“Do you have a question you’d like answered?” I asked, kind of half hoping he did so I didn’t have to guess the topic, while the other half of me hoped he didn’t so I didn’t get an impossible question to completely bullshit. His eyes zeroed in on me, and he was quick to put his face back behind his professional mask, giving me a small smile, and shaking his head. “No, please do any kind of reading you find appropriate.” I smiled back at him and gave a single nod. I took another deep…

Pulling my hair up in a high ponytail, I couldn’t help but marvel at how beautiful of a day it already was. The day couldn’t have been better for running with Samwise and returning to work on new products. I tied my latest target to the table in the basement, ready to bleed them, and the sun shone with a cool breeze that took off the edge of the heat. I slipped on my shoes and grabbed Samwise’s leash. The second the leash’s metal rattled, his head snapped from his lying position on the ground,…

The first rays of morning light crept across the room, brushing over the curtains and casting a warm, muted glow across the space. I moved quietly, careful not to disturb the stillness of our quarters as I arranged the last of the breakfast on the small table in the kitchenette. The pastries were warm, the eggs perfectly cooked, and the tea steeped just right. It was simple, but it was hers, ours, something that made this space feel like a home amidst the chaos outside. I glanced back toward the nest,…

“So you won’t take me with you out hunting?” Vanessa inquired, her face etched with disappointment. “I’m sorry, love,” I responded, attempting to mitigate her distress. “It’s not like I don’t want to; it’s just that it’s illegal the way I do it, and I don’t want to risk you getting caught up in it.” Vanessa’s face contorted into a pout, but she still nodded in understanding. “Okay.” She sighed. “Can you at least tell me about it? Like, what do you do?” “Well,…

The darkness swallowed me whole, pressing against me like a second skin, suffocating and alive. The shadows, restless and eager, coiled and slithered around me, whispering in that twisted, hissed voice that seemed to come from everywhere and nowhere all at once. "Your truth... face it... or be consumed." The words cut through me, a shiver racing down my spine as the scene around me shifted. The cold, dark emptiness shattered, replaced by a dimly lit room that felt familiar and foreign at the same time.…

The crinkle of the black tissue paper was the only sound in the room as I folded the lip gloss and neutral eyeshadow palette, careful not to let my shaking hands tear the paper. I was about to put the customer’s address on the bubble wrap envelope when my phone buzzed, alerting me to a new text from Orpheus. He wanted to meet me at the back door, and I couldn’t help but wonder what he wanted. I walked through my house, my footsteps muffled by the plush carpet, and opened the back door, letting in a…

The sun had already climbed high, casting a warm golden hue over the world as Xavier and I finally hit the trail. The air was fresh, a vivacious symphony of pine and earth that filled my lungs with each breath. I had always found solace in the wild, a sanctuary where the chaos of life seemed to fade into the background, replaced by the simple rhythm of nature. Xavier walked beside me, his strides confident and sure as we navigated the winding path. The trail was a familiar one, etched into my memory from…

Nick closed the door behind him, and I wrung my hands because I couldn’t contain my energy. I grabbed my arm in irritation. He doesn’t face me right away; instead, he stares at the closed door. A pregnant moment birthed the worst moment of my life. “I can’t do this anymore.” He can’t do this anymore? I knew this moment was coming. It was the last few weeks before the end of the year. We had discussed this day since the beginning but I thought I had time. I thought we had time. I swallowed…

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…

The hallway buzzed with life as students darted from class to class, their voices blending into a chaotic symphony. I kept my gaze forward, forcing my feet to move at an even pace, but the prickling sensation of eyes on my back made my skin crawl. The rumors, the whispers—they followed me like a shadow I couldn’t shake. “Look who it is,” Violet’s voice cut through the noise, sharp and biting. “The Omega who thinks she’s untouchable just because Silas looks at her like she hung the…
