Katniss Evergreen Novels & Stories

KYLE’S POV. “Yes, that’s it! Why do you ask?” Katniss looks at me, waiting. I keep my hands flat at my sides, my mind spinning out of control. Sandalwood. The exact scent from the antidote. One that was packed full of ancient, heavy Fae energy.

Somehow, Lucian had either changed his personality overnight or Joanne had pressured him, because he actually started apologizing to me. He sent messages to me every single day without fail. [Lucian: The fat orange cartoon cat is really cute, but I still think our three little furballs at home are cuter. Should we get another cat to keep them company?] [Lucian: That Eastorian place is amazing. I heard the ingredients are flown in fresh from Boreas every day. We should go try it.]

Sasha Katerina is leaning forward in her chair, elbows on the table, hands clasped beneath her chin. Her eyes glint with humor. She knows she surprised me and is reveling in it. Gathering myself, I take a second to look at her. None of my guesses earlier on how she'd dress were right. Katerina has chosen a silky green asymmetrical gown that exposes her smooth shoulders while hinting at the dip of her waist. Her long hair is wound into a messy bun, with thin strands framing her face. It creates a casually sexy look, as if she just rolled out of bed and ended up here.

Jessica's breath caught and this time neither of us moved away. “ Then don't pretend,” she whispered It wasn't loud and dramatic but i could hear which was enough for me My control snapped. My hands at her waist held a little more firmly but carefully and restrained. “Elena” I began to surrender and she tilted her head slightly. “ You keep saying my name like it's supposed to stop me.” She reached up slowly, fingertips brushing the edge of my shirts. “ Do whatever you need to do. Am ready." That word alone made me lose every control I had in me.

Her eyes scanned me before she flipped her hair. “Good. Because you don't want to get on my bad side, newbie. Kael is mine and I am betrothed to him" she came closer with a step “I, Ivy Blackhart, Head of student council, daughter of tycoon Blackhart and the queen of Evergreen " she paused. “I want you to remember that before I do this…" Before I could process whatever she said and meant, I felt a hard shove and my balance vanished instantly. The world tilted and my foot slipped on the slick stone near the edge of the pool, cold panic surged through my bones as I realized I was falling.
