Chapter 31 Kael Rhett Thatcher stood in the doorway, and behind him loomed one of the academy’s sentinels. “Let him go, Marcus. Find someone else to play with p> Marcus sighed, rolling his eyes. “I thought you were dead. Seems you survived this time. It’s always one trip to the
Chapter 30 Kael I stood on the stage, arranging materials for the evening’s orientation sessions as each orientation officer came on stage to talk to the new students. Every few seconds, I found myself checking the door, waiting for a familiar figure that hadn’t appeared yet. I was worried about
Chapter 29 Charis I backed away. “No—wait, don’t p> But the sentinels were faster and stronger. My struggles were futile as they removed my shirt and outer clothes, and soon, I stood in front of headmistress Vale in nothing but my bottoms and the bandage around my chest. “Leave us,”

Chapter 27 Slater My hands scrubbed through my wet hair as steam rolled off my shoulders, but the heat of the shower wasn’t enough to melt the image of the scar on Charis’s stomach. I wish she would be more forthcoming about what truly happened in my absence. And it
Chapter 26 Charis I was kissing Kael by the poolside in a dream when I felt someone gently tapping my shoulder. I blinked, squeezing my eyes shut at the sunlight already filtering through the window. My body still ached from the tension of the night before. My eyes were sore
Chapter 25 Charis “Don’t say that to me, Slater. You don’t get a reward for loving someone just because they have a deformity. You had a chance to reject me, I gave you that chance when I found out we were fated mates, and you chose to accept me. It
Chapter 24 Charis I stilled, and for a heartbeat, I felt suspended between who I was before this school… and who I was becoming. He wasn’t the same boy I had rejected a year ago, and I wasn’t the same girl either. And yet here we were, tangled in the
Chapter 23 Charis Slater and I walked back slowly to his quarters. I didn’t know how to feel after everything that had happened tonight. A staff member met with us for questioning after Rhett was airlifted to the hospital and began asking us about the things we had seen. I
Chapter 22 Third Person POV The door of the sleek sedan opened with a soft click. Rain pattered gently on the tinted windows, turning the night into a distorted blur of reflections and red tail lights. A man—in his early forties slipped inside the passenger seat of the car, shutting
Chapter 21 Rhett I raised a brow. “My heart? A match has been found p> I waited, hoping she’d say something worthwhile. That maybe she’d tell me Dad had asked about me, that he gave an ultimatum of some sort. There was a message, a letter, a voice recording, a
Chapter 20 Rhett I was born with everything anyone could ever desire. A last name that opened gates. A face that made cameras weep. A bloodline so potent that even the Alpha King bent a knee—because my father could afford to buy his entire council out of existence. My family
Chapter 19 Charis. “No!” I pushed away from Kael, who seemed like he didn’t want to let go. “Aren’t you both ashamed of yourselves? I’m leaving p> I waded to the tub steps, my heart still racing from everything that had just happened. Behind me, I could hear Kael calling
Chapter 18 Charis I was strong, but they were stronger. Much stronger. They leaned in, showering my face with wet kisses, running their hands over my chest and waist while my heart was slamming against my ribs in panic. I twisted and kicked, trying to break free. “Get off me
Chapter 17 Charis I picked up the band and slipped it over my head, watching as he did the same with his. The matching accessories made us look like an actual team, though the reality couldn’t have been further from the truth. Professor Martinez appeared at the front of the
Chapter 16 Charis I swallowed hard as his toned torso came into view, and my wolf stirred within me. His body was lean yet muscular, clearly the result of rigorous training. Pale skin stretched over defined abs and broad shoulders that were begging to be touched. I cleared my throat
Chapter 15 Charis I stared in horror when we arrived at the parking lot. Three large buses sat waiting for us, their engines rumbling ominously. A camping trip. We were going on an actual camping trip. Who on earth goes on a camping trip as an orientation exercise? I wondered
Chapter 14 Charis “My name is Professor Martinez, and I’ll be your orientation guide until your final matriculation into Ravenshore Academy p> A stern-faced woman in her mid-thirties stood before the hall, addressing us. “The orientation exercise at Ravenshore spans five days only, a week if there are unforeseen circumstances,
Chapter 13 Kael I swallowed a sigh and turned around slowly, coming face to face with Eamon. Our gazes met and held. His appearance had improved since the last time I saw him. He looked better, not like the half-starved, skittish boy I had seen before. Gone were the dirty
