Aislin lined us up in Lux Hall, looking over our formal uniforms with a fierce scowl. “No matter what grades we get, we are not going to allow Tenebris to look sharper than us,” she said fiercely.

For the Guardianship Gala, we’d abandoned our comfortable street uniforms in favor of something a little more militarized: crisp black shirts, black ties, stiff jackets. Instead of having our tattoos showing, each jacket had been customized for each student with shiny gold embroidery, marking on the uniform where the student’s tattoos corresponded to their skin.

I was a little gratified that I had the most embroidery of all, five golden sickles on my sleeve, a teardrop on the inner arm, and a golden dot at the back of my collar. But I was more surprised by the bit of gold near Aislin’s hip: three six-pointed stars, for the Fae.

For the final touch, which I’d looked up in the uniform regulations handbook, I added a golden button on either lapel of my jacket and took the war-chain off my neck. The Fae-forged gold moved almost like a liquid that read my mind, attaching neatly to either button until the four fangs were displayed neatly across my chest.

“Nobody wears those anymore,” Juno said with a sniff, and Silas shook his head next to her with a little smirk.

I ignored them. They weren’t the ones I was out to impress.

The sounds of a hundred other people seeped into the hall. The seniors’ Gala was being hosted in the atrium, where awards would be distributed for top marks.

Even if I wasn’t the smartest of them on paper, I knew damn well that I was the only one wearing the fangs of my foes, with the most gold thread to my name.

Aislin led us down the hall and we filtered into the atrium alongside Tenebris. My heart pounded in my throat as a strange mix of rowdy cheers from the older, more grizzled slayers met the polite clapping of the ones who’d taken up more of a position as society ladies. I discreetly wiped my sweaty palms against my pants, my eyes darting around the atrium as Lux and Tenebris filed onto the stage at the far end, where Headmaster Burns had set up a podium.

Aislin halted, and we turned to face the crowd, our hands clasped neatly behind our backs.

The weight of so many eyes crawling over us almost broke me out in a cold sweat. I tried my hardest to keep my gaze focused above them all, staring at the far wall as Headmaster Burns rolled through a little speech about progress, pain, and the halfway point of the next generation, reminding myself not to lock my knees.

But I could’ve sworn some of the eyes landed on me alongside cruel little smiles. I didn’t know most of the people in this room, aside from Percival and Mom, wherever they were; but thanks to Will and Sura’s horseshit, many of them knew me. My face. My body.

My lips twitched but I held my expression steady.
