I stare at my reflection in the mirror, feeling both shy and confident at the same time. Tonight, I feel very beautiful and elegant. The wolf event is happening in a few minutes. I’m nervous as hell because this is the first event I’m attending at Krypton Academy.
At first, I didn’t have anything proper to wear since Amara and Isolde told me that everyone had to dress elegantly, Kara was already planning to give me one of dresses when I received a present from guess who? The grumpy town Prince himself.
I stare at the red, floor length shimmery gown that Kai sent me earlier. The fabric is so soft and unique in a way that makes my slim but curvy figure stand out. The front is a V-neck that shows a part of my cleavage and comes down to reveal the little skin of my stomach. Then it dips around my waist and is perfectly pleated around my hips, giving me a classy and simple vibe. Then my silver hair is styled to the side and I made sure to add a bit of eye makeup and blush to my cheeks. My lips are moist with lip gloss. And my shoes, well let’s just say Kara’s shoes are perfect. Not too high, not too low.
I suck in a deep breath, trying to calm my nerves and excitement as I stare at myself, but it’s practically impossible. The truth is I’m very scared to see Kai Tonight after he sent me a very beautiful dress with a note that said ‘Consider it a get well soon gift. From K.M’
I stare at my blue eyes in the mirror and remember the way they felt yesterday. They weren’t just blue, they were glowing with a white light that felt like pure electricity. Even though what I did scared me shitless, it was still so satisfying to see the look on Rina’s face. For the first time, she wasn’t the predator. she was the one who looked scared and shocked after I hit her with that burst of energy. She had rushed to her feet and ran out without another word, leaving me alone in the hospital room to wonder how the hell I did that.
For like a few minutes, my eyes continued to glow. I’m grateful my friends or Kai didn’t come back during that time because what would I have told them? I can’t tell them that I have some kind of weird ability.
I’ve tried reaching out to Wyndra to get an explanation since yesterday, but she’s been completely silent. Ever since Salva stabbed me with that Hawthorn vine, her presence in my mind has been absent. It’s like the poison attacked her spirit even more than it attacked my body. I really hope she’s fine and that she’ll talk to me again very soon. I feel lonely without her voice in my head all the time. She’s like an anchor for me. Something that keeps me grounded.
While she’s gone, I’ve decided that I’m going to spend as much time as possible in the Academy library. I need to find out everything I can about this “Phoenix” thing the voice in my dream mentioned. I need to know what the hell I am and why my body is reacting this way.
I’m pulled out of my thoughts by a soft knock on the door.
“Come in,” I say, smoothing down the red fabric of my gown.
Kara peeps her head in, her eyes widening the moment she spots me. She walks in and lets out a low whistle with a huge smile on her face. “Wow, Lyra Diamond. You look like a vengeful Goddess. If my brother wasn’t already obsessed with you, he definitely will be pow.”
1 laugh, feeling my cheeks heat up at her comment. Kara needs to stop teasing me about her annoying brother. I take a moment to look at her.
“You look incredible, Kara. Seriously.”
She really does. She’s wearing a black mini dress that shows off her long, toned legs, and her dark hair is pinned up in an elegant, sophisticated bun. She looks every bit the Royal she is, but with that approachable look she always has.
She walks around me, inspecting the fitness of the red dress on me. “I see the gift from my brother arrived,” she teases me, nudging my shoulder with her own. I can’t believe he actually picked this out. He has surprisingly good taste for a guy who usually only cares about combat and being anger.”
I blush even deeper, looking away from her reflection in the mirror. Come on Kara, i think he’s just being nice because I was hurt. It’s a get well soon gift,

like the note said.”
Kara snorts, crossing her arms. “Nah. My brother is never nice just for the sake of it, Lyra, and you know it. He didn’t send a dress to any of the other female students who got injured in training This is different.
I can’t help but feel a burst of nerves in my stomach at her words. Is it really different? I can’t help but wonder why Prince Kai attentive. A few weeks ago, he was mean, cold, and treated me like I was beneath the dirt on his boots. Now, there’s a stark difference in how he acts. suddenly being so…
He’s protective, he’s gentle when we’re alone, and the fact that he actually listened to me and didn’t beat Roman into a pulp again shows he’s changing. Or at least, he’s acknowledging me and dismissing me.
My heart starts to beat fast in my chest as I think about the event tonight. Is there really something growing between us, or am I just imagining things because I want them to be true? I try to tell myself it’s just the bond of a master and slave, but my body knows better.
I remember the way his hands felt on me in the infirmary and the way he looked at me before he left. And how it feels whenever he touches me or comes close to me. And the kiss… I haven’t been able to stop thinking about how he kissed me so possessively and passionately.
Am I really attracted to someone who came into my life to own and bully me? Oh Goddess.
I wonder if he’ll even talk to me tonight in front of everyone. Or worse, I wonder if he’ll ask me to dance. The thought makes my hands shake slightly. I’m a rejected, wolfless slave in a borrowed pair of shoes and a gifted dress. I shouldn’t be hoping for a dance with the future King of Lycanthropy, but as I take one last look at myself, I can’t help but hope he notices me.
