I remember how I felt when my parents had died in that terrible fire. I remember feeling pain, and even more pain seeing Valerian so hurt. I thought that was the worst pain I could have ever experienced, and I knew I could handle it with my brother by my side. How exactly was I supposed to handle this one?This pain felt nothing like what I had felt back then. It was so much worse. I didn't even realize I had collapsed on the floor, I only vaguely felt my knees hit the ground below, my eyes wide, the tears filling them steadily.Dead? Suicide?My brother was the happiest person I knew. He was optimistic and beautiful, and even when things didn't go his way, he never slipped. Never became sad. Never ever let his smile falter.Besides, he had just told me he wanted to come back in a few months during Thanksgiving. He had been excited to tell me about all the cute Alphas there, and he had even teased me about setting me up with one of them so I could give him a cute niece.I turned to

I stood in front of the imposing gates of Rosendale High, my heart beating wildly in my chest, my body slightly trembling. My chest was heaving with fear of the things that could be lurking in there. But I have made it this far. It has been two months since my brother died, and I have spent every single moment of that time trying to find a way to gain entry into this school. After doing everything, leaving the pack for a month to make it seem like Skylar North had gone rogue so I could safely take this identity, masking my scent and cloning an alpha scent, and applying again and again every week when their admission opened up till I finally received the letter, I knew I had to go through. I remember the first time I had come with Valerian. The way he had been so excited about this place. And then the last time I came with him. He had been dead, and he was discarded in that nameless grave. That necklace. That man. That rose. I was none the wiser despite the time that had passed,

I stood there frozen to the spot as Knox walked away, saying something about how I should come with him to lunch so I could at least be well fed while I look for a room.My mind, however, was somewhere else, and my vision was blurred. I could barely even think clearly. Eros Dionte. Everything seems to point right to him. He was Valerian's roommate, and it is a no-brainer to assume that he was the only one in that room with Valerian. Not just that, the necklace. The rose. My... if he was the one with the rose, what... was the connection to my dreams? Why have I been seeing him in my dreams ever since I turned eighteen?I slowly leaned to the floor, my hands covering my face, my eyes closed. This was getting a little more entangled. What if the person with the rose was just... someone else? Not Eros?It would simply make Eros my brother's killer, but then I would have to find the person with the rose. The man in my dreams."Who are you?"I looked up, then immediately straightened. A tal

I went around all of the rooms, but none of them were willing to take me in. Knox was beginning to get frustrated by the entire thing, and I was feeling sorry for him. He was, after all, working overtime just to make sure I didn't have to sleep in the hallways tonight, and I didn't even have anything to repay him with. "No," the person Knox had been talking to for the last fifteen minutes suddenly said, then slammed the door on Knox's face. Knox gave a small growl, and I gently held his arm. "I will be fine, Knox. I promise. I used to do this all the time outside." He looked genuinely sorry before he gave a small sigh, then nodded. "How about.. I grab you a few beddings, then? Where do you intend to sleep?" I shrugged. "Would the library be open?" "Yes, definitely. Do you know how to find it?" I shook my head. "No, I..." "Wait here. I will go grab your beddings and then take you to the library. It will be time for lights out soon." "Thank you very much," I said, and he

Silence fell on the entire hall, and for another minute, he just watched me, his eyes cold. Suddenly, he took a step towards me, and it took every bit of courage I had to not move away. I looked up to him, my chest heaving hard, my heart pounding so hard I felt faint."Why do you want to be my roommate?" His voice was low, his eyes holding mine."I need a place to sleep.""The library befits you. You think I let just anyone in my room?""It's a condition. You are obligated to fulfil it."He laughed, then nodded and moved back as he wrapped his hands in front of him. "Done. Beat me in this duel, and you can have a room in my space."I nodded, then moved away. Someone walked up to me and handed me gloves. I wore them quickly, then walked into the open space. I knew I was going to get beaten up to a pulp, but I was determined to at least fight back. To at least stand up for myself.Alpha Eros looked a little bored, his hands behind him. Once I was done, a bell went off. My eyes fell on K
