IN LOVE WITH HIS CURVY HYBRID ENEMY
She has spent her entire life training to hate them.
Now the Academy is forcing her to bond with one of them.
Selina Vaughn arrives at Runeblood Academy with a pure soul, a broken heart, and a burning resentment against every living werewolf. The kingdom's ley lines are crumbling. The only solution is a soulbond alliance with the Runeblood pack, and that means binding her destiny to Raymond Viel, the cold, cursed Alpha heir who looks at humans as if they were already dead.
He is everything she has been taught to despise.
She is everything he has been taught to reject.
Their public bonding ceremony ends in screams. Their shared quarters become a battleground of harsh words and even harsher silences. But when a rogue wolf is released to kill her, Raymond is the one who saves her life. When the academy turns against the soft, curvy hybrid girl in their midst, he's the one who quietly stops the worst.
Feelings creep in where hatred should reside. A single night trapped in a storm trial tears down the wall between them. A kiss threatens to rewrite everything they believe about blood, power, and each other.
But secrets don't stay buried at Runeblood.
Selina's fae blood awakens. Raymond's curse tightens. A former best friend appears, claiming to be his true mate. Ancient forces circle the academy, hungry for the pure soul that traverses its halls. And the people who sent Selina here never intended for her to survive.
Enemies. Allies. Liars.
A bond. A curse. A chance to choose each other before the truth destroys them both.
Until the curse do us part.

Chapter: CHAPTER 52Selina~Raymond tensed. The key in his chest pulsed more strongly. The thread between us responded to Kael’s presence. It grew denser. More alive. Yet I also sensed the danger. This man was old. Powerful. And he had once borne a key himself. What did he want now?Kael looked at me. His shattered, mirror-like eyes slid over the thread. Then over the key in Raymond’s chest.You sacrificed what bound you together. That is why the thread is pure. That is why the soul lies open. That is why the Master wants you both. I can bind the Eye temporarily. I can make it harder for the Master to access the key. But only for a short time. And only if you allow me to touch the thread. The price is high. I am broken. Every touch takes a toll on me. And perhaps costs you more than you have left.The true Master laughed. The sound came from the tunnel and the Eye at once.He is lying. He wants the key for himself. He wants the thread. He is just as hungry as I am. Trust him, and you will lose everything

Chapter: CHAPTER 51Selina~Iris laughed. The sound was thin and sharp. Tendrils of shadow whipped across the courtyard. One aimed for Geraldine. Alfred hurled his last blade of light and struck the tendril. The light flickered and died. Geraldine whispered an incantation. The ashes of the old book formed a faint shield. The shield held for only seconds. Then it shattered. New figures rose from the smoke. More than before. The True Master stepped forward. Every mouth opened in unison.The harvest does not end with a single outburst. The key is ready. The soul is open. The thread is pure. I am taking both.He raised an arm made of shadow and broken lines. The hand did not reach for the thread. It reached for Raymond. For the key. For the wolf. Coldness flooded through the connection. I felt the Master begin to pull the key out. Raymond gasped. His eyes widened. The thread flickered wildly. Pain exploded—white and absolute. I gripped his hand with both of mine. The thread flared up. I poured the last remna

Chapter: CHAPTER 50Selina~The figure straightened. Taller. Denser. The figures rose. Iris smiled. The scarred woman crawled closer. The red moon cast only darkness.Raymond tried to pull me behind him. His strength was spent. The key pulsed erratically. The wolf was too exhausted. Rowan lay motionless. Alfred knelt beside Geraldine. The thread was strong. But we were not.The True Master’s hand reached out again. For Raymond. For the key. For the wolf. I felt the cold. Felt the Master beginning to pull the key out. Raymond gasped. The thread flickered.Selina. If he takes the key, the thread will snap for good. Then I’ll be his. Then you’ll be alone.I grasped his hand with both of mine. The thread flared up. I poured my will—and the very last of my strength—into it. The key resisted. The Master pulled harder. The eye grew larger. The figure loomed over us. All faces smiled.The harvest is nearly complete. Only the key remains. Then both of you will belong to me. Forever.Raymond’s body tensed. The wol

Chapter: CHAPTER 49Selina~The True Master’s hand reached out again. Not for the tether this time. For Raymond. For the key. For the wolf. Through our connection, I felt the cold reach him—felt the Master beginning to extract the key. Raymond gasped. His eyes widened. The tether flickered.*Selina. If he takes the key, the tether will snap for good. Then I’ll be his. Then you’ll be alone.*I grasped his hand with both of mine. The tether flared up. I poured my will and the last remnants of myself into it—everything that remained after the sacrifice of warmth. The key resisted. The Master pulled harder. The eye swelled to the size of a human head. The True Master’s figure loomed over us. Every face was smiling.*The harvest is nearly complete. Only the key remains. Then you both belong to me. Forever.*Raymond’s body went rigid. The wolf stirred one last time—not to fight, but to choose. His voice was nothing more than a breath against my ear.*I’ll tear the key out myself. Before he can get it. The teth

Chapter: CHAPTER 48Selina~The thread held its breath.Raymond’s fingers dug into my hand so hard my bones cracked. The stolen key within his chest was coming loose under the relentless pull of the true Master’s hand. Light and shadow and pure pain merged into a single white explosion behind my eyes. Through the connection, I felt every fiber of that tugging. Cold. Hunger. The sensation of something essential slipping out of him. The wolf inside him had already made its choice. It would tear the key out by force before the Master could fully claim it. The thread would snap. I would be free. He would fall.No.The word wasn't a sound. It was a command I issued to the thread itself. I poured the last remnant of myself into it. Everything the empty abysses still had to offer. The places where Carolina and Elian—and the warmth of our connection—had been on the stone floor. The core. The moment he had truly looked at me for the first time. The thrust that had driven us both over the edge. The resolve that I

Chapter: CHAPTER 47Selina~Raymond sank to his knees. I went down with him. We pressed our hands together. The wounded thread trembled. We poured what was left into it. Will. The last clear memory of the core. The moment we had found each other on the stone floor. The first true look. The push that had driven us both over the edge. The thread accepted it. It grew by a tiny fraction. The eye twitched.It grew smaller. The True Master hissed with rage.Iris shouted a command. The figures attacked again. More precisely this time. They weren't aiming at us. They were aiming at the point between us. Shadowy hands reached for it. Every touch made the thread flicker. Every touch drained away the warmth. The memory of his body. Of the moment when the key, the soul, and the wolf had merged into a single sensation. Everything turned greyer.Raymond roared. The wolf took over. His movements became faster. Raw. Deadly. He tore apart vines and figures with a ferocity that filled the courtyard with black light. But e
