Kindle Notes & Highlights
Since I’d left Blue with Darius, the lasting imprint of her ashen cheeks and wide eyes were burned into my retinas. She’d fought at my side tonight with the fierceness of a warrior. And she’d saved my fucking life. Now, I was adrift without her, my heart trying to tear its way out of my chest in a bid to go to her.
Francesca was one of my Nebula Allies. She'd been in Aer House with me at Zodiac and since she'd joined the FIB she'd helped me out more than a few times when she was off duty.
So shes his bestie? I mean slay we all have a bestie 🙂 but it’s weird for him to have friends cause he is always in a bad mood
“Ew,” she breathed. “By the stars, does he still make the students wear those skimpy bathing suits?” “Yep.” “I remember mine used to give me the worst wedgie and he just loved watching me try to sort it out.” “Oh yeah, I remember that. That's why everyone called you Wedge-cesca.” “They did not!” She smacked my arm and I chuckled, a weight easing from my chest.
I love this funny interaction🩵 Also washer has always been a pervert I guess 😳 but my question is why is the school allowing this to happen 🤨
WELCOME TO HELL WEEK! You and the rest of the freshman class are now formally beginning the week leading up to The Reckoning. During this week you must pass the trials of your Elements before taking part in the final assessment which will determine whether you are worthy of your place at our prestigious academy. To make sure you are thoroughly challenged, the rest of the student body will be throwing further tests your way at every turn and making your lives hell! Will you make the cut for this year’s official enrolment? It’s time to prove how Fae you are. Yours - Principal Nova
“I just wanted to say um....well what you both did when the Nymphs showed up…it was really brave. And I'm not sure I would still be here if it wasn't for you two. That Gus Vulpecula guy is a filthy liar. My mum works for The Daily Solaria though, so I’ll make sure she gets the truth. The real truth.” He placed something down on my desk then on Tory's before hurrying back to his seat.
“Maybe it’s not worth playing his games if he’s just going to catch you anyway?” Darcy suggested as I started stripping out of my uniform. “It gives me a shot at escaping,” I replied. “Besides…it’s pretty hot.” “There it is,” Darcy said, rolling her eyes while Sofia laughed.
“Let’s see if your theory about that outfit has any merit to it then,”
“If I win, I get to keep the bike,” I said. “You won’t win,” he replied dismissively. “Then you won’t be afraid to agree to my terms.” “Fine. What do I get when I win?” he asked.
his throat bobbed as his mouth hovered an inch from mine. The scent of cinnamon rolled over me and fire reached deep inside me, making me consider leaning in for a kiss. We’d made a solid decision to stay away from each other and look where we’d ended up already? Great effort.
“Your pack will come back to you.” He clapped me firmly on the shoulder. I wrapped myself around him, needing that hug more than anything in the world right now. “Ashanti,” I choked out and he held me tighter. “I know,” he sighed. “Fuck the Nymphs. We'll destroy them all one day.”
“That's not a terrible idea. Roxy Vega has dry humped me on more than one occasion so I could probably win her round.” “I do hope you're fucking joking right now,” Caleb said in a deadly low voice, and I turned to him with a grin. “Someone's jealous,” I taunted, shoving his thigh with mine and he pressed his lips together into a tight line.
“Now, you two might as well go back to your Houses,” Darius suggested as he pulled his shirt off, exposing those muscles to the sun and forcing me to check him out. Which he totally noticed. He smirked at me as he started to unbuckle his belt and the other Dragons began to undress too. “We’re going for a fly.”
“That email is for your eyes only. I’m desperate here, that’s why I’m doing this. It will show you how serious I am about this. I don’t want to hurt you. But if you refuse to meet me tonight, it will only be another day or two before I lose control.” His grip on my arm tightened and my breathing quickened from the intensity of his tone. “That message is ammo against me. I’m trusting you not to use it. But if I fuck with you tonight in any way, you’ve got it as a back-up, okay babe?”
“You’d need a wide-angle lens to fit it all in if it was.” “Yeah, keep telling yourself that.” I looked at the screen and found he was now holding a sign over his junk that said I renounce my claim to the throne of Solaria.
“Not yet,” he murmured. “What else have I got to do?” I asked suspiciously, the high of the run starting to wear off. “We need to bond a bit,” he said stiffly. I narrowed my eyes. “Like how?” “Nothing sexual, babe. Jeez. I gave you my word, didn’t I?”
“I nearly didn’t,” he muttered. “There was a blizzard that week. The snow was so thick I only had to step outside the cave to be blinded by the endless fog. So, I holed up in there, frozen to the bone, starving and…alone.” His jaw tightened. “I’d never been alone before. I’ve got a lot of family. We always slept together, and I didn’t realise how painful it would be to be cut off like that.” He rubbed a hand over his face with a sigh. “Do you remember what you said to me the other week, how I didn’t break you...I forged you?” He looked to me, and my stomach clenched as I nodded. “It made me

Wait this is sad😭 that why he doesn’t want to be alone cause he hates being alone😭✨ I don’t forgive him for what he did to Darcy and Tory but this make feel sad for him😭🌱
“I’m mostly embarrassed it’s you,” he replied scathingly. “You’re not even hot.” “Bite me,” I joked. “Don’t tempt me.” I looked at him a little more closely and noted the bags beneath his eyes. “Maybe you should go get your Vega out of bed,” I suggested.
I paused a few feet from the ice chiller, fighting against the urge to look back over to them again. Roxy Vega might have been the most irritatingly rude and stubborn girl I’d ever met but she was fucking hot. And with the stupid games we played together while I was tutoring her in her fire magic, I had to admit that I’d imagined her stripping for me more than once.
