Maya knelt beside her half-open luggage, folding clothes with an absent rhythm. Each movement was precise but slow, her thoughts wandering back to the series of events that had happened during their vacation. Back at Moonshine, back to the same halls, the same walls, but nothing feels the same anymore.She smoothed the corner of a sweater with her hand and sat back against the bed. The silence in the dorm was both comforting and unnerving. Strange, Lucas could’ve just dropped it by later.The faint sound of footsteps broke her thoughts. The door creaked open.“Maya?”She jumped up, startled. Lucas stood in the doorway, holding a folded scarf in his hand.Her eyes widened. “Lucas? What are you doing here?”He tilted his head, confused. “Lily forgot this in my bag. I thought I would drop it off before it got lost.”Maya froze. Slowly, the words sank in.“You… what?”“The scarf,” Lucas repeated, lifting it slightly. “She left it—”“No,” Maya cut him off, her voice shaking. “She alre
The parking lot of Moonshine College was still, bathed in the soft orange glow of the setting sun. The towering buses and scattered cars cast long shadows over the ground as Lily’s sneakers made the faintest sound as she shifted her weight uneasily. And then Lena spoke. “I'm actually surprised you came.” Her voice slid across the still air, sweet and almost melodic, but there was something under it, a tension. Lily’s breath caught in her chest, she hadn’t expected this. She had expected Lucas, maybe Liam waiting with a playful smirk, maybe even Graham with one of his sarcastic words, but not Lena, never Lena. “What are you doing here?” Lily demanded, her heart breathing hard in her ribs. Lena smiled faintly, though her eyes carried something sharper, something desperate. "It worked," she thought, "the bait worked." She made a mental note, no, more than that, a silent promise, to thank her hacker properly. He had been worth every amount she had paid him. That clever man h
The rumble of the Alpha twins’ personal travel bus finally settled into silence as it rolled into the main parking lot of Moonshine College. The air was cool and crisp, so different from the chaos and blood that had filled their vacation. One by one, the group stepped down with their bags. Lily adjusted the strap of her tote bag over her shoulder, Maya dragged her rolling suitcase with a sigh, Graham stretched his arms like he hadn’t stood in days, and Aiden came out last, his expression guarded. Lucas and Liam inhaled deeply as though they were warriors returning to familiar ground, the campus buildings looming tall and reassuring in the distance. But the atmosphere carried weight. None of them had really missed Moonshine. The semester break had been anything but restful. “Smells the same,” Graham muttered, dragging his duffel bag off his shoulder. “College air, exhaust fumes, cafeteria grease, and overpriced coffee.” Maya rolled her eyes. “You forgot the stench of anxiety
The sun dipped low across the horizon, painting the sky in hues of orange and fading light. Waves lapped gently against the shore, their rhythmic whispers carrying a serenity that contrasted sharply with the turmoil churning in Clara’s chest. She sat in one of the resort’s woven lounge chairs, her bare feet brushing the cool grains of sand, the ocean breeze tugging at her hair. For the first time in today, she felt light, fulfilled and victorious. She had done it. Her chest swelled with a private satisfaction as she thought back to the confrontation by the beach earlier that afternoon. The way Lily’s wide eyes had flickered with shock when she had told her the truth about Lena and her secrets. Clara had peeled the mask off Lena’s perfect, deceitful face in one stroke of truth, and for once, she wasn’t the one trembling. “Finally,” she whispered under her breath, lips curving into a small smile. “Finally, they know who she really is.” A seagull cried overhead, swooping low
The suite was dim except for the muted glow of the chandelier above, its golden light spilling across the polished marble floors. Lena paced back and forth like a storm trapped. Her shoes clicked sharply against the floor, each step echoing her frustration. Her nails dug into her palms as she clenched her fists tight, eyes blazing with fury.“I can’t believe it,” she hissed, more to herself than to Ethan on the couch. “They know, they actually know, after everything I’ve done to stay close, after all the careful planning, Clara ruined it.”Ethan leaned back lazily against the velvet cushions, one arm draped along the backrest, the other holding his glass. His dark eyes shimmered with amusement as he swirled the amber liquid before taking another slow sip. Unlike Lena, there was no storm in him, only cold calculation, like a predator who never needed to rush for his kill.“You’re wasting your energy, Lena,” he drawled, smirking faintly. “All that pacing won’t change the fact that t
The air inside the suite was so heavy that none of them could move, even though all their bags were already zipped and stacked by the door. They had been ready to leave minutes ago, but Lena’s revelation hung in the air like an invisible chain, shackling them to the floor.“She’s Ethan’s twin sister…” Lily finally whispered, her voice trembling, as though speaking the words aloud would make them more real.The others sat frozen in disbelief. Maya clutched the edge of the sofa so tightly her knuckles turned pale. Aiden was slumped forward, elbows on his knees, hands pressed over his mouth, staring at the ground as if it might split open and swallow him. Lucas and Liam stood near the window, their reflections etched against the glass, both twins wearing the same mask of shock and rage. Graham leaned back in his chair, arms folded, his eyes sharp and cold.“She lied…” Aiden finally muttered, his voice cracking. “All this time she looked me in the eye every single day and—” His voice
