last update Terakhir Diperbarui: 2025-09-02 04:58:31

Damien’s POV – Midnight

The alley was slick with rain, the kind of place where secrets thrived. Damien pulled his hood up, hands in his pockets, his cigarette glowing faintly as he waited.

A man appeared from the shadows, face hidden under a cap. He handed Damien a flash drive in exchange for a roll of cash.

“Everything you asked for,” the man muttered. “School records, financial aid files, even her family history. She won’t see this coming.”

Damien rolled the drive between his fingers, a devil’s grin spreading across his face. “She doesn’t need to see it coming. She just needs to fall when I say so.”

The man hesitated. “What’s this girl to you?”

Damien’s eyes darkened, the smirk vanishing into something colder. “Mine. She just doesn’t know it yet.”

Lola’s POV – Morning

The sunlight streaming through the blinds felt intrusive, almost mocking. Lola groaned, burying her face in her pillow. Liv was already up, humming as she applied mascara in front of the mirror.

  • Dorm Room Secrets    Chapter 52 – Clash of Shadows and Flame

    The intruder’s shadows recoiled slightly at Killian’s arrival, as though even darkness recognized the danger standing in the doorway.Lola’s fire still burned at her fingertips, trembling with exhaustion, yet refusing to die down. She looked from the stranger to Killian, her heart racing, torn between terror and a strange, raw exhilaration.The man chuckled, the sound sharp as shattered glass. “So the wolf thinks he can protect her. Adorable.”Killian’s growl reverberated through the room, low and primal. “Leave, before I tear you apart.”The man tilted his head, considering, then drew the hood fully back. His face was pale, unnervingly smooth, but the veins crawling along his jaw pulsed black as if corruption itself had taken root beneath his skin. His eyes were a void, swallowing the faint light that dared touch them.“I didn’t come to fight you,” he said calmly, though his shadows writhed like restless serpents. “I came for her.”He pointed directly at Lola.Something inside Killia

  • Dorm Room Secrets    Chapter 51: The Weight of Secrets

    The dorm was too quiet.Lola sat at the edge of her bed, hands curled into the sheets, staring at the faint red glow still lingering in her skin. It had dulled to almost nothing, but her palms burned like she’d touched a live wire. She tried to breathe steadily, but every inhale rattled with the memory of Liv’s terrified eyes.She didn’t hear the door open.“Lola.”Her head snapped up. Liv stood there, her hoodie pulled tight around her frame, face pale but eyes locked on Lola with stubborn fire.“You can’t just brush this off,” Liv said, voice trembling but strong. She stepped inside, shutting the door firmly behind her. “I saw what I saw. I don’t care if you try to deny it or hide it you need to explain.”Lola’s stomach dropped.“I… I don’t know how to explain it,” she whispered.“That’s not good enough.” Liv’s arms folded tightly across her chest. “You had your hands were glowing. Like fire but not. Like… magic or something.” Her voice cracked on the last word, as though saying it

  • Dorm Room Secrets    Chapter 50: Shattered Night

    The claws came down.But at the very last second, Damien twisted, rolling with a surge of sheer desperation. The strike missed his chest by inches, tearing into the earth instead. The ground split open like paper, dust and stone flying into the air.Lola gasped in relief but it was short lived. Damien was slower now, blood pouring from his wounds. His body moved on instinct, not strength. Every breath looked like it hurt.The intruder laughed, the sound echoing through the courtyard. “You can dodge once, maybe twice. But you’re running out of time.” He kicked Damien hard in the ribs, sending him sprawling across the cracked pavement.“No…” Lola pressed her hand against the glass, trembling so hard she could barely stand. “Get up, Damien, please get up.”He struggled to his knees, gripping the hilt of his blade with shaking hands. For the first time, his eyes flicked up to hers. They glowed faintly, dimmer than before, but still steady. A silent message burned in them don’t give up on

  • Dorm Room Secrets    Chapter 49: The Knock at the Door

    The dorm room felt too small, the air too thin, as Lola watched Damien stalk toward the door like a predator circling prey. His shoulders were squared, his hand hovering just inches from the handle, but he didn’t open it.“Who is it?” Lola whispered, her voice barely a thread of sound.Damien didn’t answer. His jaw was tight, his eyes dark with calculation. Slowly, he raised a finger to his lips, signaling her to stay silent.Another knock. The same rhythm three sharp, two quick.Lola’s skin prickled with unease. “That pattern… what does it mean?” she finally asked, unable to bear the silence.Damien glanced over his shoulder at her. The look in his eyes made her stomach drop. “It’s a mark. A warning.”Before Lola could press further, a voice floated through the door. Low. Taunting. Male.“Thought you could hide forever, Damien? Even in a college dorm?”Her pulse jumped. Whoever was on the other side knew his name.Damien’s hand gripped the doorknob, knuckles white. “Lola, step back.

  • Dorm Room Secrets    Chapter 48: Morning Shadows

    The room was heavy with silence, the kind that lingered after the chaos of desire had burned itself out. Lola stirred against Damien’s chest, her lashes brushing his skin as her eyes fluttered open.For a second, she forgot everything where she was, who she was with, the consequences that waited outside this room. All she felt was the warmth of him, the steady rhythm of his heartbeat beneath her cheek, the weight of his arm draped protectively across her waist.It was dangerous, how safe she felt.She tilted her head slightly, studying his face in the dim light. Even asleep, Damien looked sharp, untouchable like a man built from steel and secrets. Yet here, with his lips parted and his brow relaxed, there was something human about him. Something that scared her more than his sharp edges ever had.Her fingers itched to trace his jawline, to memorize the shape of him. She stopped herself. If she started, she might never stop.Instead, she carefully shifted, trying to slip out of his hol

  • Dorm Room Secrets    Chapter 47: Tangled in the Aftermath

    The room smelled of heat and sweat, their mingled breaths still heavy in the air. The sheets clung to their damp skin, twisted and half kicked down the bed from the storm that had just consumed them.Lola lay sprawled across Damien’s chest, her cheek resting against the solid plane of muscle, her hair a dark halo sticking to his damp skin. His heart thundered beneath her ear, steady and strong, grounding her even as her body still hummed with the aftershocks of what they had just done.For a long moment, neither of them spoke. It was as if words would shatter the fragile peace that had settled over them.Then Damien’s hand moved. Slow. Gentle. His fingers traced the curve of her spine, lazy circles that made her shiver. He wasn’t the ruthless professor now. He wasn’t the man who kept his walls up and his emotions locked away. He was raw. Human. Hers.“You’re trembling,” he murmured against her hair, his voice lower, rougher than she’d ever heard it.“I’m fine,” she whispered, though h
