NOVA Letting out a sigh, I move closer to him, and he grabs my wrist, pulling me down to kneel between his legs. Then he wraps his arms around me, nuzzling against my neck.His body is warm against mine, and his heart is racing too fast. Biting my lower lip, I place a hand on his back, rubbing it gently.'I can't. I can't do it. I shouldn't.' His thoughts float into my head, and I stiffen, realizing he's trying to not give in to the urge prickling at him.Biting my lower lip, I decide to distract him. So, I gently pull away from him, cupping his face. He blinks up at me with pain ingrained deep in his eyes."I lied," I whisper.He tilts his head slightly, confusion settling over his beautiful features."You did?"I nod, brushing my fingers over the strands of hair resting on his face."The director didn't just give me an official warning. She...she asked me to choose a side soon," I tell him, and he frowns."What?""She's on the same side—""With the headmaster, right?" He says

RHYDAR Pain. That's the first thing I register. There's silver in my blood. I can taste it in the back of my throat. It's bitter and metallic. Every beat of my heart drags it deeper into my veins.I should move, but Nova's hand is on my back.She lifts the back of my shirt, and the air hits my flesh. She lets out a terrified gasp."Shit..." Her voice cracks. "Those bastards."I almost laugh, but it would hurt too much. She's trembling. Nova doesn't break easy, so I know exactly what she's seeing back there. The welts, the blood still sluggishly seeping, the way the silver burns black around the edges.The mattress dips slightly as she kneels closer. Then comes the sting of disinfectant. It's hell. White-hot hell. My jaw clenches so hard I swear I'll crack a tooth. But I don't move. I don't open my eyes. If she thinks I'm asleep, I get to hear the way she cares without her walls up.The cotton gently dabs against a welt. I barely stop the hiss that threatens to slip between my te

NOVA "Rhydar, what are you doing?" I croak, my heart threatening to explode.He sighs, pinching the bridge of his nose. "I don't want to do this. I swear I don't. But you're frustrating me. How many times do I have to tell you that I'm really not hiding—""If you aren't, you won't threaten or gaslight me! That's exactly what you're doing now," I cry out, tears blurring my vision.He shakes his head, sliding down the door to sit on the floor with a devastated look on his face."That's not true. No, I didn't—"A tear slides down my cheek, and his face instantly contorts with pain. "Nova, please. Don't cry," his voice trembles.I clench my fists, anger burning in my chest. What the heck is wrong with him?I can't believe I was willing to let him in. I can't believe I was so stupid.Rhydar must've heard my thoughts, blood instantly drains from his face. He rises to his feet shakily, moving towards me in a way that implies that he's about to keel over.Before I can process what is ha

RHYDAR "Hold on, she'll be here soon," Nova tells me, tucking the blanket tighter around my shoulders. My body is trembling hard, and every inch of my skin is on fire. It feels like I'm dying. Still, judging from the number of times I've felt like this, it's a surprise that I've survived this long.Nova is fussing over me so cutely, I want to pinch her cheeks. I barely even remember coming home. All I remember is her calling Dora.Everything else is a blur."This really isn't fair," Nova croaks, running her fingers through my hair."Don't feel bad for me, sweetheart. I probably deserve this." My voice is so weak I barely recognize it.Blaze keeps pacing inside of me, restless. He seems to be sensing a threat of some kind."How can you say that?" Nova croaks but before I can respond, there's a frantic knock on the door.Nova startles, her hand slipping from my hair as she hurries towards the door.Relief surges inside of me, but Blaze only grows wilder, thrashing like he's tryi
