I start to walk away, ignoring her curse-filled shrieks behind me. Turning my back on her turns out to be a small mistake, since she finally manages to lurch up to a semi-sitting position. Just as I glance over my shoulder, she flops one of her arms towards me, crying out from the pain of…

They assume we’ll work as a team. They see me as the weak one here, so it’s easy to deduce that Silas is right. I’ll probably get more real combat than I usually do in this class because instead of ignoring me, people are going to actively try to kill me. That puts a small…

She steps out around me, making her way down the hall, but I keep up easily. “ Pass? Where else would you stay so late?” “Kenzie offered a spare room in her apartment.” My keeper staying with another quintet? I don’t care how much she trusts her shifter friend. The others might slit her throat…

I was not prepared for dirty talk first thing in the morning. My pulse is pounding, and against everything I know I should say or do to push away Baelfire—because he is absolutely overstepping with this question—I dare to look up into the scorching intensity of his full, hungry focus. He’s leaning down, so our…

Quite the topic change. “Maven is an atypical caster,” I explain, having read her sparse file of student records earlier. “She manifested magic from a fully human bloodline less than a month ago.” Everett’s pale gaze flickers to me. “You’re saying Maven came from a human family?” “Yes.

He blinks rapidly before understanding crosses his features. “You want to make them jealous.” “Yes.” “Because you want them to want you even more.” An unfeminine snort escapes me before I can stop it. I clear my throat and compose myself again. “Sure. Why not?” Professor Frost glances over his shoulder to the table where…

He scowls but turns back to Maven’s door, calling through it. “Boo? My dragon is seriously about to break this damn door down to see if you’re here or not. This is your last warning. Speak now or forever hold your peace.” Wait. Does he not know whether she’s here? Is our keeper missing? I…

I take a deep breath and try to relax my gloved hands, which I realize clenched up without my notice. There. If this situation were a chess game, I’ve just sent three pawns to stir up trouble with the quintet. That should do some damage. For a moment, I consider how each of my so-called…

“—and so I made a list of pros and cons for all of my quintet’s emphasis options. I mean, I would love to do something like covert operations or even the holy guard just because it would keep us away from the Divide, but we’d still be decently ranked in those careers—but I know Dirk…
