Cassie's POV “Good luck on your test today.” Maya's lips curl into a smile. “Ugh, I'm so nervous.” I let out a soft sigh. She claps her hands together once, then points both thumbs up at me before striking a mock superhero pose. “Don't be, you've got a sharp brain. I'm sure you will kill it.” I laugh despite the nervousness twisting in my stomach. And just like that, we split up and head towards our different departments. I keep muttering how proximal means closer to the point of origin while distal is farther away, because that seems to be the only thing sticking in my head. My brain is foggy, my thoughts are clouded with unreasonable things. Things like my aunt's last call and the silver eyes I swore I saw at the window last weekend. “Get yourself together, Cassie. Don't be a failure now,” I say to myself, hoping that will make me remember that Anatomy is a four-unit course and any slight mistake brings down my CGPA. I clutch my backpack tighter and walk into the clas

Knox's POV Cassie doesn't know that I've been watching her since this morning. I see how her shoulders tensed before the test, how her eyes narrow at the silence that welcomes her when she walks into the class. For a second, I want to storm into the class and rip out the tongue of anyone who dares to speak about the attack. But none of them does. It's as if they know what is coming for them if they dare to. Then, after her test, Maya drags her to the pool. I mindlink that stubborn sister of mine not to take her to the pool, but she doesn’t listen. Maya never listens to me except I have to explain myself to her. So, I let her do what she wants because I can't tell her that her best friend is my mate yet. I follow anyway, shadowing them just far enough to stay unseen. Nyx keeps pacing under my ribs, hot and restless, wanting in. I keep my fingers clenched by my sides, mindlinking Maverick to come with my car. As soon as he arrives with my sports car, I see her— Lizzy. She is booti

Cassie's POV Knox's hand trails down my skin slowly. His touch is slow, electric, causing my body to shudder against the soft sheets. He presses his soft lips on mine and a moan involuntarily slips from my lips before I can stop it. His taste is intoxicating, his breath is hot as his tongue dives into my mouth, claiming and demanding. My heart pounds so hard I can barely hear anything else. My hands tug at his shirt, pulling him closer, needing more of him. His fingers gently trace along the line of my collarbone, teasing lower until they graze the swell of my breast. He rolls one of my hardened nipples between his fingers and I gasp, arching into his touch as a sweet sensation courses through my veins. “Knox!” I whisper against his lips, the sound desperate, needy. A low growl rumbles from his chest, the sound vibrating through my bones. His hand slides lower, then… “Cassie!” I jolt awake with a sharp breath. My eyes snap open, disoriented, chest heaving as Maya's wide eyes c

Cassie's POV My heartbeat spikes at the familiar, cold voice. I whip around, my pulse roaring in my ears as I fight the sudden heat rushing through my veins. My breath catches in my throat when I see him. Knox Black. His wavy, dark-brown hair falls over his forehead, making him dangerously attractive in the worst way. For a moment, I forget how to breathe. Then, memories from last night's dream begin to flood my mind. His soft lips on mine, his fingers teasing my nipple and the moans slipping from my lips. And for a stupid second, I feel like running towards him to kiss him.God, what the hell is wrong with me? Heat rushes to my face in an instant and I can already feel something sticky between my legs. My stomach twists with shame that I almost curse at myself for the crazy thoughts going through my mind. Anger quickly replaces every unholy desire running through me when he walks towards us. What's he doing here and what right does he have to speak for me? His emerald green e

Cassie's POV My head snaps towards the passage entrance at the sound of my name, but my eyes widen in horror. A loud, stunned gasp slips from my lips at the long, distorted shadow stretching across the ground. It rushes straight at me and I stumble back until my back hits the wall with a soft thud. Fear crawls over my skin, beads of sweat form on my forehead, and my hands shake uncontrollably. I squeeze my eyes shut, hoping that the shadow will disappear when I open them again. And this is just one of my scary nightmares again, but the shadow suddenly lunges at me. The air leaves my lungs in an instant as something— hands or claws, I can't say— clamps around my left leg. My body shakes violently and I can't even bring myself to open my eyes as a strange sound fills the air. Regret claws up my throat. Maybe I should have listened to Maya, and not come here. This is probably the way I was attacked a week ago and almost lost my life. Whatever this shadow is, it's not human, it's evi
