A NIGHT TO FORGET

“Stop!” Zeda ran and stood in between Lucian and Vyr, and the crowd gasped.“Zeda, no!” Carrie’s voice was a cry of pure horror. “Get away from them!”Zeda ignored the shouts to leave and instead glared at Lucian. "Don’t you dare attack him again.”“Zeda, I’m losing control right now,” Lucian’s voice was a low growl, far from human. “Get away from here and let me kill him.”“No! Control the monster,” she said to him, her voice firm. She wanted to feel bad for calling his demon a monster, but right now, she didn’t care.“I can’t,” he growled, the muscles in his jaw clenching.She remembered their date when he told her about his demon and how her presence was able to calm it down and took a deliberate step toward him, her hand outstretched. Vyr hissed from behind her. “What the hell are you doing, kid? Get out!”Zeda ignored him and touched Lucian’s arm tentatively. “Try to control it,” she said in a soothing voice. She was still furious with him, but if only she could stop the demon

Zeda woke up the next morning feeling awful. Her head pounded with a dull, throbbing ache, her mouth felt like a desert, and a wave of nausea rolled over her every time she moved. It was a vicious, cruel hangover from a night she was already desperate to forget.The memory of Lucian and Sloan kissing replayed in her dream with painful, vivid clarity. The scene shifted to her own fiery kiss with Vyr on stage, which was momentarily thrilling, but the feeling was quickly dampened by the nightmare of Vyr and Lucian savagely fighting each other in her sleep.Carrie was still sleeping soundly, so Zeda tiptoed to the kitchenette, made herself a coffee, and opened her phone. She regretted it instantly.Three videos were trending, and she was tagged in all of them. The video of Lucian and Sloan was the third most trending. The second was her and Vyr kissing on stage, and the first was the fight between Lucian and Vyr. They all had awful comments about her, and she couldn’t find a single good

A FRESH START

“Why do you have to call Torvin?” Carrie frowned.“He gave me two choices for the debt,” Zeda revealed. “To work and come up with five thousand dollars in three months, or be at his beck and call for twenty errands. I chose the first option because I was going to ask Lucian for help with the money. But, well…”“Oh, Z, I’m so sorry,” Carrie said, pulling her into a tight hug.“It’s fine. I’ll just call him and tell him that I’ve changed my mind and will go with the second option,” Zeda sniffed. “Lucian told me to call him if I needed anything, but I can’t, Carrie.”“I understand. Receiving help from him could make you go back on your decision, which I know you don’t want,” Carrie said.“No, I don’t,” Zeda sighed, picking up her phone.She dialed Torvin’s number, and he answered on the third ring.“Debtor. What a surprise,” Torvin’s deep, rough voice was mocking. “I thought you were dead.”“And why would you think that?” Zeda frowned.“You looked like you were going to commit suicide la

THE FIRST ERRAND

Zeda groaned on Monday morning when her phone rang for the third time, jolting her from a peaceful sleep. She glanced at the clock—7:15 AM—and sighed. She could have easily done with another hour of rest.Wondering who would dare call her so early, she picked up her phone and was immediately both surprised and annoyed to see Torvin's name.He called again, and she growled into the receiver. “Don’t you have anything more important to do this early than disturb me?”“Good morning to you, too,” Torvin replied, his voice annoyingly cheerful.“Good morning, Prince Torvin Greywood, Alpha of the Werewolves. It’s a privilege to hear your voice this morning,” she said, her voice dripping with sarcasm.“Maybe we’ll be best friends if this is how you address me constantly,” he chuckled.“Ew, I’ll pass,” she sounded disgusted. “For fiddlesticks, why are you ruining my sleep?”“You’re still sleeping? Well, you never struck me as one who took her academics seriously or made good grades,” Torvin’s

BACK OUTSIDE

The school library was a seven-minute drive from Zeda’s dorm, so she felt a brief moment of hope when she arrived faster than expected. She entered the building, her jaw dropping at the sight. It was a cathedral of knowledge: a massive, modern structure of steel and glass, with towering bookshelves that stretched to the ceiling and spiraling staircases that led to upper levels.Her awe quickly diminished when she saw the endless rows of books. How was she going to find a specific book in this labyrinth without spending the entire day?As if her anxiety wasn’t enough, a few students whispered and snickered as they noticed her. Why was she surprised? She hadn't left her room for two days. Walking around now would surely make everyone remember the events of Friday night all over again.She shook off her frustration and tried to remember the exact title Torvin had asked for, then began searching a shelf that had a sign about supernatural history. After searching a whole shelf that had
