Chapter 69
Silas’s POV
But the laughter stopped pretty fast.
Because everyone saw where the hoodie was.
Aria was holding it. Casually draped over her shoulder like she’d been holding it the whole time.
“How did she-
“When did she grab it?”
“I didn’t even see her move!”
My claws started shaking. “You… when did you…”
Aria looked at me with those cold, dark eyes. “You mean this ability?”
She held up her other hand.
My iPhone appeared in her palm.
Then my car keys.
Then my wallet.
65%
Then-oh God-my backup pants from Kai’s back seat.
One by one, objects just materialized in her hands like magic. No movement. No reaching. They just appeared.
The parking lot went dead silent.
I tried to make my spatial power work, tried to yank the hoodie back. I focused every ounce of strength I had, reaching out with my ability-
Nothing.
The hoodie didn’t even twitch.
It was like trying to steal candy from a UFC fighter. My power just… slid of hers.
“How…” My voice cracked. “How are you doing this? My wallet was in the hoodie pocket. The pants were in his car-
“You’re making this harder than it needs to be,” Aria said, her voice flat and bored.
My claws were shaking so bad now that they started to retract. The fur pulled back into my skin, and my fingers shortened back to normal. I couldn’t hold the partial shift anymore.
My hands were human again.

Chapter 69 *
Someone in the crowd whispered: “Dude…”
“What?”
“She’s definitely awakened.”
‘You’re crazy. She’s fifteen, and she’s from an omega family-*
“Then how do you explain what she just did? That was spatial manipulation, and way stronger than his.”
“But she’s never shifted before-*
“Maybe she’s been hiding it.”
An omega family kid awakening? With spatial abilities? That doesn’t make sense-*
“Look at Silas’s face. He got completely destroyed.*
“And she didn’t even shift. She’s using spatial manipulation in human form-*
Kai leaned over and whispered to me: “Bro… that’s not normal spatial manipulation.”
I couldn’t speak. My throat was too tight.
Aria tossed the hoodie back to me. It flew through the air in a perfect arc, anding right in my hands. Then the keys, wallet, phone, and pants-
all of them landing exactly where I could catch them.
Not a single item dropped.
“Spatial manipulation isn’t for showing off,” she said. Her voice was calm. Almost bored. Like she was talking to a little kid who didn’t know any better. “Go home. Practice more. Don’t embarrass yourself in front of me again.”
She turned around and walked toward her car with Mia.
Just like that.
No dramatic exit. No gloating. She just left.
I stood there in my Captain America boxers, holding my clothes, watching her taillights disappear.
The crowd was staring at me.
Nobody was laughing anymore.
I got dressed in silence. My hands were still shaking as I pulled on the pants and hoodie.
Kai didn’t say anything. We just walked to his car and got in.
The engine started, but Kai didn’t pull out of the parking spot. He just sat there, staring at the steering wheel.

“You okay?” I finally asked.
“Yeah Just thinking”
Silence.
Then Kai said: “You think. I should try again?”
Thy what?”
Asking Aria out. Like, actually apologizing for the love letter thing, and then maybe-
“Kai.” I cut him off. “Wake up.”
“What?”
I looked at him. My best friend since kindergarten. Future Alpha of the Meadow Pack
“You’re not good enough for her.”
The car went ice cold.
Kai’s hands tightened on the steering wheel. His knuckles went white.
“What did you just say? His voice was low. Dangerous.
1m the future Alpha. How am I not-
“Wait, that came out wrong! I held up my hands. “I didn’t mean it like that”
Kais jaw was clenched so hard I could hear his teeth grinding.
“I mean-” I took a breath. “I can’t get her either.”
“What?”
“Nobody can get her, Kai. That’s what I’m saying.”
He stared at me.
I slumped back in my seat, exhausted. “Dude, I’ve been training with Wesley for two weeks. Two weeks of nothing but spatial manipulation
practice.”
“Okay?”
