The Royal Academy 23. Power over Feelings
[ Draken ] Vale City was known as the second capital of the Summer Kingdom. For the killer, whom we all assumed was the same person or group, to not only cross the border but also make it this far was deeply worrisome. And why the hell had no one been able to trace anything? We couldn't even identify what they were. There were no tracks, no scent, and no evidence whatsoever pointing to the culprit's identity. Judging by the state of the bodies, most people believed the attacks were the work of a vampire. Every victim had been found in the same condition, drained. Their skin was pale gray, and blackened veins spread beneath the flesh. There were deep puncture wounds on the victims' necks as well. But it made no sense. Vampires had not crossed into werewolf territory in over a century. Ever since the Blood Treaty, both races had remained within their own realms. The border was heavily guarded. Moreover, it was nearly impossible for a vampire to cross the border, remain in werewolf te
The Royal Academy 22. A Pattern
[ Draken ] The music inside the bar pounded like a heartbeat. The smell of perfume, alcohol, and sex hung thick in the air. I sat alone in the darkest corner of the private lounge with one arm resting against the leather couch while a glass of whiskey sat in my other hand. Women kept stealing glances at me from across the bar. I came here often. It was a place where everyone hid behind masks, keeping their identities a secret. Whenever I needed a woman, this was where I came. Unlike Ares, who slept with practically half the girls at the academy, I couldn't bring myself to get involved with students anymore. I used to have flings there too, but that ended badly thanks to that bastard, Ares. Since then, this place had become my escape. Even that had lessened over the past few months. There was a time when I craved a different woman in my bed every night. Maybe things changed because of the responsibilities my father, the king, had begun forcing onto my shoulders. I had one last yea
The Royal Academy 21. An Announcement
After the combat class, all of the students were told to gather in the hall where we had first assembled when we arrived at the academy. It was known as the Assembly Hall, a place where everyone was called whenever an important announcement had to be made. I couldn’t help but wonder what was so important this time. Lana, as usual, was brimming with excitement as we made our way through the hallway towards the assembly hall. Then, suddenly, I spotted Sage. She was heading towards the ladies’ washroom. "Go ahead" I said to Lana. "I’ll be there shortly." "Wait, where are you going?" she asked, but I had already turned away, hurrying after Sage. "Sage!" I called out to her, but she couldn’t hear me and turned into the hallway. I quickened my pace. The moment I turned into the hallway, I collided with someone. The impact wasn’t too hard, but it still made me stumble backwards. When I looked at the person, it was none other than Draken. My eyes widened in disbelief. Why did
The Royal Academy 20. A Match
It was late at night, and after returning from the dining hall, we had all settled into our beds. Now that I was alone in my bed, I picked up my phone and opened the app. Among the few books in my library, I looked at a particular cover. I tapped on it, and the book opened instantly. Scrolling to the end of the latest chapter, my eyes landed on the author's note. "Hello, my lovelies. How have you all been lately? Don’t forget to leave your comments. I’m always eager to hear from you." A small smile formed on my lips as I read the words. To everyone else, it was just another author’s note, but to me, it was a hidden message from my mother. She was a well-known fantasy novel writer, but she had kept her identity completely anonymous. Over time, we created our own secret way of communicating through cryptic messages hidden in the comment sections of her books. It sounded strange, but it was very effective and safe. Quickly, I typed a comment. "I loved the chapter. It’s amazing...
The Royal Academy 19. Another Eventful Day
"I think we should select one species each for this project." Lana chimed in. Of course, she wasn’t someone to be left behind. I was kind of relieved that both of my partners were serious about studies and that I wouldn’t have to do everything alone. "Sure. So, what species will you choose?" Adam raised a brow at Lana. "Of course, witches," she said proudly, making Adam and me chuckle. "Of course you will." He then looked at me. "And you? What will you choose?" "What will you choose?" I asked him instead. "Umm... werewolves?" "Okay, then I choose... Demons?" "I thought you would choose vampires," Lana blurted out. "But Demons are cool as well." She grinned excitedly as if we were actually going to the realm of the Demons. "Okay, so it’s final then?" Both Lana and I nodded together. "Final." Moments later, we sat down with books on the three different species and began taking notes. .... "What’s that?" Lana asked, drawing our attention as we both turned to lo
The Royal Academy 18. Frustration
Just as we thought we might have heard wrong, we heard it again. A girl’s yelp then the word, "please". I narrowed my eyes and, without thinking, approached the door, pushing it open. "Eloise, wait…" Lana tried to stop me, but it was too late. It was an empty classroom. At the far end of the room, a small bulb lit up a corner, leaving the rest of the space in near darkness. I clenched my jaw when I spotted them. All of their eyes were on me, but no one said anything. "What’s going on here?" I asked, stepping inside and approaching them. I noticed one thing...there was no scent. They had concealed their scent. A high bench was placed against the wall, on which Victoria and two of her lackeys sat. In front of them was the blonde girl from the canteen, the one who had raised her voice against Piper and ended up being bullied by them. Sage. Her name was Sage. She was being held down by one girl, while another stood beside her holding a marker pen. "Eloise." Lana grabbed
The Royal Academy 17. No Special Gift
"Adam Reed." "Hey... our project partner," Lana whispered, nudging me as soon as Professor Rowan called Adam’s name. I nodded, my eyes following him as he stepped onto the stage. Unlike most of the other students, who were visibly tense, Adam looked almost… relaxed. Professor Rowan folded his
The Royal Academy 16. Special Power Class
"You all possess gifts. These gifts are none other than powers. Some of you inherited them from your bloodlines… some have only recently awakened. Some of your powers are dangerous enough to kill you...or someone else, if mishandled. And in this class, we will learn to control those powers and awake
The Royal Academy 15. No One Knew
"Seriously? Are you seeking justice here… for an evil man?" Emily scoffed, and the class erupted into mocking laughter. I clenched my jaw. Whenever I heard this story, I always felt curious about it. Killian Bloodthorne was undoubtedly a vicious man, but I didn’t like Viv Ironvale either. Just be
The Royal Academy 9. A Warning
I defended as Lana attacked me. She clearly didn’t know anything about sparring. Her moves were all over the place, like she was throwing her arms around aimlessly. I had no problem defending against her. Logan was looking at the girls, whereas the two Lycan princes guided the boys. After a while
