"It’s gonna happen every night," Nico broke the silence.She asked softly, "How do you wake up? I mean I tried but...,""I wake up when..., when it’s over,"She swallowed and glanced at him. He probably had no idea she saw what he was dreaming about, and the way his body reacted."It’s the first time...I’m waking up in the middle of it," He added.Yeah, and it was all thanks to the pendant that weakened Josephine in the process. Daniela was a little worried about both of them, but she didn’t want to show him how much she cared. Whatever he had gone through was his problem - and everyone has problems."It’s because you touched me, and...," She cursed inwardly, then continued, "Well, let’s just say the pendant reacted to your...intense emotions and helped you wake up,"She felt him look at her, but she didn’t look back. She was afraid she would get caught up in the look, and her heart would pound much faster."I wear this pendant for a good reason, Nico," She carried on, "And I would ne

“…Did you kiss me?”Hellcat stopped so abruptly he nearly tripped over his own feet.Slowly…He turned around.His expression was one of complete disbelief.“…Have you lost your mind?”“Then explain your lips.”“My lips?”Hellcat instinctively touched them.His eyes widened for the briefest moment.Too brief.But Hezekiah caught it.“…None of your business.”His voice cracked.Interesting.Very interesting.Hellcat immediately turned away again, shoulders stiff.Hezekiah didn’t miss the tiny flicker of panic that crossed his face.Whatever it was…He was hiding something.“You’re weird.”Hellcat spun around.“So this is the thanks I get?”“I sacrifice my sleep trying to stop your nightmares, and all I get is ‘you’re weird’?”“The thanks you’re getting…”A smirk tugged at Hezekiah’s mouth.“…is me not telling Frank you clearly like him.”Hellcat buried his face in one hand.“Can we please stop coming back to Frank?”“What exactly is wrong with you?”“Why are you so obsessed with using

He turned slowly to face her.His expression never changed.Only his eyes sharpened.For the briefest instant, she thought she saw the corner of his mouth twitch upward.The hint of amusement vanished almost immediately.“Patience,” he said quietly, “belongs to those who believe time is working in their favor.”He began circling around her.“I believe in results.”He stopped beside her.“Venom.”There it was again.She still had no idea why he insisted on calling her that.“I’ll expect you at noon.”“Three days from now.”“You’ll see me.”She answered almost automatically, standing a little straighter despite the fact that he was now directly behind her.Silence settled over the room.Several long seconds passed.She frowned.Hadn’t he already dismissed her?“Professor?”No answer.The office remained perfectly still.Everything inside seemed untouched by time.Every book aligned.Every paper stacked.Not a single speck of dust disturbed the spotless room.Deciding there was no reason

For one heartbeat, the entire Crimson Den seemed to fall silent.The music still played.Glasses still clinked somewhere in the distance.But every pair of nearby eyes drifted toward the booth where Daniela stood, her chest rising and falling with fury, while Hezekiah’s head snapped sharply to the side from the force of her punch.Even the dancers faltered for the briefest moment before slipping back into their performances as though nothing had happened.“You ruined everything.”Her voice trembled with anger.“You didn’t just mess with me. You humiliated me… and you humiliated him.”She took another step toward him.“Is destroying people really that entertaining to you, Nico?”He slowly rolled his jaw before straightening.The familiar smirk was still there, stubborn as ever, but something colder settled behind it. His orange eyes lost their lazy amusement, becoming sharper, quieter.Whether it was anger or something else, Daniela couldn’t bring herself to care.If he swung back at h

The next morning, Daniela woke to the now familiar sight of Hezekiah sleeping beside her.She stared at him for a long moment.Part of her wanted to punch him again.The other part remembered assembly started in ten minutes.Unfortunately for him, responsibility won.She climbed out of bed, washed up in record time, and returned to the room to throw on her black academy cape.Hezekiah was awake now.He lay on his back with one arm behind his head, staring absently at the ceiling as though he hadn’t a single obligation in the world.Does this guy ever attend class?Or did he honestly believe the academy revolved around him?Knowing him…Probably the second one.The morning assembly passed without incident.The faculty repeated the usual reminders about discipline, curfew and unauthorized duels before dismissing everyone.Classes followed, one after another, until the lunch bell finally rang.“So…”Daniela looked toward Liam as they stepped into the hallway.“Where are we going?”He gav
