Sa Club Elysium, hindi uso ang pangalan. Dito, bawat tao ay may lihim na ayaw nilang aminin… at isa ako sa nagtatago ng lihim na ‘yon. Ang tawag nila sa akin ay Muse. Habang sumasayaw ako sa ilalim ng mga ilaw, ramdam ko ang init ng spotlight na parang apoy sa balat ko. Lahat ng mga mata nakatutok, lahat ng hininga humahabol sa bawat galaw ko. Pero ako, kalmado lang. Sanay na ako sa ganitong eksena… hanggang sa may mapansin ako. Isang lalaki sa VIP area. Tahimik. Matikas. Naka-suit. Hindi kagaya ng mga madalas kong nakikita dito. May hawak siyang baso ng whiskey at ang mga mata niya, diretso sa akin. Hindi bastos. Pero matalim. Parang may hinahanap. Pagkatapos ng sayaw, nagpalakpakan ang crowd. Yumuko ako nang bahagya bilang pasasalamat. Dali-dali akong tumalikod papunta sa backstage. Pagkapasok ko, naroon siya… ang lalaki mula sa VIP. “You dance beautifully,” sabi niya, diretso ang tingin sa akin. “Salamat,” sagot ko, walang ngiti. “Pero bawal pumasok dito. Private area ‘to.” “I know,” sagot niya, mahinahon. “I just wanted to talk to you.” Bahagya siyang ngumiti. “Muse, ‘di ba? That’s what they call you?” “Mm. And that’s what you’ll call me too,” sagot ko. “I don’t give strangers real names.” “Fair enough,” sagot niya. “Then you can call me Damian.” “Damian…” pag-uulit ko, “malakas ang dating ng pangalan mo, ah. Parang may kasamang panganib.” “Smart answer.” Sagot niya. Sandaling nagtagal ang aming mga titig. Sa ilalim ng mga ilaw sa backstage, ramdam ko ang kakaibang tensyon… parang apoy na tahimik pero mainit. Pagkatapos ng ilang sandali, bahagya siyang umatras at tumingin sa relo niya. “I should go,” sabi niya, mahinahon. “But this won’t be the last time we see each other, Muse.” Tumingin lang ako sa kanya, at tumango. Ngumiti siya nang marahan, bago tuluyang lumakad papalabas ng backstage. Ang amoy ng cologne niya ay naiwan sa loob. Pagkatapos no’n, tumunog ang cellphone ko. May mensahe mula sa boyfriend ko: “Hey love! Saan ka na? Can’t wait to see you later!” Napangiti ako, bahagyang nahihiya sa sarili. Nag-type ako ng maikling sagot, pero sa likod ng isip ko, naaalala ko pa rin ang mga titig ni Damian.. Later That Night. Pagkatapos ng ilang set, habang nag-aayos na ako pauwi, lumapit ang manager. “Muse, may request sa VIP room,” sabi niya. “Ngayon pa?” tanong ko, kunot-noo. “Akala ko tapos na ‘ko.” “Special guest daw. Gusto kang makausap.” Hindi na bago ang ganitong request, pero may kung anong kakaiba sa tono niya. Habang naglalakad ako papunta sa VIP area, ramdam ko ang kaba sa dibdib ko…. hindi ko alam kung bakit. Pagbukas ng pinto, bumungad siya… si Damian. Nasa gitna ng silid, nakaupo sa leather couch. “Muse,” sabi niya, mabagal, mababa ang boses. “I was hoping you’d come.” “Eh… ikaw pala ‘yung special guest,” sagot ko, pilit na kalmado kahit ang tibok ng puso ko ay bumibilis. Tumayo siya mula sa pagkakaupo at lumapit ng bahagya. Ang ilaw sa VIP room ay madilim, at sa bawat hakbang niya ay parang humihina ang ingay ng paligid. “Sit with me,” sabi niya. Naupo ako, pero hindi pa man ako nakaka-relax, nagsalita siya ulit. “Dance for me.” Napatingin ako sa kanya, bahagyang nagulat. “What?” Ngumiti siya, ‘yung tipong mahina pero may bigat. “You dance for everyone out there,” sabay turo sa direksyon ng stage, “but I want to see how you move when no one’s watching.” Natigilan ako. Hindi ito part ng trabaho ko… pero may kung anong tono sa boses niya na hindi nakaka-insulto, kundi… nakakaintriga. “I don’t usually take private requests,” sabi ko, nakataas ang kilay. “Then make this an exception,” mahinang sagot niya. “Just this once.” Tahimik ang paligid. Ang tanging maririnig ay ang mahinang tugtog mula sa labas, at ang tibok ng puso ko. Bago ko pa mapigilan ang sarili, tumayo ako… dahan-dahan. Tinitigan ko siya habang humahakbang, at sa bawat galaw ko, nararamdaman ko ang tingin niyang sumusunod. Hindi ito kagaya ng sayaw sa stage… walang ilaw, walang crowd. Kaming dalawa lang, at ang hangin sa pagitan namin na parang nag-aapoy. Si Damian ay tahimik lang, nakasandal, pero ramdam ko ang intensity ng bawat titig niya. Parang bawat galaw ko ay binabasa niya, bawat hinga sinusundan. Pagkatapos ng ilang sandali, huminto ako. Hindi ko alam kung ilang minuto ang lumipas, pero pakiramdam ko ay matagal. “Beautiful,” bulong niya. Ngumiti lang ako, hindi sumagot. Tahimik pa rin sa paligid pagkatapos ng sayaw. Si Damian ay nakaupo lang, bahagyang nakasandal, habang ako naman ay dahan-dahang huminto sa gitna ng silid. Ramdam ko pa rin ang tibok ng puso ko… hindi dahil sa pagod, kundi dahil sa paraan ng pagtingin niya. Hindi siya agad nagsalita. Tila pinag-iisipan pa niya kung ano ang susunod na gagawin. Maya-maya, may kinuha siya sa bulsa ng kanyang coat at naglabas ng isang sobre at isang calling card. Maingat niya itong inilapag sa lamesa sa pagitan namin. “For when you decide to step out of the lights,” sabi niya, mababa ang boses. “You might need this.” Tumingin ako sa kanya, naguguluhan. “What is this supposed to mean?” Ngumiti siya, pero walang sagot. Ang mga mata niya ay malamig at matalim, pero may halong pag-aalok na parang hindi ko kayang basahin. “Keep it,” dagdag niya. “You never know when you’ll want a different kind of stage.” Hindi ko alam kung insulto ba iyon o alok ng pagkakataon. Ang boses niya ay walang bahid ng pangungumbinsi. Tahimik akong tumango, hindi alam kung dapat bang tanggihan o tanggapin. Sa huli Kinuha ko pa rin ito. Bago ako tuluyang makalabas, narinig ko ang boses niya… mahina, halos pabulong. “We always meet again, Muse. It’s only a matter of time.” Paglabas ko sa VIP room, ramdam ko pa rin ang bigat ng presensya niya. Hindi ko alam kung anong klaseng laro ang sinimulan niya, pero isang bagay ang malinaw… hindi iyon ang huling beses na.maririnig ko ang pangalan niya.Rowyn POV Kalyx started moving then, in long, punishing thrusts that shook the bed, his hips snapping against mine with wet, obscene sounds that filled the room. Every plunge dragged against my walls, hitting that spot over and over until I was babbling nonsense, my nails raking down his back.Zephyr leaned in, his mouth latching onto my breast again, sucking hard while his fingers found my clit, rubbing in tight circles that made stars explode behind my eyelids. “You’re doing so fucking good,” he whispered, his voice a lifeline amid the storm. “Taking him like a champ. Look at how you’re creaming all over his cock dripping down his balls. Such a good girl for us. Let it build again. We want another one. Milk him dry.”Kalyx’s pace turned feral, his hand wrapping around my throat, not squeezing, just holding, a reminder of who had me pinned and claimed. “That’s it, flame. Scream for me. Tell me how much you love my cock splitting you open. Beg for it harder.”“Harder...please, fuck
Rowyn POVWe were walking to dinner when it hit me, that prickling sensation between my shoulder blades like I was being watched. I turned my head slightly and caught movement in the shadows near the south arch.Kalyx’s growl was instant. “That’s Thornhall.”My stomach twisted.“Of course it is,” I muttered, keeping my voice low. “Fucking creeper. He always stares like he's picturing me on a platter.”Aster shuddered. “He gives me fungus vibes. Like mildewy laundry and bad intentions.”Zephyr cracked his knuckles. “He keeps looking at you like that and I’ll introduce him to the sharp end of a storm spear.”We pushed through the dining hall doors, the warm glow of faelights and the smell of roasted meats wrapping around us like a shield. I tried to shake off the weirdness. Not tonight, creepy man. Tonight, I just wanted food and a little peace.We piled our plates sky-high, took over our usual corner table, and smashed that food like it owed us money. Kyren and Aster eventually dipped
Aster Aurellan POVMy comm crystal buzzed mid brushstroke. I blinked, frowning as I tucked it against my ear, still clutching my makeup brush in the other hand. “Mother?”Her voice was sharp, and sweetened at the edges like poisoned honey. “Darling. How are you?”Oh gods. That tone. I froze. “I’m… fine. Why?”“No reason,” she cooed. “Just curious how school’s treating you. Settling in well?”I narrowed my eyes. “It’s been intense, but manageable.”“And your… roommate? Friends?” she asked too casually.The brush slipped from my fingers and clattered to the counter.“Are you friends with a girl named Rowyn Vale?”There it was.I swallowed. “Why?”“Just curiosity,” she lied. Badly. “We hear things, you know, through work. And someone like that, well, you know how the noble houses worry about influence. Especially low borns. It’s important to keep an eye on… people.”My blood ran cold.“Your work,” I said slowly, my heart pounding. “You mean your position on the culture council… or someth
Headmaster Nocturne POVThe note appeared with a soft fwoomp, delivered by Vaerion’s ancient magic, right onto my desk like it owned the damn place.I glanced at the parchment, already sensing the familiar pulse of old god magic woven through its fibers. My eyes skimmed the names.Storin. Glorin. Kiana. Flan.Guardians awakened. The castle was arming itself like a sleeping beast stirred.A low chuckle escaped me as I picked up the glowing ruby and slipped it into the pocket of my robes.“Well, Vaerion,” I murmured to the empty room, “I’d say you’re feeling dramatic today.”I stood and turned toward the covered mirror in the corner of my office, the one I only uncovered when things got particularly serious.Today counted.I yanked the black silk off.“Let the ash speak.”The surface rippled, starlight flickering across the glass, and then a hooded figure appeared. Tharion Duskveil. The Ash. The dead, but not dead living legend.He arched a brow. “What now, Malric?”I lifted the note, w
