I trained alone before anyone else was up.Just because my body needed to move while my mind processed. I ran the training yard through the dawn and thought about last night and what it meant and what came next.The bond was warm and steady. For the first time, not a source of pain.The absence of the pain was almost disorienting.I expected guilt.I expected panic.Maybe even regret.Instead, there was a strange calm sitting underneath everything.I had kissed Cassian.Not because of the bond.Not because we were trapped in the same fight.I had kissed him because I wanted to.That realization kept returning every time my mind tried to move to something else.I drove my fist into the training dummy.It swung backward.I followed with another strike.Then another.My body knew what to do even when my mind didn't.The problem was that now I had to figure out what came after the thing I had spent months refusing to name.Cassian and I were different now.There was no pretending otherwis

I sat in my office the morning after my secondary ward registered an intrusion.Corbin stood by the door, waiting for instructions. I reviewed the footage of what was taken. They had photographed the clipboard data. The intake forms. The student names in the margins.I was not angry.I had expected this. I had adjusted for it.The intrusion had been recorded at 2:13 a.m. The ward registered an unauthorized presence, activated its delayed response, and alerted me to the breach. By the time I reached the office, the intruders were gone.Efficient.Not particularly original, but efficient."The security team has reviewed the corridor footage," Corbin said. "The faces weren't captured clearly.""How unfortunate.""Should we increase patrols?""No."He hesitated. "Sir?""If we increase patrols immediately, we tell the intruders they found something worth protecting. Let them believe their access went unnoticed."Corbin nodded, though I could see he didn't entirely understand.That was acce

I woke at 3 AM from a dream I could not remember.Only the feeling of it. A sense of purpose that was not mine and a love that absolutely was.I sat up in the dark and tried to remember. The dream dissolved like smoke through fingers.I was left with the residue and no way to tell where one ended and the other began.For several minutes, I remained still, waiting for another piece of the dream to return. I remembered the warmth of someone's presence, the certainty that I needed to protect something precious, and the strange conviction that I had been given a task I couldn't afford to fail.But there was no face. No voice. No clear beginning or end.I pressed my fingers against my temples, frustrated by how easily my mind had emptied itself.It wasn't the first time I'd woken like this since my return. The dreams came irregularly, leaving behind emotions that felt too strong for something I couldn't remember. Sometimes I woke feeling guilty. Other times, I felt peaceful in a way I coul

I watched Cassian walk through the Solas common room and noticed something I had not seen in the three years I'd known him.He looked like himself.Not the golden boy. Not the performance. Not the armor. Himself, underneath all of it, which turned out to be someone who stood differently when he wasn't carrying the weight of his own expectations.He wasn't checking who was watching him or adjusting his expression whenever someone approached. He simply walked through the room, acknowledged a few people, and continued toward the exit.It was subtle, but I noticed.Cassian had spent years trying to be the person everyone expected him to become. His father's approval, his rank, his reputation, and his future had always seemed to occupy space in his head. Even when he was relaxed, some part of him remained guarded.Recently, that guard had started to come down.I suspected I knew why.I fell into step with him on the way to the training yard."You look different this morning."He glanced at

The ward dissolution attempt on Lyra happened three nights after Val's conversation with her.Ronan needed time to prepare the technique. None of us knew exactly what would happen when Ronan tried to break Cain's construct, and we couldn't afford to make a mistake.We met in the herb garden at midnight. Val, me, Ronan, and Lyra, who sat in the center of Ronan's prepared ward circle.The garden was quiet, with only the rustling leaves and the occasional distant howl breaking the silence. Ronan had cleared a space between the herbs and drawn the circle himself. Small stones marked its edges, each carrying a faint magical glow.Lyra looked nervous, but she hadn't changed her mind.Val knelt beside her, holding her hand. Ronan checked the markings one last time before turning to face us."Before we begin, I need everyone to understand something," he said. "This isn't a simple cleansing. I'm dissolving a construct that has been attached to Lyra's mind. We don't know how deeply Cain embedde
