Tears never did anyone any favours, but sometimes they just needed to fall.

But until that day, you're mine, Blue.

Why are the hot ones always jerks?

He was dangerous in all the right ways and I knew without doubt that the fire in his eyes would burn me up if I strayed too close.

Where I’m from I found out the hard way that this life will throw all kinds of crap at you, but the one thing you don’t have to accept is other people’s bullshit.

My deepest fear is being cast aside, my heart crushed by trusting blindly again. So I’ll never let anyone in again.

I know,” he said, his eyes glittering. “But until that day, you're mine, Blue.

Remember the A.S.S love you!” she cried and several people who heard her started laughing. Really? That was the name she went with? The ass club?

Okay this is going from weird to mental asylum real fast.

Ignore the dimples, Tory, he’s an award winning dickasaurus.

And I’m a Taurus; when we set our minds on something it’s not easy to turn us from it.

That night I sat in bed just staring at that bruise, wondering how a physical wound could look so bright and angry but emotional wounds stayed entirely invisible. I wanted my hurt branded on me, to remind me never to trust anyone again.

And why am I even turned on by Lord Voldemort’s hotter, younger cousin?

He lifted his head with a demonic smile. “Welcome to your Awakening.

One day, Professor, I'm going to be strong enough to fight you off.” He took a measured breath and I felt like he was sucking something vital out of my body that I wasn’t sure I’d ever get back. “I know,” he said, his eyes glittering. “But until that day, you're mine, Blue.

These people might all be crazy but they sure do know how to make school interesting,

Tory had been my name throughout everything that had shaped me into the person I was today and I had no interest in shedding that persona now or in the future.

This Life will throw all kinds of crap at you, but the one thing you don't have to accept is other people's bullshit

Tears prickled the backs of my eyes but I bitch-slapped them down hard.

What’s the worst that can happen in a library anyway? Tell that to the guy who was killed by Colonel Mustard with the candlestick.

Asses,” I breathed in horror. “They’re a group of asses and they don’t seem to realise it.

You seemed just as into it as me.” “That’s because we thought we were stroking a wild animal not getting molested by some horse-faced weirdo,” I snarled.

I’m sure as shit not going to start going by Roxanya,

You really don’t know anything do you?” he asked. “This is how my kind regenerate our power; from gold.

You've met your match, Mr Window.

Don't bite me.

I'm not shy, you're just so far beyond my personal boundaries right now I can't even see them anymore.

What drug are you on exactly? Judging by the fancy attire I'm gonna guess coke?

Earth to Darcy, please tell me you're not interested in that perro?” I didn't answer. Partly because I didn't know what perro meant,

Do you think he's actually interested in you? He was drunk and grabbed the nearest thing with a pulse.” “Well if that's Darius's standard now I understand why he's with you,” Tory said airily and I couldn't help but exhale a laugh.

Oh no wait, I’d rather put my cock in a blender. (Orion POV)

This is no joke. You know you can't date teachers right? Them's the rules. And I'd appreciate if you didn't mouth-hump his name in front of me.

Yeah and he knows it." The girl beside her smothered a laugh. "He does know it, because he has Vampire hearing.

Blue means you…holy shit,” he muttered under his breath.

The past is gone. The are no more paths for you there.

And I was using that as an excuse to watch Darcy Vega as much as I could get away with. It was like feeding a secret drug habit that no one could ever find out about.

I released a breath I hadn't realised I'd been holding.

One taste of her and I'd be addicted. And I couldn't afford that no matter how tempting a sin she might have been.

Note to all students: Vampire bites, loss of limbs or getting lost in the wailing wood will not count as a valid excuse for being late to class.

He chuckled darkly and the sound made my toes curl and

You’re stupidly strong,” I grumbled

She's my Source. Touch her again and you're dead. Professor or not.

Why'd you come back?” I choked out, tugging my palm free and wrapping my hands around my head again. “My spidey senses were tingling,” he said, chuckling and I glanced up at him, my brow creasing.

Do you want me and my sister dead?” I pinned him with my hardest, most unwavering stare. For Tory. For me. I had to hear his answer, even if it was a lie. His eyes softened, running over my face with the faintest of frowns. “No, Blue. I don't.

Good morning Gemini! The stars have spoken about your day.

Spending the evening overseeing the school dance was right up there with killing myself on my list of enjoyable things to do tonight.

Whatever you think you know, you will soon learn there is much more that you don't

Arghhhh,” she groaned as she arrived, resting her hands on her knees. “I feel like death. But like if death was a puddle of shit.

There was no point in me trying to fight him off despite how much I wanted to,

And screwing him didn't bring out the wolf in you either?

Be wary of those close to you. Even the friendliest of dogs can bite.

I was powerless to stop my traitorous body from shifting against his, especially when his fingertips skimmed along my bare shoulder.

Holy shit on a starfish.

Holy fucking shit on a cornflake.

Leaving the mortal world behind was just fine by me. It had never seemed to care for me much anyway. And the feeling was mutual.

My magic rose to my fingertips and I grinned as I realised I’d summoned water. Of course I had, what better way to punish a fire-hungry masochist than by giving him an ice cold shower?

His black hair was dishevelled in an I-just-rolled-out-of-bed way that should have made him look like shit like it did for the rest of the population but instead made him look hot as hell.

Max Rigel,” (the dark skinned demi-god). “Caleb Altair,” (the blonde haired beaux next door), “Darius Acrux,” (my sin-filled fantasy). “And Seth Capella,” (the long haired lothario). “This is Gwendalina and Roxanya Vega-

I made a mistake and now my time is up. The Shadow has discovered me and there is no hope for me to escape their wrath. The answers you seek are hidden between Leo and Libra. Don’t trust the flames. Claim your throne. - Falling Star

I didn’t want his throne or his kingdom, but I did want something else from him. I wanted his respect. And with that knowledge I knew I’d never bow to him. So, if he was determined to see me fall, he was going to have to try and make me break.

Though as that thought passed through my mind, I realised I actually missed her incessant morning chatter and whistling. Well, maybe not the whistling. But I definitely missed the mug of coffee she always offered to tempt me from my pit. The jingling

The most important thing I’d learned in life? You can’t trust people. And you especially can’t trust boys with wicked smiles and equally wicked intentions. He'd already gone too far. Ridiculed me, made my first week at Zodiac as difficult as possible. So what more evidence did I need to stay the hell away from him?

I lifted my chin, and the air became thick between us. “One day, Professor, I'm going to be strong enough to fight you off.” He took a measured breath and I felt like he was sucking something vital out of my body that I wasn’t sure I’d ever get back. “I know,” he said, his eyes glittering. “But until that day, you're mine, Blue.

accompanied by a lick of adrenaline. I half expected to wake up tomorrow and find that all of this was a dream. Despite the fear the Heirs had struck in me, this place called to me. It was beautiful and a deep vibration in my soul told me I belonged here. Like the stars themselves had been waiting for me to arrive at this very spot.

Just like you don’t know the first thing about me,” I replied. “I’ve met much meaner bastards than the four of you before and come out swinging. And I’ve learned a thing or two about the way basic bastards like you operate; you’re not very original. And you don’t frighten me,” I said, my tone miraculously level despite my thundering heartbeat.

If only real life bullies could be hot, brooding men with dark back stories who worked through their inner demons for the sake of true love.

So are you Order of pirate then? Do you transform into a one legged man with an eyepatch, a hankering for rum and a pet parrot?

Fuck, if her hate makes me this savage, one drop of her love would corrupt me to my core.

Roxy Vega might just have been right about becoming my new obsession, because I had never found anyone who could light me up the way she did with a glare and a hostile comment.

Darius Acrux,” (my sin-filled fantasy).

and I caught strange words like 'Celestial Heirs' and 'Vega Twins'.

You're Changelings. Fae born. Elementals with natural magic flowing in your veins. Your real parents swapped you for the twins born to that couple.

Come in,” I said sweetly. What the fuck? I wasn’t sweet, especially with strangers. Especially, especially with stalker strangers.

He caught my hand, and the warmth of his skin surprised me almost as much as the fact that his touch was gentle.

Note to self, no more emotional donations to Siren Dickwad.

I’d sooner trust a monkey with a bunch of bananas than believe anything good of him.

Trust me to get on the wrong side of an overgrown, entitled prick within half an hour of arriving,

I shrugged, not giving one damn about taking power from her bae.

Must be the full moon bringing out the pushy weirdos again.

Tears never did anyone any favors, but sometimes they just needed to fall.

So I dyed my hair the colour of that bruise. Black and blue. My own personal wound.

You will reply with ‘yes Alpha’.

Don’t worry, Marguerite,” I said soothingly. “It’s not your fault that he needs them to get his motor going. I’m sure your hairy bush does it for him once you start bouncing about on his lap.

My traitorous heart fluttered at the contact and I tried to stop my eyes from trailing over the strong line of his jaw and the set of his mouth but failed miserably. He was just too damn good to look at.

Of course, if you’d rather just come on up to my room, I can give you a real welcome to the House of Fire,” he suggested as his gaze slid over every exposed inch of my flesh and embarrassment prickled up my spine.

We didn’t finish our chat,” a deep voice came from behind me, and I cursed in surprise as I whirled back to face the street. There, standing beneath the flickering streetlight was none other than Mr Expensive himself.

He reached out, brushing his fingers through my hair, coiling a handful around his fingers. “Why do you keep touching me like that?” I jerked aside, my upper lip peeling back. He released a gruff noise in his throat. “Because I'm an Alpha, babe. And this is how I show you who's in charge. You need to forget about rising against me, because you won't win.” He tightened his grip on my hair and I ground my teeth, refusing to let out a yelp of pain.

Er- excuse me?” Tory cut in. Her jaw was gritted as if she wished she could have shouted those words. “We're not going anywhere with some creep from the lobby. What drug are you on exactly? Judging by the fancy attire I'm gonna guess coke?

Maybe you should have picked an easier House to join,” he warned. “I don’t get the feeling you’re cut out for the trials of this one.” “Well, you made it in,” I pointed out. “So it can’t be that hard.” Before he could respond, I sidestepped him and headed into the mouth of the cave.

I'd always thought we'd been orphaned, but now it was almost worse to know our parents had chosen to get rid of us. Orion had thought we'd been in danger, but from what? And if that were true, why swap us for some random human children and put them in danger instead? It was beyond cruel.

I shoved the cash into the back pocket of my pants, scooped up Pete's toothbrush and dunked it in the toilet bowl. A thump sounded on the other side of the door, but I was already halfway through the window and Pete's toothbrush was back in its holder. Totally worth the five seconds it had cost me.

they do that?” I demanded. “My guess? You were in danger,” he said with a shrug. “Or maybe you just annoyed them as much as you're annoying me right now and they decided to swap you for less irritating twins.” Tory looked like she was about to punch him, and I wouldn't have stopped her in the slightest.

pyjamas with an expression that said he was wholly amused. “What are you staring at?” I demanded, but heat slammed into my cheeks beneath my defensive facade. “I thought I was coming here to collect a couple of eighteen-year-olds. Must have gotten the wrong apartment, little bunny.” He laughed at his own joke, and I cocked my head, fury bubbling up inside me.

Darius released a breath of laughter and for half a second it was as though we didn’t harbour eternal hatred for one another. He leaned close to me again and I had to work hard on maintaining eye contact as his naked god-like body shifted so close that I could hardly breathe. “If you come to my room uninvited again then it had better be because you’re ready to bow to us or to beg me to bend you over that headboard and make you scream my name,” he purred

I stepped back suddenly, snapping the band of energy that had seemed to be drawing me closer to her as I unbuckled my belt and unbuttoned my fly. “What are you doing?” she gasped, staring at me as I dropped my jeans, knocking my boxers off with them and letting her get a good eyeful of the full length of my cock. Her gaze stayed glued on it and blood began to rush that way at the feeling of her attention, like that part of me still hadn't agreed to my decision to have nothing more to do with her beyond making sure she left this place. I gritted my teeth as my dick continued to get all kinds of ideas about the things it could do with her if I just made her bow for me now and I tried not to let my gaze linger on her mouth while I considered how much I'd like to fuck it. “When you stop eye-fucking me I’ll show you what you’re so desperate to know,” I mocked, forcing her attention back up to my face and earning myself a scowl. “People don’t tend to whip their junk out in the middle of a conversation,” she snapped like she was pissed at me for it. “So if you didn’t want me catching an eyeful of little Darius then you shouldn’t have brought him into our discussion.” I released a breath of laughter before I could help myself, my mind and dick wandering down all kinds of out of bounds roads as I gave myself two seconds to consider whether or not I could convince her to bow for me after all. I leaned closer to her as she scowled back, but her breaths were speeding up and her pupils were wide with what I could have sworn was desire of her own. I wanted that. I wanted it more than I could say and it was so fucking tempting to just step forward, catch her by the back of the neck and kiss her roughly until she gave in and bowed to me the way I ached for her to. I could see it in her eyes. The temptation despite the hatred and I wanted to hate fuck her so much that I almost took that final step. But as my own pulse thundered like a war drum in my ears, I knew it wouldn't be so simple. One taste of her and I'd be addicted. And I couldn't afford that no matter how tempting a sin she might have been. “If you come to my room uninvited again then it had better be because you’re ready to bow to us or to beg me to bend you over that headboard and make you scream my name,” I said with all the confidence I felt in knowing that she was getting as wet for me as I was getting hard for her. She pressed herself back against my door, her thighs clenching together like she was trying to fight her reaction, but I felt it humming in the air between us no matter how deeply she scowled. (Darius POV)

My lips parted to say something, but I forgot what it had been as my gaze fell on the girl who had just stepped into the room. My thumping pulse picked up speed for a wholly different reason as I drank her in. Long, black hair tumbled down her spine, her green eyes turned up towards the curving roof as she drank in the sight of the building she was in. Her lips were full and primed for tasting, but the set of her mouth said she was more used to frowning than smiling. She was without a doubt, the most stunning creature I'd ever laid my eyes upon and I couldn't help but stare at her as she moved deeper into the room with the other students. I felt a silencing bubble closing around me as one of the others tossed it up to allow us to speak freely, but I didn't look away from her. My gaze was riveted to her as I drank in every small movement of her body and each expression crossing her face. I didn't give a fuck about the Vegas showing up tonight anymore. I just wanted to know that girl a whole lot better than I did. "Holy fuck," Caleb murmured beside me and a deep growl rolled through my chest as I got the impression his gaze was fixed where mine was. "Mine," I snarled, the beast in me waking up and my eyes shifting into reptilian slits as if my Dragon was aching for a look at her too. Every muscle in my body tensed and I was filled with the insane urge to get out of my seat and stride straight up to that girl and claim her in front of every fucker here. I didn't even know her name. I didn't know what Order she was or how powerful she was or any of the things like that which should have mattered to me. But I didn't care. Because the only thing about her that mattered in that moment was that I was laying my claim. The Dragon in me demanded it. "Well shit, I didn't consider the fact that they might be hot," Seth cursed and I frowned a little at his words, trying to piece them together. "That'll make things more interesting," Max agreed. "I wanna know how good they taste," Caleb said with a barely stifled groan. I didn't want to listen to any of them, but their words kept pushing in on me while I continued to stare at my mystery girl. ... The second girl looked strikingly like her sister, though for some reason I felt like I'd know which was which in the dark. I wasn't sure what it was. But despite their equally attractive looks, my attention was pulled back towards the first girl like the stars wanted it to be on her. Nova kept prattling on to the twins while my brothers all hissed plans back and forth between each other. Our parents had been more than clear on this. The Vega twins needed to go. We were expected to make sure that happened. That was all that mattered. My dick's interest in getting to know one of them a whole lot more intimately had no bearing on anything. (Darius POV)

Sadly not. I can only feel the depth of your power, the strength of it. And you’re strong. Once you learn to harness it, I have the feeling that I won’t be able to take an ounce of it from you without permission.” My mouth slipped into a smile and her gaze dropped to trace the movement, making my dick get all kinds of hopeful ideas. “Can you just get this over with? I have a lot of studying to do.” She tilted her chin in the angriest offering I'd ever seen but that wasn't going to cut it today.What would it even take for her to want me to bite her? I'd have given a whole lot to hear her beg me for it that was for sure. “Don’t you want to hear my proposition, Tory?” I asked in a seductive tone as I shifted closer to her, wanting to feel the heat of her body against mine. “I can’t imagine anything that you could offer me to make me a willing participant in your dinner schedule,” she deadpanned. “There may be one thing,” I said, teasing her, tempting her. Her eyes lit angrily and I could tell she was about to start cursing me or something equally aggressive, so I took a final step forward, caught her chin between my fingers and pressed my mouth to hers. Tory sucked in a breath of surprise and I slid my tongue between the opening in her lips, kissing her roughly and dominating her mouth in a demand for her to give in to me. She raised her hands to my chest, palms flat against my pecs and for a moment I was sure she was going to shove me back with either her strength or her magic. But then the moment passed and instead of fighting, she surrendered, her hands caressing instead of pushing me away, tongue moving with mine and lips devouring. And she tasted so fucking sweet. I groaned deep in the back of my throat as I dropped my hands to her waist and walked her backwards until her ass hit the desk there. I lifted her up easily, parting her thighs as I stepped between them and my cock throbbed as I drove it against her panties, stealing a little friction and loving the way she arched into the movement like she was aching for more of me. Her hands banded around my neck and she pulled me closer, kissing me hard and heatedly as her hips flexed and she ground herself against my solid cock I moved my hand to her knee, tracing a line along the top of her long socks with my thumb before shifting it up her silken skin. Tory kissed me harder, her fingers pushing through my hair as she moaned between brushes of our tongues as I kept moving my hand higher, half expecting her to stop me while my heart thundered harder for every second where she didn't. I pushed my fingers beneath her skirt and she moaned again, her other leg hooking around my ass and dragging me nearer in a demand I was more than willing to give in to. I grinned against her lips, loving how quickly she'd fallen to my desire, but the moment I did, she sucked my bottom lip between her teeth and bit down hard to remind me of exactly what kind of animal she was. I jerked back before she could spill my blood, laughing at the fire in her and pausing with my hand almost grazing her panties and the temptation of what lay beneath them. “Why?” she asked breathlessly, suspicion colouring her green eyes and making me want to offer her the truth. “You can just take what you want from me. So why kiss me?” (Caleb pov)

Fuck, she was even hotter when she was furious. I seriously wouldn't have minded her taking that anger out on my body all night long. I'd be more than happy to angry fuck her until her body bent and bowed and finally gave in to the power play between us. I'd force her beneath me physically as well as with my power and maybe she'd find she liked it there just fine. Or maybe she'd stab me to death and cut my cock off for good measure because the look she was aiming my way said that was a whole lot more likely than me getting to spend the night ruining her. But it was a damn nice fantasy to indulge in for a few moments. ... She gave me a look of utter contempt and it made my cock throb as her nearness just compounded the desire I was already feeling for her and made me get all kinds of insane ideas about what I'd like to do with this little princess if I got her to myself for long enough. She made no attempt to cover herself, no sign of shame in her frosty features as she stalked forward to claim her key, a sneer touching those edible lips of hers. Her jaw was tight with rage which she was doing nothing to hide and as she reached out to snatch the key from my hand, I couldn't help but ache to bring her closer, draw her nearer, see just how far she'd go in this denial of my power over her. Her fingers curled around the brass key, but I didn't release it, instead using my hold on it to tug her a step closer so that only a breath of space divided our bodies. I looked down at her from my imposing height, dominating her space with the bulk of my body and making sure she took in every last inch of height I had over her. “Of course, if you’d rather just come on up to my room, I can give you a real welcome to the House of Fire,” I suggested my gaze dropping down to her body, the noticeable bulge in my pants making it clear enough how much I meant that offer. I probably shouldn't have been making it at all, but the beast in me couldn't help myself. Dragons saw something they wanted and they took it. And I hadn't seen something I wanted as much as this girl in as long as I could remember. Our gazes collided and the heat there was almost strong enough to burn, the tension between us crackling so loudly I was surprised the whole room couldn't hear it. But then her gaze shuttered and her lips pursed, her eyes dropping down to take me in, my skin buzzing everywhere they landed as I could feel the want in her while she assessed me. But as those deep green eyes met mine again and I gave her a knowing smirk, I couldn't tell what she was thinking. I didn't know if she was going to bow to this heat between us or just stoke the flames, and the fact that I didn't know had my heart thumping in anticipation deep in my chest. She shifted an inch closer to me, tilting her mouth towards my ear and making my flesh spark with the need to take her, own her, destroy her in all the best ways. But just as my cock began to get overexcited at the prospect of all the ways I could make her scream for me given enough time, she spoke and it wasn't in the sultry purr I'd been expecting, her voice coming out loud enough for everyone to hear instead. “I wouldn’t come near you even if someone held a knife to my heart and told me that the world would end if I didn’t,” she snarled, snatching the key out of my hand as my surprise at her words made me forget to keep my grip tight enough to keep it. “So why don’t you take a long, hard look while you can. Because I can promise you, you won’t be seeing this again.”(Darius POV)
