Poisoned Intentions

Emilia's POV

The afternoon sun beat down on the outdoor tennis courts as Coach Harrison blew his whistle.

"Ten laps around the track!" he barked. "After that, you'll begin endurance drills with your assigned partners."

A chorus of groans rose from the team, but no one dared complain.

I tightened my ponytail before beginning my run.

Beside me, Wesley matched my pace effortlessly. His breathing remained steady while mine grew heavier with each lap.

    Emilia's POVThe academy had never been quieter.Even after the Shadow Beasts disappeared, fear lingered in every corner of Willowbrook. Broken windows, scorched stone walls, and pools of black blood stood as stark reminders that the academy was no longer the sanctuary everyone had once believed it to be.Wesley carried me through the deserted corridor, refusing to let me walk despite my protests."I can manage," I murmured."You collapsed less than five minutes ago.""I'm feeling better."He glanced down at me, one dark eyebrow raised."You've said that three times today."I sighed."And you've ignored me three times."A faint smile touched the corner of his lips."I intend to keep doing that."I rolled my eyes, though I couldn't suppress my own smile.His heartbeat was steady beneath my cheek, reassuring in a way I couldn't explain.For the first time since arriving at Willowbrook, I did not feel alone.The infirmary doors opened as the school nurse hurried toward us."Oh, Goddess..

    Emilia's POVEverything happened in an instant.The spear of black energy tore through the underground shelter, aimed directly at my heart.I could not move.Fear held me in place as the hooded figure’s cold laughter echoed through the chamber.“So this is the child of prophecy,” the stranger mocked. “How disappointing.”“EMILIA!”Wesley’s roar shook the shelter.Without hesitation, he lunged in front of me, his partially shifted body becoming my shield.BOOM!The spear struck his chest with devastating force.A violent explosion ripped through the chamber, sending students crashing against the stone walls. Dust and shattered rock rained from the ceiling as screams erupted in every direction.“Wesley!” I cried.His body skidded across the floor before slamming into one of the ancient pillars. Blood trickled from the corner of his lips as dark magic spread across his chest like poisonous vines.“No... no, please...”I ran to him and dropped to my knees beside him.His breathing was sha

    Emilia's POVThe academy descended into chaos.Students poured into the hallways, their panicked cries echoing through every corridor. Teachers shouted orders, desperately trying to restore order, but fear spread faster than any attempt to contain it.I stood frozen as another explosion shook the eastern wing.Dust drifted from the ceiling."What is happening?" I whispered.Wesley's gaze remained fixed on the burning tower."The academy barrier has been breached. That should be impossible."Liam tightened his grip on the ancient book."It wasn't broken from the outside."Both Wesley and I turned to him."What do you mean?" I asked.Liam had gone pale."The barrier spell can only be destroyed if someone inside Willowbrook weakens its magical core."The realization struck us all at once."There is a traitor," Wesley growled.Another deafening blast echoed from outside.The windows shattered simultaneously.Students screamed as shards of glass scattered across the floor.A flock of black

    Emilia's POVSleep would not come.No matter how tightly I shut my eyes, my thoughts kept returning to everything that had happened over the past few days.Darian's rejection.The poison.Wesley's protection.And the unfamiliar warmth that settled in my chest whenever he was near.I turned onto my side with a quiet sigh."You're thinking about him again," my wolf teased."I'm not.""Liar."I pressed my face into my pillow."He doesn't even know I'm his mate.""Not yet."Before I could respond, a piercing scream echoed through the girls' dormitory.I sat up at once.A second scream followed.Students spilled into the hallway in a panic."What happened?""Someone's been attacked!"I quickly pulled on my jacket and hurried outside, ignoring the dull ache in my ankle.The corridor was crowded with frightened students.A first-year witch lay unconscious near the staircase.Dark purple veins spread across her neck like twisted vines.Teachers gathered around her while the school healer exam

    Emilia's POVThe silence in the infirmary had become unbearable.Poison.The word repeated relentlessly in my mind.Someone had tried to hurt me.My fingers instinctively tightened around the edge of the bed as I stared at the bottle Liam had placed on the table."There must be some mistake," I whispered.Liam shook his head."I examined it with a detection spell. There is no mistake."The room fell silent once more.Wesley's jaw tightened, and the air around him seemed to grow colder."Whoever did this wasn't trying to make you sick," he said quietly."They wanted you out of the championship."I swallowed hard."But... why me?"His silver eyes met mine."Because you're becoming a threat."I frowned."A threat?""You exceeded expectations the moment you stepped onto that court. Now you're my partner, and that has made you a target."I looked down at my bandaged ankle.Everything had happened so quickly.Only a week ago, I had dreamed of beginning a new life at Willowbrook.Instead, I

For Darian. For my mother. For everyone except myself.Somehow, Wesley made protecting me sound... natural.Across the field, Chloe watched us with narrowed eyes.
