Fiona’s POV

“Fiona?”

“Yes?”

“Are you okay?”

I stared at the mug of scalding sweet coffee next to me, dazed. I was dazed. What was he doing here? He had no business in the kitchen. Unease slithered deep in my guts like rattle snakes. The sweet coffee I sipped earlier tasted like bile. I could feel the sleep deprivation taking over. That’s the only thing that could explain why Jin was in the kitchen at the break of fucking dawn, preparing breakfast nonetheless! He made me a cup of coffee for goodness sakes.

Suddenly, I felt ill. The strong urge to vomit crawled up my throat, threatening to explode from my mouth like a missile. I imagined emptying the measly contents of my stomach over the cup of coffee and the ingredients for the Luna’s breakfast and didn’t think neither of them would appreciate the mess. I imagined Jin forcing my face down, forcing me to clean up the putrid mess I made with my tongue, or something equally vile and disgusting—and shuddered in repulsion.

    Fiona’s POV“ No! It’s not like that.” I cried, shaking my head frantically in denial.” When I came down this morning, Jin was already—” “ Shut up you manipulative whore!” The Luna yelled, hatred and rage brimming in her eyes. “Silence! Another word from your lying tongue and I’ll rip out your mouth.”“Watch your tongue, mother!” Jin warned stonily, anger sipping from his tensed frame in waves. But his mother ignored him. “You think you can easily weasel your way into becoming a Luna. You may have my son fooled with your innocent act, but not me. I see you for the vile creature you are. The only thing your disgusting identity is worth being is that of a nanny.” She snapped. Tears filled my eyes at her cruel words and quickly blinked them away. But the more I blinked, the more they flowed. I tried and failed to connect the woman who saved me on the day of my parent’s death to the woman glaring at me with open hate. I wanted to ask her what I did deserve her hate. Why not matter what

    Fiona’s POV“I don’t want to go to school with you.”The sounds of cutlery against the ceramic plates seized abruptly. The silence heavy with uncertainty but I refused to back down. “Excuse me?” Jin asked, his tone mild. “I don’t want to go to school with you.” I repeated firmly, meeting his gaze squarely. His intense stare almost made me squirm but I held my ground. The mere thought of being in the same space as Jin made me ill with panic. Different scenarios played in my head at the thought of us riding together to school, or the rumors that with circulate at the thought of me with Jin. The disaster with Helena and her group at last night’s party was still fresh. And there was no way I’ll be caught with alone with Jin. The bullying would be ten times worse. Not to mention now that I have a literal target on my back. Helena and her minions want my blood. “Why?” Jin questioned, setting down his spoon before leveling me a cool stare. “I just don’t want to.” I replied with equal ca

    Fiona’s POVWith Jin’s threat hanging between us like an oppressive fog, I remained silent, zoning out Jin’s presence, zoning out the fear and anxiety crippling me, and stared outside to the scenery zooming past us. I was tired and the urge to speak wasn’t there. My mind revisited the scene in the kitchen and the party last night, replaying everything until it merged into a dizzying blur that left me reeling. Or maybe it was just my exhaustion talking. I thought about getting a quick shut-eye then remembered who I was in the car with and thought better of it. There was no telling what was going through that bleak mind of his and I wanted nothing more than to get to school in one piece, both physically and mentally. But the ambience and silence of the car was so soothing and comforting that I let my drooping eyelids slide close.I wish my life was like this, silent and peaceful. Just drifting away from everything until I was —The car was thrown into brakes unexpectedly and I almost c

    Fiona’s POVJin arched a confused brow. “What does it look like I’m doing? I’m driving to the parking lot.”“Why didn’t you park in the other one?” I asked, the bouncing of my leg picked up speed. “I want to park here?”Why? So they can all glare at me? I was already hated enough before, I didn’t need to add more to it. I imagined what would happen if people saw me and Jin stepping out of the car together—or God forbid if Helena or one of her minions saw me. “Stop me here. Fucking stop or I swear I’ll jump out of this car, consequences be damned!”“Don’t be stupid.” Jin chided, eyeing me warily.“Wanna bet?” I asked, hooking a finger over the door leveler, a frantic light entering my eyes. The funniest thing was, I was actually prepared to do it. I’d rather plummet to my death than face the thousand eyes waiting for me the moment I stepped out. I’ve lived my life with my head down and I wasn’t going to change it just because some dickhead had an epiphany on how to become a good perso

    Fiona’s POVI kept thinking about that walk-in I had with Jin and no matter how much I tried, I couldn’t get his words out of my head. The fact that he had the nerve to act all possessive had me scoffing at the absurdity of it all. Not to mention the underlying threat in his voice which left room from little doubt that he’d carry it out. If what the four of them were saying was the truth, then how was I to avoid the other three? I could try to hold off Soren and Kai, but Lyn? There was no way. Lyn was unhinged. A monster who acted on his dark impulses with little to no regret. This was something that I had experienced first hand. Had Kai and Jin not stopped him, he would have had his way with me regardless and there will be no consequences on his part.He was an alpha, and I was an omega. A no one and the scorn of the pack.I didn’t notice the numerous stares leveled at me from all corners until it was too late. The whispers and the snickers and the snide comments. I realized with inc

    Fiona’s POV“What is going on here?”My heart dropped to my stomach at the sound of Jin’s voice, dark and angry, and I instantly froze in fear and panic. Oh, God. Please no… I could feel his angry gaze stabbing into my back without looking at him. Is didn’t need to. My crippling anxiety and fear had me rooted on the spot. This has been another level of shit show that I was hoping to avoid. Everything within me screamed at me to run. To abandon everything. But it didn’t matter how much or long I ran, I’ll be caught. This was my dreaded fate.A large hand clamped over my right shoulder and forcefully maneuvered me to stare into Jin’s eyes lit with wild possessive anger. I inwardly cursed myself for not running away from the auditorium fast enough and I cursed Lyn and Jin for a truly shitty morning. I was really looking forward to an uneventful day.“I asked you a question and I deserve an answer.” Jin gritted out. What did he want to hear? Our heated argument made me late for the fir

    Fiona’s POVI knew it was over the moment Lyn punched Jin. It was inevitable. Like a ticking time bomb waiting to explode. Then it started—raw, ugly, and vicious. Lyn’s knuckles collided with Jin’s jaw, the crack of impact sending a shiver through the air. Jin retaliated immediately, slamming his elbow into Lyn’s ribs, his movements sharp and feral. A guttural roar erupted from Lyn as he tackled Jin, and the two hit the floor in a violent tangle of limbs. The sound of fists striking flesh was sickening, like dull meat being slapped against stone. Blood spattered onto the polished wooden stage as one of them—Lyn, I think—landed a solid punch that split Jin’s lip wide open.The auditorium erupted into chaos. Chairs screeched against the floor as people scrambled to move away from the escalating brawl. Some shouted, their voices indistinct in the cacophony, while others fumbled with their phones, their glowing screens capturing every savage second. The once-cozy glow of stage lights now

    Fiona’s POVWhen Soren was eight years old, he had his personal servant mauled to death by a bear. He had them coat her with honey and at his orders they released the wild bear and he watched as she was torn apart…all because she had not served him his breakfast early. This had been dismissed as a mere rumor but I had a source who proved otherwise. Soren Drakemere, the second son of the formidable Drakemere lineage, carried himself with an air of quiet solemnity that set him apart from his peers. Born into a family renowned for their strategic cunning and unshakable loyalty to the Blackthorn Pack, Soren bore the weight of an unusual legacy. His father, Alaric Drakemere, was a figure of legend—both revered and feared—while his older brother, Caelian, was the golden heir, the warrior who could command a room with a single glance. Soren, on the other hand, was an enigma, a man whose presence was felt rather than heard.Though destined to inherit leadership of the Blackthorn Pack, Soren

    Fiona’s POVThe moment Lyn arrived, the air seemed to shift, turning sharp and heavy with his presence. His footsteps echoed against the tiled floor, each step firm and deliberate. My heart pounded in my chest as I looked up at him. His usually charming,, playful face was now a mask of cold fury. His pale complexion had drained further, but his eyes—those dark, piercing eyes—burned with something terrifying.He took in the mess around us—the broken chair, the scattered books, my tearful, broken expression and his face darkened further. His lips curled downward, and his voice, low and sharp like a blade slicing through ice, sent a shiver down my spine.“Who,” he bit out, his words slow and deliberate, “gave you the courage to cause trouble right under my nose?”The room fell into a suffocating silence. The group of girls, who just moments ago had been so full of confidence, now shrank back. Even their ringleader, the one who had mouthed off tome first, looked pale. But she still stra

    Fiona’s POVThe news about the four Alphas fierce competition for me intensified, spreading like wild fire around the entire school. And with the popularity and rumors came new enemies I knew nothing about. I haven’t seen Helena much ever since I resumed school, and rumors of she and Jin’s untimely break up was gossiped about until went stale. I heard she transferred departments so that was why I rarely saw her. Unfortunately, her suddenly transferring majors left her old clique without a leader. Which was a relief considering the fact that I didn’t have to any other encounters with her. That didn’t mean the trouble stopped. I've been feeling uneasy all morning and had somehow gotten used to stares and whispers. But the moment I stepped into the corridor leading to the library, I felt it—the shift in the air, the weight of unwelcome stares pressing down on me. I wasn’t alone.I barely had time to register the approaching footsteps before a group of girls blocked my path. At the cen

    Fiona’s POVJin’s confession filled my brain all day, distracting me through lectures, while having lunch with Rowan. I still hadn’t given him an answer. And then there was, Kai. His persistence was something to be admired, if not entirely irritating. I can’t mention how many instances I have gone out of my comfort zone to avoid him. “Fiona, he’s here again,” Rowan teased spearing a forkful of salad onto her mouth, wagging her brows impishly.“Don’t even start,” I muttered, rubbing my temples.“I’m being serious.” she said, watching something behind me with keen, perpetually mischievous eyes. “And he’s heading this way.”“Oh my fucking goodness.” I sighed, the throbbing in my eyes intensified. “I’m going to the bathroom.”Rowan looked thoughtful. “You could. Or you could sit there and listen to what he wants to say.” “I already what he wants to say.” I muttered. “He’s like a fucking bulldozer at this point.” Rowan chuckled. “I think you’re the only thing on his wants to bulldoze.”

    Fiona’s POVI could feel the weight of the moment pressing down on me as my words hung in the air. The once lively crowd had gone eerily silent, the tension thick enough to cut with a knife.My gaze swept across everyone present, taking in the reactions of the Kai family elders. They exchanged glances, their expressions a mixture of surprise and confusion, as if they couldn’t quite believe what they had just heard.And then, there was Kai. The disappointment in his eyes deepened with every passing second, the flicker of hope he had clung to now dimming into something heavier—something dangerously close to resentment. I felt him grow cold beside me. His jaw tightened, his lips pressed into a thin line, but he said nothing. He didn’t have to. The disappointment radiated off him like a slow-burning fire, scorching in its quiet intensity.Eugene cleared his throat quietly, searching for what words to use. “A-are you certain we can’t change your mind?” he asked weakly.

    Fiona’s POV“Hey, Rowan.”“Fiona? Where are you? I’ve been trying to contact you for three days now! How are you? Are you okay? Please tell me you are?” Rowan’s panicking voice blasted the confines of the car.I grinned at her terrified voice then affected a sober voice, “What if I tell you I’m not okay, and that I’m on my way to the ER to treat my broken bones.”“What!?” Rowan screeched. “Fuck, what hospital is it? Fiona speak the fuck up—” I cackled at her fear. “I’m fine, Rowan. Honest.”“I’m glad my concern is amusing to you.” Rowan hissed. I immediately sobered up. “You know I didn’t mean that. I was joking, darling. I promise I’ll tell you everything when I get back, okay?”“Fine. God knows you owe me one.” Rowan said smartly. “Are you on your way home?”.I glanced at the familiar surroundings zooming past mea before replying, “Uh, no. I’ve got drop by Jin’s house first but I’ll see you later.”“Okay. Are you sure you’re alright?” Rowan probed once more.“Yes, Rowan. I am.” I

    Fiona’s POVPanic clawed at me. This was all too much pressure. I watched as Jin rose slowly to his feet, eyeing the writhing shadow monsters skeptically."Okay. Think. There must be something you've missed, Fiona. Think!" I muttered to myself, pressing my eyes closed in concentration. The ancient texts in that old grimoire, the whispered instructions and chants were failing us. My mind raced, a whirlwind of fragmented knowledge, desperate for a solution. Kai was down, Soren and Jin was hurt, and the shadow beasts were relentless. We were running out of time."Think, Fiona, think!" I screamed internally. I scanned my memory, flipping through the pages of countless arcane tomes. Then, a flicker. A forgotten passage. A detail I’d dismissed as insignificant. It was a footnote, almost an afterthought, about alternative activation methods. It was vague, cryptic, but… it resonated. A spark of hope ignited in the darkness of my despair.Immediately, I snapped urgent eyes to the central

    Fiona’s POVMy heart hammered against my ribs, a frantic drumbeat against the encroaching darkness. No sooner had we begun unloading than I felt them – the pursuers. Their presence was a tangible thing, a cold dread that prickled my skin."The crystals go there," I pointed to a patch of worn earth, where the markings I had made were still visible under my flashlight. "Soren, connect that line to the north node.""Got it, Fiona," growled Soren, his massive form already hefting a heavy stone."Every one get into the circle and do not leave no matter what until I say so." I announced. I focused, pushing aside the fear that threatened to overwhelm me. The magic circle was intricate, a delicate web of power that needed precise placement and intention. My fingers flew across the surfaces of the stones, tracing the ancient symbols and items we had gathered then began chanting the forgotten words. The air shimmered, a faint blue glow beginning to emanate from the circle’s center."They're a

    Fiona’s POVThe cavern shimmered with an eerie blue light, the jagged ice crystals reflecting a cold glow that pulsed like a living thing. But we weren’t alone.A sharp gust of wind howled through the chamber, carrying with it a flurry of frost. Then I saw them—ice elemental elves, their lithe bodies shimmering like frost-covered glass. Their piercing, glowing eyes locked onto us, and in an instant, they attacked.“Move!” I shouted, diving behind a frozen stalagmite as razor-sharp ice thorns shot toward us in a deadly barrage.The Alphas scattered, their movements swift and precise. Jin, ever the protector, positioned himself in front of me, sword raised. A shard of ice whizzed past my ear, slicing a few strands of my hair before embedding itself into the ground. I clenched my fists, summoning my energy, but the elves weren’t giving us a moment to breathe.“Go for the leader!” Lyn growled, rolling under a streak of frost magic that turned the stone floor to ice.The elves moved in un

    Fiona’s POVThe first clue had led us to the deep swamp behind the old site. It was said that a rare plant, Dark Light Algae, grew here—an essential material for activating the magic array. But as I stood at the swamp’s edge, inhaling the thick, musty air, I couldn’t help but wonder if the legends had conveniently left out the part where we’d have to risk our lives to retrieve it.A dense, eerie fog coiled around twisted trees, their gnarled roots jutting out of the soggy ground like skeletal fingers grasping at the air. Every few steps, the murky water gurgled as if something unseen was shifting beneath the surface. The air was thick, humid, and heavy with the scent of rot and stagnant water.“Ugh, this place reeks,” I muttered, wrinkling my nose as my boots sank into the soft, treacherous earth. Each step was a gamble—too much pressure, and the ground threatened to swallow me whole.“Watch your footing,” Kai warned, his voice strained with concentration as he tested the ground ahe
