1: The Boy Who Smelled Like Fire

~ Kaia ~The pill slipped from my fingers and bounced once against the wooden floor, then again, before disappearing beneath my bed."Seriously?"I dropped to my knees, reaching into the darkness — dust, a missing sock, the corner of an old hockey puck, but no pill. A knot tightened in my stomach. It was just one pill. Dad always packed extras. Still, something about losing it made my skin prickle.The bedroom door swung open before I could crawl back out."There you are." Dad stood in the doorway, already dressed, a small paper cup in one hand. His eyes went straight to the empty space in my palm. "Did you take it?""No." I pushed myself up, brushing the dust from my knees. "I dropped—"His expression changed. Not annoyance. Fear. Real fear."Take another." His voice cracked through the room like a whip."It's just one—""It's not just one."The paper cup rattled slightly in his hand. His fingers were shaking, and that scared me more than anything else. Dad never panicked — not when

2: The Royal Elite Unit

~ Kaia ~The bottle spun across the ice before coming to a stop. Every muscle in my body locked.No. Not here. Not now.I pushed off instinctively, reaching for it before anyone else noticed, but another skate slid in front of me. Black leather. Silver blades. A royal crest. The bottle stopped against the toe of the skate.My pulse stumbled.Slowly, the owner bent down and closed long fingers around the white plastic bottle. When he straightened, I found myself staring into a pair of cold grey eyes.The tallest Pierce brother.He turned the bottle over once. No label — thank God. Dad had insisted years ago that every emergency bottle stay completely blank. No names. No dosage. Nothing."What is it?" His voice was calm. Controlled. Almost too calm.I swallowed. "Vitamins."One dark eyebrow lifted. "For hockey?""I get migraines."The lie came so easily it almost scared me.He studied me for another second — not the bottle, me — like he was trying to fit together pieces of a puzzle only

3: The Captain's Test

~ Kaia ~I barely slept. Every time I closed my eyes, I saw golden eyes staring at me across the rink.*Mine.*The word still echoed somewhere deep inside my chest. I told myself I hadn't actually heard it — there was no way I could have. Van Pierce had been halfway across the arena. Maybe I'd imagined it. Maybe the warmth in my chest was getting worse. Maybe Dad was right. Maybe I should've taken another pill.I reached for my emergency bottle before I even climbed out of bed.Three pills left.I counted them twice before sliding the bottle back into my pocket. Somehow, that didn't make me feel any safer.I sighed and sat up in bed. Today was my first session with the Royal Elite Unit. Somehow, that thought was even more terrifying than the strange prince who couldn't stop staring at me.The private rink sat behind the main arena, hidden beneath a glass dome that overlooked the frozen mountains surrounding Crescent Moon Academy. It was beautiful. And completely empty.Well — almost.

4: The Charming Prince

~ Kaia ~The first thing I felt when I woke up was pain. The second was panic.I shot upright, my hand flying straight to my pocket before I was fully awake. The bottle was still there. Three pills. Still three. I let out a breath I hadn't realized I'd been holding."You're losing it," I muttered to myself.After yesterday's training, I probably deserved to. Every muscle in my body protested as I climbed out of bed — shoulders aching, thighs burning, even my hands sore from gripping my stick for hours. Ryker Pierce hadn't simply trained me. He'd dismantled me.I caught my reflection in the dorm mirror while buttoning my academy shirt. Dark circles beneath my eyes. Hair tucked carefully beneath my cap. Binder secure. Voice low. Kai Blackwood stared back at me.Good. Kaia could stay hidden a little longer.The morning classes blurred together — Introduction to Supernatural History, Combat Theory, Pack Politics. Apparently every class at Crescent Moon assumed you'd one day be responsible

5: A Lie Worth Keeping

~ Kaia ~The words caught in my throat. Blackwood Estate. I couldn't say that. Not here. Not to Luca Pierce. The surname was safe — Dad had built the whole disguise around it — but the estate itself was something else. A real place. A place someone could look up, ask around about, connect to a family that wasn't supposed to exist inside these walls."Kai?" Luca tilted his head."We're from—""Pierce."A deep voice cut across the courtyard. Luca sighed dramatically. "Duty calls." He glanced over his shoulder, then back at me, grinning. "Saved by terrible timing.""I'm not complaining.""I noticed." He gave me a lazy salute, already backing away. "We'll continue this conversation later."*Later.* I wasn't sure if that was a promise or a threat.He jogged off toward Ryker, who waited near the stone staircase without so much as glancing my way. I stood there another moment, pulse finally slowing. One question, and I'd nearly destroyed everything. I really needed a better fake hometown.B
