Archer’s POV:

The sound of something breaking echoed through the training room. I stopped outside the doors. Another crash followed. Then a string of words that definitely weren’t appropriate for academy grounds. I pushed the door open slowly, wondering what I’d find on the other side.

Jasper stood in the middle of the training room, his silver hair falling messily over his forehead. Several practice weapons had been knocked from their racks, and one of the wooden benches had been shoved halfw

  • The Girl with the Violet Eyes    I’m sorry

    Jasper’s POV:Three miserable, agonizing days. That was how long I’d gone without really speaking to Aria. Every single day had been worse than the one before it.I’d tried to convince myself that giving her space was the right thing to do. That maybe she needed time to process everything. That maybe I needed time to accept that I wasn’t the only person bound to her. But the truth was much simpler.I missed her. I missed her laugh. I missed the way she looked at me when she thought I wasn’t paying attention. I missed the warmth of her body against mine and the quiet comfort that came whenever she was near. Most of all, I missed the connection between us.The mate bond hadn’t weakened because we’d fought. If anything, it had become unbearable. Every emotion she felt brushed against me. Every moment she was upset, I felt the faint echo of it. Every time she thought about me, I knew.I knew she was hurting. Because I was hurting too. I had spent three days torturing myself with the words

  • The Girl with the Violet Eyes    You chose her

    Aria’s POV:Two days…It had been two days since Jasper found out about Lucien. Two days since I had watched the hurt spread across his face after Lucien called me his mate. And two days since Jasper had walked away from me.The worst part was the bond. It wouldn’t let me forget him. Every hour of every day, I could feel the distance between us like an ache beneath my skin. The bond kept tugging at me, urging me toward him, telling me to fix what I’d broken. But every time I thought about going to him, I heard his voice again.Out of all the mates I could have got, I got one I have to share.The words still hurt. I knew he’d regretted them. I could feel it through the bond. But regret didn’t make them disappear. I pushed my fork around my plate without actually eating anything.The courtyard was crowded with students enjoying their lunch, but I barely noticed them. My mind was somewhere else entirely. How was I supposed to fix this?I hadn’t asked for three mates. I hadn’t chosen Jasp

    Archer’s POV:The sound of something breaking echoed through the training room. I stopped outside the doors. Another crash followed. Then a string of words that definitely weren’t appropriate for academy grounds. I pushed the door open slowly, wondering what I’d find on the other side. Jasper stood in the middle of the training room, his silver hair falling messily over his forehead. Several practice weapons had been knocked from their racks, and one of the wooden benches had been shoved halfway across the room.For a second, I simply stared at him. I’d never seen the fae heir lose control like this. Jasper was usually composed. Cocky. Annoyingly charming. Even when something pissed him off, he usually wore that infuriating smirk and acted like nothing in the world could touch him. Not today.“What the hell happened to you?” Jasper turned toward me.His blue eyes were blazing. “Leave.”I raised an eyebrow. “That’s not exactly an explanation.”“I said leave, Nightblade.” I stepped far

  • The Girl with the Violet Eyes    Regrets

    Jasper’s POV:I had never been this angry with Aria. That realization alone should have frightened me.I had spent most of my life being the charming one. The flirt. The fae heir who could smile his way out of almost anything. Anger had never been something I carried for long. Why waste energy being furious when a clever remark or a crooked smile could usually get me whatever I wanted?But this wasn’t something I could smile away.This was Aria. My mate. And apparently, I wasn’t the only one. I walked through the hallway without knowing where I was going, my hands clenched at my sides as Lucien’s words replayed over and over in my head.My mate.He had said it so naturally. So possessively.As if I hadn’t been standing there. As if Aria hadn’t already been mine. The thought was unfair, and I knew it. Aria wasn’t property. She had never been property. The bond between us didn’t give me ownership over her, and I would never want it to. But that didn’t make the pain any less real.I’d on

  • The Girl with the Violet Eyes    Not how I wanted this to go

    Aria’s POV:I had never understood how a single morning could change everything.Lying beside Lucien afterward, wrapped in the warmth of his arms, I had felt something I still couldn’t quite put into words. Our bond was different from Jasper’s. Where Jasper’s felt like sunlight spilling through an open window, warm and steady, Lucien’s was deeper. Darker. A storm beneath my skin that I could feel every time his emotions brushed against mine.His happiness. His possessiveness. His overwhelming need to protect me. I could feel all of it. And somehow, instead of frightening me, it made me feel safe.Maybe that was what terrified me most.Because now I had two mates. Jasper and Lucien. I had absolutely no idea how I was supposed to make any of this work.I sat quietly as I fixed my hair, staring at myself in the mirror while Lucien stood behind me. His arms slipped around my waist, pulling me gently against his chest.“You’ve been thinking too loudly.”I glanced at him through the mirror.

  • The Girl with the Violet Eyes    A little longer

    Aria’s POV:The morning light filtered through the heavy velvet drapes, casting long shadows across the room. I woke to the sensation of smooth skin beneath my fingertips. Lucien. I was tangled in his arms, my head pillowed on his chest, listening to the steady rhythm of his heartbeat. I traced the lines of his abs, following the hard definition with my eyes. It felt like a dream, a beautiful, terrifying dream that I wasn't sure I would ever wake up from.Yesterday was a blur of fire and ice. The blood. The intensity. The bond snapping into place. It had all been all-consuming. When our bond had finally cemented, it wasn't just a connection; it was an ocean. I could feel everything he felt. His hunger, his pride, his overwhelming need to possess me. It was different from Jasper. Jasper's bond had been a warm, steady light, grounding and comforting. Lucien's was a storm, wild and demanding. I knew Lucien cared about me, but I never thought it went this deep. I looked up to see Lucien
