Zodiac Academy 2: Ruthless Fae

I TILTED MY head back as the hot water raced over my skin, scrubbing my fingers through my curling hair as I washed it with the expensive as hell shampoo Mom had sent me. I complained about her sending me so many grooming products but I still used all of them so I guessed she knew me better than I liked to admit.

As I finished washing the dirt from Pitball practice off of my body, my mind turned to Tory Vega. I still hadn’t bitten her since the other Heirs had nearly drowned her and I was currently running high on Darius’s power. I’d caught him off guard right after he shifted back out of his Dragon form last night at King’s Hollow and even though his nudity made it a little awkward, it was the easiest opportunity for me to catch him unawares. 

Seth had been the easiest of them to overpower; his constant nuzzling meant that all it had taken was a moment of Vampire speed and a turn of my head was met with the reward of a long drink of his magic. Now that I’d taken my anger over the situation out on each of them, we could all move on without the need for any more bad feeling between us. That coupled with the fact that our second week of detention was finally coming to an end meant that we should be able to get back to normal again. Last night we’d all truly laughed together for the first time in ages and I was more than pleased to have my relationship with my brothers back on track.

But now that that was done I knew I couldn’t keep on giving Tory a free ride. It was time I drank from my Source again and I just had to hope that doing so wouldn’t undo the hard work I’d put into winning her around to me.

I wasn’t a fool, I knew she didn’t trust me and certainly didn’t have any reason to want me as a friend. But I hoped she might be open to rethinking the other aspect of our relationship which we’d barely even begun to explore.

I closed my eyes as I remembered that afternoon alone in the classroom with her. The way her kiss had tasted, the way her body had felt as she’d given it to me, the sight of what lay beneath her clothes, the moans of pleasure I drew from her lips… It was making me hard just thinking about it and I half considered indulging in this fantasy a little longer. But I didn’t want to jerk off over Tory Vega. I wanted to feel her body writhing beneath mine.

With a grunt of frustration, I flipped the dial around to cold and gasped as the freezing torrent put a dampener on my arousal.

I tolerated it for as long as I could before getting out and grabbing a towel which I ran through my hair before tying around my waist.

I headed out of my en-suite into my room and stopped dead as I spotted a life sized inflatable Pegasus sex doll standing in the middle of my goddamn bed.

My lip curled back with anger. How the hell had someone gotten that in here? And why the fuck was this stupid rumour still circulating about me? I’d tried to laugh it off, I’d tried to ignore it but now it had gone too damn far.

I rushed towards the rainbow striped flying horse complete with gaping butthole and shoved it towards the door.

“Who did this?!” I bellowed, making sure the whole goddamn House could hear me. I was their fucking Captain and a Celestial Heir. What made someone think they could get away with this shit in my House??

I was so angry that I kicked my door open using my Vampire strength, causing the wood to splinter around the lock and the thing to fall half off the hinges and into the open hallway outside. A crowd had already gathered to find out what I was yelling about and I snarled at them, baring my fangs before turning back to try and tug the stupid sex toy out of my room.

“Whoever the fuck it is who thinks that this was a good idea had better come forward if you want your punishment to be something you survive!” I yelled, heat clawing up my neck as I tried to force the huge thing out of my room but it’s glittering wings were getting caught on the other side of the door. I was face to face with the plastic monstrosity, its horsey mouth puckered into a willing O, waiting hopefully for some sicko to plough their dick into it.

The crowd was growing bigger as more and more people came to see what all the shouting was about and I hoped somewhere amongst them someone was quivering in their little pussy boots as they realised just what level of hell I was going to unleash on them.

I released a string of obscenities as I shoved the plastic Pegasus back into my room and moved to the rear of it to force it out from behind.

There was a tail made of synthetic hair sticking out right above its gaping asshole which tangled between my fingers as I fought with the sordid toy in a bid to get it out of my personal space.

I snarled angrily as I threw my weight against the perverted inflatable and it gave way suddenly, bursting out into the corridor.

I stalked after it, snarling as I noticed some of my House members taking photos and filming me like this was somehow entertaining.

“When I find out which one of you fuckwits did this, I’ll drain you of every goddamn drop of power and blood alike, leaving you as a shrivelled husk for the worms to eat!” I bellowed, losing my shit entirely.

I ran at the blow-up Pegasus again, meaning to force it through the door at the end of the corridor but it got jammed once more.

I started swearing, thrusting my weight against it and wrapping my arms around its hind legs to give me purchase.

As I shoved forward, the precarious knot in my towel gave up and the damn thing fell at my feet, leaving me butt-naked just to top off my raging temper.

I shoved it again a few more times, snarling with rage as I failed to get it through the door.

I cried out, losing the plot and sinking my fangs into the plastic monstrosity as I gave up on trying to force it outside and resorted to destroying it.

A high-pitched whistle filled the space as the thing deflated at high speed, its glittering wings flapping feebly as the air rushed out of it and it sank to the ground.

I smirked triumphantly for one fleeting second then turned back to the crowd of assholes watching me.

“When I find out who’s doing this bullshit, they’re going to wish they were never born!” I bared my teeth at them and was only vaguely satisfied when they recoiled from me. Someone was going out of their way to humiliate and antagonise me but it was only a matter of time before I tracked them down and let them know exactly how powerful I was. Then I’d teach them a lesson in respect.

I stalked back into my room without retrieving my towel and dragged my broken door back into place, securing it with a blast of earth magic which wrapped vines through the gaps to hold it.

I tried to rein my temper in but I couldn’t stop myself from driving my fist into the wall, sending lumps of brickwork and dust cascading down onto my bed.

I clawed my fingers into my hair, fighting against the impulse to rip out a fistful of blonde curls as I battled to calm my agitated breathing.

I closed my eyes, inhaling and exhaling deeply as the tremors wracking my body started to slow.

A ping sounded from my Atlas and I stalked towards my desk, hoping that someone was contacting me with good news which might just break through this foul mood.

I snatched it up with a scowl and saw that I’d been tagged in a FaeBook post. I pursed my lips as I tapped on the link. Reading an overly suggestive date offer or even just seeing pictures some of my stalker club had posted of me, gushing about how insanely attractive I was would actually be productive right now. I was in the mood to have my ego stroked a little. But that wasn’t what I found when I opened the post.

What followed was a video of me in the corridor after my towel had dropped as I wrapped my arms around the disgusting sex toy’s middle and tried to force it through the doorway. I was cursing and grunting and general looked like I was actually screwing the mother fucking thing.

I stared at it for several long seconds, utterly speechless as a rage more powerful than anything I’d ever known grew in my gut.

The Atlas shattered in my grip and I tossed it against the wall for good measure as complete and utter fury consumed me.

I would find the person responsible for this and I would make them pay.
