The black wave exploded toward Maeve with the force of a collapsing world.

Maeve barely had time to cross the shard in front of her before the shadows struck like a hurricane. The blast hurled her backward. Her shoulder slammed into the wall, pain blooming like fire up her arm. But she didn’t drop the shard. She couldn’t.

Cade was lying behind the reflection.

Unmoving.

Breathing — barely.

If she fell here, Cade would never rise again.

The reflection materialized through the smoke, each step slow, deliberate, mocking. Its feet didn’t touch the ground like a person. It hovered — drifting with the weightless grace of something that never belonged to the human world.

“You’re still alive,” it said, disappointed. “Annoying.”

Maeve forced herself upright. “You won’t take him.”

The reflection’s smile grew wider, stretching Cade’s features into something horrifying.

“But I already have.”

It blurred forward — a streak of darkness. Maeve dodged on instinct, rolling across the broken floor. The r

  • CHAOS COLLEGE    THE VIOLENCE CONFRONTATION (1)

    The moment the door slammed behind her, the air shifted.Too still.Too cold.Too wrong.She didn’t need to turn around to know she wasn’t alone anymore.“I was wondering when you’d finally stop running,” a voice murmured from the shadows.Her pulse snapped tight. She forced herself to inhale, to steady her shaking hands. She hated that he could smell fear. Hated that he had spent so long feeding on it.But she didn’t turn around.Not yet.“You followed me,” she said, keeping her tone level even though her throat threatened to close.“No,” he said softly. “I waited.”Her stomach dropped.That meant he knew.Everything.The file she found.The betrayal she uncovered.The truth she wasn’t supposed to see.He stepped forward, the dim light catching the sharp line of his jaw and the cruel smirk stretching across his mouth.“You weren’t supposed to look through that drawer,” he said. “And you definitely weren’t supposed to connect the dots.”“I didn’t connect anything,” she lied.He laughe

  • CHAOS COLLEGE    THE FRACTURED SOUL

    For a heartbeat, Maeve couldn’t breathe.The thing crawling out of the mirror wasn’t Cade.Not his essence.Not his fire.Not his stubborn, furious, beautiful humanity.This version stepped onto the void-floor with fluid, precise movements—like a puppet whose strings were pulled by something ancient. His smile stayed perfectly in place, unchanging, wrong.The reflection drifted beside him, pleased.“We built him from the pieces he hates the most,” it purred. “Obedience. Emptiness. Silence.”Mirror-Cade lifted his head, gold eyes muted, expression smooth and unnatural.“Maeve,” he said in a soft echo. “Come. With. Me.”Maeve’s skin crawled.“No,” she whispered. “You’re not him.”The reflection clucked its tongue.“He will be. Once the real one breaks.”Maeve’s stomach twisted.“Where is he?” she demanded. “Where’s the real Cade?”The reflection’s grin sharpened.“He’s in the heart of himself, girl. And he’s losing.”All around them, the mirrors flickered—each showing Cade in different

  • CHAOS COLLEGE    THE LABYRINTH OF HIM

    Cade’s eyes—one shimmering gold, the other drowning in ink—locked onto Maeve with a force that nearly buckled her knees.The dual voice echoed through the mirror-realm, warped and layered:“Maeve… choose.”His breath hitched, his body trembling as if two worlds were fighting inside him.Maeve didn’t move.Couldn’t.Her fingers tightened around the glowing shard until the heat burned her palm. She forced herself to breathe, even as the labyrinth around them shuddered like a living beast.“I’m not choosing,” she whispered, voice breaking but steady. “Not yet.”For a heartbeat, nothing happened.Then—Everything happened.The mirrors flared with blinding white light.The ground tremored.The air split with a sound like cracking bones.Cade inhaled sharply and staggered backward, hands flying to his head as if someone else had seized control of his skull.A dozen versions of his voice erupted from the mirrors at once:“NO—”“Don’t—”“Maeve—run—”“Choose—NOW—”The shadows inside every mirr

  • CHAOS COLLEGE    THE HALF TAKEN

    For a single, trembling heartbeat, Maeve couldn’t breathe.Cade — if it was Cade — stood before her, shoulders rising and falling with slow, controlled breaths. The shadows inside his skin pulsed like a second heartbeat, writhing under his veins, crawling toward his throat, curling behind his eyes.It was Cade.And it wasn’t.She could feel it instantly.Her Cade — the boy who had fought beside her, who had reached for her even while drowning in the void — was still in there.But something else had sunk its claws into him too.“Cade…” Maeve whispered, voice barely steady.He smiled — a smile that was almost his, but too calm, too perfect, too hollow.“Maeve,” he said softly. “You don’t have to be afraid.”That was how she knew.He had never told her not to be afraid.He always told her, “Be afraid — but fight anyway.”Her heart clenched.“What did you do?” she whispered. “What did the Entity do to you?”Cade blinked slowly. The shadows in his irises rippled like black oil.“It helped

  • CHAOS COLLEGE    TEMPTING THE ENEMY

    Cold.That was the first thing Alina felt as she surfaced from the darkness. Not the sharp bite of winter air, but something deeper—cold that crawled under her skin like a parasite, clinging, feeding.She tried to move.Chains rattled.Her eyes snapped open.A dim room. Stone walls sweating with damp. Shadows twisting like smoke. Her wrists were bound above her head with iron cuffs etched in markings she didn’t recognize.She wasn’t alone.“Relax,” a soft, feminine voice murmured. “Struggling only makes it tighter.”Alina blinked at the silhouette approaching—womanly, graceful, almost ethereal in the dim light. Long hair cascaded over her shoulders like spilled moonlight, and her eyes glowed silver with an unsettling calm.Livia Blackwood.Rhett’s sister.The name hit her like a slap.“You—” Alina choked. “You’re supposed to be dead.”Livia smiled, serene and sharp as a blade. “Most things you hear about me are only half true. Consider this an upgrade.”Her footsteps echoed softly as
