Branson stiffens abd straughtsns his specs. "What favour?"
I smile,"You see, one of my friends here is a warlock and got rejected by the academy Proffesors. Now I am concerned for him because he's been given an ultimatum and needs to win some bi weekly contest to remain in the academy. So, I was thinking if you could help him train and qualify the contest?"
Branson opens his mouth and then closes it. His brown stare blankly at me. "That's impossible! P-please don't get me involved into all of this." He scurries away towards the shelves and I run behind him.
"But why not?"
He runs faster and starts arranging the books on the shelves. "I'm not allowed to do thay. I'm not some Proffesor who can train your friend. If the Headmaster comes to know of it then…" his eyes wander to the space and he inhales deeply.
"What if he doesn't come to know? You can te
"Who's there?"Silence. No sound. I walk ahead to check if anybody's thete or not but find no one.I fee scared. God, what is happening in this place."Aurora!""What are you doing here? " says Alex."Uh,I... there…""Never mind. Maybe it was just a stupid vision. What are you doing here?""I es looking for you. Tessa told me about your plan to meet in the common room. I went there and didn't fing you. So I thought to look outside. And here you are.""Yeah. Okay, let's go."We walk inside the Academy and step inside the common room."Cinn! Here!" Tessa calls me. We walk towards her and sit on the group of chairs. Luckily, there's not many people around in the room. 
"But what about the people who want to live and do dream of a happy life?" I ask, flabbergasted by the recent revelation. It's not that I am worried about myself. I always had a feeling that I my rebelling for becoming something that's against the wererolves society norms will take sacrifice and dangers. And I'm willing to die than live a life of torture and pain. But what about Tessa and Alex…What have I led them into?"This Academy is certainly not for them." Peter speaks up, "But think about it. We're born as mystical creatures and the world out there lingering with despicable powers beyond your imagination. Don't you think it's our duty to save the humans from them?" He adds and Tessa stares at him for a long time."But...what if you are...not that capable?" Alex speaks and I face him. He looks down at the floor, his fingers twirling with each other. I hold his shoulder and he looks up at
Where should I hide my face? I wish the earth could eate up right now. I look sideways, trying my best to avoid the scrutinizing glares of Tessa and Alex. Crap! I'm so done! Why did I not re check about what I was suggesting? What's wrong with me?"You sure about that? Because we heard from someone that you're a powerful warlock." Alex says, while his eyes remain trained at me. Moon goddess,save me!Branson turns towards me and furrows his eyebrows."I...umm… I'm so what you think. I'm sorry." He straightens his glasses and gets back to his paperwork. Enough!I turn towards him and slam the table with my palm. Which hurts but nonetheless, I git his attention. He looks up at me, completely startled. "You didn't tell me that,now did you? You're a warlock, right? As far as I remember when I asked about it, you didn't exactly deny the information that you're a warlock. So w
I frown and sit beside her."The head librarian needs someone to look after the library, right?" Tessa asks."Yeah. So?""So…" she whispers into my ear and my frown soon fades away abd replaces with a mischievous smile."Tessa Stone! You're a genius!" I grin and hug my bestie who's supposedly got a mind-blowing idea that'll kill two sparrows with one arrow. We just need to wait to execute it.The next day, we both get ready and walk towards our first class which is fortunately Professor Harold's class. As perceived, the two walk into the class and Tessa and I wave at them. And literally sends shock waves to
"Salty sugars! Such a nerve of him." Tessa balled her right fist in the air and snarled."Calm down. I guess he suspected that we're lying or hiding something. That's why he said it. We underestimated them." I sigh."What do we,now? If he learns that Alex is getting taught by Branson in some secret place, then?" Tessa asks."I don't know. I'm worried about this too." I hold my hips and look around the corridor. We don't have much time until our next class starts. So I need to think of something quick. "Alright, listen. My mind is not working right now but until I figure out something, don't tell anything about it to Branson or Alex. Branson will freak out and Alex will end up packing his suitcase or who knows,worse! We can't take any risks right now." I say."But we should inform Alex, Cinn. You remember how he acted when he learnt that we kept so much away from
Act cool. Act cool."Oh." I reply, a little more chirpily. Damn my drama club skills."And…he seems to be quite catching the cold." He says and relief floods through me. "Though, it's weird that he caught such cold in this weather, especially when he mostly stays indoors." Tristian's eyes narrow at me. I'm dead."Yeah. Poor soul." I look away from him and nod my head faking sadness."Let's order something." Peter says."You guys eat, I'll leave." Alex says out of the blue and before I can call him, he walks out of the cafeteria. What happened to him? I notice Tristian looking at him too.The waiter arrives and we give our orders."Can we just take our food with us?" I ask Tessa through the mind link."Hmm." Comes her reply. What's that supposed to mean? Wh
I sigh. Professor Sheila looks at me sympathetically. The thing I hate the most. "It's alright, Aurora. You'll learn eventually." She pats my shoulder and gives a warm smile."Yeah, thanks Professor." I mumble in the hope that she hears it without me making any effort. Because if I let my voice get any louder, the entire class will hear my choking voice. Controlling my tears from descending already takes a lot. I walk back to the crowd, hearing the muffled laughter of some students. They're surely making fun of me.You're totally unworthy! Shame on you!"Hey." Tessa holds my shoulder, "Don't push yourself." She rubs my back while I look at the checked stone floor.How am I supposed to be a Luna and bring about revolution for the female wolves in my pack? How did Luna Cassandra do it? Lady Cassandra Crescent is the Queen of the Crescent royal bloodline. The only female
I thought that confusion is only confined to solving math problems. Now, I know that compared to Tristian's antics, it's nothing."What are you doing here?" I sigh and look at the quiet lake. At least I have something to keep my mind calm.He stands beside me, " Nothing. Just saw you standing here like Buddha so thought to accompany you."I roll my eyes. Why does he keep coming back when I'm alone? "So, you're telling me that it has nothing to do with you stalking me?" I turn at him and cross my arms over my chest, giving him 'the glare'.He chuckles, "Don't praise yourself too much Barbie doll. I'm just here to enjoy the serenity of the lake." He moves his arms dramatically towards the lake."Really?" I arch a brow, "Then how come you are here when I decided to be at this place?""Oh,come on." He smiles, "It'
Hello beautiful readers. Finally we come to the end of this journey. I'm grateful to you all for being with me through it and giving your love to Tristian and Aurora. I apologise for the mistakes I have made. I will definitely edit this story to make it even better. Though this is not the end of my journey here. I would be sticking around, writing more books. If you enjoy werewolf stories, then check out my latest book "Chased By The Dark Alpha". Last but not the least, it would be great if you leave a small message on how your reading experience has been in the reviews. I would be eager to read them. Thank you once again for sticking around. Love you all. ~Pixie
Another two months pass by and things slowly get back to normal. I learned that after the attack, something was found inside Simon that put him into paralysis. I know that it was my wave. Tristian told me that the Shadow Society placed the blame on him, saying that he was responsible for not taking care of the academy well,but later reasoning made it clear that Simon was the headmaster of the Academy for a very long time. He killed the founder, making it look like an accident and then played his cards to capture the Academy. And the Shadow Society was the one who granted his request to be the headmaster of the Academy. Which means that it was their fault,not Tristian's. Rather he was investigating this case for a very long time and wanted to throw off Simon from his position,but no matter what he did, Simon proved to be not guilty and the Shadow Society rather supported Simon.So, the decision was made that due to the poor reasoning skills of
A bright light sets upon my vision, making me go blind. Well, who said only darkness can make you blind? I would like to change that theory. For a moment, I feel nothing except a strange warmness flooding through my body and mind. After the battle, I remember his face. Perfectly chiseled, a part of it shadowed by the darkness and those baby blue eyes glistening. So beautiful. I wish I could touch him again. Alas, I have to wait in heaven for that. Wait! Heaven? Am I in heaven or was I sent to hell? But if I am supposed to be dead, should I be even having these thoughts?"Aurie! Aurie!" My mother's voice booms out from the white space. Mom? She is here? "Look, she is showing movement. Doctor!" The doctor is also in heaven-slash-hell? And who is showing movement?The warmness that spread throughout my entire rises in temperature,going from comfortable to hot. Bloody hell! What is happening? I am surely in hell. I can'
I open my eyes to find Simon on the other side, looking up at me. Yes! I have finally turned!!! Sia! Now it is upto you! Sia gives out a loud growl and lunges forward, crashing with the wall. Simon has moved away and attacks from above. I now understand his speed, so Sia moves away just at the right time. But, his movements are still fast and they are getting faster with time. Time! I don't have time. If I strain this too long, Sia will eventually fall. I have to do something. Think, think.Something stabs Sias's body and we both grunt in pain as the thing pierces our inner muscles. What the—another hit comes from the front, but Sia dodges it and goes straight for Simon's body, and gives him a blow like a bull. The impact throws him at the other end of the tunnel. Sia, it's alright. Calm down. We have tolerated much more than this. She tilts her head and takes out the staff Simon stabbed us with. She throws it away, and blood star
Screams are heard from everywhere as people run around in fear and the smoke covers everything. Smoke from the bombast. The blast happened through one of the corners of the room but it is hard to tell that from where exactly. The moment the fire started spreading, the horrific sight of a few people going unconscious terrorised me and without having a second thought, I ran for their rescue. Tristian called a few times, but his voice faded away and mingled with the screams that were still coming through the fog, piercing my ears. The students are still scared, I can tell. Even I am too. Who thought something like this would happen? I don't have any doubts on Tristian's security setting, but the problem is the attack happened from the inside and not outside. Which is not possible,until someone led this attack inside.I kneel down to check on the bodies lying on the floor. There is one male student, probably a witch lying unconscious. Oh MoonGod,
We step into the dance floor as per the plan. We stay close to them and I do my best to not look at him. Yet I can feel his stare on me. Breathe, breathe! Alex holds me by the shoulder and his other hand holds my hand. We start moving with the music slowly and get the grip of the dance."I can't be thankful enough to you. I can't imagine what you are going through or have been going through for so long." I say with every inch of genuineness in my voice."You are like this only, Aurora. You become tough in front of other people,but you forget to defend yourself when you are with your loved ones. It should be me thanking you. You were there for me from the beginning even though I was a man and someone opposite to your species type. I took the time to realise that you did so much for me and all I did was be selfish and take the essence of the friendship away from you. Yeah, it is tough, but love is all about sacrificin
I sit on the washroom floor and pull out my mask. Tears stream down my eyes like the dams of a river, probably messing with my makeup. I put so much more attention into it while doing it so that—so that when he sees me, he finds me beautiful. But right now, he has already moved on from me. So quickly. And that is no other than Jessica! My frustration would have been the same if it was any other woman, but still. I thought things were better between us after the incident. Yet nothing changed for her. She still has her eyes on him and now her wish has come true. While I...I weep on the floor reflecting on what a failure I am. I guess my dad was right. I am never good enough for anyone.I should go back to my home, apologize to him and take in the fate that I have. Atleast, it will be good enough if I marry some other Alpha and then show him in front of Tristian. He will understand the meaning of jealousy then. Yes! He will be so jealous!&
"Ugh!!!" I throw the last dress on the floor, frustrated by the less amount of choices I have. Why don't I have a good dress at all? Am I poor for now? After Peter told me about Tristian's past yesterday, he gave me an idea that can work. The ball is a great way for people to come together and if I can steal the show with my appearance then maybe I would be able to get close to him. But there is no good dress for that!"I think you should wear the dress you designed for me." Tessa says, putting the dresses back to their respective hangers."No, Tess. I made that for you.""But it's beautiful and you need it more right now!" She counters. She knows about Peter's plan because she is his girlfriend right now. And they together came up with the plan to go for a triple date at the ball. Yes, that is a thing too. Peter, Tessa and I. Like the sausage in the middle of the hot dog buns. It sounds so weir
I hold the bedsheet and clutch it between the suppression of my fingers while my eyes stream down tears. It has almost made the bed wet. Tessa is in the auditorium hall, working in my place to manage everything. After she saw my condition,she tried soothing my nerves, but I was in no mood to go back to my usual self. She understood that and told me to rest while she handled it. I'm sorry Tessa, for judging you. I thought she has stopped liking me because she is with Peter. But I was so fucking wrong! She was there for me from the beginning and what was I doing? Judging her and her choices. I cry more, my hair strands thrown apart in the bed. Even Sia is silent and sad. I could feel Ash's pain when Tristian was saying those things to me.How could I do this to him? Maybe, Jessica was right. I don't deserve him. I am too much for him. He deserves a nice woman who won't—wont break his trust! Won't break it! Which I did! Even after he told
