And despite the fact that that should have been exactly what I wanted from her, I couldn't help but feel like I'd just fucked up somehow. Like I'd failed at something without even knowing what it was.

I'd woken up on the eleventh of June with the image seared right into the backs of my eyelids and the urge to mark my skin with it itching at me so insistently that I'd headed out that day to get it done. The Dragon and the Phoenix curved around each other like they were playing out a scene from legends long since dead but something about the way the two of them almost seemed to actually move across my skin always set me at peace when I looked at them.
Kaelyn
The fact that theyre star crossed now is pissing me off

I found Gabriel had sent me a video and I clicked on it, fighting a snort at the tiny snake in it who was wearing an equally tiny cowboy hat.

and the end of it was muddled with so many intersecting lines that it was hard to tell whether the love continued beyond them or if the relationship ended abruptly within those trials.

I’d never once been tempted by a student, or remotely interested in the fantasy of the forbidden. But she was so star damned alluring, and so fucking powerful, her talking to me like I commanded her respect was a sin in itself which my cock liked way too much.

“I think Darcy might be a Siren,” I said and his brows arched. “Oh yeah? Why do you think that?” he asked. “It’s just a vibe. Like she’s trying to manipulate my feelings or something,” I muttered and he nodded slowly. “Yeah now you say it, Roxy could be one too,” he said thoughtfully. “Really? You felt it from her as well?” I asked hopefully, latching onto this explanation with both hands. “Yeah, like a sort of pull...” “Exactly,” I agreed and relief fell between us.

"Stagnant," Lance replied in a droll tone. "How about you? Any sign of your Dragon Emerging yet?" "Not yet," Xavier sighed. "I wish it would hurry up. I just wanna go flying in the clouds and learn to do a bunch of tricks and flips."

“Is this where you’ve been hiding then?” I asked, ignoring her little outburst as I forced my attention from her mouth and the filthy things I'd like to do with it as I quickly tapped on my Atlas and used it to order the room to retrieve my mail.

A flicker of fear danced through her eyes for a moment and I stilled, not wanting her to look at me that way for some reason. Like I really was the monster my father had made me.

His grey eyes glazed for a second as he fell into a vision and when he refocused, he glanced at the back of the couch like he’d seen something there and surprise crossed his features. “Blue means you…holy shit,” he muttered under his breath.

“So take a new path,” he urged. “You can be happy, I know you can.” “You’ve seen it?” I asked, begged really, because I couldn’t see any path in my future that led to happiness.

Cal had the right idea. Fuck ‘em, break ‘em, dump ‘em. Then the two of us could run off into the sunset together. Not as a couple obviously. Unless… I pictured Cal’s mouth on my cock in place of the one currently sliding up and down it with enthusiasm

Last night had felt so right. All six of us together, hanging out. I always felt unequal around other students, the way they revered me or feared me, it made it difficult to form any equal relationships outside of the Heirs. But with her and Tory, they just…fit.
Kaelyn
I actually love that, I want all of them to be friends so bad.

"Do you really think all this is necessary?" Caleb interrupted, pushing his fingers into his blonde curls as he looked between the three of us. "I personally feel like it makes us look kinda weak. Why are we attacking a couple of untrained girls and trying to chase them out? If we really believe they'll never be able to outmatch us in skill, then why not let them attend the academy? I don't feel like they're ever going to claim the throne from us anyway. Not if we keep building on our knowledge and refining our magic. How could they ever catch up to us in skill? And it’s not like our power is ...more

“Now listen to me, Orio,” he said, slamming the empty bottle down on the kitchen counter and my spine straightened at the bossiness to his tone. “You have to start paying attention to your instincts. And I know you’re the most negative asshole in the world, but I’m telling you there’s hope here. There’s a way out of this shit pit you call a life.”

With a wrenching feeling in my stomach, I pulled back, leaving my teeth firmly out of her and I shot away with a burst of speed, knowing if I moved any slower I’d pause to smash my fist into Seth’s face.

“Gabriel,” I gasped, gripping his shoulder hard. “What’s going on?” “You need to go,” he said, panic flashing in his eyes. “Go where?” I asked in confusion. “To Darius. Now, Lance,” he said frantically. “He’s about to go home to kill his father. The Guardian bond will draw you to him the moment the fight begins. And you’ll die in the crossfire before Darius is brought to his knees at Lionel’s feet.”
Kaelyn
FUCK I KNOW THEY DONT DIE BUT NO WAY
"You find something to hold on to," Lance said. "Something to anchor you to who you are and you don't fucking let go of it."
