For few seconds, Marianne saw Julianne as a different person and not the same person she knew before. Something has changed in her and it was evident with the way she somehow convinced her to ask Maximus about Cassian’s past, knowing fully well that if she were to ask Cassian directly, she wouldn’t get it from him.

“What did Maximus say?” Julianne asked as her eyes searched her face as if looking for the very answer.

Marianne swallowed and lowered her eyes, hesitant to reveal it. She doesn’t kn

  • Ashes and Bloodlines    The darkness awakens

    The room started to become suffocating. Julianne remained motionless with her eyes still fixed on the book that turned out to be headmistress Eldryn’s personal journal. “You are the last Ashblood.” Remus words kept repeating in her head.Was that really what she was?Maximus’ gaze lingered on the journal before he finally let out a sigh. “There has to be more. The ending doesn’t feel complete.”“That’s because the headmistress decided to take it to her grave,” Cassian said. He sounded even more angry than he looks.Maximus took the book and opened it in front of him. He went over the last page and read the last line again. Then suddenly, his brows drew together.“Wait…”“What is it?” Remus asked.Cassian looked at him.Maximus lifted the journal closer and ran his thumb along the edge of the page. “This…” his expression hardened. “A page has been torn out.” “What?” Remus pulled his brows and leaned closer as Maximus carefully spread the journal open.The page had indeed been torn ve

  • Ashes and Bloodlines    The last Ashblood

    “She was the real monster. I met her again, but this time, she wasn’t as old as the last. How did I know she was the one? The pattern was just the same as the last, but this time, something seemed to have changed. The mark on her skin…it burned me the moment I tried to touch her. She was lethal. And she was slowly poisoning the others. No matter how many times I tried to stop her, she came back again. Not twice, not thrice…I couldn’t understand it. How can there be many like her? Then for the first time after the second and third, I manipulated an incubi into seeing through her mind, and all I got were more questions.‘From the Ashes, we will rise again’.It all started to make sense after so many years. I realized I could be the key to ending this curse, but I hesitated. I’m only human after all. It was the only thing that kept me sane because I knew I hadn’t lost my humanity. I only wanted to get rid of the bloodline, not the ones who were affected.I realized if there were none a

  • Ashes and Bloodlines    Where the curse started

    “Where are we going?” Lena asked once they left the dorm.“The computer lab,” Julianne answered. Lena pulled her brows slightly, not quite understanding why they have to go there. She asked, “Do you have someone outside you want to talk to?”“Not anymore.”Her response came so easily and Lena decided not to ask any further.They broke into the lab and Julianne went to a computer, already turning it on. Lena watched out for any intruder and soon came to check what she was doing.“Is there any way to get all the students email?” Julianne asked her.Lena pulled her brows. “What are you trying to do?” she asked.“War is imminent. I’m going to extend the break so the other students won’t get dragged into it.”Lena was surprised at such a brilliant idea. She hadn’t given any thoughts about those that went home not until Julianne mentioned it.“The headmistress’ account,” she quickly said. “How do we get that?”Lena smiled and moved closer before tapping on the keyboard. “Luckily, I know o

  • Ashes and Bloodlines    Hunters are coming

    “I can’t get angry even if I want to. Everything seems so unfair to me, and all I can do is nothing.”Julianne sounded so depressed. The skin on her forehead pulled as she stood and she gave her one last look before turning her feet toward the door.“It wasn’t me,” Velvet spoke before she would leave. “I didn’t do it, Julianne. You have to believe me. These prints…”Julianne stopped, and Cassian paid more attention to what she was about to say. He knows she isn’t the one, even though the evidence points to her as she is the only owner of the print.Velvet sighed and said, “It’s how I communicate with the other hunters. It’s my lead in the forest and their lead to me. I know I’ve done some bad things and I regret it too, but your mother, Marianne…and Fiona…it wasn’t me who killed them.”Julianne turned to look at her and didn’t seem to believe her. “It has been hard for me too, you know? Being born into a cult family like that where all they do is hunt down those that are slightly dif

  • Ashes and Bloodlines    Wrath of Ashblood

    Velvet knew that Cassian doesn’t joke with his words, and that he meant it when he said he had no use of her. But even if that was true, she couldn’t let them return her to the hunters, not because of what she fears they might do to her, but because she fears what they were plotting.“You can’t do that,” she finally said with a slight plea. “Then watch me,” Cassian threatened further and started to head toward the door.She started to panic inside and before things would get out of hand, she moved her eyes to Julianne who started walking toward her. Then she started to apologize.“I’m really sorry, Julianne, for everything, and about Mari—Ah!”Cassian halted once his hand moved to the door handle and he turned. His brows pulled slightly when he realized what had just happened.Julianne was already consumed by rage and before Velvet would finish speaking, she landed a hard blow across her face.Velvet tasted blood and she felt a hard sting on her face. She moved her head and looked at

  • Ashes and Bloodlines    The face of betrayal

    Julianne woke up with a start. Her chest heaved up and down and sweat broke out on her forehead. She wiped it off and breathed slowly, regulating her heart’s pace, before moving her eyes to the space next to her.She moved her hand over the sheet and noticed it was cold. How long has he been up? She thought.Her ears soon picked up some voices and she turned her gaze toward the door. She left the bed and walked toward it. When she opened it, her eyes fell first on Cassian, and next to him was Maximus. She could tell from how he spoke that there was a serious matter on ground. “Is something wrong?” she asked, causing them to turn to her at the same time.Both of them said nothing and just stared at her, making her look confused, until she saw Cassian’s jaw tighten. It immediately dawned on her that she was still in his shirt, and her thighs were very bare.She returned to the room without another word and shut the door immediately before scolding herself. The door opened again and s

  • Ashes and Bloodlines    Freshman party

    Once classes ended on Friday morning, Julianne hurried to the dorm to pick out the dress she would wear for the freshman party that would take place by evening. Like Marianne said, she didn’t want to miss out on anything ‘fun’ so she wouldn’t be the one to regret it later. She emptied her wardrobe

  • Ashes and Bloodlines    Stealing glances

    Julianne looked at Cassian after handing the piece of paper to him. She had thought about it several times, but there was no other person she could think of giving than him.“Can you help me?” she asked.Cassian flipped the paper to the back and squinted his eyes a bit. “The handwriting should fish

  • Ashes and Bloodlines    They are coming

    Julianne stared down, deep in her own thoughts with her legs crossed on Marianne’s bed. She recalled the earlier encounter at the boy’s dormitory and she felt a cold chill run through her, causing goosebumps on her skin.At least she had thought Cassian was still somewhere close to good, because th

  • Ashes and Bloodlines    The antidote to poison

    “From the moment you came, something shifted and it is only the beings who lurks in the dark that knows. For some, it could mean danger for them. For another, it could mean another thing entirely. I also saw you as a threat and even now, a sleeping threat, until I find out exactly what you are. I h
