Chapter 12
“Fine,” he sighed. “Can I at least know if you think Rochwall is going to make you Elite Captain this year or do I just have to keep my mouth shut?”
“Captain…” I repeated, thinking about the position.
Rochwall was our commander on the Elite Team. He was a Lycan from another kingdom and a well–respected alumni who had excelled in everything from combat to strategy. Back when he attended Starlight, he had been on the Elite Team with the king, who had always spoken highly of him.
Nate bobbed his head. “With Jessie graduating, someone’s got to take over, and let’s be honest, you’re the top pick.”
I gave a nonchalant shrug, trying to act like the thought hadn’t crossed my mind- although it definitely had.
“Rochwall hasn’t said anything yet. But I’m not going to beg for it.”
“Of course you’re not,” Nate grinned. “But we all know you’re the best candidate.”
Becoming Elite Captain was something I expected as there was no one fit enough for that role, but as of now, I had other things to deal with.
“Speaking of the Elite Team,” Nate began. “One of the new recruits, Violet, is Dylan’s little sister.”
I hummed, pretending not to be interested. So she was Dylan’s little sister? Personally, I had nothing with that guy. He had the worst superiority complex, and that was coming
from me. No wonder those two were related.
Even though that meant Violet came from a somewhat important family, it meant nothing to me. She was from a small pack, and still–a puppy.
“She’s great.” Nate smiled.
My jaw tightened. “Is that so?”
“Yes,” he spoke. “I mean, she’s quiet, but funny, I’ve heard she’s a good healer, she’s…

beautiful-”
“Too bad she’s a puppy,” I clenched my fists at my sides although I kept my expression in
control. Beautiful? Who was he calling beautiful?
Nate being Nate, he was probably just being friendly–and if he wasn’t, I had to protect
him from danger.
Four–eyes was a plague.
If she was unworthy of me, she was also unworthy of my friend.
“It’s not like I want her,” Nate chuckled. “I just think she’s cool to hang out with.”
“Speaking of hanging out,” he continued. “What’s going on between you and my sister? Chrystal’s been telling everyone that the two of you might be getting back together?”
I let out a frustrated sigh. He went from one mess to another. “There’s nothing going
between us. Your sister and I are done.”
“Well, someone should tell her that,” Nate snorted. “Because she’s been telling people something different.”
I let out a frustrated sound, running a hand through my hair. Chrystal had always been a problem, and ever since she received the blessing from the Lycan King–it had become even worse over the years. She thought she was untouchable.
“Have you seen your sister?” I asked, wanting to put the record straight.
She wasn’t the only girl I was with, and she wasn’t going to ruin my sophomore year with
all that stalking.
“I think I saw her near the courtyard.”
“I’ll go deal with her,” I said to Nate. “I’ll catch you later.”
We parted ways, and I immediately made my way over to the courtyard.
Indeed, I spotted Chrystal, standing and laughing with her friends. Unless I was inside of her, the sight of her made my blood boil. I hated rumors, especially when they weren’t
true.

I hated them because every little thing would reach Lupyria, which meant they would reach the king. She knew that.
“Chrystal!” I called out, causing all the girls to look at me.
“Oh, I’m sorry?” I spoke, sarcastically. “Since when did we have so many Chrystals?”
Luckily the girls got the memo and walked away with either a scoff or a smirk. Chrystal had her hands on her hips, a smug smile plastered across her face.
