"Anyway," Callum said firmly, his tone serious as his eyes bore into hers, "since it's decided, you should rest now. Prepare yourself for tonight. Mirabel already secured a sick leave from the academy today, which means she won't be able to train under her assigned Alpha either. We'll be teaching both you and Mirabel starting tonight. She'll remain at home until the day of the ceremony. During the day, you'll attend school as usual, so your only window for training will be at night."
"Exactly," Theo added, ruffling Victoria's hair playfully. "You need to rest while you can. You'll be the one who suffers most from exhaustion....balancing classes in the day and intense training at night. So take a nap if you must, little sister. Don't push yourself too far."
"Take care of yourself, dear," Lucian murmured warmly, his lips curving into a small smile.
