Thora's POV: The moment I heard the sound, I pulled back the flame on my fingertip. At the end of the hallway, a figure rushed toward me. It was Felix Green—Thora's younger brother. He ran up, still breathing hard. His eyes swept over Hazel, who was collapsed on the floor, then locked on me. His brows drew together, just barely, as if the chill I carried had scared him. "What are you doing?" His voice was steadier than before, but still tight. I shrugged. "As you can see." "Are you crazy?" He grabbed my arm and yanked me away from Hazel. Only after pulling me a few steps back did he shove me off."How dare you touch Hazel? She's a pureblood! If you really hurt her, not even Grandpa could protect you when the Council came after us. Stop acting recklessly, and don't drag me down with you!" With that, he stormed off to his room, his heavy steps echoing. The door slammed so hard it rattled the walls. I glanced back. Hazel was still on the floor, pale and dazed. Clearly, my killing intent had scared her stiff. That was fine. At least she wouldn't bother me again anytime soon. Her life could wait. Back in my room, I went through my recovery exercises while sorting through memories of Felix. He must have just returned from night training, which was why he caught me earlier. Felix was the only one in the family who didn't hate Thora. We shared the same mother and bloodline.When they were kids, Thora and Felix had been close. But as they grew, distance formed. The truth was simple—power. Thora still hadn't awakened her wolf spirit. At Astralis College, she ranked at the bottom in everything. She was the joke of the whole school. Felix, on the other hand, had awakened his wolf spirit at 13. His talent wasn't the best among purebloods, but he was relentless. With training, he ranked near the top of Astralis College's Combat Class and fitness tests. His combat rating was solid at an A level—second only to Hazel in the family. Hazel had fueled the divide, and in the end, Felix and Thora had grown apart. When I finished my workout, I was out of breath. This body was still too weak. Using my abilities today drained me quickly. Family ties didn't matter right now. My first task was to build strength. Without that, I couldn't face what was coming—or give Amie a body strong enough for her to recover. ... After that night, Hazel stayed quiet. She didn't show up much around the family, claiming she was training in seclusion to boost her wolf power before the school's combat rankings. She kept herself locked in her room, never mentioning the fight. That was fine by me. My injuries healed fully within the week—faster than I expected. Maybe Amie's rebirth boosted this body's recovery. A week later, Astralis College was set to start again. It was also the day Norman returned to the Imperial Army to serve as a colonel. The Astralis Empire was home to many wolf packs. But the Greens were special. They weren't just the Alpha family of the Silverleaf Pack—they were also one of the Empire's top military families. Marlon Green had been a general, a war hero, his victories legendary. That glory secured the Greens' rule over the Silverleaf Pack and gave them high standing across the Empire. Before leaving, Norman only told Hazel and Felix to train hard and not embarrass the family. He didn't look at me once, still treating me as invisible. I didn't care. I'd never seen him as a father anyway—too biased, too selfish. Hazel shot me a glare before grabbing the family car and driving off to school like a queen. I just rolled my eyes and headed to the garage. There, an old sedan sat unused. Marlon had given it to Thora for her 16th birthday, but she had been too timid to drive it herself. Perfect for me. Honk! Honk! Just as I reached the garage, a black convertible pulled up.Behind the wheel was Felix, wearing the college uniform. His posture was straight, his eyes sharp, studying me like a stranger. I raised an eyebrow. "What? Don't recognize me after just a few days?" I'd only cut my hair short and switched to a uniform that was easier to move in. "Are you getting in or not?" His tone wasn't exactly friendly. I pocketed my keys and slid into the passenger seat. The car started, silence hanging heavy between us. "You've changed," Felix said suddenly. I nodded. "Yeah." Screech! He slammed the brakes. His head whipped toward me, eyes sharp."You're not her."
