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,

    Xavier’s POV “You shouldn’t have thrown her.” Blaze sounded irritated for what had to be the tenth time. I rolled my eyes. “I didn’t throw her. I moved her out of my chair.” “You dropped our girl on the floor,” He reminded me loudly. “Our girl?” I scoffed. “She’s a human.” “What if she’s hurt?” The question made me glance toward her. Angela was pushing herself up slowly, one hand braced against the floor while the other rubbed her shoulder. Did I actually hurt her? No. There was no way. Humans were fragile, though. Maybe I’d used more strength than I realized. “Go check on her,” Blaze insisted. I ignored him, but my eyes stayed on the tiny brunette. She wasn’t getting up nearly as fast as I expected. Every movement looked cautious, almost stiff. Was she really hurt? Before I could think about it any longer, her loudmouth friend spun around and glared at me. “You meanie.” I blinked my eyes rapidly. Meanie? Out of every insult she could’ve used, she picked meanie. She drama

  • Eclipse Academy   Sit Over There!

    Angela’s POV The loud sound of my alarm shattered the peaceful silence of my room. I groaned and blindly reached for my blanket, dragging it over my head as though an extra layer of fabric might magically silence the obnoxious noise. Unfortunately, it didn’t. The alarm continued screaming at me while I buried my face deeper into the pillow. Nope. I refused to acknowledge that morning existed. The bedroom door swung open, and I didn’t need to peek to know exactly who it was. Stephanie practically radiated sunshine twenty-four hours a day. “Wakey wakey, eggs and bakey!” Her cheerful sing-song voice made me groan even louder. The mattress dipped as she climbed onto the edge of the bed, and a second later my blanket began sliding away from my face. “Come on, Ang,” she coaxed, tugging harder. “We’re going to be late.” With every ounce of determination I possessed, I yanked the blanket back over my head. “I’m going to be late,” I mumbled from beneath the covers. “You can go.” For a m

    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

  • Eclipse Academy   Almost A Match

    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
