Today was Monday. The beginning of the week that had been been chosen for the contest.

The school buzzed with excitement at that knowledge—students chattering in the hallways, because teachers were nowhere to be seen. There were no lessons either, except magic classes. All efforts were geared toward the contest, either winning the contest, or campaigning for the contest’s contestants.

But my mind was far from the festivities. I watched from the sidelines as Levina, ever the supportive friend,

  • Nemesis Of The Lycan Triplets   the end?

    SAGEI reached for Makeh just as she rose to her feet.She had stretched both hands toward me, palms open, her expression unreadable in that infuriatingly calm way of hers.“What is going on?” I asked, suspicion tightening my voice.“I am going to show you your parents,” she replied simply.My breath caught. For a heartbeat, I did not move. My hands twitched at my sides. I had asked the question. I had demanded the truth. But now that the answer stood within reach, doubt coiled through me.“Are they… dead?” I asked quietly.Makeh’s gaze softened. “No.”Alive. The word echoed in my chest. Alive meant possibilities. Alive meant answers. Alive meant complications.I swallowed.“What could possibly go wrong?” I muttered, though the irony was not lost on me.Before I could change my mind, I slipped my hands into hers.The world collapsed.There was no spinning, no falling—only a sudden, absolute obliteration of everything familiar. Light vanished. Sound vanished. Even the sensation of my ow

  • Nemesis Of The Lycan Triplets   a wish

    SAGEI bit back a curse the moment Makeh released whatever spell had sealed my lips.The words burned at the back of my throat, hot and vicious, but I swallowed them down before they could escape and wake Adam. He shifted slightly behind me, still deep in sleep, blissfully unaware that a being had been standing by our window moments ago.My thoughts, however, were another matter entirely. What in the goddess' blazing—Makeh's shoulders shook with silent laughter.Of course she could hear that.And what is so funny?!I glared at her as carefully and murderously as one could glare at an entity before dawn. Slowly, I slipped out of bed, careful not to jostle Adam. His arm reached instinctively toward the empty space I left behind, fingers brushing the sheets.I smiled, watching him, then remembered the golden dragon breathing light into my eye and nearly scaring me into a third death.Priorities. I would come back to him later... We could, maybe, bring to reality my first dream... After

  • Nemesis Of The Lycan Triplets   a dream

    SAGESleep took me gently that night.It wrapped around me like warm silk, pulling me under without resistance. I did not remember closing my eyes. I only remembered Adam’s arm around my waist and the steady rhythm of his breathing at my back.And then I was laughing.I was on one of the long marble countertops in the western wing, my back against cool stone, Adam standing between my knees, his hands firm at my hips. The morning light streamed through the tall windows, catching in his hair, turning it molten gold.“The maid will be back any second,” I whispered, though I could barely keep the laughter from my voice.“All the more reason to hurry,” he murmured, his mouth brushing my collarbone.I swatted his shoulder, breathless, my heart racing with delicious recklessness. My dress was halfway undone, my breasts nearly bare, and his hands were everywhere at once.He kissed me again, deeper this time, and I tangled my fingers in his hair.“We are going to get caught,” I insisted, even

  • Nemesis Of The Lycan Triplets   perfect

    SAGEI had thought I understood what pride felt like.I was wrong.From the raised dais where I sat between Adam and his brothers, their Lunas flanking them like jewels, I waited to watch my sister walk toward destiny.The hall of the witches’ community had been transformed beyond recognition. Where once there had been stone floors etched with ancient sigils, there now lay layered carpets in deep plum and midnight blue, threaded with silver runes. Hundreds of floating candles drifted near the vaulted ceiling, their flames golden, casting soft halos against carved arches of white marble. Incense curled lazily through the air—lavender, myrrh, and something sweeter I could not name—blending into a scent that felt ceremonial, sacred.Garlands of night-blooming flowers hung between pillars, their petals pale as moonlight. Crystal orbs suspended by invisible magic hovered along the walls, each containing swirling lights like captured constellations. The entire hall glowed as if the sky its

  • Nemesis Of The Lycan Triplets   peace

    ADAMI had never thought peace would feel like this… warmly fulfilling. I laid on my side, propped up on one elbow, watching Sage sleep in my bed.My mate.The word still did something to me. It settled deep in my chest, intoxicating, grounding, all at once. After everything, after the years, I had her here. In my room. In my arms.The doctor had insisted she be transferred here after the final examination. “Rest,” he’d said firmly. “Complete rest.” As if I needed convincing.She laid curled slightly toward me, her hair fanned across my pillow like a spill of midnight silk. Her breathing was steady, her lashes resting gently against her cheeks. Without the tension that had shadowed her for weeks, she looked younger. Softer. I brushed my fingers lightly over her cheek.She stirred.A soft, sleepy moan slipped from her lips, and I couldn’t stop the smile that tugged at mine. It was ridiculous how that tiny sound affected me. I leaned down and pressed a gentle kiss to her forehead.Her

  • Nemesis Of The Lycan Triplets   powerless? ii

    SAGEThe idea of being taught magic again should have frightened me. It did not.If anything, it made something quiet inside me settle. I had never been too proud to learn. I had clawed my way through every skill I possessed—combat, control, leadership—often the hard way. Starting from the beginning did not scare me.What unsettled me was something deeper. I did not think I had the magic gene anymore. It felt gone.Not dormant or sleeping. Gone.As though the goddess had taken back what she had lent me. The abyss, the ancient bloodline that had awakened in me, the tether to something divine—all of it felt like a door that had closed and sealed.Maybe that was the cost. Maybe that was balance.I had reached into power no mortal body was meant to hold twice in one day. I had bent the sun to my will. I had burned an entire region clean.Perhaps the universe had decided that was enough.I flexed my fingers slowly, studying them. They looked ordinary. Human.Was I human again?The thought

  • Nemesis Of The Lycan Triplets   Twice Bitten

    Ten minutes was up, and so was my patience. I stood from the seat and started toward the door, willfully trying to put aside my anger. Perhaps the Lycan King had better plans for Adam, better people for him to meet. I shouldn't be angry. But it was futile. The annoyance slashed through me, beatin

  • Nemesis Of The Lycan Triplets   Want

    The little hall was unlike the grand palace rooms filled with chandeliers and gold trims. It carried a different kind of weight, one that pressed down on me the moment I stepped inside. The air here was still, reverent, like it belonged to centuries of whispered confessions and stern judgments. Be

  • Nemesis Of The Lycan Triplets   After Tango

    "Do you want to get out of here?"Adam's eyes scanned the hall lazily, though I could tell it was more calculated than it looked. They roved past the glittering chandeliers, the long tables heavy with fruits and wine, the crowd swaying to the music. And then they landed back on me, catching me in t

  • Nemesis Of The Lycan Triplets   Tango II

    Adam stood rigid, jaw taut, balled fists by his sides, his eyes unreadable as they stared at his brother. His expression was a storm barely contained, almost thunderous—he was trying, and failing, to look calm, unbothered, civil. I thought it was funny, then strange. Why would he look like that? I
