RAE

The world tilted. I felt like I was falling, even though my feet were still planted on the carpet.

"Yes!" she continued, her voice getting louder. "You were a servant. I remember now. Sara told me you were her father's bastard."

The blonde gasped, one hand flying to her mouth. They were both staring at me now like I was some fascinating specimen they'd found under a microscope.

The dark-haired girl's eyes widened even further, and when she spoke again, her voice was barely a whisper. "Wait. Aren't you an Omega?"

The question hit me like a physical blow. I felt my wolf cower inside me, pressing low and small, trying to hide from the predators circling. My tongue felt thick and useless in my mouth.

"I... I..." The words wouldn't come. My throat had closed up, and all I could do was stand there, opening and closing my mouth like a fish drowning in air.

I tried to step back, to close the door, but the dark-haired girl was faster. She shoved her leg against the door frame, blocking it

    RAEI stood there for a long moment after the door clicked shut, my back pressed against the wood. My heart was still racing from that conversation with Professor Rhys. The way he looked at me, like he was seeing someone else entirely. And what I'd said about his... situation. I couldn't believe those words had come out of my mouth.The smell hit me immediately.Soap. Industrial-strength cleaner. Bleach. Someone had scrubbed this room within an inch of its life, probably just hours ago. The scent was so strong it made my eyes water. But underneath all that chemical warfare, something else lingered. Something floral and sweet, with an edge of expensive perfume. Saraphina's scent. Faint, but still there, clinging to the corners they couldn't quite reach.I dropped my bag on the floor and looked around. The room was bigger than I expected. A single bed sat against the far wall, wide and neatly made with crisp white sheets. No creases, no stray hairs, no dent in the pillow. Just perfect,

    CASSIANI tried to recover. I focused on Rae. I noticed the way she gripped her folder, the tremble in her jaw, the way her eyes darted around like she expected someone to jump out and yell “fraud.” She looked like someone who had learned how to be invisible, someone who had gotten used to being forgotten.For a second, I just wanted to shield her from everything in this school. From the whispers that would come, the cruelty that would follow, the quiet violence that lived in every shadow waiting for fresh blood. But I also wanted to shake her, to demand answers. Why did she look like my woman? Why now, after all these years?I held out my hand, hoping she didn’t see how it shook. “Assistant Professor Cassian Rhys,” I said, keeping it light. “But most people around here just call me Cass. I’m your tour guide, apparently.”She took my hand. Her skin was cold, but her grip was stronger than I expected. The moment our palms touched, a jolt shot up my arm. My incubus instincts screamed, w

    CASSIANNightmares always came to me before dawn. Sometimes I thought it was my blood, some rotten thing in my veins that kept old ghosts close. Sometimes, I knew it was my fault for letting myself remember.It started the way it always did. With her laughter echoing through the candlelit room, warm and melodic, like silver bells dancing on summer air. My ethereal form solidified as I materialized beside her bed, drawn by the familiar pull of mortal desire that had sustained me for centuries. But tonight felt different. Tonight, something was wrong.Elena turned toward me, her dark eyes reflecting the flickering flames, and for a moment I saw not love but fear. "You're taking too much," she whispered, her voice already growing weak. "I can feel myself fading."I reached for her, my supernatural beauty unmarred by the horror of what I was. "I cannot help what I am," I said, though my voice cracked with something I had never experienced before—remorse. "You knew what I was when you welc

    RAEI hardly slept that night. I tried, but every time I closed my eyes, I saw Saraphina’s smile… or worse, the way Luna Celeste’s eyes had rolled back when she hit the floor. I lay on my cot in the servants’ quarters, listening to the muffled voices and creaking pipes overhead. I wondered how I was supposed to pack up my whole life in a single night. What was there to pack, anyway? A few dresses, all black and plain. Three paperbacks with cracked spines. Some old letters Saraphina wrote me since I did not have a phone before she stopped writing. A scarf that still smelled a little like her perfume.The other servants found me as I sat on the edge of my bed, staring at my empty bag. Martha, who’d worked here since before I was born, put her hand on my shoulder. She didn’t say anything. She just squeezed, her rough palm warm through my nightgown. Someone else, a boy I barely knew, brought a cup of weak tea and left it at my side.“You’re leaving us, Rae?” Martha finally asked, her voic

    RAE"She's gone," I said finally. "I'm sorry, Luna Celeste. She's gone."The sound that came out of her wasn't quite human. It was raw and broken, the sound of a heart tearing in half. She tried to sit up, but I kept pressure on her head wound."No," she said. "No, that's not right. She's at school. She's supposed to be safe.""I am sorry," I said, because I didn't know what else to say.My father ended the call and knelt beside us. For a moment, just a moment, he looked like what he was: a man who'd just lost his daughter. Then the mask slipped back into place."Take her to the hospital," he ordered one of his men. "Now."They lifted Luna Celeste carefully, and I watched them carry her away. Blood stained the front of my dress, and my hands were still bleeding from the glass. But I couldn't feel any of it.Saraphina was dead. My sister, who I'd hated and envied and loved. The one everyone compared me to. The one I used to braid hair with, stealing snacks from the kitchen, whispering
