Johnson’s POV

The damn phone wouldn’t stop ringing.

Three missed calls.

Then four.

I checked the screen again. “Wife” blinked like a warning flare.

Something was wrong.

I was off-duty, perched on the edge of my bunk at the barracks. Half in uniform, laces undone, sweat clinging to my neck like a second skin.

I’d stayed late to catch up on reports, but now my gut twisted tight, a knot of instinct and dread.

Whatever she wanted, I told myself, it could wait till later or so, I thought.

But something about the urgency in her repeated calls… the kind of panic that bleeds through even in silence… made me reach for my car keys and head straight home.

I drove like a possessed man.

Every red light bled into my headlights. Every bump in the road rattled against my chest like a war drum.

By the time I got home, the sky had folded into night, thick and heavy. The porch light flickered like it couldn’t decide whether to stay on or give up.

8:54 PM. Too late.

I unlocked the door, my boots still lac

    Diana’s POVThe dorm hallway still trembled with the echoes of Kael’s roar. The stones seemed to hold their breath, dust drifting down in thin streams from the ceiling. My ears rang, my chest ached, and my palms wouldn’t stop shaking.Eva clutched my arm, her knuckles bloodless. “Diana, listen to me! George, Kael’s assistant, once gave me his card. If anyone can calm him, it’s him. I’ll call him now.”Her urgency beat against the fog in my skull, but my head felt stuffed with cotton. Kael’s golden, feral eyes still burned behind my lids. The chaos. The blood. The screams, they clawed at me, dragging me back into the nightmare.Eva could call whoever she wanted, but I knew one truth: I had to go down there and stop Kael.Before I could speak, my phone buzzed in my pocket. I fumbled it out, the screen a weak glow against the too-bright hallway lights.Di.My breath caught. My twin sister.I answered in a whisper. “Di? Now is not the…”“Shut up and listen,” she hissed. Her voice was shar

    Diana’s POVThough Lucien had already been flung to the ground, panic still carved into every line of his face. His face twisted in horror, a wet gagging sound tearing from his throat. His fingers clawed at his own neck, raking his skin as though invisible hands were crushing his windpipe. “Stop it!” The scream ripped from me before I could think.I lunged forward, grabbing his arms, but some unseen force hurled me back. My body slammed against the wall, stone biting into my shoulder, pain sparking down my arm like fire.The air vibrated, heavy and electric, pressing against my lungs until my teeth ached. A metallic tang flooded my mouth. Blood.Then it came.A growl, low and thunderous, rolled across the courtyard. The students closest to us froze, their whispers shattering into silence. Every head turned.Kael stepped through them.He moved like a storm given flesh; wild, unstoppable and alive. His glacier-blue eyes had liquefied into molten gold, burning with a fury that blistered

    Sovereign’s POVThe morning opened on a knife-edge. A cold unease slid beneath my ribs before the sun had fully climbed the sky.I yanked open the shutters and let the pale light spill across shelves bowed with books, jars of crushed herbs, and relics filched from older ages. Dust motes swarmed in the beam like mocking spirits. My fingertips brushed familiar spines; leather warm with years, until they hit empty air.The leather-bound volume with its cracked spine should have been there. Instead the space gaped at me like a missing tooth.“No.” The word left me in pieces as I flipped volumes aside, pages whispering under my hands. My skin prickled; the air tasted faintly of iron and old paper. Panic was a bitter thing on my tongue, but I swallowed it. That book was not mere parchment and ink, it was the tether between mortality and the endlessness I craved. My late wife had given it to me before she died; without it, longevity was smoke, and the revenge I’d sworn for her would be stole

    Diana’s POVEva flopped belly-first onto my bed; her hair fanned around her like a messy halo. I sat cross-legged at the mattress edge, fingertips warm from the blanket. For the first time in what felt like ages, laughter rolled through my room, shaking the air, shoving away the heaviness that had clung to us for weeks.“Oh, Goddess,” I wheezed between giggles, pressing my palm to my stomach until the laughter settled into a shaky smile. “You should’ve seen your face when you shoved Lucien, I thought he’d swallow his own tongue.”Eva slapped the blanket, nearly cackling. “You’re one to talk! Diana, you deserve an award for acting. Your eyes, your voice… you had Lucien so convinced he didn’t even glance at me twice. He was too busy drinking you in.”I bit my lip, grinning despite myself. The image of Lucien’s bewildered stare in the school garden flashed through my mind. “You think so? I felt like my hands were shaking the whole time.”“No, babe. You were flawless… the way you held you

    Lucien’s POVThe corridors of Ashmoor Academy tasted of chalk dust and quickened breaths. The sharp tang of pencil shavings undercut by a steady hum of nerves. Sneakers squeaked against waxed linoleum, and the murmur of frantic memorization slithered through the air. Exams. Students scurried like ants toward the examination halls, clutching their notes as though their lives depended on them.Mine? My life depended on none of this.I wasn’t here to pass biology or calculus. I was here for one reason only: Diana.The so-called fragile girl with secrets stitched beneath her skin. The girl the Sovereign whispered about. The girl I had orders to shadow.Yet fate, ever the mocking jester, had pulled its cruelest trick. Because instead of a ruthless assassin for a mate, the kind of woman who would slit throats at my side and laugh with blood on her hands, the Moon Goddess had tied me to Eva.Eva.She painted her lips crimson every morning, giggled too loudly, and burned with obsession for Di

    Kael’s POVA razor of antiseptic hit me the moment I pushed through the hospital’s glass doors, it was a clean, clinical air that tasted like bleach and fear. It clung to my jacket, bitter and metallic, nicking at every breath until my throat felt raw.I hated hospitals. Always had. They reeked of endings, of weakness, of time’s theft from even the strongest men.But I forced myself forward, boots striking the polished tile with sharp, deliberate echoes. Nurses glanced up, then leaned toward each other in hushed murmurs; their gossip prickled against my back, but I kept my face carved from stone. They knew who I was. Of course they did… the rich heir of the Draven family.At the corridor’s end, my father’s door stood half-open, a pale rectangle of light pouring from inside like a stage lamp. I froze, palm inches from the handle, chest tightening with grief braided with anger. Then I shoved it open.The sight hollowed me out.Draven, the mountain of a man whose voice once made enemies
