A violent roar echoes across the floor as a massive grey wolf lunges directly at its opponent.
I sit in the middle row of the arena stands, tightly gripping the stone bench beneath me as the dust rises into the air.
Below us, the training grounds is a chaotic blur of flying fur and snapping jaws. A team of four black and grey wolves is fighting aggressively against a rival group of massive, dark brown wolves. The heavy scent of dirt fills the entire stadium, heavy enough to make my throat itch.
I wate

he dark brown wolves snaps its jaws closed, missing the grey wolf’s neck by a fraction of an inch. Almost instantly, a low rumble through the crowd of watching students as the grey wolf utilizes the miss, spinning its entire body to slam its big shoulder

atch the combat, but my mind is somewhere else.
I’ve been thinking about the past two days. Ever since the moment I woke up in that hospital room with Kai’s mark freshly burned into
my soul, I have felt completely different. A strange, uncomfortable tightness has been squeezing my chest on edge. It is like a persistent, bad feeling that lingers constantly in the back of my head, a quiet warning whisper that tells me something is coming. No matter how many times I close my eyes and try to shake it off, it remains active, casting a shadow over every single thought.
“Lyra, seriously, you need to stop staring into space, Princess Kara mutters from my left side, reaching out to squeeze my arm. Beside her, Amara and Isolde nod in agreement, their faces full of concern. “You’re going to give yourself another headache. Stop worrying about
everything.
I offer them a weak smile, but I can’t shake off the feeling.
Maybe this persistent dread is because Nick has stopped talking to me ever since the moment he walked away from my hospital bed. A bitter taste fills my mouth as I remember his furious expression. I’ve tried to call his phone repeatedly over the last forty-eight hours, but the call just rings out until the voicemail takes over every single time. He completely refuses to answer me.
Before the whole thing happened, he had promised me that the moment I was better, we would start private training sessions. He was supposed to teach me how to channel my ancient Phoenix power to work in perfect harmony with my fox spirit, But Nick is completely ghosting me right now, leaving me entirely in the dark.
And then there’s the case of Prince Roman. A sigh escapes my lips as I look toward the empty royal seats across the stadium. He has been missing ever since the moment I opened my eyes. I don’t know how he is, where he went, or if his broken limbs have even begun to heal properly. The fear of what happened to him keeps nagging at me. I’m very worried about him because despite all the distance and the

Then another huge problem weighing down on my mind is the fact that I still don’t remember a single thing about the night I was kidnapped. It is so incredibly frustrating. A black void sits where those specific memories should be. I really thought that the moment my memories of Kai broke through the block, the memories of my kidnapping would naturally follow. But it didn’t. There is absolutely
nothing there.
Every single time I try to force my brain down that dark path, I always end up with a terrible migraine and Wyndra lets out a pitiful, painful whine inside my head whenever I push too hard as her spirit fights against the strain. The pain of it forces me to stop. I have
stopped trying to force the memory open.
The academy doctor told me yesterday not to panic, assuring me that the trauma will naturally unlock and I will definitely remember everything soon. I also feel like just being physically close to Kai might help juggle the memory loose, but unfortunately I’ve not been
