🖱️Sammy🖱️

The academy library was unusually quiet that afternoon, which honestly made it one of the few places left in this entire school where someone could actually think without fifty people whispering your name like you were some walking scandal.

Jayden sat across from me at one of the long wooden tables near the tall windows, his books spread out in front of him even though I was pretty sure he had been staring at the same page for the last ten minutes without actually reading anything.

  • Caught in Between Lust and Desires   Author note

    Well… we did it. It ended on a cliffhanger, but we did it regardless. After months of heartbreak, suspense, and rivalry, they finally got married. There will be a sequel for this story based on Victor, Jayden, and Sammy. It’s going to be a short story, about 50 to 70 chapters, but that will come right after Alexandra’s story, which has already started. Thank you for going on this journey with me for four months… y’all really stayed for four whole months, and that’s insane. I truly appreciate every single one of you, your comments, your support, I love all of it. And lastly, I have one favor to ask. Go back to the main book’s details and leave a 5 ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ review.

    🖱️Jayden🖱️“You are my everything, Jayden,” Sammy’s voice cracked as he stood there, eyes glistening under the soft sunlight filtering through the cathedral windows. His hands shook just slightly as he held mine, but there was no hesitation in his gaze, only a depth of love that made my chest ache. “From the first moment I saw you, I knew my world had changed. I knew that no matter what storms came, no matter how far the darkness reached, I would never stop fighting for you, for us. You are my fire, my peace, and my home, and today I vow to love you endlessly, to protect you fiercely, and to never let you face the world alone, even when it tries to break you. I promise to carry your heart with mine, to lift you when you fall, and to always be the voice that reminds you how remarkable, how breathtaking, and how fiercely loved you are.”His words hit me like a tidal wave. I felt my throat tighten, my eyes burn, and I could barely catch my breath. I had imagined this day a thousand t

    🖱️Jayden🖱️“You look beyond beautiful, Jane,” I said as I stood by the doorway watching my best friend stare at herself in the mirror, adjusting the edge of her wedding veil like she was inspecting a masterpiece.Jane slowly turned her head toward me, a confident smile already forming on her face.“I know,” she said proudly. “I’m the most beautiful girl of all time.”I let out a small laugh and shook my head, walking further into the room while looking at her from head to toe. The dress really was perfect. Soft white silk flowed down her body and tiny crystals caught the sunlight pouring through the window, making her look like she was glowing.“But are you certain that you really want to get married to River?” I asked with a teasing smile. “I mean I could still get you a better man if you want. I’m a king, Jane. I have options.”Jane gasped dramatically and placed a hand over her chest like I had just deeply offended her.“A better man?” she repeated slowly. “Jayden, please. River

    🖱️Jayden🖱️The first rays of sunlight filtered through the curtains, making the whole palace shimmer in gold, and I couldn’t help but smile even though the morning air still carried a little weight of last year’s grief. It had been a full year since Victor’s passing, and some days it felt like yesterday, like his laugh could echo in the halls any moment, and some days it felt like a lifetime, like the world had shifted and we were just trying to catch up. But today wasn’t about grief it was about celebration.The Festival of Light had been announced months ago, a festival where every kingdom, every supernatural race, and every magical citizen would gather to celebrate the balance we’d fought so hard to preserve. And I, along with Sammy, would be at the heart of it, not as scared kids anymore, but as rulers who had survived, who had loved, and who had carried a fallen king’s legacy forward.I stretched and felt Sammy’s warmth beside me. He was still half-asleep, curls messy, and yet

    🖱️Sammy🖱️I still can’t believe he was truly gone even after one full year of his death, and the fact that I’m now king and done with college while Jayden is still in school, mostly home-schooled, is something I’m still adjusting to. Some days it hits me like a punch in the chest, that Victor isn’t going to walk into the room with that smug smile of his, teasing both of us, or reminding me that I still can’t beat him at chess no matter how many times I try. And yet, here we are, running the entire supernatural world together, carrying his memory like a torch that never dims, making sure his sacrifice wasn’t wasted.Jayden’s been incredible through all of it, though, showing a strength I never knew he had. Every time we meet with rulers from different kingdoms, I can see him learning, observing, adapting, and somehow managing to stay compassionate while wielding a power most people couldn’t even dream of controlling. The way he talks to them, the way he listens to the citizens, it’

    🖱️Jayden🖱️ “Do you want me around, or should I come over with your dada?” The voice on the phone was calm, familiar, and strong, and I could feel the weight of concern in every word. I wiped the fresh tears from my cheeks, trying to straighten my back, trying to pull myself together. I forced a smile even though it felt fragile, shaky at best. “Papa… I’m supposed to rule a world. I have to be a man… a boy who still needs his papa and dada can’t rule,” I said, my voice carrying the conflict I felt inside. There was a pause on the other side, and then his warm, steady voice cut through the fog of my grief. “And who said that, son? My son is a very strong man. He can do anything he sets his mind to. You think ruling is just sitting on a throne? No, son. It’s being patient. It’s knowing when to speak and when to listen. It’s understanding your people, even when your heart aches for someone you’ve lost. You are strong, Jayden. Don’t let grief make you forget that.” I swallowed hard, t

    🖱️Sammy🖱️ The last thing I remember is fire. Not the normal kind or flames you can see or touch. This was inside me. Everywhere at once. Like my bones were on fire. Like my blood was boiling and screaming and trying to escape my body. The pain from rejecting my mate did not feel like heartbreak.

    🖱️Victor🖱️I literally slept on a burning bed last night.That is not a metaphor. That is not drama. My entire bed was on fire. Blue fire. Thick sheets. Mattress. Pillows. Everything glowing like it belonged in hell or some twisted dream, yet none of it turned to ash. No smoke. No damage. Just fi

    🖱️Jayden🖱️ Alexandra walked straight to Papa. Did not look at Dada. Did not look at me. Did not look at Grandma Hale or anyone else in the room. She went straight into Papa’s arms like muscle memory had kicked in. “I missed you,” she muttered into his chest, her voice low and tight like she ha

    🖱️Jayden🖱️“I want to homeschool for the next semester.”The words fall out of my mouth calmly, like I am asking for extra rice or saying I will be late for dinner. But the reaction they get is immediate and dramatic, because of course it is.Papa’s spoon freezes halfway to his mouth. Dada’s spoo
