Chapter 27

Hollis

Before the trials begin, we take a small tour of the shops in the area. A sculptor named Sebastian catches Bella’s eye. She hangs on his every word and seems drawn to him from the moment we enter the shop. If she wasn’t already set on Orwell, I would have questioned if this artisan was her true mate.

Returning to the castle grounds, we come face to face with lines of tables and puzzles. Of all the crazy things that I’ve seen in different trials, this one takes the cake. You would think that we were at some prestigious academy. Whereas entrance to the Academy was that you are required to have an IQ of over 140 and that you could solve every puzzle known to wolf and man. We explore the field filled with all the different levels of puzzles in the arena, each station having a different puzzle with a different difficulty. Bella walks between all of them, looking over each, noting that there are three different styles of puzzles.

The first one appears to be a three-dimensional puzzle. There’s a picture and a bunch of pieces laid out on the table and Bella looks that one over. There are several choices of three-dimensional puzzles that need to be built. And of course, my mate takes the most difficult one possible. We’re not allowed to stand anywhere near her once she takes a table, and when she does, the official comes over and sets the timer next to the puzzle.

Each puzzle has its own allotted time. The easiest puzzle in this three-dimensional debacle takes a little less than an hour and fifty-six minutes to complete. The one that she chose to do takes three hours. On the count of three, the judge counts it off and Bella starts building. I watch her sort the puzzle pieces out first so she can figure out what goes where. When she finishes sorting the pieces, she starts building the base of the puzzle.

“Hey Orwell, what puzzle is she building?” I just had to ask the prince.

“Wow, she chose that one,” he says that as he runs his hand down his face and shakes his head.

“Is it really that bad?” He just looks at me, looks back over at Bella.

“We’ve yet to see anyone actually complete that puzzle in the last century. Only one person completed it, and it was the person who created the puzzle.” I can’t help but look between Orwell and back over to Kaedyn. He’s now visibly sweating from the stress of watching our mate take on this most difficult puzzle.

“What’s that supposed to be, anyway?” Orwell just looks at us and then stares back out across the field at Bella.

“It’s the puzzle of Romulus and Remus. The two wolves that supposedly found Rome.” And then reality dawns on us; it is the first depicted history of shifters in the world. We watch for what seems like forever, but in reality. It’s only been approximately thirty-five minutes and Bella is already halfway done.
