"Right." I let out a breath. "I remember."

But the memory felt distant now. Like it had happened to someone else. I rubbed my eyes with the heel of my palm.

"I tried though. Just now. It didn't work."

"At least you tried."

I looked at him. He was staring at the roses, his jaw tight.

"It isn't enough."

Luca turned his head to me. His eyes caught mine and held them. "It seems like that isn't the only thing bothering you."

My stomach twisted. I looked away first.

"What do you mean?"

"I can tell through our bond." His voice was quiet. Matter of fact. "You're bothered and this isn't just about Seraphina."

The words settled between us. I wanted to deny it but what was the point? He could feel it anyway. That stupid connection we had now. The one I didn't ask for and couldn't get rid of.

"You're one to talk." I pulled my knees up to my chest. "You're going through something as well."

Luca went still. Not in a relaxed way. In the way people did when they got caught doing something they di

  • Reckless Royals of Nocturne Prep   At the Precipice of it all

    RAEThe moment my hand closed around Conrad’s wrist, everything inside me tightened. I expected a spark or a flash of magic, something loud, something dramatic. Instead the room leaned sideways and the air pressed against my ears. My sight blurred and then pulled forward like someone had hooked a line through my chest.I blinked and the kitchen vanished.I stood in the small dorm room where it all began. The lights were dim and everything felt too close. The first thing that hit me was the smell. Sharp. Chemical. A sting that made my throat ache even though I wasn’t breathing the air with my real body. Moonshine. Not the cheap kind. The stuff that burned all the way through.Saraphina sat at a desk with a mirror in front of her. There was a thin blue line on it, neat and straight. She leaned forward and sniffed it like she had done it a hundred times. Her shoulders eased in a strange way, almost relaxing and tense at the same time. She dragged her sleeve across her face, then turned

    RAE The party hit me like a wall of sound and heat the moment we stepped through the door.Bodies pressed against each other in the dimmed living room. The bass from the speakers thrummed so deep I felt it in my chest. Someone had strung up colored lights that pulsed in time with the music. Red. Blue. Green. The strobing made everything feel unreal.Luca barely made it three steps before a group of guys descended on him. They were loud and drunk and clearly thrilled to see him."Luca! Holy shit, man, you actually came!""Dude, we thought you were going to bail again!"They grabbed at him. Patted his shoulders. One of them tried to pull him toward the living room where people were grinding against each other like they couldn't hear the music properly unless their hips were touching.Luca looked back at me. His expression was caught between amusement and resignation."Come on," he said. He held out a hand.I shook my head. "I need water. I'll catch up with you."He hesitated. I could f

    RAETears formed in my eyes. Hot and sudden and unstoppable."Hi." My voice cracked. "I finally get to see you."I wiped at my face with the back of my hand but more tears just kept coming."I would have come sooner. But Father..." I stopped. The word felt wrong in my mouth. "I don't know if I'm even allowed to call him that anymore."The headstone didn't answer. Of course it didn't. In what world would it? But I kept talking anyway."Because he's not my father. But he's the only thing that should be." I laughed but there was no humor in it. "He was horrible. Cruel even. In that nonchalant I don't give a fuck about you way. And Goddess knows I wanted him to give a fuck."I knelt down in the grass. It was damp with evening dew and soaked through my jeans but I didn't care."The only time he started to give maybe a fuck was when you died." My throat tightened. "It was like you had to die for me to finally have a life."The words tasted bitter. Wrong. But they were true."But when I got

    RAEThe door to my room flew open.Martha burst in. Her eyes scanned the space until they landed on me, still sprawled on the floor surrounded by the now broken picture frame and scattered jewelry."I heard something crash." She rushed toward me. "Luna Celeste asked me to check on you. Are you hurt?"I stared at her. My brain felt like it was moving through honey. Everything around me was sharp and clear but nothing made sense yet."Rae?" Martha knelt beside me. "What happened?""Martha." My voice came out hoarse. "I saw her."Her face went blank. "You saw what?""I did a spell." The words tumbled out faster now. "I needed to know. I needed to see if she was truly alive or dead. Something concrete. I wanted to really see her and I saw her. She's alive."The color drained from Martha's face. She looked like someone had punched her in the stomach."My mother is not running." I grabbed Martha's hand. The contact grounded me. Made everything feel more real. "She's alive. But she's trapped

  • Reckless Royals of Nocturne Prep   The Village And The Babe

    CONRADI didn't want to go back.The thought sat heavily in my chest as the car pulled through the iron gates. I'd survived violent sexual assault at Nocturne. I'd made deals with demons that were slowly eating me from the inside out. I was hearing voices, seeing things and losing pieces of myself every day. And somehow, somehow, going home still felt worse than all of that combined.But where else could I go?Kieran's place? We'd have to talk about why we stopped fucking around. We’d have to acknowledge that I was just a convenient way for him to piss off his father. Have to pretend it didn't hurt when I realized that was all I'd ever been to him.Luca's house? His father made mine look progressive. At least my father only wanted to pretend what I was didn't exist. Luca's father would have thrown me out on the street if he knew what his son's friend really was.I'd crashed there before though. Suffered through the thinly veiled comments about weakness and proper Alpha behavior. Swall
