Introduction

Minutes before the birthday party of the famous Selene Ashcroft in Saint College, her blood dries up, and she collapses dead on the ground, leaving the students gasping in horror.

No one knows the cause of her strange death, so some of them started spreading rumors that the person she hated the most in college was behind it.

Who? The scholarship girl, Lyra Vale.

Innocent Lyra, who got mostly bullied by the late Selene, tried to clear up her name by investigating on her own because she knew no one would believe her since she is seen as a curse and blamed for the death of the school’s golden girl.

She took matters into her own hands and started suspecting the three top hockey players that the late Selene usually hung out with. One midnight on her way to find answers, she discovers something far more terrifying moving within the academy walls.

She bravely followed it and saw the creature transform into the most respected but young figure in the college, Professor Malik Duskbane.

She escaped not to get caught, but things got scarier when the next morning, another student died the same horrifying way as Selene.

The two victims are coincidentally Lyra bullies, and she knew she would be blamed again, but this time, Lyra could only point to one person.

How can she convince anyone that the beloved professor everyone admires is a monster killer hiding in the dark?

Lyra must uncover the darkness behind Saint College before she becomes it's next secret.

Chapter 1

                 Lyra’s POV 

I gently sat on the dressing table set that my old roommate had left behind after refusing to stay in the same place as me anymore. 

It's just because of the rumor that was spreading around that I was a death magnet. 

They believe I am cursed because the first time I talked back to their favourite female star in the academy, she will soon regret the cruel way she has been treating me, and she died the next day.

In fact, that day was her birthday. 

Although I never wished for Selene's death, students here do not care about the fact that she used to bully, abuse, and assault me so much that it got to a point that I sat beside the school river and ate a poisonous plant to kill myself. Still, I don't know who saved me because I found myself in the clinic the next morning. 

The pain was too much for me because they destroyed my mental health, and I couldn't leave until I graduated, so I attempted suicide. 

Yes, the system of not being able to leave Nightshade Academy until graduation is like that because children here are referred to as outcasts in our magical world. 

Why? Because we can't summon our powers, which were supposed to develop in our bodies once we are twenty years old. 

I am now twenty-two, and still no progress. 

We are seen as not normal, who shouldn't live around others. Some people have died out of shame for not having it. 

So, this is a special and the only school for people to be able to awaken their divine gift.

It's filled with heavy teachings of spells and other magical courses, so if you are not from a rich background, you can't afford it. 

So I can say, this academy was founded for the children of the elite whose essence had never awakened, despite being born into powerful magical bloodlines. 

I am their first scholarship student here who isn't even from a powerful bloodline. 

In fact, I am an orphan who grew up in an orphanage, and the students are angry about it.

Sometimes, I do wonder why this school gave me a chance when they knew that they wouldn't be able to protect me from their nasty customers. 

I thought I was lucky. 

I regret the day I was happy about getting admitted here. 

I thought life outside, while getting mocked and insulted for being an outcast, was bad, but this place is hell. 

Imagine being hurt that a poor outcast exists among outcasts like you, too. 

I mean, we are suffering from the same problem, but they see me as more worthless than the dirt under their shoes. 

Thankfully, they have let me be since last week, after Selene’s horrific death on her birthday, but I am still determined to clear up my name. 

But at what cost? 

Last night, I tried to secretly investigate those whom Selene used to hang out with, they are the top three hockey players in the Academy. 

I was thinking that maybe I could find some hints about her disturbing death, but I saw the horror of my life. 

A dark, smoky creature was silently floating in the air. I swear I saw its glowing silver eyes even though it had no clear face, only a shadowy form that looked both human and monstrous. 

I stalked it even though I was trembling in fear, and it turned into the most admired professor in this crazy academy. 

I gulped down nervously, shaking my head to fling off the image of that creature.  

It has become my new nightmare. 

No way that isn't a demonic creature. 

I took my eye cream and pressed it out of its tube, then aggressively rubbed it just around the dark spot around my eyes. 

Ever since I rushed back into my room, I have not been able to sleep, and I have been feeling hot and sweaty at the same time. 

Right now, I feel like falling on the floor and crying till there are no tears left because all my bones feel so weak, but I have a class this morning that I must not miss. 

I hit my shivering hand on the dressing table, looking at my pale face through the mirror. 

I regret going out last night. 

“That is it. I will not blame myself for Selene’s death anymore, and I will not listen to anyone who says that about me. The way they see me will never change, even if I end up finding the real cause of her death. So, I will not investigate anything again. It's none of my business,” I dramatically dusted my hand, breathed out heavily, and walked to my tiny bed to carry my bag for the day’s class. 

I am planning to go to the grand dining hall to eat after the morning class because I am already late. 

I moved to the entrance of my room and rushed out of the massive hostel building, ignoring the hateful sneers from the girls driving their expensive cars out of the parking lot.

When I reached the towering male hostel compound walls in front, I breathed out tiredly because I still had to reach their main gate before I got to the academy's main premises.

A cold breeze suddenly swept past me, making me freeze, and then I remembered that this was the exact place where I had seen that terrifying creature.

My heart started beating fast, so I quickly turned around, expecting to see it lurking in the shadows, but I didn't see anything. 

Still, I broke into a run as if something was chasing me. My body was weak, but fear pushed me forward.

I didn't stop until I had passed the walls surrounding the male hostels and heard student voices. 

I bent over, resting my hands on my knees as I struggled to catch my breath.

As I forced myself to keep walking, I noticed groups of students, especially girls pouring out of the boys' hostel compound. 

More and more of them kept coming out with terrified expressions on their faces as if a calamity had struck the land. 

I wondered what was happening.

I woke up three years into a marriage I barely remembered—pregnant with twins that weren't my husband's.

Those words should have destroyed me, but the truth was worse: I'd been used as a broodmare by the man who swore to love me, set up in a hotel room with a stranger because My husband Alexander Cross couldn't father children himself, and now I carried the secret babies of Damon Lester—the most powerful and dangerous Alpha in San Loris—while my own family replaced me with the daughter they'd always wanted. But when that same stranger's doctor appeared at my door, when twenty million dollars exchanged hands over a fake perfume bearing my secret identity, and when Damon's gray eyes locked onto mine with recognition I couldn't afford, I realized my carefully hidden life as the legendary perfumer Vera was colliding with a pregnancy that could cost me everything.

Could I protect my babies from the husband plotting my death, hide my true identity from the Alpha who's been hunting me for years, and reclaim the freedom I'd buried along with my dreams—even if it means standing alone against the wolves who see me as nothing more than a womb to be used and discarded?

Everyone thought we were hockey’s most violent rivals, but they didn't know I’ve spent seven years obsessing over exactly how he would look when he finally broke for me.

Ethan Ryder was a disaster waiting to happen. Hot-headed, reckless, and constantly one bad decision away from ruining his career. I was supposed to hate him. Instead, I memorized him. I learned exactly how to push his buttons on the ice just to see the fire in his eyes.

When he grabbed my jersey in that locker room and kissed me in front of twenty cameras, it wasn't a mistake. It was the moment the line between hatred and obsession finally snapped. The media called it a scandal. They called us a divorced couple. But they didn't see the way Ethan trembled when I cornered him in the hallway afterward.

"You're staring again," he whispered, his back hitting the wall.
"You're still here," I replied calmly, stepping close enough to feel his erratic pulse.

He thought I was cold. He thought I was controlled. He didn't realize that every time he looked at me, I was fighting the urge to completely destroy the distance between us.

Now, the league is forcing us to live together, train together, and smile for the cameras to fix our public image. But the more time we spend alone in my apartment, the harder it is to pretend I just want to play hockey...

He grabbed my hair and dragged me downstairs. His grip on my hands and feet ached terribly. I sobbed and wept, silent tears streaming down my face. I was powerless to break free, my left hand clutching my broken right wrist.

He was a beast inhabiting this mansion, inflicting inhuman torture on my poor soul. He had created a living hell for me, this pitiful girl, within his castle.

On this cold winter night, he threw my wounded body into the icy pool, arrogantly enjoying it all, drinking and smoking expensive cigars. A satisfied, cold smile played on his lips as he reveled in my pain. His face was filled with the darkness of sin.

“How...more...am I…still…standing?” I stammered, my lips trembling.

Zain paused, thinking. Then, turning away from her, he replied:

“Until you die!”

With that, he left. As he wished. At that moment, my wish came true; I died.

But not in a frozen pool; I was struck in the head by a bullet from afar, blood splattering everywhere—that was far more gruesome.

My consciousness began to fade, but suddenly, I opened my eyes again and found myself mopping the floor in an ordinary restaurant.

I was startled: What happened? I was reborn? This is unbelievable!
