"Okay but hypothetically," Lyra said, dangling upside down off the end of my bed with her cotton-candy hair pooling on the floor, "if you had to kiss one of your roommates, and you legally could not say none of them, who would it be."
"I'm not answering that."
"It's hypothetical."

I Rejected My Mate… and Ended Up His Roommate Chapter 11
''Calla's POV''The dream started the way all truly terrible ideas did — quietly, and with really good lighting.One moment I was asleep, genuinely and mercifully unconscious for the first time in four nights, and the next I was standing in a moonlit clearing that smelled like pine and something older, something that lived in the back of my memory next to things I was trying to forget. The grass under my bare feet was cool and too vivid, the way things are in dreams when your brain is making an effort. The moon above was the specific shade of silver that meant my wolf was involved.I looked down at myself. Sleep shirt — the oversized grey one with the fraying hem that I'd owned since I was sixteen. No shoes. Hair loose.I looked around the clearing. Trees at the edges, mist at the ground, the specific cinematic quality of a setting that had been designed by something with a flair for the dramatic."Absolutely not," I said to no one."That's what I said," Luca said from behind me. "Abo

''Theo's POV''"You seem calm," the Council leader said."I am calm," Theo said."For someone whose suite is at the center of a murder investigation.""I find panic rarely improves a situation."Seris — three hundred years old, vampire, the kind of stillness that came from having outlived most things worth being agitated about — looked at him across the table with eyes the color of old amber and said nothing for a moment. Theo had been on the receiving end of a lot of loaded silences in his life. He was comfortable here."You were acquainted with Professor Darius Vale," Seris said. Not a question."We spoke a few times. He taught Dark Rituals. I'm enrolled in Dark Rituals.""You were seen in the restricted archives twice in the past week.""I'm interested in bond theory. The restricted section has the most complete texts on the subject." Theo folded his hands on the table. "I can provide a reading list if that would help."Seris studied him with the particular attention of someone dec

Calla's POV"Okay but hypothetically," Lyra said, dangling upside down off the end of my bed with her cotton-candy hair pooling on the floor, "if you had to kiss one of your roommates, and you legally could not say none of them, who would it be.""I'm not answering that.""It's hypothetical.""It's a trap.""It's a thought experiment." She swung her legs. "Jax is objectively beautiful. Theo has that whole dark and mysterious thing happening. And Luca—" she paused with the dramatic timing of someone who had been practicing this conversation, "—is your rejected mate who almost kissed you in the kitchen three days ago."I threw a pillow at her. She caught it without sitting up, which was annoying. "I hate you," I said."You literally do not." She righted herself and dropped the pillow back. "Come on. I've been very patient. You'v

Luca's POVThe first thing Luca Vale did on his first day at Ravenbane Academy was choose a seat in Transformation class with the precise, calculated casualness of a man who had absolutely not spent four minutes in the doorway identifying exactly which chair gave him an unobstructed sightline to the back of Calla Thorne's head.Two rows back. Slightly left of center. Perfect.He sat down, opened his notebook, and told himself this was strategic. Knowing where she was meant knowing what she was doing meant staying one step ahead. It was basic threat assessment. It had nothing to do with the way she'd tucked her grey-black hair over one shoulder when she sat down, or the fact that she'd immediately started reading the course syllabus while everyone else was still finding seats, or that she'd already underlined three things with a pen she'd produced from somewhere in her sleeve like a particularly well-organized witch.
I Rejected My Mate… and Ended Up His Roommate Chapter 7
Calla's POVThe problem with rejecting your fated mate and then being legally forced to live twelve feet away from him was that my wolf had absolutely zero chill about it.Zero. None. Not even a little bit.She'd been pacing in my chest since I'd turned off the light, circling and whining like a dog who'd spotted a squirrel through a window she couldn't open. Every time Luca shifted in the room next to mine — rolled over, sat up, exhaled too loudly — I felt it. Not the bond, exactly. More like the scar where it used to be, twitching with phantom sensation. A radio stuck between stations, playing static and something almost-beautiful in equal measure.By one-thirty AM I had rearranged my pillow four times, counted the cracks in the ceiling, and mentally rewritten every interaction I'd had that day in unflattering detail. By two AM I decided I either needed tea or a lobotomy, and tea was more accessible.I pulled on my hoodie over my nightdress and shuffled into the kitchen.I wasn't ex

Jax's POVSo apparently I had the self-preservation instincts of a golden retriever at a fireworks show, because the first thing I did the morning after nearly witnessing my roommate's almost-kiss was knock on her door at seven AM with a smile that could only be described as criminally optimistic."Coffee," I announced. "I know where they hide the good stuff."There was a long pause. Then: "Go away, Monroe.""I could do that," I said agreeably. "Or you could come with me and have the best espresso of your life. Your call."Another pause. I heard something shuffle. Then the door swung open and Calla stood there looking like she hadn't slept, her grey and black hair in a messy knot on top of her head, wearing an oversized hoodie that swallowed her whole. She squinted at me like I was a particularly inconvenient piece of furniture."How are you this annoyingly awake?" she demanded."Genetics," I said. "You coming or not?"She grabbed the hoodie strings and pulled them so the hood tighten
