Magnus It took longer than I expected to drive to St. Calliope’s College. All the while, I tried to calm myself so I wouldn’t actually kill Cicada before he shows his usefulness. We came to a stop at the school’s entrance, and I wasn’t quite surprised to see that Iris had kept a special parking spot for me. Truly, the parking lot looked way better than the last time I had seen it. Especially because I had fought Nuel right at this spot, leaving bodies and trails of blood all over the ground for her to clean up.We took the library and headed straight for her underground lab, where I knew she would be without a doubt. There was a long hallway that led to the lab’s entrance, and it had electronic bulbs on each side, lighting the way forward. “I only have one simple rule: don’t break anything. Don't spill blood. And most definitely no shifting during school hours,” Iris said coldly, the second I came in sight. She stood by the door of the entrance to her lab. I could perceive that in

Magnus “Where the hell are you?!” I barked at him, and almost immediately, Iris was disconnected from the call. “Why? Do you think I'm on my way to your little cabin to fetch your princess?” He taunted. I scoffed. I know this game, he wanted to upset me and make me lose focus. My best guess, Ambrose was around my location. I knew keeping Clarissa back at the cabin would come in handy. It might be a hard fightbut she'll make sure he's blind, crippled, and has a huge hole in his chest before he gets into the cabin. “Do you always have to try so hard?” I questioned, but my focus was on the huge machine that looked like it was about to launch a rocket into the air a few miles away from me. “I don't have to try… It's who I am,” he gloated. “As always, Cicada, you try your best to impress me. It's a default setting of who you are, I made you,” I chuckled. “And I know you'll not abandon the mission to go after Earis, because if you take the only thing that gives you leverage over me,

Magnus In one swift motion, I ripped the bottom of my shirt off and tied it around my pinky finger. My bone had dissolved, and the pain was excruciating. Blood gushed from the wound as I struggled to cut the blood flow. There was no time to think of the pain. I had to get the fuck out of here. A sharp pain pierced my chest, right where I had the tattoo of Skylar, and instantly, I knew something was wrong with Earis. I shot to my feet immediately, grabbing the burner phone and turning to Josh, who stood frozen like he had seen a ghost. I grabbed him by the shoulder and slammed him against the wall. “Who are you? What did you make me do?” He stuttered, his body trembling against my grip. My eyes glowed red, and I let out a low growl.“Like I said before, today is your lucky day, Josh,” I smirked, trying to hide the pain and my trembling knees as the wolfbane coursed through my veins and into my heart. “W…what are you?” He stammered, his eyes already glistening with tears. I pulle

Earis What could I say? I was terrified out of my mind. I couldn't see the barrier, but I could see everything around the cabin… The pile of bodies Clarissa had stacked over at the edge to burn, those she had burned… the mess Magnus had made in the woods when he chased me. Since the roof was damaged, I got a clear sight of Aaliyah and Vanya, and I had to strain my eyes to see the last person who was seated in one of the empty rooms. Is that the fucking doctor? What the hell? “How the hell do I get down from here?” I snapped. “It's easy, just think of where you want to go and your body is bound to obey,” Hela responded. I shut my eyes, trying to block out the noise and the sound of my own heart racing inside my chest. With everything happening, and even though Magnus had left me trapped in this cabin, all I wanted was him. Not to save me, but to give me an explanation. Slowly, I thought of being low until the ground, more like I wanted to feel my feet on the ground. And I could f

Earis I took a deep breath long enough to make sure I was no longer dreaming before I opened my eyes. The scent of clean sheets filled my lungs, and I could feel the cold of the AC brushing against my skin. The air was mixed with that maddening smell of him… dark, musk, and strangely impossible to ignore. It wrapped around everything, clinging to the room like it belonged here. I could feel the ridge muscles of his bicep under the soft, feathery pillow and his firm chest behind me. His free hand was carefully tucked under my belly like he also had to include Lanfia in the cuddle, just like it had been every morning for the past two weeks. His breath was heavy, fanning the back of my neck, and his heart thumped slowly. A faint smile tugged at my lips. If love could have a smell, it was definitely this. “Girl, don't you just love this life? Let's remain in his warmth for the rest of today,” Skylar purred. I haven't felt this free and peaceful in forever, and it was scary to get us
