The cold hit first. Sharp, sudden, and uninvited. Kai dropped from the portal with a hard thud, landing back-first in a mound of fresh, biting snow. The wind howled around him, whispering curses in languages long forgotten. He gasped, barely registering the crunch of ice beneath his boots as he staggered to his feet, shaking snow from his hair and sleeves. Thalia landed just a second after, feet planted gracefully despite the terrain, her cloak fluttering like a flag in the blizzard. “I really hate magic portals,” Kai muttered, brushing frost from his arms. Thalia only sniffed, looking around with narrowed eyes. “Snowy mountains. Freezing wind. Nothing but white in every direction. Yep, definitely screams certain death." They were still surveying the expanse when something heavy crashed down from the sky like a meteor, slamming straight into Kai’s back. “GRAAH—!” “Ughh… that was a long fall,” came Jace’s groaning voice, face buried in Kai’s hood as the two of them rolled down a

Roger paced before the vamp's camp, his cloak swirling behind him like a storm caught in fabric. His voice cracked the air with fury as he spoke, his sharp tone flaring like drawn steel. “Four teams! Four!” he shouted, turning on them all. “You were given one task — one simple, bloody task: stop that girl and her pets. But instead, you’ve managed to embarrass us. Not one lantern, not one fragment retrieved. And Valen......” He gestured toward the great, tall, silent, broad-shouldered Valen, who stood with his arms folded, eyes like ice under moonlight. “You're the eldest! You were supposed to care more than I do!” Roger spat. “What happened?” Valen didn’t answer. He simply looked ahead, expression unreadable. One of the younger vampires managed to speak. “She had a team. One that wasn’t weak.” Roger turned sharply, eyes glowing red. "You mean you were weak," he hissed. The others lowered their gazes like scolded dogs. The wind shifted. A sudden voice called out, light as velvet.
Chapter 13
Selene wasn’t breathing hard. She didn’t need to. Vampires rarely run out of breath. But if she could gasp, curse, or throw her boots at someone, she would’ve done all three. Branches slapped across her face as she tore through the forest like a possessed squirrel, the thunderous stomps behind her sounding far too close for comfort. Leaves exploded around her. The ground shook with every step of the beast chasing her. The Golem. The nightmare Dean Arven had lovingly dialed up to “apocalypse.” “This is not happening,” she muttered, fangs bared as she zigzagged past a twisted tree. “Those lunatic from that vampire squad slapped this cursed lantern on me after the smoke bomb. Now I’m the bloody piñata.” She could feel the cursed thing bouncing against her back with every leap, a soft glowing target strapped like a bullseye between her shoulder blades. And the Golem? Relentless. Its huge limbs moved like living boulders, and while Selene was fast—faster than most—this thing didn’t n

“Tell me again why it’s faster this year,” muttered Dorlin, the Arcane principal, nursing a chipped wine glass like it was an old wound. “I swear I just heard it outrun a Stone Born.” Chestnuts cracked lazily between Dean Arven’s fingers as she sat back in her chair, legs crossed, expression unreadable. The table before her held a half-open bottle of champagne, a mostly ignored plate of fruit slices, and a silver bowl of roasted seeds—most of which were already gone. Around the table, the other principals sat with varying degrees of discomfort. Not because of the refreshments, no. It was the elephant in the room—or more accurately, the Golem on the map. “Because,” Arven said, popping a chestnut into her mouth, “I increased its speed.” “You what?” Elmira, head of the Iron Fang’s faction, choked on her fruit and reached for water. “You cranked up the speed and the rage index? Are you trying to bury these kids alive?” “Seventy percent of the students who went through your portal ar
Chapter 11
Selene moved through the thickening trees with the fluid, soundless grace of a panther. Every step was calculated. Her cloak fluttered behind her, blending with the shadows. Though her body was calm, her thoughts stormed. Each breath sharpened the edge of her fury. Then, ahead—she saw them. Four figures stood loosely around a broken stone lantern pedestal, speaking in low, cocky voices. They didn’t hide themselves. They didn’t need to. Vampires of their class rarely did. Selene stepped into the clearing, her voice cutting the air like a blade. “I should’ve known it was you.” The figures froze. The tallest turned first—sleek white hair, lazy golden eyes, and a smirk that could cut through steel. He wore the Academy uniform with arrogant flair, sleeves rolled up like this was just another casual school day. “Selene.” His smirk widened. “Knew you’d show up. Always too proud to let your prey run off.” “Cassian.” Her voice was steel wrapped in velvet. “Didn’t think you’d crawl into
Chapter 10
The forest had gone quiet again—but it wasn’t peace. It was the heavy silence that settles after something sharp has passed through, leaving the trees holding their breath. Just a thick, uneasy silence pressing down on the group as they crept forward. Kai took a cautious step toward the bushes where the sound had last come from, his hand brushing the hilt of his weapon. Thalia flanked his left, blade drawn, eyes sharp. Jace stayed back just enough to provide cover, murmuring a soft enchantment under his breath, pretending to know what he’s doing. Selene walked ahead of them all—silent and alert like a predator chasing a scent. “Over here,” Selene murmured. They stepped into a clearing that didn’t feel like a clearing—it felt like a wound. The ground was torn in places, grass flattened and stained red. A few broken tents sagged at the edges. And in the middle, eight students were sprawled across the dirt, some unconscious, some moaning in pain. Kai’s breath caught in his throat. “
