Chapter 33: Devil Eyes Under the Stetson

Elara woke before dawn.

The suite was still dark—blackout curtains drawn tight, only the faint crimson glow from the sconces bleeding around the edges. She lay on her back, one arm thrown over her head, staring at the ceiling beams. Sleep had been shallow, restless, filled with flashes of Nico’s face—flat eyes, scarred knuckles, the way he’d kissed her back like he was daring the world to take it away.

She rolled onto her side.

Picked up her phone.

  • BludHeaven Academy    Court of Shadows

    Chapter 116: Court of ShadowsWord had reached King Alucard before the campus rumors could finish shaping themselves into folklore.That was how old power worked.It heard the true shape of an event long before the public managed to distort it into entertainment.So when Celeste was summoned to his castle to discuss the death of the Son of Ares, it carried the tone of formality rather than threat. Alucard still had a healthy respect for her, the kind that came from surviving long enough to understand exactly which battles were not worth pretending to win. He would not challenge her. He simply wanted the truth, spoken plainly, before rumor could dress it up in something uglier.Celeste accepted without hesitation.Remy went with her.The castle waited at the edge of the night like a wound that had learned to become architecture, all stone angles and dark windows and bloodline history older than most kingdoms. The ride there was quiet, the kind of quiet that didn’t need filling. Remy sa

  • BludHeaven Academy    The Shape of a Threat

    Chapter 115: The Shape of a ThreatThe next warning came before the next attack.That was what made it worse.By morning, the campus had gone from uneasy to actively watchful. Students were quieter in the halls, conversations broke off faster, and even the loudest people seemed to be speaking with one ear turned toward the shadows. Nico felt the shift everywhere. Elara did too. Liora’s gaze kept moving to doorways and windows. Ravenna looked like she wanted to start preemptively threatening the entire student body. Seraphina, as always, was already looking for the pattern beneath the noise.Nico hated the feeling most when he tried to ignore it.“You’re doing it again,” Elara said as they crossed the quad.He glanced at her. “Doing what?”“Carrying the whole day on your face.”Liora gave him a soft look. “You do that when you’re worried.”Ravenna huffed. “He does a lot of things when he’s worried.”“Name one,” Nico muttered.“Getting quieter, looking guilty for no reason, and pretend

  • BludHeaven Academy    Pressure Points

    Chapter 114: Pressure PointsThe trouble did not arrive all at once.It arrived in layers.First came the stares. Then the whispers. Then the messages sent from anonymous accounts, each one a little more reckless than the last, as if Jason’s absence had left a vacuum in the campus ecosystem and everyone with a grudge felt emboldened by it. Nico noticed the shift by midday. Elara noticed it before he did. Liora noticed it before either of them admitted it. Ravenna noticed everything and hated all of it.Seraphina, predictably, was already tracking patterns.“Three separate rumor clusters,” she said, looking down at her phone as they crossed the quad. “One centered on the marks, one centered on Celeste, and one centered on whether Jason’s death was ‘justified.’”Ravenna made a disgusted noise. “That last one is offensive.”“It’s also becoming more common,” Seraphina said.Nico’s jaw tightened. “So people are taking sides.”“Yes,” Elara said. “Which means someone is pushing them.”That

  • BludHeaven Academy    Fallout

    Chapter 113: FalloutBy the next morning, the academy had become a living rumor.No one was quite saying Jason’s name the same way anymore. Not after the corridor. Not after the blood-red silence that followed Celeste’s arrival. Not after the unmistakable fact that something had ended in a way no one could spin into a campus prank or a clever misunderstanding.People still whispered.They just did it more carefully.Nico felt it everywhere he went. In the hush that fell just a little too quickly when he entered a room. In the glances that snagged on the marks at his neck and then darted away. In the way students who had never spoken to him before now seemed to have urgent opinions about his life.He hated that part most.Not the attention itself.The way it tried to turn him into a story someone else could own.Elara noticed the shift before he said a word. She always did.“You’re thinking too loudly,” she said as they walked between buildings.Nico gave her a tired look. “That’s not

  • BludHeaven Academy    The Son of Ares

    Chapter 112: The Son of AresJason made one last mistake.Even after everything Celeste had done to him, even after the corridor had gone silent and every witness had gone rigid with the shock of what they’d seen, he still thought there was a path left that ended with him in control. Pride does that. It convinces a man that survival and victory are the same thing.He moved fast, too fast for anyone who expected him to be stupid enough to try again.A blade flashed from his sleeve.Celeste turned before the strike could land.Jason’s attack never reached its target.The corridor went still in the instant after, the kind of stillness that arrives only when a choice has been made and the universe is waiting to see who survives it. Jason’s expression shifted from confidence to disbelief to something far uglier when he realized Celeste had been watching him the whole time.“You really should have stopped,” she said.He lunged anyway.That was the end of it.Celeste struck with a force that

  • BludHeaven Academy    Ichor and Judgment

    Chapter 111: Ichor and Judgment Celeste arrived like a verdict. The Rift tore open above the courtyard with the soft, terrible sound of fabric splitting, and whatever phantom had been lingering there—an apparition half-formed from rumor and spite—collapsed into nothing at Remy’s passing, unraveling like bad stitching. Students on the quad froze, phones up, but the thing didn’t hold; it didn’t get the chance. Remy moved through the falling scraps of that false shape with efficient grace, and by the time Celeste stepped across the threshold the courtyard looked as if a storm had just passed through and left the air cleaner for it. She didn’t stay long in the open. Celeste closed the Rift behind her with a motion that made the remaining ripple of magic fold inward like a wound sutured from the inside, then walked straight for the hallway that cut through the academy’s heart. Word had a way of moving fast here—faster than any official channel—and by the time she reached the corridor

The burger at lunch had already sat like lead in his stomach. So he stayed in the dorm.Hair sti
