But her will is challenged within minutes of entering the academy when a she runs into a handsome stranger, Khai Heathcliff. A cosmic pull draws Khai and Anaya together, but scars from her past continue to haunt her, weaving themselves into her life at the academy. Despite her efforts to resist, his feelings for her remain unwavering. Will Khai’s love give her the strength to free herself from the shackles that confined her heart for so long? *** Anaya’s eyes narrowed when she saw that he didn’t believe her. “If you’re so good at reading me, what am I thinking right now?” She puffed her chest and folded her hands over them. Khai licked his lips, fighting his urge to kiss her as leaned towards her. She gasped softly, tilting back at his abrupt closeness. “Well, right now, I think you’re challenging me. Which means you’re curious about me. Tell me Anaya, are you curious about me?” *** This is a slow detailed book. Read until chapter 30 at least before you decide to drop it! Read my review so you know what to expect - or keep the suspense rolling and just start reading. I’ll love you either way :) *** This work is purely fictional. I don’t own the cover.

Chapter 84

The sudden thud jolted Ana awake, intensifying the dull ache hammering her skull with each echoing reverberation. She tried to open her eyes, finding solace in the large hand that rubbed her back. Blinking away the blurriness, she focused on the tense jaw hovering above her. But another thud rang out, sending a fresh wave of pain through her temples, and she groaned.

 

Rubbing her eyes, she tried to focus on Khai's concerned face. His large hand brushed her forehead as he kept his gaze fixed ahead. Ana followed his line of sight and staggered back as a werewolf pounced towards them. The monster's jaws opened wide, ready to strike, but something yanked it back, causing it to fall. Ana tried to calm her breathing, wondering if she was dreaming everything.

 

"It's okay! Ana, it's okay." He reassured her. But the strange tension in his voice did not escape her.
