Chapter 180: But I Don't Care About Any of That! Orion's POV ༥ 74%= 'Magic?" I stopped dead in my tracks. Evelyn turned around, something complicated flickering in her eyes. "Remember that bloodline thing I mentioned? Alpha King Nathan is my uncle. That makes me Alistair's cousin." She took a breath, her voice getting serious. 'He told me that royal daughters are born different. Some read minds, some control elements. Legend says there'll be someone with multiple gifts." I stared at her. "You're saying..." "Nathan thinks I'm that person. Her voice dropped to almost a whisper.

"Back in that storage room, anyone else would've died. But I survived. Not just luck - I've got some kind of resistance to toxins." Rage hit me like a freight train. "Acacia." I spit her name out like poison. "I know it was her. She almost killed you, and we just sat there doing nothing." "Ori..." "No!" I spun away, fists clenched tight. I watched you suffer, watched you leave. All because of 'not enough evidence. Max and Luc keep talking about the bigger picture, pack stability." I whipped back around to face her. "But I don't give a shit about any of that! I only care if you're safe.

Maybe I'm not Alpha material because I can't stay cold and calculating like them." Evelyn's POV His words hit me right in the chest. "You're wrong." I stepped closer. "You three each bring something different. Maxandles strategy, Luc does diplomacy. And you..." I reached up to touch his face. "You actually give a damn about people. That matters just as much." He closed his eyes, leaning into my hand. "Sometimes I hate being weak." "That's not weakness. That's being human." I kept my voice soft. "Right now, let's focus on what's happening.

I need to control these abilities, and you're the only one who can help. He opened his eyes, confused. "Why me?" "Because you feel my pain. You find me when I need you most." I smiled at him. Maybe we're connected deeper than we thought." We started our warm-up run through Silver Pines. Morning mist still clung to the trees, sunlight breaking through in golden patches. This place held so many memories, but now it felt different. Peaceful. Full of hope. 'So what's this elemental manipulation' thing actually mean? Orion asked as wogged. "Think of it like..." I searched for the right words.

"Your wolf senses smells and sands, right? My abilities let me feel hidden stuff. Earth's heartbeat, wind talking, water flowing." *Sounds like some mystical bullshit." 1/3 10:05 Mon, Jan 12 D Chapter 180: But I Don't Care About Any of That! "Pretty much. I laughed. "When I practiced with Juniper, I felt underground root networks. Plants warning each other about danger coming. Orion grabbed my arm, stopping us both. 'What danger?" 74% "Don't know. But nature picks up on things before we do." I looked at his worried face. "That's why I need to learn this fast.

If the rogues are using magic, we need defenses." Back at the pack house, Dora had lunch ready. She shoved a basket of food at me going on about making sure I ate enough. "Just got some meat back on those bones, can't have you getting skinny again." She kept adding stuff to the basket. "Ori, you watch her. Don't let her forget to eat during training." We found a quiet spot in the back garden. Orion opened the basket and amazing smells hit us immediately. "So now what?" he asked. "How do you start this magic training?" 1 carefully pulled out Juniper's ancient book.

The thing practically hummed with energy, leather cover gleaming weird in the sunlight. "First this." I found the envelope tucked inside. "Juniper said there are specific instructions." The envelope tingled when I touched it. Definitely enchanted. I opened the letter and read: Dear Evelyn, By the time you read this, I'll be handling more urgent business. The witch council got word - rogue wolves aren't just torturing innocent werewolves, they're going after my people too. We can't let this slide. You need to start training immediately.

I think you're key to the coming war, but on if you master your power. Study the marked chapters in order - no skipping. Your wolf has magical talent too. Asten to her when you're stuck. Important: Always have someone trustworthy with you during practice. Magic training can make you pass out or drain your energy. Your safety matters more than progress. I've prepared two crucial skills: protective barriers and elemental charm making. The first protects you and your team from magical attacks. The second gives ongoing protection. Remember - only one charm per day. More than that will hurt you.

Practice at night you can rest after. Emergency contact through Conrad. Moon Goddess bless you, child. Juniper I set the letter down. Orion was rubbing his temples, frowning. 'You look like hell, I said, concerned. 'Tried reading along with you. Felt like someone smashing my skull with a hamn. He winced. That normal?" 'Letter's got protection spells. Only I can read it. I opened the bock. "Try this." Orion glanced at the pages, then jerked back fast. "Fuck! Hot as fire! What the h are you studying?" 2/3 10:05 Mon, Jan 12 D G. Chapter 180: But I Don't Care About Any of That! "Top secret stuff.

I closed the book. 'Good thing Juniper's careful. Means her knowledge is valuable." 74% We spent the next few hours working on protective barriers. Hard as hell at first I could feel magic moving inside me but couldn't control it right. Orion watched for signs I was pushing too hard. 'How you feeling?' After my tenth try, he handed me water. "Like I ran a marathon." I was breathing hard. 'But I think I'm getting close. Caneel energy building in the air." By evening, we headed back to the main building. Everyone was already on the terrace waiting.

Sophia and Freya looked beat but excited their patro! must've gone well. "How'd you two do today?" I sat at the dinner table. "That whiny kid behave himself?" "After Freya's special training, he's done complaining." Sophia grinned. "She showed him what 'harsh reality' means." "Just taught him that real fights don't get easier because you whine." Freya shrugged. "Kid's got potential. Just needs discipline." "Speaking of discipline, Elliot turned to Freya, his voice going soft. "You were ingredible today.

Those kids worship you, especially when you showed them combat moves." He leaned closer, voice low enough only our table could hear. "You know what? Watching you train them, I started thinking about the future..." Freya's eyes went wide. I felt my face heating up. Jesus, when did Elliot start flirting? And with Freya of all people?
