Maria lay curled on the cold, damp concrete, her cheek pressed into the grit. Every breath stung her lungs.

The rope at her wrists had rubbed her skin raw, and the nylon around her ankles cut into the soft flesh beneath her gown.

She barely felt it anymore. Just numbness. And the weight of her belly, low and taut, a reminder she could not afford to surrender.

Her gown—what was left of it—clung to her with sweat and grime, the thin cotton damp with something she ho

    The slam of the front door echoed through the house. Groceries hit the kitchen counter with a thud. "Mom sent me," Maria called lazily, voice light — masking the twist of nerves already tangling in her gut. "Said you two eat like pigs and need a woman’s touch before you kill yourselves." The shower was running upstairs — Johan, oblivious, humming tunelessly through the noise. Maria turned, already rolling her eyes and nearly crashed straight into Luca’s chest. He was still in jeans and a loose black tee, controller abandoned on the couch, hair messy like he'd been dragging his hands through it. Big hands caught her waist, steadying her. "Hey, baby girl," Luca murmured, bending to kiss her forehead, all sweet, brotherly affection. Maria didn’t even hesitate. She grabbed the front of his shirt and hauled him down, crushing her mouth to his. The kiss exploded between them — hot, messy, Luca chuckling low as he let her have her way. "Fuck, you’re trouble," he breat

    A week had passed. Thornecrest Academy was no longer just an elite institution, it was a crime scene. The kind you couldn’t wash clean. Yellow tape choked the hallways. Classrooms once filled with privilege and promise now echoed with silence. Security cameras hung like vultures on cracked ceilings. The air reeked of antiseptic and fear. The weight of whispers pressed on every wall. Investigators moved like vultures—note pads, gloves, dead eyes. Reports piled up like corpses. The disappearance of Sarah Hensley, still unsolved, still unspoken. The grisly deaths of Julia Summers and Jon Mitchell, hastily declared “accidents” by a press team that hadn’t stopped shaking. The murder of Victor Save, found behind the athletics building with his skull caved in like a melon. The House Phantom files, hacked and leaked by Miriam —now national new

  • THE PRICE FOR HIS NAME    194: Siege At Thornecrest

    It began with thunder.Not from the sky, but from the academy’s walls.At 3:17 a.m., the night shattered.Gunfire. Screams. The hiss of smoke grenades. Sirens that didn’t belong to any school system.Students jerked upright in their beds, sucked from sleep into nightmare. Eyes wide. Rooms dark. The ground quaked beneath them, windows trembled in their frames—then burst.The dorm alarms wailed.Thornecrest Academy, the most prestigious school on the Eastern Seaboard was under siege.Doors slammed shut. Reinforced locks sealed dorms from the inside. Some students cowered under beds, others threw themselves into closets, phones shaking in their hands. Red tracer rounds split the air outside their windows. Shadows sprinted across the courtyard. Marble columns cracked.War had come to their ivory tower.In House Six, the quake jolted them like a fist to the chest.Miriam burst in

    Xavier, now fully conscious and swaddled like a smug cryptid in three blankets, finished sipping the last of his juice like it was a victory toast.“It was Edwards Kale,” he said simply, as if announcing the weather.The silence that followed could’ve sliced atoms. Even Samuel stopped spinning his screwdriver.Miriam's gaze lifted, her fingers pausing mid-pack on the portable X-ray machine. “He’s the one who injected you?” Her voice was low, clipped. Dangerous.Xavier nodded slowly, resting his head against the back of the couch like someone exhausted by treason.“Because he doesn't want to be betrayed,” he said, each word quieter than the last. “All the house masters. Including Principal Whitmore. We’re under his control. He microdosed us with ricin—just enough to keep us obedient. Just enough to kill us if we ever... get ideas.”Fiero stood frozen. His jaw clenched, fists balled so tight his knuckles were bloodless. The shadows

  • THE PRICE FOR HIS NAME    192: On Ice

    The industrial freezer door hissed open like it was sighing in disappointment. A wall of cold smacked Xavier in the face. Hard. Like karma. Or Joy on a bad day.“Alright,” he muttered, stepping in. “Let’s see if freezing to death is as fun as it sounds.”The cold was immediate, aggressive, like it had a personal grudge. He stripped off his jacket and shirt with exaggerated flair, like he was performing in a very sad, very illegal burlesque show.Miriam didn’t even glance up. “Try not to die dramatically. We still need your organs functioning.”“Encouraging, as always,” Xavier muttered, teeth already chattering. “Go on then. Remind me why this was the genius plan.”Miriam adjusted her glasses and pulled out a syringe like she was about to give a lecture and a flu shot. “Step one: freeze you. Step two: slow the ricin. Step three: hope House Six’s luck hasn’t completely run out this semester.”“Step four?” he asked, breath fogging.“Step four is optional: survive.”“Ah,” he said through

    “Did anyone tie up Hannah?” Moses asked casually, already adjusting the cuffs of his gloves as though this was just another Tuesday.Mika groaned mid-stride. “Ugh. No. Of course not. Because tying up potential traitors isn’t my entire brand.” She spun on her heel with a dramatic sigh and stalked back the way they’d come, gum snapping with irritation.Fiero didn’t even glance up. “Miriam. Hallway cameras?”“Disabled them five minutes before we left,” she replied, fingers already moving over her tablet with that eerie, fluid speed she never bragged about. “They’ll loop for the next twenty.”The rest of House Six moved in like a well-oiled strike force—black-gloved, jaw-locked, every expression wiped clean. The House Elect dorm was still. Not empty. Just… too still. There was a hum in the air, a tension so dense it felt like the walls were holding their breath.Inside the common room, three figures turned to face them. Sophia Belrose and Eddie Lancaster stood tensely by the fireplace

    Miriam locked her door. Again.She didn’t know why she even bothered.She should have known better by now.She lay down, staring at the ceiling, trying to breathe past the feeling—that feeling, the one that had been creeping under her skin ever since Samuel decided she belonged to him.But tonight

    Fiero dropped his phone onto the bed with a dull clunk, the sound swallowed by the plush sheets beneath it. He didn’t move. Didn’t speak. Just sat there, the tension crawling beneath his skin like static, fingers twitching at his sides. Then without looking, he reached for her. Joy. Already curl

    The twins had gone to bed, leaving the house draped in silence.Not a comforting kind.The kind that pressed against the walls, thick and watching—like even the furniture was holding its breath. Somewhere in the distance, the dishwasher hummed and clicked through its final cycle
