I flicker my eyes open slowly,the darkness around me fading away and bringing forth a blinding light.
I scrunch my eyes shut.
"It's okay. Try to open your eyes again." A familiar voice advises me and strangely,I follow.
I don't follow. Usually.
I open my eyes widely and a hazy figure waves in front of me. The haziness gradually declines and solidifies into a full body that's owned by Tessa.
Weird.
Oh wait.
"How do you feel?" A pair of brown eyes stare at me in concern.
"I-" I look around the body and eyes owned by Tessa,who I for some reason happen to know.
White walls surround the area and several hospital beds wrapped in white sheets are arranged in rows, at every interval of a big glass window lined with blue curtains.
Seems like
A week has passed since my recovery. Bedrest never felt more relaxing since it saved me from Tristian and his partner Peter's presence. Boys can't walk into girl's dorms,so are the rules of the academy.But the days went by thinking about Alex. Tessa and I tried to contact him but he was nowhere to be found after the day we threw a huge bomb of information on him.I hope he's fine. He deserved to know, but something inside me stopped me from telling. Since it's not his burden to take.A part of me feels bad for Tessa too since she entered all of this mess because of my plan to run away in the first place."Come on,Cinn. I would have come to this Academy anyway. It's not your fault." Tessa speaks out, her hands flipping through some chef book pages.I frown."For how long are you listening to my thoughts?" I ask.
"Wolf's bane!" Professor Harold's shout brings me out of my thoughts and I find myself sitting with Tessa and Tristian on my side.I don't know when my thoughts drifted away towards the idea of the fifth bloodline."For the enemies, it is a weapon. For our species, it is poison." Professor Harold holds a flower in his hand.Wisteria. I have no experience with it, but I heard tales of how it burns our skin like acid, pulling out the flesh."And do not live under the concept that your bodies will heal after it burns your skin. Wolfsbane has a prolonged effect on our body, inhibiting the healing chemicals and slowing down the process. So it may take weeks to heal from the touch of Wolfsbane. Maybe even months, if you don't have a strong system."Tristian yawns and his eyes saunter towards me. Here we go. He doesn't speak anything except his eyes
Alex stands in front of the huge window,sunlight falling on his features. We both approach him and I tap on his shoulder.He turns around, his face stoic."Alex. Where were you for so many days?" Tessa asks impatiently. I nod.Alex smiles but it doesn't reach his melancholic eyes that look down on the floor."Hey. What's wrong?" I hold his shoulder.Alex looks up,his green eyes glistening in tears and his lips pressed in a thin line. Tessa and I look at him blankly."The selection match happened and I lost it all. Later,the professors told me that I am not worthy of even being part of the lowest coven." Sobs escape his tear stricken lips and he looks down again.I pull him for a consoling hug and Tessa caresses his back. My own jaw tightens at the thought of him getting rejected like that. I kno
I stand on the stage and stare at the grey wall in front of me."Do as exactly I told before. Relax yourself and think about your desire." Professor Sheila:s voice lingers over my ear. I inhale and close my eyes. A faint image of me standing on the podium of the academy holding the Championship cup comes in front of me. I am smiling and my dad looks like a rotten egg. Great!I open my eyes and…. nothing? I look around myself,the students staring back at me blankly and Professor Sheila looking at me and her palm rested on her chin."Try again. It's completely alright. It happens."Grumbling, I close my eyes and this time an image of me ordering around the Wolves of my pack and they calling me as the respected Luna appears. A smile curves up my lips as pride fills up my heart. And a few minutes pass, still nothing. I feel no energy! Why? I open
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
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
