Sera's shield caught the first bullet, but the impact staggered her. Elara fired again, and again, systematically and precisely. Each shot weakened Sera's defenses, driving her backward.

"Stop!" Sera shouted. "Elara, please—"

"Don't." Elara's voice was emotionless. "Don't try to reason with me. Don't try to understand. Just accept that this is happening."

"Why? We trusted you!"

"That was your mistake. Trust is weakness." Elara circled, looking for an angle to bypass the shield. "My mate trusted

  • BLOOD BOUND   WINTER BREAK

    Aurora came home for winter break differently. She was taller, more self-assured, and exuded a sense of belonging. At the station, Sera felt the change instantly as she hugged her daughter."You've grown.""Three inches since September. Professor Ashwood says hybrid growth patterns are unpredictable. I might hit six feet by sixteen or stop growing next month.No one is aware.The streets were covered in snow as they drove home. Aurora talked about the tournament, her lessons, her classmates, and a particularly challenging project that required her to use three forms of magic simultaneously.She was animated, alive in ways Sera hadn't seen before Silverwood."You're happy there.""I am. Is that okay? I mean, you and Papa are missed, but—" It's perfectly fine. Eventually, you should discover your own world. I simply assumed that we would have more time than you did.At home, Lucien had decorated excessively. Presents piled ridiculously high, a tree that almost reached the ceiling, and l

  • BLOOD BOUND   LEARNING CURVES

    Aurora's first month at Silverwood was the hardest educational experience of her life. And she loved it.Combat training pushed her to integrate her powers in real-time. Theory classes explained the why behind magical integration—how different types of magic interacted, competed, or complemented each other. History lessons covered other exceptional individuals throughout time and what had happened to them."Most died young," Professor Ashwood stated in a straightforward manner. died from exhaustion, were killed by people who feared them, or lost their minds due to uncontrollable power. Three things are necessary for exceptional power to survive: purpose, community, and control.We provide the first two. The third, you must discover for yourself."Aurora's control was her weakest area. She had power to spare but lacked the precision these students had developed. She could throw enormous magical force, but struggled with delicate work."You're like a sledgehammer," Zara observed. "Reall

    It took three hours to drive to Silverwood Academy. Aurora watched the scenery shift from city to woodland while she sat in the back seat, leaning against the window. With their branches creating a canopy that filtered sunlight into golden bits, ancient trees crowded the road. It's lovely, she remarked softly. "It's safe," Lucien clarified."For centuries, people have been spelling these words. The academy is only accessible to those who have been invited. The others simply keep driving in circles until they give up. I will therefore be safe there." We can make you as safe as possible.Squeezing her daughter's hand, Sera extended her arm. But keep in mind that safe does not equate to simple. Each of these children is unique in their own way. You'll face difficulties. Excellent. I'm sick of keeping things to myself.Suddenly, the academy was there, as though the forest had just parted to make room for it. A huge Gothic building with towering windows and black stone, encircled by garden

  • BLOOD BOUND   THE SCHOOL INCIDENT

    The backlash was immediate and fierce. Parents demanded that Aurora be removed from school. Politicians called for regulations on the use of hybrid magic. Anti-integration activists held rallies: "See? This is what happens when you mix species. Children with power they can't control, danger to everyone."Sera and Lucien were summoned to multiple meetings. School administration, Fourth Species council, vampire nobility, witch elders—everyone had opinions about Aurora."She needs to be restrained," one vampire noble insisted."Spelled chains, power dampeners, something to keep her from being able to do things." Lucien said, "She's eight years old," in a scary voice. "You're saying we should magically hurt my daughter because she stood up for someone who was being bullied?""We want to protect the community from power that isn't controlled."Sophie's council quickly rushed to Aurora's aid. This is exactly the kind of discrimination we've been working against. You want to bind up a Fourth

  • BLOOD BOUND   AURORA'S VOICE

    When Aurora reached eight, she was faced with new difficulties. Her hybrid magic was developing rapidly; it was more powerful than her parents had thought and more erratic than any trainer could control. The principal claimed that she had once again set the classroom drapes on fire. "This month, for the third time. Although it is risky, the other kids find it amusing." "Control is something we are working on," Lucien stated defiantly. I am aware. However, Aurora's power surpasses typical hybrid levels. We are unable to give her the specialised instruction she requires.To help Aurora with control, they employed private tutors who were both witches and vampires. However, conventional methods did not affect her powers. It was particularly hybrid, necessitating hither to untested methods. During one session, Margot noticed, "She's making new kinds of magic." Not witch or vampire magic, but truly hybrid methods. Evolution is happening right now.Aurora was capable of things that neithe

  • BLOOD BOUND   UNEXPECTED ALLIES

    The break helped. Sera returned to work with clearer boundaries and a sharper perspective. Instead of insisting on handling conflicts herself, she began to delegate and trusted younger mediators. Although difficult, it was essential.Additionally, it made room for the unexpected: Dietrich made contact.The erstwhile conspirator had been quietly working on advocacy and rehabilitation. He was now seventy years old, which is still relatively young in vampire terms. However, he had a plan that needed Sera's help."For people like me, I want to start a support group," he said when they first met at a café. Former extremists, conspirators, and others who were against peace but later altered their minds. Despite our existence, we are invisible. Feeling ashamed. I believe we could support one another.Sera studied him. Dietrich looked healthier than in prison, but carried the weight of his past in every movement. "What would this group do?""Share stories. Process guilt. Learn to live with ha
