Chapter 19

~Valerie’s POV~

After enduring an entire class of pointed stares and whispers, I had successfully avoided the Alpha Kings’ Heirs. Which was a miracle in itself.

Unfortunately, my moment of peace was short-lived because now it was time for sports. fгeewёbnoѵel_cσm

The academy had a strict physical education curriculum, designed to keep our wolves in top form. Today’s activity was a full-class team-based competition—a mix between Capture the Flag and Combat Training. It wasn’t just about speed or strength but also strategy.

I sighed as I entered the changing rooms and pulled on my sportswear—a fitted black tank top with the school emblem on the chest, paired with matching athletic shorts that stopped mid-thigh. The material clung to my body, accentuating my toned curves and long legs, evidence of years of combat training.

The moment I stepped out onto the field, a few whistles and murmurs filled the air. Some of the boys eyed me appreciatively, their smirks telling me exactly what was on their minds.

I clenched my jaw. Great. Just what I needed—more unwanted attention.

A sharp growl suddenly echoed through the field, silencing the murmurs instantly.

I didn’t need to look to know who it came from.

Dristan, Kai, and Axel sat on the stone bleachers at the edge of the field, watching like kings surveying their subjects.

The moment their growls rumbled through the field, every single guy quickly averted their eyes and returned to their warm-ups.

I bit the inside of my cheek, resisting the urge to glare at them.

Possessive bastards.

They had no claim over me, yet here they were, warning every male in the class not to even look at me.

Still, even after the others looked away, all four of them had their eyes glued to me like they had x-ray vision or something. I hated how exposed I suddenly felt under their intense stares.

Still, I lifted my chin and ignored them.

Our Sports Professor, Coach Stein, as he was often called, clapped his hands loudly. "Alright, listen up! We’re playing Havoc Ball! You all know the rules—two teams, one goal. For this match, Axel, Xade, Kai, Dristan, and Isla would sit out. You will be my referee, Isla."

Isla smiled and nodded.

"The ball must be taken from the center and brought to your team’s base. Anything goes. Use your skills, your wolves, and your instincts. The first team to three points wins. No killing each other."

A few students groaned at the last part, but I shook my head. I knew a few of them would be willing to fight me head-on, but if they were sensible, they’d better not.

"Huddle up!" Isla called, and the students split into their teams.

As my luck would have it, I was on the same team as Brielle and her cheer squad. I tensed. I already knew they’d try something.

Brielle gave me a fake smile as we gathered. "Try not to slow us down, Nightshade."

I smirked. "Try not to break a nail, princess. It just might bleed."

Her eye twitched.

Coach Stein blew the whistle, and the game started.

Bodies crashed into each other as everyone lunged toward the centre where the ball had been thrown. I moved swiftly, dodging a tackle before sprinting forward.
