CHAPTER 12— Crash out

I woke to warmth. For a few slow seconds, I thought I was dreaming. My body felt heavy, cocooned, held in a way that made my breathing even out before I realized why. The scent hit me next. Dark. Familiar. Steel and night and something unmistakably alive. It was Aldric. I stiffened. I was pressed against him, my back to his chest, his arm draped around my waist like it belonged there. We were in his bed. His room. The sheets were cool, clean, expensive. I was dressed in soft fabric, loose and comfortable. His pyjamas. The same set he had ordered me to take off days ago. The absurdity of it struck me so hard it almost made me laugh. Instead, my throat tightened. I shifted carefully, trying to slide away without waking him. The moment I moved, his arm loosened instinctively, as if his body registered my discomfort even before his mind did. I rolled to the edge of the bed and sat up, pulling the blanket around myself. My head throbbed dully. My body felt sore in that de

Chapter 13: Soft Poison

The world tilted sideways after the spar. That punch to my face knocked out my brains for a huge second.I knew something was wrong the moment my legs stopped listening to me. The training ring blurred at the edges, the sounds of snarls and shouts dulling into a a string of hum, it almost felt as tho I got blind, deaf and paralysed from one hit. I had been hit harder than usual. They had not gone easy on me. That much was obvious. Every muscle screamed, my ribs aching sharply with each breath.But this was different.This was not just pain.My vision swam. My hands tingled. Heat spread through my chest in a way that felt like cancer. I stumbled, barely catching myself before I hit the ground.Someone laughed.The next thing I knew, the world went dark.When I woke, the air smelled wrong.Not iron and stone and wolf sweat like the academy. This scent was sweet and sharp, like crushed herbs and old wood and something faintly metallic beneath it. My eyes fluttered open, struggling to foc

CHAPTER 14: Friction

I tried not to think of my kiss with Seraphiel, it felt like a crime to think about him. Why? Because he's a fucking VAMPIRE!! I couldn't lie to myself by saying he took advantage of me.. actually he did. But his.. was different. Did I like it? I guess we'll never know. Taking my mind of the boy drama, blushing cheeks and too good to be true kisses. I should have known peace never lasted here. The academy had a way of letting you breathe just long enough to forget where you were. It started with the summons. I was summoned. Unfortunately not by Aldric this time. But “The Council.” Their seal burned crimson against the parchment, formal and cold. Mandatory appearance. Evaluation chamber. Dawn. I barely slept. Every time I closed my eyes, I saw Aldric’s face from the night before. Not stern. Not distant. Focused. Protective in a way that felt dangerous. The kind of protection that invited attention, resentment, retaliation. And then Seraphiel, although we had a really dark past

CHAPTER 15: Leaving with Seraphiel

I sat in the corner of my box sized room, it was closing in on me, I folded so hard I might as well been mistaken as dead wood.Thinking about Aldric has been draining. There was so much I wanted to say to him. I wanted to shout from the dark hallway of the Academy and scream from the depths of my lungs. Tell him of how much I liked him, perhaps loved him? Was it too soon? How did it even happen? Did I like him because he was so influential? Or because he's someone no one could ever touch the hem of his garments, and I could wear his… Maybe I should tell him! Rather than wallowing in self pity and hate I should walk up to Aldric and tell him about my feelings. What's the worst that can happen anyways? Suddenly the grass became greener and it felt like a dose of dopamine had been injected into my spirit and soul, like a sudden lease of life.I walked out of the hostel thinking about how it could go, I didn't care about what the council would say, he didn't even have to give me an an

CHAPTER 16— The day my life went downhill

The world changed the moment we crossed over.It was a sharp transition, no longer the threatening claws of the darkness of wolves or screaming howls that permeated that academy airs. It was softer than that, more unsettling and eerie. One step I was standing beneath familiar stars, the next the air itself felt different, heavier, perfumed with something sweet and cold. I couldn't tell which one I preferred..The vampire world did not sleep.Lights glimmered like trapped fireflies along black stone streets. Towers rose like elegant fangs into a violet sky. Everything shimmered faintly, as if reality here was polished too often, worn thin by immortality.I stopped walking.Seraphiel noticed immediately.“This is beautiful isn't it?” he said lightly, mischief laced through his tone. “You look like someone who just realized the cage was never locked.”“I shouldn’t be here,” I said, my voice barely carrying. My heart was still back at the academy, pounding against the gates of Aldric’s h

CHAPTER 17— Seen too much.

The vampire world unfolded slowly, like a story that did not care whether I was ready to read it.Morning did not arrive here the way it did in the academy. There was no sun clawing its way into the sky, no sharp light to pull you awake. Instead, the violet sky softened into deeper hues, as if night simply changed its mind about how dark it wanted to be.I woke on silk sheets that did not smell familiar.For a panicked second, I did not know where I was. Then the weight of memory settled in. Seraphiel. The memory, the things which were spoken about and finally my mind drifting back to Aldric.I sat up slowly, my body aching in places that had not fully healed. My injuries were wrapped neatly, salve already absorbed into my skin. Someone had taken care of me while I slept. My wolf has always been weak, I mused. Pathetic. There's still so much wounds that hadn't fully healed.That thought made my chest tighten.I rose and padded toward the window, distracting myself from it all. Beyond

CHAPTER 18— We kissed??

I returned to the academy long after the halls had fallen into a slight quiet, I couldn't tell how long I had been out in the vampire realm but there was a certain unease that cling to my skin like glue, it felt like I had committed a sin, the rouge in which the Academy had taken was a betrayer, taken with the vampire heir. I would be killed for sure, if word ever gets in.I barely made it past the outer arch when I felt him.Aldric did not need to step into my path. His presence alone stopped me. The air shifted, heavy and unmistakable, like the moment before a storm breaks.“Jade.”My name snapped like a leash.I froze.I turned slowly, forcing my face into something neutral, something calm. He stood a few paces away, arms crossed, eyes darker than I had ever seen them. His hair was loose, falling around his shoulders, framing a face carved from restraint and fury.“Where have you been?,” he asked.It was not a question. It was an order.“I went for a walk..,” I said. Surprising mys

CHAPTER 19— Change in status

The academy day started with mixed feelings clinging to me like a second skin.The uniform they handed me was new. Not altered, new. The fabric was heavier, richer, stitched with care instead of convenience. Navy blue instead of the dull gray I had worn before. It fit snugly across my shoulders, tailored to my frame like they had actually taken the time to pick out my body particulars and tuck it into an attire. And that they probably did.My grade had changed too.Just like that.A single line on a ledger and suddenly I was no longer invisible.I stared at my reflection for longer than necessary, fingers brushing the collar, my hair combed back instead of hanging messily over my eyes. My face looked unfamiliar without fear etched into it. Without my shoulders curled inward. Without the instinct to flinch.Is this what success does to a person. Or was it simply proximity to power?The halls felt wrong.The same stone floors. The same banners. The same carved sigils watching from the w

Chapter 20— Aldric's true colours

Everything since the kiss had been this strange, a thing string called possibility had occurred. We kissed. It was not tender. It was jagged and full of things unsaid. It left me raw and smiling and stupid for hours. It left me wondering if the way Aldric had pressed his mouth to mine meant anything beyond just a fleeting impulse.Then my status changed. A new uniform, a different ledger line. The academy had noticed me. People who had never spared me a look were suddenly polite. Doors that had been locked now opened. It was him, he did it, he's trying to help me out. Isn't this all I've ever wanted? To stop being bullied and being by his side? He made it happen. Does that mean seraphiel was wrong and…. He likes me??But reality played a cruel joke.He was the same cold presence, he did not smile. He did not wrap me in warmth. If anything, he became more distant and, somehow, more… present? He did not seek me out and he did not avoid me entirely. He existed on a scale I could not mea

CHAPTER 21— A misunderstood Aldric

Lyra noticed, of course. She walked in before the kiss happened, I didn't know if to be glad or disappointed. Aldric just walked away from me like nothing had happened and then I was left to pick up my unrequited love and wait for him to reciprocate hopefully. But Lyra, she had always noticed what I did not yet have the courage to admit. She sat across from me in the mess hall, fork paused halfway to her mouth, eyes sharp as ever. Our friendship was new, she was from a third rate pack who had joined the council by merit.“You are ridiculous,” she said when I told her about the uniform and Aldric's favour.She replied never hiding the affection in the roll of her voice. “Do you know how you look? Like a wolf who got lost and found a crown instead of a pack.”“You are supposed to console me,” I mumbled.She snorted. “Sorry. Consolation counselling is not in my skill set. But if it helps, the way Aldric looks at you is not entirely neutral. It is not pity. It is not approval. It is… I d
