“Yes. That’s it.” I watched Amanda finally block the staff the right way, my voice carrying a little praise.

She looked up and smiled at me, her eyes sparkling as if they caught a bit of starlight-her first real smile around me. Even with her awkward, slightly uneven features, there was this tiny, undeniable spark of life in her.

For a moment, my heart skipped a beat.

The wind from the skylight swept through the training hall, carrying a faint smell from her skin, mixing with the warm sunset, and settling deep in my chest.

That warmth wrapped around my heart like quiet vines, curling tighter and tighter.

And I knew clearly that I was falling for Amanda.

But the next second, reality hit me hard-wolf-pack rules, family duty, and Grandpa’s old prophecy about the “destined mate” slammed over me like ice water.

Our kind always followed the Moon Goddess’s path. A destined mate was fate. And as Eclipse Pack’s heir, that duty pressed heavier on me than most.

She wasn’t my destined mate. There was never a future between us.

I yanked my hand back, losing that warm touch instantly. My breath went deep and cold on purpose.

I looked away from her eyes, refusing to get lost in that sparkle. My voice sharpened. “That’s enough. We’re done for today.”

As I turned, I felt her confused gaze on my back, but I couldn’t look.

If I did, that spark I’d just buried would explode.

This couldn’t go on.

I kept telling myself that with each heavy step while fighting the vines inside me.

But somewhere in my chest, it still hurt-sharp and bruised, as if something hard was stuck there, making even breathing sting.

Amanda’s POV:

Samson’s hand disappeared so suddenly, his warm touch gone, along with all the patience he’d just shown

I froze, staff still in my hand, staring at his back as he walked away, heat flaring inside me for no reason I could explain.

One minute, he was fine, and the next, he flipped? What did I do this time?

“Hey, what’s going on?” I hurried after him, my voice sharp and hurt. “You just quit like that? I haven’t even mastered it yet!”

He didn’t look back or slow down. His voice was cold as ice. “We’ll practice tomorrow.”

That attitude was so different from the patient way he’d just corrected me.

I bit my lip and tossed the staff aside, temper flaring. Fine. No more practice. Not like I’d care!

The whole way back, neither of us spoke.

The air in the car felt heavy, pressing down on my chest. Even the hum of the engine sounded sharp and annoying.

I leaned against the window, refusing to look at him, cursing him in my head a hundred ways. That two- faced, moody jerk!

When we finally pulled up to the castle gates, the first thing I saw was Josh, slouched against the doorway as if he had nothing better to do, lazily spinning a basketball.

The moment he saw us climbing out-me following Samson silently, the chill between us thick-he smirked and walked over, his face full of mockery.

“Well, well, what happened here? Training falling apart already? Told you, Amanda, you’re way too dumb to learn. Just wait-you’ll fail so badly you won’t even make it to the arena. And you wanted me to call you ‘Boss’? How embarrassing.”

His words were like a lit match. My anger flared all over again.

I stopped, spun on my heel, and glared at him so icily that it even startled me. “Josh, you’d better start praying…”

I let it hang there, watching his grin falter, stiffen, then freeze. Only then did I finish, slow and deliberate.
