Zeda’s choice prompted a varied collection of reactions. Mr. Percival leaned back in his seat, completely engrossed, with a hint of genuine excitement in his eyes. Carrie gave her a supportive smile.

Torvin whistled and leaned forward, resting his chin on his hands, looking like he was about to watch his favorite, long-awaited movie. Adrian looked resigned, clearly unhappy with her decision, while Lucian wore an expression that suggested she was being foolish.

“Atta girl,” Sloan said with fake

    Zeda watched Adrian and Oliver jogging back toward them after surveying the primary trail ahead.As they approached, Adrian called the unit in with a sharp gesture."Our targets are closing in fast. They are coming in three SUVs."He swept his silver gaze over Zeda, Emily, Sam, and Oliver."The plan is to ambush them while they are still trapped in the vehicles. That way they will have zero time to defend themselves before we finish them off."He straightened and squared his shoulders."I will lead the attack. The second my first onslaught hits, everyone will follow suit immediately. Is that clear?""Yes, Prince," they murmured in agreement.Adrian nodded firmly."If everything goes to plan, this mission could be over in less than an hour."He turned his head toward the tall water mage beside him."Oliver, pass this information to the other units stationed down the line and come back to join me."Oliver nodded and sprinted off to circulate the plan.Zeda frowned, stepping forward."Am

  • Zeda And The Four Princes Of Shadowbrook Academy    WAITING GAME

    Zeda walked down the quiet corridor and stopped outside Adrian’s door.She stood there for a second listening closely but heard nothing from inside.She took a deep breath and knocked hard against the wood.Nothing happened.She knocked again. Still nothing.On her third heavy rap the wooden frame finally rattled.The door clicked open and Adrian stood in the frame looking half asleep with his blonde hair tossed in every direction.His silver eyes widened the second he saw her standing there.His gaze dropped down taking in her bare legs and the short silk lace of her nightgown.His mouth parted slightly as if he wanted to say something but Zeda didn’t give him the chance.She thrust her phone right toward his chest."Mr. Percival wants to speak with you.""Mr. Percival?" Adrian frowned blinking away his sleepiness.Zeda just shoved the phone closer against his bare chest until his fingers had to wrap around it.He stepped fully out into the hallway wearing only loose cotton trousers

  • Zeda And The Four Princes Of Shadowbrook Academy    BEHIND CLOSED DOORS

    Lucas exhaled heavily, breaking the tense silence in the hallway. “Since everyone has been paired, can we finally go inside and get some rest? I really need to sleep.”A chorus of tired mumbles and nods spread across the hallway in immediate agreement.Adrian reluctantly dragged his burning gaze away from Zeda, turning his attention to the rest of the unit. “Everyone head inside and get enough sleep so you’re ready for tomorrow.“We leave at exactly 6:30 AM, which means everyone needs to be downstairs in the lobby at least five minutes before then. Is that clear?”“Yes, Prince Adrian,” the group chorused in unison.With one final, lingering look at Zeda and Oliver, Adrian turned on his heel and stepped into the room he had inspected earlier. Ava followed closely behind him, a smug smile playing on her lips before she shut the door.Ignoring the lingering stares around her, Zeda headed straight for the last room at the end of the corridor. Oliver stepped in right after her, pushing the

  • Zeda And The Four Princes Of Shadowbrook Academy    ADRIAN’S CHOICE

    A heavy silence settled over the second-floor corridor as everyone waited for Adrian to answer Oliver’s question.Before Adrian could even open his mouth, Zeda quickly staked her claim. “I’ll be staying with Prince Adrian,” she declared, stepping forward.A collective gasp rippled through the hallway, and half of the team widened their eyes in complete shock at her bold statement.Zeda didn't care about their reactions. She kept her chin up, looking straight at Adrian as she smoothly justified her words. “Adrian is my assigned tutor, and he agreed we would use our downtime to work together on controlling my elements. It’s the best way to make sure I’m properly prepared for tomorrow’s mission.”Before Adrian could respond, Ava immediately interjected, her voice sharp and loud enough for everyone to hear. “That won't be necessary.”Zeda whipped around, glaring at her with cold irritation.Ava held her gaze without flinching, stepping up beside Adrian. “No matter how much you and Adrian

  • Zeda And The Four Princes Of Shadowbrook Academy    INVITATION

    Zeda pulled her phone out from her side pocket to view the unexpected text message that had just come in. The moment her eyes landed on the sender's name, a wide, genuine smile broke across her face.It was Torvin.She tapped on the notification to read the message:DEBTOR, I HEARD YOU ARE OUT ON A MISSION. MAKE SURE TO KICK SOME ASS FOR BOTH OF US AND PLEASE BE CAREFUL. EVEN IF YOU HAVE TO STAY CLOSE TO THAT BOOKWORM.Zeda laughed softly at his nickname for Adrian, shaking her head at the rolling-eyes emoji he had attached to the end.“Now this is how you show you care for someone,” She mumbled quietly to herself, the bitter sting of how Adrian had brushed her aside earlier instantly softening.With her mood instantly elevated, she dialed Torvin’s number without a second thought, not caring at all that she was currently sitting in a hotel lobby surrounded by her fellow mages.She grinned as he picked up on the first ring.“Hello, Master,” Zeda chirped happily.Torvin chuckled over th

  • Zeda And The Four Princes Of Shadowbrook Academy    TURNED DOWN

    The motor coach finally halted in front of a rustic, two-story local hotel tucked on the edge of the remote town. It was a faded brick building with peeling beige paint along the window frames and a cracked concrete parking space out front.Zeda stepped out onto the damp gravel, letting out a long breath as she stretched her stiff limbs.The air here was cool and thick with the scent of wet earth. Heavy, dark clouds were gathering rapidly across the evening sky, slowly swallowing the last traces of daylight and turning the air cold.A heavy rainfall was definitely not far off, and she was relieved they had made it in time.She was looking forward to curling up in bed, hopefully with Adrian keeping her warm once the chill set in.Her eyes drifted to Adrian as he walked several paces ahead of the group, his tall frame cutting through the dim twilight. He marched straight toward the hotel lobby without a single glance back to see if she was following or sticking close to him like she was

    Zeda called Torvin when she arrived at his imposing door. He didn't answer. Instead, the door swung open immediately, and he stepped out as if he’d been waiting on the other side. He looked like he’d just stepped out of the shower—his hair was damp, and a fitted gray T-shirt stretched across his d

    “Coming with you?” Zeda frowned, pulling the towel tighter around her damp body.“I know how stubborn you are, kid. That’s why I got here first before going there, and sure enough, here you are, looking…” his eyes raked over her again, slowly, and she could swear she felt the towel loosen. “...well

  • Zeda And The Four Princes Of Shadowbrook Academy    THE HIDDEN TRUTH

    Zeda woke up from her third round of sleep on Wednesday afternoon. She had indulged in nothing but eating and sleeping. It was a free day: No classes, no crew rehearsal, no training with Adrian. She hadn't even cracked the spine of a single book, let alone finished reading the five enormous volum

    “Can you please drive faster?” Zeda pleaded with the cab driver, who was singing loudly and cruising along as if he were on a Sunday sightseeing tour.She had wolfed down her meal at a nearby restaurant to try and arrive for training on time. She didn’t want to be late for her first session, or gi
