How are you feeling now?” Zeda asked Lucian on their way to the meeting an hour later. Shane was driving, and Carrie was riding shotgun.

She and Carrie had helped him get to his house in a cab, where a worried Shane had been waiting. She had kept him company after he freshened up and Carrie had quickly prepared a meal for them all.

“Better,” Lucian replied with a deep sigh. “But it will probably take a day or two before I regain my full energy.”

“That means you have to rest and avoid any energy

  • Zeda And The Four Princes Of Shadowbrook Academy    STAKES

    Zeda watched the warmth drain from Adrian’s face as he pulled away, his focus shifting entirely to the phone vibrating in his hand. A deep frown creased his forehead, and the air between them—which had been soft and electric just seconds ago—suddenly turned cold and professional. Before she could find the words to ask who was calling, Adrian answered, his voice dropping into a respectful, measured tone as he greeted Mr. Percival.Zeda stood there, her heart still hammering against her ribs from the kiss, but the romantic haze was already evaporating. She understood that look on Adrian's face; it was the expression he wore whenever duty called, and the fact that Mr. Percival was calling personally meant something significant was happening or about to happen. She decided to wait in silence until the call was over, but she didn’t have to wait long. The conversation lasted less than thirty seconds, ending with a sharp click that left the room feeling emptier than before.When the call

  • Zeda And The Four Princes Of Shadowbrook Academy    DEEP CONFESSIONS

    “It happened on her birthday,” Adrian revealed. “We had a three-day mixed team mission and the second day was her birthday. Mr. Percival respected our relationship and gave us the option of opting out of the team and celebrating together because obviously, no one wanted to spend their birthday in pain while fighting on a war front with the potential of being killed. Ava agreed, but I didn’t. I didn’t think it was right for a leader of one of the kingdoms to be unavailable when needed by the academy—to be unable to help because of a birthday party. I told her that I’ll make it up to her when I return and went for the mission while she stayed behind.”“I guess she didn’t want anything to do with you when you returned?” Zeda asked.Adrian nodded. “When I came back, she was livid. She said I valued my position, title, and reputation over our relationship. That she had willingly adapted to be with me, but I’ve never done that—never sacrificed for our relationship,” he chuckled without humo

  • Zeda And The Four Princes Of Shadowbrook Academy    REVELATIONS

    The awkward silence stretched on and unlike Torvin, Adrian had no intention of diffusing it, so Zeda decided to take the matter into her own hands.“You’re still angry with me,” she sighed, shaking her head.“I’m not,” Adrian denied and rose to his feet.“That’s a lie, you are,” she followed him. She wasn’t going to let the little thing they had fizzle off just because of an insignificant argument.“And why would I?” He stared at her, looking insulted.“Because of our little argument after the team meeting. It wasn’t the best of goodbyes, was it?”“So you think I’m angry because you wouldn’t let me drive you back home and went to look for your ex instead after hearing about his departure?” He scoffed. “No, I’m not.”“Then why….” She shook her head in frustration. “Never mind, let’s just start the training already.”She began walking out of the office to the training ground then stopped abruptly at the door and wheeled around to face Adrian, who hadn’t moved an inch from where he stood

  • Zeda And The Four Princes Of Shadowbrook Academy    AWKWARD SILENCE

    When Zeda got home, Carrie was already back and checking out several outfits she had bought in front of the mirror.“That looks stunning and sexy,” Zeda commented, admiring the two-piece blue crop top and skirt Carrie was currently wearing.“Really?” Carrie grinned at her, striking a pose.“Really.”“Well, I’m glad you think so, because I got you one, too,” Carrie revealed, digging out a red version of the same outfit.“You can’t be serious!” Zeda’s eyes widened as Carrie threw the clothes at her. Zeda caught them and took a closer look. She loved the soft ribbed knit texture of the fabric, and the stud designs around the neckline, just like Carrie’s, were beautiful.“I promised you a gift, didn’t I?” Carrie winked. “And this is what I pulled. Figured we could twin someday. Oh, and look...” Carrie brought out two matching pairs of white sneakers and handed her one. “Got us the same footwear, too.”“Oh my God, Carrie, this is amazing. You’re amazing. The best!” Zeda dropped the clothes

  • Zeda And The Four Princes Of Shadowbrook Academy    THE RIGHT CALL

    Zeda kissed Torvin back immediately, her hands moving over his body and enjoying every bit of muscle under her palms. He pulled her closer to him, and she could feel every part of his strong body against hers. His tongue flicked across her lips seeking an entrance, and she opened up for him, their tongues playing with each other as the kiss deepened.He flipped her over so that she was beneath him this time, his eyes bright with lust.“Zeda, you taste like heaven,” he groaned, trailing kisses down her neck.Zeda gasped and clutched his head, holding him to her neck and running her hands through his hair that was still damp from his shower, loving how silky it was. His hand disappeared underneath her T-shirt and cupped her breast through her bra.“Torvin...” she moaned his name, her back lifting off the couch and pressing into him.But then out of nowhere, like a cold splash of ice water, Lucian’s face—the way he looked when she told him she didn’t love him—appeared in her mind. Sudd

  • Zeda And The Four Princes Of Shadowbrook Academy    ROPE FROM THE ABYSS

    “Debtor?” Torvin sounded clearly surprised when he answered the call.“Hi,” Zeda bit her lip, not knowing what to say all of a sudden.“Whoa, to what do I owe this rare privilege, Your Majesty?” he asked, and she rolled her eyes with a smile, all her nerves suddenly gone.This was Torvin; there was no nervousness around him. At least, when he wasn’t angry.“Uhm... are you at home?” she asked.Torvin paused, and she could imagine the puzzled look on his face before he finally replied. “Yeah. Why?”“I want to come over, if you don’t mind,” she let out a breath the moment the words left her.Torvin paused again. “Hello? Please, can you give Zeda the phone now?”She laughed at that, and he joined her.“Stop it, I’m serious,” she said, wiping a stray tear of laughter.“You are? Talk about the biggest shock of the year,” he said. “Why, though? Am I in trouble?”“Nah, you have nothing to worry about,” she sighed and shrugged. “I’m just bored. And then I was thinking now is the best time for

She hated Lucian more for trying to lure her ba

    “Lucian…” Zeda moaned as Lucian trailed kisses down her neck, her body quivering with need as his expert hands masterfully skimmed over her body.She urged him toward the bed with her weight, and a low chuckle rumbled in Lucian’s chest as his back hit his bed with Zeda straddling him.Memories of h

But instead of being surprised or providing an explanation of why she cou
