theresachipps · Ongoing · 100.2k Words
Introduction
For Arabella and her brothers, attending Kingsveil should be the opportunity of a lifetime. With only three months remaining until their eighteenth birthdays, they are expected to learn control, leadership, and how to harness the powerful abilities waiting to awaken inside them.
But something is wrong.
The curse that has haunted their bloodline since birth isn’t supposed to activate until they turn eighteen. Instead, it begins awakening early, bringing mysterious symptoms that grow stronger with each passing day.
As Arabella navigates academy life, forms unexpected friendships, and clashes with the infuriatingly arrogant Dragon Prince, Zarek, she quickly discovers that Kingsveil holds far more secrets than anyone realizes. Beneath the academy’s prestigious reputation lie hidden dangers, ancient rivalries, and truths powerful enough to change the future of the supernatural world forever.
With time running out and the curse tightening its grip, Arabella and her brothers must uncover the truth before it’s too late.
Because some destinies are written in blood. And some curses were never meant to be broken.
Chapter 1
Arabella’s POV
6:00 a.m. and I was already awake. Actually, that wasn’t entirely true. I’d been awake most of the night.
Every hour, I’d opened my eyes and checked the clock sitting on the nightstand beside my bed. At some point, I’d given up pretending sleep was going to happen and simply stared at the ceiling, waiting for morning to arrive.
Today was the day. The day my brothers and I left for Kingsveil Academy. A nervous laugh escaped me as I pushed the blankets aside and swung my legs over the edge of the bed.
For as long as I could remember, Kingsveil had been the goal. Every powerful heir attended the academy before stepping into adulthood. Future rulers, future leaders, heirs from every major supernatural bloodline all ended up there eventually.
I’d spent years imagining what it would be like. Now that the day had finally arrived, my stomach was all tangled in knots.
Excitement battled nerves. Anticipation wrestled with uncertainty. And somewhere beneath all of that was a small amount of fear I refused to acknowledge.
By the time I finished getting ready, I’d managed to convince myself I wasn’t completely losing my mind. The illusion lasted until I put on my uniform.
I stopped in front of the mirror and stared. Okay. I loved it. The dark navy skirt fit perfectly while the fitted blazer looked far more impressive than anything hanging in my closet. Silver embroidery decorated the cuffs and collar while the academy crest sat proudly over my heart.
I smoothed my hands down the fabric before turning once. Then again. A third turn followed immediately after. The uniform was cute. There was no point pretending otherwise. A grin spread across my face as I adjusted the blazer one final time.
Kingsveil suddenly felt real. The reality hit me all of a sudden. I’m going there. Today.
My fingers brushed the embroidered crest before I finally forced myself toward the door. The moment I stepped into the family sitting room, I regretted everything. Complete chaos greeted me.
Kieran, Dominic, and Xavier stood in the center of the room arguing loudly enough to wake the dead. Atlas and Cassian sat nearby drinking coffee while watching the disaster unfold. Neither looked remotely interested in stopping it.
I crossed my arms and leaned against the doorway. “What died?”
Three heads snapped toward me. Dominic immediately pointed at Kieran. “Him.”
“I didn’t do anything,” Kieran protested.
“You touched my stuff.”
“It was a charger.”
“It wasn’t your charger.”
“It looked like my charger.”
I stared at them for several seconds. The fact that they were arguing over a charger an hour before leaving for Kingsveil somehow didn’t surprise me.
Slowly, I turned toward Dominic and pushed out my bottom lip. “Aww. What’s wrong, Dom? Did Kieran kill your new dead puppy?”
Dominic looked genuinely offended. Kieran burst out laughing. Xavier nearly choked on his drink. Across the room, Atlas lowered his coffee mug while Cassian suddenly found the wall fascinating. Neither were fooling anyone though.
“You are all impossible,” Dominic muttered.
“You’re just sensitive,” I shot back.
“I am not.”
“You absolutely are.”
Before the argument could restart, another voice joined the conversation. “Now, now, Arabella. Don’t tease your brother.”
I turned immediately. My mother walked into the room carrying a mug of coffee. Elara looked beautiful as always. She was strong and always confident. The kind of woman who could command an entire kingdom without raising her voice. The kind of woman who somehow managed to keep this family functioning despite being surrounded by complete insanity.
I crossed the room and wrapped my arms around her. “Tell me again why we have to go.”
She rolled her eyes immediately. I look up at her and I rolled mine right back. Both my fathers laughed at us.
“You know exactly why,” she sighed. “Kingsveil prepares powerful heirs for their Awakening. It teaches control. It helps you understand your abilities before they fully emerge.”
“I know. I know. You can stop now.”
Her eyes narrowed. “Then stop asking.”
“I was hoping the answer changed.”
That finally earned a laugh from everyone.
I groaned dramatically. “Three months.”
“Three months,” Atlas agreed.
I glanced toward him. His expression softened slightly. The smile on his face never quite reached his eyes. Something shifted inside my chest. For the first time, it occurred to me that this wasn’t easy for them either. They were sending us away. Not forever. But things would never be the same afterward.
We weren’t children anymore. We were heirs. Future rulers. The next generation.
A strange ache settled inside my chest. Suddenly Kingsveil didn’t seem quite as exciting.
A sharp pain exploded along the back of my neck. My breath caught. The sensation disappeared almost immediately. Gone so quickly I almost convinced myself I’d imagined it.
My hand lifted toward the spot. Nothing. There was no soreness. No tenderness. Nothing unusual.
I frowned before pushing the thought aside. Today was too important to spend worrying about random aches.
Before I knew it, everyone was standing outside. The cool morning air brushed against my skin while staff members loaded luggage into the waiting vehicles.
Reality settled heavily across my shoulders. This was it. We were leaving.
Atlas stepped forward first and pulled me into a hug. “Be good princess.”
A laugh escaped me. “Dad. You say that like I’m one of them.” I pointed toward my brothers.
Cassian stepped forward next. His hug was just as tight. “Any men gives you trouble, call us.”
I smiled. “Pretty sure that’s not academy policy.”
Then my mother stepped forward. The second she wrapped her arms around me, my throat tightened. Neither of us spoke. When she finally pulled away, her eyes looked suspiciously bright.
Mine probably did too.
The boys finished saying their goodbyes with the usual teasing, threats, and laughter because apparently showing emotions was illegal in this family.
Eventually, everyone climbed into the SUV. As the vehicle pulled away, I turned in my seat and looked through the back window. The palace slowly grew smaller behind us. A strange ache settled inside my chest. For seventeen years, those halls had been my entire world. Every birthday, every family dinner, every lesson, every argument with my brothers and every memory with my parents lived within those walls.
Excitement still buzzed beneath my skin, but sadness had found a place beside it.
The future waited ahead. The life I’d always known remained behind. For the first time, I truly understood that childhood was over.
Pain slammed into the back of my neck all of a sudden. I gasped. This time it wasn’t a quick sting. Fire shot beneath my skin. My hand flew upward as the sensation burned through me before fading just as suddenly as it had arrived. But it had been stronger.
Nobody seemed to notice. My brothers were still arguing about something completely ridiculous. Music. Food. I honestly had no idea anymore.
I swallowed hard. Three months. I had three months until my eighteenth birthday. Three months until the curse was supposed to fully awaken.
Three months. So why did it feel like it had already begun?

Letters to a Dark Prince
Thrown into Isteros Academy—a world of old money, blood money, and cruel social games—she's an outsider by birth and an afterthought by design. Her sister Solyn is the school's untouchable queen and Mara is her favorite target.
Everyone expects Atreus to treat his fiancée’s scholarship sister like everyone else does—as if she doesn’t matter.
Instead, his dorm room sits directly across from hers, close enough that she can see his light go out at night. Some nights, he climbs the old maintenance trellis just to check on her. He teaches her chess. He shows up exactly when something's gone wrong—and never once asks to be thanked for it.
"Don't fall in love with one piece," he warns her, over a board neither of them treats like a game anymore. "It punishes the person who only sees half of it."
Mara doesn't understand why the boy who's supposed to make her life harder keeps quietly making it easier—not until she realizes the anonymous stranger she's been writing to every week already has a name.
His.
He doesn't know he's writing to her, either.
By the time they find out, it's too late to stop what's already happening. Far too dangerous for anyone to find out.
In an empty studio, in the middle of a rainstorm, she asks him: 'Am I the kind of girl who kisses a boy engaged to my sister?'
He doesn't answer.
So she asks: 'What are we?’
He told her not to fall in love with one piece.
She fell anyway.
And he was never far behind.
Bloodright
Ashveil University is not what it looks like in the photographs. The students here carry something that shifts their eyes at the edges of anger. The northwest trees hold an attention that trees should not be able to hold. And the empty chair at the council table, the one nobody sits in, the one nobody explains, has been waiting three hundred years for one specific person to arrive.
Nobody told Adaline she was that person. They classified her as Dormant. A blank space in a file. Nothing.
She is the opposite of nothing.
Beneath the campus, three ancient entities are waking up. Every house in the pack world wants to control what runs in her blood. The boy sent to assess her has stopped being able to do his job. And the woman who has been three steps ahead of everyone since before Adaline was born is not a villain. She is a warning. She is what Adaline would have become if nobody had found her.
The suppression field holding everything together is failing. The clock is running. And the only way to stop what is coming requires Adaline to give up the thing she can least afford to lose.
She already knows her answer. She decided before anyone told her the full price.

One reckless connection at Sturgis becomes something neither of them can ignore, and when Bobby realizes exactly what Rook has promised away, walking away stops being an option.

A betrayal.

Taryn refuses to be anyone’s property.
Bobby has never been good at following rules.
And Kellan Stroud does not forgive what he believes belongs to him.
The road out of Sturgis may cost them everything first.
Taste of Fate: The Vampire King's Human Mate
He reached for the back of my head and pulled me up just enough to reach my neck. When his fangs slid into me, the pain was instant, electric. I couldn’t breathe. I couldn’t think. My hands found his shoulders, clawing for something to hold. My legs kicked. Tears streamed down my cheeks.
He moaned against my throat as he drank, and the sound was devastating.

My Billionaire Husband's Secret
He was the CEO of the Blackwood Group — a man whose wealth and power eclipsed ninety-nine percent of the world.
He was gentle. Romantic. Attentive. I fell for him fast.
But a year into our marriage, I began to notice something — a pattern.
Lucas's sexual appetite was intense — he wanted me almost every night. Yet every single month, he arranged a solo trip to send me away. I told myself it was his way of spoiling me.
Then a message arrived from someone called Sweet An.
Do you really know your husband?
From that day on, my life filled with shadows.
I suspected my husband of having an affair.
When Lucas and I made love, something felt wrong — his body too large, too much, like something I couldn't explain.
I heard sounds during sex — animal sounds, like something feral had crawled into bed with us.
My best friend Mia said: "There are men sick enough to let dogs fuck their wives."
The family doctor, Daisy, told me: "You could never stay by Lucas's side forever. Your background doesn't make you worthy of being his wife. Do you understand?"
I went looking for whoever had been tearing my marriage apart. I fought to win my husband back.
But the deeper I searched, the larger the secret grew — something far darker hiding beneath this supposed betrayal.
Does Lucas truly love me?
And why, out of everyone in the world, did he choose to marry me?
