CASSIDAN

The world returned in fragments.

Light first—too bright, slicing through my eyelids. Then sound: the scratch of a chair leg, a voice cracking like thunder and honey all at once—Damon. Always Damon. He sounded strangled, raw with relief, like he’d been screaming without sound for days.

And then pain. The kind that doesn’t sit still but crawls across your body like fire ants. My ribs ached, my chest burned with every shallow breath, and something deep inside me still hummed with the echo of claws and steel.

But I was alive. Against every odd, against the taste of blood I swore was my last, I was still here.

I let my head roll to the side. Damon’s face came into focus first—eyes red-rimmed, his smile barely stitched together. He looked at me like he’d been drowning and I was the air.

“You look like shit,” I rasped. My voice sounded like gravel dragged across stone.

Damon laughed, but it cracked in the middle. He pressed his forehead against my shoulder like he needed proof I was

  • Finding their Luna at an all boys school   061

    KAELI couldn’t shake the image of him crumpling, couldn’t erase the sound of his body hitting the ground like his fire had finally gone out. Riven wasn’t supposed to break, not like that. He was supposed to fight until his lungs burned and his bones splintered, supposed to snarl back no matter how badly life tore at him. Watching him faint had gnawed at me in ways I couldn’t put words to, and the more I thought about it, the more it sank claws into my skull.I wanted to know who had done it. Who had slipped past our watch, past our instincts, and managed to sink their teeth into him without us noticing. Trouble had always clung to me like a shadow—blood, curses, whispered threats—they all followed in my wake. But this wasn’t about me, not this time. This was about him. And I wasn’t going to rest until I found out what game was being played and why he had become the board.The first piece slid into place almost by accident. Another student fell sick two days later, writhing with fever

    I carried him through the quiet halls, his weight light but unsettling in my arms, every step echoing with the rush of thoughts I couldn’t silence. Riven had collapsed, his pulse uneven, his skin clammy with a strain I couldn’t place. For someone so stubborn, so unyielding, it unnerved me to see him slack against me like that, and the fact that it had happened in front of us all only tightened the knot in my chest. He had always moved like fire contained in a human frame, sharp, quick, untouchable. To see that fire dim even for a second—it did something to me I didn’t want to name.When I pushed into our dorm, Cassidan and Kael looked up at once, both their expressions shifting as they saw the unconscious figure cradled against me. I set him down on one of the beds, my voice low but edged with the frustration I couldn’t hide.“He was attacked,” I said, scanning their faces for the same unease clawing at me. “I chased the bastard off but not before I got a strike in. He’s bleeding.”Ka

    RIVENI was halfway to the rack to return my sword when my chest tightened.It started as a flutter, like the brush of a moth’s wing. Then—pounding. My heartbeat kicked wild and uneven, each thud scraping against my ribs as though it wanted out. My hand twitched around the hilt, slick with sudden sweat.No. Not now.I straightened, forcing air into my lungs. But the ground tilted under me, tilting harder with each step. I turned—instinct, desperate for something steady—and my eyes locked with theirs.Cassidan, Kael, Damon. All three of them, watching me.I had no words, only the hammer of my pulse and the bitter taste in my mouth. The last thing I saw was Damon’s eyes—narrowing, storm-dark—before the world slid sideways and vanished.I woke to heat.Too much of it. Blankets tucked high, the faint glow of lamplight painting the walls. And voices.“…not normal. He pushed himself too far.” That was Damon—low, clipped, his temper coiled tight.“He’s alive,” Cassidan countered. “That’s wha

    RIVENIt should’ve felt unbearable, being in the same room with the three of them. Cassidan’s eyes sharp even through the fog of his recovery, Kael’s silent storm brewing in the corner, Damon’s quiet protectiveness wrapping the air tight. But it didn’t. It felt—good. Dangerous, but good.Like standing on the edge of a blade and realizing part of you wants to see if you’ll bleed.I leaned against the frame, arms crossed, my face schooled into boredom. Inside, my pulse thrummed, steady and treacherous. The room was too full of them, their presence crowding mine, suffocating if I thought too long on it. And yet—I missed it when I’d been avoiding them. The tension. The constant push-and-pull. The way even their silence carried weight.Cassidan’s stare landed on me and held. His near-death hadn’t dulled it. If anything, it was worse now, like he saw through me. My skin prickled as if he could peel the disguise from my bones. I kept my chin tilted high, daring him to speak it aloud, to tell

    RIVENThe moment Damon heard “he’s awake,” he didn’t hesitate—he was already sprinting down the corridor, his long legs carrying him faster than either Kael or I could keep up.Kael cursed under his breath but followed without looking back. And me? I wasn’t sure why my body moved at all. My heart was thundering in my chest, pounding so loud it drowned out the pounding of our feet. Cassidan was awake. Cassidan—the one I had seen pale, bleeding, broken on the ground. The one I thought might never open his eyes again.The corridors blurred around me. Every step felt like I was running not just toward him, but toward the collapse of the lie I’d built brick by brick since the moment I stepped into this cursed academy.What if he remembered something? What if he recognized me—not as Riven, but as Elara? What if his deliriums had showed him something no one else could see about me?Damon shoved open the infirmary doors so hard they slammed against the walls. The sharp crack made me flinch.I
