Nadia scurried down a narrow flight of stairs, leading into the dimly illuminated bowels of the college. Dust motes danced in the single, blinking overhead bulb that did nothing but loom creepy shadows on the walls.Nadia practically dragged me down the creaky, cobweb-draped stairs leading to the school’s basement. My senses were already on high alert. Why in grief’s name were we heading to the school’s basement?Bruh, this was my first day at school!Luna, of course, was having a meltdown in my head. "Are you crazy, Nimue? Down here? It's the basement! Basements are for creepy crawlies and forgotten gym socks, not following weird vampires!"I was already fretting, really and Luna was just making matters worse!Umbra silenced her with a dry, "She's a vampire, Luna, not a sewer monster. Besides, she can't exactly drag Nimue to the rooftop for a heart-to-heart."Ignoring their bickering, I called after Nadia, "Hey, where are we going? This place gives me the heebie-jeebies!"She finall

Kieran~~I loved the look on her face when she saw my dick. Ah – I’d give anything to witness that look again. The way her confidence withered like a dead rose just when she met with the sight of my benevolent come monster.Aha! Arrogance had no place here, especially not after barging into my room.Such were the punishments befitting of erring little girls just like her. What guts she had to barge into my room unannounced. And why? Because she wanted to expose me and Lucille?Tch. She probably didn't know me. If she did, she would have feared me more. I was Kieran. The game master. No one could beat me at my game. There were so many things a lot of people would never find out about me - one of them was how fake my relationship with Lucille was.With Lucille’s mouth that was faster in transmitting gossip, the internet didn't come close, everyone was convinced that they were mates. It would be so much fun dumping the idiot when he found his real mate. Well, whoever his real mate was,

We slunk behind Chancellor Howlerton, the cheers, and jeers turning into tight-lipped whispers as the crowd parted for us like the Red Sea parting for a particularly grumpy Moses. Inside his wood-paneled office, the Chancellor began a lecture that would have made even Shakespeare himself bow, complete with enough growls that I found so annoying. Could he just let me go? I was the Alpha’s son and had no business being here! "You two are the Alpha son and Beta respectively!" he roared, his voice echoing off the stacks of detention slips lining the wall. "This kind of behavior is unbecoming! Do you have any idea what the vampires will think? Do you want them to call in the exterminators again, claiming there's a rogue… uh… badger problem on campus?" Jin, as the model student - or at least the model student who didn't get caught setting off stink bombs in the cafeteria, simply nodded in agreement with his face carefully schooled into an expression of remorse. Yeah, that was typica

Jin and Kieran were in hot water. Although Jin and I were not so close and had not seen much of each other since the guy seemingly always had to work, he was still nice to me. So, I wasn't enthusiastic that he was being grilled in the Chancellor’s office but Kieran?Hell, I wished the man could return every punch the rascal had delivered on Jin back on him. But come to look at it, Jin seemed to have the upper hand in the fight.Did that mean Kieran was all talk and lesser power? Tch. Why was I not surprised?I grabbed Nadia's arm, proceeding forward urgently. "Come on, faster! We need to find out what's going on in there!"Nadia, however, dug her heels in with a frown creasing her brow. "Why do we need to find out anything, Nimue? Did you see how everyone else scattered like startled pigeons? Even Lucille hightailed it out of here.""So?" I scoffed. "They're scaredy-cats. Besides, wouldn't you want to know what the chancellor is currently doing to those two? Do you think he’ll make th
