Malacar’s POVI couldn’t find her anywhere, and I felt panic rising in my chest.Nova, where is Zaria?She went to the sacred stone to gather moss….I already bolted out and onto the path, nearly tripping over roots as I ran. Ahead, four masked men stood motionless, their dark cloaks torn. Surrounding Zaria were three great black hounds, each the size of a horse, their hackles raised and fangs bared. Glowing red eyes fixed on the men; the underworld beasts blocked any way to reach her. Zaria stood in the middle of them, blood trickling from the corner of her mouth, but she smiled at the masked men with a stubborn defiance. Her hand pressed against her ribs where her shirt was stained dark; she must have been struck or thrown, but she did not flinch.What the fuck happened here? How did she get the hounds?The masked men saw me and ran. Zaria gave the command. Scared them, don’t hurt them.I walked to her. Zaria looked at me; her eyes were black with green slivers. I kissed her and pul

Malacar’s POVJames was talking, occasionally taking a sip of his cocktail, as I watched the students interact by the pool.Zaria was not here yet, and I started to get anxious, more because Noctis had invited her.Malacar, are you listening to me?Yes, James, and I couldn't care less about all their fucking new rules.Someone is grumpy and needs to get laid. I can send someone to your room.I can get my own women, James, have done it for a century, keep an eye on…Then I saw her. The sharp tang of chlorine mingled with the citrus scent of the drink in my hand, but all of it faded when she appeared. Her black hair was twisted up in a messy bun, stray wisps catching the late afternoon light, and for a moment, my chest grew tight. She looked so beautiful in that dress, the fabric clinging to the curve of her waist. The straps of her bathing suit peeked lazily around her neck, a tease against her sun-kissed skin. The faint laughter and splash of water from the pool faded out, replaced by

Valerian’s POVZaria was not only beautiful and smart but also definitely not human. I can feel her on a level that goes beyond words, a current buzzing just beneath my skin every time she’s near. Something draws me in, pulls me into her orbit. The connection is impossible to ignore.She moves through the world, almost oblivious to it all, and somehow, everything blurs out around her except the energy tethered between us. It makes my chest ache, this need, almost painful in its intensity. She is like a magnet, impossible to escape.Even Noctis feels it; he tried to warn me, threatening me to stay away from her as if that would work. He is my friend, but I don’t think he understands how strong this compulsion is. Even if I wanted to, even if it would save me some pain, I can’t stay away from her. And with every stolen glance, every fleeting touch, the struggle inside me grows—desire pushing against caution, the monster in me craving her light.You look beautiful, Zaria, I said, kissing

Malacar’s POVI stood still, scared that I had hurt her, listening to her breathing. She was asleep, in my arms, mine all, mine.Never felt more alive, I had someone who loved me, a bond that was getting stronger. But I always question things. I’ve learned not to be so happy, scared she might not accept me when her true form awakens. Zaria does not know what she is, not yet. If she discovers the depth of her own strength, will she see me as her companion, or something to be feared? The thought haunts me, a quiet terror beneath all this happiness.I set her gently to the side, covered her with a soft, warm blanket, and threw another log on the fire. Inside the bedroom, I watched her sleep, and my thoughts drifted to hours earlier. I didn’t want to rush her; she wanted me. Zaria said the words. Took all my self-control not to keep her all night, making love to her like the beast that I am. Her sensuality pulled me like a magnet; it was almost like my body had its own mind.Turned the ba

Malacar’s POVSit down, Astrid, I said, trying not to rip her head off her body. I don’t understand her anger and jealousy over Zaria. Unless she feels her powers?Please explain to me what your obsession with Zaria is? A human.Master Malacar, I’m so sure she’s not human, and besides, she doesn't belong to our academy. Poor girls should go to public school where they belong.That’s what your faction is teaching you? Hatred?Of course, not….I turned the recording off and walked in front of her. You know what I think, Astrid? Your jealousy and vanity will get you expelled. A spoiled princess, with no manners, no humility…Here is my advice to you: call your father. I don’t really care. But money will never buy you two things: love or loyalty. Now go to the dean's office and explain to him why you used magic on a human.She left the office, slamming the door. Fucking spoiled woman; she stank of different scents, and Zor gagged.Yeah, well, and they call us monsters…I chuckled low.I era
