Celeste's POV
*****
3:15 pm, Bloodoak Academy Grand Library
Fuck my life. Fuck this school. Fuck the Vein beasts and the goddess's mate bond.
Fuck everything!
I was certain my face was twisted with the meanest frown lines ever as I waltzed into the academy's main library. The librarian—a human hunter—Mister Sullivan, lowered his wire-rimmed glasses when he saw me storm in.
He was probably about to greet me but stopped himself when he saw my mood. I didn't care. Neither did I care about the senior students I walked past on my way to a section of the library I sorely needed to check out.
Dean Thorne's words still echoed in my head like a broken record.
Atlas AND Luther. Assigned to be my bodyguards for gods knows how long.
Now, Atlas I could stomach. Amongst my mates, he seemed like the only one barely moved by the mate bond. We hardly had any chemistry other than a few glances, and that awkward first meeting Uncle Isaiah organised between us.
But LUTHER FUCKING HALE?
