71. When the Twin Fell Apart

All eyes turned toward me as I returned to the dorm with Gabriel. Yes, I was officially quite famous now at Bastorin—the girl who took a bullet for Alexei. I guessed not only here, but probably in Nightshade too. It was rather annoying, honestly.From the crowd of students, Isolde pushed through. She hurried over, spreading her arms wide—but stopped midway. “Which shoulder was hurt?” she asked. “Just give me a hug already.” I chuckled softly and embraced her.“Oh, thank goodness you are all right. I could not even sleep, thinking about your condition, Anna.” “Really? Says the one who fell asleep right after touching the pillow?” “You!” Isolde huffed in irritation, then broke into a small laugh.Anyone watching our interaction probably found it awkward. Friendships like ours did not exist at Bastorin. Here, everyone elbowed one another—friendships were built on use and advantage.Gabriel cleared his throat softly, pulling my attention away from Isolde. “I am going to see the hea

72. Brothers at War

NATHANIEL POVCleaning the bathroom! What kind of punishment is that? I would rather be whipped than have to do such a humiliating chore. Even Alexei seemed to enjoy giving me this punishment.Damn it. When I become the leader of Nightshade one day, I will kick him out. I will replace Bastorin—he will no longer be in charge.I kicked the water bucket, spilling it all over the floor. My eyes darted toward Gabriel, who was calmly scrubbing the toilet. We made brief eye contact before he looked away and went back to his job.Was he actually enjoying this kind of punishment? Damn it!I turned toward Gabriel, placing my hands on my hips and kicking the stall door. “Do you even realize what you have done? You messed up everything!”He did not answer—only the sound of the brush scraping the toilet filled the room. The toilet was already clean! Gabriel was clearly avoiding me on purpose.“What I did with Mother was only because we wanted that leadership position to fall into our hands!” I con

73. The Second Mission?

Dr. Imelda patted my shoulder gently and gave me a warm smile. That was a good sign, right? Two weeks had passed, and the wound on my shoulder no longer throbbed or ached. It only left a faint itch.“Next week, I think you can join your regular classes again,” he said, then quickly added, “Combat classes, I mean.”“Can I at least practice a little? My muscles feel stiff.”“Next week,” he repeated with a smile. “Light exercise is fine, but no combat.”I sighed and nodded weakly. I had fallen behind a lot—even if I had mastered the theory, practice and theory were still two very different things.He handed me some medicine, and I left the infirmary. My footsteps echoed down the empty hallway toward the dorms until they stopped when I reached the intersection. There, leaning casually against the wall, was Nathaniel. He looked like he was waiting for someone. Who? Gabriel?Even now, every time I accidentally saw them, they were always apart. Gabriel refused to talk about his twin broth

74. Draw Lots for Disaster

"I do not want to see a bloodbath in the morning," Tisha muttered casually as she started to walk into one of the rooms.Suddenly, Nathaniel grabbed her shoulder. "We have not decided yet who will be sharing rooms.""Is it not obvious?" Tisha's eyes widened. "I will share with Anastasia. Or do you want to sleep with me, Nathaniel?""I will take the couch," Gabriel said.The situation turned awkward. I should have been with Tisha, while the twins should have shared the other room. But Gabriel and Nathaniel were still at odds with each other."It is cold outside," I said."I am fine," Gabriel replied coolly before walking toward the couch, dropping himself there with ease.I could not stop Gabriel; he was as stubborn as his twin brother.Nathaniel's jaw tightened. "No. We should draw lots. Whoever gets the same number shares a room.""What?" Tisha looked annoyed.But Nathaniel ignored her complaint. He grabbed a piece of paper and a pen from the desk near the phone, scribbled quickly, t

75. The Academy

After breakfast, the hotel staff brought us new clothes shortly afterward. Tisha, the twins, and I were given matching uniforms—black long-sleeved shirts, tactical pants with extra pockets, and boots. It felt like we were about to go hiking. Oh, great. We should have just worn our academy uniforms instead.We left in the same car as last night, heading toward another part of the city, this time, the outskirts. I stared out the window, curiosity gnawing at me. Where exactly were we going?After forty minutes of boring, heavy silence, the car finally turned into a large gated compound with a brass sign overhead: The Volsellvellen Academy.An academy? What were we doing here?The parking lot was packed with cars, and I saw students in all kinds of uniforms walking toward the building. Was this some sort of inter-academy gathering?"This is a joke, right?" Tisha's face went pale. "Why are we dressed like this?"Gabriel and I stayed silent while Nathaniel yawned wide, looking bored out o

76. The Line We Crossed

Silence. The stillness in this quiet area only made my anxiety grow. We were supposed to follow Alexei's order: stay put, no matter what. But here we were, acting like a bunch of Bastorin Academy rebels.I glanced at my watch. "We should go back." My eyes shifted to Gabriel, who was smoking his fourth cigarette. He looked restless; that much was obvious. Nathaniel and Tisha were no better; they hadn't said a word either. Honestly, I'd rather face Victoria than be stuck in this strange tension."We'll go back once everyone's gone," Tisha replied lightly. "There's no way I'm walking into that hall again. Did you see how those students looked at us? Like they were mocking us. I swear, I want to break their necks." "Is that a metaphor?" Nathaniel asked dryly. "I can do it for real. Slitting their throats sounds better."I groaned and shook my head. What kind of conversation was this? It made my skin crawl. "I'm going back. You guys can stay here if you want," I said firmly.Tisha sco

77. A Heart Split in Two

The meeting ended, and we would return again when the gala started at eight tonight. Gabriel and I tried not to show anything, pretending everything was normal. Even though I could feel Alexei's gaze on me, it felt like he was probing.We went back to the penthouse, where the hairstylist and designer were already waiting with the prepared outfits. After giving a few instructions, Alexei immediately left the penthouse, making me feel somewhat relieved.Gabriel placed his cigarette box on the table, then casually took off his shoes. He walked toward the bedroom, extending his hand to me. "Come on, Anna," Gabriel said.I looked at him, confused. So did Tisha and Nathaniel. "I'm sharing this room with Anna," Gabriel stated firmly as he opened the bedroom door.Of course, Tisha immediately flared up. "What? You think I'd want to stay with your brother? You're insane!" "The lot from last night doesn't apply anymore. For now, we're switching. If you don't like it, you can sleep on the cou

78. In The Arms of Two Men

The gala was far grander than the last one back in Bastorin. Even though the atmosphere was formal, it didn’t feel tense at all. Everyone seemed to enjoy themselves, with no trace of suspicion among them.When we arrived, several members of the school council approached Alexei. With his captivating charisma, Alexei introduced me—and the others—as Bastorin’s top students. Even though his expression was cold and flat, I didn’t understand how he still managed to leave such a strong impression on people.“Sit at your table. I’ll join you later,” Alexei ordered.I released my hand from his arm and followed the twins and Tisha to the table that had been prepared for us. As soon as I sat down, I was startled to see Victoria sitting at the opposite table.“Is Victoria representing one of the academies?” I asked without thinking.I had never known which academy or university Victoria attended before. I didn’t need to know anything about her since the day Evelina introduced her to me.“She’s at

79. When the Lights Went Out

The guests were immediately asked to leave the hall, and everyone began moving in a rush, pressing against each other. Flashlights flickered everywhere. Alexei’s hand suddenly gripped my hip, pulling me close, and we were not heading toward the main exit.“Stay close to me,” he whispered.Still confused, I simply nodded and followed Alexei toward another door in the hall—the one the servers used to bring in food. It was just as dark there, and I could hear people shouting and screaming in panic because of the blackout.I stumbled several times, even bumping into a food rack. But Alexei kept leading me forward, his movements urgent, as if something was making him uneasy or suspicious.Once we stepped outside, I inhaled the cold, damp air. Around us, the darkness felt even heavier. I noticed the faint glow from Alexei’s phone screen as he called someone.“We are at the far left wing, Yuri. Get Anna out of here as soon as possible,” he said before hanging up.“Sir?” I asked in confusion.

80. The Target is Her

ALEXEI POVA short message on my phone made my chest tighten."The target is Anastasia Lancroft."I slipped the phone into my pocket, waiting for Yuri in the academy courtyard, now cleared and under control. The victims had been taken to the hospital, and two were dead. Both were girls who looked eerily like Anna: black hair, slender build. The shooters had fired randomly, targeting anyone who resembled her.Three of the gunmen were found dead, having poisoned themselves. No clue which syndicate they belonged to, or why they were after Anna. But my gut told me this wasn't from any rival group. This was an inside job. A filthy game within Nightshade.My phone buzzed again. A message from Yuri."I can't get in, sir. The police have set up a perimeter." "I'll go there," I replied.As I walked past the officers, I texted Anna, anxiety prickling beneath my skin."Are you at the hotel?" Her reply came quickly. "Yes, sir. The others and I have been here for a while."I wanted to type
