Zodiac Academy 4 Novels & Stories

Not two rivers of light now — but four Far below the dorms, deep in the shadows of the Academy’s old tunnels, a voice stirred from the dark — smooth, ancient, and alive “At last,” it whispered. “The First Blood wakes.”

The girl is gorgeous until she sneers at me, her eyes looking me up and down. "Watch where you are going!" She shouts in the most dramatic way possible. "And what are you wearing? If you are a student, you need to wear the color of your house. Aren't you sorted yet?" "Sorted?" I ask. Two other girls are glaring at me from behind the blonde girl, clearly her little minions. They all wear the same blue cheerleading clothes, and blondie got pointy ears—definitely Fae. "At Magic Academy, there are four houses; each one represents an element—as you can see, we all belong in the house of water. It values beauty, but beauty doesn't seem important to you since you're wearing those clothes."

Saad ko sa sarili ko saka dinampot ang remote at binuksan ang TV. “Reporting, Live, Genevive Leros. Nandito ako ngayon sa tanyag na akademya na tinatawag na Quire Academy kung saan nagmula ang ating mga famous heroes. Magkakaroon lamang tayo ng maikling interview kasama ang isang professor.” She looked at the guy beside her. “So, Sir Tim, to start this off. May I ask what’s your ability?” “Hi, good morning. It is obvious that my ability does not concern the school nor your interview. Just go straight to the point.” Ramdam ko ang pagka-bagot sa tono ng professor. Kita ko rin ang pagka-hiya ng reporter.

"And I've got a grimoire to find. It brought me you and Kiarr, perhaps it can help with Jacques too. I know you don't want to hear that, but I'm telling you the truth. And I won't force you to help me or even to accept Jacques, but I won't give up trying to get him back. He'd do the same for me- like you and Kiarr would as well." I leave my dorm room and walk down the hallway. Thanks to my punishment, I couldn't go anywhere. A rumble sounds outside the academy, shaking the walls. An earthquake? Students run from their rooms while some of them scream. "Brene." Kiarr appears beside me and leads me to a large table in the hallway. I duck underneath it along with a handful of other classmates. T

he says to me. “Thank you," I say. “So, where’s everyone from?” Landon asks. “We go around the table, talking about where we’re from, why we applied to the academy, and what we want to do with our lives. Zach is an Alpha’s second son as well. Piper is an Alpha female who didn’t find her mate, so she’s here to learn a skill other than being a Luna, according to her. And Landon is a warrior. “You must be damn strong to have been accepted here,” I say to him.

That evening, I duplicated the Bell of First Dawn,the ancient chime that hasn’t rung in a century, said to awaken the slumbering guardians of the academy. It rang at midnight. Clear,pure, and earth-shaking. Students ran out. Professors fell to their knees. Even the birds got silent. Morwen stood on her balcony, tears streaking her face, as the sound washed over her like judgment. I stand on the roof with Jason, Kael, and Elian, watching the chaos unfold. “Who’s doing all of these?” Kael whispered, very shocked. Elian shook his head. “It’s like the academy itself is healing.”

Wolves across the room roared with excitement as the arena morphed into a warzone of pillars, weights, enchanted pendulums, and targets. Only two academies remained standing: Blackwood Academy and Westly Academy ... known for producing wolves with terrifying physical strength. Scarlet stepped back, knowing this round belonged to the heavy hitters. Grey cracked his knuckles with a grin that promised violence. Ronan simply rolled his shoulders, muscles flexing beneath his uniform like coiled steel. The Westly Academy sent out their strongest wolves ... tall, brutal-looking males with veins glowing faintly from enchantments. Then someone shouted, “START!” It was chaos.

“I’ve contacted someone at Academy to help figure out what’s wrong with your powers.” “Really?” My heart races with excitement. “Does that mean my powers will be unbound soon?” “Yes, with luck. Soon your wolf will be back,” she replies. “And Academy...” I remember Hera telling me that Sheila was Academy’s youngest Head Herbalist. “Can you tell me more about Academy?” “Academy is a research institution, like a werewolf university. The best werewolves from Europe and even the world gather there to study. They also conduct various research programs.”

I must definitely be dreaming. My Uncle took a step closer. “That’s not your biggest problem tonight.” His tone was low. But it was enough to make one of Simon’s friends instinctively step back. Simon tried to look calm, though he clearly failed. “What… what exactly is in that forest?” My uncle stared straight at him for a few seconds. Then he said quietly, “Something far more dangerous than you can comprehend.” The night breeze blew gently through the garden. Silent. Unnerving. And then my uncle continued in an even colder tone.
