“Lieutenant Lasha!” I said, excitement spilling into my voice as I walked toward her and saluted with my fist pressed to my forehead.

“You’re not an official cadet yet, Jade,” Lasha chuckled. Her smile faded as she added in a hushed tone, “Weren’t you warned not to carelessly reveal the symbol on your palm?”

I froze, immediately tucking my hand behind me, making a tight fist. “I . . . I’m sorry. I’ll be more careful.”

“Good,” she said firmly. “Now leave. He’s in an important meeting.”

“I just need Blooby, please,” I pleaded.

“We don’t do that here, Jade,” Lasha snapped, her eyes narrowing. “When given an instruction, you obey. Got it?”

“I understand,” I mumbled, my voice heavy with defeat. “I’ll just take—”

The heavy doors behind her creaked open, interrupting me mid-sentence. Lasha quickly straightened, moving to stand beside the guards, her posture rigid. She nodded toward me, and I scrambled to mimic her, saluting toward the figure emerging from the chamber. I could’ve sworn I hear

  • Jade: The Hybrid Mage   Chapter 71: Secrets and Temptations

    I thought it’d end with the passionate kiss, then a quiet cuddle through the night.But no.I turned my back, but the sounds still reached me.Soft gasps.Shifting cloth.The wet, messy noises of mouths colliding.Nyomei and Orin were lost in their own desperate little world, clinging to each other like the forest itself was trying to rip them apart.I wasn’t sure if it made me want to laugh, cry, or throw a stone at them.Probably all three.Across the clearing, Brand hadn’t moved. He sat with his arms folded, his face carved from stone. Watching . . . Not watching . . . Still pretending.I sighed and shifted closer to the stone wall, trying to find a comfortable spot in the damp moss.“Just sleep,” I muttered to myself. “Ignore it. Ignore everything.”Before I could fully settle, something unexpected happened.Brand moved.He nudged his knee toward me. Then shifted again, like he was offering—Was he . . .?I stared at him.He didn’t look at me. Just kept that flat, unreadable gaze

  • Jade: The Hybrid Mage   Chapter 70: Starved Monsters

    We moved through the thinning trees in silence, the kind that settles when fear lingers just behind your ribs. No one said a word. Everyone was shaken. Raw. But we were alive. That counted for something.The dense branches gave way to a wide clearing, and there it was—a black lake stretching out before us, its surface still as death. Not a ripple. Not a sound. It reflected nothing, not even the fractured sky above.Lotanni stepped forward."Wait," I said quickly, grabbing her arm.Something moved.The surface rippled. A sleek tendril rose from the water, tasting the air. Then another. And another. Long. Wet. Coiling like a snake with no bones. A low moan echoed from deep below, rattling the ground.Bainer stumbled back. "What the hell is that?"My stomach twisted. "A still lake . . . and twirling vines," I whispered.I recognized this from the journals. “Don’t tell me . . .” The words barely left my mouth.This was one of the worst places anyone could end up in the Evil Forest."The

  • Jade: The Hybrid Mage   Chapter 69: Whispers and Teeth

    Far across the mist, Lysar’s camp burned bright with controlled fires.Tents stood in neat rows. Food crackled over a spit. Laughter echoed through the clearing.They hadn’t yet faced a monster they couldn’t defeat—but they still kept their guards up. Fire repelled some creatures, but the ones it attracted were the most dangerous. So they scouted in shifts, planning only a few hours of rest.Lysar lay sprawled on a thick fur blanket, toying with a dagger. Arien — the royal mage — lounged beside her, sipping from a canteen.They were the picture of success. Strong. Untouchable.From the shadows, Ryn watched.Watched Lysar lean in, her fingers tracing Arien’s jaw. Watched their lips meet — slow, heated, possessive.Jealousy gnawed at his insides.His hands clenched at his sides.He could smell their mingled scents — Lysar’s musk, Arien’s magic, the heat of bodies pressed too close.He turned away.The pain of it was a blade twisting under his ribs.But what could he do?Werewolf and mag

  • Jade: The Hybrid Mage   Chapter 68: Mist & Romance

    Lysar strolled through the mist like she was taking a stroll through a rose garden, not a death trap.Her squad was all seasoned—fourth-years and fifth-years. They moved around her like a deadly pack, relaxed but hyperaware.She smirked behind her black half-mask, her portal magic flickering in tiny spirals around her fingertips, playful and casual."Poor Jade," she said lightly, almost singing. "Must be choking on her fear right about now."One of her teammates chuckled.Another—the royal mage—stepped closer, offering Lysar a playful grin. "Maybe she'll get lucky and die quickly."The royal werewolf stiffened a few paces back, silent. His golden eyes flicked to Lysar, then to the mage, then away. His posture rigid. His fists clenching.Lysar caught it all, of course.And smiled wider.She stepped toward the royal mage, tracing a finger down the front of his armored vest. Slow. Taunting."You’ll protect me, won't you, Arien?" she purred.The werewolf’s jaw tightened. A low, near-silen

  • Jade: The Hybrid Mage   Chapter 67: Into the Fog

    Lotanni was the first to give the full rundown on Lysar's team. Of course she was. If there was gossip, she'd find it faster than a scent-hound on heat."Three mages, four werewolves," she muttered while checking the straps on her gear. "One of the werewolves is royalty. The prince from the Southern Fang. Has a stupidly forbidden crush on Lysar."Nyomei raised a brow. "That arrogant one who walks like his back’s too stiff for his own head?""That’s the one. But get this—he’s in some kind of love triangle. Because apparently, one of the mages, another royal, is having an affair with Lysar too."Bainer blinked. "Wait, what?""I’m telling you, the drama in that squad is better than any tavern tale."I didn’t comment. I was too focused on the unnerving green eyes of one of the mages Lysar had selected. He hadn’t said much, but the moment I saw those eyes—bright, fog-cutting, too familiar—something twisted in my gut.Kreel.He was from Kreel.I’d know those eyes anywhere.The briefing was

  • Jade: The Hybrid Mage   Chapter 66: The Mission

    The news came the evening before the match.We were at the 5-Year Cadet Barracks when it dropped—right after evening drills, soaked in sweat and panting from a brutal sparring rotation. I’d barely unclenched my fists when the announcement flared across the nearest magic veil, the glowing script scrolling like a judge's verdict."UPDATE: Team Match Initiated. Jade Ishola and Lysar Fallan will no longer face off in a duel. Instead, each cadet will assemble a team and be deployed into the Evil Forest. Mission Objective: Recover a sacred crest stolen by bandits. First team to return with the item wins."A silence passed through the training ground when the update dropped. Then chaos.“They what?!” Lotanni shouted. “A mission? We’ve been training for the RGT, not an actual op!”Lysar’s voice cut through the noise, smooth and mocking. “Lucky cunt, Jade. Guess I won’t get to publicly humiliate her ass with a good beating after all.”She stood off to the side with her squad—older cadets in sh
