the academy. Many of the students in the academy had nowhere else to go after finishing their studies. They were orphans or just abandoned kids by their parents after the latter realized they had special abilities. So, the Academy had made a special spot for those and anyone who intended to stay instead of going to the real world to explore other possibilities.

Chapter 38 Alex's POV In the realm between dreams and reality, Alex slowly emerged from the depths of unconsciousness. The gradual return of sensation began with a tingling awareness in his fingers, like tendrils of life creeping up his limbs. A dull ache resonated through his head, as if his mind were struggling to break free from the shackles of slumber. As he fought against the weight of darkness, the world around him remained shrouded in obscurity. His breath came out in short pants, anything more would make one of his broken ribs puncture his lungs. Turning into a wolf was sheer agony for him, but it didn't hold a candle to the unearthly pain he was feeling on every part of his body.
