Alyssa teared her eyes away from the mirror and sat on the bed. She wasn't pleased about the change but she was grateful she had a new face. One that was without wrinkles and scars even though she didn't recognise it.She wondered who it was that had owned this face that she was going to have to live with for the rest of her life.“How do you feel? Do you like it?” Ebsy asked as she walked in.Alyssa sighed. “I feel weird. I mean, who has this new face though?”“It's no one's. I just told the surgeon to do his thing and change a little. Like your cheekbone for example, it's higher and that's one of the few.”Alyssa swallowed. “She looks pathetic. Insufferable actually.”He nodded and squeezed her hands in his. “I know you don't like it but you'll have to live with it. This new face still has a lot of beauty, only a few things have changed.”She groaned. “I'm okay now. That means I can walk around, right? I mean, what do you think? It's been a while since I've been here.”“That's what

The locker room's light flickered and then abruptly went out, plunging Alyssa into complete darkness. Her breath caught in her throat, and for a moment, panic threatened to overwhelm her. “Hello, I'm still in here,” she called out in fear. If they locked her up she would have to stay in there till someone realised she was missing.She had just been about to put on her clothes and leave, only to find them missing. A cold realisation washed over her: someone had tampered with her things. “It was here just now,” she whispered as she looked around in frustration. “Oh God.”Clad only in a towel, she felt vulnerable and exposed, but Alyssa had never been one to succumb to fear easily.Oh no this can’t be happening,” she whispered as she stared into the darkness. She couldn't stay here. Ebsy would worry about her and when he calls her he wouldn't be able to reach her. How then would he know where she was? She already knew the people of Blue Bane hadn't changed one bit.Someone had been in

“What's going on?” Coach demanded.“The test of power,” someone replied from the crowd and cheered.“That's enough you two,” Coach protested but her voice was barely heard over the din of excitement and chaos.She tried to come in between them but before she could do anything, Kalista reached for Alyssa and pinned her to the floor and began to beat her. Alyssa was full of rage and returned the beating. She couldn't take it anymore.Everytime someone wanted to hurt her and they saw physical attempts didn't work, they always used verbal and it was always her family.“You get so mad when your family is talked about? Why then didn't you hit me? I brought it up!” Kalista spat.“I was going to mess you up,” Alyssa said and grabbed Kalista roughly by the neck. “Who are you to talk about me? You don't even know me.”“Maybe I don't,” Kalista whispered. “But I do know my brother brought in a burnt bitch and had her face fixed. If you infuriate me peasant girl, I'll have your face fucked so bad

Alyssa moved through the arena with deliberate precision and calculated steps. She looked at Kalista with a pathetic expression on her face. Despite her wolf's insistent urge to use her full strength and have Kalista bedridden, Alyssa held back.She didn't want to fight anymore. She was hoping to convince Kalista with a less brutal defeat.-Just a little more strength Alyssa and you'll be putting her where she belongs.Alyssa ignored her wolf while Kalista watched her, her eyes were wide with disbelief and growing rage. A flash of red flickered in her eyes as she grew furious.As Alyssa approached her to conclude the fight, Kalista's hand flicked and something small and sharp flew from her cuff towards Alyssa. The pain halted Alyssa's movement and the crowd who had already assumed Alyssa's victory was certain, gasped collectively. They hadn't expected any underhanded tricks from Kalista at this point.Alyssa felt a sudden sharp pain in her chest and stumbled. She gasped as blood spur

Ebsy's eyes were fixed on Alyssa the whole time. He had refused to blink or leave her side afraid that he was going to miss something. Alyssa's left hand shifted and her eyes twitched, causing Ebsy to sit up straight and watch closely.His first instinct was to call the doctor but he didn't. Alyssa stirred in her sleep and a groan escaped her lips. Her eyelids slowly fluttered open. Her vision was blurry before her eyes adjusted to her surroundings and she saw a pair of eyes googling at her.“Wait! Don't move,” he said and touched her arm lightly.“What's wrong?” She asked weakly as she tried to figure out where she was.“You need to rest, please,” Ebsy said, concern etched on his face as he scrutinised her.A doctor came in at that moment to check on Alyssa and she knew at that moment that something was wrong. Her head felt heavy. Too heavy for her neck and she felt intense pain all over her body like she had been stepped on.“How do you feel Ma'am?” The doctor asked.“Weak,” she sai
