“You know you can join us, Z?” Carrie said to Zeda, who was watching her dress for her shopping date with Rylan.

Zeda frowned and shook her head. “What? Isn’t it supposed to be a date?”

“It is,” Carrie shrugged, “but your mental health is just as important to me.”

“What’s that even supposed to mean?” Zeda chuckled.

“It means I’d rather you follow me than stay home all alone and let your mind drift back to Lucian and whatever happened to you two. Then you'd return to square one, wallowing in dep

  • Zeda And The Four Princes Of Shadowbrook Academy    LEADERS

    The heavy doors to the mage kingdom conference room groaned as they swung open, revealing a space that felt much older and colder than the rest of the building. A long, dark wood table dominated the center of the room, polished to a mirror finish that reflected the dim light. Nine chairs surrounded it—four on each side and a larger, more imposing head chair at the center. To the left, a tall, narrow window overlooked the front grounds, offering a view of the gray sky and the wet grass that shimmered under the damp air of the rainy season.Mr. Percival moved with a purposeful stride and settled into the head chair, his presence immediately anchoring the room, while Adrian took the seat closest to his right. Zeda hesitated for a heartbeat, her eyes scanning the empty chairs, before she finally settled into the seat beside Adrian. The proximity felt strange now—comforting yet tense after the kiss that had been so abruptly cut short.They sat in a silence so thick it was hard to breath

  • 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    THE LIABILITY

    “Does anyone have anything to say?” Mr. Percival asked, his gaze sweeping around the table. “Questions? Suggestions? Contributions?”“Yes, sir.” Kodak leaned forward. “Will fourteen of us be enough to get the job done?”“We are thirteen, actually. I am just directing the team,” Mr. Percival correct

    “Before I proceed with the details about the mission, I’d like to take us back to the party. Nothing happened again, as we had anticipated,” Mr. Percival began, his tone sober.“Oh, a lot actually happened, sir,” Torvin smiled cockily, and Zeda braced herself for a jab. “A Prince got his ass kicked

    Zeda and Carrie were twelve minutes late when they arrived at the administration building for the meeting.Zeda's heart pounded frantically as they entered the elevator that took them up to the conference room.Her eyes quickly scanned the large room as they hesitated shyly at the door.At the head

    “Zeda, look, I was just added to the Mixed Team!” Carrie exclaimed from across the room, springing to her feet and joining Zeda on the bed, her phone screen held out excitedly.Zeda sat up and looked. Carrie had been added to a group chat named The Mixed Team by Mr. Percival.“Wow, congratulations!
