As the moon hung in the sky, its ethereal glow casting shadows on the hallowed grounds of Mystic Moon Academy, Selene's footsteps echoed through the deserted corridors. Her heart, burdened by the weight of the encounter with Hudson, carried the silent cadence of a soul grappling with unspoken sorrows. The nocturnal stillness enveloped her, a quiet companion to the turbulent emotions that swirled within.

As she navigated the dimly lit corridors, a fateful collision disrupted Selene's trajectory. Emerging from the shadows, Ronan, the eldest of the mysterious Quads, crossed paths with her. His sharp gaze, accustomed to dissecting mysteries, softened upon witnessing the tears that adorned Selene's cheeks. However, any expectations of solace were shattered as he maintained a stoic facade, his voice devoid of the warmth she sought.

"Why are you out so late?" he inquired with an air of disinterest, the indifference woven through his words. "It's not responsible, especially with my youngest brother doing the same."

In that moment, Selene, seeking a connection beyond the superficial roles dictated by the academy, felt the sting of Ronan's aloofness. A surge of frustration and sorrow coursed through her, and with a determined step, she brushed past him. Her footsteps echoed the tempest within as she sought refuge in the cocoon of her dorm room.


Within the confines of the room, darkness wrapped around every corner, and the rhythmic sounds of Olivia's peaceful slumber permeated the air. Unseen and unheard, Selene, burdened with the weight of her tumultuous emotions, crumpled onto her bed. The dichotomy of feelings she harbored for the enigmatic Quads bore down on her, and the tears she had restrained for too long finally breached their confines.

In the quiet confines of her dorm, Selene grappled with the complexity of her feelings. Ronan's indifference, in stark contrast to the turmoil she sensed within herself, intensified her inner conflict. Questions swirled in her mind like a tempest, and in the eye of this emotional storm, a singular figure stood out — Oscar, the Quad who had consistently shown her kindness.

The room, dimly lit by the moon's gentle glow, became a haven for Selene's contemplation. Shadows played on the walls, mirroring the intricacies of her thoughts. In the tapestry of her emotions, Oscar's presence was a thread of warmth and understanding, a stark contrast to the chill she felt in the presence of the other Quads.

As she lay on her bed, the whispers of the night seemed to carry the weight of unspoken regrets and the tangled threads of her destiny. In the midst of her contemplation, Selene's thoughts gravitated toward Oscar. The idea of him being the only Quad who might truly understand her, the one who could be her destined mate, danced through her mind like a delicate waltz, accompanied by the haunting melodies of uncertainty and hope.

As sleep claimed her, Selene descended into the realm of dreams, where reality and fantasy intermingled in a dance of uncertainty. The silken threads of her subconscious wove a narrative of hope amid the shadows of doubt. In this ephemeral world, she sought solace, a refuge from the complexities that plagued her waking hours.

The moon, a serene sentinel in the night sky, bathed the room in a soft radiance. Shadows danced on the walls, casting fleeting illusions that mirrored the intricacies of Selene's heart. The gentle rustle of curtains, stirred by the night breeze, became the soundtrack to her dreamscape.

Within the tapestry of her slumber, visions of Oscar, the Quad whose kindness had illuminated the darkest corners of her thoughts, took center stage. Their imaginary encounters unfolded like a delicate ballet, each step echoing the unspoken connection that seemed to transcend the enigma of the academy.

As Selene drifted deeper into the embrace of sleep, her dreams became a sanctuary where the unresolved questions of her heart found temporary respite. Uncertainty and hope twined together, creating a landscape where the boundaries between reality and the ethereal blurred, and the moonlit whispers of her subconscious continued their haunting serenade.
