CHOSEN BY RUIN Illogical Cravings
My heart pounds as his eyes narrow at me. There’s anything but warmth in it. I wasn’t expecting to see warmth either.Black hair fall across his sweaty face. The wet blood staining his hands and glistening across his shirt isn’t helping with my fear either. For a moment, I ignore his scent and focus on him. He looks…like he needs help. He’s barely holding himself upright.“Whose blood is that?” The words leave my mouth before I feel ready, and my heart pounds harder in anticipation of his response.Without answering, without drifting his intimidating gaze from mine, he starts to climb the stairs faster. I rise to my feet totally, hoping tonight isn’t my last moment on earth.He stops in front of me, towering against my small frame, the scent of him mixing with sweat and blood- drifting to my nose. I lower my gaze. “What are you doing here?” He asks, his voice rougher than I’ve ever heard it.Pretending that his voice isn’t huskier, deeper than I remembered, and while totally ignorin
CHOSEN BY RUIN Behind His Door
It’s 9:26pm on the war clock.And Still…no sign of him.Since I departed from Alpha Soren this afternoon, I’ve done nothing else but wait for Xaden’s arrival. It’s been hours, but he isn’t here yet. No sound of keys, nor his footsteps, and sleep is already threatening to take me away.I would rather not sleep. I don’t plan for tonight to end without making progress, which is why I’m now heading out of my door.If I sleep off here at my room’s doorstep, he will meet me and react. That way, I wouldn’t miss his arrival.I peer down the long length of the staircase, desperately hoping for a sound. I only hear voices drifting faintly below. Frustration begin to crawl under my skin.I shut the door and slide down to sit right in front of it, pulling my knees slightly inward. Even though I’m wearing a big red sweatshirt and black joggers, I can still feel cold seeping through my body. I wrap my arms around me, keeping my gaze fixed on the staircase.I wonder if Darian would have heard about
CHOSEN BY RUIN Less Than Three Weeks
The moment the heavy doors of the assembly hall shut behind us, the muffled voices inside disappear.Silence swallows us whole.Alpha Soren doesn’t stop walking until we reach the eastern wing of the academy, where hardly anyone ever passes during lectures.A narrow stone bridge connecting two towering sections of Supraveil, suspended several floors above the academy grounds. Below, I can see students crossing courtyards lined with silver-leafed trees, while beyond them stretched training arenas, towering dormitories, and ancient buildings woven together with sleek glass walkways that reflect the afternoon sun.The breeze carries the scent of rain.It should have been calming.Instead, my anxiety grows.When he finally stops, he remains facing the endless view beyond the bridge.Then he speaks. "How far along are you?" I expected something related.I fold my arms. "Close."His head turns towards me. "How close?"I hold his gaze. “Seriously?” I can’t control my legs as they start paci
CHOSEN BY RUIN Feigning Grief
LILIANA"What is going on?"The question escapes me when Sloane didn’t bother to share why Luna Gwen called for me. Liam hadn’t bothered to ask questions. He had simply walked away.Sloane and I are currently standing outside the enormous assembly hall on the academy's first floor, where tall obsidian pillars stretch upward into a ceiling lost beneath floating chandeliers of pale blue crystal. The bronze doors before us are twice my height, engraved with wolves, ravens, dragons and symbols I still can't recognize.My pulse begins to pound."Sloane..."She finally turns toward me.Every trace of warmth has disappeared from her face.She looks...heartbroken."I'm so sorry, Hannah."It does nothing to reduce my fear. It only heightens it.My eyes search hers desperately. If she's still calling me Hannah, then at least she doesn't know.A tiny breath leaves my lungs.Maybe...Maybe Luna Gwen hasn't discovered my identity after all."Why are you sorry? Please, tell me…”She walks past me a
CHOSEN BY RUIN What Liam Knows
Liam takes two steps closer, onyx eyes pinning mine.The courtyard suddenly feels smaller.“Since you want specifics, here you go,” he pauses, then continues, “I want a book Xaden has. The Dragon Rider.”My brows knit together as I try to make sense of his words, then I scoff, folding my arms. “Then go ask him for it.” I totally don’t understand why he’s telling me he wants a book Xaden has.The corner of his mouth lifts, and then his tongue clicks softly against his teeth.“Xaden and I aren’t exactly friends,” he murmurs, lowering his voice as a group of students passes behind us. “And no one else knows the book is with him.”My spine stiffen. “What I asked is what your…condition for me is. Whatever this is…” I gesture between us. “…has nothing to do with Xaden.” My chest heaves. I hope it’s not what I’m thinking.“You’re going to get the book from him. For me.” he clarifies.And that’s it. What I feared was his point. For a moment, I go silent before I find my voice again. “Find a
CHOSEN BY RUIN I Want To Know
The Professor’s gaze flicks between me and Liam, and I can’t help but wait for the worst to come.Liam just implicated me. I would probably be banned from this class indefinitely.Professor Dean eventually speaks. Finally. “Dominion Liam, I know better than to allow you distract my class.” Then his gaze shifts to me. “You may take your seat. But you won’t be lucky if there’s a next time.”I stand there for a moment longer than necessary, my mind struggling to catch up.Did he just spare me because Liam asked? And he hadn’t even asked politely.“See you after class, Ann,” Liam says with a low voice, looking at me like there’s something really going on between us. I watch him walk away.“You want to remain standing?” The professor’s voice jolt me back from my dazed state.And I quickly rush down the curved steps of the lecture hall, aware of every pair of eyes tracking me.The classroom is built like an amphitheater—rows of dark wooden desks descending in layers toward the center where
