All Chapters of Bound to the Villain who craves me: Chapter 11 - Chapter 20

CHAPTER 12RAIN ANDREA RIVERTON“I’ve been looking all over for you!” Leon said, his outfit looking as elegant as a killer could ever be. Blond hair brushed to a perfect wave. “I told you I’m not friends with you.” I squinted my brows. Ignoring my protest, he pulled me by my wrist through the crowd of people who were already dancing around the King's table while he watched amused. How could they let themselves get this drunk? “Where are you taking me?”“There’s an outdoor get together. The section leaders arranged it outside the palace walls.” Not waiting for me to catch my breath, he kept pulling me through the halls. The guards were standing still at every corner of the dining room. “A what now?” “It’s a small get-together. I mean, it’s not every day we get to travel back in time.”“Won’t the king mind us leaving the castle walls?” I turned around to take a look at those dancing, more than half of us were not there anymore. The less drunk ones I guessed.“Malek has his ways.” Ka

CHAPTER 14RAIN ANDREA RIVERTON“What’s that?” Kamari asked, watching the key that had somehow stayed glued to my palm even though I fought with the waves and tried to swim out of the river by all means. “You risked your life for a key?”“What?” I stared up at her. I had absolutely no clue what happened. One minute I was standing with Leon, the next? I was struggling for air at the bottom of an ocean.My chest tightened, I looked towards Nazeera and I guessed she thought the same thing I did. It was a part of the prophecy she said that night. When the moonlight dims and the veil does part, the key shall spark a fateful start.“I called out to you, it was like you were under a spell.” Nazeera looked at me as she tried to connect the dots.“I heard you, but at the same time I didn’t. Your voice sounded so far away.” The first wave of air passed through me, sending shivers down my spine as the cold seeped in through my dress. “That’s not just any key,” Lix won, stated. She looked at it

CHAPTER 16RAIN ANDREA RIVERTON“It’s time,” Kamari stated. Each of us on either side of our beds was already dressed in our fight gear. My hair was packed in a high ponytail and two strands braided on either of my checks. Seconds later, we were pulling up to the tower to the meet-up spot Ward nine had picked. Lix moved from one foot to another with worry in her eyes. Naz? She wore a scowl more than half the time, I could barely read a thing out of her.I cleaned my sweaty palms over my gear. I was going to survive. My name was not going to be added to the death board.“Divide yourselves into groups of five,” Kai ordered. Unlike us, he wore a round-neck black top that highlighted his muscles. Only his pants were the school fight gear. “After tonight, we will either win or barely make it out with our lives. Because then, it will be obvious what we came for. I can guarantee that Aldamar will not let anyone leave alive.”“With our number and the guards we will have to kill, would he

Chapter 18RAIN ANDREA RIVERTON“Ward nine, section five members have always been first in Kingsbury. So it would be absolutely wrong for me to say I am surprised.” Councilman Omen said with hands behind his back in high prestige. I could see the resemblance between Kamari and Ivella with their father. Were they as fucked up as he was too? Did he take the key? Did Nazeera take it?“Good job, once again.” His eyes scanned the hall.Our formation of three was behind our flags as always. Wards three and six stood beside us. “Your second trial comes in three days.” “Three days?” Voices were raised in protest, “We barely survived this one.” My brows squinted as I stared at Omen. Whatever his soul was made of, it was so dang obvious mine hated it. “Why the rush?” Naz mumbled beside me. “Aunt Eloise’s dairy stated we had at least two weeks to rest before the next trial.” I still didn't trust that she didn’t take the key. But I couldn’t accuse her if I didn’t witness it myself. Besides,

CHAPTER 20RAIN ANDREA RIVERTON Prophecy or not, we were still students of Kingsbury High. It didn’t matter what we knew, or who we slapped. Attending classes was non-negotiable. Especially when they involved training. We were going to die one way or another, better to put up a good fight.“I am pleased to see some more familiar faces from the remaining aspirants the first trial didn’t wipe out.” Professor Bengal raised his chin. Hands behind the back of his robe, Dr Zia stood behind him like she always had been. “Do not rejoice yet, you still have three more to survive and win.”Three.Total of four. Not three like the Acolytes had done, Or as Aunt Eloise had in her time. Four. “Why does everything about our set have to be fucking different?” Nazeera frowned. Lix stood next to us with her Kitsune blade tugged in an X shape behind her fight gear.“Right?” Lix sneered. “It’s like they are trying to get us killed on purpose.” Professor Bengal continued. “You have today and tomorrow
