Autumn Rayne

Silvermist Evermore never belonged. Born to unloving parents and cast aside, she had long accepted that life would never offer her warmth—until she was chosen as an apprentice at Moonstone Academy, a place where magic breathes and fate is written in the stars. But her arrival comes with a price. In an act of betrayal and manipulation, Silvermist shatters Frost's staff, the formidable Winter Guardian, unraveling a secret that should have remained buried. Now, bound by an ancient rule, she must take its place—not as a mere apprentice, but as something far more dangerous: Frost’s human staff, the living embodiment of his power. As Silvermist struggles to navigate the treacherous halls of Moonstone, she discovers that Guardians without apprentices are doomed to vanish, and the balance of the four seasons—Spring, Summer, Autumn, and Winter—hangs by a thread. But the shadows whisper a greater truth: a war looms on the horizon, fueled by the Sandman’s wrath and a hidden enemy who has been pulling the strings all along. Haunted by cryptic dreams, hunted by those who seek to use her, and betrayed by those she once trusted, Silvermist must uncover the truth behind her own existence before she loses herself to the very storm she was forced to wield. Can she survive the weight of Winter, or will she be the final snowfall that buries them all?

Cedric Lawrence—the quiet presence who appeared beside her when she least expected. When the rain poured, he was there, silently offering an umbrella.

Was love meant to be gentle, like a whisper carried by the wind? Or was it destined to be fierce, like a wildfire that refused to be tamed?

« Qui es-tu ? » Je me suis réveillée d'un sursaut, désorientée et endolorie de partout. Un corps masculin lourd était allongé à côté de moi --- nous étions tous les deux nus, à l'exception d'un drap couvrant nos corps. Je recherchais dans ma mémoire les événements de la nuit précédente, essayant de comprendre comment j'avais atterri ici tout en tentant d'enrouler le drap autour de mon corps. Je me suis arrêtée en me rendant compte que je laisserais mon compagnon de lit totalement dénudé. Je me suis souvenue m'être répétée sans cesse : « Je suis ta compagne ! » Je me suis dégagée doucement du lit à la recherche de vêtements. J'ai essayé d'être aussi silencieuse que possible pour ne pas réveiller l'étranger. Son parfum était partout sur moi, sur tout en fait. Riche et masculin, chaque fois que je respirais, j'avais l'impression d'être enveloppée par la forêt avec des notes de bois et une épice chaude que je ne pouvais nommer. Je voulais ramper à nouveau dans le lit à côté de lui et ne jamais partir. Ma louve, Rayne, grognait dans ma tête : « Nous ne devrions pas partir ! C'est notre compagnon ! »

Quem é você? Acordei de sobressalto, desorientada e com dores pelo corpo todo. Um corpo masculino pesado estava ao meu lado --- ambos estávamos nus, exceto pelo lençol que cobria nossos corpos. Eu procurava em minhas memórias pela noite anterior, tentando entender como havia parado aqui enquanto tentava enrolar o lençol em meu corpo. Parei quando percebi que deixaria meu parceiro de cama totalmente nu. Eu me recordava de ter dito repetidamente: 'Sou sua companheira!' Com cuidado, saí da cama para procurar roupas. Tentei ser tão silenciosa quanto possível para não acordar o estranho. Seu cheiro estava impregnado em mim, em tudo na verdade. Rico e masculino, cada vez que eu respirava, sentia como se estivesse sendo envolvida pela floresta, com toques de madeira e uma especiaria quente que eu não conseguia identificar. Eu queria voltar para a cama ao lado dele e nunca mais sair. Minha loba, Rayne, resmungava em minha mente: 'Não deveríamos partir! Ele é o nosso companheiro!'

"Siapa kamu?" Saya terbangun dengan terkejut, bingung dan sakit di seluruh tubuh. Tubuh laki-laki berat terbaring di samping saya---kami berdua telanjang kecuali seprai yang menutupi tubuh kami. Saya mencari ingatan malam sebelumnya, mencoba memahami bagaimana saya bisa berakhir di sini sambil mencoba membungkus seprai di sekitar tubuh saya. Saya berhenti ketika saya menyadari bahwa saya akan meninggalkan pasangan tidur saya telanjang total. Saya mengingat diri saya berkata berulang kali, "Aku pasanganmu!" Saya perlahan-lahan turun dari tempat tidur untuk mencari pakaian. Saya mencoba sebisanya agar tidak membangunkan orang asing itu. Aromanya menyelimuti saya, menyelimuti segala sesuatu sebenarnya. Kaya dan maskulin, setiap kali saya bernapas saya merasa seakan sedang dikelilingi oleh hutan dengan sentuhan kayu dan rempah hangat yang tidak bisa saya namai. Saya ingin merangkak kembali ke tempat tidur di sampingnya dan tidak pernah pergi. Serigala saya, Rayne, bergumam di kepala saya, "Kita tidak seharusnya pergi! Dia adalah pasangan kita!"

A breeze rustled past, stirring the sunlight sparkling through the autumn foliage above us, and a sprinkle of gold fell over his shoulders. "Say you want me," he whispered. "Bai Ye—" I breathed, but the rest of my words were replaced by moans the moment he traced his kisses along my neck and took my earlobe into his mouth. Familiar tingles roared through me as he nibbled and suckled gently. His hand slid up my chest, and he played with my sensations with his lips and tongue and fingers until my arms trembled around him. All other thoughts vanished from my mind. The only thing I knew was the irresistible feeling of him on me, so overwhelming that my knees started growing weak. I would've fallen if he wasn't pinning me hard against the tree. "Bai Ye …" I moaned again, clawing at his clothes. "Of course I want you … Right here, right now." He let out a soft puff of laughter, and his hand grazed down, gripping the folds of my dress. With a rip of fabric, he tore them away.
