RAE

I asked Conrad if he was okay.

"Yeah." But his voice shook.

He bent down and picked up the journal again, holding it like it might explode. "I just... I don't know. I got weak in the knees for a second there."

"Where did you get this?" he asked, turning the leather cover over in his hands.

"The headmistress gave it to me. She was trying to shut me up by telling me that Seraphina wouldn't spit on my grave if the tables were turned." I took a breath. "And I guess it's true. But I can't... My sister grew up privileged. She spent more time here than at home. With how prejudiced everyone is here, it's no surprise she picked some of that up too."

I watched the other students still sparring on the mats. Their voices carried across the gym, casual and cruel. "The wolves here would devour you in an instant if they had a wound to pick at."

"I want justice for her," I said. "We were never close when we started to grow up. Her mom did not like me. So it was natural at the end of the day. But

    KIERANI knocked twice on Miyori’s office door before her voice called me in. The air was heavy with jasmine tea, threaded with something sharper that pulled at old memories. It reminded me of my father’s study, where the air often carried the stink of dried blood and the soft moans of whatever woman he was draining that night."Kieran." She didn't look up from the papers scattered across her mahogany desk. "Please, sit."I settled into the leather chair across from her, watching as she finished whatever she was writing. Her violet eyes finally met mine, and I felt that familiar chill that came with being under her scrutiny. Being half-vampire meant I could sense predators, and Miyori was definitely one of them, even if she wore the mask of an educator. She reminded me a lot of my father. She just had a less violent disposition."I wanted to discuss Rae Vale with you," she said, setting down her fountain pen.My jaw tightened. I should have expected this. "What about her?""Did you kn

    LUCAThe words hung between us like a live wire. She was afraid, yes, but it wasn’t guilt in her eyes. It was raw self-preservation. "Who did it?" I snarled. "Who was it, and why the hell are you protecting them?"Her head jerked in a frantic shake, her back pressed so hard into the wall she looked like she wanted to sink into it and vanish.My skull felt like it was splitting apart under the weight of it all. Everything I thought I knew about Seraphina’s death was unraveling in my hands."I don’t know," she stammered, eyes darting to the floor. "I just… saw some shadow."A laugh ripped from me, sharp and bitter. "A shadow? That’s the story you’re clinging to? That’s all you’ve got?" My stomach twisted, the bile rising as I stared her down. "You’re lying. You saw more than that."Her lips quivered, but no words came."She was still alive when she hit the ground, wasn’t she?" The words tore out of me, jagged and brutal. I took a step closer, my voice rising. "Whoever pushed her, they

    LUCAI tried to stay away. Goddess knows I tried. After what happened with Seraphina, after the guilt that ate at me every night, I promised myself I wouldn't get involved with her sister. Rae was dangerous territory. She looked nothing like Seraphina, sounded nothing like her. But every time I saw her, it was like picking at a wound that refused to heal.But when Annalise started following Rae toward the gym doors, something snapped inside me."That's enough." The words came out harder than I intended.Annalise stopped in her tracks. She turned to look at me, and for a second, I saw something flicker across her face. Surprise, maybe. Or calculation."Luca." Her voice was sweet again, all sugar and innocence. She was used to it. The one thing her mother had ingrained into her. "People are watching."I glanced around the gym. She was right. Other students had stopped their sparring to stare. Sentinel Brooks was pretending not to notice, but I could see him listening."This will get bac

    RAEThe hallway felt endless after I left Miyori's office. My fingers clutched Seraphina's journal so tightly that the leather was starting to warm under my grip. Students streamed around me, heading to their classes, but I couldn't move yet. I needed to know what my sister had been thinking before she died.I found a corner near the stairwell and pressed my back against the cold stone wall. Maybe if I touched the journal, I could see something. Some memory, some vision that would tell me what really happened to her.I closed my eyes and focused on the leather cover. Nothing. Not even the faintest spark of magic. The journal was just a book now, holding only the words my sister had chosen to write.I opened it carefully, like it might crumble in my hands. The first few pages were typical teenage complaints about homework and teachers. But then I found entries about Luca.He won't even look at me in the halls anymore. His father made it clear what he thinks of me. I'm not good enough f

    RAEThe silence stretched between us. I could hear my own heartbeat thundering in my ears. Miyori watched me with those unsettling violet eyes, waiting for me to process what she'd revealed.A spell weaver. The words echoed in my mind, foreign yet somehow fitting. All my life, I'd felt different, wrong, like I didn't belong anywhere. Now I could? And there was a name for it. Spellweaver."You might be an Omega born," Miyori said, breaking the silence, "but you are clearly a talented witch."I stared at her, not trusting myself to speak."Wash your slate clean and go in with the witches," she continued. "They are less prejudiced.”“Less prejudiced? Do you even know what happened to me before dawn?”“I am sorry for what Jessica tried to do to you. I assure you. She would be adequately punished."Goddess. She knew? She knew what I was going through and had done nothing to stop it. What kind of woman was she?I shook my head. "I don't believe that."Her expression hardened. "Would you lik
