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, handed out flyers urging students to vote for me. Her enthusiasm was infectious, but I couldn't muster the same excitement.

Instead, my thoughts wandered back to Adam and his unexpected visit two nights ago. His presence had shaken me to the core, stirring emotions I had long buried beneath layers of fear and uncertainty. I replayed the moment he stood in my room, the moment his eyes searched mine with a tenderness that made my heart race, the moment he ravaged my neck with his lips.

  • Nemesis Of The Lycan Triplets   Quafars II

    “Diana! What the hell!” The brat laughed in response, eyes twinkling with anticipation and mischief as she glanced around the forest. Unfortunately, the Quafars paid her no attention. If our lookers were even the Quafars. “I’m taking you back home now.” I threatened when she opened her mouth to make another call. “Don’t you want me to see them so that I can believe your story?” I frowned. “You didn’t believe my story?” She shrugged. “Do you believe it yourself?” I let go of her hand, however hissing in exasperation the next second, when she burst out in laughter. “Jeez, you are so easy to toy around with. Levina will have the fits.” “Levina will not have believed my tale.” I said, continuing the trip. “You never can tell. She likes you, and is a good friend.” Diana pointed out, holding my hand. “Or do you think she is around you for the crowd? For the attention?” I furrowed my brows. “I don’t think so. We were friends before things went south. She is just a bit…” I

  • Nemesis Of The Lycan Triplets   Quafars

    Can you believe it? ‘Grounded’ existed in the dictionary of these magic-infested beings.The first day, I had thought to sit it out, that maybe my parents would change their mind about the punishment, seeing how helpful I was around the house, even going as far as helping Peter in his farm. But the second day, I knew I was actually grounded till the Queen’s party.Do they expect me to remain in my room like a prisoner? I wasn’t even allowed to attend my training with the Queen. And the royal woman didn’t dare debate against me, because doing so might try the reins holding her. She was still on probation in the eyes of her people.So I spent my day reading anything I can lay my hand on, and practicing spells with Diana. My little sister was the only one enamored by my adventure that night. I had told her about it all, including my second encounter with the strange witch, and with the beasts.The beasts part was her most favorite. So much so that she thinks we should sneak out of the

  • Nemesis Of The Lycan Triplets   Stealth IV

    I shouldn’t have called her name, alongside her title. I should have said ‘my Queen’ but that would only alert her that something was up. I always called her by her name and title. Hopefully, she wouldn’t decide to go berserk on me tonight and kill me off. Hopefully she wouldn’t notice that I was powerless. Hopefully she wouldn’t notice my false bravado. “Don’t you think your prideful gestures are getting out of hand? And I am not talking about your rude way of addressing me…” The Queen started, coming to stand beside me, eyes on the starless sky. Well, at least there wasn’t a goblet or full moon tonight to point toward the warning of the strange witch. I believed I would survive. I wouldn’t be dying tonight. “I am talking about walking around the forbidden forest, with no guard, not even with your friends, or your foster parents. Do you think you are invincible?” she turned to me with narrowed eyes. “Are you invincible?” I raised my left brow. “Are you being serious now? And

    Outside was chillier than before. Or was it just my body shutting down?I wrapped my hands around myself, inhaling in and out softly, needing to tell my body that I was here, in charge, but my legs felt heavy and about to give out. One more step. I chanted with each step I took, until I was out of the library vicinity.I stopped, rested on a tree, and looked at the cave. What do I do about the illusion? Not that I expected the strange witch to be waiting for me, but I kind of thought she would be hovering somewhere, or maybe had put a spell for the illusion to return once I came out.How that spell would have worked, I don't know. I didn't think it existed. 'Just go, Maya. Yes, the Queen would know that someone had broken through her illusion, but she doesn't know that it is you. Even if she suspects, there is no evidence.'But I didn't want suspicion at all. I was uncertain what her next move would be. Maybe a stronger illusion I couldn't break, even with El's help? "Hey."Where di

  • Nemesis Of The Lycan Triplets   Stealth II

    Three hours out, three books in, and I felt like I was floating in a sea of knowledge, never mind that most of them seemed unpractical; impossible realities spun from depraved minds.Because if it were true, then this world as I knew it was hanging on a very delicate thread. Try explaining to me how only a prophecy was stopping one supernatural species from attacking the other. It just didn’t make sense. And if it did, then it was a crazy-ass prophecy.About a certain one that bore the mark of divinity, which would bring both terror and peace… it sounded like a fairy-tale, but it was pleasing to read, pleasing and time-consuming.I was only able to cover three books because I had activated El’s speed reading, only that I had blown through the protein and chocolate bars I had come with. And now I was running on empty.El believed I should head out before I fainted in the library and became entrapped by the Queen. I thought so too, but only after I have finished this fourth book, which

    I was lost. I finally accepted it after running in circles for the fifth time, arriving at the same spot.I had marked the long tree—because that seemed to be the best adjective for the tallest tree I’ve seen in my life—after the second attempt had landed me right at its feet. What am I getting wrong?I looked around the dark forest--which once would have drowned me in fear, but now seemed mysterious to me--and I wondered where I had gone wrong.I had followed the area Rachel and her brother had led us through hours ago. I had stopped at the landmarks I saw then, so why wasn’t I seeing a wall? Why weren’t I seeing the caves? Was I missing something? Was it because I came from a party? Was there some code to this thing? ‘El, you gotta help me. What do I do?’ ‘You want me to locate the secret library?’ I rolled my eyes. ‘Of course. Can you do that?’ Please, know how to do that. For someone or something capable of much magic, surely locating a simple library was no task. I
