MIYORI

The walk to the conference hall felt longer than it should have. My heels clicked against the marble floors in a rhythm that matched my heartbeat. Too fast. Too loud. I could hear voices before I even reached the doors. Angry voices. Grief-stricken voices. Voices demanding answers I didn't have. But I had to give because it was the position I had taken up.

I pushed open the doors.

The noise hit me like a physical wall. Parents were everywhere. Standing in clusters, pacing by the windows, sitting in chairs with their heads in their hands. Some were crying. Others were shouting. The one thing they did all share was that all of them turned to look at me when I entered.

"There she is!" someone yelled. "The headmistress who can't protect our kids!"

A woman rushed toward me. She was tall, blonde, dressed in expensive clothes that probably cost the fortune of two middle class generations. Her face was twisted with rage and grief in equal measure.

The sentinels moved to block her path.

    MIYORI"I got here five minutes ago and heard some very interesting things from the sentinels outside." He walked down the center aisle like he owned the place. Like he owned me. "The first case was you hushing Magnus by giving a spot to his bastard Omega, and now you want to fuck up the life of a promising young Alpha. I refuse to stand by and watch this nonsense go on."The room went very quiet. Even Vivianne had stopped crying to watch this unfold."That's quite an accusation," I said."Is it?" Gregory stopped at the front of the hall, looking up at me on the stage. "Because from where I'm standing, it looks like you're using my son as a scapegoat. Two girls die at your academy under your watch, and instead of taking responsibility, you pin it on the first convenient target you can find.""The evidence suggests otherwise.""What evidence?" He spread his hands wide, playing to the crowd. "Some packaging that could have come from anywhere? Some money that half the students on this ca

    MIYORIThe sentinel's voice cut through my thoughts like a blade I hadn't seen coming."Headmistress, the parents are here."I looked up from the report I'd been pretending to read for the last twenty minutes. My office felt smaller than usual. The walls were closing in. Or maybe that was just the pain still radiating from the claw marks on my back."How many?" I asked."Thirty-seven so far. More arriving by the minute."Fuck.I stood up slowly, trying not to wince as the movement pulled at my injuries. The healing process for wounds inflicted in the dream realm was always slower. More complicated. The fact that whatever had attacked me in Rae Vale's subconscious had left physical marks on my body was still something I didn't want to think about too hard."Tell them I'll address them shortly," I said. "But first, I need you to do something for me."The sentinel waited. He was one of the older ones. Gray at the temples, steady hands. The kind of guard who didn't ask questions when orde

    CONRADThe question hit me like ice water."He'll survive," I said quickly. "He comes from money. His family will get him good lawyers. Cozy up with fucking royals. He'll be fine. A few months of questioning, maybe some community service. They can't prove he actually killed anyone because he didn't. The evidence will fall apart eventually and it will be too late to learn anything new. The Whitmores will pay Annalise’s mother something worth her time and everyone fucking forgets and lets it go.""But you're framing him," Seraphina said. "You're making him take the blame for what you did. You are rich too.""My father is rich!” I yelled back, immediately, scractching at my face. “There is a fucking difference.”“Plus, he can handle it," I insisted. My voice sounded desperate even to my own ears. "He's strong. He'll survive this. He will. I am just an Omega. This world would eat me alive for protecting myself."They both tilted their heads in that synchronized way that made my skin craw

    CONRADI sat on the edge of my bed, staring at the wall. My hands wouldn't stop shaking. The moonlight coming through my window made shadows that moved wrong, like they were reaching for me.Marcus Whitmore should be in custody by now. Miyori should have arrested him hours ago. I'd given her everything she needed. The packaging. The money. The connection to Annalise. It was perfect. It should have worked.But it didn't.She hadn't made the arrest. Which meant she didn't believe me. Or worse, she believed some of it but not all of it. She was waiting. Watching. Testing.Did she suspect me?My stomach twisted. I pressed my palms against my knees, trying to stop the trembling. This wasn't how it was supposed to go. Annalise's death should have closed the door. Two horrible accidents. Two troubled girls who couldn't handle the pressure. End of story.Instead, Luca had kicked that door wide open and now Miyori was looking through it with those sharp violet eyes that saw too much.I needed

    CASSIANThe word hung between us like a confession. Mate. She'd said it so quietly I almost thought I'd imagined it, but the way her eyes searched mine told me I hadn't."Mates," I repeated, and I hated how unsteady my voice sounded. "You and I. We're mates…"My mind was racing, trying to reconcile what she was saying with everything I knew about my nature. Incubi didn't have mates. We were creatures of desire and hunger, not destined bonds and cosmic connections. The very idea was absurd.Except it wasn't. Not completely.I thought about the way my chest tightened every time I saw her. The way her scent made my unholy heart sing. The absolute certainty that I would burn the world down to keep her safe. I'd told myself it was because she was Elena reborn, because I owed her that much. Because I cared that much. But what if it was something more?What if fate had finally decided to give me something I'd never thought to ask for?"How long have you known?" I asked."Since the moment I w
