him a taunting smile. We headed out of class and had to split up as we walked back to our Houses. The K.U.N.T.s were out in force tonight, but that just made me more excited about sneaking past them later on. I really wanted to feel like I was defying my father, and this seemed like the best opportunity yet.

At half six I showered and packed my Pegobag with some clothes for the party and lay on my bed with a towel wrapped around my waist, anxious to go. I’d styled my hair back and pushed some shimmer wax through it that made it glitter.

I was wasting time Faegling dijazzles on my Atlas, still mortified as shit over what had happened yesterday. But I wasn’t gonna call it quits. I was going to have the best looking dick in the herd, I just had to figure out how to make that happen…

I tapped on a link for the ten hottest dijazzles of the year and my brows shot up as I scrolled onto number eight. Instead of gemstones, the guy had pierced his dick with crystals and it looked pretty damn sweet.

A message popped up at the top of the screen and my heart thudded harder.

Sofia:

I’m a little drunk.

Halloween is my favourite holiday.

I’m naked right now.

I sat upright with a stupid grin, tapping out my answer. Two truths and a lie was our game and as much as I wanted option number three to be true, I didn’t think I was that lucky of a guy.

Xavier:

The third one is the lie…

Sofia:

You’re right. Are you disappointed?

My dick tingled at her words and I sucked my lower lip, about to respond when a bang sounded against my window followed by a groan.

“What the fuck?” I jumped up, finding Hadley clinging to the frame outside.

“I came at it too hard. Let me in,” he called, rubbing his nose and I snorted a laugh as I opened it for him.

He dropped into my room dressed in a crisp white shirt and slacks, his dark hair pushed back. He had a look of his brother Caleb tonight, everything about him dripping cockiness.

“Why are you naked, man? Get dressed.”

“I’m gonna fly there.” I pointed to my Pegobag and Hadley scowled at it, swiping it up.

“No. You need to look hot tonight.” He shook my clothes from inside it which consisted of a pair of jeans and a t-shirt, then clucked his tongue and walked past me to my closet.

“Er, why?” I asked in confusion as he rifled through my things, taking out a black shirt and smart pants before throwing them at me.

“Because you need to get your cherry popped,” he said with a grin and I scowled.

“Who says I haven’t-”

“Everyone,” he deadpanned. “Literally everyone says you haven’t so maybe you should fix that. Like stat.”

I didn’t answer as heat climbed my neck, pulling on the clothes he’d picked out for me.

“Yeah, that’ll do it.” He clapped me on the shoulder. “Now get on my back, I’m your ride for the night, sugar.”

I whinnied a laugh. “You’re an asshole.”

“Yeah, but assholes get laid,” he pointed out, turning around and patting his shoulder. “Come on, hop on.”

“There’s only one girl I want, man,” I muttered and he sighed.

“I know, I know, but Sofia is taken. And if you wanna steal her then you also wanna impress her in bed, right?”

“Well yeah, but-”

“No buts, you need to fuck as many girls as you can as practise,” he said casually and I frowned. “Then you can lay on the charm, show her your magical dick and bam, she’ll be yours for as long as you want her.”

“I don’t just wanna fuck her. I want her to be mine,” I growled and he glanced back at me with a derisive look.

“Seriously? You want to settle down with this girl when you haven’t even screwed any other Fae?” he asked.

“You’re starting to sound like Grayson,” I said.

“Grayson’s pack of fangirling mutts don’t appeal to me,” he scoffed. “I like a girl who’s a challenge. But once I’ve had her, then it’s time to find new prey. Maybe you’re like that too? Once you’ve had Sofia and she’s fucked you until you shit glitter, you’ll get over her.”

“It’s not like that with her,” I said, a growl to my tone that was almost Dragon worthy.

“How would you know?” He arched a brow and dammit I didn’t have a fucking answer to that. “See? You’re an Alpha, it’s in your blood like it’s
