Chapter 001

Mirelle's POV "Move faster with my bags, Mirelle. You're an embarrassment enough without adding slow to the list — or would you rather I make your legs move for you?" Chloe's fingers curled at her side as she said it, magic sparking gold between her manicured nails like a leash she hadn't decided whether to pull yet. I kept my eyes on the path ahead. "Wouldn't want to deprive you of the pleasure. Though I hear forcing people tends to leave marks — bad for your reputation, not mine." It came out steadier than I felt. My heart was already slamming against my ribs by the time the words left my mouth. Chloe stopped. Turned. For one long second her eyes went narrow and gold-lit, and every part of me wanted to take it back, wanted to disappear into the crowd of students streaming past us toward the gates. "What did you just say...?" I dropped my gaze first. I always dropped my gaze first. "Not... nothing princess" She smiled instead of striking. That was worse. "Cute," s

Chapter 002

Mirelle's POV Hundreds of first-years crowded the registration, a bark so loud it sent birds flying from the nearby trees as new cars rolling through the gates every few seconds. Making the excited crowd even louder. I set Chloe's mountain of luggage down beside the registration desk and rolled my shoulders, feeling every hour of the drive settle into my spine at once. A professor stepped up onto a low platform at the front, voice carrying without effort. "Every first-year will undergo an aura reading before dorm and class placements are finalized. Step forward when your name is called. Place both hands on the crystal. The light doesn't lie — it will tell us exactly what you are." One by one, students climbed the platform and did exactly as told, light erupted from it — gold, violet, deep sea-blue, depending on what kind of creature stood there. The crowd gasped and clapped like they were watching fireworks instead of paperwork. Chloe and Bianca appeared from wherever they'

Chapter 003

Mirelle's POV I'd imagined a hundred ways the crown prince of Crescent Moon Kingdom might finally speak to me, surrounded by my own underwear. He didn't say a word. Hardin Scott — I'd know his name back at orientation, not in the second his hand closed around my last fallen book — simply held it out to me, platinum hair catching the corridor light like frost catching sun. His face gave away nothing. But his eyes stayed on mine a full beat longer than a stranger returning a book had any reason to, long enough that my pulse forgot how to behave itself. I opened my mouth to thank him. I didn't get the chance. "Ooh, cookies." A second boy dropped into a crouch beside my spilled suitcase, plucked one straight from the crushed container, and took a bite before I could so much as blink. Dark hair, easy grin, the kind of confidence that assumed the whole hallway existed for his entertainment. "Not bad. A little dry, but I'll allow it." "That's not — " I snatched the con

Chapter 004

Mirelle's POV The school doctors arrived faster than I thought anyone could move, cutting through the crowd with the kind of calm that only came from having done this before. They worked over him without wasted motion — pressing fingers to his throat, murmuring numbers to each other I didn't understand, forcing something down his throat that made his back arch off the grass. When they finally lifted him onto a stretcher, none of their faces matched the reassurance in their voices. One of them pulled me aside, gripping my elbow gently enough that it somehow felt worse than if he'd grabbed me hard. "Ancient bloodroot," he said, low, like the words themselves were dangerous. "Banned in every kingdom on this continent for exactly this reason. Another two minutes and we wouldn't have gotten to him in time." "Will he live?" My voice came out smaller than I wanted it to. "He'll live." A pause, weighted. "Whoever made that coffee wasn't trying to hurt him, though. You

Chapter 005

Mirelle's POV "Fine," I muttered to no one, rolling my shoulders like that would somehow help. "If I can't out-magic them, I'll just out-stubborn them." It wasn't much of a battle cry. It was the only one I had. The forest swallowed every last student within seconds of the horn. Conifer trees blotted out most of the light, what little made it through scattering gold across a floor thick with damp earth and old leaves, and the air smelled like rain that hadn't fallen yet. Everywhere I looked, someone was already ahead of me. Determination finding it's way out of every student. Claws extended mid-stride without anyone breaking pace. A cluster of witches shed their human shapes entirely and reformed as hawks, wings cutting through the canopy like they'd never been anything else. Two vampires didn't run so much as simply arrive somewhere else, the space between one tree and the next erased like it had never existed at all. I looked down at my own hands. Just hands.
