Evelyn’s fingers brushed over the scrolls she had studied all day. The knowledge burned in her mind, a blazing thread of insight and warning. Each symbol, each word, had a weight that pressed against her skull, making sleep impossible. And yet, she had no desire to rest. Tonight was different. Tonight, the academy itself would test her.

Lucien appeared first, stepping out of the shadows like he belonged to them. “You’re ready,” he said, voice low and smooth, eyes glinting amber in the dim moonlight. “Tonight, you will face the first trial. The academy chooses. You will either bend it to your will… or it will bend you.”

Evelyn rose, her legs unsteady but her resolve firm. “I’m ready,” she whispered, though even she wasn’t certain she believed the words. The mark in her veins throbbed, a constant reminder that power demanded both caution and courage.

    Evelyn’s fingers brushed over the scrolls she had studied all day. The knowledge burned in her mind, a blazing thread of insight and warning.

  • MARKED BY BLOODLINE    Chapter 33

    In the echo of the library confrontation, a heavy silence settled over Wind Grave Academy—one of those silences that presses on the skin, reminding everyone what had just happened. Evelyn’s body throbbed with a bone-deep ache she hadn’t expected. Channeling the mark, pulling the shadows the way she had… it left her drained and somehow charged at the same time. Her muscles trembled, but her mind refused to settle. Something had woken inside her—something powerful, something thrilling, something that scared her more than she wanted to admit.Lucien didn’t stray far. Minutes ago his presence had felt suffocating; now it wrapped around her with a strange, protective gravity. His amber eyes didn’t blink as he studied her, sharp and unreadable. “You pushed yourself harder than ever,” he said quietly. “And you held control. That’s… rare.”Evelyn let herself drop into the nearest armchair before her legs betrayed her. “I had to,” she whispered. “If I didn’t… I don’t even want to think about

    The library smelled like parchment with a mix of raw magic. Evelyn’s pulse thundered in her ears as the shadows recoiled and surged around her, responding to the sudden eruption of power she had unleashed. Every fiber of her being hummed with an energy that was both frightening and intoxicating. She could feel the mark in her veins, throbbing, alive, demanding obedience and yet offering clarity in its own twisted way.Lucien’s presence was a dark anchor at her side, his shadows intertwining with hers, moving as one. He whispered her name under his breath, low and steady, grounding her amidst the chaos. “Control it,” he said. “Do not let fear dictate your power. Let it flow… but command it.”Elias moved with deliberate precision, stepping forward to shield her from the intruder’s strikes. His eyes, sharp as ever, were locked on the enemy, calculating angles, anticipating moves. But even as he fought, he kept one eye on Evelyn, reading every subtle twitch of her muscles, every flicker

    The moon hung low over Wind Grave Academy, casting silver beams through the tall windows of the library. Evelyn could feel the pulse of the night outside, the quiet hum of the academy’s hidden corners, and the whispers of long-forgotten spirits that roamed its halls. Even in her victory with the Codex, she felt no relief. The power she had controlled today was only a fraction of what lingered within her, and she knew the true test had yet to come.Lucien stood nearby, leaning against a tall bookshelf. His amber eyes glowed faintly in the dim light, watching her with a careful, almost predatory patience. “You’re learning quickly,” he murmured, his voice a low rumble. “Faster than I expected, though not fast enough for what’s coming.”Evelyn turned to face him, her hand still hovering above the Codex. The shadows around her shifted subtly, a protective shimmer as though aware of the tension in the room. “I have to learn. I can feel the mark inside me… It’s… awake now. And I don’t know w

    The library had quieted, though the air still thrummed with the echoes of Evelyn’s first real confrontation with the academy’s shadows. Her palms tingled from the energy that still lingered around her, the mark on her wrist pulsing in time with her racing heartbeat. Lucien’s cloak brushed the floor behind him as he moved closer, silent and graceful, every step precise, almost predatory.“You controlled them,” he murmured, his amber eyes flicking to hers with a mixture of awe and calculation. “You weren’t just reacting—you commanded.”Evelyn exhaled slowly, though her chest still felt tight. “I… I didn’t know I could,” she admitted, her voice trembling slightly. The power was intoxicating, yes, but terrifying. Every shadow she had directed toward the hunters had been guided by instinct, by survival—and by something more she couldn’t name.“Instinct,” Lucien said, tilting his head. “Yes… but also bloodline. That mark isn’t just a symbol. It’s alive. And it reacts to your will, but it al

  • MARKED BY BLOODLINE    chapter 29

    The corridors of Wind Grave Academy were quieter now, but not safe. Every shadow seemed to stretch a little farther, every flicker of candlelight revealing shapes that weren’t entirely human. Evelyn moved with careful, deliberate steps, the weight of her recent awakening pressing down on her shoulders. The mark on her wrist pulsed faintly, a constant reminder that the power within her was no longer dormant—it demanded attention, focus, mastery.Lucien stayed close, silent but vigilant. His presence was at once comforting and unnerving. He didn’t speak, didn’t offer guidance, only moved as if he and the shadows themselves were in silent conversation. Elias followed a few steps behind, his eyes sharp, scanning every corner, every flicker of movement. He carried himself like a sentinel, unwavering, yet Evelyn could sense the restraint in his body—the careful balance between protection and suspicion.“I still don’t understand,” she murmured, her voice echoing softly off the stone walls. “
