“You haur continuously skirted the rules since you got here, Miss Morgan. Your disrespectful nature is what makes you unsuitable for my
Academy.”
Ava haid never felt so much resentment for anybody as she followed behind the dean
“Maybe you should have listened to me in the first place,” she mumbled.
The dean stopped and twirled around, his blue eyes glowing as he grinded at her.
The guards who were dragging her out of the training block rightened their grip on her arms and forced her to stop. Their fingers painfully dug into her flesh as they held her in place. There would be huge bruises on her skin to match their giant hands when they finally let her go Seriously. where did they get such huge guanks! Even the gun at the gate had been big, and he’d looked pist as serious as these two. She hadn’t struggled once she accepted the consequences of her actions, so their aggression was completely interesury
“I don’t know what you have offered Alpha Ezekiel in return for his protection, and I don’t care,” the dean hissed. “I don’t care why the Council brought you here or why they think you belong. I don’t care that you progressed further than your coach predicted. This is my academy, and you are making a mockery of everything we stand for.”
As he spoke, the dean stepped towards her, and his anger brought the usual fear. She had forgotten what it felt like to be faced with so much hatred. Hiding behind Ezekiel had made her too comfortable.

“Even now, you dare to look me in the eyes as if we are equals, the dean spat out. “You are nothing. Miss Morgan. Less than nothing. Know your place
He turned to start walking again before he threw the last words over his shoulder.
“Just for that, you’ll do two
o days in Isolation”
Her breath hutched as she stood frozen in place. But that didn’t make a difference because the two guards roughly dragged her forward, lifting her off her feet so her legs dangled uselessly as they continued walking
Two days
Her mind went back to Ezekiel’s time in Isolation. Though most of it was hazy, she remembered the pain. She remembered the nightmares. She remembered her mind feeling like it was breaking, unable to process and handle everything. She’d felt like she was still stuck in the forest until Zeke finally came home.
Was that what she was in for? Mental torture? Or would it be physical?
The other students had congregated ourside, and their voices snapped her out of it as the guards dragged her past them. There was laughter among
whispers.

The last our had her whipping her bead around to look at the students who had said it. Maybe these really were her last moments.

back to her
And then he turned and started walking back the way they had come.
The guards pulled her through the doors, and they slammed shut behind them. The sound made her flinch before she started to hyperventilate.
“Please… I’m human. What’s going to happen to me?
The guards remained silent and emotionless as they took her down some stairs. The moment they reached the bottom, she felt a sense of dread. It was exactly how she felt when she ventured too close to the dark forest that had almost claimed her.
“What’s down here! Please help me, I won’t survive this,” she said desperately.
But the next instant, a door slid open, and the guards threw her inside. She landed hard on her shoulder on the cold, marble floor.
She only had time to glimpse a mattress along one side of the small room before the door closed and the light disappeared.
And the darkness–the same darkness that had been following her since she had survived the forest–swallowed her whole. She could not escape it. The sticky molasses covered her skin, fire flowed through her veins, and her breathing worsened as she curled up on the floor and closed her eyes
She couldn’t breathe. Every breath she managed came out in short, ragged and painful as she hugged her knees. She could already feel that evil seeping into her body, dragging her mind back into the forest Zeke couldn’t save her this time. Nobody could save her.
The pain started in her head, like icy fingers attacking her from all directions. Her chest began to hurt from lack of oxygen. This was really how she died. Alone and pitiful. All her earlier confidence that she could take care of herself shattered in the face of this unbeatable foe.
Unable to do anything else, she let her mind wander to that place in her head, that beautiful beach that she had escaped to the times her mind had been unable to process her pain.
It came to her easily. The beautiful cliffs, the waves gently licking the sand on the beach, the uninterrupted view of the horizon.
And on that beautiful beach, she took her first deep breath
As she looked around, she realised everything felt realistic. There was no pain there. No stickiness, fire in her veins, or unnatural darkness. The sun was high above her; she could even feel its warm rays on her skin.
She didn’t know how long she had escaped into her imagination when her imaginary Zeke appeared beside her. He had an intense look on his face as he studied her.
“You’re okay,” he stated.
“No. I think I’ve lost my damn
mind,” she laughed.
How else could she explain this?
She knew where she was in reality, yet here she was with the salty breeze hitting her face.
“Why are you here?” she asked her imaginary Zeke.
“Because I’m yours.”
