SERAPHINA’S POVIn the blink of an eye, it’s already Tuesday and the events of Saturday seem to have passed over my head like a fading dream, and once again, I’m thrown deep into school work.The funds have already been submitted to the Administrator’s secretary, and all thoughts about the election wash to the back of my mind until the next event.Now, presently, in the middle of Art class, I let myself get absorbed into my latest art work, dipping my paint brush into the palette and making never ending strokes in corners that call out to me.At the beginning, I'm not quite sure what I'm creating. It takes about 20 minutes of painting in the vivid red eyes before I realize what it truly is.The wolf from my visionNo matter how hard I try to put it behind me, pass it off as just a random flash, the harder it gets for me. Then, there’s the incessant nagging at the back of my mind, telling me that, somehow, it has something to do with the first Alpha King and the Astria tribe. I know i

SERAPHINA’S POVFive of the feral beasts close in on us slowly; each of them baring their fangs aggressively.I suck in a breath now, feeling fear crippling me on the spot. Even if I’m not part wolf, I feel the animosity oozing off each of them directed at us. I’m stunned, just as I always am when I’m reminded by the fact that this school really is filled with wolves, and it’s not just a name they call themselves.I've seen their beast-like reactions, with the occasional half-transformation here and there, but I rarely ever get to see the fully formed wolves themselves. They tower above like monstrous creatures, dwarfing any regular dog or wolf breed, nearly matching my own height even when they're on all fours.“Stand back.” Kamila speaks now after getting up and dusting herself.In just seconds, her composure shifts back to the usual high-nosed, classy bitch, exuding authority not just in her words but also in her stance – down to the bored expression she wears now.The confidence

ARTEMIS’ POV(HOURS EARLIER)A hard pang shoots through my chest, momentarily rattling my wolf. It puts me on the edge instantly, and I’m forced to sit upright, eyes scanning the vicinity for any signs of danger.However, I see nothing except a class of bored students, then I relax into my seat once more. Weird.The teacher standing in front continues to drone on about the biology of the werewolf, explaining how the larger organs shift along with the rest of the body during a turn. However, I'm too bored to pay attention.Having already studied far beyond the current stage in class, school seems pointless to me.If it wasn’t for father’s demand of an above average attendance record, most of my time won’t be wasted in conventional classrooms, learning things one can easily find in textbooks.I tap on my table, counting every second until the school bell rings again, freeing me from this torturous hell. Thankfully, it’s not long until the familiar ringing sound echoes from the hallway,

KAMILA’S POVI’ve never truly understood Artemis’ friend, Ace.He was a philanderer, even worse than my mate, willing to sleep with anyone in a skirt who succumbed to his good looks and irresistible charm, and yet...Yet, during moments like this, when it's just him and me, he shows a side of himself that I still find hard to believe. He becomes so sweet and kind, even going so far as to do me favors, almost like a little boy nursing the biggest crush. Despite his excessive gestures, I continually turn him down, hoping he'll realize how stupid it is and kill this silliness himself. He picks me up in his arms with ease, and I let him for once. Being a future pack warrior, he's stronger than most wolves of his rank. I have to commend him for that; it makes him worthy enough to stand by Artemis' side.The moment we start moving, I'm forced to hold onto him. He briskly walks towards the nurse's office, carrying me silently in his armsFrom the corner of my eyes, I spot Artemis again, a

SERAPHINA’S POV“There is no fucking way that I will move into your room with you.”“I wasn’t asking you, Sera.” He says sternly, tuning away to leave while I stand there, still flabbergasted by his suggestion.Imagine waking up every single day to see the face of the literal bane of my existence. As if the school hours I've already been forced to spend with him weren't enough.“Wait.” I call out to him before he can leave, stopping him just at the door.He halts in his tracks to look at me.“I can’t possibly move in with you - that’s insane. T-that’s the boys’ dorm.”“I will request for permission from the administrator. I bet he will understand if I mention that Father’s precious human could be at risk of dying if not.”"What about Kamila, your mate?" I can't help the incredulous tone that seeps into my voice.He freezes on the spot momentarily, a look flashing in his eyes before he shrugs it off. "Kamila should be the least of your worries. Being the Alpha princess, there'd be co
