Padawan Novels & Stories

Caden suddenly became even more confused, and he could not help but mutter, “Do you mean that stepping into the Dark Realm is actually just walking through one of the twenty-seven parts of entering the path through martial arts?” Charlie nodded and replied calmly but cruelly, “Yes.” Caden felt extremely dejected and asked him, “Master Wade, what kind of path did you enter when you entered the path through martial arts? How many years did it take you to get on this path?”

I couldn’t shift because I was stuck. Alpha Leonardo didn’t protest. He shifted into his human form, standing bare before everyone. The blood of the men he has killed dripped through his body. Raising his hands in surrender, “Now, let go of her, Vogar.” His eyes narrowed. Even in his human form, he still looked like a predator. “Funny how you trust me, Brother.” Vogar squeezed my neck hard. “She is not worthy of a man like you. She has to….” His body suddenly vibrated behind me as he groaned in pain.

I glance at him quickly, then look away again. “I will not have a blemish on this school’s record,” the headmaster continues, voice cold and hard. “And you won’t,” Aiden responds smoothly. “Henry Miller would be better for her. He’s trained novices before.” The air turns to ice. I feel it. The tension. The testosterone. It crashes like a wave against the walls of the office. “With all due respect, Mr. Miller,” Aiden says, still infuriatingly calm. “She accepted me as her dom. And if your son wants her, he can challenge me for her. Danika Addison is my submissive.”

Nolan: Dinner had been peaceful. I couldn’t remember the last time that had happened. A meal shared without expectation, without confrontation. No storm lingering on the edges of every word. “Luna, is it true that you are trained to be the best of your kind?” One of the pack members asked. “My kind?” “You know as Luna and Alpha born, some even say that you were always a perfectionist, that you were stronger at her than everyone else.” Another girl chimed in. They were all younglings. I looked at Natalia and she was smiling, seeming more content than anything.

The professor's words jolt me out of my thoughts. Can he hear my thoughts? I look around. Can anyone else hear my thoughts? "Be quiet!" The annoying girl snaps at me. "You're assigned four top students who'll act as your guardians, training you to attain higher ranks." The professor goes on reading from a scroll in his hands. "Morien Ashwin, the dragon shifter." He points to the huge fire guy who mind linked me earlier. "Maddox Vargis, the werewolf." He points to the first guy I met—the one who stepped out of my mirror.

“Is it always going to be like this? Losing control?” “No,” he said immediately. “I’ll help you train. Hunter will help. You’ll learn to control it. I promise you that. We are not going to stop until you’ve mastered it. Whatever this was, you were chosen for it for a reason. And it was not because you wouldn’t be able to. On the exact contrary, it is because you are worthy of it.” A beat. “And if I can’t? What if I am not?” His arms tightened. “Then I’ll carry you through it until you can.” He said, looking down at me. “And I know in my heart, as well as I know my name, that you are worthy of everything that you have. Today, tomorrow, and until the end of time.”

"Alright, no more nonsense. Let’s all disperse and rest. We’ll start loading the trucks in order at seven tomorrow morning." Everyone exchanged hypocritical farewells. I still couldn’t hold back and called out to Dylan DuPont, "Deputy Commander, who are the dual-element superpower users at the base?" Dylan DuPont turned around with a smile and answered truthfully, "The Young Family’s youngest son, Ian Young, Third Rank Healing and Spiritual System; the Quinn Family’s youngest daughter, Skylar Quinn, Second Order Peak Spatial and Wood Element; and our Commander-in-Chief, Luke Locke, Third Rank Gold Element and Speed."

Their build was much better than Charlotte’s, even though she knew she was older than them by at least four years. Charlotte watched fascinated as they lined themselves up. Two lines for boys and two for girls. Then, a girl dressed in shorts and sports bra entered the field and stood in the center. She said something to them, Charlotte couldn’t hear her since they were watching from afar behind a tree. “That’s Kira…Our Head Warrior…Usually, Beta or Alpha trains them, but since they are busy today, Kira is taking over…!” Theo pointed towards the girl. Kira…. She vaguely remembered Ayleen mentioning her name.

the guy complained, “You’ll get mobbed! For sure!” “Don’t worry, we’ll take care of that stuff,” Johan replied. “I’m Johan, that’s Dorin, Margarette and Lilith, and you?” “I’m 2nd lt. Grayson!” Lilith piped in. “I-I’m Sgt. Matthew Owen...” said the new recruit, “elemental weapons... master class...”

He noticed it and said, “Grey of Dark Knight, 18. A black belter and master of martial arts. In charge of training new agents and expert in face to face fights. Aikon Advincula outside but just call me Aikon. I’m Stargazer’s bar tender and Polaris’s barista. Hope we can be friends.” “Ai.” JD-hyung muttered as he nodded and shook his hand. Then finally, he turned to Sean-hyung with a smile I can’t explain. Sean-hyung spoke. “Mist of Dark Knight, 18. Number one in handling arnis, chako and sword. The intelligence officer who has contacts anywhere you go. Sean Madrigal but call me Sean. Stargazer and Polaris’s cook.” He stopped and smiled. But instead of shaking his hand, JD-hyung pulled Sean-h
