Aurora’s POV:

There’s something about the air today. It’s too still, too expectant. Like the sky itself is waiting for something to go wrong.

After the announcement, the entire school practically combusts with excitement. There are whispers in every hallway, speculation about the itinerary, what cities we’ll visit, and who’s rooming with who. It’s all anyone can talk about.

I try to care. I try to smile, nod, laugh at Cali’s jokes, but something inside me is still trembling from the blackout. From the spike. From Arc.

Jon, however, is practically glowing.

"You don’t understand," he says as we sit beneath a tree in the courtyard, late afternoon sun draping over us like a soft blanket. "I haven’t seen my mum in two months. Two bloody months."

His accent thickens when he talks about home, and it makes something soft ache in my chest.

"You’re really from there?" I ask, chewing on the straw of my smoothie. "Not just here to trick us all with your mysterious exchange student vibe

  • THE WEREWOLF AND VAMPIRE'S MATE   Chapter 17

    AURORA'S POV: The bus is already in sight when Jon and I finally round the corner, out of breath, our shoes slapping against the pavement like war drums. The early morning air is cold, biting at our cheeks, but adrenaline keeps us warm.Believe me, I want my bed so bad. "We’re so late," I pant, clutching my duffel tighter. Jon chuckles, his hand brushing against mine for a second longer than necessary. "Not my fault you turned off your alarm in your sleep." "You literally sleep like the dead. I had to throw a pillow at your head!" We skid to a stop as we reach the cluster of students gathered near the bus. Mr. Granger, one of our chaperones, gives us a narrowed glare but doesn’t say anything. We made it...barely. But still. A win is a win. As we board the bus, Jon flashes me a crooked smile. "Well, we’re officially on our way to Australia." My stomach tightens. The idea of being away from everything familiar makes my nerves dance. I should be used to this

  • THE WEREWOLF AND VAMPIRE'S MATE   Chapter 18

    ARC’S POV: The second we step into the room, I already know it’s going to be a goddamn disaster. It smells like pinewood and overpriced cologne. Two twin beds sit across from each other with a narrow aisle between them. One window. One bathroom. Zero exits from the fact that I’m stuck with him. Although, on the plus side, it's a very spacious room. If I'm careful enough, I can avoid him totally. I will stay on my side and he will stay on his. Hopefully. Jon throws his bag onto one of the beds and turns to look at me like he’s been waiting to do this all day. "Of all the people I could’ve ended up with," he mutters, jaw tight. "Why the hell did it have to be you?" I close the door behind me and toss my duffel onto the floor. "Trust me, mutt, I’m not thrilled about it either."His nostrils flare. "Don’t call me that." "Then don’t act like one," I shoot back, stepping past him. Our shoulders bump. The tension is sharp, electric, thickening the air between us.Jo

    THIRD PERSON POV: Arc bursts into the bathroom, eyes darting to the crumpled figure on the floor- Aurora. His breath catches. For a second, everything stills.Then he starts moving. "Aurora," he calls sharply, his voice a gravelled mix of panic and urgency. He rushes to her side, scooping her into his arms with more gentleness than he thought himself capable of. Her skin is clammy, her lashes trembling slightly against her pale cheeks. She’s still breathing but faintly. Jon barrels into the room behind him. "What the hell happened?" "She fainted." Arc’s voice is tight. "I just came in and saw Cali banging on the door. She was having a panic attack. By the time I opened the door, she was already unconscious." Jon’s eyes narrow as he follows Arc out of the room. They head straight for Arc and Jon’s room down the hall. Jon throws the door open and Arc sets Aurora gently down on the first bed he sees. Together, they work in silence at first. Jon dampens a cloth

  • THE WEREWOLF AND VAMPIRE'S MATE   Chapter 20

    AURORA'S POV: Arc's eyes narrow immediately, jaw clenching as he gestures to the two of them on the bed. "What’s going on? Where are you taking her?" Jon stiffens. "Relax. I’m just taking her to my mum’s place. For a meal. That’s all." Arc’s eyes flick to Aurora, then back to Jon. "You think dragging her all over town after last night is a good idea?" "It is not 'all over town', it is my house. She will basically just be sitting down and eating a meal. Quit the dramatics." Oh shit. I need to stop this before things escalate. I quickly interject, stretching her arms and flashing a sheepish grin. "Okay, tension police. I’m craving apple pie, and I’m starving. Like… genuinely could eat a dragon." Arc crosses his arms. "She shouldn’t be moving around so much, especially not with you. I don’t trust you to take care of her."Jon's face darkens immediately. This keeps getting worse. Jon’s voice sharpens. "Excuse me? Just because you were able to help her just once

  • THE WEREWOLF AND VAMPIRE'S MATE   Chapter 21

    AURORA'S POV: I finished taking my bath a while ago in my room and left Cali there. I wanted to ask her to come along but I remembered that not only is it not my place to invite her to someone else's home, something 'weird' might happen and I don't want her to be dragged into this whole situation. She was even talking about going to hang out with one of the guys she met on the plane yesterday. Apparently, they wanted to hook up. Typical Cali. I did remind her not to get pregnant because I wasn't ready to start baby sitting. Her godfather would also tear the guy to shreds... Anyways, I am now on my way to Jon's room. The room is quiet except for the faint sound of fingers on glass and Arc’s keyboard clicking steadily across the room. I step inside and pause, my eyes locking briefly on Arc. He's sitting on the edge of the bed, laptop perched on his knees, eyes scanning the screen with laser focus. His brows are slightly drawn, lips tight. He looks… intense. But

  • THE WEREWOLF AND VAMPIRE'S MATE   Chapter One

    AURORA'S POV: My body temperature keeps increasing as the images blurs in front of me. The blood dripping from sharp fangs, the blue eyes staring intensely at me in the darkness - cold and piercing. Then the green eyes. Forest green, burning like embers. I flinch as a snarl rips through the silence and claws reach out, wrapping around my neck. My chest tightens. I can't move. It's like my entire body is frozen. The images start flickering, shifting too fast for me to grasp. My body jerks up, drenched in cold sweat and I look around the room in fear, waiting for the creatures who keep showing up in dreams to jump on me in real life. I haven't had one of these in a while. It's probably because of the horror movie I watched last night. The first day of junior year should feel like any other. But it doesn’t. Maybe it’s the dream that woke me up in bad way; flashes of different eyes, a whisper I can’t make out. Or maybe it’s the fact that the Andersons are t

  • THE WEREWOLF AND VAMPIRE'S MATE   Chapter Two

    AURORA'S POV: Jon doesn’t move. He just stands there, looking at me like I’m supposed to understand what he just said.I don’t."You’re… what?" I ask, glancing at Cali for some kind of sanity check.She looks just as stunned. "Did he just say mate? Like… soulmate? Or like… kangaroo mate?" Jon ignores her, his green eyes locked on mine. "I know this sounds crazy, but you’re my mate. My-" "Nope." I cut him off and take a step back. "I don’t know what you think is happening here, but I’m not your anything." Something flickers in his expression, something almost hurt but he schools his face quickly. "You don’t understand yet.""You’re right. I don’t."And I don’t plan to. I turn on my heel and walk away, ignoring the stares, the whispers. Jon Drago can take his weird Australian nonsense and keep it far, far away from me. I have enough drama in my life to come and start adding boys to it. The first half of the day goes by pretty quickly thankfully because I'm alre

    AURORA'S POV: I don’t know what’s worse, the way Arc is looking at me, or the way my heart is pounding like I just sprinted a mile.Mate.Jon said it first. Now Arc.Two completely different guys. Two complete strangers. And both of them are acting like they own me. Two people I have never spoken to before today. I just new there was something bad about today.I take another step back, trying to put distance between us, but Arc moves just as quickly, closing the space. His expression is unreadable, but there’s something sharp in his eyes-like he’s trying to figure out a puzzle and doesn’t like the answer."This doesn’t make sense," he mutters. "Vampires don’t have mates."Vampire. I almost laugh. This guy is obviously insane. First Jon and his mate nonsense, now Arc talking about vampires? Is this some elaborate prank? Some secret game all the hot guys at Clarence High play? "Yeah, okay," I say, voice tight. "Well, whatever weird fantasy you’re living in, leave me o

    Aurora’s POV: Darkness isn't empty. It hums. It breathes. It waits. That’s the last thing I remember before I come crashing back into consciousness. My eyes flutter open to harsh white lights above me, blurry and too bright. Everything feels... off. Like I’m underwater, and the surface is too far to reach. My tongue is thick in my mouth. My head pulses in a slow, agonizing rhythm. I blink, trying to bring the world into focus.Where the hell am I?A dull ache blossoms in my ankle, radiating up my leg, and that’s when it clicks; the game. The court. The spike. My fall.Jon’s voice, distant and panicked.Arc’s face, twisted, unreadable. "Hey, hey, Aurora?" A familiar voice cuts through the fog. I turn toward it too fast, and pain shoots through my skull. I groan. Cali leans over me, her brows knit tight in concern, her messy bun frizzed around the edges like she’s been tugging at it. There’s a bandage on her wrist, probably from catching me. "Thank God," she says with a

    AURORA’S POV: The scratch of pens, the low hum of the overhead projector, and the half-hearted drone of Mr. Haynes lecturing about cell division fill the classroom. I’m staring blankly at my notebook, pretending to take notes, but my thoughts are still tangled in the locker room incident and the strange, gold-eyed man who vanished like a ghost.I shouldn’t be thinking about it. But I am. "Seer," he’d whispered. The word echoes in my head like a bell tolling underwater. I don’t even know what it means. And worse, I haven’t told anyone. Not Jon. Not Arc. Especially not Arc.A crumpled note lands on my desk. I blink, glancing down. In messy, rushed handwriting, it says: You okay? You’ve been zoning out for ten minutes.- J I glance up. Jon is two rows ahead, angled just enough to watch me without making it obvious. Our eyes meet. He offers a small, concerned smile. Warm. Comforting. I smile back, but before I can write a reply, I hear the exaggerated clearin

    AURORA'S POV:It's barely dawn, and I haven’t slept a damn minute. It’s early, too early, but I’m wide awake, staring blankly at the ceiling like it holds the answers to all the chaos that is my life. The room is still dark, a soft grey light barely seeping through the window blinds. My heart hasn't stopped its uneasy thudding since last night. Since that kiss. Since I let myself drown in Jon, only to come to my senses and shove him out of my room like my skin was on fire. I've been staring at the ceiling throughout the whole night. I don't even know what to do anymore. My mind keeps drifting to the kiss Jon and I shared. Because it was. I press the back of my hand to my lips, remembering the way his mouth moved on mine...hungry, desperate, real. I had felt every emotion he poured into me like it was my own. And that is what scared me. Not the kiss. The way I felt during it.Jon’s hands gripping my waist, his lips claiming mine like he was drowning and I was his ai
