Zach’s POV“Zach, sweetie? Are you okay?” Emma, the girl that was pressed against the wall and peering up at me asked as she twirled her long brown curls around her perfectly manicured fingers. She batted her long lashes up at me and I realized I had completely zoned out.I stepped away from her, running my fingers through my hair in frustration. This was the second time I hadn’t been able to perform properly in front of another woman. Earlier I was humiliated in front of Stella who was expecting me to rock her world, but I couldn’t even get it up for her and sent her away early.
Xaden’s POVWhat the fuck is wrong with me? I shouldn’t be here, and I knew I shouldn’t be here. I should have just told Anila what was going on in my mind instead of acting so vague towards her. There was no doubt in my mind that she would know something was up. She was a smart girl, and I knew I would only push her away if I continued to act like this.But I couldn’t help myself.That dream I had of her was way too real for me to truly think about anything other than figuring out what it meant. All day, I had to live with the ghost of her l
Anila’s POVI was at an all-time high.I managed to trip Zach and pin him to the ground with my foot. Telling from the stunned look on his face and the slight redness around his nose when he looked up at me, it was clear he wasn’t expecting that.“I was caught off guard,” he muttered as I helped him to his feet. I arched my brow and gave him a look that only made him scowl. “Your arrogance won’t matter when it counts.”He shov
Anila’s POVI peeked around the corner to watch Damien intently, crinkling my nose at the fact that this was the second time I was peeping on him. His brown hair was tousled, and his glasses reflected the lights high above him as he smiled at the librarian.The old man grins widely, placing a hand on Damien’s shoulder as a warm gesture. I didn’t even know the librarian was capable of smiling after my interaction with him earlier.“I need to take a look at the restricted section, Alfred,” Damien said, using his name with
Anila POV“Are you serious?” I asked, sounding a little breathy.He gave me a curt nod, his face still showing indifference. He quickly closed his book that sat on the table before I could see what he was reading as I made my way to his table.“Yeah, I understand the want to learn about your parents,” he murmured, standing to his feet.I wondered what he meant by that, and I wanted to ask him, but I also didn’t want to be rude about it.

Damien’s POV“Damien? What are you doing here at this hour? It’s almost curfew,” Kendra said as I walked down the steps of this dorm section.“I was just making sure one of your students got back to her dorm,” I answered, not offering her any more explanation. “Afraid I can’t stay and chat. It was nice seeing you.”Before she could say anything more, I walked into the already-waiting elevator, pleased that my wand had read my mind and opened the doors for me without having me press any buttons. K
Anila’s POVMy alarm went off way too early, waking me from my sleep.Fuck, I’m exhausted.My muscles ached, and the drowsiness clinging to my head had me in a death grip. Yet even with these pains and aches, my body was thrumming. Humming delightedly as my heartbeat quickly, and butterflies fluttered in my stomach.I had another of those dreams.Vivid and sexy, sur
Zach POVWell, isn’t this a turn of events? When Principal Rapport forced me to retake this class, I was initially pissed. I had no idea this was one of Anila’s classes. Now I was going to be in two of her classes and as the cruel gods have it, Xaden is the teacher’s aide in this class.Seems he’s going to have a front-row seat.I shivered in delight, listening to the rambling of Professor Santina and watching as Anila scribbled notes
