The Top Boy Is My Mate Chapter 33 ~ The Gathering
Zara Midnight…. The clocks tolled, each heavy note vibrating through the silent halls of my room like a pulse. I crept from my room in stockinged feet, every nerve straining at the faintest sound. My heart beat so loudly in my chest I was sure the sentry wolves patrolling the eastern grounds could hear it. My fingers curled around the invitation now in my pocket, crumpling its black paper edges.I changed into a simple robe and slipped outside. Talia’s words haunted me with each step, echoing beneath the hush of the moonlit corridor. But my curiosity burned hotter than fear. Hotter than guilt. I climbed the stone stairwell to the East Tower, each step icy against my soles. As I rose higher, a strange warmth curled around me, thick and perfumed. My throat tightened. When I reached the landing, a door loomed before me. Carved oak darkened by centuries, with a brass handle polished to a golden gleam by generations. I hesitated. Shadows flickered beneath the crack of the door, danci
The Top Boy Is My Mate Chapter 32 ~ The temptation
Zara I was halfway through translating my Herbal Theory notes into clean scripts when I heard her approach. Her footsteps were quick, purposeful, the soles of her black shoes clicking softly against the marble library floor. I didn’t look up. I didn’t have to. Her scent – rose, honey and citrus – drifted before her. “Zara,” Alex said softly, too softly. I kept writing, ignoring how my fingers trembled slightly against the pen. The east library was mostly empty at this hour, golden light pouring in through its long stained glass windows. Dust motes floated like spectres in the dying sun. She slid into the seat across from me, dropping her satchel on the table with a dull thump. I watched from the corner of my eye as she pulled out a sleek black envelope, identical to mine. Her nails were painted silver today, short and neat, as if she’d filed them freshly for this conversation. “It’s not that deep, Zara,” she said, leaning back and crossing her arms casually. “The Halves isn’t som

Zara I hadn’t realised how accustomed I’d grown to the ache in my ankle until it was gone. Three days later, the healer’s concoctions had erased every bruise, every swelling, every hint of my failure in the forest. My leg felt light again, almost too light, as if it no longer belonged to me. But Talia refused to let me walk alone. Each time I stood, she appeared by my side, fingers curling into mine, her head brushing my shoulder, like she was terrified I’d vanish without her noticing. Breakfast was a quiet affair. Rain pattered against the high glass windows, streaking outside in blurred silver. Students murmured sleepily over bowls of oats and blood fruit(watermelon). I poked at mine with a fork, watching the pink juice seep into the grains until it looked like shredded flesh. I pushed the bowl away, my stomach curling. “Eat,” Talia said softly. “You’ve been skipping meals.” “I’m fine.” I forced a smile and reached for my water instead. She watched me for a moment longer before
The Top Boy Is My Mate Chapter 30 ~ Fractured dawn
Zara When I opened my eyes, all I saw was grey light filtering through the thick canopy above me. For a moment, I thought it was still night. But the shadows had softened into an ashen dawn, fog weaving through the trees like ghosts returning to their graves. I felt weightless. My head lolled against something hard yet warm, my cheek pressed to a broad chest that rose and fell steadily. The smell of rain-dampened cotton, scented laundry soap, and pine scent wrapped around me. My body shivered against the cold air biting at my soaked uniform, but his arms tightened around me, pulling me closer against his warmth. Atlas. I knew it was him before I even registered the silent fury in his clenched jaw, the stubborn set of his brows, the subtle scowl twitching at his lips as he walked. His strides were fast, purposeful, each step jolting my bruised leg painfully, but I didn’t complain. I couldn’t. My lips were numb, my tongue felt like lead. The pain in my ankle was a dull throb compar

Atlas’s POV We broke the hug. I watched her face change, her eyes widening in shock, the dim silver moonlight catching on the tears streaming down her cheeks. The rain hammered against the forest canopy above us, soaking my hair flat against my forehead. Thunder rolled, deep and rattling, shaking the ancient trees around us. I knew it sounded insane. Even to me. But every word I’d just said was true. “I care about you,” I repeated, my voice low and raw. “I really do.” Her lips trembled. She winced, shifting her leg away from my touch, her gaze dropping to her ankle. Even in the gloom, I could see how swollen it was, the skin around it already turning a dark, mottled purple. I frowned, kneeling on the wet mossy ground to get a better look. The mud soaked through my sweats, cold and cloying against my knees. “Shit,” I muttered under my breath. “It’s already bruising this bad.” Lightning forked across the sky, illuminating her tear-streaked face. She was staring at me with this lo

Zara’s POV The results came out at dawn. The air was sharp with frost, mist curling around the notice boards. Students gathered in hushed clusters, their breaths fogging as they scanned the parchment pinned under glass. My stomach twisted as I pushed through them, ignoring Nova’s smug smirk and Seraphine’s quiet giggle. My eyes flicked down the list until they landed on my name: Zara Blackwood – PASS (Remedial Trial Required) Remedial Trial. My heart sank into my shoes. “How did it go, huh?” Nova purred behind me, her syrupy voice cloying against my ear. “Heard you screamed so loud the whole forest woke up.” I ignored her and walked away. Talia called out as I passed. “Zara—hey, don’t let it get to you, okay?” I gave her a tight smile, but it fell before it reached my eyes. Inside, I felt numb. I’d done everything they asked, fought shadows and ran until my lungs bled, yet it still wasn’t enough. Just because I didn’t return with my partner? 🜃 Pairing Announcement That afte
