Josephine"C'mon, Jo, live a little," Jessica said, nudging my elbow with hers. Her voice was too bright, like she thought enthusiasm could gloss over the obvious. "Look at that one by the flagpole—total hottie."I slouched further on the bench. Let them ogle. Let them gossip. It all tasted like ash now.A group of freshmen laughed as they passed, their voices sharp as broken glass. Jessica's phone buzzed, and she leaned in to show Fiona a photo. "Check out the new guy in bio lab. Bet he's single."I didn't look. My thumb hovered over Lucas's contact in my phone, the screen smudged with fingerprints from how many times I'd opened it. Seventeen missed calls. Thirty-two texts. All unanswered. The last one I'd sent was yesterday: Please. Just tell me what I did wrong.The bench creaked as Fiona shifted closer, her perfume mixing with the sunscreen in a way that made my stomach turn. "You sure everything's okay with you-know-who? He's been MIA for weeks."I forced a smile, the muscles in

Leila"What did you say?" My voice came out graveled, a sound I didn't recognize, as if my throat had swallowed broken glass.The classroom door slammed open. Cassius froze in the frame, his leather satchel slipping from one shoulder, wire-rimmed glasses askew.I let go of Ryan's sleeve as if it burned. The fabric held the imprint of my fingers, a dark stain on the pale cloth. "This isn't over." My tongue felt swollen, heavy with unspoken threats. Ryan's lips curved, a smile that didn't reach his eyes—those eyes, too bright, too keen, like he was already tasting victory."If you want to know who poisoned you," he said, voice smooth as venom, "come to the parking lot after class. Wait for me."Wait for him? I almost laughed. Didn't he know Lucas and Darren may have been muttering about shovels? When Darren had first seen Ryan hovering near my locker, I'd caught the flicker in his eyes. He'd already picked out the spot to bury him alive, I was

Leila"What do you want?!" I clutched my knees to my chest, the woolen blanket twisted tight in my fists until my knuckles whitened, as if the thin fabric could shield me from the oppressive aura of the Alpha Lycan looming over me. His pheromones hung in the air—sharp, piney, and feral—making my stomach churn with a mix of revulsion and a shameful, gnawing heat.Lucas advanced step by step, his custom leather shoes clicking softly against the carpet, each sound a hammer blow to my racing heart. He lifted his wrist, unclasped his watch, and let the metal case clatter against the nightstand—a sharp, final sound that sliced through the silence. "What do I want?" His voice dropped lower, a velvet purr laced with unshakable authority, "You know exactly what I want, Leila."My skin ignited, warmth spreading from my neck to the tips of my ears, my fingers tingling. I knew this feeling—it was the mating bond, that damn invisible chain that had bo

LeilaThose words felt like a blunt knife, twisting in my chest. In my last life, I'd begged to hear him say something like that—craved his warmth, his care. But now, when I'd long since resolved to escape, his tenderness had become a suffocating chain. Every word of affection felt like a noose around my neck.When he left, silence finally returned to the room. I fumbled for my phone, hidden under the pillow, and when the screen lit up, thirty missed calls stared back at me—all from Darren. My heart tightened. I was about to call back when the phone rang again, "Darren" glowing on the screen, searing my eyes.I took a deep breath, forcing the tremor from my voice, and hit answer."Leila? Where are you?! Are you okay?!" Darren's voice came through the speaker, thick with anxiety—a warm current that only made my guilt sharper."I… I'm fine." I whispered, my nails digging into the phone case until my fingertips whitened. "I fa
