Tripping Arcadia Novels & Stories

As usual, the duo had smiles plastered on their faces, seeing them, a pang of jealousy pricked her heart. Just then, Aria's eyes met hers, and a smirk spread across her face. In a swift move, she linked her arm with Travon's, her eyes never leaving Athena's face. It was a subtle yet provocative gesture, meant to spite her. Travon, seemingly oblivious to the Athena’s presence, smiled and asked Aria, “Hey, what's with the sudden arm-linking?” Aria's smile grew wider, her eyes sparkling with mischief. “Oh, c'mon, it’s just a friendly gesture, Travon, do you always have to be so serious.” She laughed out loud.

I bit the insides of my lips as my heart was thudding in irregular beats as it was suddenly too hard for me to breath like I had been left in a confined space. “This is ridiculous and I promise, I can fix this. I, Alicia—” I was saying but got interrupted when I felt the three of them glaring at me. “Finish that sentence, I dare you.” Adrian stated. He was the eldest among the triplets and I think the one I should be most afraid of. The aura he was exuding was quite intimidating and I felt my mouth snapping back close in their own accord. “Isn’t it the best thing for the four of us? I'm sure there's no way you would want me to be mated…” I trailed off when I felt Alexander stoop low and lift

Beyond them, life bustled: children laughed and ran barefoot across cobblestones, warriors trained in courtyards, and market stalls brimmed with goods under arched rooftops. Seraphina turned slowly, trying to take it all in. It was beautiful… and overwhelming. “It’s like stepping into a different world,” she said quietly. “One that doesn’t want to be found.” “Welcome to Arcadia,” Nicolas said, offering his hand. “Where nothing is ordinary.” They entered the courtyard, and sentinels dressed in black lined up in formation. A bard stepped forward and called out loudly, “All hail His Grace, Prince Nicolas Xhovani, seventh prince of Arcadia!”

“I won’t be taking too much of your time if only you would cooperate with me” “Well, let’s get straight to business,” Alice said. “Please I beg you let me go,” Arianna said sobbing. “You should get one thing straight, I would always defeat you in this life and the aftermath!” Alice yelled. “I’ll let you go just like you’ve pleaded” Alice set as she let loose of the trap holding Arianna’s leg. “Now run as fast as you can!” Alice said. “Thank you,” Arianna said and immediately started to run, she continued and suddenly Alice appeared right in front of her, causing her to trip but this time she held on to herself and didn’t fall to the ground.

He hops in and drives off to a place I don’t know. Jordan's POV Okay, I know it is wrong to reject her. She is a really wonderful person. I am scared of the idea of having a mate. What I did was not forgivable; I had just hoped she didn’t accept the rejection soon. As I drive, we listen to The Wonder Years by Jon Bellion. We drive in silence and soon enough, she dozes off. I can't help but giggle when a lock of hair falls to her face and she blows it away in frustration. She looks so cute.

"I just wanted to go somewhere where nobody could find me. When I went there, I was already drunk. I didn't even realize where I was going. And when I saw this bar at the side of the road, I just got in." "Don't do that again. It's not safe." She didn't know what trouble we were about to fall into last night. If Ace's guards weren't there… She nodded, giving me a small smile. "I won't, I promise." "Alright, anyone needs some coffee? Because I definitely need one. All of these are giving me a headache," Casie exclaimed, raising up on her feet from the couch we all were sitting on. "Tea, please," I said.

I ditched the ballet recital last minute, so he's probably going to chew my ass for that one. Or Bailey called him to let him know I was a complete douchebag. Probably the latter. "I know I bailed on the ballet thing." I say in lieu of greeting. "Please tell Madison I'll make it up to her, but I had to do something important." "Where are you right now?" There's a panic in Arc's voice that has me sitting up straight in my seat. "I came to see Bailey. Why, what's wrong?" "You have to get back to campus, now!" Arc lets out a sob that has my insides twisting. "There's been an accident!"

But hell—he hadn’t planned on a lot of things. The photo sat crooked under a magnet on the mini fridge nearby. Faded but not forgotten. Aria’s grin wild and gap-toothed. Jamison’s arm slung over Kade’s shoulder. All three of them covered in dirt and laughing after chasing the neighbor’s rogue goat through the creek. Before the death. Before the silence. Before Mason fucking Dorsey. Kade’s jaw clenched as he yanked the photo down. He held it for a beat, thumb brushing over her face, still the same goddamn girl and yet not at all.

I might need to go to the mansion's gym later because I think I'm getting out of shape. Once I finished my meal, I brought it to the sink and decided to wash it since I was shy to leave it there because the sink was clean. People here were disciplined. I think I've figured that out when I first went through Master Zorylle's booby traps. I climbed back up to the second floor and ignored Macky's harsh remarks about the game. "Who in the world trips over bermuda grass and twists their ankle?!" I smiled and silently climbed the stairs. This mansion feels so normal. Unlike the Nirvana mansion where you could see my former sisters casting spells everywhere.

She's definitely back! I have to get acquainted with Daniel but he's not here. I quickly dialed Sade Johnson's phone number but the line was busy. Dang it! I tried again but it wasn't reachable. I guess I'll just go home then, I have a party to prepare for anyways. It's almost 4pm. I turned to leave but suddenly I tripped and fell on a pebble hurting my legs in the process. I could've sworn it wasn't there before. Suddenly two legs blinded my vision. I quickly got off the ground and dusted off my butt.
