Seraphina

Aria Calloway’s life has one golden rule: stay invisible. It’s the only way for an omega like her to survive, especially since her father’s death in a pack war still wakes her up screaming. 
So, it's baggy clothes, fake glasses, and sticking to the shadows, because the last thing she needs is attention from someone like Lucian Monroe.
 He's the Head Alpha’s son, all dangerous charm and campus royalty, basically everything she’s not. 
But a literal collision in the hallway is just the start, and then he even, bizarrely, defends her from his own crew. Things really spiral at her friend Caleb's party. How do you go back to being invisible when the most powerful guy on campus just branded you with a lie, and what happens when the aftermath of that "mistake" is something neither of them can ignore?

Chapter 167: A Friend's Comfort, A Future Shattered


The flames dancing before me sparked a strange satisfaction. I wasn't just watching fire consume Finn's shirt—I was watching my old self burn away too.


But reality crashed back when smoke began filling the room. What was I doing?


"Stop," I whispered, suddenly terrified. "Please stop."


To my shock, the flames immediately died down, leaving only scorched fabric and the acrid smell of smoke. My hands trembled as I stared at the blackened remains.


I had done that. With my mind. With my rage.


There was no time to process this new terrifying power. I needed to get out of here before someone came to investigate the smoke. Grabbing my belongings, I stumbled toward the door, my legs still unsteady.


The hallway was mercifully empty. As I hurried through the dorm building, voices drifted from around corners.


"Totally cheated on Lucian with that exchange student."
