All Chapters of The Wolfless Runaway Princess In An Alpha Academy : Chapter 51 - Chapter 59

CHAPTER FIFTY-ONEIVY’S POVThe walk back to the suite felt unreal. I barely remembered leaving the abandoned training grounds. My legs moved because they had to. I couldn't stop the terrifying loop in my head, my mind remained trapped in that dark corner, Maeve's rough hands ripping my hoodie, his mouth on my neck, the absolute certainty that I was seconds away from being completely defiled and torn apart in the dirt, and I truly believed nobody was going to save me… until Aiden showed up.Behind me, the two guards dragged Maeve’s body across the stone floor. His wrists were tied behind his back, ankles bound together. There was a long, smudged trail of dark red across the pathway from where his battered body scraped against the ground.As I stepped in, the interior of Suite 412 shut out the freezing early morning air, but it brought no warmth to me. My entire body was still a trembling, broken mess, the aftershocks of pure panic rattling my bones. Underneath the heavy black cardigan

CHAPTER FIFTY-THREEIVY’S POVThe echoes of the usual ceremonial bells were still vibrating through the walls of the private office when the plush, fluffy warmth of the couch was abruptly cut short.Aiden stood up, his posture instantly snapping back into the rigid, unyielding form of a warrior. The raw, primal vulnerability and intensity that had bled through our mind-bond just moments ago was entirely locked and trapped within him. Without casting a single glance down at my almost bare, bruised body, he strode over to a dark mahogany wardrobe in the corner of his office. He yanked it open, pulled out a thick, oversized black button-up shirt bearing his personal Alpha crest, and threw it onto my lap without saying a word. Then, he turned on his heel and walked out, the heavy oak door shutting with a sharp, loud bang making me flinch.I sat there, completely flabbergasted and confused. The turn of events was enough to make my head spin. One moment his mouth was driving me to the brin

CHAPTER FIFTY-FIVEIVY’S POVThe silver light didn't just illuminate the vault; it reached inside my chest and seized my very soul.The moment my bare palm left Aiden’s grip and brushed against the smooth, pulsing surface of the Lunar Catalyst, the world went completely dead silent. A violent, sub-zero freeze exploded outward from the crystalline orb, sending patterns of glowing silver frost crawling rapidly up the ancient stone walls.The next thing I realized was the shattering of my entire system from within. This raw, concentrated magic that Aiden had made me the subject of did no such thing like gently coaxing my inner beast awake, it launched a violent, trembling assault on the years of whatever blockage that might have happened and couldn't make the awakening possible years back. Spikes of electricity ran through my veins. The tight psychological bindings that I had always worn were violently ripped apart from the inside out. I believed I had a wolf now.My knees hit the damp f

CHAPTER FIFTY-EIGHT.IVY’S POVI stared at the firmly, locked steel door of the suite, my fist frozen in mid-air.The nerve of this man to slam the door against my face.One second he was pinning me to a weapon table, making me completely lose my breath and mind on the flat of his blade, and the next, he was slamming doors in my face like a silly child. The randomness of his actions and emotions always made my head spin. I took a deep, steadying breath, fighting the urge to kick the steel door down, which was unnecessary seeing as I do not have such strength, and rattled the door handle, instead…Locked. From the inside."Unbelievable," I muttered under my breath.Frustrated, sore, and still fiercely flushed from what had just happened in the armory, I turned around and headed down the corridor toward the secondary entrance of the eastern wing. I had my own set of keys to the quarters adjoining the suite via the back door, a small privilege Kaelen had arranged weeks ago since Aiden ha

CHAPTER FIFTY-NINE.IVY’S POVThe silence that followed Elder Vance’s announcement was deafening.I couldn't breathe. The air in the courtyard felt different, suffocating, filling my lungs with panic. I stared at the obsidian altar, its ancient runes pulsing with a sickening, annoying purple glow, just waiting for a drop of my blood to ignite.Three drops of blood.That was all it would take to end my life.From the front of our line, I could feel the tension warped in Aiden’s shoulder, and the tightness of his knuckles against his sword, his face was filled with anger… it made the Council guards instinctively tighten their grips on their spears. His fingers were wrapped completely around the hilt of his black steel blade. I could see the furious, rhythmic ticking of his jaw. He looked like he was calculating the advantages and disadvantages of a slaughter. If he drew his sword to protect me here, it would be a declaration of war against the High Council in front of the three werewolve
