A Drive in the Rain SKYLA I shut the door after he leaves and I lean against the wall, resting my head back. I’m unable to wipe this stupid smile off my face. Royce Arden… My stomach does a flip, and my smile vanishes. I’m falling for him… even if he isn’t Reign… I’m somehow […]

A Sister’s Vision ROYCE. “Royce!” I turn to see Charlotte run over to me. I can see she’s near to tears as she latches onto my arm. Concern fills me as she buries her head in my chest and I wrap my arm around her, rubbing her back. We may argue often, but she’s still

The Solaris Bloodline ROYCE. Sick of this family, I stand up. “Excuse me.” “Royce!” Dad snarls. “What do you mean by that, Royce?” Mom asks sharply. “Why don’t you ask your mate and favourite son exactly what they’re up to?” I growl. “Come on Charlotte, I’ll buy you some takeout.” Charlotte jumps up. “OK.” “Sit

When it’s Enough ROYCE. My heart’s racing as she sits there in front of me, looking the perfect image of the sexy little thing she is. Her seductive, tantalising behaviour is luring me in and I’m falling. Just the way I began falling for her without seeing her… the reason I began to struggle to

Squirty Cream SKYLA. } A short while later, I stretch as the music begins playing. There’s another break before the final round and it gives them time to heal. That’s why these games are the best. These fighters could go for hours and duel it out. I stand up, “Alright, you guys get the table

Doubts SKYLA. He looks away first and places his jacket aside, cocking a brow at me. “Are you alright?” He asks. “Yeah…” I say, shaking my head. He had reminded me of Reign, it threw me. I guess he and Aleric are twins but… Running my fingers through my hair, I clear my head. I’m

A Surprising Evening SKYLA. The sound of a doorbell ringing makes my eyes fly open, and I sit up, looking around my room which is now bathed in darkness. When did I even get home… I rub my head, trying to remember the last thing that had happened… I left Aleric’s office and was meant

SKYLA. Azura’s words keep replaying in my mind as I trudge toward Aleric’s office. My footsteps echo off the tiles. With the rumours going around, I don’t think him choosing his office for detention is wise, and I don’t think I want those rumours to get to Dad. Me and the professor I’m rumoured to

A Warning SKYLA “Oh, hun” Azura says, hugging me tightly. “I’m sorry that you feel that way and I do get it.” “Yeah, well it’s Dad who needs to get it.” I say icily as I pull away and sigh. “Fuck.” I hate how I feel guilty when I focus my anger on him, because

38. To a Friend  SKYLA.  Royce smiles faintly and I wonder what’s on his mind. “It’s a pleasure to meet you, too.” He says to Leo, before turning to Azura. “You must be Luna Azura, it’s an honour.” “Yes, in the flesh. Nice to meet you too.” Azura says, holding her hand out to him. He takes it, giving it a gentle squeeze before he lets go. What a gentleman. I can feel Azura’s huge eyes burning into me, and I turn my gaze to her. There’s a knowing look in her eyes and my stomach does a flip. I’m not that obvious, am I? “I’m sorry to intrude, but I was unable to get through to you regarding your training session?” Royce says quietly, those smouldering grey eyes now on me. Oh yeah, training… I can still sense Azura’s searing, unblinking gaze. That girl is some freaky shit, but I love her. “I can’t do after school. I have detention.” I reply, shrugging casually. “Detention…” His eyes flick to the open books in front of Leo and he cocks a brow. “Let’s hope you don’t get another one. After detention then, I’ll wait for you.‘ “Ok.” I reply, nodding. Damn Azura, look away! Royce looks at Leo and Azura. “I do apologise. It’s good to meet you both.” He’s about to turn away when Leo speaks. unch th “No need to apologise, however, if you have some time after Lunch, could I borrow a little of your time?” Leo says. Royce nods. “Time can’t be borrowed, but of course, I’m willing to give you some of mine.” He replies lightly. “Oh, that was a lovely line. So poetic.” Kataleya exclaims as all eyes turn to her. She blushes, shrinking into her seat as she hides behind me a little. “Yes, I can sense the romance in the air.” I add, gagging, trying to get the attention she hates, away from her. “Don’t make me change my mind on this.” Leo says pointing with the back of the pen at the textbook. Royce smirks, “I’ll see you later then.” He says to Leo before he turns and walks off. I can’t help but glance at his back and that ass. “Ahem.” Azura says and I quickly turn back, raising an eyebrow. “What?” I frown. “Nothing.” She says in a tone that says the exact opposite… Well, it’s not like I’m not going to tell her later
