LOGINHIS FIRST VISITMIRA'S POVAfter saying goodbye to Lucien and leaving the academy clinic, Petra and I headed to the cafeteria to get both lunch and dinner packed together in neat polythene bags.Yes, we can collect food whenever we want, which is one of the perks of this school.I still haven't told my roommate that I hated the way she dragged me into Kael and Dominic's fight.Seriously, why would she even think of calling me?I don't want any more trouble.Later, I will make it clear that she should never involve me in those people's affairs again.But for now, all I can think about is food.I'm starving.Imagine not eating anything since yesterday afternoon. At this point, it feels like tiny insects are chewing on my stomach."Let's walk faster, please," I begged, tugging on Petra's arm as we headed toward our hostel.I swallowed hard when the breeze carried the aroma of our food to my nose."I can't wait!" I groaned dramatically.Right on cue, my stomach growled.Petra shook her he
IT'S INDEED A MISERYLUCIEN'S POVI quietly watched Seraphina as her chest rose and fell, her eyes widened in disbelief at what I had just told her.Even her cheeks had turned bright red.I couldn't imagine the level of shock she felt from a few words of reassurance.What a weirdo.I waited until she finally managed to compose herself before she looked up at me.A strong determination now burned in her eyes."Thank you so much, Lucien. You have no idea how much this changes everything for me."I smiled softly."Don't you think I deserve some kind of appreciation?"Her eyebrows shot up immediately."Oh, that's true. Just tell me whatever you want and I will do it. You seem to be on my side, and honestly, I see you as a partner—"I quickly raised a hand to stop her."You don't have to go that far, Seraphina."She fell silent."What I told you must never leave this conversation. Not until my father decides to call both of you and ask about your relationship status."I made sure my tone w
HOW JEALOUSY DESTROYS THE HEART~LUCIEN'S POV~"What does Mira have to do with any of this, miss?" I asked curiously.Seraphina took a deep breath and wiped her runny nose with her finger."Every time I see her, things end badly for me. Isn't that enough reason?""You still haven't told me what she actually did," I said, clenching my jaw as I tried not to lose my patience. "You're creating scenarios in your head."Seraphina froze and blinked rapidly as if she couldn't believe what she was hearing."Are you defending her right now?" she asked, disappointment filling her voice."I'm thinking like a normal person. You're cursing an innocent girl when she hasn't done anything to you.""Mira and innocence don't belong in the same sentence." Her voice hardened."Besides, the three of you were never interested in student matters until she showed up. Lucien, you know very well that none of you would question me if I said another student misbehaved. I told you she offended me. Just accept it,
HE KNOWS SOMETHINGLUCIEN'S POV"What happened?" Mira asked, her voice thick with worry as she hurried out of the car and rushed to the other side to help her friend.Petra would never come to me and ask for help. None of the students would.They were all too scared. So, when Mira asked how Petra and I ended up in the same car, I lied. Of course, Petra couldn't exactly call me out on it.I enjoyed it, too.Especially when I teased her about having a crush on Dominic to go that far for him.The poor girl nearly choked.It was amusing.I knew Mira believed me, but the bleeding weirdo sitting in my back seat didn't. He had been joking around earlier, but now he was staring at me with a face as hard and cold as stone.The two girls had already stepped out of the car.I could hear their voices outside as they comforted each other."I'm sure you realize we're at the clinic," I said, pointing toward the building. "Get your ass out of my car and find your way inside."The sight of the dried b
WHAT LOVER GIRL?MIRA'S POVI rested both hands on my waist and impatiently tapped my foot against the ground. Blood continued to spread across Dominic's mouth as if he were some suffering vampire."I regret rushing over to help you," I hissed. "You literally made me look like a fool in front of half the academy."He looked apologetic."I wanted Kael to get frustrated by the fact that I wasn't fighting back. His angry expression is exciting to me."I frowned."You are not making any sense."My lips pressed into a thin line."Has he offended you before? Why would seeing him angry make you happy?" I looked him up and down suspiciously."Hey, don't glare at me because of him," he said with a grin. "He literally beat me up, and you saw it. Who knows what would've happened if you hadn't come to my rescue?"He smiled with blood-stained teeth as though the entire situation was somehow amusing."You suck," I spat."Fine."He stepped closer."I didn't fight back because I wanted him to think I
WHAT MORE COULD GO WRONG?MIRA'S POVIt's as if Kael made my life easier the moment he got together with Seraphina.She doesn't seem threatened by my existence at all, and that should be something to celebrate.Instead, I feel betrayed.I was in the middle of convincing myself that it was time to move on from whatever tiny attachment I might have had to him when my roommate came running into the room, breathing heavily.I frowned in confusion.Why was she practically destroying her lungs just to tell me that Kael and Dominic were fighting?What did that have to do with me?Can I please have a break from these people?My brain is already a mess.What more can I lose?It's not my place to interfere in problems involving rich students in this ridiculous academy. Besides, Kael himself warned me to keep my head down and focus on my studies.They would surely figure things out on their own.Petra couldn't even give me a proper reason why I needed to know about the fight, but for some reason
IN BETWEEN LIFE AND DEATH ~MIRA'S POV~Seraphina scoffed, irritation flashing across her face at their response."Can either of you ever do anything right?" she hissed loudly."How could a weakling like this scare anyone away? You had one simple job, and that was to ruin the face she's so proud o
THE UNEXPECTED KISS~~MIRA'S POV~~Out of all three Ravencrest triplet brothers, Kael is the one I hate the most.The first time I truly heard him speak clearly was the other day, when they tried to reject me in front of the students as if we had ever been fated in the first place.He sounded like

A TEMPTING LETTER ••~~Mira's POV~~••I gently blinked my eyes open when I felt the weight of someone sitting beside me on the bed.I kept my head straight, watching the ceiling for some time like someone who is lost.It's my method of allowing sleep to fully clear off from my eyes.I tried shif
