“Leon the Lion?” I teased, a smirk hooking my lips up. I’d laughed out loud when I’d read it in his file during my research before coming here. His star sign was Leo too, it was too fucking funny. “Is that an unfortunate coincidence or something?”

“Chin up, carina, maybe we’ll be sharing the bottom bunk soon anyway.” I winked and she tilted her head, seeming to assess me. “What does carina mean?” “Cutie.” I rested my forearms on her mattress, owning it.

I stepped back, trying not to be rattled by her snarky comment. She wanted me. She had to. It was what girls did. They walked into rooms and wanted me. It was practically a law of nature. I was nearly six and a half foot of stacked muscle with skin the colour of honey and eyes that fucked you before you were even undressed. Who wouldn’t want that?

“They can hypnotise you into seeing fantasies. You shouldn’t hold that stronzo’s eye.” I’d never met a Basilisk Shifter before; I knew they were crazy rare but not a whole lot else about them. I guess I’d just imagined a huge snake and not given a lot of thought to whatever powers he might possess. More fool me.

My brows lowered and she didn’t recoil from the dark glare I was giving her. I hated to admit it, but she had just made a decent point. And if new girl was power hungry, I had a lot of power between my legs she could take the benefit of.

The urge to help her free and drag her into my arms was almost overwhelming, but I wouldn’t let it win. I’d treat her so mean, she’d refuse me even if her soul burned right out of her body in search of mine.

“You promised snacks,” he reminded me. “I said there were snacks. I never said they were for you.” Leon growled playfully, eyeing my chocolate bar with intent. “Besides,” I added. “There’s no way I’d be hand feeding you even if you could convince me to share.” “Oh c’mon,” he whispered. “I’ll suck your fingers.” “That’s not appealing.” “Fine.”

Eugene Dipper had the misfortune of being paired with me first and I smiled darkly at him as he approached me across the Empyrean Fields. His small frame lacked an ounce of muscle and his large front teeth and blonde hair gave him the appearance of the white rat of his Order form.
Kaelyn
I didnt realize there were shifters for weak animals too. I guess only the impressive ones go to zodiac so that makes sense i suppose

Ryder grinned darkly, leaning in to Elise’s ear. “Well my option doesn’t expire. If you get bored of Mufasa’s kid and fancy a taste of Scar, you can come to my room. And all over my room too. I’ll wait to hear about the safe word.”

“Why are you crying?” he asked, his voice a dangerous growl. “Who hurt you?” “What?” I shook my head as I tried to move past him, but he shifted his muscular body right back into my path. “Tell me who hurt you, Elise,” Ryder hissed.

Ryder shedded his blazer, lifting a razor blade into the air to the whooping cheers of the Brotherhood. It was his way of making sure he always drew first blood in battle, by drawing it from himself. He slit his thumb, painting two lines up his cheeks. And that was it. The signal for this to begin.

I still needed too much information from them. I still needed to figure out how they factored into my brother’s death. Or if either one of them was the man responsible.

I dropped into my seat, slinging my arm around the back of hers and leaning in close as the rest of the class continued to chat. Professor Titan wasn’t here yet so I had a few minutes to get her agree to something I had never, ever offered anyone. A date.

For a moment I caught sight of the face beneath the hood and gasped as I recognised Gabriel. “Your sacrifice must be given freely. You must choose death and give your powers to me as you pass for the magic to cleanse you. And if you do, it will banish all of your pain, erase your heartache, consume your grief...and leave you pure and free of it in the afterlife,” he said. I blinked and realised it wasn’t Gabriel at all; it was Ryder.
