I stood in front of the gates of the academy and thought that I still have the opportunity to turn back. I will return to the estate and wait for others to win the right to life for me. I wonder if Augusta Reed was ever afraid? Or was she not only unaware of this feeling, but of the word itself? Would she despise me for my cowardice? I squeezed the pocket in which the artifact ring lay and headed to the dean's office.There were not so many people in the courtyard, most likely, many aristocrats had gone home for the weekend.When I reached the dean's office, I knocked decisively. There is no way back. She pushed open the heavy door and entered. The secretary's desk was empty, so I decided to sit on the sofa. With every minute my resolve melted away, and the ring with incredible force pulled the pocket to the ground. The door, over which hung a sign with the dean's name, opened, and a woman stepped out. She went to the secretary's place and only then looked up at me with narrowed eyes.

"Are you sure you want to spend this time with me?" Maybe in a week I will be replaced by another?“You don’t trust me, and you close yourself all the time,” the dark one stated. What did I do to deserve this attitude?I need some time, I want to get to know you better. Please, don't push, - I tried with all my might to delay intimacy with the dark, but also not to let him off the hook.- All right, El. Do you want to know me better? I agree. I promise not to go too far unless you ask me to. But do not push me away, I have not been a boy for a long time, - the dark one spoke with an arrangement. And this is in his understanding - do not push? But I had no choice, now I need it.- Deal.- Will you kiss? Well, to secure the contract? Aiden asked, beaming like a polished badge. I timidly approached the dark one, who was a whole head taller than me, and reached for his lips. He did not move and did not intend to help me in this difficult matter. He just continued to smile like crazy. I ha

After dinner, the dark one helped drag the given textbooks and manuals from the library to my room and left on his own business. Until dinner, I sat over my books, trying not to think about the upcoming test. I chose my specialty for a reason, because archiving involves access to the most extensive library in the kingdom. I had a glimmer of hope that Marner the First and his men had missed something, and that proof of his treachery lay somewhere on the dusty shelves.Aiden was very surprised by my choice of major. It turned out that there are almost no girls at the Faculty of History, they most often choose easier professions. Especially for them, the Faculty of Music and the Faculty of Arts were opened. It is not surprising, because it is not customary to work among the aristocracy, and girls come here for the sake of a profitable marriage. Still, the old man was right.Dinner time was approaching, I put down a very interesting textbook on the history of military affairs and began to

I went straight to the dean's office. Dinner was most likely already over, and in order not to be late, I had to practically run.I stumbled into the waiting room disheveled and with a wildly pounding heart. The secretary, with whom we had a mutual dislike at first sight, writhed a displeased face at the sight of me. Probably, she hoped that I would be late or not come, and I would be immediately expelled.“Lord Bane and Lord Culver are waiting for you,” she emphasized the last words, as if waiting for the dark ones was akin to severe torture, and I am the most terrible person in the kingdom, if I allow myself such. - You can pass.“Thank you,” I said in an unctuous voice and smiled broadly. The secretary was even more skewed.She knocked on the office door and entered immediately. The dean, like last time, was sitting at his huge table; I saw the second man standing by the window for the first time. He turned around at the sound of the door being opened, and looked at me attentively.

The next three weeks flew by like one day. I regularly went to classes and generally behaved like an exemplary student. Anika disappeared somewhere, at least she did not appear in the dining room again. Besides me, there were only two girls studying archives, and there was not a single dark one among the guys. With rare exceptions, they preferred military and political directions. For Aiden and Roland, this was the last year at the academy, they both graduated from the Faculty of International Relations.I spent every breakfast and dinner in the company of dark people, and more and more often I found myself thinking strange thoughts. If we discard all prejudices, then the dark ones were not so bad people, or rather, they were too ordinary for those whom they used to hate and fear all their lives.Aiden continued to gently tame me, light kisses were replaced by passionate caresses, in which it was so easy to lose oneself. He was a very attentive gentleman, several times this week I fou

At least half of the members of the resistance known to me are gathered in Amalia's house today. Most of all, I did not expect to see Venira, she was standing in the corridor and arguing lively about something with the redhead. Lester looked at her like a cat at sour cream, and seemed not to listen to her at all. He saw me first and nodded in greeting. Noticing my appearance, Venira left her interlocutor and stepped forward.“We are just waiting for you,” she reproached me."I'm glad to see you too." She smiled. I have to admit that I really missed my dark friends.“I heard you had to put on an artifact…are you okay?” Venira suddenly asked.- It's okay. Thanks for asking.“Don't think that I'm worried about you, I just want to know how everything went in great detail."Of course," she didn't believe her at all. Three years ago, I would have been offended by such words, but now I had time to get to know her too well. She was worried about me, but was afraid to show it. Lane and her fam

Monday morning was not easy for me. I haven't figured out how to proceed yet, so I decided not to go to breakfast, so as not to accidentally run into the dark ones.In the history of military affairs, I did not learn anything new and useful. To some extent, it was even funny to listen to the laudatory odes to Marner the First and his military strategy.In the next lectures, thoughts about food were interrupted by thoughts about Aiden. Did he carry out his threat? I could not believe that he would so easily abandon our relationship because of one quarrel. Just thinking that he was flirting with other girls at this party made me shake. For the first time in my life, I felt jealous, and I did not like this feeling at all. I knew that I could not forgive the betrayal.I decided not to skip lunch, otherwise I risked disrupting the practical exercises in the archive with the howl of my stomach. The dining room was quite busy, and having received my lunch, I glanced around the tables to find

Inspired by happiness, I almost did not notice how quickly the time flew by. The day of the ball was inexorably approaching. Lady Holm undertook to sew my dress, so I had to spend several days off at her mansion.Her cold indifference to my fate did not at all contribute to my sincerity and honesty, therefore, when she asked questions about our relationship with the dark, I lied from the bottom of my heart. During the time spent with her, I realized one simple truth: Lady Amalia Holm hated the dark ones with all her heart. And this thought gave rise to many doubts and questions.The night Aiden confessed his love to me, I didn't believe him at all. It seemed to me that words uttered in a fit of passion should not be taken to heart. But very soon doubts crept into my head. Aiden seemed to have been replaced, during the day he looked at me with special tenderness, and at night he brought down all his passion. I felt needed, and deep down I understood that my love was starting to grow in

Sisters Of Darkness Epilogue
Head Linth gave me a few days to recover a little. When I woke up, it seemed to me that apart from my head, nothing hurts, only weakness torments me. But as it turned out later, Lane's father drugged me with pain-relieving potions, and as soon as their action was over, I tasted the beauty of broken ribs.On the second day, Lane brought a small mirror, and at first I didn't even recognize myself. Her hair was visibly darker, and now blended perfectly with the dark circles under her eyes. The face was sharpened, and in general my appearance left much to be desired.When I blushed and asked Lane who undressed me, she smiled and assured me that she did it, and not her father, as I feared. Oddly enough, but my suit was almost not damaged, I don’t know where Lane’s mother got the material for it, but I was very grateful to her. My friend folded my jewelry separately. The earrings, the mirage and the shadow were in a small canvas bag, but I never found the ring from the set Aiden had given m

The weather was fine outside. Several small birds flew almost above the ground. I lifted my head, exposing my face to the sun's rays and soaking up the happiness.- Mom, why do birds fly so low? I asked the woman who carefully held my hand. She was the most beautiful and always smelled very nice. I hope when I grow up I will be like her.“It will probably rain,” she replied.- Rain? But there isn't a cloud in the sky! I drawled indignantly.Mom was silent and the whole environment suddenly seemed unreal to me. Throwing my head up, I saw how heavy blue clouds were covering the sky right before my eyes. The street darkened sharply. I clung to my mother and trembled with fear.“You misbehaved, Mira,” she said sternly. I looked at her in surprise and immediately recoiled, trying to free my hand from her grip. Darkness swirled around her, creeping into her nostrils, her eyes, and her open mouth. I screamed and struggled even harder, but she held me in a death grip.“Mommy, please, you’re s

There was no one at the right door. I stood around the corner for a full minute, but the guards never showed up. A sense of the wrongness of what was happening made me doubt. The shadow was completely exhausted and now hung on my chest like a useless weight.I felt the presence of an alien darkness nearby, a pleasant, feminine darkness, which, unlike male power, did not make me feel like a sticky web. She rounded the corner and rushed to the door, which was heavy but unlocked. Excellent! You don't have to open the lock. Behind the door was found a narrow staircase going deep into the dungeon.Counting the steps, she hurried down and, stepping on a flat surface, froze, finding on the ground someone's lifeless body.“It’s been a long time, my friend,” Venira whispered, standing around the corner to the right.- It happened. He is dead? I asked flatly.- Not even a tantrum? The dark one smiled. I looked at her indifferently, and she practically jumped away from me. — Great Primordial! No

Aiden Eyre, being the heir of the founding family, realized quite early the full responsibility that had fallen on him. He tried his best to live up to his high name and father. However, for some reason, the latter increasingly took on assignments not Aiden, but his younger brother. This injustice tormented his soul and every day alienated the brothers further and further from each other. In addition, they already did not have a special kindred love. Would you be able to love the person who drove your mother crazy and almost went to hell? Aiden couldn't either. At the age of three, he did not yet realize that blaming Reiner for this was too stupid. And when the eldest of the brothers saw the light and realized that the world was not black and white, the youngest did not care deeply about his feelings. He became a catcher. An insensitive log depicting a person.A cold, strict father, an insensitive brother and an unconscious mother - that's all who surrounded him from childhood. But de

The dark ones traveled to the desired tavern on the outskirts of the city for several hours, winding through the streets and changing the carriage several times. And only when Rick gave the go-ahead to follow to the place, Venira breathed a sigh of relief.Are we sure we're not being followed? she asked.“Right now,” Rick replied. She would not have dared to doubt his words, yet he was one of the best specialists in the order.“I will check everything and only then will I give you permission to enter.“I'm afraid whoever sent the note has already decided we won't come.- There was no time indicated, so he will wait as long as necessary. Or it's a trap.“Okay, you know better,” the dark one answered, and Rick was very surprised at her complaisance.The tavern, if that was the name of the diner, bore little resemblance to any she had seen before. The smell here was excellent, it seemed that even if the whole place was burned down, it would not disappear from this earth for years. She bu

Roland Reid's office was different from the others. Or rather, he differed precisely in order. So frightening. Perfectly fitted racks, between which even a speck could not fall, papers on the desktop are folded one to one ... the folders behind the glass stand perfectly even and sorted by color. Veneera shrugged her shoulders involuntarily and turned her gaze to the Steward of the Western Lands.- What do you say? - he asked.What could she say? On this conversation, he pulled her right out of the next congress of the dark ones. The dress embroidered with stones to the very throat made it difficult to breathe normally and move the neck, the shoes rubbed, and the head hurt from the high hairstyle. All this was tolerable compared to the numerous undressing looks of dark men and contemptuous appraisal from women. But today there was also something pleasant, forbidden, which excited the blood and made the whole evening bestow smiles on gentlemen ... That's why she thought about him again?

The sun barely touched the horizon, and the boundless sky, slightly covered with clouds, blazed red.Reiner stood at the window and watched with bated breath as Mira fooled around with her nephew in the yard. She tossed Chubby Race up, and the air shook with children's laughter and squeals. The dark one put the baby on the ground and gave a tear. Race, as if glued, ran after his aunt, accompanying this matter with unimaginable sounds.Venira was sitting nearby on a bench with a book and did not take any part in this strange game. That's someone who is definitely not interested in children. Reiner took a deep breath. Until recently, it seemed to him that his wife did not think about it either. But then Lane came to the shelter with her family, and now Mira spent almost all her free time with the little one.Hunters don't have families. This simple truth seemed absurd to him for the last couple of years. Why not? Since his feelings woke up, and Mira finally reciprocated, the ban on star

Kyle Kears-Eyre carefully studied the reports handed to him and came to disappointing conclusions. Most likely, the head of the Order of Darkness himself came to the same conclusions and now wanted to hear his opinion. The fact that Aiden Air himself was listening to him always puzzled Kyle. It was whispered behind his back that this favor was the fruit of their close family connection, and the uncle was just trying to promote his nephew in the service. Only Kyle himself, and even more so the head of the order, knew that they were not relatives at all. Then why does the high-born dark listen to him ... flawed ...- What do you say? his uncle asked, interrupting Kyle's gloomy thoughts of his own worthlessness.- Nothing good. The fact that the inhabitants of the north saw a group of mercenaries could be attributed to anything. But emissions of darkness? Something is happening. I understand that the south is also restless. Obviously, they want to distract us from something important and

Anika Way has long since come to terms with the fact that with the advent of one orphanage upstart in her life, everything went topsy-turvy. A recognized beauty, a good student, an advantageous match for any dark ... for some time now it did not matter. Twice thrown at the altar girl - that's what really excited the minds of everyone around.It is difficult to describe the feelings that have twisted her soul for years, especially after regular dinner parties in her father's house. Previously, it always seemed that her parents love her for who she is, her friends respect and even slightly fear the higher dark one, and the whole world lies at her feet. She did not know the troubles, except perhaps the darkness that periodically breaks out of control. But this problem was also solved, it was only necessary to get married and give birth to a child. That's what the doctors said. The ideal family was supposed to be the crown of her ideal life.Aiden Air was her first love. She herself did n
