Jax woke in his academy dorm room. Morning light cut through the window. He sat up, rubbing his face.
The day had arrived.
He showered quickly, letting the hot water wake him fully. His mind was already running through what needed to happen today.
He dressed in casual clothes—dark pants, a simple shirt. Nothing formal. This wasn't a social visit. And to be honest he didnt need any clothes today
He grabbed his device and typed out a message to Kiera.
[Come to my room.]
Her reply came fast.
[I'm not coming to your room ever again.]
Jax smirked.
[Fine. Then I'll come to yours.]
A pause. Then:
[Wait. Fine. I'll come. But give me a proper reason why you need me.]
[It's about the invitation from the Sterling family.]
[...Fine. I'm coming.]
Ten minutes later, a knock on his door.
Jax opened it. Kiera stood there, arms crossed, face cold.
"What do you want?"
