His other half

Chapter 3

Elena's POV:

Though I was on seat, I felt like I was in the air. My breathing that was steady before became raspy. I clamped my sweaty palms, tightening both hands beside me. My Ray, the teacher, rambled on, not a word from his teaching entering my ears. What I felt back then, was it a bond?

Yes, am seventeen and would be clocking eighteen next month, but I still couldn't block the thought. Was he my mate? Heck Elena, if you continue this way, you might not be able to grab a thing for the whole of this session. Taking C's or B's home to your dear Alpha father might be the end of your petty life, you know

I sat back upright, leaning my back on the chair as I focused the whole of my attention on the board. Grab something Elena, grab something!. I kept chanting to myself.

"Well, that's him."Aria voiced, occupying the seat next to me. I looked at her, my brow raised questioningly at her as I demanded an answer to my confusion.

"What?."

"You asked me back then whom Chase is."Aria gave me a dubious look. I shrugged vibrantly, snapping my eyes away from her and throwing it back on the plain atmosphere. "Now, I regret encountering him, Aria."

I launched out of the classroom, as fast as my legs could carry me. I don't know how I was able to dodge my guards and the pack securities but I know it wouldn't be too long before they come for me though. Skipping classes aren't my deals but now, I found myself doing so.

I need to grab my things at the locker and find my way out of this school as soon as possible. I flashed through the hallway and started peeping through the classes for the unrecognizable place my locker was located at. Damn!, i should have kept a mental note of the class number.

On reaching the last class down the phase one hall, my hand landing on the doorknob, I pushed the door open. I halted tragically on the spot at the same time a head snapped to my direction.

My jaw slacked, almost dropping down the floor as my eyes buldged out widenly

"Elena."there before my eyes was Killian on top a masculine body, a sword held between his hands., dripping blood on the floor. I could see blood gushing out of the victim's neck. And that's when it dawned on me, my personally assigned bodyguard just murdered someone in cold blood.

"Killian!."I slammed my palms over my mouth, quick enough to suppress the gasp that follows.

My body shock feebly at the scene, and I could imagine my face turning a white pale as I took a step back in horror. All sort of colours drained from my face, and as I heard him let go of the sword like it's a burn, it pulled me out of my short trance and soon enough, I bolted out.

Had I known, I would have endured the tensed up emotions burning up my head back then in the classroom and just stayed back.

Had I known, I wouldn't even think of getting my backpack and just run down the road like that, barefooted and no money to even foot the expenses following boarding a cab.

Even if I was running a marathon, I wouldn't be this fast, because ten times lesser than this pace I would be taking. Right now, it was as if an hyena followed by his couple folds of comrades are hot on my chase.

The school security guard could be seen just about locking the gate as one of the teachers or perhaps the school principal had just found it a time to just be coming to school. Anyhow how it is, the so called car owner drove past me to the parking lot.

I took this chance and ran out of the gate, leaving the security yelling for me to come back. "Hey, you!."

I could literally imagine him pointing at my dispersing figure as he screamed on top of his voice.

"Taxi."my voice made a little crack at the end as I reached the road and started waving over passing by cars. Since I don't know which one is mainly used to journey travellers here and there, I just continue hailing down random cars

Soon, one started slowing down and was parked before me in no time. As the driver winded down the class to get a view of my face, I somehow wished I could just hop into the car without a single questioning.

"Where to?."The driver inquired. My teeth chattered together from coldness as I embraced myself to at least mutter even a single word. But I think it was too late as I heard footsteps cladding it numerous owners down to my path. I knew at that instant, I have no other way out.

"Go. She's no longer interested in entering your filthy taxi."I heard Killian spat menacingly at the driver as he took a stop beside me.

"Princess Elena!."And there is it. The guards and my securites ushered in sync, only stopping their runs when they reached me. I turned around to see each one of them taking deep breaths, exhausted from the long run and search for me, maybe.

The driver was about opposing Killian's order but decided against it as he saw him shoot cold daggers at him. He hurriedly reversed his car and zoomed off in an instant.

I took steps back away from Killian, avoiding any closeness. I looked specifically at my driver, avoiding Killian's burning gaze.

"Get me home. Now.!"I stated firmly and was about walking away.

"She's coming with me, instead."Killian objected, taking me aback. I whipped my head to the side and narrowed my eyes at him unbelievably. Now, I see how much he would be ready to go any length just to have me in his captive.

"Derek, let's go."I gave Killian a run over and started walking away. But my driver's next sentence made my body to stiffen. "I'm sorry princess, but he's your personal bodyguard, and would know what's more better for you."

"What the heck?."I fumed, quite flattered. And not even a glance was spared my way cause within a twinkle, they were all gone, leaving me with this monster.

My heartbeat accelerates uniformly. My red rimmed eyes burning out due to how much of my tears it was doing it's duty to hold back.

He soon grasped my hand and i tried fruitlessly to swat it off but it was all abortive. Adrenaline was now coursing through my veins as he pushed me through the crowd, back into the school.

"Killian. Take off your damned unholy hand from my wrist!." I screeched. A scrowl etched across his face making me snarl back dismissively at him.

We soon reached the black Lamborghini and yanking the door opened, he prodded me to step into the backseat. Though I wonder why he isn't allowing me to take the front seat as usual, I made to enter the car.

I was almost fully in when a hand flipped across my face and in a swift, an handkerchief was placed upon my nose. I don't know how long it took for the effect to seep in, but my vision started darkening and what came next in a blur was I could no longer feel my body. I had fell into unconsciousness.
