Initiation (Wolf Blood Academy Book 1)

Page 14

by RaShelle Workman


  “It also marks the first year my daughter was able to participate.”

  The crowd cheered again, although with less enthusiasm than before.

  I sank down in my seat as a drone camera found me and put my face up on the jumbo screens on either side of the stage.

  “Are you ready to be introduced to this year’s initiates and discover which house they belong in?”

  Once again, the crowd went wild.

  They started from the last place and went one by one through each student until it was Wyatt’s turn. When he came up, my father did his best to keep his demeanor professional, but I saw it waver. He leaned in and said something to Wyatt before standing tall. “Legacy house,” he shouted.

  Everyone cheered.

  Dad handed him a royal blue sweater with a wolf head on the pocket. I’d come to learn that one represented his house.

  Then it was my turn. Dad called me on stage. I was nervous but made my way up. He gave me a brilliantly fake smile. “As I said earlier, this is my daughter’s first year at the Academy even though she is eighteen and should be graduating. Because of these extenuating circumstances and the fact that her wolf is silver, she will be placed in Legacy house, though she only has one year to complete all of her studies before she must graduate.” He looked at me like the loving father he wasn’t. “It will be difficult, but with the help of our amazing faculty as well as the Legacy house students, I feel confident you’ll be able to succeed.” He handed me a royal blue sweater, the same as Wyatt’s.

  I was barely able to move. What was he doing to me? Did he want me to fail? I had to learn seven years of classes in one? That was impossible.

  My father gave me a big smile and shook my hand, then waved me off the stage.

  I was in a daze. This couldn’t be real. How had I let my life come to this? And in such a short time.

  When I was back in my seat, my father said some other things, but I didn’t hear them. Then he excused everyone. I didn’t move. Just sat there until the auditorium was finally quiet, and I could listen to myself breathe.

  After I don’t know how long, Wyatt found me. I wanted to feel elated to see him, but there was too much on my mind.

  “Hey,” he said and sat in the seat beside me. “That was quite the speech your father gave.”

  “What did he say to you?” I asked.

  Wyatt flinched. “He told me to stay away from you,” he said lightly. “Apparently, I’m not who your dad had in mind as a boyfriend.

  I rolled my eyes. “He doesn’t get a say,” I said. Then turned in my seat so I could see him better. “Have you heard anything about Penelope?”

  He shook his head. “I haven’t had the chance yet. Want to go with me and talk to Dr. Nonna?”

  I did, but I had questions that had to be answered. “Was it you who tried to kill me that night?” I didn’t have to say which one. If it was him, then he would know exactly what I was talking about.

  “Diana,” he whispered. “That’s what I wanted to talk to you about.”

  “I’m going to be sick.” I sprinted out of the auditorium. The words his wolf spoke into my mind the night he rescued me came to mind. We have a blood bond, and that makes you mine. I shivered at the memory and became angry.

  Rushing past the front desk, I ran out the front door and down the steps, shifting into my wolf before reaching the bottom step. I howled, as Oakus hopped onto my back. And I sped away as fast as I could toward the Shade Rasa.

  My mother always told me to stay out of it—that the Shade was dangerous. Well, my father, Wyatt, his father, the Royals, and whoever the hell else wanted to come after me better watch out because the Shade wasn’t dangerous, I was. And I was coming for them.
