Caden's POVThe simulated two-headed beast dashed at me with fiery speed. Its claws were huge, pointing at me.I flapped my wings and flew above the attack, then I dived down and sank my jaws into the beast's neck. It tried to break free, but my hold was tight. Soon, it dissolved into a spray of blue light and reformed a few feet away, resetting for another trial."Again," the trainer barked from the sideline. "Faster this time."I dragged my paws on the floor, looking ahead.~This is nothing like the training before. They've turned everything up.~Every simulated creature in this session hit harder than anything we'd faced in earlier rounds. Half the students who started this session had already been pulled aside and marked for elimination, their scores too low to continue.I watched one guy get tossed out after failing to land a single hit in three rounds.The beast lunged again. I slashed it on the face, drawing digital blood and then buried my claw in its stomach. It dissolved aga

Caden's POVI kissed her again, harder this time. My hand slipped under her top. My palm skimmed her ribs and I felt her breath catch. My fingers pushed the fabric up her waist.Her hand caught mine."Wait."I stopped."Someone might come," she whispered. Her eyes flicked to the common room door. "It's still daylight, someone might walk in."I looked at her. Her cheeks were flushed. Her mouth was still parted from the kiss. Her thighs were pressed together tight and her hips were shifting on the couch cushion. Every part of her was telling me she wanted more.We just couldn't be caught in the act if that door opened.I understood.I kissed her jaw instead. Slow. Then her throat. My mouth moved down to the hollow at the base of her neck and I pressed my lips there. Her pulse hammered against my tongue."Caden...""I've got you."My hand moved to her thigh. I ran my palm up the side of her thigh, over her skirt, then back down. She whimpered.I kissed lower. Across her collarbone. Down

Josh's POVMy body dropped onto the bed like a sack of bricks the second I got back to my room.Phew! That was such a draining training session. All my muscles ached in a way I hadn't felt in a long while. The simulated beast I went up against in training nearly tore my arm off before I put it down. My reflexes were slower than I liked to admit, and the trainer's face told me exactly how close I was to getting eliminated. ~That thing almost had me. I need to be faster going forward.~I lay there on my bed, staring at the ceiling and ignoring the voices of boys around talking about the unlucky students who have been eliminated. I let my breathing settle as my eyes threatened to close. A nap wouldn't be bad after the way I'd exerted my body. The lunch alarm buzzed across the campus. I groaned and forced myself upright. My stomach growled loud enough to remind me I hadn't eaten anything since breakfast.I adjusted my jacket and dragged myself to the dining hall. I looked around, ex

Grimshaw's POVLord Veron looked up when I dragged the archivist through the door, and his eyes narrowed."You took too long," he said, folding his arms across his chest."There were complications," I said."Complications?" He rose slowly from his chair, circling the desk. "I gave you a simple task. Find her. Bring her here. It shouldn't have taken this long. Are you getting incompetent at your job?"I raised my shirt to show him the wounds on my chest and shoulder. Deep gashes that were yet to heal."She wasn't alone," I said. "She's part of a coven. I walked into a room full of witches and had to battle them to get her."Lord Veron's eyes moved over the wounds, then back to my face. "I don't care about excuses. Just get the job done. Always. That is the only thing you're good at, so keep doing it well or I'll kick your ass!"I sighed. He would never appreciate anything I did. If only he knew how hard it was to get this woman."Bring her over here."I dragged her closer and forced he

Veron's POVThe office felt too quiet after Grimshaw left with the body.I remained by the window a long time, still watching the dark settle over the grounds. It all sounded crazy. One Guardian. Alive. After all my efforts to wipe them out. A sigh escaped my lips. I wished the damn woman had spoken fast. There's one more guardian. That's all I got out of her before she died on my floor. She could have just mentioned a name, and we would have a proper lead. ~One word. She was one word away from solving my problem. But now I've got nothing.~I walked back to my desk and dropped into the chair. The genealogy books sat on the desk in their stack. I'd gone through all of them already. There was no clue whose detail she was hiding. Whoever that archivist was protecting, she buried it well. Buried it so deep that not even pliers and a broken shoulder could dig it out fast enough. Fuck!I slammed my palms on the desk in frustration. My pen rolled off and hit the floor.Damn it. How was I

Mira's POVLord Veron's brows lifted. He leaned forward and tapped his fingers on the desk."That's a serious claim," he said slowly. "Are you sure about this?""How do I explain this? I can't say I'm 100% sure," I kept my voice steady. "But something about him didn't sit right. He doesn't look like the person who attacked me. The size, everything."He peered at me intently, like he expected me to get scared and deny what I was saying. I held his gaze, but I lowered my head out of respect."I appreciate you bringing this to me," he said finally. "I'll look into it myself. Whatever I find out, I'll let you know.""Thank you, my lord.""Wait, have you spoken to anyone else about this?" His eyes stayed fixed on mine. "Anyone at all?"Josh's face flashed through my mind. I told him about it. He was the only one I'd spoken to about the matter. Until now.~But why does it matter who I've told?~I noticed Lord Veron was getting impatient."No," I said. "Just you. I haven't told anyone."Some

Caden's POVMy heart thumped as I got up from my seat and walked towards Mira. I watched her fight from the stands, watched that venom wolf melt a piece of the gate before it even faced her, watched Mira barely dodge a bite that would've dissolved her leg to nothing.I winced so many times. She barely survived it. Barely scraped past elimination by one point.~She's not going to make it through many more of these without her beast.~By the time I got to her, she was still catching her breath. Sweat covered her face as she panted. I pulled her into a hug before she could say anything, holding her really tight."I was worried about you," I said against her hair."I was scared, too." She laughed. "But I couldn't bear to get eliminated.""That was incredible." I pulled back just enough to look at her. "You managed to destroy the beast and overtake the other girl.""Everything happened so fast. I can't even explain how I did it." Josh reached us next. "That's my girl," he said, smiling

Mira's POVI heaved a sigh the second the door closed behind me.My panties were still soaked. My nipples were hard enough that I had to fold my arms so Tyrell wouldn't see them. I'd been so close to getting down to it with Caden.His hands had trailed on my skin and his tongue danced on my nipple. I already felt his hard cock through his boxers. In a couple of seconds, he would have spread my legs and filled me up with his hard dick.But Tyrell knocked and ruined everything.I rolled my eyes as I leaned against the door. Tyrell stood in the corridor with his hands in his coat pockets, looking apologetic and urgent at the same time."Umm, I'm sorry for interrupting," he said. "I wouldn't have come if it wasn't important.""So what is it?"He glanced past me at the closed common room door, like he expected Caden to have his ear pressed against it."Not here," he said. "Come with me.""Say what you want to say.""Please. Come with me first."I exhaled and walked beside him. He reached f

Serena's POVThe garden was quiet as I walked through it. Most of the other students were in the dining hall, enjoying dinner after the day's gruelling matches. I liked it this way. Fewer eyes on me. Fewer whispers about the girl who forgot everything and everyone. I liked to pretend I wasn't bothered by the whispers, but they bothered me.I walked the stone path slowly, thinking about the matches from earlier. Mira's fight against the venom wolf had been terrifying. The way those fangs glinted every time the beast lunged. I saw raw fear on Mira's face as she tried to avoid elimination. That beast almost tore off her ankle.I understood when Josh and Caden ran to the stage to celebrate with her. I wanted to do the same, but it somehow didn't feel genuine. I was scared for her as a spectator. Not as a friend. Her fight wasn't even the toughest. The fight right after hers was worse. A three-headed cobra with spikes all over its body slithered out the metal gate, coming up against two

Josh's POVI stepped into the arena with Serena still on my mind.She wasn't among the spectators. I'd scanned the stands twice, looking for her face among the crowd, and found nothing.I saw Mira sitting with her hands folded in her lap, watching me with a worried expression on her face. She'd experienced this before. She knew how hard it was.But what's wrong with Serena?~Focus, Josh. You can think about Serena after.~My partner for this round was a big blond guy from Ironridge named Dorian.I looked at the gate. The wild boar behind it was massive, its hide studded with iron spikes from shoulder to tail, each one glinting under the arena lights.The instructor raised his hand. "Begin!"I shifted first. My spine cracked and stretched, fur rippling across my skin until I stood on four paws. The Bengal tiger form settled over me quickly.Beside me, Dorian shifted into a fox.The gate opened, and the boar charged.It came fast for something that size, its hooves tearing up the dirt f
