"But Alpha, can we trust the other pack? They've been our enemies for generations. How can we be sure they won't betray us?" The Alpha nodded, acknowledging the concern. "I understand your fears, but we must look beyond the past if we are to secure our future. We have received assurances from their Alpha, and we have agreed upon a way to solidify our alliance."

I glanced towards the heap of grasses with a frown as I dug in deeper, hoping to find out what it was. I pulled out my rake and found out it was stained with a red liquid. My heart raced as I wondered if it was blood. With shaky hands and piqued curiosity I dug deeper with my rake. The rake fell from my hand in shock and my hand flew towards my mouth as I stared at dead crows with their bodies discerned. They looked like the same crows from my nightmare last night which made me more scared. I glanced around at everyone who was working. Was this real or was there someone here messing with me?

I asked. She nodded once. “His name is Kade,” she said. “He was one of the top candidates in Genesis.” Wilson made a choking sound. “Oh great,” he said. “So now we have a top candidate chasing us.

I could feel Brandon go still beside me.

⸻ Scene 5 – Foreshadowing and Stakes Even with Talia’s influence waning, Harper knew the world wasn’t fully tamed. Campus rumors, subtle jealousy, and unexpected scrutiny could appear at any moment.

Harper understood something fundamental: victory wasn’t about annihilating rivals—it was about control, clarity, and connection.

I crossed my arms, waiting for him to spill it. “Just say it, Stellan,” I muttered. “It’s a proposal.” “Proposal? What’s going on?” Arda asked. “Someone’s proposing to their fiancée in one of the halls,” he explained. “Wow,” we all gasped. “That’s actually sweet. Let’s go join the excitement!” Burj al, wasn’t just a restaurant, it had a hotel section too, so hearing there was a hall nearby didn’t surprise me. My roommates wore excited expressions as we followed the path and turned a corner where a waitress directed us.

He pushed it open just an inch. "It's empty," he whispered. "Come on." We climbed out into a luxurious office. It smelled like expensive cigars and old money. But before we could reach the door, it swung open. It wasn't a guard. It was Cassian Vale, Maxwell’s biggest rival. He was holding a gun, and he was pointing it straight at Maxwell’s chest. "I knew you'd come this way, Thorne," Cassian said with a crooked smile. "But you’re a bit late. The police are already at the gates. And they aren't here for the ring."

"Intentionally paired?" I repeated in a strained voice as the reality of the situation finally sank in.

"It's fine. We're just playing around." Then, it was Sophie's turn. She was better than Sean, but not by much. Only five hit the target area out of her 10 darts. She turned to me, her eyes full of thinly veiled contempt. "If you admit defeat now, we can forget the bet. I'd hate to watch you embarrass yourself." The words made my stomach turn. I had not seen a trace of hesitation from her when Sean had driven his darts into my face on the picture I tacked on, yet she was trying to play the caring girlfriend after that? Please.
