🖱️Jayden🖱️Cowards.That was the word sitting on my tongue as I stared down at the open book in front of me, my eyes skimming lines I had read at least five times without understanding a single thing. My first semester exams start tomorrow and instead of formulas and theories all I could see were faces I did not want to miss and voices I did not want echoing in my head.I hate them.I hate that I miss him.I hate that I fucking care.Three months.Three long fucking months since Victor ran off like the bastard he is and Sammy decided he needed air. Needed space. Needed to breathe. And just like that they were both gone, vanished from my life like I was something they could put on pause and return to later when it was convenient.They never came back.It took me a whole week after that day to finally get answers of their whereabouts. A whole week of being ignored, brushed off, told to wait, told it was none of my business. I had to walk into the administration office myself, sit acro

🖱️Victor🖱️Gurrr~~That disgusting smell hit my nose and before my brain could even catch up, my body reacted on instinct. I bent over the sink, gagging hard, my stomach twisting violently until everything I had just forced down came right back up. I barely made it before emptying it straight into the toilet.Blood.Fresh blood.And it still smelled wrong.I flushed immediately, watching it disappear like it offended me just by existing.Coming back home was supposed to fix things. That was the whole point. Home schooling. Space. Silence. Time to get my sanity back and figure out how to destroy this useless bond that refused to loosen no matter how hard I tried to ignore it.But nothing was fixing anything.Father had been very pleased with my sudden obedience. With my silence. With the fact that I stopped questioning things and came home like a good little heir. He rewarded me the way he always did.By restoring my blood supply.Except every single one they brought me tasted rotten

🖱️Sammy🖱️The impact shook my bones.My fist connected with his face and I felt it before I heard it, the crack of skin and bone snapping together, the satisfying shock that traveled up my arm and straight into my chest. He flew back, hit the ground hard, but I did not stop. I mounted him before he could even breathe properly, my wolf roaring so loud in my head it drowned out everything else.All I could see was red.His blood.Victor’s face.Jayden screaming.I hit him again.And again.My claws slid out without permission, ripping through flesh, the scent of blood flooding the training grounds. The other warriors backed away instantly. No one dared step in. They all knew that look. The look that meant I was not sparring anymore.I was hunting.He tried to shield his face, whimpering now, begging without words, but it only made it worse. My hands closed around his throat, squeezing, feeling his pulse hammer under my grip as his eyes rolled back.Goddess.I want him dead.“THAT’S EN

🖱️Jayden🖱️God I hate this.The words ripped out of me as I shoved my notebook off the reading table. It hit the floor with a loud slap, pages flying everywhere like they were just as fed up as I was. None of it made sense. Symbols. Circles. Laws that refused to stay in my head no matter how hard I stared at them.Magic theory my ass.I pushed my chair back and stood up, my nerves stretched thin, then walked straight toward Jane’s side of the room.She noticed immediately.“Don’t even try it,” Jane said without looking up. “I want you out of my space.”I ignored her and kept walking.“But I need your help with this particular course,” I said, stopping beside her desk. “Just this one.”She finally looked up, slow and unimpressed. “Jayden, you can literally control people into helping you pass. This is magic related and you are a master at that. Do not act helpless with me.”I let out a tired breath and rubbed my face. “Do you forget what I went through trying to make the elders forge

🖱️Victor🖱️Engagement.That word made a dry chuckle leave my mouth as I stood alone in my room, staring at my reflection like it might laugh back at me. Engagement. The way everyone said it made it sound like a blessing, like some great honor. Like I should be grateful.‘This is not funny’ my monster growled inside me, restlessly.I knew that already.When Father announced it earlier, the anger hit me so hard I almost lost control right there in front of the elders. My fists clenched, my instincts screaming to fight or flee. But then something else happened. Something darker.The way my monster reacted.Not with rage alone, but with confusion. With pain. With a violent pull that twisted through my chest like the bond had been yanked hard.And that was when it clicked.The bond.That cursed connection with that human had flared so intensely at the thought of this engagement that it almost brought me to my knees. Which could only mean one thing. This engagement might actually weaken i

🖱️Sammy🖱️I had been happy all day. Not the quiet kind of happy that sits politely in your chest. This one was loud. Stupid. Annoying. It refused to leave my face no matter how hard I tried to wipe it off. I walked into the vampire palace with a smile that felt illegal. I really can’t wait for the bond between that blood sucker and my mate to be broken forever.The moment I saw him standing there all stiff and royal with that dead look in his eyes, something inside me laughed.Oh Victor. Life finally decided to slap you too.I walked straight up to him, ignoring the whispers and the dramatic music and the way everyone suddenly went silent like they were watching a show.“Congratulations vampire prince,” I said loud enough for him to hear clearly.His jaw tightened. Just a little. Beautiful.Then I turned to his father and straightened up, putting on my best respectful face. The one my parents drilled into me since I could walk.“Good evening your highness,” I said, bowing slightly.

🖱️Jayden🖱️Laying on my bed while watching the almighty Prince Victor get engaged made my whole body itch in the worst way. The live broadcast hovered in the air above my palm, glowing softly, showing a palace full of lights, music, fake smiles and power.I hated every second of it.I wanted to be there so badly it hurt. Not because I wanted to watch him smile or stand beside another woman like she mattered. No. I wanted to walk right into that hall and reject the bond before he even had the chance to think about it.I wanted to take that choice away from him.God, I hated that he was about to have the upper hand.I hated that for once, Victor might be winning.The camera shifted and there he was again. Standing beside a pretty girl who looks like a princess. Like he had not shattered my life and walked away without looking back.Then Sammy appeared in the frame.Oh so he had enough time on his hand to attend an engagement party yet none for me huh.Looking at him smiling like a foo

🖱️Jayden🖱️“Hmmm so Jayden,” Jane said slowly, arms folded as she watched me pace the room, “do you actually intend to reject them tonight.”I stopped walking and looked at her.“Of course I do.”She raised a brow. “Do you even know how.”I opened my mouth, then closed it.Jane sighed and sat up properly on her bed. “I mean, I know how wolves get rejected. Everyone does. Pain. Blood. Words spoken with intent. But vampires,” she shook her head, “I cannot say the same. Their bonds are old. Messy. Complicated.”She was right.That truth settled in my chest like a stone.For a brief second, doubt tried to creep in. The what ifs. The fear. The possibility that I would walk into that palace and embarrass myself in front of kings and monsters and creatures who could erase me if they wanted.But then something warm stirred beneath my ribs.My blood.It always knew things before I did. I have the upper hand here, I can’t literally control all of them… the thought alone made me smile.“I hear

🖱️Victor🖱️ If anyone ever asks me what hell feels like, I will tell them it smells like incense, blood, and expensive wine and it wears the face of a celebration everyone thinks you should be grateful for. The bloody part of this engagement was about to begin. The part no one jokes about. The part elders whisper about with pride like it is some holy act instead of a ritual that locks you in forever. The dragon princess stood beside me, calm, glowing, unbothered, while the bowl sat between us waiting patiently like it knew it was about to ruin my life. Her blood and mine would be mixed together, then we would both drink it to eternalize the bond. Forever. The word echoed in my head like a bad joke. This was the part I’ve been waiting all night, the one that will break my bond with Jayden forever. My monster stirred. “He’s here,” it said quietly, almost lovingly. My stomach dropped. I did not need to ask who. My body already knew before my eyes caught up. The bond twisted pai

🖱️Sammy🖱️ The moment his scent hit me, my entire head snapped in his direction like someone yanked an invisible chain tied to my soul. My mate was in this gathering. My brain immediately went why the fuck is he here and does he actually have a death wish because this palace was not a playground. This was where power ate the careless for breakfast and smiled while doing it. And the worst part. He did not even look at me. Not properly. Not the way mates are supposed to. He glanced at me once. Just once. Like I was a stranger standing too close in a crowd. Then his attention went right back to Victor like I did not exist at all. That shit hurt. Bad. I stood there frozen my heart pounding, watching him like a fool while he watched someone else like they were the only thing in the room. I tried to move toward him without thinking, my body already choosing him before my brain could catch up. And then I felt it. My mama’s hand tight in mine. Yeah. There was no way I could walk
