"The world is a dark place for shifters." "Hunted, scorned, and driven to the brink of extinction, we look for ways to survive but find our choices narrowed to one or none. It's a dark world for creatures like us, yet we find hope in the legacy we hold. That one day we shall be as Selene was to Lysander, a ray of shining hope in the dark forest, the silver light of change on a chilly night, and the sweet sadness of discovery in the morning light. We cast our souls up in righteous prayer, our howls a chant to the moon and the crack-crack of our bones the only accompaniment fit to carry on such a solemn affair." The class is silent at the sound of my voice. "We are monsters, but yet we are kinder than most. We are demons, but we love and hold the hearts of angels in ours. It's a dark world for those like us..... but only if you do not see the light." I finish reading and take advantage of the pin-drop silence that has gripped the class to sneak a peek at the cover of the book. Ca

Jannete Argon stares at me from the window of the Dean's office and I give her a small nod before raising the windows of the car.She'll do perfectly. Jake, my driver sits in his seat and cocks an eyebrow up at me when the tinted glass is fully up. I nod at him and he reverses the vehicle, maneuvering his way out of the parking lot and navigating through the interlocked pathways of the Academy.It's surprising how many television-worthy things go on in institutions like this.It would make for a killer show.Jake interrupts my thoughts by clearing his throat and I raise my eyes slowly to look at his face through the head lens of the car. He looks nervous."Xavier has been on the line for a while now, sir. I asked him to hold on until your return. I don't know if he's still on the line."A flash of distaste crosses my lips and I close my eyes. My hands find their way to my temple and I massage it gently. "How long has he been on hold?"I hear Jake gulp before he answers. I already kn

"You're ready to agree to my terms I take it?" The young girl keeps her eyes on the floor and nods. It's barely been a day since I went to ask her personally for this and yet I was met with a refusal. She asked me to give her some more time to think about it, and I expected that she would want me to come back to her school and ask her again. There's a limit to the things I'll do to get what I want, but I was prepared to go after her twice just to make her agree. Now she's here, of her own volition, standing outside my gate, under the pouring rain, and looking as downcast as a cat. "Do you want to come inside?" She shakes her head and sniffles. "It's three in the morning. There are paparazzi around your house every minute of the day. If we're lucky they're all asleep by now. If we are not..........." She trails off and I hear another sniffle before she clears her throat again. "I don't want to be the center of gossip at school." I can almost taste the despair in her words but

"Miss Argon. I'm sure you know the people present here."I want to scoff at the Dean's words but my voice is stuck in my throat. I know there's little I can say when these two are around, but I want to say a lot of things. Oh, I want to say a lot of horrible things. I let myself get lost in the imagination of that for a while. My parents are here.My fucking parents are here! as well as their favorite daughter.I could tell them all they're all horrible, cuss them out in front of Mr. Ayden and the Dean. Tell everyone listening how I work my ass off just to put my two cents into the upkeep of their sorry asses and how I do not get any thanks for that. I could speak of the verbal abuse, the years of intimidation.I could say all of that, but if there's anything I'm not then it's overwhelmingly foolish. It's funny how the fact that I caught Janette and Drake in the sheets is what has made me decide I've had enough of whatever they're doing to me.This is my first step in reshaping my l

The moment her parents walk out the door she falls out of character.It's a shame seeing as she was so good at showing this fierce side of herself. Her family troubles are something I am aware of. I investigate whatever I'm making an investment into, no matter how small or large that thing is.She is an investment I am making. I wouldn't invest in anyone whose background would be a problem for me later in the future.The Dean's office is silent now that the noise makers have taken their exit. I like it because it gives me the freedom to think in peace. I know the girl wants to scream at me but it's something she'll have to get used to."M… Mr. Ayden?"I snap my head to the source of the sound and a disconcerted-looking male face meets mine."I'm really embarrassed by all this and I'm sorry you had to witness it. It's quite a shame that Janette has to be embroiled in something like this, if you want to withdraw your offer to her, it's understandable, but before you do I would like to a
