If someone told me even a few weeks back that I will be carried in bridal style by Tristian,then I would have laughed my guts out. Yet,here I am, curled up like a ball in his arms and even though I should resist and tell him to put me down, I don't. What the fuck is wrong with me?
Silence spares my thoughts for the time as I rest my head on his chest. So warm. Maybe it's the cold that is making me clutch onto him like that. But, ain't I a feminist? I should walk on my own. But the pain…
The trees clear out in front and the light of the sun makes me squeeze my eyes shut. I guess I can walk back to my dorm from here. But Tristian does not stop and keeps walking with me in his arms towards the... academy!
"Ahem...I think you shouldn't do that." My cheeks burn red and I don't dare to look back at his eyes.
"There are a lot of stairs. I won't let you walk up to your
"I wouldn't have talked about it to anyone. Because I want to hear your explanation first." I raise my head and look at him.SilenceHe keeps looking at me for a prolonged moment of silence. His head tilts and his eyes dig holes into my face. Parting his lips, he speaks , "I cannot trust you on that."What?My fingers clutch the bed sheet and I speak up, "Why?" It comes out of my mouth even before I could think. Damn it!"I have my reasons. But I do need to ensure that you don't discuss it with anyone.""I need answers first!" I narrow my eyes at him, "What was it?"Tristian raises an eyebrow, "What was what?""Oh, don't you act innocent! By the look of yours, I can tell that you know what I am talking about. What was the creature that attacked me? And why?" I cross my arms over my chest an
"No! No,no,no,no!" Tessa shakes her head frantically, "you're not going to go outside for training after what you have done to yourself. You'll stay here and rest until you feel better." She crosses her arms over her chest.I sigh. Kind of had the feeling that Tessa will be against it. But I need to get out. I have to check that tunnel and see if my suspicions were right or not. "But I am fine! See?" I show her my arm, where the injury has already started to heal."I said no means no. You're not going anywhere. I'll go to the canteen and get some snacks for us. You stay here until then." Tessa closes the wardrobe and walks out of the room.I smirk. My Tessa is so naive.Wearing a black hoodie top, I pull on the hood over my head and strut towards the door. My hand twists the door knob, but the door doesn't open. Huh? I try again and again, but it doesn't open. Bl
Turning around slowly, I find Alex standing a few feet away, his green eyes shining under the moonlight. He walks towards me and speaks again, "What are you doing here? And how's your arm?' He bends his head and his eyes scan my arm."It's fine." I tug a bundle of hair behind my ear and look back at him," I'm just roaming around."Alex cocks his left eyebrow, "At night? In this condition? And out of all the places you chose to roam around the back of the academy in front of the storeroom?" He points his thumb at the door."Fine! I was trying to practice my skills. I guess you've heard it by now." I stare away from him. It reminds me of what Jessica said to me. And I am still not done with qualifying for it."Yeah." Alex licks his lips and looks down at his hands, "you know…" he stares back at me, "I don't believe those stupid rumors. I think you're a very
Thud!I slam the door behind me and lean on it. Phew! Exhaling a breath of relief under the closure of my room, correcting Tessa and my room, I hop on my bed. This day has been so mentally exhausting that I literally feel my head throbbing in pain more than my arm. I flip over to my front and stare at the wooden ceiling above me. The blades of the fan rotate like my thoughts. Everything seems to come back at the same point. And most of it goes around Tristian. Why am I so preoccupied with his thoughts all the time? It's frustrating! I draw a cushion close to my chest and put my head over the soft, squeezy fabric. Sometimes it's better to stay like this rather than go with all that hard work. I wonder whether all of it will be fruitful in the end or not.I pull out my cell phone and open my Instagram. Ninety nine plus notifications, hundred plus requests flash over the screen. Involuntarily, my fingers tap on the search op
Sometimes it feels like the hurdles that stand in front of me are too big. Extremely big to be precise. And they come with a price of going for them. As are the students laughing behind me since I fail again to tap into my powers.Professor Sheila stays silent this time and sighing in defeat, I walk back to the crowd. The mocking stares around prickle my skin like sharp needles from every corner, but I keep my tears at bay. When was the last time I felt so helpless?"And she calls herself Luna...Lol." one of the students among the crowd giggles while the rest try muffling their laughter with their hands. I hope this class ends soon. Tessa beside me glares at them, making them silent in the process and turning back to the class.Time flies so fast that I never guessed when the roles have reversed. It has been me in the beginning who used to be the brave protector, willing to scrunch out som
At some point of life,a person feels abandoned by the people they expect will be giving them some importance. And I am just pulling out this topic in my head because it's a line written in this book that's being crushed under the pressure of my nails. It is NOT at all relevant! Yet anger pulses through my veins like the stitches of a fabric. And my eyes dig imaginary holes into the poor page of the book that became my target the moment I entered the library. Poor one was sitting in peace under the warmth of the shelf.A guy beside keeps his gaze fixed on the shelf in front, yet his hands tremble to pull out any book. One or two times, his eyes fall on me and fear grasps them. He must be searching for a horror story. But I certainly don't look like a ghost!'I highly doubt that–given the way you are holding your book.'Thud!I close the book, making the guy
My breath hitches at the charming smile and those deep set baby blue eyes. "Eavesdropping isn't good manners, barbie doll." He leans closer to me, his thumb tracing my cheek. "I-I-" Nothing comes out of my mouth except air. Bloody hell! Why am I stammering? Tristian exhales and pulls away his face,his soft eyes hardening. "What were you doing here? And how much did you hear?" I gulp in the lump formed in my throat. Get a grip on yourself! Clearing my throat, I manage to speak. "Ahem...I didn't hear much but what were you talking about?" "Nothing of your importance, love." Tristian smiles, his eyes glittering under the light of the night lamps on the corridor. I clench my teeth. I pretty much guessed that he wasn't one of those to talk about the secrets of this academy. His arms that are holding me capti
"So, what's in your head?"Tessa sits on her bed and looks at me with a frown."It's simple." I start. "We need to stay away from our 'fated' mates." I bend my first two fingers in a quoted gesture."I know…But how are we going to do that?" She folds her leg on the bed and puts a pillow on her lap."We stay inside this room after the classes are over."I point my index finger on the floor."Umm…" Tessa scratches her head. "...but don't we have classes to attend?""Yes, we do." I put my arms on my hips and start walking around the room. "But we need to avoid staying out after the classes are over. We will stay here once the classes have finished.""But what about Alex? We won't be able to meet him if we stay inside. And you forget that we need to practice our skills. We can't do that around the four
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
