Elara POV

Kael had gone to get lunch for both of us.

Apparently, the tray he'd picked up was empty, so he insisted on joining the queue again.

“Don't disappear,” he'd told me before walking away.

“As if I have somewhere else to be,” I'd laughed.

Now I sat alone, absentmindedly tracing circles on the wooden table with my fingertip while waiting for him to return.

The cafeteria remained just as lively as ever.

Conversations bounced from one table to another.

    Elara POVKael had gone to get lunch for both of us.Apparently, the tray he'd picked up was empty, so he insisted on joining the queue again.“Don't disappear,” he'd told me before walking away.“As if I have somewhere else to be,” I'd laughed.Now I sat alone, absentmindedly tracing circles on the wooden table with my fingertip while waiting for him to return.The cafeteria remained just as lively as ever.Conversations bounced from one table to another.Someone burst into loud laughter near the vending machines.A group from the engineering department were arguing over whose project deserved the highest grade.Another table had somehow started singing.Normal academy chaos.I rested my chin on my palm.Then...I felt it again.That strange feeling.The unmistakable sensation of being watched.Slowly, I lifted my head.And there he was.Cassian.Standing only a few steps away.His gaze met mine the moment I looked up.Just like always.For a second, neither of us looked away.Withou

    Elara POVAn hour later, I finally left the field.That was enough humiliation for one day.There was no way I was staying behind while Kael replayed my spectacular failure to every single person willing to listen.“What the fuck...” I muttered under my breath, laughing despite myself.I could already imagine him telling the story weeks from now.“Remember when Elara got into a wrestling match with a cargo net?”Or….“Remember when she became one with the mud?”Moon Goddess...I was never going to hear the end of it.Shaking my head with another quiet laugh, I made my way toward the girls' locker room before stepping into the shower area.The moment the warm water cascaded over my body, every sore muscle immediately thanked me.“Oh...”A soft breath escaped my lips.The heat melted away the stiffness in my shoulders, washing streaks of dried mud down the drain. Brown water pooled around my feet before disappearing, taking every trace of the obstacle course with it.I closed my eyes.T

    Elara POVBy the time I stepped onto the academy field, almost everyone had already gathered.Students from different departments clustered together in small groups, some stretching, some complaining dramatically about having to exercise, while others looked far too excited for what was clearly going to be several hours of torture disguised as "physical education."The morning sun hung high above us, warm without being unbearable. A light breeze swept across the enormous training grounds, carrying the scent of fresh grass and damp earth."This weather is lying," someone muttered behind me. "It looks peaceful now, but Coach is about to make us regret being born."A few students burst into laughter.I couldn't help smiling.Maybe today wouldn't be so bad after all.I spotted Kael immediately.He was sitting cross-legged on the grass, lazily spinning a whistle he'd somehow stolen from somewhere.The moment he noticed me, his entire face lit up."There she is!" he called, waving both hand

    Elara POVEver since I made the decision to accept life for what it was...Things had become easier.Not perfect.Just...Quieter.Instead of waiting for Joe every morning, I decided to drive myself to school today.The drive gave me time to think.Or rather...Time not to think.The radio played softly in the background, the cool morning breeze slipped in through the slightly opened window, and for once, my mind wasn't busy replaying memories from the hotel or wondering where Ryder was.For the first time since I returned to Aurelian Academy...I was actually having a good day.A genuinely good one.Classes flowed smoothly.I answered questions without second-guessing myself.Even the advanced calculus lecture, which would've normally had me questioning my life choices, somehow made sense today.My professors weren't repeating themselves because I was finally paying attention.No random daydreaming.No staring out the window.No zoning out halfway through equations.Just...Learning

  • Doomed desires with my alpha stepfather   Working on new routine

    Ryder POVThe car rolled through the mansion gates before coming to a smooth stop beneath the front entrance.I stayed seated for a moment, my hand resting on the steering wheel.The silence inside the car was different from the silence back at the warehouse.There, silence carried fear.Here...It carried peace.Or at least, something close to it.One of the things I hated most in this world was betrayal.It didn't matter who it came from.Friend.Employee.Warrior.Family.Once trust was broken, there was rarely anything worth saving.Failure could be fixed.Disloyalty couldn't.The bastard back at the warehouse had made his choice long before tonight. Tonight was simply the night he paid for it.I had no reason to stay.Cassian would handle the rest.He always did.For all the trouble that man enjoyed causing, he was frighteningly efficient when work needed to be done. He talked too much, joked too much, smiled too much...But when it came to loyalty, there wasn't a soul I'd trust

  • Doomed desires with my alpha stepfather   The man he is

    Elara POVThe night was slowly drawing to a close.I pushed myself away from the poolside chair, abandoning the idea of sitting there any longer. For a moment, I'd considered dipping my feet into the water, maybe even taking a late-night swim just to clear my head.But I wasn't in the mood anymore.With a quiet sigh, I turned and walked back toward the mansion.The house was still buzzing with life.Staff moved through the hallways carrying boxes, flower samples, and stacks of papers while decorators discussed measurements for the engagement ceremony. Everyone seemed busy except me.I slipped into the kitchen, grabbed a small plate of fruit, a few crackers, and a bottle of water before quietly making my way upstairs.The cold marble beneath my bare feet sent a pleasant chill through my body.I smiled to myself.For some reason, I'd always loved the feeling.It was oddly comforting.As I reached the second floor, voices drifted from the room directly across the hallway.Mom.And Ryder.
