    • Chapter 46

      by Quinn Hawthorne The first day of Sex Magic 101 wasn’t even halfway through, and I was already on edge. The class was mandatory for Dark Cores, making it impossible for me to skip. But it was also an elective, meaning only the truly interested—or the curious—would choose to be here. And apparently, that list included a certain Light Core. Silas slipped into the seat beside me just as the instructor began speaking, ignoring the glances that immediately flickered his way. He didn’t have to be here. No one had forced…

      by Quinn Hawthorne The moment Pietro mentioned the rat, my heart thrummed with anticipation. It had been too long since I'd last indulged in the hunt, the chase, the sweet surrender of a life bleeding out under my hands. The exhilaration of it all was like a captivating melody, impossible to ignore and intoxicating. I could already feel the adrenaline coursing through my veins, the focus sharpening my senses to a fine point. Pietro knew the effect this would have on me. He understood the darker corners of my soul, the parts…
    • Chapter 45

      by Quinn Hawthorne The knock was measured, intentional. I knew who it was before I even opened the door. Word traveled fast around here, and it was only a matter of time before Gideon and Xavier came knocking, likely looking for answers. Or at least for me to confirm what they’d already heard. I swung open the door, and there they were, standing side by side like some odd pair of investigators—Gideon looking tense, almost hurt, and Xavier guarded, his usual easygoing demeanor subdued. “So, it’s true then,”…
    • Chapter 44

      by Quinn Hawthorne I revved down my bike, the familiar rumble of the engine fading to a low purr as I parked it in the building's underground garage. The cool, sterile air of the parking structure did little to mask the lingering scents of smoke and gunpowder that clung to my clothes. The Vultures had been through hell tonight, and the evidence of our struggle was written all over me. As I rode the elevator up to the penthouse, I couldn't help but let my thoughts drift from the club war that had erupted to my scent match,…
    • Chapter 44

      by Quinn Hawthorne My dorm felt oddly empty as I reached the familiar door, my hand pausing on the doorknob. Everything looked the same—the worn edges of the door, the slightly faded plaque listing the names of the residents. I squinted, feeling a sense of unease settle in my stomach. There was only one name on it. My heart skipped a beat as I took a closer look. My name was there, “Gideon Carter,” etched in the same blocky typeface I’d seen for the last four years. But underneath it, where “Silas Graves”…
    • Chapter 43

      by Quinn Hawthorne I was in the middle of a conversation with Razor, the tension of our words punctuated by the clinking of pool balls in the background, when the first explosion rocked the clubhouse. The ground shook beneath our feet, and the windows shattered, raining shards of glass down on us. Razor's eyes widened in shock, and I felt the adrenaline surge through my veins like wildfire. "What the hell was that?" he yelled over the sudden cacophony of alarms and shouting that erupted around us. I didn't have time to…
    • Chapter 43

      by Quinn Hawthorne The place was small, but I couldn’t stop staring at it, trying to drink in every detail. Our own quarters. It still didn’t feel real, not quite. The room had that scent of fresh paint and clean, empty surfaces, but soon it would be filled with warmth, memories… and, of course, our scents. The thought made my heart flutter. Silas walked past me, carrying a stack of soft linens that seemed to swallow his arms, and I couldn’t help but smile. I could see his muscles tense as he held the bundle, his…
    • Chapter 42

      by Quinn Hawthorne The sensation of Jin's knot releasing from within me was a subtle shift in pressure, a gentle withdrawal that left me feeling oddly empty, even as the warmth of his seed lingered between my thighs. He stirred beside me, the movement drawing a soft whimper of protest from my lips, a sound that was equal parts need and contentment. Jin shifted slightly, pressing a tender kiss to my forehead before he slipped out of our nest. I watched through heavy-lidded eyes as he moved across the room, his toned muscles…
    • Chapter 42

      by Quinn Hawthorne The door barely clicked shut before I felt Gideon’s glare boring into me. My pulse spiked, a mix of irritation and something sharper tightening in my chest. But I wasn’t backing down. “Seriously, Gideon?” I shot out, crossing my arms. “It was just a joke. Xiomara can handle it. She’s not exactly—” “Enough,” he cut me off, his voice low and harsh. He stepped closer, his jaw set, and something dark in his eyes sent a chill down my spine. “You think humiliating her, like that, was…
    • Chapter 41

      by Quinn Hawthorne As the minutes ticked by, a question that had been simmering in the back of my mind began to bubble to the surface, demanding to be heard. I shifted in Jin's embrace, turning to face him. His reading paused, and he glanced down at me, his gaze filled with quiet curiosity. The book lay forgotten in his lap as he closed it gently, his attention now fully on me. I swallowed hard, the words catching in my throat. "Why me, Jin?" I finally managed to ask, my voice barely above a whisper. "Why did you follow me…
