The Awakening as Told by the Boys (Zodiac Academy, #1.5)

by Caroline Peckham

I stepped away from him, ignoring the stupid bond which pined like a little bitch, wanting me to stay there in his arms like we were in some epic romance novel instead of a fucked up tragedy with a whole dollop of life threatening bullshit thrown in.

now kiss

Choose wisely, Dragon born. The greatest treasure is the hardest won.

That was around about the time I’d realised I might have a drinking problem.

my broody alcoholic professor

This girl was beautiful in a way that ran somehow deeper than her skin, in a way I could feel.

soulmates!

That blue hair would look so fucking good wrapped around my fist. By the stars, she’s gonna be your damn student, idiot.

sir....

Darcy nodded easily and fuck, I liked that. I liked it too much, having her obey me. She was a princess, daughter to a man I despised, my mortal enemy right here in the flesh. And I owned her in that moment.

sweet baby jesus lance, keep it in your pants

Of course, then my treacherous mind ran to the dangerous place where my punishments involved me pushing her down on my desk and spanking her ass raw, and I cursed myself internally. What the fuck’s the matter with me?

keep it inside your whore pants, slut

The kind where she was pinned beneath me gasping my name. Focus.

are all of darius' chapters going to be about how much he wants to fuck tory? I love it

My thumping pulse picked up speed for a wholly different reason as I drank her in. Long, black hair tumbled down her spine, her green eyes turned up towards the curving roof as she drank in the sight of the building she was in. Her lips were full and primed for tasting, but the set of her mouth said she was more used to frowning than smiling. She was without a doubt, the most stunning creature I'd ever laid my eyes upon and I couldn't help but stare at her as she moved deeper into the room with the other students.

yep. hes gonna horny it up

My fist clenched as I met her green gaze and it felt like a shot of power snapped from her soul right into mine. I was held captive there, wanting her and hating her for it. Hating her for all the reasons I knew I had to hate her, but just fucking wanting her all the same. Fuck.

fuck indeed mr acrux

Fuck she'd look good being bent to my will.

down boy

Damn the moon, this bluebird is pretty though.

I hate you Seth

Like strawberries and the gilded blood of a princess. Maybe I’d dom her down and mark her with my own scent.

you dont amuse me

Kylie supressed a laugh while a vicious grin curled up my lips. I didn’t make her participate in the initiation ‘cause I was nice like that. Her tits looked top dollar tonight too which helped. And I considered this my apology for the rampant sex party I’d had the moment I got back to the academy.

oh you are so wise and generous oh mighty bitch boy Seth

And if I had to destroy her bite by bite, then I’d at least get time to enjoy the meal I made of her.

wow I hate him no less

Come on, baby girl, why don't you come show me what you're made of?

give her time asshole

Swerving Francesca staying over because I wanted to cuddle Darius – I mean, talk to him about the Vegas - then bourbon. Lots of bourbon.

NOW kiss!

My cock twitched at the thought of that and I decided I was hot for power.

you are in front of a class full of students, professor Orion

Didn’t realise the kid was a comedian. I snatched his arm and dug my fangs into it, drinking deeply from the vein. The boy released a yell of pain and - holy mother of fuck, what the hell is that? He tastes like a foot.

thats interesting....

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.

RYDER!!! MY beautiful snake boy!

Lance: That cowsnake doesn’t look like he’d be good for much wrangling. A photo came in of a plastic cow now sitting beside the snake and I bit down on a laugh. Lance: Clearly I was mistaken. Noxy: Clearly.

I am dying! poor ryder. did Leon do this to him?

Lance: Eat a dick. Noxy: Is that an offer? Lance: You wish. Noxy: I do. Every night on every star in the sky.

now kiss!! pt 2

My eyes snapped to her. “The one who has tried to individualise herself by dyeing the ends of her hair blue. It has failed by the way.” The only thing it’s ensured is that I can’t stop thinking about what it would look like spilled across my pillow while my hand is braced against the wall above her. Stop.

god he is whipped

Power wise we were all definitely evenly matched but with Darius's Order influencing his build he was now over six and a half foot tall and his muscles had muscles on them so even my six foot two couldn't compare. Asshole.

oh no... you're so short Caleb. you should be ashamed

"I'm blind!" Seth wailed. "I'll never see a hot rack or a rocking cock again!"

shut it dog. stay blind.

And neither you nor Xavier should really need any more lessons in undesirable consequences, should you?"

father of the century

I found she was also gifted with a line called the Ring of Solomon which curved beneath her index finger. I frowned as I examined the rare line, the marking indicating a Fae who was self-sacrificing and good at heart.

The markings spoke of a significant love in her life that would be wrought with hardship and emotional turmoil. It was split in places which indicated the worst of those hardships 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.

She was mine. I mean, her blood was mine.

You like that, do you, sweetheart?

dick in pants altair

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.

Damn cryptic oracle man.

that's my Gabriel

“I swear Altair is made for scoring Pits. She’s like a rocket on the field, especially when the Lion starts knocking everyone over.”

my babies!!!

finding a photo sent from Gabriel of a snake with a top hat on and a tiny rose between its teeth.

I love this so much

A laugh tumbled from my chest and Francesca gaped at me. “How’s that funny? My colleague died, Lance,” she said in horror. “Right yeah, it was just how he died that was amusing,” I tried to cover my ass. “Being blasted to pieces in front of his family by a maniac?” Great. He had to die horrifically, didn’t he? Couldn’t have died drowning in a whirlpool of Griffin shit. Selfish bastard. “Er-” I drained my whiskey. “Another drink?”

smoooooth

She can’t. He’s a fucking Heir. The worst fucking Heir.

I agree

"Did you at least let her feel the full power of a Dragon between her thighs and the dominance of our kind bending her to submit to your will? Did you take her body and use it like the beast you were born to be and force her to understand what it is to be owned by the king of all Orders?"

excuse me??

I'd been avoiding her for a damn good reason and as my cock jerked like it wanted to salute her in greeting, I was forcefully reminded why.

So with that plan in mind and the desire to help fix whatever was causing the turbulent emotions I kept tasting on Darius, I was willing to do anything it took to fight against the Vegas.

I still dont forgive you

I smiled like I was amused by his remark, but I wasn't a fan of forcing lust on people without them wanting it.

not you being half a decent fae max...

"I heard you can fill a room with so much lust that a girl can come just from walking into it," one of the girls said breathily, eyeing me with a keen interest which I couldn't say I minded. "It's happened once or twice," I admitted with a grin that made them all giggle.

that's wild

"Fuck," Lewis cursed, staring down at the cum stain seeping through his shorts.

poor lewis...

I dropped onto the bed between the other two and I lost myself in the feeling of fucking all of them one after another until any lingering guilt I might have been harbouring was well and truly gone.

fuck away the guilt

"Okay," Caleb conceded though he didn't look all that happy about it. "If you're all determined to go ahead then you know I'm with you like always."

Complacent little bitch

Seth clapped his hands excitedly, waving a hand in the air. "I volunteer as tribute! I'm gonna make her fall in love with me so hard that she'll be panting all over my cock by the night of the party. Then bam, like a ninja with more than just a single weapon between my thighs I'll strike and cut her hair clean off. Bye bye hair, bye bye dignity, bye bye Vega."

you disgust me

Even better, it was my Vega.

don't let Darius hear you say that

But I actually kinda hoped it wouldn't work. I relished the idea of the challenge this girl and her sister could present to us.

Complacency does not make you innocent caleb

"So what's the plan today, Mr Caleb?" Teddy asked perkily.

mr Caleb *snort*

Oh no wait, I’d rather put my cock in a blender.

colorful

“Then tell me,” I said dryly, waving a hand. “Go on, oh mighty Seer. Tell me what fate I’m fucking up now.” “The best one of your damn life,” he snapped and my eyebrows arched at the fury in his tone.

darcy??
