SERAPHINA’S POVAt the sound of the buzz, I run right into the maze, picking an entrance the same as everyone else.I’m immediately greeted by high walls that I couldn’t possibly climb onto to see the end of the maze - the walls standing at almost 20 feet high.I run though the path, coming into a two-way path and choosing the left.Honestly, I have no idea what I’m doing but I imagine after trying every possible path, I would happen across the exit.But in the meantime, I have another objective.The sight of a chest sitting against the wall draws my attention and I immediately run for it, pulling it open.Apart from the fundamental rule of the game stating one only wins when they successfully leave, there were other ways to boost your points while in the maze and it was in the form of tokens that gave points.Chests were hidden within the maze with trinkets, raging from bronze, silver and gold - gold having the highest points, three, and bronze having just one.I’ve already flunked a
SERAPHINA’S POVI don’t know how long I’ve been down here, but I can roughly guess it’s been almost thirty minutes by now.Thirty minutes of fading in and out of consciousness while the blazing sun manages to seep into the ditch and burn my skin.At this point, I don’t even know if the tournament is still on but right now, it’s the least of my worries. I may or may not be rescued by anyone anytime soon, meaning I have to figure this shit out.I try again for the third time since falling in here to sit up. My back hurts insanely but I push through it, commanding my muscles to contract and push myself up into a sitting position. I’m successful but that’s how far I can go on my own. Even now, my body still trembles due to how weak my muscles are.I’m tempted to accept to my fate until I hear footsteps again.Could it be the girl from earlier? Or maybe it’s another player walking by. I wonder if it’d be wise to call out for help, not knowing if I’d be helped or ignored.And for the brief
SERAPHINA’S POVFrom what I’ve gathered from the previous tournament, Artemis and I made it to the finals - which is a shocker.Him with 58 points, and I with 27- everyone else was beaten down with their points stolen.The situation perfectly explains the glares I received as soon as it was made known that I would be moving to the next round and while I still don’t want to believe that Artemis had a hand in all of this, it’s highly likely.That boy is an enigma I can’t seem to categorize because of his inconsistencies. Is he an asshole, or a wounded soul?Even now while I stand in front of the last task before a winner is decided, numerous eyes stare at me shamelessly.The pressure in the air around is almost unbreathable.However, I’m used to all of it at this point. Instead of bothering, I sigh, leaning back against Olivia as she massages the knots in my shoulders. She’s been obsessed with my well-being ever since I came back bruised and battered last time.“Yeah, right there.” I s
KAMILA’S POV(FROM A FEW HOURS EARLIER)“Remember, this weekend, my cousin from Starlight pack is visiting and wants to see the both of us.” I say to my mate while we wait for the final event of this tournament to begin.The sun is extremely hot outside today, yet students gather in numbers to watch the game and honestly, I don’t see the point to any of this - the incessant need to engage in pointless activities that adds no value to one’s skills or gains them any type of useful connection in the Wolfdom.Why waste an afternoon riding a boat when you can be studying on important things like pack politics and how each member of the council holds power in what region of the pack?However, my mate seems to enjoy such pointless activities such as this, even going as far as making it an annual thing amongst the boys.Right now, his eyes are directed at me but I can easily tell he’s thinking about something else, even while our hands are intertwined.“We also have that date next week Friday
SERAPHINA’S POVMy consciousness slowly seeps back into my body, but with my memory still foggy. When I finally my pry my eyes open, its suddenly met with the bright lights from the fluorescent hanging above my head.The sounds of arguing from wherever aids in the pain of my already throbbing head, making me realize that it’s the noise that woke me up - but I have no memory of ever falling asleep.Speaking of no memory, my surroundings are equally foreign.“How can you not let me see my roommate!” That sounds like Olivia yelling out to whoever she’s speaking to, furious for some reason.“This place has strict access to only a certain group of wolves.” Another voice that closely resembles Artemis responds more calmly.“But she’s my roommate, not one of yours - you’re the reason she’s like that in the first place.”“Get lost, omega.” He bites back, reluctant to give her what she wants.I wonder what’s going on again - why Olivia and Artemis are arguing over me, why I am in here, and wh
SERAPHINA’S POVFew minutes later, I’m standing outside the door with the tube of ointment in my hand, doubting everything I have just heard inside the room.All that talk about owning me for a month and owing him a debt. There’s no way he was serious, right? No way there’s a rule like that.Yet he left me with the rule book to go over it myself. I look down at the thick-rimmed book, knowing he acted way too cocky for it to just be a lie or a tease.I have a bad feeling about this.“Sera!”Olivia leans off the wall she’s been on while waiting for me for the past few minutes, hugging me tightly again. All the sore points on my body throbs all at once.Jasper that seems to have been with her all this while draws closer as well, putting enough distance between us while we have this very warm reunion.“I’m fine, we just had a little chat and nothing happened.” I assure her when she pulls away, but the look in her eyes lets me know it’s not enough for her.“How could you, Sera?” She begins
SERAPHINA’S POVAlmost everyone I walk pass in the school hallway throws me a smile and waves enthusiastically at me, so much so that it feels way too unreal and every time, I don’t know how to react - so I smile awkwardly.It feels as if it was just yesterday that I was scorned and made a target for the whole school to vent on. Today, I’m an accepted member of the society.Not fully accepted though. Even if the omega population in school exceeded other rankings, they only made up roughly 35% of the school population.I can work with that.Another person stops mid-walk to wave at me again and ends up being rudely brushed by someone else walking by, causing them to trip.I wince, knowing that definitely must have hurt, but he suddenly sits up with a wide smile again.“I’m okay!” He says without me asking.I chuckle at his bustling energy as I continue to make my way to class before the bell rings. I will admit that so much has changed in only a few days. My little win ended up giving
DISCLAIMER: THIS CHAPTER WOULD PISS YOU OFF, LOL.SERAPHINA’S POV“You have got to be kidding me.” I fold both arms below my chest, raising a brow at him while he spits utter nonsense.Clearly, all of this is just a joke to him.“You can’t be serious.”“Do I look like I’m not? I went this far to let you know the severity of it. The best thing you can do is honor this simple request from your new master.” He smirks wider.I scoff at him angrily - the word master irks my soul beyond understanding.“You’re not my master.” I correct him.“Less talking, more kissing. We don’t have all day, do we?”I stare down at his shoes, dark brown leather moccasins that look way too expensive and perfectly polished.My pride serves as a barrier, and a bitter surge of hatred runs through my veins. Do I have a choice? Can I still fight this? Fighting his cruel whims has only ever put me in bigger shit. Right now, stepping on his toes would do me no good – especially not with the backing of the rule book
