I stare at the staff putting the bodies of the injured students in the stretcher and taking them away. My heart drops dead at the moment when I realise that if I was a bit more earlier with my time I would have been able to save some of them. Bloody hell! I couldn't even save Sasha. A dreadness looms in the air on which I breathe and my eyes feel heavy on myself. I can't thank the MoonGod enough for saving Tessa before whatever fate waas coming for her. I wonder what would have happened to her if I had reached a minute late. I don't want to imagine it. The picture is terrifying. Though the current one isbt a bit less.
Someone touches my shoulder but I don't tilt my head an inch to look at that person. It's like I don't have the energy to even say a word. My wounds are closed and burn through my entire body. The Nurse put an ointment for it to heal fast and bandaged them. But the pain inside is more excruciating. I can't tell what's the differ
Tessa flickers her eyes open and finds me sitting on the tool beside her bed. She sits up and frantically looks around,her eyes wide open to take in the surroundings. "How are you feeling?" I ask her, praying to the MoonGod again and again for saving my best friend's life. I don't know what would have happened if she wasn't alive. I don't know what I would have done."What happened?" She asks, her hazel eyes confused.I sigh. "You passed out in the maze, under the influence of the fog and didn't wake up for a long time.""No! I remember seeing something. There was a shadow in the fog that scared me and then I passed out. Though it was definitely foggy. It was the fog before that made me unconscious. But then I woke up again and saw something being around the fog. It was hard to trace but then I saw it sucking blood. I was so scared that I—I" she holds her head. "I guess I passed out
We all take our places in the assembly hall with Tessa sitting beside me, Tristian sitting on the front row and Peter accompanying him. Alex is nowhere near, sprouting my doubts on his strange behaviour. What is wrong with him? After the fight, he didn't care to even meet me or talk to me."Tessa? Did you talk to Alex?""Yeah. We spoke this morning before the assembly. Why?" She frowns, completely unaware of the situation. Or maybe she is aware but she is not going to give in."No, nothing. I didn't get to talk to him or ask him about his condition. You know after what happens. Is he alright?" I ask, trying my best to keep my normal face up. If I somehow learn that Tessa is mixed with Alex in this, I don't know what my mental condition would be. There is that certain feeling inside that tells me that my friends are sliding away from me."Yeah. He looked fine. Tho
I can hear my own steps in the empty corridor as I walk towards the door where a group of men stand guard. They look straight ahead, but I can tell that they can sense me coming. I stop in front of them. Not because the door is closed, but because I realise who these guards actually are. "You are not allowed to go in, Miss."I sigh. I want to meet Tristian so badly. Maybe just see his face and make sure that he is doing alright. But why does this happen that whenever I am so desperate to meet him, things start going against me? There used to be a time when I didn't want him to be around me at all and at those times, he used to linger around me like a shadow. I press my lips in a grim line. "Is the Alpha inside?" I ask in the most indirect way possible because I just can't ask if Tristian is inside. Even though I call him naturally by his name when every other person calls him the Alpha, I can't do that here. Not in front of these people. It w
I stand shocked for a second, thinking about the thousands of reasons for which Professor Sheila summoned me in her office. One of them could be her asking me about my condition after the unfortunate incident. Afterall I was the sole witness to it. To Sasha's death."Okay. Thank you." I say and the lady gives a nod and walks away. Phew! I sigh and walk out of the library. At least someone remembers me. Otherwise, it appears all of my friends have just forgotten that I exist. It's stupid for me to put the blame on Tristian and have such thoughts of insecurity when all it is just me not meeting him for a few hours. Still, I can't shake the fear of losing him. It scares me to the extent that my hands go cold. Why am I so worried? I never gave a fuck about boys, except Alex ofcourse. I used to hate them. But here I am, worried about losing a guy I just couldn't meet for a few hours. How pathetic, Aurora! I shake my head at my own predicament and
It is so confusing to find that Professor Sheila's attitude changes so randomly. More than that, it's even more confusing that she handed me a chit of paper inmy palm like some secret mission. Weird. I open it while sitting in my room and find"There is a secret library behind the main Library. Find it."Huh? Secret library? I put the chit of paper in one of my notebooks, so that no one can see it, including Tessa. I want to get this thing done privately. And when she mentions the library I have the feeling that Branson knows about it very well and is related to it. But the question is whether he will allow me to enter it. The answer is probably not. But I need to test the Professor's theory. If I'm lucky enough, maybe I'll get to the entrance and will be able to find out about what shit is going on in this Academy.A few minutes later, I found myself standing in front of the library door.
"Cinn? Cinn? Salty sugars! I think she is waking up!" I hear a familiar voice calling someone from the darkness. Where have I heard this voice? Where?I flutter my eyes open to get hit by a ray of light stinging my eyes. So I shut them again. "Close the curtains." A masculine voice orders someone and when I open my eyes again, that stinging ray of light is gone. Everything looks kind of dark and blurry like my thoughts. Nothing feels or seems like it is in place. Above that my head throbs so I hold it to reduce the pain."Ugh...where am I?" I ask, my voice surprisingly hoarse and my throat hurting like ten needles piercing back there. Four black figures come into my sight, standing in front of me. I can't tell what they are. I narrow my eyes to get a clearer look. The vision slowly fades away and I find a pair if baby blue eyes staring at me with concern."How are you feeling?" The owner o
"How are you feeling?" Branson straightens his specs and looks at me but then lowers his eyes on the floor. Something tells me he is not comfortable looking at me. He is usually a very shy person,that I get but not to the point that he can't even make eye contact. But why am I so concerned by his eye contact? And why the fuck is Sia so silent? Sia? Sia? I try calling in my wolf but nothing comes out. Weird."Uh... yeah, I'm fine. How are you?" I ask and then remember that he asked me the question because I passed out."I—I'm good." He says and fidgets with his fingers. Certainly nervous. Hmm.Tristian looks back at me and parts his lips to speak. "There are some people in the meeting room who want to meet you. I told them that you are in a fragile condition."I blink my eyes. "What people are in the meeting room?"He sighs. "The S
The next day,I prepare myself to meet Alex in the common room. The day before he told me to find something that will help me revive my memory. So what I did was roam around my room and was lucky enough to find my notebook that had the chit that Professor Sheila gave me. It had the request to look for the secret library in the main academic library. It's strange, but that one thing helped me to regain all my memories of yesterday. If Branson's spell was so strong then how could I remember so much at such a short time? Wouldn't that bitch make sure that I completely forget and never remember it? Well…I put my thoughts aside and put on my dress while Tessa snores in her bed. I chose to meet him early in the morning because that is the time Tessa won't look after me and we can talk alone. Other than that I remember Tristian telling me that he will come to meet me soon but I hope it's not early in the morning. I slowly open the door knob, trying
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
