My senses were heightened the next afternoon when I waltzed into class, book in hand and ready to learn. Little did my professor know I was only there to learn about him, ultimately gaining access to his supposed girlfriend, Kirsi Ranta.

It then dawned on me… almost all my professors, save for one, were sancti of some sort.

My literature teacher was a mora, similar to my target at the moment… Moras were considered the mutts of the sancti—the supernatural of our world. Mrs. Ward, a beautiful nerd with black-rimmed glasses, was not only an excellent literature teacher, but was also married to a mortali… a human who didn’t know about our kind. How she kept her powers from him was beyond me. Hell, she didn’t even give off much of a vibe, and I was definitely good at reading the various sancti around. The best I could tell, she had shifter magic, but what she was still remained a mystery to me—and obviously to her husband.

My physics teacher was… and this always got a laugh from our kind… my physics teacher was a psychic. He wasn’t like a witch who could pull from the minds of others, he wasn’t a necromancer who could conjure the dead to walk this earth, nor was he a charmer or glimmer who could make anyone think what he showed them was true. No. He was full-on, speak to the living through the dead psychic.

And lastly, aside from my astronomy teacher, Mr. B, my algebra professor was even more human than any supernatural being could hope for. Mostly, we found mortali to be dumber than a box of rocks, and too oblivious to put one and one together to make two, let alone notice the powers of the sancti in our community. Thankfully though, this man was intelligent in his own right, and didn’t need any supernatural powers to keep him at the top of my favorite beings scale.

But the trend was still something to be thought about. Did my father also plan this out? Did he make sure I went to school with my own kind?

His control issues knew no bounds.

“Sarah,” Mr. Bellamy’s voice boomed from the blackboard at the front of the small auditorium. “Have anything to add?”

The smile on his face told me he knew I wasn’t paying attention, which was completely embarrassing and infuriating all wrapped into one.

“Nothing to add. Sorry, sir.” I bowed my head. Even though I could’ve charmed the ever-loving pants off the man in order to get a good grade, the ward hanging from his belt a mere distraction in the face of my powers, I still didn’t want him to know who… or more fitting… what I was. Anonymity was definitely something to be proud of in my line of work, and in all the sancti community for that matter.

Branton Bellamy, the hottest professor on our campus—or so the girls said—just nodded his head and addressed someone else in the class.

My grade was going to suffer for my lack of participation, but I didn’t care.
