LOGINVae “Mine." Lora surged hard, trying to take over. I shoved her back with everything I had. The bond. The pull. His scent. I couldn’t let any of it win. He leaned in, face tilting, eyes locked on my lips?? I shoved at his chest and turned my face away. He followed anyway. His nose brushed the line of my jaw as he dragged in a deep breath, like he couldn’t help himself either. No. I had to get out of here somehow, I can't do this…Not until.. But my body betrayed me, my nose kept pulling his scent in deeper. His lips crashed into mine. Hot. Dark. Demanding The little resistance I held gave in, my lips parted in a sound I didn't mean to make and I let him in. His hand on the small of my back tightened and my back hit the bark of a tree.Hard, solid and cold. The impact should have cleared my head. It didn't. His tongue slid against mine, slow and devastating,the pull became unbearable. My hands stopped pushing and curled into his shirt instead, dragging him closer until there
Vae My heart slammed against my ribs. Crown Prince Ryker- is my mate??? I broke eye contact first. If I kept looking at him, I’d lose control.The pull still burned, but at least I could breathe again. I glanced sideways. Nyx was still locked on the stage. No one seemed to notice. Good. I needed to stay low. For now.Thoughts crashed through my head one after another. The mission. Kill him. That was why I was here. The Black Lotus Guild had given the order and I’d taken it without hesitation. Because of what Ironfang had done. I used to be a princess. Silvermoon was my home. My parents ruled it. Then Ironfang came. They massacred them, claiming we broke the moon treaty, calling us traitors. I still remembered the smoke and the screams. I was only a child when I ran. Escaped through the forest with nothing but the clothes on my back. The Black Lotus found me half-dead in the woods. They took me in. Trained me. Turned me into a blade. From that day I carried only one truth: Ironfang
Vae"I’m serious, Vae. This place is rough on omegas. Really rough. Back home my pack at least pretended we mattered. Here? The alphas act like we’re dirt. Training classes, meal times, even the dorms, omegas always get the worst of it. Last year some girl got shoved around just for sitting in the wrong seat. And if you look at the wrong alpha the wrong way? Forget it.” Nyx talked the whole way, voice sharp but low. I nodded like I was listening. I asked her a simple question about how the school hierarchy worked, and she took it to heart, debating and arguing like her life depended on it. Prince Ryker– three days in and still no sign of him. Time was running out. “Vae.” Nyx tapped my arm. “Are you listening?” “Yh, yh. I heard. Omegas get treated like garbage here. We’ve got each other’s backs, right?” She sighed, then nodded. “Yh. We have to. This academy will eat you alive if you're alone” I nodded and forced something close to a smile. We reached the academy’s audit
Vae“Your name?” the registration clerk asked, still typing.“Vae Shadowmoon.”She typed a bit more, then pulled a keycard from the small machine beside her.“Omega Hall – Room 217. Wait at the Omega waiting area. Your dorm master will come soon. Next.”I took the card and walked over to where she pointed.The waiting area was full of girls. All Omegas. Most of them looked timid, shoulders slightly hunched as if they were afraid of taking up too much space. Some were returning students already dressed in the academy uniform, while others, like me, wore ordinary clothes and carried luggage.None of them looked like they could hurt a fly.I scanned the hall carefully. Students from the other dorms were being taken away immediately by their dorm masters the moment they got their keycards. Only the Omega dorm master was missing.I rolled my eyes. Probably somewhere kissing an Alpha heir’s boots.This academy has ranks just like the Black Lotus Guild, only they don’t kill and use knives. F
Vae “He’s not dead?!” “Nope. The one you killed was a substitute. Seems the prince is very strict about his safety,” Kieran, a scout, said. No wonder he was so easy to kill. I was wondering how a Lycan Alpha could fall that easily. Turns out he was just a substitute. And that behavior….., doesn't look like what a lycan prince would have done, I could have put those points together before taking action. The glass cup in my hand shattered. “Elite Assassin, Shadow Rank Vespera. Report to Shadow Master B’s office.” The Shadow Master I’m under. Every scout looked up from their computers and turned toward me. “Oh crap. Here it goes,” I muttered, turning away. “Haha, try to stay alive,” Kieran chuckled behind me. I ignored him and walked out. The Black Lotus Guild has one major rule: 'A Failed Blade Is A Broken Blade.' An assassin must never come back without completing a mission. Whoever does is marked for elimination by the Guild itself. The Black Lotus Guild is a deadly underw
Vae The bass hit hard enough to rattle the glasses on the bar. I didn't care. I hadn't come for the music. Crown Prince Ryker of Ironfang sat in the VIP section of the club, surrounded by his men. Black suit. Easy smile. The quiet, dangerous presence of an Alpha who never needed to raise his voice. A prince in expensive suits. A monster who still breathed. I had to find a way to get in-,to use my power on him.Soon he excused himself and went to the men's restroom. Perfect. I followed, making sure I wasn't seen by the guards. Good thing I'd brought my mask. I waited outside, positioned myself where he'd have no choice but to pass close. When he walked out, I let myself stumble, a shoulder into his chest. "Oh –, I'm sorry." When his eyes finally lifted and met mine, I slipped. Not with my feet. With my mind. The surface of his thoughts opened the moment our gazes locked. I moved through them cleanly, past the boredom, the constant low calculation, the restless growl
