The next day,

Rina’s POV

The ceiling was the first thing I saw... the familiar, polished oak beams of the Ignis bungalow. My chest felt like it had been hollowed out and filled with jagged glass, every shallow breath sparking a dull, throbbing heat behind my ribs.

The taste of copper was still thick on my tongue, a grim reminder of the crimson I’d painted onto the library marble.

I forced myself upright, my vision swimming. I didn't reach for water; I reached for my wand.

I didn't have the lux

    Chapter 10 - The Sovereign of ShadowsMoments later,Darkwood Forest,The Duskbane Estate,The violet static of the teleportation spell hadn't even fully dissipated before I let out a scream of pure, unadulterated fury.I tore the heavy charcoal hood from my head, my fingers trembling with a rage that felt like liquid fire. I stormed through the ancient, gnarled trees of the Darkwood Forest, my boots crushing frost-covered leaves with a rhythmic, violent crunch."Three days!" I shrieked. My voice lashed against the silent, black trunks. "It took them three days to put on a show and burn a pile of trash in my name! Did you see Kael? He looked bored... like he was checking a chore off a list!"My heart hammered against my ribs, frantic and jagged. The funeral pyre was burned into my retinas - the fake silver banners, the forced silence, and Lyra... God, Lyra... dabbing at her face as if her makeup were more important than the soul they were supposedly mourning."They were laughing," I h

Emberlyn stood frozen, her small frame trembling as she clutched her stack of leather-bound grimoires to her chest. "I can’t do this," Emberlyn whispered, her eyes wide with mounting panic. "I’m a researcher, Lumira. I spend my life in the basement archives. I don't go to balls, and I certainly don't go with guys who treat me like a tactical shield.""You aren't a shield," I said, stepping into her personal space. I kept my voice low, a velvet lure designed to settle her nerves while tightening the trap. "You’re an asset. And assets get paid."Emberlyn shook her head, her copper curls bouncing frantically. "There’s no payment high enough. My thesis on 'Volatile Mana Stabilization' is due Monday. If I miss the distillation window tomorrow night because I’m wearing golden silk and pretending to enjo

    Moments later, RinaThe walk back to the dorms was a gauntlet of shadows and hushed whispers. My skin still hummed from Kaelen’s touch, a brand of cold fire that refused to fade. The air in the corridor felt stagnant, trapped between the ancient stones and the weight of the secrets we were all carrying back from the Refectory.Austin fell into step beside me, his boots clicking rhythmically against the stone. He looked restless, his jaw set in a line of mounting frustration that mirrored the storm brewing outside the academy walls."You’re really going with him?" Austin asked, his voice low and tight. "Kaelen isn't a protector, Mimi. He’s an opportunist. He’s using you to bait Jaxon"."I’m using him too," I replied, not breaking my stride. "It’s a fair trade. In this academia, leverage is the only currency that doesn't lose its value"."It's a dangerous game, Rina," Austin countered, his eyes scanning the flickering torchlight. "Kaelen doesn't do anything for free. What’s the price

    Moments later,The Refectory remained a vacuum of stunned silence as Kaelen steered me toward the high-tier tables. Every eye in the hall was a needle, pricking at the back of my neck, but I didn't give them the satisfaction of a flinch. I sat, the red silk of my uniform pooling around me like spilled blood. Kaelen slid into the chair beside me, his thigh brushing mine. He didn't pull away. Instead, he signaled a server with a flick of his wrist."The vintage Lunar-aged nectar," Kaelen commanded, his voice slicing through the thick atmosphere. "Two glasses. And the venison from the Forbidden Glades." "That’s reserved for the Pack officials," the server stammered, casting a terrified glance at the frozen Jaxon."I’m also royalty," Kaelen replied, his amber eyes sharpening into gold. "And the lady is hungry. Do I need to repeat myself?" The server fled. Across the hall, Jaxon remained standing, his knuckles white against the edge of his table. Selene was a ghost beside him, her s
