Novel & Cerita The Academy Book 5

"No one is allowed on the grounds after dusk. You'd better find a place in the lower town and come back tomorrow morning." Elara stood entirely stunned, her jaw dropping as she stared at the old man. Where the hell was she supposed to find a place to sleep in a completely deserted area like this? She looked around the pitch-black surroundings, a wave of pure frustration washing over her. She really didn’t know what the founders were thinking when they built this place. The academy was located in the middle of nowhere, surrounded by a dense, suffocating forest. The capital city was nearly 1,000 kilometers away, and even the closest civilization…a small neighboring city was a staggering 200 ki

The heavy scent of cedarwood and rain immediately filled my lungs, making the skin of my thighs and belly flush hot with the sudden, sinful memory of his mouth from a few hours ago. Aiden turned slowly, his gaze sweeping over my uniform blazer, tracing down the line of my body until it anchored onto my lips. The tension in the room dropped to absolute zero. "You are under Alex’s team," Aiden noted, taking a slow, dominant step toward me until I was forced to tilt my head back to look at him. "It was intentional. He will keep the Council scouts from sniffing too close to your tent during the entire journey and competition, but I suspect the competition in the Neutral Zone is just a front, Nic

"She spent her last three days before she vanished researching the academy’s original layout. She found a blind spot in the basement floorboards." Adrian stepped past us toward the iron gate. He didn't touch the glowing red runes directly. He raised his hand, and a thin, precise layer of blue frost coated the bars, completely freezing the magical alarm system. The red glow dimmed and died. He pulled the gate open, the hinges moving silently in the cold. "The frost will only keep the alarm dead for ten minutes," Adrian warned, looking down into the pitch-black staircase leading underground. "Move." We hurried down the narrow stone stairs, the air getting colder and thicker with every step. Th

“I hate this academy.” “Everyone does,” Soreya said. “The successful ones just learn to hate it productively.” They left the Hollow Residence together and crossed the lower path toward the central medical wing. The academy looked different in this false morning light. Less haunted at first glance, more architectural. The black stone towers rose against the dim crimson sky, and the silver-veined paths glimmered beneath their feet.

"I'm sorry, I didn't mean to-" Evren didn't get up right away. He knelt there a second, testing his wrist, and when he finally looked up at me, he wasn't angry. He was grinning. Wide, delighted, entirely unbothered by the fact that I'd just put a future Alpha on the ground in front of witnesses. "There she is," he said. "Evren, I-" "Don't apologize." He rolled his shoulder and rose to his feet, unhurried, eyes bright in a way that made my stomach drop for an entirely different reason than fear. "Do you have any idea how long I've been waiting for someone in this academy to actually try?"

"This isn't only about learning to control your fire, Sera. It's about surviving long enough to matter. There are records, somewhere in this academy, that still remember her true name. If we could find them, you'd understand your own power far better than I can teach you in a practice yard." "Where would we even look." Oren glanced toward the old stone tower rising at the far edge of the academy grounds, dark windows, ivy climbing the walls in places that hadn't been trimmed in years. "The restricted library," he said quietly. "Which is exactly as dangerous to enter as it sounds, and exactly where we're going to have to go if you want the truth instead of a lesson."

"8 prompts, the Academy restaurant. Wear anything, and I am looking forward to seeing you." "I'm not," I said, but I doubted he heard, or maybe he did and didn't care. "The Academy restaurant," Riley whispered. "That's the best spot on school grounds, Kelani. Shit, he's trying to take you to somewhere classy. What would he do if you agreed to be his?"

My life will finally be calm. "Good. That's right. Whoever tries to make noise or speak I won't even think twice to tear them to pieces. Understood?" threateningly I said and they nodded quickly. "Good and we understand each other," I said then continued reading the book. Anyway, we're all here in our hang-out place. There is no class because of the event that will be held tomorrow. Do you notice that there are often no classes here at the academy? I don't even know what other students have learned here besides fighting. I am now reading a book about gods and goddesses. I'm looking for information on who really Serena and Kaizer are and why their name isn't in any book here at the academy. I

The voices still whisper words I don’t understand. “Up here,” Crimson gestures to the empty space I created, but his finger points upwards to the very top shelf. I look around for a ladder before calling for Mathias. He steps down the long row followed closely by Tawny and Althea who watch on with curious eyes. Mathias lifts me up and my fingers brush the book that sends a jolt of sparks down my hand and up my arm. Removing the book, I find a box hidden behind it. “Here,” I say as I pass books down to Crimson while my giant still holds me up.

the Butler said. I just nodded my head while my eyes fixed on the book in front of me and said, “We don’t have any books about the creatures in this world.” My Butler placed my tea in front of me and replied, “It’s because all the books that are related to other creatures and their history are in the Academy, Your Highness Celeste.” My forehead wrinkled when I heard what he had answered. Academy? I hadn’t heard about that Academy since my mind had been focusing on my sister, business, my parents, and my mate. Hearing about the Academy is making me bizarre.
