All Chapters of Zeda And The Four Princes Of Shadowbrook Academy : Chapter 81 - Chapter 90

Zeda stared at her rescuer in admiration. Adrian truly was a sight to behold in his white, definitely expensive sweater—which she had come to think of as his signature outfit—paired with white loose pants and white slippers, his long blonde hair gently shifting behind him. While Lucian was the fallen angel, Adrian was probably the rising angel.“How dare you bully my student? What do you think you’re doing?” Adrian’s voice was like acid, and he glared at the seven bullies who cowered in fear.“Pri—no, Prince Adrian, we were just trying to get to know her better and see her powers firsthand,” Sam stammered, throwing Zeda a threatening glance that promised hell if she didn’t agree with him.“Oh, so you think I’m stupid?” Adrian took a couple of steps toward him. Sam took several steps back.“No, Prin—”“Shut your filthy mouth up,” Adrian cut him off, and Sam swallowed hard. Adrian took out his phone and made a call, and within seconds, a huge blonde guy approached them.“Prince Adrian

“Zeda,” Adrian called as she took her bag and started leaving.Zeda turned around to look at him. He ran his hand through his hair and cleared his throat—a tell she had noticed whenever he was flustered or uncomfortable.“Thank you for siding with me back there in the meeting, and for helping me against the wolf in the mission,” he said. He looked nervous and uncomfortable, like showing appreciation was something he rarely did.Zeda noted he had used the word help him instead of save him, but she didn’t care about his pride. She was surprised he was even thanking her.“You’re welcome, I’ll do it again if I have to,” she grinned at him.The nervous look on his face instantly disappeared, replaced with firm annoyance.“There won’t be a next time,” he said flatly.She tried her best not to laugh and instead shrugged. “Hopefully.”She walked to the door to leave with Adrian following behind her when a knock sounded on the door.Adrian stepped in front of her and opened it to find Ava stan

“Let her go,” Adrian’s voice cut through the spell and jolted Zeda back to her surroundings, stopping her from making her decision.She felt Lucian stiffen as she removed her hand from his chest and turned to look at Adrian.He was standing a few feet away, still looking like an angel in the same white outfit he had been wearing.Wasn’t he supposed to be somewhere with Ava and dressed differently? Zeda wondered.“You have no right to tell me what to do,” Lucian said.“Zeda’s my student, my responsibility, so I definitely have the right when it involves her,” Adrian said flatly. “You already messed with her mental health once, and I won’t let her get distracted with anything that would hinder her training, because that’s what you are, demon: a distraction. An unnecessary, unworthy distraction.”Zeda’s eyes widened at Adrian’s harsh words, and she noticed Ava coming out from his building, frowning at the scene. People were beginning to gather around in interest, and she knew a few camer

Zeda awoke on Sunday morning to sunlight streaming through the window. She got off the bed and moved to the window to enjoy the warmth of the sun, a luxury she hadn't experienced since the chaos Lucian orchestrated in the Academy on Wednesday.A heavy sense of quiet lay over the Academy. It was Day Three of the ten-day reprieve Mr. Percival had announced after the chaos, and the atmosphere felt surreal. The colossal battle had ended over seventy-two hours ago, but the memories were raw.Thanks to the Academy's advanced hospital wing and the Witches' powerful healing potions, the Mages, Vampires, and Werewolves who had been badly burned or wounded were recovering at an astonishing speed. She had checked up on Adrian the previous day, and he informed her that he was getting better and his broken arm was already stabilized and healing well enough. Their first training session was thus rescheduled for Monday, tomorrow.She had also sent an apology text to Vyr for disrespecting him in pub

Murphy looked at Zeda and let out a heavy sigh, shame boldly written on his face. “Look, Zeda, I am truly sorry for my behavior at Torvin’s house. I was completely out of line, and there is no excuse for disrespecting you like that.”“Shouldn’t you be groveling at her feet?” Torvin asked him with a fierce stare.Zeda’s eyes widened as Murphy began to kneel, and she reached out and held his arm to stop him from getting on his knees.“No, that’s unnecessary!” She glared at Torvin, who looked unperturbed, then focused back on Murphy. “It’s fine. I’m over it already, for real. I have forgiven you. Just don’t repeat it, especially to other girls, okay?”“I won’t try it again,” Murphy promised.He looked sincere enough, even though Zeda knew Torvin had forced him to apologize.“We’re good then,” she stuck out her hand for a handshake.Murphy grinned and shook her hand. “Thank you.”The guys broke off the circle as they cheered and slapped Murphy’s back in support. Torvin crossed his arm ove
