FATED TO FALL: REBORN AS THE HYBRID VILLAINESS!의 모든 챕터: 챕터 1 - 챕터 8

Aurora Veyl 💜 The coastal highway stretched ahead of us under a sky that still looked mostly friendly. Dad had the radio on low, some soft rock station that made Mom hum under her breath. Ethan sat beside me in the back, already halfway through a bag of chips he wasn’t supposed to open until we got to Aunt Maren’s.“You’re going to ruin your appetite,” Mom said without turning around.“I’m building endurance,” Ethan replied. “Uncle’s promotion dinner is going to be a marathon of talking.”I snorted. “You’re just scared she’ll ask about your grades again.”“She asks everyone about their grades. It’s her love language.”Dad glanced at us in the rear-view mirror, smiling. “Be nice. She went to a lot of trouble. We’re celebrating.”I leaned my head against the window. Last night’s movie still lingered in the back of my mind—the hybrid villainess standing in the rain, furious and alone. I had gone to sleep still shaking my head at her. Now we were on our way to a family dinner, and the o

Kael Draven🖤I sat on the throne of black stone and listened to my generals argue about border patrols for the third time that morning. The same reports. The same concerns. The same careful voices that never dared tell me anything I did not already know. My fingers tapped once against the armrest. The sound alone was enough to quiet the nearest official.I was not interested.Then the scent reached me.It slid into the throne room like smoke, soft and impossible to ignore. Sweet in a way that had nothing to do with flowers. Sharp in a way that had nothing to do with blood. It wrapped around my senses and pulled every thought I owned into a single, violent focus.My wolf surged forward so hard I nearly stood.*She’s here.*I froze.*Our mate is here.*The words slammed through my skull with the force of a claim I had waited years to hear and had long stopped expecting. I kept my face expressionless through sheer will. Around me the court continued speaking, unaware that the air itsel

Aurora Veyl 💜 I left the academy grounds through the eastern gate because it was the quietest and because no one tried to stop me. Apparently being universally hated came with one small advantage: people preferred not to get close enough to ask where I was going.The path toward the Forbidden Forest started as a neat gravel trail and quickly lost interest in remaining neat. Within minutes the trees closed in, taller and darker than the ones that framed the academy courtyards. I shoved my hands into the pockets of the blazer that still didn’t feel like mine and started talking to myself because the alternative was listening to how loud my own footsteps had become.“Since nobody is going to tell me where the well is, why not turn this into an adventure?” I muttered. “Honestly, what else am I supposed to do? I’ve lost my family, I’m stuck in somebody else’s body, and I don’t even know if this is a dream or some ridiculously expensive supernatural nightmare. What exactly are we supposed

Aurora veyl 💜 I eventually decided I couldn’t stay in the forest forever, no matter how nice the company was. Nightshade Academy still existed, and if I disappeared for too long someone would probably invent a new crime to pin on me.“Okay, big guy,” I said, giving the wolf one last scratch behind the ears. “I have to go back.”I took three steps toward the path.The wolf took three steps with me.I stopped. He stopped. His grey eyes looked up at me with pure innocence, as if he had no idea why I was frowning.“No,” I told him. “You stay. I go. That’s the arrangement.”I started walking again. Soft paws padded beside me immediately. Every time I slowed down, a warm nose nudged my hand or a heavy head pressed against my arm like a reminder that I was not, in fact, alone.It was adorable.It was also becoming a problem.By the time the academy walls came into view through the trees, I was properly worried. I stopped and crouched so we were closer to eye level—or as close as anyone cou
