Lucian’s POVThe human girl, they call her Lyra, is now sitting beside me in the dimly lit classroom. I had tried to object, to move away or protest, but I knew Professor Judith would quickly call my dad or, worse, my mom—both known for their strict discipline and no-nonsense attitudes. That sounded like something a pup would say, not an alpha heir. But deep down, I understood my parents would see this as a sign of weakness—my backing down from a challenge or threat—they would see it as a failure. That alone would warrant severe punishment.She did her best to sit as far away from me as possible, shifting slightly in her chair, her shoulders tense and stiff. Yet, that did nothing to mask or hide her scent! My nostrils flared as her aroma hit me—an intoxicating blend of freshly cut cedar wood and bright mandarins. Her fragrance was exotic; each scent shone distinctly on its own but blended seamlessly, creating a complex mosaic of aromas that teased my senses.Glancing at her from the c
Lyra’s POV We sped through the snow-covered common areas, racing to building 101, where our first block class, Diplomacy, was held. We passed other students, their low growls threatening us at every turn. I guess all the others, along with the heirs, hated humans as much as we hated them. Opening the door to building 101, it went from a rustic brick vibe to something Rowan and I had never seen before. Room after room, we passed, looking for room 152, which was equipped with state-of-the-art technology. Computers, projectors, screens, LED lights, and so much more that I couldn't process in the short amount of time I had to glance at them. Finally finding room 152, we were both out of breath. Looking at the clock on the wall, we had one minute to spare. “Thank God,” I muttered, trying to catch my breath. Looking at Rowan, I nodded and opened the door. The room was filled with chatter and students moving back and forth, but when they saw us at the entrance, we were greeted wit
Lyra’s POV "Good morning, students! Wake up and get energized! Today begins an exciting new chapter! Let’s start with some lively music to kick off the day!" I sprang out of bed, clutching the dagger hidden beneath my pillow, my senses sharp for any threats. "What the hell is that noise?” I muttered, furrowing my brow as I tried to pinpoint the sound. It was coming from somewhere on the ceiling, like an intercom of some sort. Well, that's weird as fuck. Rowan crashed into my room, dagger in hand, his blue jeans slipping off his hips, looking like some kind of assassin in shining armor to save the day. Rushing over to me, he grabs my face, looking me over for any kind of injury. Swatting him away, I laughed, “My knight in shining armor.” “Ly, this is serious. I was genuinely concerned,” he said, giving me those irresistible puppy dog eyes. “Just stop. I need to get dressed, and we have class in 45 minutes. Plus, we still need to eat," I replied. “I'll make us som
Lyra’s POV I quietly slipped out of the bed, my senses alert as I observed that Rowan was taking his time. I swear, he could be more prissy than a woman. But then again, what I had said to him earlier, especially after us having sex, might have gotten him in his feelings more than he let on. Without bothering to knock, I pushed open the heavy, polished door of the bathroom and walked in like I owned the place. It was a luxurious retreat: double marble sinks gleaming under optimal lighting, a neatly organized towel closet with plush linen towels meticulously folded in perfect rows, and an enormous mirror spanning from wall to wall, reflecting every detail of the room. The shower was stunning, with intricate mosaic tiles that shimmered with subtle color and pattern variations, catching the eye. The hot water from the showerhead surged forth, filling the room with thick steam and making the entire bathroom feel like a personal sauna. I looked around, I knew for a fact that if I were t
Lyra’s POV His mouth crushed fiercely on mine, possessive and intense. His hands slid deliberately down my sides, one cupping my right breast as he moaned softly through the kiss, “It's too many clothes." Without hesitation, he tore my shirt clean in half. Breaking the kiss, I stared at him, looking directly in his green eyes, “I liked that shirt!” “I'll get you a new one!” Shoving me back down, his lips again met mine. His rough fingers scraping my skin under my navel, frantically undoing the ties of my pants. Moaning from the friction of his erection grinding against my clit, I take one of my free hands helping him pull them off. I needed him. All of him. He rose from me, yanking his navy colored boxers off. My breath hitched. He was gorgeous. Claw marks and blade slices marred his smooth olive skin. Every single inch of him was muscle, even though he was lean; his body still showed the lines of his abs. Slowly lowering my eyes, I reached my hand out, tracing t
Lyra’s POV My fingers gently traced the lamented itinerary pressed against my hand. The glint of the plastic catches the fluorescent ceiling lights, listing the classes I’ll be attending this semester, arranged in a four-block system: Leadership Classes - Senior Block 1: Diplomacy - 8:30 AM Block 2: Tactics - 10:30 AM Lunch - 12:30 PM Block 3: History - 1:00 PM Block 4: Physical Training - 3:00 PM End of School - 4:30 PM *You may bring your unfinished lunch trays to your third block class. *Physical training class is your shortest period; please make sure to bring appropriate gear. *A nurse will be on standby for severe injuries. It was almost laughable that they offered a Diplomacy class when their understanding was so rooted in bloodshed and conflict. The Tactics class, however, I could exploit to my advantage—using it to penetrate their minds, understand their strategies in detail, and then turn their own plans against them—slamming the dagger in and twisting it deep.
