The witch Maeve

~KNOX~The air grew colder and damper the deeper we walked into the ancient, ignored northern boundary of the academy grounds.Few students ever came down here. The stone walls were covered in dark green moss, the cracked pathways overgrown with weeds, and the shadow of the old bell tower hung over the empty courtyard like a giant tombstone."She should be coming back from the archives right about now," Jax whispered, his eyes scanning the quiet stone archways ahead. "She lives in the small cellar beneath the tower."Miller walked right beside me, his hands jammed deep into his coat pockets, his face pale and tight with anxiety. "I still say this is a terrible idea, Knox," Miller muttered under his breath. "We're messing with things we don't understand. Magic isn't like fighting with fangs and claws. You can't just overpower it.""Shut up, Miller," I growled softly, my voice cold and hollow. "I already said I don't care."My right wrist throbbed with a dull, sickening heat. The dar

On MY KNEES

~KNOX~ BOOM!I released my raw, untamed Alpha aura all at once and a huge, crushing wave of dark, suffocating energy blew up from my body, flooding the entire balcony like a violent hurricane. The air temperature instantly descended, turning ice-cold. The pressure was so big, so dark, and so suffocating that the heavy porcelain tea cups in the girls' hands broke into pieces, hot liquid spilling over their expensive dresses.The three girls gasped in sheer horror, dropping to their knees on the stone floor as their lungs locked up completely. They couldn't breathe. They couldn't move. They were crushed under the sheer, terrifying weight of a top-tier Alpha's murderous rage.I stepped onto the balcony, towering over them like a demon risen straight from the abyss. My golden eyes flared with a terrifying, glowing crimson light, my long fangs bared in a silent, deadly snarl.I leaned down until my face was inches from the blonde girl's terrified, pale face. She was trembling so vi

THE PRICE

~KNOX ~ "Please," I choked out, my voice breaking into a ragged sob. "Please... I am begging you on my knees."Maeve turned around slowly, staring at me as if I had grown two heads. "What... what are you doing? Stand up...""Six months ago..." I whispered, tears spilling from my eyes and dripping onto the stone floor. "Six months ago, if I needed something from you, I would have backed you into a corner. I would have used my title, my strength, and my rank to force you to do whatever I wanted. I was an arrogant monster, Maeve. I know I was."I raised my head slowly, looking straight into her tear-filled eyes, letting her see every ounce of the disastrous heartbreak tearing my soul apart."But I'm not here as an Alpha Captain today," I pleaded, clutching my shirt right over my aching heart. "I am here as a desperate man. The person I love most in this entire world... he's dying inside right now. He's trapped in a dark room, crying his eyes out, believing that I lied to him and used h

THE FINAL DECISION

~KNOX~I walked down the quiet, dimly lit corridor toward my private quarters, my boots heavy against the stone floor. My body felt exhausted, my split knuckles were throbbing with pain, and my right wrist burned under the dark iron charm.I pushed the heavy wooden door open and stepped inside.The living room was dark, except for a few flickering candles on the side table. Sitting on the leather sofa was Valerie. She was wearing a silk nightgown, a glass of red wine held loosely in her manicured hand.The moment she saw me enter, a fake, sweet smile spread across her face. She set her glass down and stood up, gliding toward me."Where have you been, darling?" Valerie asked softly, her eyes searching my face. "You disappeared right after your violent little breakdown at the ice rink."She reached out, trying to rest her hand against my chest to bond with me.I instantly took a step back, dodging her hand as a strong wave of disgust hit my stomach. "Don't touch me, Valerie," I growle

Seeing him again

~KNOX~"It's time," Maeve said gravely, her dark eyes locking onto mine. "Are you ready, Knox?""Yes," I answered without hesitation."Take out your blade," Maeve ordered. "And Slice your right palm. Your blood tethers your Alpha life force to the counter-rune. The magic requires your life energy to create the blind spot."I pulled a small silver dagger from my belt and dragged the sharp blade across my palm without flinching. Red blood welled up, dripping down my hand.Maeve wrapped the braided shadow-silk band around my left wrist, opposite the dark iron tracking charm locked onto my right. She pressed my bleeding palm directly against the herbs.The moment my blood soaked into the silk, a searing wave of white-hot heat exploded around my wrist! The runes on the floor flashed bright purple."ARRGH!" I gasped, my jaw clenching as the magic burned into my skin.Maeve gripped my arms, her face inches from mine, her voice cold and deadly serious."Listen to me very carefully, Knox," M

His beautiful scent

~KNOX~"I NEVER ABANDONED YOU!" I roared in his mind, my voice cracking with pure emotion. "I didn't lie to you, Everett! They put an enchanted tracking charm on my wrist! My Uncle zeth and Lord Mathias forced me to sign that contract!" "They threatened to frame you for the academy bombings! They were going to arrest you, torture you, and execute you and Nicky before sunrise!"Everett went completely quiet in his mind. I felt his breath catch in his throat."Everything I did... walking past you... holding her hand... acting like a cold bastard... I did it to keep you alive!" I sobbed through the pain, blood dripping faster from my nose. "If I showed even a single drop of love for you in that hallway, Zeth's guards would have taken your head! I am trapped in a nightmare, Everett! They put a leash on me!""Knox..." Everett whispered softly in his mind, his rage melting into sheer horror as he realized the truth from our feelings bleeding into the bond. "Oh Goddess... your wrist..."

Effect of the spell

~KNOX ~Jax and Miller had to practically drag my limp body through the narrow iron drainage chute. My legs felt like lead, my head was spinning in circles, and blood kept trickling from my nose and ears."Keep your feet moving, Knox," Jax grunted in a panicked whisper, holding my right arm over his shoulder. "We're almost at your parlor.""I can't... see straight," I choked out, my voice raspy and weak.Every time I blinked, quick black spots danced across my vision. The raw, burned scar on my left wrist, where Maeve's counter-charm had exploded, was throbbing with an unbearable, stinging heat. It felt like someone was pressing a hot coal directly against my flesh."We have to hurry! Zeth's guards are still patrolling the outer garden!" Miller hissed, pushing my back through the tapestry and into the dark parlor alcove.We made it into the living room just in time. Jax helped me stumble into the dark bathroom, shutting the door behind us until it clicked softly."Get the blood of

Welcome to the academy Clara

~EVERETT~The dark, wet walls of my Room didn't feel like a prison anymore.I sat on the edge of my narrow mattress, hugging my thin blanket against my chest, my heart beating fast and bright inside my ribcage. The room was freezing, my stomach was cramping from hunger, and the lingering heat of my suppression fever was still buzzing under my skin, but for the first time in weeks, the crushing darkness in my chest was gone.'I love you.'Knox's voice was still ringing inside my head, echoing over and over like a beautiful, golden song.He hadn't lied to me. He hadn't used me like garbage. He was wearing an iron chain on his wrist, suffering in silence, enduring horrific torture just to keep me and my family alive."He loves me..." I whispered into the quiet dark, tears of overwhelming joy spilling over my eyelashes. "Knox really loves me..."I reached up and touched the side of my neck where his temporary scent-mark had faded. My soul felt whole again. The heartbreak that had been

Keeping Clara safe

~EVERETT~The big oak doors of the visitor hall closed behind Lord Zeth with a loud bang. The sound of his boots faded away down the marble hallway, leaving Clara and me standing by the large stone pillars.Clara looked up at me, her big brown eyes shining with excitement, completely unaware of the deadly shadow that had just fallen over us."Isn't this amazing, Everett?!" Clara squealed, grabbing my arm and bouncing on her heels. "When the official car pulled up to our house this morning, Mom and Dad nearly dropped their tea! They were so shocked!"My heart was still beating wildly against my chest. I looked down at my younger sister, my hands shaking as I tried to keep my face calm."Clara... why didn't you write to me?" I asked, my voice tight and strained. "How did an academy scholarship even arrive for you out of nowhere? You didn't even properly apply here.""I know!" Clara said, smiling proudly. "An official representative from Lady Valerie's family came right to our door. Th

The code

~KNOX ~The thick oak door of my private study banged shut with a loud noise."Knox! Calm down! Stop!" Jax yelled, diving out of the way as a massive wave of my Alpha aura exploded outward across the room.SMASH!The large, reinforced glass windows on the far side of the study instantly broke into a million tiny pieces, raining sharp bits across the stone floor. The raw, burned scar on my left wrist, the ugly souvenir from Maeve's counter-charm pulsed with a blinding, agonizing heat, making my wolf go completely wild."They brought her into the fucking academy, Jax!" I roared, my eyes flashing with a terrifying red light as I paced back and forth across the room like a caged beast. "Zeth dragged Everett's innocent little sister right into the lion's den! And he assigned her directly to Valerie!"Miller rushed into the study, ducking as a stray piece of wood splintered off the desk. "Knox, you have to get your wolf under control! If the guards outside hear this, or if Valerie comes
