SORAYA

Dear reader, Fenrir Academy held secrets and vermin I had come to realise—one of which was far worse than the other. It was up to us to find the most evil.

I might have unknowingly predicted a long night, but I was just not ready for how long the night would actually be.

At first, I couldn't sleep. It was probably the creepiness of the house, or maybe just the obvious reason on the left wing. I didn’t trust the prince. What if he stabbed me to death in my sleep? Because of my uneasiness,

    SORAYADear reader, Fenrir Academy held secrets and vermin I had come to realise—one of which was far worse than the other. It was up to us to find the most evil.I might have unknowingly predicted a long night, but I was just not ready for how long the night would actually be.At first, I couldn't sleep. It was probably the creepiness of the house, or maybe just the obvious reason on the left wing. I didn’t trust the prince. What if he stabbed me to death in my sleep? Because of my uneasiness, I found myself making it to the living room, counting my steps gingerly."Do you really think you can sneak into my room and take my life?"I startled, almost slipping to the floor at the sight of Prince Daryl sitting on one of the sofas that graced the space. "Excuse me?" I blinked, suddenly smoothing my hair after having recovered from the surprise."Is that not why you're sneaking around?" Daryl stated, still leaning on the chair with his eyes closed like he had no care in the world. But I

  • Bound by the Moon   10: We are murder suspects

    SORAYA"The girl died?""Unfortunately."I wasn't ready for Adele's talks, so my replies were static and emotionless. A lot was going on in my head. Different questions with absolutely no answer.The biggest one was the fact that the girl's body had been just like the person who had attacked Daryl. Lifeless and drained of blood.I was on my way to look for the prince in question when I was ambushed by Elle Farrow."The principal wants to see you," Elle said, disdain dropping from her voice."Why?""How would I know?"I met Daryl already seated, and Ethan Farrow stood behind him, his facial expression giving away nothing. I took my seat when the principal, Sir Owen, motioned for me to do so. Sir Owen gave a small smile as I did that, and then leaned forward."I am very sure you have heard of the tragedy, if not witnessed it yourselves, and this is why I called you here. Every finger points to who murdered dear Annie's life, points back to you, Soraya Karter."I blinked, clearly taken a

  • Bound by the Moon   09: Who is dead?

    SORAYAIt's been two weeks since I arrived at Fenrir, and I had nothing to show for it. I had learnt nothing about the Prince, perhaps except his infuriating smirk and intoxicating scent.When I woke up this morning, I was met with a distraught and it distracted me. First, I had woken up so late that I had to rush my bath in five minutes. Then I stumbled into my first class only to realize I still had a shower cap on."I am assuming you forgot that, it was on your head, Soraya Karter?" The class burst into a fit of laughter when the teacher said that."What?" I reached for the cap on my head with a frown as I made my way to my seat only to realize that Daryl and his sister were sitting on both sides of my seat while Dolly, Axel, and Adele sat just behind them. I groaned inwardly, wishing the ground would swallow me whole."Good morning, Soraya," Ilana beamed at me. I gave her a curt nod. "Did you drink? You look like you could use a hangover soup, Karter." I frowned at the Prince w

  • Bound by the Moon   08: Losing focus

    SORAYA"Oh, dear heavens! It is the crown Princess."I walked into the cafeteria along with Adele, who kept skipping around and jumping in excitement."I am trying to understand what you mean by it is the crown Princess, and why you are acting like you have won a lottery," I spat at my roommate with a frown."Come on, Soraya, must you always be so mean?" Adele whined."I am not mean, I am just being skeptical," I answered.Adele scoffed. "Whatever you say, you will not ruin my mood when the Princess is here."We found a table after getting our food and sat. The cafeteria was loud, with chatter and laughter filtering around. I took a bite from my food and looked back at Adele. "You said the Princess is here?" I questioned."Now you want to listen to why I am acting like I have won the lottery?""If you won't answer, then shut up, Adele," I said dryly."You see? Always so mean, but I will answer since it is my job to catch you in on the latest news in school." She paused for dramatic ef

  • Bound by the Moon   07: The princess is here

    DARYL“Who are rogues?”I puffed out a breath of frustration. I was not listening to the teacher at all. My concentration was on a certain hazel-eyed witch who was going about her day like nothing had happened. Her whole presence in Fenrir Academy was a lie. If I could just block out the feelings she stirred in me, then maybe I would be able to focus and find out who she was and why she was here in Fenrir. It was interesting at first, but now it was downright distracting.The attack. I could bet on the full moon that nobody was going to investigate the attack — not the school, not even Fenrir Pack’s Alpha. It was all left to me to figure out who was trying to kill me and why. In this kind of time, I suddenly wished I had Ilana with me. My sister always found answers even to the most difficult puzzles.“Are you worried? About who tried to kill you?” Axel must have noticed my absentmindedness, which was why he asked that question. Dolly looked sideways, her ears piquing in interest.“D

  • Bound by the Moon   06: Who tried to kill the prince?

    People tend to forget stories whenever they are desperate. It was why there was a dead body laying at the Prince’s feet when he woke that day. Someone had tried to kill him and had stupidly touched his hands, thereby leading to a disastrous death. Had they easily forgotten that the Alpha Prince’s touch was death?~Fenrir Academy News•SORAYA“Someone tried to kill the Prince!” Adele practically screamed as she barged into the room. Her high-pitched voice distracted me from the novel I had picked up from the library. My love for novels never dwindled.“You said?”“I said someone tried to kill Prince Daryl.”I was startled at Adele’s statement. I was right when I told the Prince that there were people in this school who wanted him dead. That was the thing about power — when you wielded it, you became a target for the ones who would do anything to claim it.“When did that happen?”“Today!”Adele reached for my hand and dragged me up. “People are still clustered around his room, come an
