Mira's POV

Right after Josh's fight ended, a guard came to tell me I was needed at the security office. I headed there straight away.

The security office was a small room near the administrative wing with two chairs on one side of the table and two officers on the other.

I sat down, trying to stay calm.

The officer on the left was a broad woman with close cropped hair and a flat expression that gave nothing away. The one on the right was older, grey at his temples.

    Grimshaw's POVI left Lord Veron's office right after he assigned me that mission. An alley just behind the archivist's house was the perfect spot to shift without attracting too much attention. The alley was dark, narrow, choked with overflowing dumpsters.Good. No one could see me here.Not that there were many people around. This was a deserted part of the city, hidden from public knowledge. It was a settlement set aside for gifted elderly people. This would probably be the easiest break-in of my life. I took in a deep breath and loosened my body, letting the shift take me.My spine cracked and lengthened. I felt my skin stretch and thicken at the same time. By the time the shift was complete, I stood at eight feet tall, shoulders almost too wide for the alley. My knuckles brushed concrete on either side. I'd shifted into my giant troll form. . .It was time to get the records my master wanted. I moved through the back gardens, laying low, keeping to the shadows. My steps were qu

    Veron's POVI walked deep into the woods beyond the camp, seeking privacy. What I was about to do was top secret. No one at the Inter-School Shifter Warrior Competition must know what I wanted to do. Not the council. Not the contestants. Twigs creaked under my feet as I sought the perfect spot to do my thing. I soon found a Douglas fir tree with a trunk wide enough to suit my purpose. I pointed my palm at the tree and narrowed my eyes. I muttered the sacred words that very few in this realm knew. . . The darkness took form slowly, spiraling from the center outward. A hum buzzed from the black hole in the trunk. Moments later, two figures became visible in the darkness. Each one stood at least five feets taller than me. They were tall and wide in a way that made me feel like a dwarf next to them, their skins were plated in dark overlapping scales. I sighed as I observed the massive claws attached to their fingers. Their eyes were black all the way through, no iris, no white, and w

    Vessa's POVI stepped into the training yard at the earliest light of dawn. Everywhere smelled of sweat and blood. I oddly liked the smell. It reminded me of my determination to win my next fight.I stepped closer to the dummy and shifted. My muscle stretched and I settled into my jaguar frame.My paws bounced against the ground as I ran toward the dummy. I struck it hard. Hard enough to crack the wood frame. In my mind, I pictured Caden's face watching from the sidelines. I knew he admired how strong I was. I remembered the look on his face when I stood next to him when we were both crowned champions of our divisions. . .Soon enough he'd see past whatever spell that beastless girl had cast on him. There was nothing spectacular about that Mira girl.She had no beast. She wasn't even beautiful. A girl like that shouldn't be seen next to someone like Caden. He deserved someone strong, whose lineage was bonded to great people going back centuries. Someone like me.Caden was wasting him

    Aldric's POV The maps covered every surface of my study desk. I got up from the desk and walked to the window. My eyes ached from staring at words on different pages for too long. I stood with my back to the room, staring out at the dark line of trees beyond the palace walls. ~Caden should be here soon.~ I'd sent word to him, and I knew he would come as quickly as I had instructed. My mind was heavy. We had a lot of things to talk about. A knock interrupted my thought. I didn't turn. "Enter." The door opened and someone walked it. It wasn't Caden's stride. Heavier boots. I knew it was a guard without even turning. "My Lord." The guard said from behind me. "A patrol officer requests an audience. He says it's urgent." "Any idea what he wants to talk about?" "No, My Lord, but I think it's important. He looks shaken." "Really?" My jaw tightened. "Send him in." The guard left and a couple of seconds later, the patrol officer came in. The officer looked like he hadn't slept

    Caden's POVI headed back to the male hostel with my mind circling back to those precious moments when I locked lips with Mira. Her mouth was against mine, moving slowly. Then she went rigid and pulled back. I thought she was repulsed by the idea of kissing me.But it was something else. Fire.I couldn't understand why she would have a vision about fire while we were kissing. It didn't make sense. But I knew at some point she would get over it.I pushed open the door to my dorm and the noise hit me first. Controllers clicked as they played a soccer game. Bastian swore at the screen. Cael laughed at him for it. Riven sat cross-legged on the floor, headset half on.Riven looked up first. His eyes narrowed. "Why do you look like that?""Like what?""Like someone popped Ecstasy in your drink." He took of his headset completely. "You're smiling. That's strange, you hardly smile.""Are you serious?"Bastian paused the game, which earned him a groan from Cael. "He's right. What happened?"I

    Mira's POVCaden's breath was still warm against my ear.I stayed very still for a moment. His hand hadn't moved from my wrist. He really wanted me to tell Tyrell to leave. I swallowed, aware of both men looking at me. As much as I liked Tyrell and owed him for taking care of me, it was hard to say no to Caden. "Tyrell," I said. "You can leave everything here. I'll see you later."Something flashed in eyes, then it vanished. Tyrell nodded and came further into the room, setting the tray and the paper bag on the bedside table. He straightened up and glanced at the medication."Take the white ones with food," he said. "Not after. With. Please, keep that in mind.""Yes, I will.""The other two are for the infection. Morning and night. Don't skip.""I won't."He looked at me one moment longer than necessary. Then his eyes moved to the mark on Caden's neck. It was still visible above his collar. Tyrell looked back at me once more, then he turned and walked out, pulling the door shut be

The dorm was silent by this time of the night, except for the gentle snoring sound from several beds away.Everyone was asleep except me.My shoulder throbbed. The pain seemed to get worse with each passing hour. I tried to dis

    Caden's POVI walked off the training ground and dropped onto the bench beside Riven.My arms were tired in a way that felt productive. I'd pushed hard this session, longer than I usually went alone, and the fatigue in my shoulders and legs was insane. Bastian was on the grass a few feet away, fla

    Caden's POVThe training ground was empty.I’d come out early, before anyone else was up, and I had the space entirely to myself. That was what I needed. No friends chatting or arguing when I needed to focus. I started with flying drills and moved through them until my body was warm. Then I went i
