“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 corrected. “And the answer to your question is yes, thirteen of you can get the job done. I made sure to assemble twelve of the most powerful students, plus Mrs. Amelia as the team leader. That’s three from

  • Zeda And The Four Princes Of Shadowbrook Academy    INCONVENIENCE

    Everyone sat perfectly still, their eyes locked on the Director as he prepared to lay out the stakes of their sudden summons.Mr. Percival leaned back, the leather of his chair creaking under the weight of his authority. "There is a group of dangerous, rebellious, rogue supernatural beings causing trouble," Mr. Percival began, his voice devoid of emotion. "Our intel suggests they plan to attack a nearby human village by dawn tomorrow.“Their goal is to seize it, likely to turn it into a permanent refuge or a base of operations for further raids. I want you to stop them before they even reach the perimeter."The air in the room seemed to chill. Zeda felt a prickle of unease crawl up her spine. A village. Real people with real lives were being targeted by things they probably didn't even believe existed.Ava shifted in her seat, her fingers laced together on the polished table."Sir," she began, her voice respectful but curious, "are they planning to wipe out the entire population, or

  • 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

    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’s phone blared the next morning, jolting her violently from sleep. She squinted at the clock—6:56 AM. With a groan, she snatched the device to check the caller ID.She let out a low growl when "Manipulative Bastard" flashed on the screen.“You’re making it a habit of waking me up every time yo

    Zeda stood frozen, staring at the empty hallway arch where Vyr had stood mere moments ago. Her mind was a roller coaster, every loop filled with the searing image of his eyes. What the hell just happened?Before she could unfreeze from her shock, the door to her room swung open and Carrie stepped

  • Zeda And The Four Princes Of Shadowbrook Academy    “WHY DID YOU KISS ME LIKE THAT?”

    Zeda’s best part of the night came when everyone gathered to watch the film clip of the party drama behind a huge flat-screen TV, huge bowls of milky popcorn in hand.Vyr sat beside her, his arm crossed casually behind her seat, his hand enticingly brushing the nape of her neck and the edge of her

    It was seven PM when Kyle parked the limo in a reserved space in the vast plaza in front of The Gilded Lily, rounded the hood, and opened the door. Vyr stepped out and offered his hand to help her. She took it with a small, hopeful smile playing on her lips, wondering how long this gentle, warm s
