Aria's pov

I watch Adrian disappear down the hall, his easy, cocky stride echoing against the stone walls until he vanishes around a corner. His confidence fills the space even after he is gone, like he carved it into the floor with every step. I stand there, frozen, staring at the empty corridor.

What does he mean when he says I will be seeing him again? He says it like a promise, like it is already decided. He is strange one, dangerous and cocky. He is everything I should avoid, and yet… some

  • ARIA: The Rise Of The Half Wolf Phoenix    Chapter 96: Again

    Aria's povFire… screams… blood… the sound of crunching bones. Fire… screams… blood… the sound of crunching bones. The nightmare always starts the same, a cruel loop in my mind but this time it doesn’t stop where it usually does. It keeps going.The dark forest comes next, darker than night and alive. The Creatures from before move between the trees, their bodies twisted, their screeches tearing through the air like blades. Vines slither along the ground and rise wrapping around my legs, my waist, my throat, dragging me back no matter how hard I fight. Their touch burns and freezes all at once, thorns biting into my skin as if the forest itself wants to claim me.I’m running and not moving at all.The ground drops away and the darkness dissolves, and suddenly I'm back in the rose field.But this time I'm surrounded by people instead.They stand around me, dozens of them, their faces turned toward me and their eyes warm with recognition. I don’t recognize any of them, yet my chest ac

  • ARIA: The Rise Of The Half Wolf Phoenix    Chapter 95: The Omega

    Kael's povThe shower is running far longer than necessary, steam filling my private dressing room until the mirrors fog over and the marble walls sweat with heat, yet none of it touches the mess inside my head. I stand beneath the spray with my palms pressed flat to the wall, my jaw clenched, forcing myself to breathe through the knot tightening in my chest.I had almost fucked her and marked her right there on the desk in a freaking public library like a complete idiot. I almost killed her.That had never been the plan.I brought her there to talk, to understand what she told the Council and what she revealed under pressure, because no one walks into that chamber unchanged. Instead she panicked, her fear bleeding straight into my bones, and somewhere between trying to calm her and protect her, one thing had led to another.I had been thinking with my fucking dick.Even after I shut off the water and drag a towel over my skin, her scent clings to me stubbornly…….and the scent of he

  • ARIA: The Rise Of The Half Wolf Phoenix    Chapter 94: he is just a boy

    Aria's povMy head is still spinning as the two massive men lead me outside, one hand gripping each of mine.It’s probably the only thing keeping me upright.The Council's last reply to me had cracked something open inside my head leaving me numb, my thoughts spilling everywhere. I have even forgotten the threesome I was thinking about leaving my head wide open for the council to invade.Of course that thought was gone immediately I left their presence. Even Dean Elisha’s cold glare hadn’t brought a reaction from me.I stare right in front of me and all I can think is that I failed wolfly.I missed my last chance.I ruined everything.Across the courtyard, Kael leans against the fountain. The moment he sees me, he straightens and releases a sign of relief as if he thought I won’t make it out alive. I look back at the closed door and it dawns on me that my fate is sealed. They saw me in person. They should know I'm human, so why didn’t they agree? Why didn’t they just send me home?

  • ARIA: The Rise Of The Half Wolf Phoenix    Chapter 93: how to survive an interrogation

    Aria’s povI hold my breath as I see Kael steps out of the inner room, my heart still shuddering painfully. What is he doing here?More panic crawls up my spine as I take him in, the stiff line of his shoulders, the way his hands curl and unclench like he is barely holding himself together. Have they already gotten to him? Do they know what he did for me? Do they know about the forest, about the night everything went wrong?Kael draws in a deep breath, slow and forced, like he is trying to anchor himself. He lifts his head and our eyes meet. His eyes goes fron gold back to normal, then back to gold.It flickers a bit before it finally returns to normal. The look on his face is wrong. I have never seen it before.Is it fear?Every supernatural is taught to fear the Council from the moment they can understand words. There are stories about the ever knowing, the ever watching council parents whisper to children to keep them obedient………The creatures that see everything, even the thought

  • ARIA: The Rise Of The Half Wolf Phoenix    Chapter 92: show us your secrets

    Kael's povCouncillor Thallia, the witch, smiles at my outburst. It’s the kind of smile meant to demean lesser beings and Ghost doesn't like it.Ghost bristles immediately, a low warning rumble curling through my spine, but I force him to stay still. Calm is survival in rooms like this and I don’t plan to provoke creatures who can erase my bloodline with a thought.Thallia closes the thick file in front of her with flourish and places her elbows on the stone table as she leans forward, her fingers tucked beneath her jaw.“I’m curious about you, Mr Blackthorn.”“What about?” I ask after a beat.She tilts her head, studying me. “You have been the perfect student since your first year. Rose through the ranks almost immediately and demonstrated exceptional control over your…….other self. No disciplinary marks and maintained impeccable grades throughout.”Of course……This is where Ghost and I excel. Showing perfection and clean records to prevent anyone from seeing just how depraved he real

  • ARIA: The Rise Of The Half Wolf Phoenix    Chapter 91: The questioning

    Kael’s povI watch Aria walk out of the cafeteria and I don’t follow her right away.Every instinct in me screams to go after her, to pull her back, to put my body between her and everybody in this cursed place but I didn’t. I wait a bit until her footsteps disappear down the hall before I head out myself turning towards the administration building. He told her to run from us Ghost growls.Hmmmm I answer quietly.We should kill himI roll my eyes as I walk. Adrian will die soon enough, but not today. Definitely not now. I’m about to be questioned by the council, committing a murder few minutes before that would be idiotic, even by Ghost’s standards.We will deal with him when it’s timeGhost didn't argue.Adrian is the last thing on my mind. What bothers me is how calm Ghost is.We followed Aria from her block to the cafeteria and we heard everything Adrian told her. Every warning, every insinuation and every lie that came out from his lips wrapped in concern. Normal Ghost would have

    Aria's pov“Do you ever feel like the world just hates us?” Isla mutters beside me as we run down the long corridor, clutching our potion textbooks to our chests.“Yes. Every single day,” I breathe out, almost tripping over my shoe. I’m so uncomfortable because my uniform is still damp from the hu

    Aria's pov“Aria!”I ignore Kael and didn’t stop as I strut through the academy’s streets. I must look ridiculous in the oversize school's tracksuit the infirmary gave me but I kept my head down and kept walking. Whenever I manage to look up, I see stares, growls from higher ranks, like there is a

Her head falls back, her lips pale, her eyes rolling in and out of focus. The sound that comes out of her throat is not a scream anym
