ARRIVING IN MY dorm later in the evening, I felt refreshed, more alive than what I left this room feeling like just a few hours back.I was frankly glad for the little get-away with Egor and I wanted to kiss him for that. I pushed the door open to find my two roommates each sitting on her bed, as soon as I emerged; they jumped up and flooded around me.“Whoa, guys. What the hell?” I asked putting my hands in the air looking at their excited faces,“When were you going to tell us that you hooked up with the Campus Prince?” Katrina called out yanking my hand and walking to my bed, and that's when I realized it was completely naked. I pointed my finger at it, bedazzled at the look and they squealed behind me.“Who did this?” I turned around to find them clapping their hands frenziedly, Klara literally jumping up and down from delight,“Who else except for Campus Prince?"“How do youRelated chapters

GALINA POVDAYS BLURRED INTO WEEKS, and for that duration, I was like a living corpse. In all my life, I have never felt so unnerved, so shaken and I didn’t who or what I was anymore.The VC had made it clear that I was something worth paying attention to, and that she and Bella had their scouts watching my every step. Jupitor who magically transformed into a giant dog said just the same thing but went in by saying that I, a normal human being who has been leading a pretty much mundane, low boring life, was somehow a divine, superior being that was going to bring redemption to the world. Like, WHAT THE HECK?I just… I couldn’t handle it!I had been ready to uncover all the hidden lies about this place but this, I couldn’t take it all in. And the fact that it seemed like everything was revolving around me just made everything worst. If the two divisions were actually a thing, why couldn't they exist as they did for more centuries without dragging me into all of the bedlam
Grisha Prologue
5 YEARS B.MLekovoski POVDUSK WAS CREEPING over the small village on the outskirts of the big city, Varagrafena. I took hurried steps to my mother's alcove and found her standing over the small deck overlooking the tree of life which was just a few feet from where she stood! The tree has been my mother's fortification for years and it continued to give her the power she needed.My mother, Cersei Morozova was the renowned witch; the greatest of them all. she has cured the sick, protected the weak, and blessed the cursed. she was by far the only person I looked up to."Come here child!" she intoned in her usual calm voice. I took hurried steps and stood by her side, then joined in on the staring contest."It's time!""Mom, you don't have to do this! How am I going to survive without you?" I desperately begged and tried to convince her not to continue with her plan,"It has to be done, child! I see a great future awaiting you. You have to emb
Grisha Chapter 1
GALINA POVI found myself yet in another land of the unknown! Unlike all places I have seen in my visions, this one gave me unforgiving chills. The gothic brown interior brought into being, a classic view of a huge, ancient, frigid, and dark hall, with candles flickering to give a bit of light! The light wasn't much, so it left room for everything that lurked in the shadows to go all out and reign freely!Some murmurs and whispers could be heard from the shadows; I turned around to find nothing but me, and my own shadow that was amplified and zoomed by the candles. Another violent shiver tore through me causing my toes to curl, and at that very moment, I realized I had no shoes on! I braced my ground and tried to take a step forward! I don't know why but I felt very unsettled and very disturbed about the vision I was having. It didn't feel

JUPITER POVSITTING ON THE BED IN my unshared dorm, I glanced at the clock mounted to the wall just right across the room and it signaled it was a little after 9 in the morning! I took a minute to admire the cream walls which were painted like a clean, neat canvas, displaying the secrets and the tales of this world, from my forefathers and ancestors before them.The stone sculptures around the room and the drawings etched on the walls created a classic illusion of being succumbed into a different world, a paranormal universe where nothing but peace and stability reigned. The red dotted paint marring the cream white wall representing blood, the angry werewolves in their natural glory, and terrifying dragons stood proud on the wall, making one just want to dwell in this serene surrounding.The only sad part was that; it was all in the past! It had been years since the secret divisions were formed and since the other one came to power. It has been centuries since we went

GALINA POVSTANDING ON THE EDGE of a buzzing railway station, I looked down onto the scene unfolding in front of my eyes; millions and thousands of different people from all around the world, getting off their modes of transport. Some came to the City of Gold by buses, some by private cars, some by planes while some took trains like me. We may have been different in all ways; but we were the same in one thing; which was our age!Every year, millions of children who had received the admission letter from Varagrafena University would swarm up here. The entry requirements were specific and I was at luck when I applied. The university took only 18-year-olds and I was about to turn 18 in a few weeks. The admission letter was a key to the Entrance Exam, which determined whether you were good enough to enroll in the big school. Growing up, I never had the mea

GALINA POVTHE NIGHT PASSED HASTILY in a blur, getting introductions from roommates, and dinner in a kickass giant hall, and introduction to school seniors and all.After everything, we retrieved back to our dorms for the night! Before dozing off, I sent a quick text to my mom telling her that I had arrived at the school and I was loving every minute of it. After conversing with her for a few minutes, I powered my phone off, pulled the blankets over my head, and within a split second, I was out!Two floor-length walls with giant pillars on the sides, the floor tiled with what looked like the ancient art of the Maldivian times. Once again, I was lost in one of my dreams. I glanced around to take in my surroundings when suddenly, the whole room darkened as if lights were put out. A gasp tore through me
Grisha Chapter 5
Chapter 5GALINAAfter a very restless night, I woke up early since sleep decided to part ways with me temporarily! Last night after my long stroll, Katrina had laid to us that today was the big day! The day of the Entrance Exam!The idea of what that might potentially mean and the endless questions regarding my vision made it all impossible for me to sleep a wink. I tossed and turned all night trying to make out what might go down during the testing and how that may affect me. Or anyone! There were rumors. Like always! Very unsettling rumors about the renowned Testing! But I didn’t want to believe the negative words of others. Because that's just what they were! Rumors and nothing more.From all I know, it could be just a dang-ass difficult test with mind-wrecking questions that would make you doubt whether you have actually been to school or not. And I believed that it couldn't be worse than that. That's what the exam meant right?The day before, I s

GALINA POVTHE THOUGHT OF WHAT CAME in round two was rather nerve-racking! Especially after witnessing how Round 1 went down. The second door was pushed open and after we all piled in inside, it was shut close behind us.Unlike the first round, this room had a giant pond in the middle. Murmurs arose from a confusion of what the pond symbolized! Were we going to be drowned this time? Were we going to drink the water from the pond?“Dear students! Welcome to the second round of the Entrance Exam. And congratulations on making it through the first! On this round, you are going to walk through the pond, from one end; to the other. To those who will make it, see you in the next round. If you won’t; we’ll meet again next time. Best of lucks!” The voice boomed around the room from the intercom that was installed in the farthest corner of the room like a CCTV camera. But it was loud for everyone to hear it well.The students discussed amongs

JUPITOR POVMy lycan, Darlion, snarled at the front of my head as he added more healing power into my body. In this place, I was at my safest!The stunt they pulled at the sports fest knocked me out cold. Had it not been for Kirigan, who popped out of thin air, Darlion would have been yesterday’s history.“Guys, they found her.” A sudden loud, shriek called out and I groaned from the stone bed I was currently recuperating on. Not that I needed any more recuperation because I felt okay by now! The energy from this little heaven healed me to greater extents.“What?” Sudden deep voices called out as the other guys emerged from their corners and gathered around the stone deck in the middle of the room.“Who?” I asked jumping from the bed but Eriva turned and rushed to me.“You should sit back and rest.” She guided me to the bed but I took her hand and walked to the small circle with her.“I am fine, sweet cheeks. I can live.” I teased her and she walked to the

GALINA POV“And they still do!”Her statement peeled my eyes off the portraits and landed on her poised self. I didn’t know whether she was joking since she always had a serious face on but could still send one down with a hard guffaw, but something about the way she said it told me she was far from joking!“The vampires and werewolves exist?” I said through a nervous chuckle that just came out of nowhere. I mean all of these just didn’t add up. I always loved vampires because their pale skins were just too hot to handle, and the werewolves and their possessiveness. But the thought of them being real, in this world, that wasn't what I vouched for!“Werefoxes, dragons, mermaids and merfolk, witches and warlocks, all of the legends.” She stated clamping her hands on her front.“But how?” I inquired after a good minute of an insane mind-reeling.“Well, let’s just say they don&rsq
Grisha Chapter 15
GALINA POVTHE NEXT FEW days blew by in a blur of exhaustion and confusion. Like always, the occurrence of the sports fest was never talked off. Just like everything that had gone with the wind, nobody talked of those who had seizure episodes during the fest, and what the siren had been of. Because I tell you, that siren was no ordinary. And no one literally cared about the collateral damage it caused and those who got hurt.It was as if nothing happened, and everything was all merry, up and about!On a serious note, I didn’t know whether I should be awed by the level of “mind your own damn business” these people had or freak out because people disappeared day in and day out and nobody seemed to give a shit or two about it. And that was totally disquieting.I also stopped being the talk of the town, my days slowly sunk back into the routined pattern where I got up with a start, went to school, then to the library, and just buried my
Grisha Chapter 14
GALINA POVTHE WALK back to the dormitories was filled with nothing but a blur. I didn’t feel myself or anything about me. I was just a zombie that was putting a foot in front of the other and moving forward with no clear sense of direction. When I walked by, I heard small murmurs and saw people throwing dirty glances my way and was totally unfazed by them!I tried to think of why and how that was the case but failed miserably. All I have ever wanted was to be a laid-back student, who is focused on getting her degree and nothing else. I didn’t plan to be caught up in whatever crap Belladonna and her squad did behind the curtains. I didn’t want to be part of it in all ways. But here I was, feeling chills running down my spine at the sense of being watched. I never really thought they’d send someone to watch over me, but they did.I felt heavy like my heart was sinking deeper and deeper into the abyss.The sound of running footsteps ra

GALINA POVRIGHT IN THE midst of confusion dilemma and sheer perplexity, the men who had me in a firm grip went in by befogging my head with a black bag, depriving my eyes of a sense of sight. The black bag sunk on my head and heavily slump over my shoulders, pushing me down. I couldn’t scream, or say anything. I just let them carry me in their big arms and walked with me for however long they did.My ears tried to pick up all the sounds, my nose flared to carry out any lingering scent, but the bag totally engulfed me whole, and it was so heady on all of my senses!My heart was thrumming painfully in my chest, my whole body aching from being deprived of sensation. I was so lightheaded and it felt like I was going to pass out anytime soon if that went on. After millennia of walking, I was pushed down into a seat before the black hood around my head was abruptly yanked from me.I blinked a few times trying to adjust to the light in…We were inside a room, and in h
Grisha Chapter 12
JUPITER POVKeeping tabs on Grisha was as fun as it got. I still couldn’t believe that the little naïve girl with big-ass framed reading glasses was the golden phoenix who was going to bring us salvation and save the world from the hands of Anuka. It was still a very foreign concept even though I wanted to make deal with it. From the scrolls, Grisha would be strong, domineering, unstoppable. And the little girl who was not only 18 but also man-blood was really far from what was written in the scrolls! Well, except for her insanely dominating aura even though she was just meek, and pretty much killable!And now, trailing her and watching what she did every day was what I lived for. Although I was very much against it at first, because I actually didn’t understand why they wanted me to the job, I mean anyone can do it. So it just didn’t make sense for them to point me out and tell me that I should do it. But now I didn’t regret any of that. Gri

Chapter 11GALINA POVTHE FOLLOWING DAY, we had classes in the morning since the fest began at noon. Only those who were going to participate in the fest were off the hook. Egor was a participant also which meant I had to spend the rest of the classes alone. I didn’t mind though, at all. It was just the fact that I had gotten too used to having him around that it felt kind of strange to be by myself in the class.We had a historical ethics class and things were rather fascinating this time. Everyone knew my passion for history and how much I loved it. There was just something that burned inside of me whenever I listened or read a history book. Having to know the events of the past all perfected and detailed, with words played like a mosaic to give you a clear vivid picture of what had transpired; that was the definition of life. Bliss!The history teacher himself was one of my favorites because of how well and expertly he delivered his course. He made you
