Every time he shut his eyes, Nadia’s pained, angry face hung at the forefront of his mind. Not just for the fact that he’d betrayed Nadia’s trust. That
Nadia I don’t know how I made it back to the dormitory. If Freda had brought me any deeper into the woods, I probably would’ve been too shaken to find my way out. Panic was greying out my vision and pushing ice through my veins. I’d been threatened countless times before, by plenty of people who h

KaelKael should have stepped in sooner.As Orion’s assistant, it was part of his duty to prevent accidents during training. To stop any of the pent up students from taking it too far with one another. But Nadia’s endurance had shocked him. Intrigued him.He had let it go too far, too caught up in w
