Nivia POV.I was still trying to process the sudden insight that I'd caught a glimpse of the future, when Mateo reappeared, returning from wherever he'd vanished to last night."Where have you been?" I demanded, while trying to catch my breath.I couldn't explain what was going on, but one thing I was sure of was that, something out of the ordinary was happening to me. But I didn't know what it was exactly."I've been around," he said casually."No, where were you really? You didn't come back to the camp last night," I clarified.He shrugged his shoulder, "Don't worry about me," he said, and brought out something he had been holding behind his back. "Today is for you," he mumbled and handed me a bunch of freshly cut flowers. "Happy birthday, Nivia," he bent low to my neck and placed a kiss on my neck. At the contact, I froze and the fine hairs on my neck stood. The kiss was supposed to feel innocent, but instead of instantly letting go like he usually does, he let his lips linger th

Claire POV. If wishes were horses, beggars would ride. I smirked to myself as I stretched out my legs, relaxing into the office chair in the Principal's office. I felt so content with myself, knowing that I'd denied Nivia of what she desperately wanted. The pathetic look on her face was priceless as I gave her a taste of her own medicine. Now she knew how it felt for something that was almost yours to be ripped away from you. I had no idea if she'd really seen the ball first, and honestly, I didn't care. I sure as hell didn't give a rat's ass about the reward. However, I was going to keep the price away from her as long as she wanted it. That was my payback to her for stealing Justin from me. I wish I could cause her more pain, but for now, I was satisfied with this small feat. Going forward, I would use every opportunity I had to make her regret ever being mated to Justin. She was a greedy, little nobody. Clinging to two mates when others didn't even have one. I hissed an

Claire POV.I could see the surprise on his face as he heard my demand."Wow, what a tough demand for a reward," he mused wistfully, his eyes never leaving mine.I was sure he hadn't expected that I would use the reward as my chance to get engaged to Justin.But what other choice did I have? I couldn't let Nivia have him."Isn't this what you've always wanted, Alpha Jaxon?" I pressed on, "For Justin and me to end up together.""Well..." He said, trailing off."You can use this as an excuse to get us engaged," I offered."Well," he said, lacing his fingers together. "What I want is irrelevant, what matters is what my son wants. Since you're not fated mates, I have no reason to force him into a union unless, of course, he wants it. So I suggest you talk to him about it."At his words, my eyes raked over him.Why did it feel like he was deflecting?Our families were close, and we had been friends for years. I thought he'd wanted me and his son to be together. But now, sitting across the

Nivia POV.The atmosphere in the room shifted, and the space crackled with electric energy.My eyes darted to Mateo and Suzanne, but they were still engrossed with each other, oblivious to the presence of the wraiths, which only meant I was the only one able to see them.I swallowed hard, a lump forming in my throat. Today was supposed to be my birthday, a day of joy for me. But from the moment I woke up, it's been from one crazy experience to another.My eyes shifted back to the dark figures, and I felt another wave of terror wash over me, keeping me locked in place, unable to move a single muscle.They said they were the spirits of the dead and they were here for me...But how did they find me? Of all the students in this school, why did they come for me?"We came because you are the moonchild, your power called to us," they answered, their voices sounding like a thousand timbrels."When did I ever call you..." I started to ask out loud when the question died on my lips as I sudden

Claire POV.The silence that followed was palpable, the tension between us thick with anticipation. Would he say yes? My heart was pounding in my chest, waiting for his response.The moment was intense as I gazed into Justin's eyes, my heart racing with anticipation. His response to my kiss had given me the courage to take the leap, to lay my heart on the line.Justin looked at me, his eyes wide with surprise, and for a moment, I thought I saw a glimmer of excitement. But it was quickly replaced with a hesitant expression."Claire, we're in high school," he began, his voice low and cautious. "We can't get engaged. We're too young, and I...I have other commitments."I frowned, "Commitments? What commitments?" I demanded, interested to know.His eyes dropped, and he looked away, his jaw clenching. "It's not that simple, Claire. You know I now have a...mate.""So?" I laughed, "It doesn't matter. She doesn't even want the mate bond.""It matters," he said firmly. "We're working on it–"
