"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
A message pops up on my phone screen and I look at it while Tristian sits in front of me on my bed. "Meet me in common room immediately." It's says. A message by Alex. And it looks urgent. Did he get it?"What is it? You looks distracted." Tristian asks."Uh.. it's nothing…" I tug my hair behind my ear. "What were you saying?""I didn't say anything." His eyes observe me carefully. I hope he dosen't get an idea of what the fuck is brewing inside my head."Tessa told me that she heard you have a problem with the Shadow Society."He sighs. "It's an old tale. I don't like their old ways of doing everything. If they ruled over all of it, this academy would have been only for werewolves or for witches. They can't take in the fact that Werewolves and witches can live in harmony.""Oh. That's terrible."
"I was inside the basement of Branson and I found out that there was a book taken from the library.""How are you sure that it is from the library?" I ask."Have you not noticed that one shelf in the library has one book missing. I mean if you look at the library shelves carefully, there is a number above each shelf. It doesn't signify the number sequence but the total number of books in the shelf. I counted that shelf once and found out that one book was missing. That means only one thing is possible…""The book is the missing key to the shelf that opens the secret door to the secret library.""Bingo. I have got that book with me here." He gestured at his sling that I noticed him carrying when entering my room. I was sure that he had the material needed in it."So, what do we do now?""The plan is pret
Thinking about what happened just a few minutes ago, I wonder how I would be able to concentrate on getting the job done. Maybe I shouldn't have asked him about it. Then I would have had a more clear mind. Right now, all I can think about is what he said to me. But my steps keep closing near the library. Alex told me to wait behind one of the walls while he distracts Branson and brings him out of the library. He gave me the book beforehand to get in and open the door for the shelf which I can picture clearly in my mind.The voice of Branson talking with Alex start fading away which means that they are walking away from the library. I take the opportunity and step inside the library. It's very quiet and there are no people around. We chose this time because it's the time the library opens, so no one would be around. Not yet. As per his plan, I have thirty minutes in my hand to do the job. I look around the library to search for the shelf that
Why? Why is this happening to me at this point? I think about the situation that happened a few minutes before as I walk upstairs to my dorm. I am tired. Tired of doing things which are not even my business. Can't the academy teachers handle it themselves? Why put pressure on us students? It's all Professor Sheila's fault. I shouldn't have trusted her in the first place. Maybe she set all this up and is now relaxing in her room while my friends are arguing with me.I step inside my room and Tessa comes to me. Her forehead creases as she observes me. "Where were you for so long? I was so worried! Can you not stay in your room for one second?" I don't reply and walk ahead to my bed, ignoring all the shouts and scolds coming from Tessa. I can't do this right now with Tessa. "And where is Alex? Did he leave early?" I don't say a word and just lie down on my bed, feeling blank and depressed. She sighs and sits beside me. "Please don't do things so
"Yes Miss Hemsworth. Feel free to voice your opinion." Professor Sheila says.I tug a strand of my hair behind my ear. I was never this scared before in my class lectures. But today,when so many potential minds have the attention towards me, then it's quite scary. " I do agree with your point. It is valid. We lost one of our friends. But I won't blame the academy for it. Neither will I blame anyone here other than me. The regret of not being able to save a friend even when you possibly could have is heavier than any burden in this world." I grit my teeth to not let those tears loose. I don't want to cry in front of the class. " But I do not agree with what you said after that. You said that we are the future of this mystical world. And that is the main point. We are the future. We will be the next ones in the line who would be shouldering the responsibility to protect our community and the human division. But how will we do that if we step aw
The sky looks dark, hidden with grey clouds that hide the sun. They match my inner self. Dark and depressed. I look at the black dress resting on my bed. It was a dress I thought I would be wearing at parties. It is decent enough so I chose it today. Never thought that I have to wear it like this.Tessa holds my shoulder. "Let's get ready." Her voice is soft and sad. I nod my head and start getting ready.I have known sadness, grief, and guilt. But losing someone. Never. The makeup lays bare in front of me. My fingers stop over the concealer. But they don't hold it. As if, telling me to lay all my emotions naked. Being perfect is a standard I have always gone for. Today I would change it. I would show the imperfections. Because they are the ones that make me more alive.Half an hour later, Tessa and I walk out of the doors of the academy building. More students walk out with us. There are
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
