Zaria’s POVMalacar and I stood there frozen, as Astrid smiled, having the upper hand. I turned to him, seeking help. I saw Zor coming out; his claws went around Astrid’s neck. Her eyes were shocked.Go, Zaria, I will finish this. His eyes burned red as he walked slowly to Astrid. You will forget today’s events, remember the demon, and be terrified of him. His hand waved over her face, and she dropped to the floor.I ran to the class, my heart pounding, hands shaking. I sat at my desk, and Noctis touched my hand, and I was startled.Zaria, are you okay? His eyes looked concerned.I can’t breathe…I managed to say before darkness took me. I opened my eyes to find myself in Noctis' arms, as he carried me to the infirmary."Doctor," he shouted. "She is not feeling well." Then he sat me on the bed. I tried to sit up; he pushed me gently down. Zaria, please, you lost consciousness.The doctor checked me and turned to Noctis. She is very stressed, needs to eat better, and find ways to calm h

Zaria’s POVValerian sent me the dress with a flower and a note. “ Be my date for the spring ball”.I smiled, then I remembered that Malacar was avoiding me completely, and I knew he was protecting me. But I missed him so bad. Looking in the mirror, I didn’t recognize myself, and something weird was happening to my hair; the tips turned red. Hmm, I wonder why?The knock on the door made me jump. I opened it to see Valerian, in an impeccable suit; yeah, he was handsome. But nothing compared to Malacar; oh Goddess, now I’m comparing them.His eyes went over my body, and they met mine; I saw his desire. Shit.You look…amazing…there are no words…Like a Goddess, Noctis said from behind him. Now can we go?I took one of each arm, and we walked to the massive ballroom. The dress was a deep night satin, with straps and a low back. As soon as we walked inside, Malacar’s eyes focused on me, despite the woman hanging on his arm. Who was she? Jealousy ruined my mood.Oh look at you, human. Two m

Zaria’s POVI channeled my anger into the weapons class and training. I felt stronger, yet in the back of my mind, I knew it was a matter of time before Astrid would try something more deadly on me.Malacar is teaching me new fighting techniques, only known to his kingdom. It was brutal, and my body was bruised; I didn’t care. He asked me to stop, and I kept coming at him with the small sickle knives. I would never hurt him, and I felt the surge of anger running inside of me.Then I turned and dropped the curved knives. Walked in front of the target and started to throw knives at it, fast and with precision.I heard clapping behind me. Valerian.Zaria, you’ll be undefeated. I never saw anyone so fast and accurate at throwing knives. May I? his hand went out, and I handed him one.He threw it at the target, close to the middle. Maybe I should practice more. He turned to me and got closer. Malacar was watching him. Kissed my forehead. I want to spend some time with you…She’s busy, he s

Zaria’s POVThe sun was setting, and we all stood at the edge of the forest. Malacar had us split into groups; Noctis was next to me, and Valerian had no choice but to be in another team. I met Astrid's eyes. Hatred.I ignored her as we got the instructions. It was good practice before the trials. Then we heard a large truck approaching, its beams high.The dean jumped down. Change of plans, students: pick your weapons of choice, tonight… You hunt and kill. I held my breath. Noctis reached for my hand.The doors to the back of the truck opened, and I heard chains. Strigoi, underworld beasts, and shadows came out. I shook my head. No! I shouted.I ran in front of them and put my arms out. You can’t do that! Behind me, I felt them, their pain. I could hardly breathe; they did this on purpose to weaken me."Zaria, move out of the way," the dean said, angry.You’ll have to kill me first; this is murder. They are part of a faction!They’re all just disgusting monsters, Astrid said. Why are

Zaria’s POVMy demon? I repeated the words... I... don’t know how…Malacar rushed behind me.Close your eyes, relax your body, listen to my voice…now open them. When I did, the demon in front of me was beautiful. Her eyes glowed red, and we both said the same thing at the same time: MATE.Malacar let out a breath. I turned to him. There is something I do not understand; never mind.I smiled excitedly at him. I have a demon, like you; we are from the same faction…I was jumping on the bed.Zaria, name her and call her back. Tomorrow are the trials; you need to rest.I pouted, but I knew he was right. Her name is Sia, I said, touching her sharp claws. She stood next to Zor.Okay, get back inside. Her eyes glowed, but she listened and got inside my body; such a feeling. Like an adrenaline rush, for a second.Malacar… hold me, I said after we lay back in bed. His arms wrapped around my body, and his hand went over my face. I slept in an instant.I smelled coffee, then I opened my eyes. He w
