He slumped back, consciousness fleeing into the cider's oblivion, his head lolling against the booth's wooden frame. I sat in the silence, the rain drumming against the roof, the geas burning on my wrist, the weight of Vance's confession settling in my chest like stones dropped into deep water.

I stand there, frozen, watching my entire life collapse in the span of a single evening. There's a woman in a photograph who has my face. There's a letter that Margaret has been hiding for years. There are government agents coming tomorrow morning. And in ten minutes, I'm supposed to walk away from the only home I've ever known. "Arwen, please," Margaret says. "Upstairs. Your bag. Now." I go upstairs and start throwing clothes into a backpack, my hands shaking so badly I can barely hold anything. Outs

They all laughed at the maid. The wolfless orphan. The charity case. The girl who slept on the floor in her adopted sister’s room and carried her bags like it was an honor. Everyone at Alpha Academy thought they knew her. They were wrong. Two months ago, something ancient woke up inside her. Not a soft glow. Not a polite shift. A roar that cracked the earth, tore through a monster the instructors thought was impossible to kill, and lit up every magical sensor in the academy like a flare. Now the world is hunting the girl they called weak. Cassian Rowe — cold, calculating heir of Ashmere — is already studying her like she’s the most dangerous puzzle he’s ever solv

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.

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.

Around the whole campus is a ring of thick forest, beyond which are the high gates that keeps us safely trapped, like an expensive cage. When mom had driven me to the school as a Year One student, I had been fascinated and excited to finally grace the halls of Acadia Academy. A week later however, I wanted to burn it down. It was Bibah who wrestled the matches out of my hands, figuratively and literally

Five Years' Later Alpha Zach Hilton, a god of business, a king of entertainment industries, and the alpha of alpha's, sat in his office armchair, looking at the city below him. In the city, a warm wind blew as people sat in parks, relishing the strength they had lost during their day of work. The sky had turned orange, with pink rays illuminating all over the place.
