Kate’s POV:“What the f*ck did you do to her?” Deimon yelled, the intensity of his volume making me jump in my spot.I was hyperventilating, seeing Monica’s blood continuously drip out of her hair. The ground below her was covered in blood while Deimon too was stained with her blood.My legs were shaking as I was gripped by anxiety by the sight of the blood and the bruises that were covering her arms and face.“I-I didn’t do it. I swear.” I cried out as sweat and tears covered my entire face. I wasn’t able to move from my spot as my body froze up.I felt numb all over my body, making it extremely difficult for me to remain focused on what was going on.“What is going on here? You guys have taken far too long.” Mr Cooper’s voice echoed into the cave, prompting both Deimon and I to shift our attention from Monica to it.“Oh my god. What the hell happened here?” Mr Cooper raised his tone, out of concern when his vision caught sight of both Monica and Chris’ bodies.“Forget it. We need to
Kate’s POV:I stood outside the house that was explicitly made for the hunting team of the academy. The front door of the house was wide open with various coloured lights flashing outside. Many people were crowding the building, attending the party that was thrown because of their consecutive win against the teams of other academies.“Kate, what’s wrong? Let’s go inside.” Anna said with excitement when she realized that I stopped walking further just before entering the front yard.“I don’t think I should come. I don’t want to ruin the party. Everyone already hates me because of everything that happened earlier.” I expressed the reason behind my hesitation to attend the party.I couldn’t imagine being near anyone after the entire chaos that took place in combat class. I was embarrassed to show my face in public after that.It was only because of Anna’s insistence that I was even able to get out of bed, dress up and walk all the way to the team’s house on campus.Anna thinned her lips
In front of me, I saw Deimon and Gandal fighting each other, both their faces bruised and bloodied up. Many people gathered at the entrance of the room, cheering for either of them to win.I was horrified, seeing the two Alphas battle each other, but no matter how much I wanted to stop the fight, my body remained frozen. I knew that if I put myself in their way, I would be crushed instantly.“Stop this! Stop it!” Anna yelled from the entrance but neither Gandal nor Deimon paid any heed to her.Suddenly, amidst their punches and kicks, a loud whistle was blown. The campus police entered the room, disengaging the fight almost instantly as they separated both Gandal and Deimon.They tried to break free from the police’s hold but they eventually gave up.“I’m sorry but we received numerous complaints of a commotion here. We’ll need to take both you Alphas to the station asap. Everyone else here, come with us. We’d need your statement.” The police officer said as the other officers rounded
Shrugging the thoughts aside, I opened the door and locked it immediately as I slipped in.Knowing I was all alone at last, I couldn’t help but break down as my anxiety flourished at an alarming rate. My face turned red, and my breathing fastened in pace. Sweat and fears dripped down my body as I recalled everything that happened.Monica’s words stung me hard, no matter how hard I tried to ignore them. It pained me to think that she believed I was capable of not only hurting her but also trying to steal her fiancé. It made me feel disgusted just thinking about it.Although I didn’t have a wolf, I realized the importance of having a mate is paramount to a werewolf. I would never want to step on someone else’s happiness just for some cheap fun with them.I wasn’t like that, but everyone in the entire academy believed that that was who I was. A cheap wh*re.Picking myself up from the floor, I dragged my body into the bathroom. I didn’t know what else could make me feel better, so I decid
As he stared at me silently, a tight slap slashed against my cheek, making me cry in pain.“The entire pack looked down on me today at the coming-of-age ceremony, for the first time since I was Alpha, and it was all because of you!” he rebuked with a deep raspy voice.His eyebrows were furrowed while his face harbored a disgusted expression as he scanned me from head to toe.“I’m not going to be made the laughing stock of my own pack. I’m going to get your wolf out of you, one way or the other,” he snarled at me before grabbing a hold of my wrist and dragging me away.No matter how much I cried or squirmed, he did not care. He kept on dragging me hard until we reached the dungeon located underground below the packhouse.He threw me inside a cellar, my cries echoing inside. I thinned my lips as my eyes widened at the dullness of the cell.“Grandpa, I’m sorry. Please forgive me,” I cried, feeling alone and cold as my grandpa exited the cellar, leaving me on the hard floor.I was gripped
Deimon’s POV:I unlocked the windows and opened them wide. Instantly, I shifted myself into my black wolf, Onyx, and jumped out from the window."Deimon, wait! Come back here!" Monica yelled out of the window, but I turned a deaf ear to her.I ran at full speed, jumping from tree to tree with the help of the branches. I didn't want to run into anyone on the campus grounds, so being on the trees made sense to me at that moment.I wanted to run until I was completely exhausted. Exercise was my only channel that could help calm my rage.As I continued my way across the trees and into the woods, suddenly, the golden eyes of my wolf shone as he took complete control.He diverted from the path that led us into the woods and ran in a different direction.I didn't know what he was up to, but soon, all my questions would be answered when he stopped on a tree that was standing tall outside the bathroom of one of the girls' dorm rooms."What the hell are you up to? Are you seriously horny right
Kate’s POV:My heart was beating, not just out of fear but excitement as well. It was overwhelming to process both the emotions but it was worth it.I stood patiently waiting by the gates of the academy, wearing a thick blue long sleeved sweatshirt with a pair of jeans. The hood of my sweatshirt was placed over my head to hide my identity.It was finally time. It was finally time that I could leave the academy and the werewolf world, in hopes for a better future for myself.I took in deep breaths to slow down the excitement that was building up inside me as I looked around. There were several guards in uniform with the academy’s flag stitched on the sleeves.They were at their posts, keeping a sharp eagle eye on their surroundings so that no one goes in or out without proper authorization, especially at the entrance/exit.It was at that moment, my lips curved at its ends when suddenly a thick white fog began to engulf the entire campus grounds.There were loud voices and murmurs cutti
Deimon’s POV:I plucked her from the ground and tossed her onto my shoulder. The look in her eyes when she watched me lunge her way would stick with me forever.It was as if she had seen her death approaching her. For some reason, It annoyed me how frightened she appeared as if I was this evil monster who would eat her alive.This was a pattern with her. Whenever she was around me, she behaved that way, making me feel like a ruthless beast.It was the first time however that she dared to disobey my words. What the f*ck she was up to, running away from the academy was something that I couldn’t understand.All I knew is that she couldn’t get away that easily.I shook my head to get rid of my thoughts as I focused on what I had to do. Kate was so light in weight that I didn't mind carrying her back to the academy.As I jumped off the train with her over my shoulder, I noticed that she had come out from the state of trance and was now protesting for her release.She began tossing her arms
"We can’t trust them anymore," one of the dissenters was saying. "This alliance is going to destroy us. We need to take control before it’s too late.""And what about Kate?" another voice asked. "She’s the key to all this. If we take her out, Deimon will crumble."Kate’s breath caught in her throat. The betrayal was more profound than she had imagined. But before she could process it further, Deimon stepped forward, revealing himself to the group."What do you think you’re doing?" he demanded, his voice low and dangerous.The dissenters froze, their eyes wide with shock. But it was the figure at the center of the group that caught Kate’s attention—the one she had seen in her vision. It was Garrick, the wolf who had voiced his doubts earlier that day."Garrick," Deimon said, his voice filled with disbelief and anger. "How could you?"Garrick met his gaze, unrepentant. "This is bigger than you, Deimon. Bigger than any of us. The pack’s survival is at stake. You’re too blinded by your lo
“They’ve resurfaced,” Anna continued, her voice tight with urgency. “And they’ve teamed up with the rival Alpha. They’re after the Luna’s Tear, yes, but that’s not all. They need you, Kate.”“Me?” Kate’s voice was barely above a whisper.Anna nodded, her gaze softening with sympathy. “Your bloodline, Kate. It traces back to the first Luna, the one who originally wielded the Luna’s Tear. It’s said that only her descendants can fully unlock its power. They need you to gain that power.”Deimon’s grip on the edge of the table tightened, his knuckles turning white. “So this isn’t just about uniting the packs. They want to use Kate as a weapon.”“Exactly,” Anna confirmed. “They believe that with the Luna’s Tear and Kate, they can control not just the packs, but the entire supernatural world. They’ll stop at nothing to get what they want.”A heavy silence fell over the room as the weight of Anna’s words settled in. Kate felt a storm of emotions swirling within her—fear, anger, a deep sense o
Kate stirred awake, the first light of dawn filtering through the heavy curtains of their bedroom. She felt the warmth of Deimon’s body beside her, his arm draped protectively over her waist. For a moment, she allowed herself to stay still, savoring the peacefulness of the morning, a rare moment of calm before the chaos of the day would begin.As if sensing her thoughts, Deimon tightened his hold on her, pulling her closer. "Good morning," he murmured, his voice still heavy with sleep.Kate turned in his arms to face him, her heart fluttering at the sight of his familiar features, softened by the early light. "Morning," she whispered back, her lips curving into a small smile. "Did you sleep well?"He brushed a strand of hair from her face, his fingers lingering on her cheek. "With you by my side? Always."She laughed softly, a sound that seemed to lighten the air between them. "You always know just what to say.""It’s the truth," he replied, his voice serious now. "Every day with you
The dawn of a new day bathed the Academy grounds in a soft, golden light. Kate stood in the clearing, feeling the energy of the Luna’s Tear coursing through her, amplifying her newfound powers. Deimon stood beside her, his presence a comforting anchor.“Alright, Kate,” he said, his voice steady and encouraging. “Let’s see what you can do.”Kate closed her eyes and focused, letting the energy flow through her. She felt the air around her shift, responding to her will. With a flick of her wrist, she manipulated the light and shadows, creating intricate patterns in the air. Deimon watched with awe and pride, and Kate could feel his support bolstering her confidence.“You’re getting better every day,” he said, smiling.“Thanks to you,” she replied, meeting his gaze. “Your belief in me makes all the difference.”Their training sessions had become a daily routine, drawing the attention of others at the Academy. Whispers of Kate’s abilities spread, and soon, instructors and students alike be
Kate sat cross-legged on her bed, the old leather-bound journal resting on her lap. The faded gold lettering on the cover read “Erica,” her mother’s name. Her fingers traced the letters as she took a deep breath, feeling a strange mix of excitement and trepidation. This journal held the secrets of her family’s past, secrets that could change everything she knew about herself.Deimon entered the room, his presence steady and reassuring. He noticed the journal and sat beside her, placing a comforting hand on her shoulder. “Are you ready?” he asked softly.Kate nodded, her resolve firm. “Yes. Let’s find out what my mother had to say.”Opening the journal, she began to read aloud. The first entries were mundane, detailing everyday life, but as she turned the pages, the tone shifted. Her mother’s words grew more urgent, more desperate.***July 10, 1995I’ve kept this secret for so long, hidden from everyone, even my own family. The connection to the Umbra Pack is deeper than anyone knows.
The news spread like wildfire throughout Umbra Academy. Gandal, the future Alpha of the Norse Pack, had issued a challenge to Deimon, seeking to test his strength and authority. Jealousy and ambition had driven Gandal to this point, and now the entire Academy was abuzz with anticipation.Deimon stood in the training room, his thoughts racing as he prepared for the duel. Kate and their allies were gathered around, their support a steady source of strength.“Are you sure about this?” Kate asked, her voice laced with concern. “Gandal is known for being ruthless.”Deimon nodded, meeting her worried gaze. “I have to do this. It’s not just about me; it’s about proving our strength and leadership. If I back down now, it’ll send the wrong message.”Kate sighed, her eyes filled with a mix of fear and determination. “Just be careful. I can’t bear the thought of losing you.”Deimon reached out, cupping her face in his hands. “I promise, I’ll be careful. And I’ll win.”Killian clapped a hand on D
As the days passed, Anna continued her investigation into the Crescent Order. She occasionally updated Deimon and the others on her progress, though the information was still limited. One evening, she came to them with a particularly intriguing lead.“I’ve spoken with a few contacts,” Anna said, her eyes sparkling with excitement. “There’s a rumor that the artifact they’re after is an ancient relic known as the Luna’s Tear. It’s said to grant immense power to whoever possesses it.”Killian frowned. “What kind of power?”Anna shrugged. “The legends are vague, but it’s believed to enhance the abilities of its holder, making them nearly invincible. If the Crescent Order gets their hands on it, they could dominate all the werewolf packs.”Kate looked at Deimon, her face set with determination. “We can’t let that happen.”“We won’t,” Deimon said firmly. “But we need more information. Keep digging, Anna. We need to know exactly what we’re dealing with.”Anna nodded, her determination clear.
The sun was setting, casting a fiery glow across the horizon. Deimon stood on the balcony of his apartment, staring out at the sprawling grounds of Umbra Academy. It was a place of power and prestige, but also one of danger and deceit. Recent events had only reinforced that truth.Inside, Kate was probably unpacking the last of her things. Since she had moved in with Deimon and Killian, the place had felt different—warmer, more alive. Despite her being wolfless, there was something about her that drew him in. His wolf, Onyx, was particularly intrigued by her. Restless now, Onyx paced in the back of Deimon’s mind, urging him to claim and protect her.Deimon turned his thoughts to the task at hand. Anna had asked to speak with him urgently, hinting she had information about Kate’s tormentors. He didn’t trust Anna completely, but she had proven herself a valuable ally. Her intelligence network within the Academy was unparalleled.A knock on the door brought him back to the present. Turni
The rooster's crow pierced the pre-dawn darkness, a harsh alarm clock that jolted Deimon awake. He sat up abruptly, the events of the previous night crashing down on him like a tidal wave. Shame burned in his gut, the memory of the Earthstalker's lifeless eyes a constant reminder of his savagery.But amidst the self-loathing, a spark of hope flickered. Kate's gentle touch, her unwavering trust – they were a lifeline thrown to him in the storm. He had a lot to make up for, but for the first time, he felt a clear path forward.He needed to see Anna. He needed answers, not just about Kate's tormentor, but about the darkness that had consumed him during the competition. Throwing on his clothes, he raced out of the hut, the cool morning air a welcome slap against his feverish cheeks.As he sprinted towards the training grounds, a memory surfaced, sharp and unexpected. It was Anna, her voice a low murmur in his ear, just before the start of the competition. "Win, Deimon," she'd whispered,
