Mystic Academy Stay away from them
KELANI POV"Please shut the curtains," Riley groaned, rolling onto the bed. She pressed her hand to her forehead, her eyes squinting.Just by looking at her, I could tell she had a hangover. I didn't even know when she arrived yesterday; I must have been too exhausted to notice.I was also certain she must have been pretty wasted.This was my first time seeing Riley in this condition, and I felt somewhat relieved. She was normal, after all.I had assumed she wouldn't suffer from such since she was a witch, but now I knew better.Heading toward where the first aid box was kept, I grabbed some aspirin and poured a glass of water, placing it in front of her."How much did you drink last night?" I asked, wrinkling my nose at the alcohol stench."You should take a shower," I added, but she shot me a glare.Riley took the water and aspirin, downing them with a sigh. She ran a hand through her disheveled hair and let out another breath before glancing at her vibrating phone."What now?" she
Mystic Academy Three strongest shall combat
KELANI POV Headmaster Kendrick entered the room, his face more serious than usual. A hush fell over the previously noisy space, and all eyes turned toward him in curiosity. It seemed uncommon for the headmaster to show up with such a solemn demeanor. Despite Mary's passing, I hadn't expected him to gather everyone for a talk like this. His gaze scanned the room, and when his eyes met mine, he offered a brief smile before exhaling audibly. "Hey," a gentle tap on my shoulder made me turn to find Lance sitting beside me. Riley had vacated her seat, and I scanned the room to discover her chatting with a blond. Typical Riley, I thought, not surprised. My focus returned to Lance as he leaned in, prompting a frown from me. "Can we talk after this?" he asked. "Why?" I responded almost instantly, wincing at the sharpness in my voice. I didn't understand why he wanted to talk to me. We hadn't spoken one-on-one before or had any reason to. "I need everyone's attention because what I'm abou
Mystic Academy You forced me to say
KELANI POV"Kelani, wait up!"I stopped, turning to see Lance swaggering towards me.Sighing, I shook my head and was about to start walking again when he rushed ahead, jumping in front of me.I gasped, stepping back at the sudden movement before glaring at him. "Really?""Sorry," he said, smiling and scratching the back of his neck. "I didn't want you to leave without talking to you.""If it's about what you said earlier, Lance, I'm sorry, but I'll have to decline your offer," I muttered."Why?" Lance asked, narrowing his eyes at me."Why not?" I asked him. "I'm not interested in going to a dance. I don't even dance to begin with."I lied. Despite never having been to a major dance before, it didn't mean I couldn't bust a move. I was saying all this to get him to leave me alone, but I doubted he got the gist."Is it because that idiot said so?" Lance asked, jamming his hands into the pockets of his black pants. His eyes remained fixed on me."Vesper?" I asked with a frown, and he nod
Mystic Academy Trying to save you
VESPER POVA groan escaped me as I watched Kelani storm away. The urge to stand and run after her filled me, but I resisted, remaining in the same spot.Call it ego; I didn't know exactly what it was.Besides, I guess I deserved her anger. I shouldn't have said what I did, but it wasn't meant to come out that way."When did you start caring?" Miles asked."Quiet, Miles," I muttered, shoving a hand into my hair.I glanced at the items I had brought for the training inside the backpack – a journal on different supernatural beings' cultures and a handball. Damn, I had even brought a handball despite knowing she wasn't good at it.I had combed through the library, too. I doubted I'd ever spent as much time there as I did these past few days, all for her.Yes, I wanted her to be capable of some basic things. Working on her handball skills could make a significant difference.I didn't want a partner who'd keep tripping when we were on the run because this showcase appeared to be much deeper
Mystic Academy Stay with me
KELANI POV"A fire-breathing monster," I muttered, keeping my eyes fixed on it.From the many images I had seen of this particular monster, I could say it was a Minotaur with its bull-like head and human-like body, yet I had never read that it could breathe out fire.As it approached Vesper and me, I realized we seemed to be the only ones outside. I wondered if anyone else was witnessing the unfolding events.Maybe they were hiding and waiting for us to call for help, yet it was unlikely.Simultaneously, I sensed the familiar prickling sensation of being observed. Taking a deep breath, I dismissed the thought. With danger ahead, the last thing I needed was to dwell on invisible forces watching me.Turning to Vesper, I noticed he was staring at me. "Are you sure you can handle this?" he asked, his expression filled with concern. Concern didn't suit him, especially when directed at me.And it was the first time I'd seen him genuinely concerned about my well-being.Nevertheless, I nodde
Mystic Academy Kelani is out there
LANCE POV On my second lap of the day, I raised my head from the water upon reaching the ladder. Letting out a deep breath, I gripped the ladder and climbed out of the freezing water before snatching the white towel draped over the white chair nearest to the door wrapping it around me. This was my safe haven. I came here most times to have a clear thought whenever swimming training wasn't going on, just like today. The door to the swimming area swung open, revealing Lia's, sauntering towards me confidently. My brows creased as I gazed at her. This space was usually exclusive to swimmers, with occasional exceptions for joint PE classes. Lia, however, seemed to disregard the rule, entering as if she owned the place. Well, she did that to literally all the places around the school even when knowing it was off-limit. "What do you want?" I inquired, using a second towel to pat my wet hair. "Oh, I thought Zain was supposed to be here," she claimed, glancing around with widened eyes.
Mystic Academy All you can do is flirt
KELANI POV I didn't know how long I held onto Vesper. All I knew was that, I had his hands in mine while running along with the gurney as it was wheeled into the infirmary. Also, I remembered getting sent out, but I had been adamant and stayed. Vesper had saved me; the least I could do was stay by him until he woke up, but it didn't look like he would be doing that anytime soon. Staring at him, I pushed back the hair framing his face to the side, letting a small smile formed on my face. Vesper looked peaceful, a little too innocent for his own good. He didn't look like the grumpy Vesper I was used to, and if I didn't know the way he acted, I'd have judged him based on how I was currently seeing him. Also, I wouldn't lie; he looked very beautiful in his sleeping form. Frowning, I shook my head. I shouldn't be thinking of him this way. Vesper was cruel. He was rude and arrogant, yet he had placed my life before his. He had done dangerous things a few minutes ago and allowed himse
Mystic Academy You're so petty
VESPER POVI was in over my head. I fucking knew that, but there was no way I could sit to listen to all that Coach Jensen and Headmaster Kendrick had to say while Kelani was out there with Lance.How important was the news that they could just say it in her presence and wanted her out so Lance could go speak to her?I glared at Coach and Headmaster Kendrick for the longest of time as they kept looking at each other."Will you let me know what is happening, or do I leave the room so you both can talk about it later?" I asked them, standing from the bed."How are you?" Headmaster Jensen asked."I told you I am fine," I replied, letting my legs hit the floor."No, I am internally. Do you feel any burning sensation? You held onto the Infernaut for too long, which can be dangerous.' He said.Infernaut, so it was the name of the monster that had come."How dangerous can it be? You saw it flung me about many times from your hidden locations, and you think anything could be more dangerous th

Mystic Academy yet to redeem myself
KELANI POVOh goodness, what does he want now? I mused, straightening as I saw Vesper coming towards me.I had woken early to come to the ice cream shop in search of my phone before leaving for school. At least, if it were going to be here, I'd be the first person to see it since not many students were here after the event of yesterday.I was here because Riley had put a call through to Zain, and he said he hadn't seen any phone. He even said he didn't notice any with me but promised to help me search.I didn't want to let him go through all that trouble for my phone. Hence, I had come here before he would.I turned away as soon as Vesper reached me. He stayed for a while without saying a word to me, but I could feel his eyes on me."Kelani," he eventually said.I ignored him and continued looking under the seat, which I had been doing since I arrived. The phone wasn't even microscopic and could be seen easily, even from afar.Also, it would really stand out if it was here since the b
Mystic Academy Hello, he was a bully
KELANI POV"What happened, and who's she?" I asked as soon as Zain returned. Vesper had left with the girl immediately. The ambulance came, and the activity that was taking place continued as if nothing had happened.I tried not to think about who the girl was with Vesper, but I couldn't help it. As far as I was concerned, he had no relatives from here.Riley, who was a big mouth herself, hadn't mentioned that Vesper had any relatives. Riley would have said one or two things about the Vesper family. Now, it left me confused."Are you worried that he's seeing someone else?" Zain asked me.I snorted, rolling my eyes. "Why should I be?"Zain narrowed his eyes at me, "Do you love Vesper?""That's not the point. I am just worried about the girl. I haven't seen her from around here before. You know this is the start of the session; what if we are getting attacked again?" I couldn't stop thinking about what had happened to Mary.What if there was an enemy lurking around the school area, targ
Mystic Academy Call me, maybe
KELANI POVI stared at Jake for a long time before shaking my head."You don't have to give me answers right away; I can wait," He said."I can't... You know what? I need to speak with Chase, and I'll give you a response soon," I said."Great," Jake grinned. "I should leave this with you." he handed me the book and began to walk away."Um..." I trailed off, grimacing as I stared at his retreating form. "I guess you're stuck with me." I stared at the book again before stuffing it inside my bag.I walked to the fountain near the huge gate, then back to the gym's entrance.Now that I thought of it, I didn't have anything else to do besides practice, but I had blown that by going to meet Vesper.I thought it was a reasonable thing to do. Now, I believe I was stupid to have thought that.I could return to practice and ignore the scorn looks and snide remarks from Lia, but I was too prideful to do so. I had told her off and admitted I wasn't interested in the practice, so it was best to st
Mystic Academy Help me shift
KELANI POVLia blew the whistle around her neck, signaling the start of practice. We gathered in the newly renovated gymnasium. Gone were the peeling paints I remembered from the last session. Fresh coats of white paint and Mystic's signature navy blue accents now adorned the walls, revitalizing the space. The polished hardwood court shimmered, the school's logo emblazoned at center court. Once a pale blue, the bleachers now boasted a deeper hue, sectioned off with crisp white railings.Despite the renovations, the gym still felt cozy and familiar. It still felt like the first time I was here, where I was whacked in the head."Alright, Fawns! Let's get warmed up," Lia called, her voice echoing off the gym's walls."Thirty minutes," Lia announced.Although I didn't know what I would be doing the whole thirty minutes, I was sure it wasn't warm-up alone.My thoughts wandered back to what happened at the cafeteria. After the announcement was made, Vesper had excused himself. Headmaster Ke
Mystic Academy Perfect Choice
KELANI POVIt was recess, which I was grateful for. The lecture was annoyingly long, and Chase didn't even make it easy. I didn't understand why he was hellbent on trying to make us bring out our wolves.If one had a wolf they could communicate with, it was fine, right? But he had tried to make me switch to Kelly, which I had been unable to.I had gotten my ass whooped three times today, and I was glad to be in the cafeteria to mull over my inability to bring out my wolf rather than do so in the classroom where he could watch me."All I see is back, sexy, well-accentuated backside in that leather pant, and oh, how perfect his legs look," Riley groaned.I thought all that she was saying was from the book she was reading as it was on the table, but from the hushed silence in the room, I didn't think it was.I turned to where students were lined in front of the food table to see Jake. He stood in the room's center, and all eyes were on him. When I said all eyes, I meant all the eyes in t
Mystic Academy You dropped this
KELANI POV A MONTH AFTER "And it's called black magic, black magic, yeah!" I groaned, grasping the pillow and using it to cover my ears, but it was barely doing its work. Riley's voice could pierce through even the hardest stone; sometimes, I wonder how she did it. It wasn't because she was singing while I was trying my best to sleep, it was due to the fact that the song had been on repeat for about three hours now. I wondered if she had just come across Little Mix. Hence, she decided to stream all the musics they had, or maybe she was just doing it to annoy me. "You sound like a broken record, Riley. I am trying to sleep," my voice was muffled by the pillow. "Wake up, Lani! It's a new session, the start of a beautiful morning, and I can see the sun peaking out from the sky. Oh, do you know we are going to know who gets shortlisted today in the battle of the strongest? I can't wait to find out who the alpha of the academy will be!" Well, I wasn't looking forward to it. I had ha
Mystic Academy marked
KELANI POVRiley and I stayed in the position much longer before Zain cleared his throat, breaking us apart.He was standing by the door with his hands tucked inside his pocket."I'm genuinely surprised at your quick recovery," He said, nodding towards Riley. "Now, I presumed help isn't much needed, is it?"Riley shrugged, "I'm a witch, and just like you werewolves heal after an injury, we do too.""Never knew that," It was Zain's turn to shrug.He probably knew but didn't care for much details."Now you do," Riley said, then added, "When you said help, who is coming? The police or staff from the infirmary?" She asked.Now, thinking about it, I hadn't asked him who the 'Helps' exactly were.I doubted it was any of the staff from the infirmary. It was possibly the police he had called. And to be honest, there wasn't much any of them would have done in this situation."Mrs Periwinkle and Coach Jensen," Zain said, "They should be arriving anytime soon.""They responded?!" Riley question.
Mystic Academy You're alive
KELANI POVOh, My Goodness."Somebody, anybody, help me!" I cried again, for the second time, my eyes moving around the room to see no one had made a move."I did this, I did this," I chanted over again, my hands trembling as I held her closer. I hurt Riley. I had hurt the only person who cared about me.But then again, I was only trying to defend myself. I wondered if that counted.Biting my lower lip as it trembled, I sniffled and then blinked back, the tears brewing in my eyes away. But the more I blinked, the more tears that gathered."Kelani," I felt a pull on my shoulder, but I didn't let Riley go. I couldn't let her go.She was bleeding, and by the look of things, if no one came to save her soon, she was going to die."Kelani," I heard Vesper's voice again.I turned to stare at him and saw his brows were creased with worries. Shaking my head, I let out a throaty sob."I need help!" I snapped, swiping at the tears pouring down my cheeks. "Why are you people doing nothing? Riley
Mystic Academy Help
KELANI POV My wolf. Kelly. I had a wolf, just like everyone else. I had a freaking wolf. Excitement unfurled inside of me at the thought. I had thought I was wolfless. A werewolf wouldn't be one without its werewolf identity. I had assumed I was different because I could barely channel any real powers within me. Now, I felt it. With Kelly prowling inside of me, I felt her energy surging inside of me as well. "I'll help you defeat her," Kelly said. "No," I whispered, shaking my head as I approached Riley. She had slammed Lia into a box several times, almost making her go unconscious. But then Lia was as resilient as Riley. They both had strength and great stamina. They could endure a lot of things that many werewolves wouldn't be able to endure. Well, the weaker werewolves, though. Riley tossed her head back and cackled, the air cackling with energy as she did. The wind drifted into the room from nowhere. I couldn't see any windows in sight nor cracks in the wall to indicate
