All Chapters of Reckless Royals of Nocturne Prep: Chapter 91 - Chapter 100

CONRADI couldn't look away from Rae's face. Couldn't breathe right either—kept doing that thing where you forget how until you remember, then it comes out all wrong.She lay there on the infirmary bed like she was just sleeping. Dried blood crusted on her cheeks. Her mouth hung half-open. Two beds over, Kieran looked like a corpse already. Luca's chest kept doing this thing—short, stuttering breaths like his lungs couldn't get the rhythm right. The healer moved between them with a metal tray that clinked every time my heart jumped. Gauze. Vials. One of those blood pressure cuffs that hissed when it squeezed.Something snapped loose in my chest.Then a lot of somethings.Our brothers failed, voices whispered. They weren't whispers, exactly. They sounded like wind through broken glass, like something rubbed raw. Our brothers failed, but you could fix this. We could fix this. Together.More voices joined in. Not arguing. Just... harmonizing. Singing along to something I didn't want to h

MIYORII stayed by the door while Vivianne moved toward the table. The white sheet covered most of Annalise's body, but her blonde hair was visible at the top. Perfect and golden even in death.Vivianne's hand reached out slowly. She touched the sheet like it might burn her. Then she pulled it back from Annalise's face.The sound that came out of her was inhuman. A wail that started deep in her chest and tore its way up through her throat. It echoed off the morgue's cold walls and made something in my own chest crack open.I turned away. Gave her privacy for this moment. This terrible, final moment when she had to accept that her daughter was really gone.The crying went on for what felt like hours. It was probably only minutes. Time moved differently in morgues. Everything felt slower. Heavier. Like the air itself was weighed down by grief.When the sobs finally quieted to sniffles, I heard Vivianne's voice. Soft. Broken."My baby girl. My sweet baby girl."I closed my eyes. The guil

CASSIANMy back cracked when I straightened up from the wall. The impact had knocked the wind out of me. Left me gasping like I'd run a marathon. Rae's magic packed a punch I hadn't been ready for.The infirmary door opened.Declan Ashborne walked in. Tall. Broad-shouldered. Everything about him screamed Alpha down to the way he moved like he owned every room he entered."Damn," he said. "What the fuck happened to my boy? This damned school these past few days."The healer moved toward him. Her face had shifted into that professional mask. The one that said everything was fine and under control even when it wasn't."Stress," she said smoothly. "He hasn't been getting a lot of sleep and there were also traces of..." She lowered her voice. Glanced around like someone might be listening. "Moonshine in his system."I almost laughed.The healer was taking a page straight from Miyori's playbook. Protect the school first. Cover the mess. Make it look like a student problem instead of an inst

RAEIt started with his mouth.Cassian crushed his lips against mine like he was starving. His tongue invaded rather than explored as it slid in without hesitation and demanded everything. I shoved against his chest, not to push him away but to feel the pressure of his body biting back. My wolf roared through me, although it wasn't just her calling the shots anymore. Part of it was me even if I couldn't understand it. The sensation felt as if I had let her up from the basement and handed her the keys.Our tongues clashed and twisted together. I tasted spice with something darker underneath before he bit me. The sharpness came suddenly. His fangs slid into the muscle of my tongue while I gasped straight into his mouth. Hot blood flooded both our mouths as his hands gripped my jaw so I couldn't pull away. Not that I wanted to. I bit him right back with more force."Mmf... fuck." I hissed the words through copper on my breath while pain lit through me like lightning that was both blinding

MIYORII shoved him off me and didn't think.I just acted.The magic came fast. Ice burst from my palms in jagged shards, slamming into Gregory's chest. The force knocked him backward. He hit the floor hard, screaming as frost spread across his skin.I was on him before he could recover. My knees hit the marble on either side of his torso. I grabbed his wrists, slammed them against the floor. The ice responded to my will, crawling up his arms, hardening into thick cuffs that anchored him to the ground."Stop fighting it," I said through gritted teeth.He thrashed beneath me. His strength was terrifying even now. The ice cracked. I poured more power into it, thickening the bonds. The cold spread up his arms, across his chest, encasing him in a crystalline prison.Gregory's eyes were wild. Unseeing. He bucked against the ice but it held."You'll be fine," I said. More to myself than to him. "You'll be fine."I stood up. My hands were shaking. That pull in my gut was still there, warm and
