The next day, Roxanne found herself in a class for the next lesson. She could only sigh in relief knowing she wasn't wrestling or hunting; those two lessons had been nothing but disastrous.“Over here!” Isleen and Willow waved her over to the middle of the classroom room where they were seated. Roxie passed the other girls and then sat between them.Roxie scanned around the room, finding nothing out of the ordinary; just a normal classroom located at the top floor of the pack house with a marker board, a teacher's desk and a shelf of books. What the heck were they going to learn now? History? She thought being kidnapped from her old life meant she had stopped schooling.“Have any idea what we are going to learn today?'' She looked at Willow and Isleen but they shook their heads but looked excited. Roxie decided to look forward to the lesson.Five minutes later, Roxie saw a familiar face walking into the classroom with a pair of reading glasses at the bridge of his nose.“Violet eyes!”
Roxanne had decided to go with the wind and see where it would land her. She had decided to learn and accept that this was now her fate and she couldn't escape with the knowledge she had—she wouldn't make it before she would get caught. She'd decided to go with whatever they say and escape when the opportunity struck—she only hoped her family would stop worrying, wishing there was a way to tell them she was alright.Learning meant having extra training and there Roxie was, dressed in a pair of black leggings and a tank top, her feet were bare and her black hair held up in a messy tail and in front of her was Kaizen in a red sweatshirt that matched his eyes and joggers and surrounded them were padded walls, and high-impact, shock-absorbing flooring. The pack house contained everything.Roxie shamelessly roamed her eyes over Kaizen. He looked good in sweatshirt and his white hair; she had the urge to brush her fingers through his locks. She shamelessly licked her lips, realizing he was
Roxanne found herself in the same practice room three days later, this time all the girls were there, sitting on a mat individually while two empty mats were in front of them as they waited for the Sage incharge of their training today.Roxie was glad it wasn't anything physical. She was exhausted and could barely keep her eyes open as she yawned for the nth time since she stepped into the room twenty minutes ago. She was only human and there wasn't so much her fragile body could take. They keep forgetting that.“Are you okay?” Willow leaned towards her with concern and Roxie nodded then let out another yawn. She just wanted to go back to bed and have a long sleep of five days.A minute later, the door opened and Roxie saw another familiar face she hadn't seen in a while; golden eyes, who gave her a little wave when his eyes met hers, Roxie waved back.“He's the fourth Sage right, Jarvis?” she catechized Willow and shewolf nodded. Roxie snorted. What was so special about her that they
The next Sage that showed up was Azriel and it was another training session at the field and today, the girls trained with their weapon of choice individually.Roxanne stood at a far distance from the target board ahead of her and got into a proper stance just like Kaizen taught her and placed the arrow on the bowstring correctly and gave a strong taut. “Look directly at your target, and focus on your sight or arrow tip.” Azriel asserted as he came behind her, smirking as he leveled her up. “You are learning well, less work for me,” he grinned then tapped her on the shoulder and moved to the next champion, helping them with her weapon. Roxie stared at the target ahead of her with a determined look and with a tighter pull, she let the arrow fly across the field but instead of hitting it, it flew over the board; the other girls laughed but Roxie only smiled at the progress and placed another arrow on her bow.“You should keep your dominant foot forward and relax your shoulders,”Roxie
Roxanne stood among the other girls in the field, in between Isleen and Willow as they waited for Kaizen who was taking longer than usual. Normally he was already here before they arrived. Did he get ill? Nah! Roxie thought. She saw him yesterday and he was in perfect health.Ten more minutes later, Kaizen finally showed up but he wasn't alone as he sauntered behind two other guys that Roxie found unfamiliar and didn't look much older than Kaizen. She scowled but she wasn't the only one perplexed as the other girls muttered among themselves.She bent towards Isleen. “Who are they?”“Alpha Oziys favorite sons, Lucien and Maverick, they are Kaizen's older brothers,”Kaizen had brothers? And Alpha Oizys was their father? “Why am I only seeing them now?”“I believe they were sent out for pack related issues,” Isleen shrugged, unconvinced of her answer.Roxie wanted to grill more questions but the two guys were standing in front of them now. Kaizen went to stand at the corner like he wasn'
Roxanne found herself in the pack library. If she wanted to learn more, taking Rune's classes wasn't enough.The library was tall, with majestic shelves that stretched towards the ceiling with books of all shades and sizes. The floors were polished, large windows that flooded the space with natural light, a grand staircase curving up to the second floor and cozy reading nooks with plush armchairs.Roxie felt like she was in a sacred ground, this library was way too neat and grand. Curiosity led to a shelf and she grabbed the first book that made its way into her hand. “The Five Sages,” She read the title. She opened the first page.“Hi,” Roxie let out a little scream and she dropped the book in shock but a hand grabbed it and she met the striking brown eyes of a boy with two huge glasses at the bridge of his nose.“Sorry, I didn't mean to scare you,” the boy immediately apologized. “I'm Cein, Rune's younger brother, I help keep the library clean,”Roxie smiled at the cute way he adj
“AGAIN!”Roxanne was panting as her back met the floor for the seventh time in 30 minutes since they started training. She got up with a grunt. And got into a fighting stance.Kaizen was mad. She didn't need to be a genius to figure that out and he was taking it out of her. She never called him weak so why was she the one who got to feel his wrath when she had barely put anything in her stomach. She was a weak human for goodness sake, nothing compared to their supernatural strength.“What the hell, Kaizen?!” She exclaimed because what the fuck was his problem.“No talking,” that was the only shitty response she got before he was throwing punches at her face that Roxie dodged with practiced steps, however, in the next moment, she was hitting the ground hard again.“Get up!” Kaizen ordered while Roxie had enough of his brutal training on her poor oh-so weak body. She got up but this time, didn't give him time to retaliate as she circled her arms around his hips and tackled him to the gr
Kaizen ogled at the ceiling of his room that was obscured by darkness with the curtains of his room closed and the lights out.He liked it like this; being enveloped by nothing but darkness—it gave him a sense of security. He shut his eyes and tried to sleep but was abruptly disturbed as his sharp ears caught the sound of footsteps coming towards his home.He got out of bed and threw over a hoodie on his naked upper body and stepped out of his bedroom. He entered his living room and smelled the air around him, trying to detect who was coming his way. Instantly he could tell it wasn't any of the Sages but an omega, then came a knock on the door; he opened it.“Ravna,” his crimson eyes punctured through the cold gray ones of the redhead. “How did you get here?” The forest wouldn't allow anyone to find his home unless he allowed them.Revna raised her hand where his eyes fell on a little cut on her wrist. She used her blood. “Did you forget, I lived here till I was ten. I learned from y
