Fated Alliance

Alyce Eryx Academy Series, #1

Hey, this is Roselyn... Ugh. Why Do I do that? I hate how I always start these entries. I mean seriously; this is my journal.  I'm easily two hundred pages in. It's not like this is something new.

Anyway, I'm stalling. This is actually harder to write than I thought it would be. I haven't even told my girls yet. I mean, how am I going to tell them I've fallen for one of the few people here who could kill me? One of the few people I promised my parents I would avoid at all costs.

How do I tell Evony that all I can think about is the son of the woman responsible for nearly causing her race to become extinct? How do I tell LIra, whose prophecies are taken with high regard by the Realm Keepers, that I'm ignoring her advice and meeting him tonight?

I know it's wrong. I know I can literally have anyone else in this school, but I can't get him out of my mind.

Something bigger is at play here.

How I feel isn't natural; there's no way.

So tonight, I'm going to meet him. Tonight, I will make Thayer tell me what the hell is going on.

• Until tomorrow … providing that Lira isn't right and I don't die the second he has me alone.
