26. Dinner with the King SKYLA. I want to know too… I raise an eyebrow as Royce glances away, his gaze flicking to Dad. “I’m sorry. It’s been a rough evening.” Royce says to him just as a waiter places our drinks down. It irks me how she’s eyeing them both up. I should tell […]

SKYLA. “Shame I don’t get a treat from the teacher.” I whisper back before I can even stop myself. Our eyes meet, both of us still breathing hard… and then his gaze flickers to my lips. A faint frown creases his forehead, before he looks away, breaking the moment, and moves back. ” Well done…

SKYLA. Night has fallen, and I am getting dressed for dinner with Dad, Kat, and Royce. I don’t know why Dad invited him, but it makes me wonder if he ended up hearing us in the office earlier. I hadn’t heard his footsteps; I had been far too distracted… plus his hearing is better than

23. A Clash of Fire and Ice ALERIC. The school day is almost over, and I couldn’t have been more elated today, and it is not because the day is done, but because of some good news. It was shortly after lunch when I had received a message, one I now look down at again.

20. Her Father ROYCE. It’s two days later and the day the Lycan King himself is coming to the school. I’m sitting in my office mulling over yesterday’s session. Training with Skyla has been a little easier. Staring with her, warming up without complaining. She’s been quieter too, and I wonder what is on her

18. A Friend’s Warning SKYLA. The following day dawned grey and gloomy, but I felt better. Well, at least the place wasn’t wrecked, no one was dead and I can try to put the night behind me… but can I do that when I’ll be seeing him at school? Do I have any science lessons

17. My Demons SKYLA. As the door shuts behind him, my small smirk fades away, and I look around the cottage. That cosy touch feels empty… My stomach drops, guilt filling me, followed by a void, one so deep it almost hurts to breathe. This is the part I hate the most; I know my
