Chapter: Chapter 8: EveMy battered and bruised body was sore when Kasey woke me the next morning. The cuts from the rocks and branches were still raw, and her eyes pleaded forgiveness as I got dressed, feeling the stiffness stick to my bones.“I’m sorry. I should have warned you.”“Yeah, probably.” I grimaced at the sight of a black and blue welt on my thigh and shrugged. “I guess it doesn’t matter, though. It wouldn’t have changed anything.”“I had no idea they were already set on you,” she said. “The look in Keane’s eyes last night—it was scary. It was like you were his plaything or something.”I nodded, unsure of how she wanted me to respond to this. That’s exactly what it had been, a game of cat and mouse, all the way down to being batted around like a toy before an inevitable death.“Did they hurt you?” Kasey asked meekly, and I hesitated. Had they hurt me? Not as much as the woods had.“They forced me to drink that blood wine. It was horrible.”“That’s how they claim you,” she said softly. “I-I’m sorr

Chapter: Chapter 7: Keane“Do you want it?” Teague whispered, his fingers lifting Eve’s chin to look at him. “Do you want to suck my cock, sweet girl?”Eve said nothing to this, only continued to stare boldly at him, her expression never wavering. Damn, this girl was a firecracker. Keane had force-fed her our blood in the wine bottle, but she’d spat most of it out into his face the first opportunity she had. Now, she was on her feet, trapped between Keane and Teague, but she hadn’t even come close to cracking.Yet.“I’d rather choke on bile,” she said finally. The response was so unexpected that I laughed out loud, pulling an irritated glance from Teague as he dropped Eve’s chin and shook his head.“You have a smart mouth,” he said to Eve with a wink. “Maybe your brain should catch up.”“Fuck you.”“Don’t tempt me with a good time.”Eve recoiled as Teague reached out for her again, trapped in place by Keane. As I watched her, an overwhelming sensation of want and desire crawled up my throat. I wanted to tangle

Chapter: Chapter 5: Eve“A bonfire?” I repeated. “You guys can do that here?” “No,” said Kacey with a grin. “But we do anyway. There’s a private spot just in the woods. If we leave after the count, we can sneak out. I just heard the announcement in the cafeteria.” “Who will be there?” “Whoever wants to be.” “The Rogues?” “Probably. They’re the ones who throw it.” A slither of apprehension crawled up my spine, and I sighed. A bonfire sounded like a blast, but crossing Keane again didn’t sound like much of a good time. The guy terrified me in the best of ways, but he seemed dangerous. Unhinged. I didn’t plan on being there long enough to get involved with that drama in any form. “It’ll be okay,” Kasey said, sensing my hesitation. “If you don’t come, they might be pissed.” “Why?” “They see it as a sign of disrespect,” she explained. “The party happens when a new intake comes in. If the intake refuses, shit might go down.” “Sounds like a great time,” I muttered, feeling chilled suddenly. “Are they going

Chapter: Chapter 4: Teague“Jesus, man.” I sat up abruptly in my chair as Keane burst through the door. He had that manic look in his eyes, the one he often had when he’d pinned his attention on something shiny and new. It was his schizophrenia kicking into high gear. He was fixating.“I met the new intake,” he said, crossing the room to light a joint. He took a huge hit and offered it to me. I took it, more interested in his story as it burned between my fingers.“Do tell,” I said, kicking back in the chair. “Consider me intrigued.”Keane spun on me then, anger lighting a fire in his eyes, and I automatically leaned back a bit to stay out of his reach.“She’s mine first,” he growled, clenching and unclenching his fists like he was ready to hit something. Probably me. “I don’t want you or Beau trying anything, you understand?”“That’s not fair,” I snarled. “The rules are we share. That’s it. What’s yours is ours, brother.”Before Keane could make a rebuttal, the door opened again, and Beau stepped in, closing i

Chapter: Chapter 3: EveA shuddering chill climbed up my spine as I was pulled, still cuffed, up the wooded pathway from the dock. We were here, on the island, and it was just as bitterly cold and depressing as I had expected. Even the looming academy itself looked more like an insane asylum than it did a private school. Faded red brick made up the building, and long, twisting ivy snaked up and down the walls. It looked like it hadn’t been updated in years, and it reminded me of when Mother told me the school was first opened in 1915 for people just like me.“Welcome to your new home, kiddo,” the guard who had a hold of me said.I rolled my eyes, resisting the urge to correct him. I didn’t belong here, and everyone knew it. I wouldn’t be stuck here long.I stayed silent to avoid trouble and allowed the guard to lead me up the gardened path toward the academy. A few people were outside, men and women around my age, and everyone stopped to stare at the new intake. Some staff members were outside, too—professor

Chapter: FaithThe walls are closing in on me.I pace the length of my childhood bedroom, running my fingers along the faded pink wallpaper. My heartbeat throbs in my ears, nearly drowning out the muffled shouts from downstairs. I press my forehead against the cool glass of the window, peering out at the quiet street below. A gentle breeze ruffles the leaves of the big oak tree in our front yard, its branches stretching toward the open sky. How I wish I could escape out that window, climb down the tree, and run until my legs give out. But the window is locked shut. Just like me.I sink down onto the edge of the bed, the old springs creaking beneath me. I clutch my old, worn teddy bear on my lap, taking comfort in its familiar softness. Its black button eyes stare back at me, void of judgment or condemnation. If only my parents could be so kind. I try to remind myself that this is ridiculous; I'm more than an adult, and Sadie can't just keep me locked in my bedroom for the rest of my life. Yet, here

Chapter: MarkI can't shake the feeling that something isn't right. Faith's departure in the middle of the semester doesn't make any sense, and I can't help but think that she needs someone to find her. She's like a fragile porcelain doll—beautiful on the outside but so easily cracked. And despite her tough exterior, I know that she's desperate for someone to be her knight.The crunching sound of leaves beneath my feet echoes in the empty campus, and it's all I can do not to sprint toward her dorm. There's an urgency bubbling beneath the surface, but I force myself to maintain a steady pace. I have to be strong for Faith—that's what she needs right now. But my thoughts betray me. What if I'm too late? What if she's already gone? I can't help but remember my mom, and how I failed to protect her. The fear of losing someone else I care about grips my chest like a vise, making it difficult to breathe."Keep moving," I mutter under my breath. "You're almost there."As I approach Faith's dormitory, the r

Chapter: DannyXander and his crew are already waiting for us in the location he texted me, their smug faces making my blood boil. They seem to be anticipating our arrival, eager to see us falter and fail in our attempt to save Theo. Fuck them."Look who finally showed up," Xander sneers, his arms crossed over his chest. His crew follows suit, leering at us as if we're nothing but a joke. My fists clench painfully at my side and my jaw aches from the tension."Let Theo go, Xander. This isn't about him; it's about the competition," I say, trying to maintain some semblance of control over my emotions. I don't see Theo, and that concerns me. What have they done to him?"Ah, yes, the competition," Xander muses. "You know, it's funny how you think you stand a chance against us." A sinister grin spreads across his face. "But sure, go ahead and try to save your precious friend.""Don't fuck with us, dude." Mark steps up beside me. I can feel the anger radiating from his pores. The atmosphere is electric as

Chapter: Chapter 14: FaithI'm rattled long after Theo has stormed out, but Danny and Mark seem unperturbed by his abrupt departure. Mark, specifically, looks smug, and I wonder if fucking him in the bathroom had been a bad idea."Faith, are you okay?" Danny asks, pulling my attention back to them. The auditorium looks nice finally, but my heart aches for Theo. Had he seen us? Heard us? With his departure, either one seemed possible."I'm fine." I take a seat on the stage next to Mark, careful not to bump my injured ankle. He scoots closer to me, and a smoldering fire ignites within me. I try to focus on anything else, but Mark's proximity makes it impossible to concentrate. The heat emanating from him warms my body from head to toe, and I can feel the energy between us growing stronger by the second.I steal a glance at Danny, taking in the sharp lines of his jaw and the intensity in his eyes. He's always been just as attractive, but tonight something is different. Maybe it's the dim lighting, or maybe it's th

Chapter: Chapter 13: TheoI bolt angrily from the auditorium and stride across the campus, my steps fueled by a blend of frustration and determination. I need to clear my head to escape the suffocating weight of these emotions. As I walk, each footfall resonates like a drumbeat, echoing the pounding in my chest. The air is thick with tension, and I find myself running, my legs carrying me faster as if I can outrun my feelings. All I can think about is Faith; how good she must taste, how fucking amazing she probably feels. I want to take her, to ravage her, and show her how I can please her. But what's going on with her and Mark? And it's not just Mark, it's Danny, too. Does she know that they both want her? Does she know that she's become the rare new centerpiece of our little club?Faith is free to make her own choices, I remind myself, clenching my jaw to keep my emotions in check. I don't have any claim on her, not really. We're just friends, acquaintances at best. But the sight of her with someone else—a g

Chapter: Chapter 12: FaithI take a deep breath as I enter the vandalized auditorium, ready to lend a hand in cleaning up the mess left behind. The sight that greets me is both distracting and enticing. The guys are all here, wearing sweatpants and no shirts, their bodies glistening with sweat as they work diligently to repair the damage. I try to focus on the task at hand, but my mind betrays me, conjuring memories of my intimate moments with Danny and the kiss with Mark."This is worse than I thought it would be," I say, and all three guys look up as if surprised to see me there. Without saying a word, I grab a broom and start sweeping up the broken glass, trying to push aside the thoughts of our sexy times together. It's not easy, though, as the memories flood my mind, each one more vivid than the last. Their touch, their lips, the way Mark and Danny made me feel... I can't help but smile to myself, my cheeks flushing with a mixture of embarrassment and excitement."Faith, are you okay?" Danny's voice breaks
