Zeda ended the call with Lucian, her cheeks warm and her heart fluttering. She realized how much she had missed him and how eager she had been to hear his voice.

“Was that Lucian?” Carrie asked. She had been watching her closely.

“Yeah, he asked if we could hang out tomorrow,” Zeda replied, trying to hide her excitement.

Carrie’s eyes widened. “Really? Like a date?”

“I don’t know, maybe,” Zeda shrugged. “I told him I have a busy day. I have to get my schedule from Adrian and then go to rehearsal with the crew.”

“And what did he say?” Carrie probed, leaning forward.

“He said he’d wait until I was done and then pick me up from the theater,” Zeda replied.

Carrie’s mouth formed a small “oh.” She sounded skeptical. “He seems desperate to see you, but I’m not saying you should read too much into it.”

“I understand,” Zeda said. “I’ll just see him and figure out what he wants.”

The next morning, Zeda stared at her wardrobe, frustrated.

    Mr. Carl’s phone rang, and he yelled, "Cut!" to answer it.The spell was broken. Zeda quickly pulled away from Vyr, her cheeks burning.Vyr turned away just as quickly, his mind reeling. He realized he wasn't just acting that scene.He had genuinely wanted to kiss her. He had wanted to know what she tasted like, the feel of her lips on his. He gritted his teeth at the thought. Zeda was going to be his weakness if he kept thinking of her this way, and he couldn't afford a weakness. He put on a blank expression, as if he hadn't wanted to make everyone disappear and kiss her for as long as he liked. As if he hadn't felt a strange vulnerability with her in his arms for the first time in his life."Alright, guys, we'll call it a wrap for today. I have an emergency to attend to," Mr. Carl said, ending the call.Zeda watched Vyr return to his seat, his hands in his jeans pockets. He didn’t even spare her a glance, as if nothing intimate had almost happened between them. A slice of hurt cr

  • Zeda And The Four Princes Of Shadowbrook Academy    THE LAST SCENE

    Zeda was forty-five minutes late when she got to the theater.The room fell silent as she walked in and she felt every crew member's eyes on her, judging her."The star of the show has arrived," Rylan said with a crooked smile, his voice dripping with sarcasm. Beside him, Draven chuckled.Vyr was between them, his black T-shirt hugging his lean, muscular body. He glared at Zeda when their eyes met, a dangerous glint in his red eyes.“Where have you been, kid?” he demanded. “You just wasted an hour of my time.”Zeda ignored him and began walking towards Mr. Carl, who looked the most calm about her lateness.In a split second, Vyr was in front of her, his movement a blur. She gasped and took a step back, amazed by how fast he was.“When I ask you a question, you answer me,” he said, his red eyes now glowing. “I’m not one to be ignored.”Zeda swallowed hard. She knew his vampire was close to the surface, but she wouldn’t cower or show him how afraid he made her.“I don’t answer to anyone

    I’M NOT YOUR PET, Zeda texted back, her fingers flying across the screen.A reply came instantly, a winky-face emoji attached. WE’LL SEE ABOUT THAT.Zeda gritted her teeth. WHO ARE YOU?PRINCE TORVIN, SAVE UP.AND IF I DON’T?YOU’LL END UP WISHING YOU DID.The threat made a shiver run down her spine. She saved his contact as "Manipulative Bastard.""Congrats, Zeda, you're the talk of the academy," Carrie said as Zeda walked into their room and flopped onto her bed.Zeda wasn't surprised. The videos of her run-ins with Vyr and Torvin were all over the internet. "I guess I'm screwed," she muttered."Maybe," Carrie sighed. "Torvin isn't someone who lets things go easily. He always gets what he wants. And Vyr, well, you're the first person to openly challenge him. I have no idea what he has planned for you.""But none of it was my fault. I didn't mean to break Torvin's car window, and Vyr was being a jerk," Zeda said."Tell me everything. The videos only show the middle of the action," Ca

    "Aren't you taking me with you?" Zeda asked, frowning as Adrian got into a white Aston Martin. "Obviously not," he said, shutting the door. "Hey, wait!" Zeda yelled, tapping his window. Adrian glared at her, rolling it down slowly. "Can I help you?" he asked, sounding annoyed. "Are you kidding me? You're supposed to show me around the mage kingdom and teach me things, like Mr. Percival said," Zeda reminded him, irritated. Adrian rolled his eyes. "Let's save it for another day. I've got something more important to do right now." Zeda glared at him. "Another day? We haven't even planned my training periods." She was eager to start. If she really had supernatural powers, then she wanted to access them quickly. Adrian let out a frustrated sigh and held out his hand. "Give me your schedule." "What?" Zeda asked. "Are you deaf?" he snapped impatiently. "I said, give me your schedule. I'll look at it with mine during my spare time and figure out some good days for

    Zeda followed Mr. Carl back to the administration building, heading for her meeting with Mr. Percival. Her phone was buzzing with messages from the crew's group chat, which Darcy had added her to. Vyr had gotten his way, and now both he and Zeda would play the lead roles in the drama for party night. Everyone in the chat was voicing their opinions, with lots of negative comments aimed at her."You don't have to worry too much about what the crew thinks about you, dear," Mr. Carl said as he drove. "You just need to focus on the drama and make it unforgettable. You'll be the first new student in Shadowbrook's history to be part of any event at the new intakes party."Zeda nodded, feeling a little better after his words. But then, acting with Vyr would be so hard. How long could she last without slapping him because of his arrogance?Zeda took a deep breath to calm her nerves as she got closer to Mr. Percival's office."Come in, Zeda," she heard his voice say before she even knocked
