AT THE EDGE OF THE DARK
451 Views · Ongoing · kierasky09
I have spent my whole life being the girl who counts exits.
New room — find the doors first. New crowd — map the faces before I feel them. New school — arrive knowing exactly how to disappear.
Aurelian Academy was supposed to be the same.
Get in. Stay invisible. Protect the prince my brother trusts me with. Come home. Nobody needed to know about the dark magic I've been hiding since I was old enough to understand what it does to people who find out.
Simple enough.
Until Roman Creed smiled at me across a rink at midnight and something inside me stopped being quiet.
Until Klaus — his half-brother, the one who says what everyone else is only thinking — sat across from me in a library and said, "Explain this." like he already knew I could. Like he'd already decided something about me before I'd opened my mouth.
Two boys. Two bonds I never asked for. One truth buried so deep in my family's history that finding it will change everything I thought I knew about why I'm really here.
Because the most powerful alpha alive owes my family a debt he has never paid. And Roman Creed knows exactly what that debt is.
My magic is waking up. My wolf is finally stirring. And the boy I was sent here to protect is hiding something that would break me — if I let it.
I came to this academy to stay invisible.
But some secrets, once they start surfacing, don't stop.
And neither do I.
So I have to ask — does he know who I am?
Or am I already too late?
