Aurora veyl 💜 I eventually decided I couldn’t stay in the forest forever, no matter how nice the company was. Nightshade Academy still existed, and if I disappeared for too long someone would probably invent a new crime to pin on me.“Okay, big guy,” I said, giving the wolf one last scratch behind the ears. “I have to go back.”I took three steps toward the path.The wolf took three steps with me.I stopped. He stopped. His grey eyes looked up at me with pure innocence, as if he had no idea why I was frowning.“No,” I told him. “You stay. I go. That’s the arrangement.”I started walking again. Soft paws padded beside me immediately. Every time I slowed down, a warm nose nudged my hand or a heavy head pressed against my arm like a reminder that I was not, in fact, alone.It was adorable.It was also becoming a problem.By the time the academy walls came into view through the trees, I was properly worried. I stopped and crouched so we were closer to eye level—or as close as anyone cou

Aurora veyl💜I stayed frozen long after the howl faded, waiting for the enormous wolf to lunge. It didn’t. Instead, those piercing grey eyes softened in a way that made absolutely no sense on a creature that size. The corners of its mouth almost seemed to turn downward. If I didn’t know better, I would have said it looked… sad.“Hey,” I said carefully, because talking to a giant predator felt only slightly less insane than everything else that had happened to me lately. “I’m not going to hurt you. Are you… okay? Did something happen?”The wolf blinked slowly.I took that as permission to keep talking. “Because if you’re lonely, I get it. I’m having a pretty terrible week myself. I woke up in someone else’s body, an entire school hates me, nobody will tell me what actually happened to the girl I’m supposedly responsible for pushing into a well, and I still don’t know if my real family is even alive. So if you’re out here having a rough day too, congratulations. We’re both disasters.”

Aurora Veyl 💜 I left the academy grounds through the eastern gate because it was the quietest and because no one tried to stop me. Apparently being universally hated came with one small advantage: people preferred not to get close enough to ask where I was going.The path toward the Forbidden Forest started as a neat gravel trail and quickly lost interest in remaining neat. Within minutes the trees closed in, taller and darker than the ones that framed the academy courtyards. I shoved my hands into the pockets of the blazer that still didn’t feel like mine and started talking to myself because the alternative was listening to how loud my own footsteps had become.“Since nobody is going to tell me where the well is, why not turn this into an adventure?” I muttered. “Honestly, what else am I supposed to do? I’ve lost my family, I’m stuck in somebody else’s body, and I don’t even know if this is a dream or some ridiculously expensive supernatural nightmare. What exactly are we supposed

Aurora Veyl 💜 The courtyard did not empty after the vampire prince walked away. If anything, the circle of students tightened. Conversations that had paused for his arrival restarted with sharper edges the moment he was gone. I stood in the middle of it all, wearing a face everyone hated and a uniform that somehow still smelled like someone else’s perfume.A girl with silver hair and vampire marks on her wrists wrinkled her nose as she passed. “I can’t believe she showed up.”Her friend didn’t bother lowering her voice. “She probably came back to finish what she started.”I exhaled through my nose and started walking. Every step I took created a small wave of movement. Students stepped aside like I carried a contagious disease. A few openly glared. One boy from a werewolf house muttered something about hybrids and bad blood loud enough for me to hear.*Fantastic,* I thought. *I’ve inherited a body, a wardrobe, a reputation, and a school full of people who want me gone. Still no inst

Kael Draven🖤I sat on the throne of black stone and listened to my generals argue about border patrols for the third time that morning. The same reports. The same concerns. The same careful voices that never dared tell me anything I did not already know. My fingers tapped once against the armrest. The sound alone was enough to quiet the nearest official.I was not interested.Then the scent reached me.It slid into the throne room like smoke, soft and impossible to ignore. Sweet in a way that had nothing to do with flowers. Sharp in a way that had nothing to do with blood. It wrapped around my senses and pulled every thought I owned into a single, violent focus.My wolf surged forward so hard I nearly stood.*She’s here.*I froze.*Our mate is here.*The words slammed through my skull with the force of a claim I had waited years to hear and had long stopped expecting. I kept my face expressionless through sheer will. Around me the court continued speaking, unaware that the air itsel

Aurora Veyl 💜 I stood in front of the mirror for a long time, waiting for the face to change back into mine. It didn’t. The reflection kept staring at me with those cold silver eyes and that perfect, arrogant mouth that had spent an entire movie making my blood pressure rise.A soft knock pulled me out of the spiral.The same maid from earlier stepped inside, carefully avoiding my gaze. “My lady, the carriage is ready. The academy expects your return today. The headmistress was clear—absence will only fuel more talk.”Academy. Right. The prestigious supernatural school where vampires, werewolves, and every other powerful bloodline sent their children to learn how to rule the world without killing each other in the hallways.I had no better plan than to play along and gather information, so I nodded like I understood anything that was happening. The maid helped me into a dark uniform that fit too well—black blazer with silver trim, crisp shirt, a crest I didn’t recognize embroidered
