I was about to speak again when Veylor’s thumb brushed my lips.

I felt my skin tingle with heightened awareness, and I couldn't help but shiver the more he stared at my lips and stroked them.

I could easily picture him gently caressing my inner thighs. And that was wrong. Very wrong…

My breath caught in my throat as his dark, intense gaze shifted from my lips to meet my wide, doe-like eyes. I hated how I was breathing heavily just from eye contact but this man before me commands every nerve in my body with his cold, gloomy presence.

I noticed him swallow visibly as if he was restraining himself from pulling me into his arms and devouring me but the raw hunger disappeared from his features in a minute.

I nearly begged him not to hold back as he stepped away from me until I realized I would be giving way for them all to take me at once.

“Lucan is your mate, but we will all claim you… one after the other, or together if you wish.”

“No, Veylor, please,” I said his name o

    I was so close to confessing that I wanted him to do everything he wanted to me. Sexually of course. That was how desperate I was for his cock now. Lucan Talon was a dangerous man who could do freaky things to me and my body because he knew he could and I would still want him regardless. His control over my body, my wolf, and my soul was unraveling—I could feel it in the roughness of his touch, in the way he pressed hungrily against my inner thighs. “Juno, why do you choose to drive me insane?” He rasped, his lips brushing over my throat as he squeezed my breasts harder. “Do you even know what you're doing to me?” I didn't know. I was an introverted teen, and a virgin until today, so I didn't know what I was doing to him. But I had to do seduction spells most of my teenagehood so I knew what the correct response should be. “Yes,” I whispered, pressing my wet pussy together as I arched into him “And I want more of you.” Lucan stared at me with a dark mischievous glint i

    Lucan smirked. His hand slid into his pocket as his gaze remained on me. “Why did you think I could teach House Pyra’s students? You can only instruct your own House students. To teach another would be… interesting. Only one person has ever been able to do that.” I wanted to ask if he meant the upriser… but I couldn’t speak.The question stuck in my throat, burning like fire.I swallowed hard, lowering my eyes. It made sense.Such a dangerous woman wouldn't be shackled by the House rules.“Of course,” He added, stepping closer, his arm sliding around my waist in a possessive manner. His embrace was firm, warm, and protective that I nearly leaned in. “I volunteered to be an instructor because of you.”My breath caught in my parched, sore throat after his shocking revelation. I couldn’t understand what he was saying nor could I imagine the weight of it. But I was curious about the reason. I wanted to know why he had taken on the burden of teaching– not for the House–not for power, bu

    Murmurs rippled around me as the students parted. I felt their stares like claws on my skin as he led me out of the hall. My pulse hammered louder with every step. I wanted to protest, to scream that I hadn’t meant to kill them, but my voice was gone. All through the walk from the hall back to the House, the instructor didn’t say a word. He kept his distance like I was some plague that might burn him too if he stepped too close. I wanted to ask where we were going, but the words jammed in my throat. It was hard to form even a sound. We walked down the corridor past the dorm buildings, and that was when we encountered Mistress Lune. She looked at me suspiciously as her silver robes brushed the floor. Although she was my friend and could almost be considered my godmother, I knew that in a moment like this, she held the authority of the House Head. “Instructor Varros,” she said, her voice calm but tinged with curiosity. “Why is Juno with you? Classes aren't dismissed yet.” Var

    I gasped quietly as the instructor’s voice echoed in the Hall like rolling thunder. “Today, we will read History books on rebellion.” “As House Pyra’s Initiates, you must learn not just how to wield fire, but how to become fire. You are trailblazers. Revolutionaries. Not meant for mortal skirmishes or petty power struggles. The true flame lies in your defiance. No one should ever control you. You are destined to shake the very foundation of the realms. Remember this: you are not who you think you are… not until you ascend, not until you become Apex.” I exhaled slowly, my chest tightening. Who am I, really? I had always desired to ascend and reach the Apex. Was that because it had something to do with who I was? Would I finally have to start taking the Crucibles seriously? Attending every ball, class, mastering my magic, climbing toward the destiny I truly wanted? Or would I just keep getting slutted out by the very men who ruled this place? My head was swimming with

    Lucan’s gaze hardened again, and before I could blink, his hand was on my throat, his body pinning me hard against the cold stone wall. My breath caught in a sharp gasp as his grip tightened, stealing the air from my lungs. “I won’t let you be consumed by memories of Eryx,” he growled, his voice low and deadly as his eyes burned into me. “Not when I can still shape you into what you’re meant to become.” My throat was throbbing and my voice shook with fear, but I still asked him the question troubling my mind. “Who am I meant to become? Her? Lucan locked eyes with me after that word. “Who’s this girl you all keep mistaking me for?” I demanded, my voice firmer than I expected. His eyes narrowed, calculating, like he was measuring how much I truly knew or how much he was willing to tell me. “You are meant to become more than Eryx’s Blood slave,” he said at last, “That’s why the Circle had to remove him from your life. You’re not his prey. You’re not a toy.” A memory flickered a

    Veylor’s golden gaze flicked to me, then back to Eryx. His deep, commanding voice rumbled with a final tone. “One hundred years. Sealed in your coffin. And when you wake, the Circle will judge you again.”Eryx’s cruel smile returned slowly. His dark-red eyes devoured me before he turned to Lucan, smirking victoriously. “Then one hundred it is. I’ll appear in your dreams, little Juno. Every fucking night.”My breath hitched at his words. My legs weakened at the thought that he could give me a hundred years of his life. A part of me wanted to scream at him for being insane, while another part of me whispered that it meant that I mattered to him.“Don’t—” My voice cracked as I took a step closer to him. “Please, Eryx. Don’t say things like that. You make it sound like I’m worth decades of your life …and I’m not.”His eyes burned into me, sharper than any dagger. “Yes, You are.”I shook my head as I looked from him to all five of them. “Please,” my voice broke slightly. “One hundred yea
