I don’t care. I can’t care.

This is better for us both.

But… I just need to figure out how I’m going to kiss her and give her voice back.

Fuck you, Hades.

I drop onto the bed, wondering which place was attacked this time.

I close my eyes, and to my fucking annoyance, Heaven in her pink tiny nightdress enters my mind, and I growl in frustration.

Hades.

You bloody wanker.

The woman in my arms moans as I trail my lips down her neck, hand gliding over her stomach, reaching for the button on her pants. She tries to kiss me, but something about that just doesn’t seem appealing, not when there’s a kiss pending, and somehow, kissing someone else before I do what’s needed feels wrong…

“Fuck…” the woman who is in a year above me moans.

I snap open the button on her pants, my cock throbbing as I slip my hand into her pants, and then she stiffens.

“I-I can’t do this!” she gasps, jerking away, eyes wide. Her heart is hammering, and she’s looking at me like I just sprung a trap.

Right.

I don’t say a word. I’m kind of expecting it.

She bolts, leaving me alone in the locker room. I shake myhead as I reach for a cigarette from my back pocket and light it, glancing down at my hard-on.

There’s nothing about me that girls don’t dig.

Yeah, I know I’m pretty rough, but the girls I fuck don’t mind that. In fact, they love it.

I take a long drag on the cigarette, eyes narrowing. The fuck is going on?

I’ve tried to get laid three times before today, but each time, something happens. The first time, the girl got cold feet and, mumbling incoherently, grabbed her dress and ran.

The second time, the woman started shaking and then sobbing as she said, “It’s a bad mistake.”

The third, well, she pushed me away and told me she can’t do this, and when I asked what the fuck happened, she just shook her head and ran.

It’s been two weeks since we returned to the Academy. We never got to go back to the Blood Moon Pack after the last attack. We spent two days training with Dante and Ahren, but that was it. Then we had to come back here.

The air feels heavy, and the tension hangs above us like a storm cloud.

I’ve been avoiding Heaven a little more each day. And yet, somehow, we end up finding one another, but I’m pulling away slowly so she doesn’t notice. She’s smart, and she’s asked me a few times if I’m fine, to which I have always reassured her.

Whatever the fuck this is, it was not in my plans for the fucking future, and since my plan to get some pussy isn’tworking, I’m just getting even more fucking frustrated.

I walk into one of the stalls, slamming the door behind me. Great, now I have to handle this myself whilst trying not to jerk off to the thought of someone. I am not going down that fucking path.

An hour later,I’m in one of the lecture halls. We’re getting our first lesson with Kenneth Arden. Let’s see what he has to say. Fucking psycho… Yeah, I ain’t in a good fucking mood. I keep twirling my pen between my fingers, bored, as we wait for him to enter.

I haven’t seen him anywhere on campus, although he arrived last night. His hair is slicked back, his cold eyes scanning the room. Two guards are with him, and so is the Head Commander. I can sense the magic around him. So, he’s being suppressed…
