FANGS OF VENGEANCE: A WOLF'S REVENGE

Ravenna's POV

The sun was merciless. Sweat trickled down my forehead as I held the wooden spear tight. We have been training for hours in the sun. 

Professor Kael stood across from me. I tried not to meet his eyes, but he wouldn't look away. I wondered what he wanted to talk about. Our conversation in the garden unsettled me.

You can fool everyone else, but not me. Those words echoed in my mind. My skin prickled as I looked up and saw him looking at me again.

"Ready?" He called.

"Yes, sir."

He lunged and swung his spear. I blocked the impact and ducked to evade the second attack. He was fast and relentless. His strikes came hard. I had to step back to avoid his blows.

My feet slid in the dirt. I ducked under his swing and spun to strike his side. He caught my spear, then twisted it from my grip. It clattered to the ground. I stumbled, but caught myself on one knee.

"Not bad," he said, circling me. "But you're holding back. Unleash your full potential. Show me what you're hiding."

He came at me again and again until my arms ached and my knees trembled. I crashed onto the sandy ground, and then the professor stood over me.

"You have a lot to learn. See me in the office."

I remained on the ground as he walked away. My whole body ached. Like someone had smashed all my joints.

"Come on," Astrid offered me a hand. Her face glistened with sweat. Training is always hard here. That's why we're the best academy."

I leaned forward, panting. "I thought he was going to kill me."

Astrid chuckled. "Some teachers get more intense."

"I can't imagine anything worse than this. I need to run along. The professor wants to see me."

"Okay, I'll be in the dorm."

I stood up and brushed dirt from my knees. My chest heaved with nervousness. Why does Kael want to see me?

I scratched my sweaty face and walked to the block reserved for the tutors in the academy. I found Kael's office and walked in after a single knock.

The office was dimly lit. He had lots of books and files spread out on the walls. A portion of the desk had scrolls and maps on it. Kael was pacing when I entered.

"Took you so long," he muttered.

"I was a little tired after training."

"Close the door," he said.

I did so with shaky hands. "I'm here. What do you want to talk about?"

My pulse raced as I stared at him. Somehow, I felt like prey locked up with a predator. I hated the way his eyes gazed into mine. It made me feel small.

"I know the truth."

"What truth?" I replied, trying not to freak out.

"You're not Vexley Aleron," Kael said, gradually walking up to me. "You're Ravenna. The Omega who was once dead."

Damn it! How did he even know? I tried to look confused, but I wasn't sure I pulled it off.

"Who is Ravenna? You probably have me confused with someone else."

He tilted his head. "Don't play games with me."

"I'm not. . ."

"Shhh," He brushed my lips with a finger. That gentle touch made my spine tingle. It felt like I had been zapped with a taser.

"I see you. I see it all. I understand your pain, your anger. . . You're here for revenge, and I know it."

Now, there was no use denying. He had figured things out already.

"What if I am? What's it to you?"

Kael let out a big smile. He leaned closer until his lips were inches away from my ear. "I want the Bloodmoons destroyed. Selena betrayed me. She used me and cast me aside."

"That's not my business."

"Of course, it's not. But you will do as I say. That's the smart choice. I'll give you power and protection."

My heart thudded. His offer was a trap. But it was tempting too. I needed allies. I might not be able to face Selena and her family alone. "Why are you trying to involve me in your revenge? Why not do it on your own?"

"I can see you're burning with more rage. I can feel the intensity. Yes, you can do it. You WILL do it "

I stepped back, inching toward the door. I hated where this was going. "Can I take some time to think about it?"

"Think about what? Aren't you here for revenge?"

"I want to decide if I should ally with you."

"You don't have a choice." He chuckled. "I could expose you now. One word to Selena, and you're done. She would trust me even further, and I'll get a better chance to carry out my revenge plans."

I swallowed and shook my head. I had to be careful here. The smart thing to do was to make sure Kael and I were on the same side.

"Fine. We have a deal."

"That's not all," Kael said.

"What else?"

He closed the gap between us again and set his palm on my back. With the way his eyes twinkled, I knew exactly what was on his mind. He trailed his hand down my back until his palm rubbed my butt.

I stared at him blankly. I had gotten to the stage where I no longer got emotional over my body. It was now a weapon, a tool to achieve my goals.

He undid the buttons of my training vest and lifted my bra. His breath caught as he stared at my erect nipples. Our eyes met and I nodded, urging him on.

Kael trailed his tongue on my nipple, rolling around the areola. Pleasure gripped me hard. He teased one nipple with his tongue and lips while massaging the second one with his other hand.

"Oh, damn it!" I moaned. I couldn't believe what this man was doing to me.

He leaned away from my breast and whispered against my neck. "Suck me."

I needed no second urging. I pulled down his pants and freed his throbbing cock. It was rock hard. And it reminded me of Ronan's. I took the cock in my mouth while massaging the base. His eyes rolled in their sockets. I sucked him hard until I heard him groaning.

Footsteps down the hall made him pull out of my mouth. He was panting. I felt a wave of disappointment. I thought after that intense sucking, he would slide his cock into my wet pussy. I was turned on already.

"Next time, we'll take it further," he whispered as he pulled up his pants.

I nodded and snapped my vest back on.

"See you soon." He winked at me.

I didn't say a word. I turned around and left his office. Wow, that went from zero to a hundred pretty fast.

The Academy's halls were quiet as I headed back to my dorm. I was ready for this challenge. Having someone like Kael on my side was a boost to my already high morale.

I needed to see Ronan. It was time to start my plan and I had to first draw him close before breaking him.

I strolled around the Bloodmoon courtyard, hoping to see me. Memories of Kael's throbbing cock played in my head. I wasn't in this game for pleasure. But I didn't mind some fun along the way.

After checking the courtyard and the hallway, I got tired of looking for Ronan and almost headed back to my dorm. But I decided to check the garden first.

I found him there, holding a rose petal and staring into space. His damp hair gave him a boyish charm. But I knew better. He wasn't to be trusted. He and his mother were killers!

My lips curved into a smile as I walked toward him. "Alpha Ronan."

"Vexley?"

"Yes, Alpha. I wanted to thank you for saving me yesterday."

"Oh, it's okay," he smiled. And suddenly, I remembered the days when that smile meant the world to me.

"How did you know I was here?"

"Just my instincts."

"Hmmm." He peered at me and pursed his lips. "Do you believe in reincarnation?"

"I don't know, do you?"

"I certainly do now. Because it feels like I've met you before."

My smile widened. "Maybe we knew each other in another life."

"Maybe." He reached for my hand. Jolts of electricity coursed through my veins as he massaged my fingers. "Join me for a walk tomorrow. Come to this garden at dusk."

"Sure, Alpha. I'll come." We stood side by side in silence for a moment, then Ronan gave my hand a gentle squeeze and walked away.

Whew! Things were going pretty good. It wouldn't be hard to get Ronan in my grip. I turned around, heading out of the garden. And then I saw Thalia, standing in the distance, glaring at me with looks that could kill.
