My chest tightened, heat prickling up my neck until it burned the tips of my ears. I couldn’t speak. I didn’t even know how to begin to answer a question like that. Memories of the kiss slammed into me. the roughness of his grip on my waist, the desperate heat of his mouth against mine, the way he’d pulled back with trembling fingers as if he hated himself for it. My pulse skittered painfully in my throat.

Talia smirked, her glossy lips curving as she tilted her head slightly, watching me with an amused glint in her amber eyes. The moonstone pendant around her neck caught the lamplight, throwing silver glimmers across her cheekbones.

“You’re blushing,” she teased, reaching out to flick a loose strand of my hair behind my ear. Her touch was featherlight, but it sent shivers down my spine. “I was just manifesting, Zara. Don’t look so scared.”

“Manifesting?” I managed to croak out, my voice cracking embarrassingly. My hands clenched around my books so tightly that the sharp corners du

  • The Top Boy Is My Mate   Chapter 80 ~ Becoming the villain

    Zara The world had a way of pressing its claws into me until I bled. And I was sick of bleeding. I’d spent weeks—months—walking around as though my skin were parchment, every new rumor searing me open, every lie carving deeper until I could hardly breathe. Alex’s whispers had become wildfire, spreading through the halls of Blackwood like smoke in the lungs. Wherever I went, eyes clung to me, not with awe, but with suspicion, hunger, glee at the idea of watching me crumble. I was done crumbling. If Alex wanted a villain, then she would get one. That thought sat inside me like poison at first, bitter and burning. But poison had its uses. Poison killed. Poison, when measured, was power. And I had nothing left to lose. . The day I returned to school after the break, everything was wrong. The corridors seemed narrower, the walls whispering with voices that weren’t kind. I could hear Alex’s venom dripping through the gossip: She used Jace. She staged the kidnapping for attention. S

  • The Top Boy Is My Mate   Chapter 79 ~ Alex’s revenge

    Alex POV The moment I step back onto campus after break, I can feel it—the whispers, the tension, the way everyone is watching Zara as if she’s some tragic heroine. Their eyes flicker toward her as though she’s delicate glass, just waiting to shatter. It makes me sick. She walks in a step slower than everyone else, her driver having dropped her off at the gates like some precious doll that needs protecting. She tucks her hair behind her ear, pretending not to notice the stares. But I see her. I always see her. She thrives on it—the attention, the sympathy, the narrative that bends itself around her fragile shoulders. Almost kidnapped. Poor Zara. What a joke. The rumors already circulate in soft, pitying tones: how a black car tried to take her, how Zarek saved her, how she was so brave. Brave. As if she didn’t orchestrate the entire thing just to cement her place in this school, to glue herself tighter to the dragon boy’s side. And I’ll make sure everyone knows it. . The cafe

  • The Top Boy Is My Mate   Chapter 78 ~ Splintered loyalities

    Jace POV The first morning back after the two–week break felt wrong. The air around Blackwood Academy was the same as always—but the energy wasn’t. It carried whispers instead of laughter. Rumors slithered across the courtyard like snakes, curling between lockers, slipping beneath doorways, burrowing under skin. And every whisper had the same name threaded through it. Zara. I leaned against the rooftop railing, arms folded, eyes fixed on the gates below. From up here, I could see everything, the students trickling back, the gleaming black cars lined up along the drive, the clusters of friends reuniting. I was supposed to feel relief that things were returning to normal. I didn’t. Because nothing was normal anymore. I heard it in hushed voices. Did you hear? Someone tried to take her. No way, not Zara— The dragon prince was there, wasn’t he? Maybe he staged the whole thing. Every rumor was poison, and I swallowed each one until they sat heavy in my chest. I didn’t need proof

  • The Top Boy Is My Mate   Chapter 77 ~ Dragon’s bargain

    Zarek’s POV The street was still scorched where my fire had touched it. Smoke curled lazily from the asphalt, mingling with the acrid scent of singed flesh. Zara’s breathing was still ragged, uneven, her body trembling even as she tried to steady herself. Talia hovered near her, torn between concern and fear—the kind directed at me. I couldn’t blame her. She’d seen what I was. And Zara… Her wide eyes burned into me. Not gratitude. Not relief. Something sharper. More of suspicion. I looked away before I could dwell on it, before I let the faint tremor in my own hands show. Control. Always control. “Go home,” I told Talia, my voice low, and clipped. She hesitated. “But—” “Now.” My eyes flicked to hers, a deliberate threat woven in. Not for her, but for anyone who thought of lingering. She swallowed, nodded, and after a glance at Zara, hurried away down the street. That left just the two of us. I spotted her leaning against the marble column, her shoulders tight, her knuckles

  • The Top Boy Is My Mate   Chapter 76 ~ The almost kidnapping

    Zara’s POV The car suddenly went another crazy stop in front of us. Then quickly, the doors clicked open. One, two, three. Men climbed out, their movements too casual, too deliberate. At first, I thought they were just men. But then the wind shifted. The stench hit me like a slap. Sour and metallic, threaded with decay. A smell my wolf recognized before my mind could name it—rogues. My heart lurched into my throat. Talia’s body shifted in front of mine instinctively, protective without a thought. Her voice was steady, though I caught the tightness at the edges. “Zara… don’t panic. Just… keep walking.” But the men didn’t move aside. One of them stepped forward, his smile a parody of friendliness. “Evening, ladies. Out a bit late, aren’t we?” The words dripped with something oily. My hands clenched around my bag’s handles until my knuckles ached. “We don’t want trouble,” Talia said, her voice firmer this time. The man laughed, a guttural, coarse sound. “That’s the problem. W

  • The Top Boy Is My Mate   Chapter 75 ~ Whispers in the city

    Zara POV The days at home bled together like dull shades of gray. I’d thought coming back would give me a little peace after the chaos of the engagement party, but instead it felt like I was suffocating in my own silence. The walls of my father’s mansion carried whispers I couldn’t reach, secrets thick enough to clog the air. Aunty May tried—she really did. She’d bustle into my room, leaving fresh tea by my bedside, asking questions about my semester, my classes, my wolf run. But every time her words brushed too close to the truth, I swallowed mine whole. I couldn’t tell her about Atlas storming away from me, about the rogue wolf’s glowing eyes, about Jace showing up out of nowhere… about Zarek. Especially not about Zarek. But the silence was eating me alive. That morning, over breakfast, my tongue slipped before my mind could stop it. “Aunty May…” My fork clattered against the porcelain. “Do you know anyone named Mira Blackwood?” The name cut the air sharper than glass.
