Chapter 1

Afternoon. I hid in a library corner. I weakly reviewed crappy spells.Then, the comm-crystal in my pocket buzzed rapidly against my thigh twice.I took it out. A secret thrill replaced my awful mood.It was Shadow.A new message popped up with a photo.[My Light, ancient spell research is finally over today. I really crave your reward... Preferably you naked.]My heart skipped a beat.Even through the screen, I felt his intense, knee-weakening possessiveness.I was about to reply with my usual dirty talk. Then my focus shifted from the glowing spellbook.A bookshelf peeked out in the background.A carved gargoyle wrapped in thorns sat on the corner.My smile vanished. My blood ran cold.That was Blackwood Academy. The signature bookshelf deep in the Restricted Section.The only one in the entire magic world.I froze completely. Mind blank.You have got to be kidding me!Ten minutes ago, I walked right past that shelf. I was checking a basic potions paper!He is at Blackwood?This myst

It was a quill.Last month, Shadow picked out a quill at Meridian's Quills, a magic shop on Nocturne Avenue.He sent a bunch of photos for me to choose.I instantly loved a starlight quill made from a Shadow-mare tail feather.Radiant, mysterious, and dangerous.The owner told him about the rare mutant feather. It was the only one in the store.Shadow bought it on the spot.He said holding it felt like holding my hand.I took a deep breath. I opened the chat.[Baby, how is that starlight quill I picked for you?]He replied instantly.[I'm holding it right now grading papers. It's very smooth. Just like your skin. Why ask? Do you want me?]I ignored his usual flirting.He is using it right now!Back in the library, Professor Leo was my prime suspect.All I had to do was check his office. Look for that unique quill on his desk. Boom. Truth revealed!I grabbed my unfinished Transfiguration essay as an excuse. Marched straight to his corridor.I reached Leo's office. The door was cracked o

Chapter 3

All afternoon, I felt like a soulless zombie.I didn't hear a word in Charms or Magic History.The comm-crystal in my pocket buzzed like crazy against my leg.All from Shadow.[Baby, still busy?][What do you want to see tonight? I'll wear it for you.][Or... I wear nothing?]Looking at these explicit words, I felt sick.I didn't reply. He clearly panicked.The messages bombarded me.[Light? What's wrong? Don't scare me.][Did I do something wrong? Tell me, I'll fix it. Please, talk to me.]Anxious. Humble. Lost.Such a good act, Professor Leo.I took a deep breath. My trembling fingers typed a line.[Shadow, are you hiding something from me?]He replied instantly.[Absolutely not! My soul and body, every inch belongs only to you.]Belongs only to me.I laughed coldly.Just then, the crystal lit up again.[I'm buying a new robe from Veridian's Vestments tomorrow. Help me pick one, baby?]My chance came.I opened his magic catalog. I coldly scanned the low-key luxury styles. I scrolled

The air went dead still.Next second? Jaws hit the floor.That world-ending black magic storm? The second the dragon met my eyes, it stopped. Just stopped.The blood-red drained from its eyes. Fast.It gave me one long, deep look. Then it threw its head back and let out a deafening roar. Its massive body morphed into a violent black tornado. It smashed right through the broken ceiling. Vanished into the clouds.The storm died instantly.Everything happened way too fast. People just collapsed to the floor.My heart was hammering against my ribs. Took me forever to catch my breath.I almost died.People were shaking. Helping each other up to evacuate. Right then, a silver origami crane fluttered through the wreckage. Landed flawlessly on my shoulder.It unfolded. Professor Julian's voice came out. Cold. Absolute."Elara. My office. Now."I stared at it.Now?!We literally just survived a dragon attack. Everyone was evacuating. And the strictest, coldest professor on campus was summoning

Chapter 5

I thought I had the wrong place.In the luxurious room, glowing fairy dust floated in the air.Warm, intimate light spilled on the deep red velvet carpet. This vibe was totally a carefully prepared date.Julian Thorne sat at the end of the long table.He took off his rigid black coat. He only wore a tailored dark shirt."Good evening, Elara." His voice was gentle and raspy. It held a trace of hidden tension."Professor, this is too expensive." I gripped my hem nervously. I didn't dare step forward."I arrived a few minutes early. Sit." He pointed to the seat across from him.I sat down stiffly.He snapped his fingers casually.The door opened. A line of waiters in tailcoats walked in.Silver platters were uncovered one by one.Mermaid Tear Cocktail. Fried Pixies.And a small dish of extremely expensive, top-tier Dragon Liver Pate.I stared dead at the food. My blood froze.These were extremely obscure, weird pairings.The deadliest part: it was exact.Just last week, I was too hungry t

After calling him a jerk, I grabbed my bag and rushed out.I was ready for this dragon professor to blast me to dust with a killing curse.But he didn't.He just stood there. His massive body was stiff. An extremely heavy hurt crossed his eyes.Before I ran out the restaurant door, an irresistible force grabbed my wrist.Julian wordlessly pulled open the door of a wildly luxurious custom magic hovercar."Get in. It's too late. I'll take you back." His voice was tight, carrying an undeniable command.I bit my lip. I sat stiffly in the passenger seat.The car was frighteningly quiet.Suddenly, a melody drifted from the top-tier crystal speakers.Then, a female singer's tragic, sorrowful chant.The lyrics were all about betrayal, lies, and being ruthlessly abandoned by a lover.I widened my eyes in horror.The most cold-blooded, unapproachable iceberg professor was actually listening to cheap breakup songs?Julian's large, bony hands gripped the steering wheel tight."I was just misunder

"Professor, my inspection task is done. I'm going back." I turned cleanly."Hey! Elara, don't rush off!" Leo panicked. He frantically blocked me.He knew very well. If I left, Julian would give him a cold face. His perfect persona in front of his girlfriend would collapse.He needed me as a stepping stone to liven things up.I glared coldly at his desperate panic.Leo gritted his teeth. He made a huge decision and threw his trump card."Just stay and finish this walk with us. I'll lend you my rare Transfiguration manuscript to read!"I raised an eyebrow. That manuscript contained all the mandatory spells for finals.For the damn final grades, I took a deep breath. I stared dead at Leo's totally fake face.You want to use me as a prop? Fine. Let's see who burns first."Deal. It's a promise! But you better not regret keeping me here."Night fell. We dined at a tavern in Westwood.Under the dim candlelight, Chloe leaned sweetly against Leo. "Last month was our three-year anniversary. Leo

"Stay close to me." Julian's low voice was clear in the noise.The Moonlight Curio Market was packed.Weird magic items gave off creepy glows.Julian's massive body blocked the front.He used his massive frame to part the sea of people for me.He didn't hold my hand. He just hovered his arm protectively by my waist.That absolute control yet extreme restraint slowly broke down my defensive walls.In this dangerous underground market, with him by my side, I felt a fatal sense of safety.I even started drowning in the thrill of his total protection.Suddenly, a tragic roar tore through the market noise.The magic in the air boiled instantly."Run! The smuggled ancient beast broke out!"The crowd screamed in terror. They scattered madly.Stalls were smashed. Colorful potion bottles shattered everywhere.I turned back in shock.A high-level Shadow Beast, huge as a hill, broke free from a shattered cage.It reeked of sickening blood.Next second, it locked onto the weakest prey in the area.

Chapter 9

The next morning, my hangover felt like a troll was using my skull as a war drum.I rubbed my temples. I forced myself out of bed.Last night's terrifying scenes still played in my mind.Julian lost control completely to save me. Puking black blood. It made my chest tight.I had to go to his room to grab potion ingredients. To brew a pain-relief tonic for him.I just walked to his door. A sickening voice came from the crack."Professor Julian, I really didn't mean it..."It was Leo.His eyes were red. He complained to Julian like a caught thief.My anger instantly flared into an inferno. The string of reason snapped."Leo Vance, you disgusting liar!" I kicked the door open. I rushed right in. I jammed my finger at his chest and yelled.Both men in the room froze."Elara? What crazy fit are you throwing?" Leo stepped back in fear."Stop pretending!" My eyes were red. All my grievance and anger exploded. "I am the 'Light' you tricked for a year! You show off your three-year romance with

Chapter 10

Julian's fingertips were slightly cold. They gently touched the skin on my neck.He held the raw crystal. His voice was low and trembling. "Elara, you are not magicless. The ancient bloodline flowing in you is extremely rare. It can soothe and withstand the violent dragon curse."He said my scent and bloodline originally awakened his sleeping mark."Then why didn't you just tell me!" I glared at him. My eyes burned."I didn't dare." The most terrifying boss in school looked like a child who made a mistake. He lowered his long eyelashes. His voice held a humble plea. "I was afraid you'd think I only approached you to break the curse. I was afraid you'd hate me. When you blocked me, I lost my mind. So I could only follow the method you mentioned to clear misunderstandings. Thick-skinned, staying by your side, step by step."I was stunned.Memories flooded back.Staying close in the dangerous Westwood forest. Clumsy testing in the high-end restaurant.And at the market. To save me, he tur
