Xavier’s POV

The door to Suite 501 slammed behind me hard enough to rattle the picture frames hanging on the wall.

Good. Maybe if I made enough noise, I’d shake the image of one unbelievably irritating human out of my head.

I tossed my keycard onto the marble island in the kitchen, where it skidded across the surface before coming to a stop beside a bowl of fruit. Normally, I’d have cared enough to pick it up. Today? Not happening.

“This is your fault,” I muttered.

  • Eclipse Academy   Cursed? Royal? What?

    Xavier’s POV I went to my bedroom to forget. Forget her. Forget the silver shimmer behind her neck. Forget the ancient illustration buried inside a book that should have had absolutely nothing to do with an irritating human who somehow found a way to invade every thought I’d had since orientation. It wasn’t working. I lay across the bed with one arm behind my head, staring at the ceiling while the afternoon sunlight stretched across the room. I’d planned on taking a quick nap before dinner, hoping a little sleep would clear my head. Instead, every time I closed my eyes, I saw the same thing. A flash of silver. A mark. A page from an ancient journal. With an irritated groan, I sat up and swung my legs over the side of the bed. “So much for that.” Blaze’s quiet amusement rolled through my mind, though he wisely kept his comments to himself. I changed into a pair of athletic shorts, tugged on a fresh academy shirt, and slipped my shoes back on. Sitting around wasn’t accomplishing a

    Xavier’s POV The door to Suite 501 slammed behind me hard enough to rattle the picture frames hanging on the wall. Good. Maybe if I made enough noise, I’d shake the image of one unbelievably irritating human out of my head. I tossed my keycard onto the marble island in the kitchen, where it skidded across the surface before coming to a stop beside a bowl of fruit. Normally, I’d have cared enough to pick it up. Today? Not happening. “This is your fault,” I muttered. Blaze remained suspiciously silent. That alone should have warned me. I opened the refrigerator and stared inside without really seeing anything. Shelves lined with neatly prepared meals, fresh fruit, bottled drinks, and enough food to survive a small apocalypse greeted me, yet nothing looked remotely appetizing. All I could see was a pair of stubborn golden eyes glaring back at me. Mr. Lizard Boy. The name repeated in my head. My eye twitched. “She started it.” Blaze’s amused rumble echoed through my mind. “I didn

  • Eclipse Academy   The Human

    Angela’s POV The second Mr. Lizard Boy disappeared through the door, it slammed so hard the walls actually rattled. A heartbeat later, another door crashed shut somewhere next door. “What do you mean I couldn’t stay away?” Xavier’s muffled voice exploded through the shared wall. I froze. Stephanie froze too. Another frustrated shout followed, though the words blurred together this time, ending as abruptly as they’d begun. The suite fell quiet again, leaving only the faint hum of the air conditioner. I stared at the wall for a long moment before slowly turning toward Stephanie. “… Is he arguing with himself?” She pressed her lips together, fighting a losing battle against her laughter. Her shoulders shook before she finally gave in, leaning against the kitchen counter as a fit of giggles escaped. “I don’t think he’s used to someone refusing to back down,” she managed. I folded my arms across my chest, completely unimpressed. “That’s his problem.” The encounter replayed

  • Eclipse Academy   My Floor

    Xavier’s POV Oh, you’ve got to be kidding me. The nerve of that little brat. I shoved my hands into my pockets as I walked out of orientation, still replaying everything that had happened. She had grabbed her neck, stumbled out of the room, and vanished without another word. Please. I wasn’t buying it. There wasn’t be a chance she had actually been in pain. It had to be an act. A convenient excuse to skip the rest of orientation after making a scene in front of everyone. She wanted attention. Well, congratulations. She had certainly gotten mine. I shook my head with an irritated laugh. “Nice try, Princess.” The moment orientation ended, I headed straight for the elevators. Students crowded the hallways, dragging suitcases behind them while introducing themselves to complete strangers. None of it mattered. I had one goal in mind. Find my room. The elevator doors opened, and I stepped inside with a few other students. Thankfully, nobody was stupid enough to start a conversation. T

  • Eclipse Academy   Our Room

    Angela’s POV I stood there inside the tiny restroom stall with this equally tiny fae staring directly at me. Neither of us spoke for several seconds. Then her eyes suddenly widened. “Oh!” She slapped a hand against her forehead. “Where are my manners?” Before I could ask what she meant, she grabbed my hand and gently tugged me out of the stall. “There.” She smiled proudly. “Much better.” I glanced back at the stall in confusion. Stephanie dramatically wiped imaginary sweat from her forehead before pinching her nose shut. “Sheesh. I’m just glad nobody decided to take a poopsie in there.” She pulled the most ridiculous face I’d ever seen. For a second, I just stared at her. Then I burst out laughing. A real laugh. The kind that escaped before I could stop it. She pointed at me with a triumphant grin. “There it is.” “What is?” I asked in confusion. Not knowing what she was referring to or talking about. “Your smile,” she pointed to my face. I shook my head, still laughing. “Yo

  • Eclipse Academy   Are You Sure?

    Angela’s POV I rushed into the hallway with my hand clamped tightly around the back of my neck. I didn’t know what the hell was happening to me, but the pain was unbearable. It wasn’t like a headache or a pulled muscle. It felt deeper than that, almost as if something beneath my skin had suddenly come alive. Every pulse sent another sharp wave shooting through my neck, making it impossible to think. “What is wrong with me?” I whispered through gritted teeth. I lifted my head and frantically searched the hallway. Students walked in every direction, laughing and talking as though nothing had happened. No one seemed to notice the girl trying not to fall apart in the middle of the hall. Then I spotted the girls’ restroom across the hall. Thank God. I thought to myself. I hurried across the hall, shoved the door open, and rushed into the nearest stall. The lock clicked into place behind me. I dropped onto the closed toilet seat, leaned forward, and buried my face in my hands. My brea
