Kaelen moved first, and he moved wrong.

Wren would think about that later, how a dragon three years trained in academy combat still threw himself at a masked stranger the same way any scared boy would, all instinct and no plan, because the person he was protecting had just been called hunted out loud for the first time in his hearing. He caught the nearest assassin across the shoulder and the two of them went down together into the wreckage of the window, glass grinding under them, and for one u

  • The Last Warden: Chosen by Four    Chapter 7: Lessons Nobody Volunteered For

    Aldric didn't send her back to her dormitory that night. He sent her to the infirmary instead, along with Kaelen, whose arm turned out to need eleven stitches and a great deal of insisting before he'd let the healer near it.Wren sat on the cot across from his, wrapped in a scratchy blanket someone had put around her shoulders without asking, watching a woman with silver hands stitch a dragon's shifter skin back together like it was ordinary Tuesday work. Maybe it was. Maybe that was the whole point of this place, that violence here got filed under routine the same way a skinned knee would anywhere else."You're staring," Kaelen said, not looking up."You threw yourself through a window for me.""I threw myself through a window at someone trying to kill you. There's a difference.""Is there?"That got him to look at her, finally, something unreadable moving behind his eyes before he answered. "No. I suppose there isn't." He flexed his hand once the healer stepped back, testing the sti

    Kaelen moved first, and he moved wrong.Wren would think about that later, how a dragon three years trained in academy combat still threw himself at a masked stranger the same way any scared boy would, all instinct and no plan, because the person he was protecting had just been called hunted out loud for the first time in his hearing. He caught the nearest assassin across the shoulder and the two of them went down together into the wreckage of the window, glass grinding under them, and for one useless second Wren just stood there watching it happen instead of doing anything at all.Rhys didn't throw himself anywhere. He put himself directly between Wren and the man with the etched blade and didn't move again, the way a door doesn't move once it's shut."Behind the desk." He said it without turning his head. "Now, Wren."She didn't argue. Six years of foster care had taught her exactly one useful thing in this moment, which was that when someone bigger and calmer than you tells you wher

  • The Last Warden: Chosen by Four    Chapter 5: The Bloodline They Thought Was Gone

    Headmaster Aldric did not believe in gentle explanations, and he proved it within the first ten seconds of all five of them standing in his office.“Sit,” he said, though only Wren actually did, perched on the edge of a chair that felt too formal for whatever was about to happen. The four heirs remained standing behind her, close enough that she could feel their attention pressing against her back like a physical weight. The office smelled of old parchment and something colder underneath it, like the room had been holding its breath for longer than she could guess. Aldric studied her for a long moment before he spoke again, and when he did, his voice carried none of the careful diplomacy she’d have expected from a man who ran a school this old.“Alliance Elite Academy was not built to educate supernatural students, Miss Hale. That has always been a convenient byproduct.” He folded his hands on the desk in front of him. “It was built four centuries ago for exactly one purpose. To watch

    Kaelen told no one what he’d felt in that corridor, but he stopped being subtle about watching her for it.Wren noticed within a day. He appeared at the edges of rooms she walked into, not quite approaching, not quite looking away when she caught him at it either, just present in a way that made the back of her neck prickle every time she felt his attention land on her. She told herself it was suspicion, that a dragon heir with her secret half figured out was simply keeping tabs on a potential threat. She almost believed it, right up until the other three started doing exactly the same thing, each in his own way, none of them explaining why.Lysander Vale was the first to make it obvious, though obvious for him apparently meant something closer to an ambush disguised as courtesy. He appeared across from her at dinner three days after the corridor incident, sliding into the seat like he’d been invited, which he hadn’t, and spent the entire meal asking her questions that sounded casual

  • The Last Warden: Chosen by Four    Chapter 3: Something Under Her Skin

    Three weeks into her first term, Wren had learned exactly two things about her own supposed magic. It refused to show up when she tried to summon it on command, no matter how many hours she spent in the practice yards attempting the basic exercises every other first year could do without thinking. And it apparently had opinions of its own about when it preferred to appear, opinions nobody had bothered consulting her on. She’d tried meditation exercises a kind upperclassman had suggested, tried the breathing patterns from her elemental theory textbook, tried simply wanting it hard enough in the dark of her room at night. Nothing worked. Whatever lived inside her clearly answered to a different set of rules than the ones this school seemed built around.She was still failing every practical exam. She’d stopped expecting otherwise.What she hadn’t stopped doing was walking the back corridor between the library and her dormitory after evening study hours, mostly because it was faster and

  • The Last Warden: Chosen by Four    Chapter 2: The Only Human in the Room

    Nobody handed Wren a rulebook when she arrived at Alliance Elite Academy, which she might have found insulting if she hadn’t quickly realized nobody else seemed to need one. Everyone around her had grown up knowing which doors not to open after curfew, which professors turned a blind eye to minor property damage, which welcome week traditions were fun in theory and genuinely dangerous in practice. Wren had none of that instinct. She learned the hard way, starting on day one, that ignorance here didn’t come with a grace period.The water balloon tournament should have been the easy part. It was billed on the welcome week schedule as exactly that, a tournament, students split into teams armed with buckets of water balloons on the academy’s central lawn. Wren had assumed, reasonably, that it would resemble the kind of game she’d played at exactly one foster placement’s summer barbecue, silly and slow and mostly an excuse to get soaked in July heat.It was not that.The moment the whistle
