CLARISSA

I paced back and forth in my room, frustrated. I still didn't know what the scroll had contained. Ruby—no—Gwen had suddenly disappeared into thin air, and I couldn't find her. Professor Hale had gone in search of Stefan, but he'd returned to me a while later, telling me that Stefan had sneaked out of the academy. My head was aching. I was so close to losing my mind. Even though my mate had assured me that he would figure everything out, I was restless.

"Come on, Clarissa. Go to bed. I'm trying to sleep here," May, one of my roommates, groaned, peering at me through bloodshot, half-closed eyes.

Muttering an apology, I moved over to my bed and lay down on it, staring at the ceiling with a heavy heart.

Sleep eventually whisked me away. But then the nightmares came.

...

Three days passed, and the break was over. Stefan and Gwen were still missing, and my nights were constantly tormented by nightmares. I couldn't shake off the feeling that something big was coming.

    JAXON I was seething. Clarissa's message had reached me crystal clear, and I was barely restraining my wolf, who was desperate to get to our mate. Even now, my body rebelled against me—weak, burning up, my muscles trembling from the aftershocks of the void's pull. I was still vulnerable from slipping in and out of existence, but none of that mattered.She was pregnant. Yet she was out there playing hero.Damnit, did she really not care about her own life?The reserve was off-limits for a reason, and I sure as hell hoped she wouldn't have to find out why. I doubled over at the gate of the reserve, panting hard as my exhaustion made itself known. I really wasn't supposed to be moving about in my state, but this was an emergency. My head pounded, a dull ache radiating behind my eyes, but I shoved past the pain.I needed to pull myself together. Only a couple of minutes earlier, Clarissa had almost walked in on me in my most vulnerable state, slipping into the void.If she'd walked

    CLARISSA It made perfect sense now. Callum was Elias, Kieran's elder brother whom I hadn't seen in a long time. He was the only one who ever called me Evie.All the same, why did he change his name? Why didn't he make it clear from the very beginning that he was Elias?There had to be more to him that I still wasn't aware of."Do you remember? I always doted on you," he said, and I scoffed."My father was wary of you each time you said you would marry me," I replied, chuckling.A grin tugged at his lips, a tender look in his eyes. His expression spoke volumes about his affection for me, but things were different now. I had a mate now, even though he was yet to accept me."I really don't want you to get hurt, Evie. Please be careful," he said, and I flashed him a small smile.Just as he turned away from me, I caught a whiff of a familiar scent.Professor Hale—No, Jaxon.He must be close by.Was he here to see me?I wanted to see him too, to make sure he was okay.

    CLARISSA I had the upper hand in this situation. So, I decided to take advantage of it."Why should I help you?" I asked, steeling my gaze. “You stole from me."Stefan's lips curled in a sneer."Have you forgotten? I know everything about you and Professor Hale," he said through gritted teeth.I stared at him in silence for a while. He must've been watching us. But there was no way he knew everything. He was bluffing. If it boiled down to exposing us, I would simply come clean and confess that Jaxon was my fated mate."Everything?" I rasped, feigning bewilderment.His smirk deepened. He thought he had me cornered, that I was crumbling under pressure. Idiot."Everything." He confirmed, and I let out a humourless laugh."Fine. I'll tell you what I can see," I finally told him."Come closer," I gestured at him with my head.His frown deepened as he leaned closer to me to hear what I had to say.The corner of my lips curved upwards, and I knocked my forehead into his.

    JAXON The blood hunt was a yearly event designed for first-tier elites. Usually, the chosen elites would pick other students of lower class to join the contest. They claimed it was merely a strength training test. But I knew better. It was an opportunity for massacre and brutal oppression. Most students either killed others to survive, or they got killed by the mysterious creatures involved in the hunt."Who chose her?" I said to Nina, barely restraining my growing fury.She gulped, a worried look on her face."It was Stefan," she replied, and Clarissa blinked, an expression of utter disbelief on her face."This must be his way of seeking revenge against me," she stated, and I sighed, rubbing the back of my neck."You don't understand, Clarissa. You can end up dead," I said to her and she looked at Nina who nodded to confirm my statement.My mate brought her hand to her lower belly, a blank look on her face."Can I forfeit the hunt?" She asked and my chest tightened. The las

    CLARISSA All of a sudden, the ceiling of the cave lit up, everyone gazed up at it in awe. There were creepers on the ceiling, but they were far from the ordinary. They had golden leaves that glowed brilliantly. My gaze met Stefan's, and he smirked. Then, he instantly took off. The others followed after him. Blowing out a breath, I followed behind. My feet came to a grinding halt when we were all met with a five-way passage. Instantly, I sensed that I'd seen this before. My eyes widened when I realized why.

    CLARISSA 'Mate!' Snow, my wolf, echoed in my head as a sweet scent flooded my nostrils. Tears of gratitude welled up in my eyes, and my heart started to pound a lot faster as I quickened my pace and followed the smell of my mate. It had to be Kieran. I was his chosen mate, and tonight, our mating ceremony was about to take place. My excitement went up a notch, and I broke into a sprint, hiking up my ceremonial red dress. All of a sudden, pain slammed into me so hard, I doubled over. With my eyes watering, I dropped to my knees. Whimpers escaped my lips as the pain continued to build, searing through me like a red-hot knife. I was confused and disoriented. I couldn't understand what was happening to me. I parted my lips to call out for my fiancé, but in an instant, I heard the sounds of his moans in my head. 'Fuck, MIA. You feel so good,' I heard him say and my confusion swelled within me. Mia? My bully? That couldn’t be right. My mind had to be playing tricks on me. Maybe I mish

    CLARISSA I was thirteen years old when my father was assassinated. His beta took over his position, and my life took a terrible turn. Although my father's beta had promised to investigate his death and bring them to justice, nothing had been done. Kieran, the new Alpha's son, had comforted me during those times, and I'd been fooled into believing that he truly cared about me. And now, it was up to my new mate to save me or toss me to the wolves."Help me," I said to him, and he fixed his gaze on me for a moment before glancing at the street ahead. Silently, he took off his velvet jacket and placed it around my shoulders."You're better off not associating yourself with me," he said, placing a small dagger in my hand."Go left. There's a river close by. If you can make it past the river, they won't get to you," he said, and I swallowed hard, unsure of what this meant for me.Was he rejecting me as well? I wondered.However, there was no time to dwell on this; I took his advic

    CLARISSA "Clarissa, you're pregnant," the healer announced.I felt the world tilt.Pregnant.The word felt foreign, unreal. Yet, deep down, hadn't I already known? The nausea, the exhaustion, the way my body felt different... I'd ignored the signs, unwilling to face what they meant.Six weeks had passed since I last saw my mate. The man who claimed me and then vanished into the night. It's been six weeks since the guards captured me and threw me back into this miserable cell.And now this?"She's pregnant?" Kieran asked, his voice laced with disbelief.The healer nodded, and he stormed towards me, his palm colliding with my cheek."You whore!" He yelled, and I glared at him."That's enough, Kieran," Alpha Garrick hissed, redirecting his gaze on me."Who is the father of your child?"I bit my lower lip, unsure of what to say. I barely knew who my mate was. All I knew was that he had the brightest golden eyes I'd ever seen."Are you going to stay silent?" Kieran demanded, and I

    CLARISSA Everyone was on edge. The burnt corpse had been identified as a first-year, bottom-tier student. No one knew who had done it, but the fear was spreading like wildfire.I couldn't shake off the look on my mate’s face when he'd made eye contact with me on the scene. He had asked me to meet up with him later at night. I'd sneaked out of my dorm while my roommates were asleep. I was nervous because it felt like the danger was finally unfolding.A hand touched my shoulder, and I turned around with a start, grabbing the person's shoulder and pinning them against the wall, their face pressed to the concrete."It's me! Ruby!" my stalker squeaked as I yanked at her arm.My eyes widened, and I released her right away. Groaning, she turned around to look at me while rubbing at her shoulder."You startled me!" I whispered harshly, scanning the hallway to make sure no one had seen us."I'm sorry. I was just wondering where you were going," she said.I tensed, unsure of what she t

    JAXON My feet came to an abrupt halt, my brows creasing up into a frown when I felt my mate's growing unease. Cursing under my breath, I retraced my footsteps, and sure enough, she was running after someone. I was going to ask her to quit running, but somehow, she soon came to a grinding halt. I listened closely to her conversation with the other first-year student, tense.Judging from how steady the first year’s heart was, it was clear that she wasn’t lying about anything. Just as I started to turn away, I heard Diana’s voice.“You’ve got to be kidding me,” I mumbled.There was no doubt that her confrontation was only going to end with violence.Either way, I needed to stop her.So I stepped out of my hiding place and cleared my throat, drawing their attention to me.“Don’t you have classes to attend?” I asked, and Diana scoffed before turning away with her minions.Clarissa let out a sigh of relief, her gratitude written all over her face. In that moment, something was unloc

    CLARISSA I woke up sore the next morning, my body aching as if I had been in a fight. To my disappointment, the book I'd grabbed hadn't helped with anything. There was no information about the prophecy. I should've searched for a different book, but I'd been too uneasy about the feeling that someone had been watching me.A sharp twist in my stomach made me sit up. My throat burned as nausea clawed its way up, and I stumbled out of bed, barely making it to the bathroom before my body betrayed me.I gripped the cold porcelain, my fingers trembling as I emptied the contents of my stomach."Are you okay, Rissy?!" My roommates yelled, and all I could do was heave in response.The door to the bathroom opened, and Ruby stepped in to rub my back."You really don't look so good, Rissa. Maybe you should go to the medical bay," she said, and I groaned in annoyance.I hate being pregnant, I groaned internally."I'll be fine," I whispered, and she shook her head in concern, a worried look on
