บททั้งหมดของ Finding their Luna at an all boys school: บทที่ 51 - บทที่ 60

RIVENFunny that I thought, I’d wake up next to him. Instead I woke up to an empty room.I tried to occupy my mind with other things but I couldn’t take my mind off of the things that happened with Damon and Kael last night.My heat was gone but damn… I still ached.I hadn’t seen any of them all day.No Kael lurking at the edge of practice, no Damon offering those soft glances he thought I never noticed, no Cassidan cornering me with questions I couldn’t afford to answer. Nothing.Maybe they were avoiding me. Maybe they were giving me space. Maybe it was all in my head.Still, their absence hung heavy. Like a punishment I didn’t quite deserve or maybe one I did.The fever that had driven me half-mad last night burned itself away until I was only sore and tired. But underneath the exhaustion something sharp remained, an ember glowing where it shouldn’t.Ashamed, yes. But alive.It was impossible to forget the way Kael had held me, his body a furnace against mine, his lips too close. Im

RIVEN I slammed the door behind me only to bump into a strange sight.I stumbled backward, my back pressing into the door as my eyes were wide with shock.“Wha–a,” then instantly scrunched up my face.“I don’t give a fuck,” I immediately said and walked through the middle of the boys. I didn’t want to know why they were going to the principle’s office. None of that mattered.Damon opened his mouth to speak but Kael, as always grabbed his arm and Damon shut his mouth. I was long gone to observe any other exhibitions from them. I got to the dorm room and instantly crashed into my bed. What the hell was I going to do? I couldn’t just show up with my father’s signature and I couldn’t just go home to forcefully get it.I needed to think of something and fast. I didn’t know when I fell asleep. It was only when I started to hear raised voices that I woke up with a jolt.My hands were rubbing at my eyes as I opened the door of my room to see Damon and Kael, oblivious of me.“Damon, what

RIVENThe moment Damon heard “he’s awake,” he didn’t hesitate—he was already sprinting down the corridor, his long legs carrying him faster than either Kael or I could keep up.Kael cursed under his breath but followed without looking back. And me? I wasn’t sure why my body moved at all. My heart was thundering in my chest, pounding so loud it drowned out the pounding of our feet. Cassidan was awake. Cassidan—the one I had seen pale, bleeding, broken on the ground. The one I thought might never open his eyes again.The corridors blurred around me. Every step felt like I was running not just toward him, but toward the collapse of the lie I’d built brick by brick since the moment I stepped into this cursed academy.What if he remembered something? What if he recognized me—not as Riven, but as Elara? What if his deliriums had showed him something no one else could see about me?Damon shoved open the infirmary doors so hard they slammed against the walls. The sharp crack made me flinch.I

RIVENIt should’ve felt unbearable, being in the same room with the three of them. Cassidan’s eyes sharp even through the fog of his recovery, Kael’s silent storm brewing in the corner, Damon’s quiet protectiveness wrapping the air tight. But it didn’t. It felt—good. Dangerous, but good.Like standing on the edge of a blade and realizing part of you wants to see if you’ll bleed.I leaned against the frame, arms crossed, my face schooled into boredom. Inside, my pulse thrummed, steady and treacherous. The room was too full of them, their presence crowding mine, suffocating if I thought too long on it. And yet—I missed it when I’d been avoiding them. The tension. The constant push-and-pull. The way even their silence carried weight.Cassidan’s stare landed on me and held. His near-death hadn’t dulled it. If anything, it was worse now, like he saw through me. My skin prickled as if he could peel the disguise from my bones. I kept my chin tilted high, daring him to speak it aloud, to tell

I carried him through the quiet halls, his weight light but unsettling in my arms, every step echoing with the rush of thoughts I couldn’t silence. Riven had collapsed, his pulse uneven, his skin clammy with a strain I couldn’t place. For someone so stubborn, so unyielding, it unnerved me to see him slack against me like that, and the fact that it had happened in front of us all only tightened the knot in my chest. He had always moved like fire contained in a human frame, sharp, quick, untouchable. To see that fire dim even for a second—it did something to me I didn’t want to name.When I pushed into our dorm, Cassidan and Kael looked up at once, both their expressions shifting as they saw the unconscious figure cradled against me. I set him down on one of the beds, my voice low but edged with the frustration I couldn’t hide.“He was attacked,” I said, scanning their faces for the same unease clawing at me. “I chased the bastard off but not before I got a strike in. He’s bleeding.”Ka
