Clara stands right in front of me, chest puffing with anger. She glares at me, looking exactly like she wants. to physically lunge forward and fight me right here in the Box. Well, let her bring it on. I’m ready.
I may not have Wyndra’s voice in my head for now, I may not feel my fox’s power running through my veins, but I refuse to let that stop me. I will fucking defend myself against people like Clara. No more cowering. No more taking the beatings, the cruel pranks, and the miserable insults quietly. Those weak days are completely over for me. I square my shoulders, staring directly back into her eyes, silently daring Clara to
try her luck with me.
The other girl who walked in beside Clara quickly steps between us. She flashes a nervous smile, cutting the
thick tension in the box.
“Hi everyone!” she says quickly, waving her hand to break the silence. She introduces herself. “I’m Sansa, and I am from the Duskwood pack. I’m excited to have the test with you guys! Let’s all just try to pass this
exam together, okay?”
Clara completely ignores her. She takes another step forward, pointing a finger straight at my face. “You are going to regret being placed in the same group with me, Lyra,” she spits, voice trembling with hatred. “I will personally make sure you pay for getting my best friend Daisy expelled from this academy. You ruined her life, you selfish bitch!”
I don’t flinch. I step closer until we are practically nose to nose, standing my ground against the bully. “Daisy got herself expelled because she is a criminal and a liar, Clara,” I say, my voice steady and deadly calm. “Don’t blame me for her absolute stupidity.”
Clara’s face turns a furious shade of red. “How dare you speak about her like that?” she shrieks. She flies into a rage, raising her hand to strike me. “You’re nothing but a pathetic, wolfless slut for the Prince! You think you can talk down to me? I will destroy-”
Before she can even finish her sentence, my hand flies out like lightning. I slap her across the face with every ounce of strength I have.
Smack!

Chapter 261
The loud crack echoes inside the box.
Clara stumbles back, her eyes widening in absolute, utter shock. She clutches her red cheek, staring at me as
if she can’t believe what just happened. She is completely paralyzed with disbelief.
“You… you slapped me?” she whispers, voice rising into a furious screech. She lunges forward again, raising
her hand to slap me back.
But I’m faster than she is. Before her hand can connect with my face, I reach out and catch her wrist in a tight grip. I twist my body and push her forward with maximum force. Clara loses her balance completely
until she falls hard onto her backside on the ground.
The other girls, Aloe and Sansa look absolutely shocked by the sudden display of violence. Aloe quickly covers her mouth with her hand, while Sansa looks away. They both look like they’re desperately trying to hide their laughter as Clara sits on the floor looking incredibly embarrassed.
Even the shy boy in the corner is now completely watching the drama with astonishment.
I walk over to her and bend down slightly, looking directly into Clara’s eyes as she sits on the floor, still
frozen in shock.
“Do you want to try me again?” I ask her, my voice dropping into a dangerous whisper. “Go ahead. See what happens next.”
Clara stares up at me for a long moment. The fierce anger in her eyes quickly drains away, replaced by sudden fear. She looks away from me, biting her lip, and slowly shakes her head.
