All Chapters of Mystic Academy: Chapter 21 - Chapter 30

KELANI POVStill clutching the envelope tightly in my hand, I let out a breath, scanning my surroundings. I gazed back at the contents. I couldn't count how many times I had read it, but each time left me confused."I'm watching you," I muttered. What could it mean? Perhaps it explained the tingling sensation I often felt at the back of my neck—the feeling of being watched and followed—a sense that something terrible was about to disrupt the school's activities.Letting out a slow, deep breath, I couldn't tell who had sent it. Whoever did so had definitely run before I came out of the room.Or maybe it was a prank, I mused, stepping back inside. Riley must have left it to scare me since I refused to join the cheerleaders. But she hadn't looked upset, and she didn't seem like the type to do something like that. Riley was unpredictable most of the time."I need to find out who did this," I said to myself. If it was Riley, I needed to know. Dwelling on who might have done it wouldn't pro

VESPER POV I arrived home after some time. It wasn't my initial intention. I had hoped to stay a bit longer to assess the situation, but Kelani's presence made it challenging to remain there. Her presence, coupled with her captivating scent and the sensation of her soft body pressing against mine, made it difficult. It seemed as if she had emitted pheromones, seeking more attention from the boys around. Also, I sensed Miles. It had tugged at my chest and clawed, wanting to pull out of me. I knew it was all Mile's doing. It was the only one overjoyed by the thoughts of Kelani. Or maybe it was doing it on purpose to get back at me for not listening to let it go. Miles had strongly encouraged me to assert my claim on her, mark her, and make her mine. But it had taken all the willpower in me not to do so. Moreover, I wasn't repulsed by the idea of marking Kelani at that moment; despite not actively seeking a mate or ever thought of having one, I had desired her. At that instant, it b

VESPER POVI loved Kelani?That was the most absurd thing I've heard today. Coach Jensen insisted I had feelings for her earlier, and now, Lance accused me of loving her.The urge to toss my head back and burst into a peal of laughter filled me, but the situation itself wasn't funny. If it had been, I would have done just that."Admit it, Thorne. Are those your feelings for her?""What the heck are you talking about?!" I scowled at him.Why would he think I was ever interested in Kelani? Had she told him that? I doubted it. I hadn't seen any real interactions between him and Kelani before. Don't get me wrong; I didn't stalk her and never will, but Kelani and Lance had never spoken before.At least, not that I had seen them having a conversation."You know what I'm talking about, bro," Lance yelled back. "I never thought you would stoop that low to lie to my face. I held you in high regard.""Are you on meth?" I asked. He definitely should be on one because there was no way in hell he

KELANI POVSlinging my backpack over my shoulder, I breathed out, stepping out of the room. It was just another Monday. Although weekdays weren't my favorite, I felt a hint of excitement today.Seems like I woke up in a good mood today.Glancing around, I lowered my gaze and stepped on something squishy – it was an envelope—the black envelope to be precise. Frowning, I scanned the area again, trying to spot whoever had dropped it. I knew it would be almost impossible since they were keeping their identity a secret.I picked up the envelope, still addressed to me, and opened it slowly, hoping for different content this time. But it remained the same."I'm watching you," I murmured, shaking my head. The unsettling feeling persisted as I couldn't figure out who might be watching me.I wondered if it meant watching my activities outside or maybe even indoors. I could be indecent, but I doubted they cared.It felt creepy, and I doubted it was someone I knew. I started listing all the poss

KELANI POV"Let me go!" I growled, but my voice was muffled by his hand.Stamping my feet on the ground to resist being pulled, I gritted my teeth. Though I knew it was a weak attempt to save myself, it was better than doing nothing and accepting the horrid fate that awaited me.He pulled me so hard that my back slammed into his solid body, and I caught a whiff of his scent."Vesper?" I mumbled, turning in his arms as his grip loosened."What the hell, Vesper? Didn't you leave for home?" My eyes narrowed at him, and the possibility of him being a stalker surged through me.He could possibly be the one, but what did he want from me?Taking a step away from him, I eyed him cautiously, waiting for a response. Simultaneously, my eyes darted around, searching for the easiest escape route if he decided to attack me.Yet, something within me did not point to him being the stalker. Call it a hunch; Vesper did not give off stalker vibes."It's foolish for you to walk at this time of night with
