What Did I Do

[Serenity’s POV]I kissed him. I kissed him. Holy shit! I kissed him.These words repeat themselves in my head again and again as I rush down the hall and then burst into my first class of the day.“What did I do?” I gasp, taking my place and burying my head in my hands. “What were you thinking, Serenity?”Shit. I acted on impulse. Was it because of what I discussed with Aunt Elise?No. I couldn’t blame that talk for what I did. Deep down, I knew that I did it because I wanted to do it, and now that it happened, what would happen with Maverick and me?Screaming internally, I hear a round of giggles. Lifting my head, I watch as some of the girls in my class watch me with looks of amusement.“Take a picture,” I huff just as Maverick enters.Tensing, I watch while he lazily heads in my direction. When he reaches, he takes his normal spot beside me. Holding my breath, I wait to see what will happen, but when he acts like normal, pulling his books out of his bag and preparing them for the

You All Knew

[Serenity’s POV]I grab Aunt Elise’s hand and begin to lead her out of my room, only to find that Maverick and my parents are in the living room. For a moment, they simply stare at me and Aunt Elise while we remain in place, and when my father’s expression darkens, I know that he’s going to show his ass.“Serenity,” he says slowly, looking from me to Aunt Elise. “I think it would be best if you didn’t…”“Hold that thought!” I yell, stopping him. “I know what you’re going to say, but I’m going to have to say I won’t listen to you.”Swallowing, I watch as a wave of emotions flashes in my father’s eyes before they settle on anger.Shit. Maybe that wasn’t exactly the best way to put it, but by this point things were too serious to back down, especially if we wanted to get to the bottom of what was happening with these rogues and what could possibly happen to Aunt Elise.“I know that neither you nor Uncle William trust Eleanor.” I continue now, pulling Aunt Elise against me and wrapping my

Night Guard

[Elise’s POV]I stare at Forrest for a moment while I try to make sense of what he is saying until I remember William’s fucking punishment he gave me.“Disciplinary committee.” I mutter in annoyance. “Right, I was put on that, huh?”“You kidding?” Forrest asks, tilting his head to the side. “How could you forget something like that in the span of a week?”A lot has happened. I think inwardly, but remain quiet outwardly.Sighing, I feel a bit of fomo starting to settle in over the conversation I was certain would be taking place in Serenity’s dormitory. It looked like I wasn’t going to be able to be present for it, and that was so damn annoying.“Earth to Eleanor,” Forrest says, waving a hand in front of my face, snapping me back to the present. “We gotta get going.”“Yeah, yeah,” I sigh, my frustration growing. “Lead the way.”Growing quiet, I allow Forrest to lead me toward a classroom where the rest of his delinquent crew is waiting along with a teacher that I don’t quite recognize.

Say It Directly

[Serenity’s POV]I sit quietly, waiting with my parents and Maverick for my uncle William to join us. With each passing minute, my curiosity was growing, and by the time the man shows, I’m almost chomping at the bit to know if Aunt Elise’s hunch is correct. However, before I can even say anything, I realize that Uncle William is alone.“Where’s Aunt Elise?” I ask, peeking around Uncle William. “Didn’t she go to fetch you?”“He knew too?” My father hisses before Uncle William can even respond.At his words, Uncle William’s gaze shifts to my father, and a smug look flashes on his features, but I continue to stare at the door he just came through.“Jealous?” Uncle William asks completely at ease. “I guess they trust me more than you and for good reason given that temper of yours.”“Are you trying to pick a fight?” My father growls, beginning to get up but stopping as my mother grabs him.“Rosco,” she sighs, shooting him a disapproving look. “Now isn’t the time.” Growing quiet, she waits

A Diversion

[Serenity’s POV]I open my mouth to ask Maverick what it is that he means, but before I can, his mouth is slamming into mine, causing all rationale to go out the fucking window.Goddess, it’s like heaven erupts within me as his tongue pokes at my lips, urging them to open so that it can meet my own and begin to dance. And his hands that touch me are so fucking rough and gentle at the same time.No. A small part of me screams, trying to remind me that this wasn’t the time or place. You can’t keep this up.But I could. In the moment, I found myself wanting this to last forever because it felt like something that I wanted for so long but didn’t even realize it.Pulling away, Maverick stares at me with dark eyes while his breath comes in deep puffs.“Do you get it now?” He asks, brushing his fingers along my cheek, running delicious lines of fire along my skin. “Or should I continue showing you?”“I…” I begin, honestly wanting him to kiss me like that again. “I don’t…”I don’t get to fini

A Horrifying Scene

[Elise’s POV]I let out a howl, attacking the rogue closest to me, but as its blood explodes in my mouth, I feel something in me stir that leaves me scurrying back. Gagging, I attempt to get the overly sweet taste to go away in hopes it will stop the stirring that I feel.‘What is this?’ I hiss, trying to ignore the sudden desire I feel to taste more of it. ‘What’s happening?’‘The bite,’ Anna responds, causing my heart to skip a beat.Looking down, I examine the wound on my leg and feel a wave of horror rush through me as I realize the spot of my injury looks just like the rogues bodies, rotting and dirty.‘Fuck.’ I growl, understanding beginning to flare. ‘So that’s how they came to be. But where did the first come from?’As this thought hits, a rogue slams into me, sending me crashing into a tree, and when I hit, I feel a rib break and the air puff out of my lungs.Ugh, I really need to pay attention. Otherwise, I was going to end up getting myself killed here. Or would I? Could I

From Bad To Worse

[Elise’s POV]I attempt to surge forward only to find that my leash is attached to the ground, keeping me in place while the bastard who is responsible for all this stares at me.“Who are you?” He whispers, grabbing my chin and forcing me to look into his eyes. “Because you can’t possibly be my queen.”Shit. He caught me. When it came to these damned visions, I forgot that if I wasn’t careful, those around me could tell that I wasn’t the one who was meant to be seeing.“Are you a spy?” He growls, digging his claws deeper into my skin. “Someone sent to take from me what is rightfully mine? GUARDS!” He roars, raking his claws along my skin.Cursing inwardly, I turn and watch as two men come forward while the rest of the group continue to eat. When they arrive, they wait patiently for their self proclaimed king to give his order, but before I can hear what the fate of the woman who I am possessing is, I feel myself being tugged and thrown through time and space until I’m left crashing in

Close The Academy

[Serenity’s POV]I watch with wide eyes as my father turns and rushes to my mom’s side, shifting back into his human form. He picks her up and heads toward the school. It is only when he is out of sight that I turn my gaze to Maverick, who remains stunned.‘Hey,’ I call through mindlink, trying to draw his attention only for him to seem to not hear me. ‘Maverick.’I repeat this call a few more times, but he doesn’t seem to move. Realizing that he is too shocked by what happened to focus on anything, I shift into my human form and rush to his side.“Maverick!” I gasp, grabbing him and shaking. “Hey, snap out of it, Maverick!”“Serenity,” he whispers, blinking a few times. “I’m…”He doesn’t finish his words as Uncle William comes and drops down beside us, throwing a jacket over me and then pulling Maverick into a sitting position.“Are the two of you okay?” He asks, beginning to examine us. “Did you get hurt? Why the hell are you out here?”“We were attacked,” I sigh, feeling a sudden w

She's Missing

[Serenity’s POV]The next day, I stand in my room, staring at my open suitcase and the clothes that I have already packed in it. It was still surreal to think that after being open for so many years, this place was actually closing its doors, and it was all my fault.Plopping down on the ground, I bury my face in my hands, cursing the ominous mark that marred my skin and what followed behind it. If only I wasn’t born with this, then this wouldn’t be happening.‘Wouldn’t it?’ Mahogany huffs. ‘Even if it wasn’t you, it would be someone else. But since it was you who was chosen, you shouldn’t sit here and play the pity card.’‘Shut up.’ I snap, bristling. ‘No one asked for your opinion.’It wasn’t only the fact that I was responsible for The Academy closing that I was upset, it was also the trouble that I was bringing those around me, Maverick included.It was because I was so stubborn and danger prone that he felt like a complete failure. Even if he did everything he could, there was no

His Plot

[Maverick’s POV]I look from Rosco to Serenity and back, feeling the tension growing more and more between the two while knowing that neither was going to get anywhere. Like father, like daughter, that was for certain.“Come on,” I murmur, gently grabbing Serenity’s hand only to release it as a growl of warning escapes Rosco. “What?”“What do you think you’re doing?” He asks, narrowing his gaze on me. “Who gave you permission to touch my daughter?”“She’s my mate,” I say, remembering that we were putting on an act. “Isn’t it only proper that I try to comfort her?”As I speak, Serenity reaches out and wraps her slender fingers around mine, being defiant against her father in the only way she currently can.“We need to finish packing.” She says, giving me a gentle tug. “If you’ll excuse us.”She doesn’t wait for Rosco to respond before she begins to pull me away, and when Rosco lets out a snarl, I hear Denali say something to immediately calm him, stopping him from saying anything more
