Zodiac Academy Novels & Stories

It was supposed to look abandoned to keep curious humans away but that never works, so the entire school is under a cloaking spell of some kind. I let out a defeated sigh and make sure my hoodie is pulled over my face, before trudging along the walkway into the academy. As I enter, my eyes catch sight of white and black feathers. Tears fill my eyes and my hand flies over my mouth to stifle a sob. Julie quickly rushes to comfort me. She puts her arms around me, careful to not touch my back. She shushes me quietly, and I try to stop the tears from escaping. "It's alright Luciana, everything will be fine—they’re just like you," she says in my ear. "No they're not, they have wings."

"Like what I've said, the stone was missing. My brother noticed it this morning so forgive us if we have disturbed your sweet dreams." "What is the stone for?" Zanaya asked next. “The stone represents the academy since it serves as its symbol,” Chris replied. "It could do harm to the name of the academia when it was used the wrong way." "In the end, the academy may close when it couldn't be found." Oh my, so that's how important that stone was. "How does it look like? We could help in finding it," Zanaya said with eagerness. "Its color is white and on its center, the trademark of Zyfford Academy was engraved."

The academy had always believed itself untouchable. Neutral ground. Sacred ground. A bridge between realms. Its towers pierced the sky in elegant spires of white stone and silver glass. Defensive wards shimmering faintly across its perimeter, ancient enchantments designed to repel invasions. They had always been prepared for riots, or so they thought. For rogue factions. For political pressure. They had not prepared for Aldric. The academy’s full title was known formally as the Academy of Concordance Between Realms a name so long it was rarely spoken outside treaties. It had an history of raising most promising Weres and lycans

Aqua could hear their conversation echoing around her, vivid and clear. “We can’t ignore the changes, Mira. They’re not teaching these kids to protect them. They’re preparing them for something far more sinister,” her father said, urgency lacing his words. Her mother’s eyes widened, a flicker of fear crossing her face. “But they trust us. We can help them. We have to believe they want what’s best for everyone.” The scene shifted again, and Aqua found herself standing outside the coven academy under a blanket of stars. It was the dead of night, and her parents were hurriedly packing their belongings into a car, shadows of fear etched across their faces.

After they shifted, they were placed in the upper class, where they would periodically shift so their wolves could grow stronger. Once they could stay in wolf form for longer periods, they would eventually graduate from the academy. Most of our people did not graduate from the academy until they were twenty-one. There was electricity in the air tonight. Something felt different tonight. It felt like I would meet my mate. I'm twenty-six and have not met my mate yet. I knew that I would eventually. The moon goddess had told me that she would be special. After visiting g with everyone, I went back to my house. I changed into an outfit I didn't care if got shredded. I was going to shift and run

"She's terrified of her gift, thinks she's cursed. If your academy can help her, I'll send her gratefully. But please, keep her safe." Construction began on the academy in early summer. By autumn, the building was ready. A beautiful structure designed to accommodate thirty students, with classrooms, dormitories, training grounds, and a library. "The Nexus Academy," Dante announced at the dedication ceremony. "A place where gifted young wolves learn to embrace their abilities rather than fear them. Where being different is celebrated, not condemned." Twelve students enrolled in the first year. Their ages ranged from four to eight, their abilities varied wildly. There was Kai, a six-year-old w

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.

"All I would ask in return is loyalty. When it matters. And it will matter, Sera, sooner than you think." "Loyalty to what, exactly." "To the house that decided to protect you, instead of merely study you." Cassia leaned in slightly, and her voice dropped, gentler now, almost kind, and that was somehow the worst part of all of it, how easy the kindness sounded, how practiced. "You're new here. You don't yet understand how this academy actually works. The masters teach the lessons. But the noble houses decide who survives them." Her eyes held Sera's, steady, patient. "I would very much like you to survive, Sera. I'd like that a great deal."

"At the gathering. Yes, I know you warned me this might happen. No, I'm not ready to discuss it yet. But you were right. The signs are becoming impossible to ignore." I creep out of my room and position myself at the top of the stairs where I can hear better. Margaret is in her bedroom now, and her voice is getting more strained. "The girl needs training. She needs guidance. She needs people who understand what she actually is, because I clearly don't. You said the academy could help. You said they specialized in situations like this." My stomach drops. Academy. Training. Understanding what I am. "I know they were supposed to wait. I know the plan was to give her a normal life for as long as

There was no way she'd be able to sleep with so many questions in her head anyway. As they sat on Carrie's bed with bowls of cereal, Carrie began to explain. "Shadowbrook Academy is a school for supernatural beings, or genuses. It helps us develop and perfect our supernatural abilities, and also nurtures any natural talents or hobbies we have, all while giving us a regular education." Zeda's eyes widened as Carrie listed the different genuses in the academy: witches, mages, werewolves, vampires, and demons. She choked on her cereal when Carrie mentioned that Lucian was the only demon.
