Sapphire's POV.My eyes zeroed as I whispered in shock, “You?” I instantly stood up from his lap as I demanded to what he did to Cameron. “What did you do this time, Aleric? What have you done to Cameron?!” I demanded, but this Biker Devil had a grin on his cheek like I was spouting nonsense.“Why not have a seat and let us talk?” He asked, placing hands on the table as he rested his chin on his knuckles. “It's been a quite some time since we last bonded over a conversation…" “I have no interest in speaking with anyone who behaves the way you do. Now, answer my question. What did you do to Cameron and where is he?!” I demanded again.“Sassy and stubborn as always, huh?” He smirked. “That wasn't what I asked. I need answers, Aleric. Where is he?” I questioned, my voice rising because I was fucking mad. What's wrong with him? Why can't he just let Cameron be away from our issues?! I bet he wants to get back at him for kicking his dickhead the first day I came to Campus, but what do
Sapphire's POV. Lisa blocked my way, stopping me from going out to find Cameron.“Where do you think you are going? To cause more trouble for him? For us?” She asked, crossing her arms over her chest, glaring hard at me and I frowned.What does she mean? Didn't she also see the video? “Cameron is in pain, Lisa. Didn't you watch the video too? Won't you also help him out? He needs us, Lisa. We need to stop this!” I tried to reason, not understanding why she was blocking my path, stopping me from going to Cameron."No! I am not helping him out because I warned him, but he didn't listen. So now he must serve his punishment, regardless of what it is,” She spoke sternly and then pointed her finger to my face, “And don't you think I will let you leave here so you could go to him and bring us more trouble,” She said to me and I just stared at wide-eyed with no idea of what to say.How could she say this? “What are you saying, Lisa? Your brother is in pain and we should help me. I agree t
Sapphire's POV. By the time I got to the boy's hostel, I was stopped by the security man who was guarding the gate.“What do you want from here, young girl? There's a girl's hostel on the opposite side. That's where you should be, not here,” the old man said to me firmly.“No, sir. I came here to meet someone. Please let me in,” I asked urgently.“Sorry, but it's not allowed for a girl to be in a boys hostel. So please get going,” he said, returning to his duty post at the gate.Biting on my lip, I tried to figure out a way that I could make him open up the gate for me.I walked up to him, trying to speak to him again. “You don't understand. I know girls aren't allowed here, but it's urgent. A friend is badly injured in there and he needs my help. I can't leave without seeing him, Sir,” I pleaded.“Are you talking about… Cameron Herring?” He asked wearily, and I nodded almost immediately.“Oh no, there's no way I'd let you in, young lady,” he disagreed, and my jaw dropped open becau
Sapphire's POV. “What are you doing here, Sapphire?” He snapped, his tone unusual hard on me, but I didn't notice because my heart was In pain by the sight before me as I approached Cameron slowly, tears almost streaming down my cheeks. “You're_hurting,” I whispered in heartbreaking voice, choking on my words as I crouched down to his height. I cupped his bruised face in my hands, “Aleric was the one behind this, right? I am so sorry you have to pass through this. It's all because of me. It's all my fault that you are in so much pain, Cameron…" “Get your fucking hands off me, Sapphire,” Cameron spat harshly, making me flinch by his rigid tone as my hands fell to my sides, staring at him with wide eyes, surprised by his sudden change in demeanor and tone. It wasn't that soft, sweet tone I was used to. Now he spoke to me harshly, just like Lisa always did when weren't on good sides. “Could it have been because of the condition and situation he was in? No one would be in such cond
Sapphire's POV. “Go away from here, girl. Your friend can't be released without Aleric Dolce saying so. So just get out. If you want your him to be released, then you should plead with Aleric, not me,” he said, then shut the gates before my face. Turning away, I realized that he was right. It was Aleric I needed to talk to since everyone seemed to respect him so much, including Cameron, to the extent that he would rather stay there and complete his punishment than to come along with me. I needed to speak to Aleric, but this time I'd do it more calmly, unlike the last time when I stormed into the basketball court to put Aleric in his place but ended up being harassing and bullying me before the Bikers. I left the boys hostel premises and went back to the cafeteria where I saw Aleric still seated casual at the table where I had last seen him, but this time, Matteo stood behind him. I took a deep breath to calm every nerve that might end up spiraling out of control in me as I kept m
Sapphire's POV.How low did he think of me that he even called me a slut! Damn it! “Hey hey hey, shush,” he pressed his finger on my lip, shutting me up. “You are the one who came to me for my help and not the other way around, okay? So stop yelling all the time,” he warned, and my face wrinkled at his words.“You begged me to release your boyfriend, and I told you what to do if you what him to be released. Yet, you're yelling at me, huh? By the way it seems right now, I guess you don't love your so called boyfriend since you can't fulfill a simple task,” he said with a scoff, sliding his hands into his pants.“I'd rather lick a muddy shoe with my tongue until it's clean than to do what you are telling me to do!” I spat through my teeth, my hands fisting at my sides.The next second, I felt my back slam against the wall behind me with Aleric's hand choking me up. My amber eyes flashed with the look of shock across them, staring into Aleric's burning golden gaze as he hovered above m
Sapphire's POV. I was about to run an instant slap across his face, but his hand caught my wrist midway slapping him, my red face growing angrier as I darted my gaze from my wrist which he held sturdily in the air to his face which unexpectedly held a pleasant smirk and not that of pain, annoyance, or anything close to what I had expected.“Your sweet lips still taste exactly as I last remember; Honey mixed with strawberries,” he whispered, his thumb caressing on my lower lip, but I turned my face away. “A nice choice of lip gloss, bumblebee,” he pat me head, wearing a grin and if looks could kill, then he would have been long gone by the look I shot at him, my blood boiling like within me. “You don't need to stare at me that way, bumblebee, because you don't look scary. You look more like an adorable angry bird,” he chuckled at me, but I didn't find any of it funny! I jacked my wrist away from his grip, biting hard on my inner lower lip with my teeth, trying to hold in the anger
Aleric Dolce POV. While we were in the cafeteria, I gave Sapphire those options I did back there because I wanted to test and know how much my mate really loved that weak asshole she called a boyfriend. He wouldn't even mind breaking up with her in order to escape from my deadly beating last night. Scoff. 'What a loser.' And it was more disappointing that my mate cared very much about him to the extent that she pleaded and begged me to release him. To be honest, I would have released Cameron with just one word from Sapphire because obviously, my wolf would have dominated my mind and made me do things I wouldn't want to do sanely but thankfully, I controlled him by not listening to all of his whispers into my head, telling me to listen to my mate and just do whatever she was asking of me. Instead, an insecure thought took over my mind. I wanted to know just how much length my mate was willing to take in order to get her lover boy released from the punishments I gave to him last
Aleric Dolce POV. Sapphire quietly handed the marriage documents to me after signing them. Her face was as red and round as tomatoes and I was sure she was mad at me, she despises me in fact but I was doing it for her own good.I knew if she went ahead with the marriage and Keisar somehow finds out about the magical powers Sapphire possesses, he'd what to use it to his advantage and it might turn out to become more disastrous than we could ever think of.That's why I needed to change my plans. At first I wanted her to leave the pack, far away to where Kaiser would never think of but no! She has always been stubborn and nothing had changed about her in these past few years.I agree that I fucked up. At first, I brutally broke her heart after I had purposely made her fall in love with me, then after that engagement day and I saw her in the garden with kaiser, I was fully convinced that maybe she had found a new lover but I couldn't accept that Kaiser would be the one. I knew Kaiser was
Sapphire's POV.'Get married to him? How can I do that? I'd rather be married to someone I know nothing about than to be married to a heartless devil who can't keep promises and keeps breaking trusts.'I sneered, ignoring him as I responded to the driver. "Give me ten minutes, I will be right there. In the mean time, I will book down a flight to India. I believe the doctors there would know the cure." I muttered, opening the door to step out. "Where are you off to?" I heard him demand behind me but yet again, ignored him like he wasn't there as I swung the door open and walked out. "I am talking to you, Sapphire. You don't walk out on me!" He growled, pissed off by my attitude but who cares? I didn't, so he could go to hell for all I care.I turned to him, glaring. "You don't command me, Aleric, even though you are the alpha of the pack. And NO, I will never agree to get married to a devil. You heard me when I said I will arrange for Aunt Karissa to be flied out of here to where she
Morgana's POV:FIVE YEARS LATER………“Noah!” I called out, tying my hair back with a band.Where could he be? Suddenly, I bumped into someone. Looking up, I saw it was the cook in her white apron and cap. Sighing deeply, I asked, “Where is he? Please tell me you found him.”“I couldn’t find him, Ma'am,” She replied, her head hung low. “This house is huge; he could be anywhere. I had the maids search everywhere for him. We’ll find him soon, I promise.”“I hope so, Lola. Xavier is on his way back, and he hates it when his rest is disturbed.”“Don’t worry, ma'am. We’ll definitely find him before Sir returns, trust me…”“I found him!” Someone called out, and we hurried toward the voice.We entered the library and saw a maid standing by the door.“Where is he?” I asked.“Behind the third shelf,” She replied curtly. “You both can leave now,” I instructed. “And please shut the door behind you.”I moved behind the third shelf to find my sweet pie crouched down, his head hanging low.“What's
Sapphire's POV. "You'd need to learn more about your new found powers before trying to unleash them on others, okay, little duckling?" He said with a poke on my forehead that made me whimper as my brows immediately relaxed.. He had thumbed my head with his finger and it hurt me real bad that I can't help wincing as I frowned."What's wrong with you?! Why did you do that?" I complained, rubbing my forehead."To make you relax your ugly face because it made you look far worse than a ugly duckling, " he snickered. I sneered and tried shoving him away, "Get the fuck away from me before I scream, and when I scream, you wouldn't like the whispers, mockery, and gossips that would flare up around the pack house. So save yourself the humiliation now that I am still quiet! " I gritted, twisting my wrist in his grip as he pinned against the wall while i wriggled my waist and body but my body suddenly steeled when I felt his hands holding my waist on both sides, pulling me close to him.He gri
Sapphire's POV. He laughed, "You should know me better than asking me this, Sapphire. A devil will always be heartless in order to get what he wants and I want you to leave. You can either do this or keep on carrying your aunt to all the hospitals in Lykoria Pack until you finally take her corpse back home in a coffin," he said and I lost that last string of thread that was holding me back from unleashing my fury at Aleric who still had his back faced to me.A dark gloomy power blurred every sanity I had In my mind, over powering it with an urge, strength and power of magic I had never felt before. The powers spiralled through my veins and all over my body and I directed all that powers at the one person responsible for my rage as I subconsciously murmured a spell I never thought I knew, the words engraved in my gloomy, dark mind and the next thing I heard was a loud groan as Aleric crumbled to the ground, wrenching and groaning in pain as he clutched onto his chest. "Arghhh!!!" H
Sapphire's POV. As I stood frozen, a deep, velvety voice pierced the air, "What's the topic all about here, gossipmongers?" I froze instantly. His gaze swept over me, and I felt a shiver run down my spine. "And where are you heading to, little duckling?" he asked, his golden eyes narrowing slightly as he took in my disheveled appearance.I was a total mess in appearance after all my frantic search for an hospital that will take in Aunt Karissa. There's one else but this asshole standing before me that I hold responsible for everything that's going wrong in my life. He's such a bad luck. I stuttered, my eyes wide with a mix of fear and anger. "I-I..." My voice trailed off as he tilted his head, awaiting my response.'Why am I scared? I was pretty mad a while ago, right? I promised to lash out at him on my way here because of what he did, but then, he is right before me and I should be doing what I made up my mind for, yet I couldn't. What has he done to me? No no. I can't be this s
Sapphire's POV."Get ready quick. We need to leave for the Packhouse before the royal guards would match all the way here to get you," She laughed, clearly wanting to put more fear and pressure in me so I'd back off but I will not. I do anything to see Aleric's spirit crushing into nothing while he watches me getting married to Professor Kaiser. "Ow!" I dashed my gaze to Aunt Karissa who I heard let out a painful cry. She gripped her tummy with moth hands while her face twisted in pain."Aunt!" I got up and fled to her side, supporting her as my face crumpled in cimfusion. "Aunt, what's wrong? What happened to you?" "I-i" she couldn't say out the words. The pain must've been so unbearable for her to speak "It's okay, keep calm, you'd be fine, Aunt." I whispered, leading her to my bed and she sat gradually on it but then let out a screeching cry as she unexpectedly fell on her knees."No, Sapphire. I c—can't." She cried balling herself on the floor. "I can't bear it, Sapphire." A te
Sapphire's POV.A week had past on, and i had just a day left to be wedded to Professor Kaiser. Aleric had made sure to plan out the whole wedding event in a heartbeat. The engagement and marriage ceremony were both going to be happening tomorrow and I felt pale as hell.I sat on a stool before my dressing table as I combed through my hair with a brush in my bedroom. All brides were meant to be happy and excited about their weddings, right? But mine was different. I wasn't excited for this wedding, instead I felt an heavyweight of dread in my chest towards this marriage. I had always wished and dreamed to get married to Mr. Right. I prayed to get married to someone I love and who would love me back, give me a princess treatment like my dad always did to me and worships the ground I walk on the way my dad did to my mom. They were truly a lovely pair. That had always been what I wished to have in my life but here I was, getting my mind made up to let this marriage happen and all for
Sapphire's POV.I glared hard at the camera as I spoke through my teeth. "So this thing had been in my room all the while? How and why did you do this, Aleric? I guess you put it here that night when you made those stupid, damned promises to me and I foolishly believed them! I even gave myself to you without second thoughts but what did you do in return, you bastard lier?!" I asked, seething."You did not only break that promise, you installed this nonsense in my room! A freaking camera all because of what reason, Aleric? Just to spy on me? To stalk me and know what I am up to? This is bullshit! This is a fucking bullshit and it shows how low you're willing to go just to have me wrapped up in your life even when I don't want to anything to do with you anymore! You're damned egoistic, Aleric! I always knew you as one but I never thought it could be up to this. Damn you!" I spat. Everything I said and was happening began making my head ache badly. It became so damned excruciating and
