Se connecterChapter 19Lyra's POV We returned to Blackthorn by midnight. My limbs hurt from walking the distance and my hands still shook from the experience. Caius lead the way while Lucien walked by my side, our fingers intertwined. I fell asleep the second my body to seeuched the mattress. I was that exhausted. When I woke up the next morning, the boys were still asleep. I slipped on a robe and stepped out. I inhaled the moist morning air deeply. I needed to go on a walk to clear my head. Everything was happening too fast and it was all too confusing for me to understand. It almost felt like something was trying to snuff the air out of me. I couldn't control my wolf or the way I felt around the Voss brothers. They had refused to claim me because my wolf was too unstable. I sat down beside a lake at the back of the house and stared at the water. A family of ducks were swimming across. They all looked so peaceful and I envied them. When was the last time I had ever felt genuinely happy?
CHAPTER 18LYRA’S POV"Lyra, watch out!" Caius roared, shooting the Dread walker in the chest and he really died. “I think I told you to get out of your head, do you plan on getting us killed? And who told you to join in the fight?”“Cauis, this is not the place for that. Being shot in the chest kills them, focus on that information before you get us killed.” Lucien snapped as he smiled at me and threw a shotgun at me.It was like a shooting spree where the main character tried to not get killed by the villian and making sure to shoot the villian on their chest. It was messy but it was all going in our favor until… one of the dread walkers grabbed me by my neck and formed a barrier between us and the ongoing war.‘So, this is the end. I won’t even have a chance to enjoy life before I die. Welp!’ I thought as I closed my eyes ready for the death to come when a memory suddenly hit me, it was like a vision cause the memory doesn’t belong to me.I saw this valley, it was filled with peopl
CHAPTER 17Lyra’s POVI heard a loud and obnoxious scream but it was surprisingly not from any of us. So, we stopped in shock wondering where who screamed when we felt an unnatural cold breeze blew through he dead trees. It was terrifying cause it literally sent shivers and cold through my whole being. “What’s going on? Lucien, I’m scared to death. Let’s leave this place.” I muttered in fear.“Calm down, we are also scared but going out of here without finding what we came for is not an option, so we must face this together even if it’s cost us our lives. Hopefully, Ronan would find us and save us.” Lucien replied while Cauis just scoffed.Weird and scary looking creatures suddenly crawled out of the wall, they were dressed like guards with mask on, why do they have mask on? And why is that symbol on the mask? They were growling at us as if they were daring us to make any wrong move. “What are these things and why do they look so disgusting?” I asked, staring at them with a disgusti
Chapter 16Selena's POV In all my years of knowing Kael, I had never seen him look as helpless and distraught as he did these days. He spent hours moping around and speaking to himself, scheming how to get Lyra back. His behaviour sickened me and his weakness irritated me. I pulled out my chair noisily as I sat in front of him. He didn't even blink in my direction. I rolled my eyes and tried to focus on the ongoing lecture. “Can Miss Lyra answer the question?” The tutor said and when there was no response, she turned around. Lyra wasn't in class. “Lyra?”“She’s absent.” I said, disgust curling my lips. Kael suddenly snapped out of his thoughts and got on his feet. “Where is she?”“Probably out there killing someone else.” Someone muttered beneath his breath. Kael gasped and his eyes thinned. “What did you just say?” He growled. The class fell silent and even the tutor edged closer to the door. I leaned back and watched Kael spiral because of Lyra. The jokes write the
CHAPTER 15Lyra’s POVI walked as fast as my legs could carry me to the Voss brothers chamber cause I felt suffocated in my room. My lungs seized, a cold, sharp spike of adrenaline piercing through my chest as my knees threatened to buckle, I felt down roughly as tears rushed out of my eyes.I could feel my strength failing me as I hit my hand on the door, the symbol flashed through my mind and I could feel a cold shiver run down my spine. I still counts get the fear of what might be the connection between my dream and the incident out of my mind cause it felt like…“Geez, what are you doing on the floor?” Lucien gasped as he carried me up carefully and entered the room, shutting the door with his leg.“Who’s at the door?” Ronan asked stepping out of his room with a towel on his waist, he walked towards Lucien, caressing my face in shock, “what happened to you? Did anyone hurt you or something? Cauis, bring water for her go drink.” Cauis came out of the kitchen with water, “what’s wr
Chapter 14Lyra's povThe Academy cloisters were usually pristine, smelling of beeswax and old vellum. Today, they felt like a tomb. As I slipped down the rear spiral staircase, a narrow passage used mostly by the kitchen staff, the commotion grew louder. Voices echoed off the high stone arches ahead: harsh commands, the scraping of iron gurneys, and the low, collective murmur of frightened faculty.I reached the arched threshold of the North Conservatory, a massive glass domed room filled with rare, nocturnal flora. Now, the glass overhead was dark, reflecting the flickering torches of a dozen gathered Sentinels.I ducked behind a massive, potted shadow-fern, its long fronds providing perfect cover. Through the leaves, I could see the center of the room, where the rare moon-lilies usually bloomed. The lilies had been crushed into a pale, slimy pulp.In their place lay a body.It was Master Harrison, the head of the Astrological Order. He was slumped against the central stone fountain
Chapter 9KAEL’S POV I could almost taste the fear that enveloped the academy. Students walked in groups and talked in whispers. Professors barely left their offices if it wasn't important and everyone seemed to walk with their fists clenched and their ears strained. The once rowdy hallways
CHAPTER 8Lyra's povWill anyone be stupid enough to kill someone in this place? The smell of this place makes me want to throw up cause it’s so disgusting and gross.The concentrated scent of ozone and old sand always lingered in the lower corridors of Blackthorn Academy, but today, the scent was
CHAPTER 12Selena's POV The night was dark as I snuck out of the academy, trying to hide from the numerous guards that were roaming around the academy. the security has been tight for a while now and it has been almost impossible to leave the academy but tonight, I needed to leave or else my life
Chapter 10 KAEL'S POV Lyra's words hit sharper than a physical blow. I felt a dull ache in my chest. The crowd went silent and I felt hundreds of eyes staring at me.“I’m just trying to help.” I said through clenched teeth. “I don't remember asking for your help. Those days are gone.”I too
