Falling Shadows (Silvercrest Academy #1)

by K.C. Kean

Shadowmoor produces bad people and even worse lovers.

unfortunate

I slink

sHlink

Again. It’s not my fault his pencil dick didn’t make me want to stick around.

LMAOOOO

Alone, he was needy, whiny, and a raging fucking pussy.

So ths is how its going to be

Along with Mama when she deigns to make an appearance.

:[

Even if she’s never home, there’s always a roof over my head and food in the cupboards. It may be sparse some days, but it’s there all the same.

His voice is the same crisp ice I remember in my nightmares. The only thing different about him is the scar across his chin and the gray peppering his temples. “Abel,” I croak

“I was raised in Shadowmoor, in the pits of Hell. What would you know about how I was raised? You weren't there, Papa! Now, where is Mama?”

It feels the same, yet completely different all at once. I don’t know whether that’s because it’s so foreign to me now or because I’ve grown since then, but now it’s just brick and mortar. It doesn’t hold any more value than that.

Show me, make me feel it herre...doont jusst tell me T-T

That fact instantly makes me dislike this place a lot more than I did on the way here.

Imma need you to pump tthe breaks on the hate train

“Students,” he calls, garnering a tandem response from every student. “Professor Burton.” Chills run down my spine at the snap of obedience. It’s palpable in the air as I gulp.

Now thiss. Very interesting

I breathe in response, relieved I don’t have to navigate this place alone.

She feels fake. I dont trust her

“Keep your head down and avoid any trouble. Especially when it comes to your brother.”

Ugh

Not too much though. I’ll be able to hide away in my room as much as possible.

Lets hope, i dont trust it

“Nothing?” I clarify and she nods. “Your favor will be returned in one of two ways, as will everyone else’s.”

HUH!?

I really don’t have a clue what I’ve gotten myself into.

I went into this book blind. I read nothing about it before starting it. Im sso interested in whats going to happen

Using the cashless positivity that comes with unwillingly putting my life on the line, I grab a coffee from the vendor, along with a deli sandwich and cupcake, before I head back to my room.

Girl I wouddd too

His cropped brown hair and broad frame as he stands with his arms folded over his chest make him look almost daunting but, if anything, I find him intriguing. Especially his eyes. One’s brown, the other green.

I always forget to highlight descriptions. And forget what they look like

his tousled brown hair, blue eyes piercing into my skin as his chiseled jaw flexes for the briefest second before a wicked grin touches his lips.

edit: All these highlights willl make sense later

There’s a moody one and a flirt. How original.

real

inquisitive onyx eyes meet mine. He tucks his black hair behind his ear as he purses his lips.

With his hands tucked into his pants pockets,

There is always one

Hazel eyes are framed with black-rimmed glasses and his blond hair sticks out in every direction as if he hasn’t stopped tugging at the ends. He’s wearing a band tee with worn jeans and an almost-knowing smile on his face.

Halp

They’re all easily over six feet tall, making my five foot seven feel short in comparison.

Homie......im 5 foot even

Onyx Eyes waves his hand. “He doesn’t have a filter, so you’re going to have to sit back and let him process this out loud with us.”

Oh no

“I’m Zane, this is Creed, Eldon, and Brax,” he introduces, waving his finger at his friends too. Creed is Mr. Quiet with the onyx eyes, Eldon with the wicked grin, and Brax the muscle man.

“Is it there by choice?” Zane quizzes, nose scrunching with a hint of distaste. “No.”

Interestingg

“I can’t read what your anger means. If you hate him too, then⁠—”

Then wut

“We’ll be eating in two hours. That’s how long you have to get a grasp on your seemingly-new reality.” Eldon gives me a pointed look and I nod in agreement.

Excuse you siir we eat wheen we waant

Hand-to-hand combat, ordnance training, team building, and survival instincts are just some of the mandatory classes,

War, war never changges

I huff, too intrigued by the prospect of uncovering more of their dynamic to argue.

LMAO

I could definitely reach for another rib or a chicken breast, but out of principle, I don’t touch anything else once I’m done.

no

When do I get a say in my life again? It’s gone from zero to one hundred in a matter of hours and I need a breather.

:[

prepared for some kind of response, but nothing comes except a short, sharp laugh, and I could swear it’s Brax, but that’s impossible. Right?

LMAO

6 ELDON

Ive already forgot what he looks like -_-' edit: brown hair, blue eyes, shiteating grin

A dream which involved

Oh

there was no way in hell my solid-as-fuck cock would go unnoticed otherwise.

CHILL BRO

As much as I get a rush from the adrenaline, a nice dopamine boost from all of this, I’d much rather be curled up in my sheets with my dick in my hand. Unfortunately, it really is a matter of life or death.

LMAO WHATT

Which means I’m going to be carrying this sexual tension around with me all day.

So this is howw its gunna be LMAO

rooming with four hot guys, all in their own right, who have chiseled abs, defined Vs trailing down beneath their waistbands, and tight asses. I’m so screwed.

my usual make-up routine:

You were living in squalor but ad makeuuup?? lol

I startle when I find Creed leaning against the wall

onyx eyes edit: black hair i need to stop putting this book downn so much oool

placing his hand on the small of my back as he guides me to the left when we reach the end of the corridor. Heat blooms at his touch, rising up my spine and sending a shiver through my core. His head whips to mine, eyes wide, and he looks as startled as I feel.

Oh fated mates

Sinking my teeth into my bottom lip, I’m about done with all the judgment and orders being thrown my way,

I feel like she is going to tttt her shit rocked if she doesnt chill her chihuahua ass down

Flecks of gray tint his otherwise dark hair and the stubble on his cheeks is at least a day old.

Our investment in your training ensures the security of our borders.”

Wow

What a load of bullshit. Instead of trying to blow air up our asses to inflate our egos, maybe he should explain in more detail why any of this is necessary. But what the fuck do I know?

FR

What even is my life right now?

Bro

with Leila chuckling as she holds on tight to my arm.

Can anyone see her???

The irritation in his brown eyes, the quirk to his brows, and the way he naturally bears his teeth makes him look like a petulant child who didn’t get his way.

Lmao
