SOMASunday morning brings a smile to my lips. I bounce around my room, half-listening to Jade talk about her date with Tristan. He might have fooled her with the excuse of needing some items off campus, but I know better.As much as I’m happy for her, I want to return to the annex. She talks about the new dresses, and I nod at the right times, making small sounds when it feels necessary.“My lady, are you going out?” she asks.I sling the backpack over my shoulder with a nod. “Yes, to read. The mid-semester exam starts in one week.”“Good luck. I know you can do
SOMA“We have enough privacy.” Sienna nudges my plate closer to me, eyeing it with obvious judgment. “Can you finish that?”It’s for Jade and me, but I can’t tell her that. Tristan will be sure to feed his mate, but in case he doesn’t, she’ll have food stored up in my room.“Not really,” I say. I reduce the toast and heap more eggs to balance the ratio. “I’ll be going to the library later, so I wanted to have something to eat there when I’m hungry.”Sienna laughs, and I almost confess the truth. I’m not a glutton, though the heap on the plate points to it.
SOMASomeone shakes me awake. I blink sleepily, frowning as everything comes into focus. Jade waves, her excitement so heavy it clears the sleep out of my face. I hold the cover to my chest, trying to remember what day of the week it is, and if I’ve missed anything. But it’s Saturday.“Good morning, my lady,” she says.“Morning,” I reply. Sliding off the bed, I stumble to the vanity and frown at my reflection. “What’s going on?”Jade stops behind me, doing well to stay hidden.“Tristan is going off campus this morning to get a few items,&r
SOMAThe buzz welcomes us into the cafeteria, but as soon as we draw closer to the lunch line, the noise dies, and everyone steps aside to make way for her. It’s automatic, different from how it happened with me.Is this the true power of a royal?Sienna must be used to it because she heads straight to the front. After receiving her food, she doesn’t pick up the tray, but drags me back to a lone table.Moments later, two students stop at our table with our trays. She dismisses them with a wave of her hand and digs into her food immediately.My gaze drifts back to the food station, where
SOMAOne week. I missed a full week’s worth of lectures. No one bats an eyelid as I weave through the throngs of students and enter my class. Jade insisted on staying back to study, but I suspect her decision was influenced by one prince.The class falls silent as I walk through the aisles. On the first row are my cousins. Their gazes sharpen, but they remain quiet. Sienna perks up in her usual spot, waving me over to the empty seat on her left. Dianna is missing, which explains her need for my company. Too bad I’m not in the mood to play listener to her or anyone else.As soon as I slide into the seat closest to the window, she leaves her position and settles down on my table.
BRYNNETristan walks into my room with a smug smile. He spent his evening with Soma, and now he doesn’t remember how to be a grump anymore. His pants hang low on his waist, and when he lifts his arms, I glimpse his tanned abs. He had better not have been showing off that much skin throughout their dinner, or I’ll skin him alive. I have a better build, but I’m not prancing around the house naked.As his smile stretches, I grab a pillow and hurl it at him. He stalks forward and catches it, aiming it directly at my chest. I flick it off before it lands, and he chuckles.“How’s she?” I ask. His bruise has fully healed.
