Valerie's twin brother puts their entire family in danger so, in order to save them all, Valerie steps up and takes her brother's place. She tries her best to survive the all-male Military Academy but it's not going to be easy. Especially when her cold-blooded roommate finds out she's actually a female! Things continue to spiral out of control as dark secrets and plans are slowly unraveled and she's somehow connected to them all. Can she keep it all together and still keep her family safe? EXCERPT: As I walk out of the room, Thane stands by the door with a knowing smirk. He slowly turns to look at me and says "You always do have a way with words. Who knew my little bird was so sharp?" I raise an eyebrow and smile as I say "I don't know if that's a compliment or an insult." Thane's smile turns dark as he suddenly pushes away from the wall and blocks my path. He looks down at me as he slowly leans forward and whispers "For you? It's nothing but compliments." I slightly tilt my head to the side as I feel my smile growing. I take a step closer to him and reach out to his stomach. My fingertips slip under his black shirt as I slowly look up to him with a dark smile of my own. When my fingertips lightly flutter across his smooth skin, I feel his entire body shudder as his jaw tightens. His eyes darken as he stares down at me and says "Keep that up and we won't be going anywhere today..." I softly chuckle and watch as his breathing changes at the sound. I slowly brush my fingers along his muscles as I slowly slip them to his back. I lean up to his lips but stop just a few centimeters away before whispering "You started it.." I say with a growing smirk. Thane's entire body tenses as desire consumes his dark eyes. His breathing becomes uneven as he stares into my eyes and says "I think it's about time you realize there are consequences for what you do to me..." My smile grows wicked as I lean in and slowly kiss him. As soon as he tries to deepen the kiss, I break away and look up to him as I say "I look forward to it..." I pull my hands out from under his shirt and pat his chest before slipping under his arm and walking past him with a devious giggle. Thane licks his lips with a wicked smile of his own, liking everything that little hellion does to him. He slowly stands to his full height with dark, knowing eyes. Yes, he was looking forward to it as well. Wanna talk? Find me on Discord! Blissfullrage#3336 Or https://www.instagram.com/blissfullrage/ ___________________________________ Would like to donate?

Bad Vibes

When I feel the air around me growing colder, I quickly stand up and walk out to the others. Troy was on the ground with a bloody lip and his hair sticking up in different directions as Thane stands over him and says "If you even look at him for longer than ten seconds, I will personally throw your ass to the Ragers."

My eyebrows shoot up to my hairline as I come to a stop behind Thane. I awkwardly clear my throat and say "It's not that serious. He was just looking for a pervert and even though selling my pictures while dressed as a chick was...well... a douche move... It's not like he was trying to hurt me, right?"

I give Troy a pointed look that has him blinking in surprise. He suddenly starts nodding his head as he says "It's true! I won't touch any of his stuff anymore and you already took all the pictures! I don't have anything else, I swear! You can all search my stuff."

Thane's eyes narrow on him before he says "He may be nice enough to let this go but I'm not. Give me a reason to throw you out, please." After glaring at Troy, Thane starts to walk back into the base but I quickly reach out and grab his arm.

He comes to a stop and looks to me with a frown before I give him a look and slightly shake my head. I quickly slap an awkward smile onto my face as I turn to the others and say "Let's all stay out here for a minute and stretch! Fresh air will do all of us some good, right?"

I turn and look back up to Thane with that same awkward smile plastered on my face, instantly causing Thane's eyes to sharpen. He doesn't look towards the base at all. He just turns back to the others and says "Fresh air sounds like a good idea."

Titus's face crumples up in confusion and goes to walk back in but when Thane makes eye contact, he pauses. Thane lifts his arms to "stretch" but he secretly sends a few hand signals to Titus causing the old man's eyes to harden.

He slowly lifts his head and says "Fresh air... yup. Everyone is to breathe in this air before heading back in for the night." Conner starts taking deep breaths as Cruz narrows his eyes on Thane but does the same.

Troy's confusion doesn't ease as he slowly stands up and starts taking deep breaths. I try not to laugh at the idiot as Thane steps closer to me and says "That's not how to properly stretch. Let me show you or you'll end up hurting yourself."

Thane steps up behind me, causing the monkey to jump down and fuss. Thane glances at the monkey before sliding his arms over mine from behind. I stiffen as Thane leans down to my ear and whispers "What is it?"

I swallow hard and try to ignore the way his voice sounds next to my ear before softly saying "Someone or something's in there. I think it has the ability to camouflage itself." Thane's jaw clenches as he says "Stay here with the others."

As he goes to step back, I quickly grab his arms and say "Don't! You don't have a weapon on you and there's no way to tell what this thing is capable of." Thane flicks my forehead before smirking at me and saying "Keep stretching. I need to grab a few things and I'll be right back."

My heart races as he gives Titus a look and walks back to the base. Titus clears his throat and yells "What are you doing boy! Wasn't this your idea? Stretch!" I bite my lip and start doing some light stretches as the little monkey chases a butterfly around the bushes.

Everyone knows something's wrong but no one says a word as we all stretch like idiots. I keep glancing towards the base as I say "Maybe I should go help him. I am thirsty..." Titus looks like he wants to say no but I can see the concern in his eyes.

I nod to him and quickly glance back to the monkey. He was still trying to catch the butterfly so I turn around and start heading back to the base but when I hear something, I turn back around and find all of them on the ground!

As soon as I open my mouth to cry out, my world goes dark.

THANE

After grabbing a pair of heat signature glasses, he quickly grabs his gun and slips a blade onto his thigh holster. He carefully and quickly starts clearing the base but when he doesn't see anyone or anything, he frowns with confusion.

Suddenly, he gets a bad feeling... He quickly runs back to the door and what he finds has his heart nearly stopping. Everyone's here except for Valerie! He quickly runs over and feels for a pulse on Titus but when he feels one, he releases a breath of relief before looking for any signs of the intruder.

The monkey! He quickly starts searching for the little thing but it too can't be found. Thane grits his teeth and quickly runs to the border of the base but when he still doesn't see anything or anyone, he curses and feels like breaking something.

When he hears voices, he quickly runs back over to see the others slowly waking up and asking "What the hell happened?" Thane's anger builds until the air around them starts to grow colder and colder. When the others notice, they all turn to him with confusion and ask "What happened?"

Thane struggles to control his emotions as he grits out "Someone took Valen..." The others only realize now that Valen is missing. Titus curses and struggles to stand with his bad leg as he asks "Did you see who they were or where they went?"

Thane glares at the old man and says "If I had... I wouldn't be standing here."
