Aleric Dolce POV. After Cameron slumped to the ground like a lifeless sack, I stepped forward, my black leather boots pressing down hard on his wrist, which had gone limp and drained of all strength. He let out a loud, anguished cry as I applied pressure, and a satisfied smirk curved my lip as I watched him writhe in pain, begging for my mercy.This is what he gets for messing with me, for going against my words and having the damned audacity to date my mate!“Aleric please, have mercy on me. You are hurting me,” He cried, pleading with me as he tried to move his hands from under my boots, but I ground harder on it, his hand pressing deep into the wet soil.“Alpha, I beg you, have mercy on me! My bones are crushing! Just let me go, Alpha Aleric! What have I done to deserve this? This no longer looks like a training! It never seemed to be a training right from the beginning, but I beg of you to let me go, you are crushing my wrist, Aleric,” He kept spitting my name out of his filthy
Aleric Dolce POV. Then I turned to Cameron as I unexpectedly kicked him in his groin area because this motherfucker had defiled my words by going as far as to date my mate!What an audacity he has there.“Ouuuuuu. Damn! That must be fucking painful,” Every boy present gasped in shock, muttering some astounded words because as a boy, they could almost imagine the amount of pain Cameron felt from the kick on his manhood as he hurled up into a ball again, looking all battered and disorganized with blood seeping and dripping from his mouth and his body looking all muddy due to the wet soil.“Do you all want to know why I hit him the way I did?” I asked, and they all nodded, but even if they didn't, I'd still carry on because they all must know better to listen to the Alpha and learn from Cameron's current situation.“He is dating a human and right now, he is putting our existence at the risk of becoming known to humans. Do you know the kind of danger we'd be in if humans found out?” I
Sapphire's POV.Today was Friday and Aunt Karissa wasn't home to drive me to college because I was having an evening class.So I was dropped off at college by the driver as we drove into the parking lot and pulled to a halt. I was a bit troubled because I've been calling Cameron's line, but he wasn't reachable. Meanwhile, Lisa's line was going through, but she refused to pick up her calls.I tried calling her with Aunt Karissa's phone, and she picked up the call, but once she heard my voice she ended the line.It made me wonder why she was avoiding my calls. It's not like we had any issues, we were perfectly fine. Our relationship as friends were back to normal, but Lisa's sudden change in behavior whereby she began to avoid my calls was partially disturbing.Either way, I got out of the car, hoping to come across her today so we could have some words and also ask her why Cameron's phone hasn't been reachable ever since this morning.“Bye, ma'am,” The driver said to me with a wave
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.He turned to the other students and asked them to introduced themselves one after the other when the class door was suddenly kicked open with a bang at the wall with Aleric striding slowly and confidently into class.He was absolutely unbothered about the time he came to class and his sudden intrusion of the class activities didn't seem like a big deal to him as everyone's gazes snapped to him with Matteo following him in right after. They had their hand tucked into the pockets of their jackets. It wasn't anything new, so we weren't too stund by the invasion. Rather, I found myself smiling to finally see Aleric walking in as he got to my seat."Fuck off," He said agressively, shooing away the guy who sat on the seat next to me and the guy stood up instantly, scared of getting Aleric angrier than he already looked. "Get you dirty ass back here, coward," he growled, calling back the same dude he had shooed away. "Clean your dirty ass off my seat with your clothes," Ale
Sapphire's POV. He waved his hand at my face, "Hey, what are you thinking? Here are your books," he said and my eyes fluttered, breaking from my thoughts."Ah, um, sorry. Thank you so much," I said, smiling as I took the books from him."No problem," he replied with a dazzling smile before turning and walking away.I turned to Lisa, wide-eyed, still processing what had just happened."Who is he? Do you know him?" I asked, stepping closer to her."I’m not sure, but he seems new. He doesn’t look like a student, though, and he’s dressed differently," Lisa whispered back."Yeah, you’re right," I murmured as we headed to class, settling into our seats and waiting for the lecture to begin.As more students filed in, the door opened, and the head of our department walked in with a warm smile."Hi everyone, thanks for waiting. As you all know, Professor Andrew won’t be continuing with the course, but we have someone new to take over and guide you through the project. Please welcome your new
Sapphire's POV."Now that makes some sense. But are you saying that I have been surrounded by human eaters since all these while? Even in college?" I inquired and Aunt karissa nodded, a whisper from her lips."Yes, Sapphire. I am sorry." I smiled softly at her. "It's fine. Don't feel bad. And I am glad you told me on time, hmm?" Aunt Karissa smiled back, giving my cheeks a pat before turning to focus on the road.The drive back home was quiet as I gaze outside the window, staring at each beautiful tree we drove past. I was aware of everything Aunt Karissa revealed to me but I had to put on a pretense. I couldn't tell her that I was already aware of the existence of these supernatural beings because I was precisely attacked and saved by the same beings who turned out to be Werewolves.I shouldn't be hiding these from her but I made a promise. I promised Aleric that I wouldn't say anything about them to anyone.'Aunt Karissa knows about their existence already so I don't know if it is
Karissa Blue Rose POV.While I was away from home for about two days, I had a premonition yesterday morning when I was still in the hotel suite I had booked down for myself. It was about Sapphire getting attacked by drunk wolves, her cloth was ripped open and her skin was bleeding. She was in tears, screaming for help, begging them to let her go but they didn't listen and just before I could see more, the premonition stopped and jolted up, breathing heavily as I looked around the hotel I was in .I was scared to death. I couldn't stay back at the hotel anymore even though I had clients who were waiting for me and also wanted me to design their wedding dresses but I couldn't stay away from Sapphire when I knew that she would need my help. I needed to make sure that premonition didn't come to pass but dammit! I didn't return home early like I had planned and I was sure it already happened but Sapphire hide it away from me the way she always does when I asked her. Sapphire was too se
Sapphire's POV.We left the class for the cafeteria, and we ran into Matteo on our way in, my face colliding onto his chest as his soda spilled on me. Surprisingly, Aleric wasn't there with him as usual because Matteo used to be seen mostly with Aleric as he followed Aleric around campus all the time like a bodyguard but well, he was just his right-hand man. "Hey, I am so sorry. I didn't see you coming," I apologized, wiping off the soda drink that had spilled on me from the can of soda Matteo held."Its fine. I should be the one apologizing," He said as he handed me his hankie. "Use this to clean it off. Thankfully, the drink wouldn't leave a stain on your T-shirt." He said. If there was something I noticed about Matteo Rossi, then it would be that although Matteo was reserved and was sometimes cruel due to what Aleric commands him to do, Matteo wasn't a bad guy after all. He was a gentle and easy-going guy."Oh true. Thanks," I wiped the wet spot on my blue T-shirt off."Why do
Sapphire's POV. What I wanted and needed was for any guy I'd date or fall in love with again, to have a deep trust towards me. Cameron didn't have that, so it was clear he wasn't worthy of me neither was he the one for me. "Okay, I am on my way," Lisa answered Cameron, putting the notebook into her bag. "I will be back soon. Wait here for me," she said to me before leaving."Sure," I responded, watching her walk out through the door as she followed Cameron from behind. I took out my phone from my jean pockets to use it as a way of whiling away time, "Shit! It's damned low," I cussed, seeing that my phone was left with five bar and I might end up needing it In case there would be a need for me to call Aunt Karissa's line or the driver to come pick me up from campus.I tossed my phone into my bag with a heavy, bored sigh from my lips. I didn't feel like studying and no one was in class, meaning I was alone here and soon, I was sure I would get bored since my phone battery was almost
Sapphire's POV.I and Lisa tumbled to the ground as I fell on her, and the door came crashing open as it slammed against the wall."What the heck are you girls doing in here?!" The cleaner gasped, eyes wide open and our worse fear of she thinking wrongly of our sexuality seemed to be coming true. "And on top of each other too? Don't tell me you girls were...""No no no, it's nothing like that," I interjected, my heart hammering in my ribs as I got up from Lisa's body who was groaning underneath my weight. "We weren't doing anything of that sort. We only came here to catch up.. like have a conversation."She crossed her arms with her brows arched, "A conversation? In the Janitor's room..?" She asked with a disbelieving laugh. "Do I look like a kid to you? I know what I saw kiddo. You were making out with her!" Lisa shoved me aside, moving me behind her back as she came forward, "Don't misinterpret things here, ma'am. We aren't lesbians. And if we were making out, you would have caught
Lisa's POV. Sapphire dragged me down into the Janitor's room and slammed the door shut behind her quietly then locked it up with the keys. "Why did you bring me here? What's wrong that you had to pull me all the way from the class just to speak to me privately here?" I inquired, curious. But Sapphire had her arms crossed over her chest as she leaned onto the door, glaring hard at me. "What? Why are you glaring?" I was confused. "Quit the pretense, Lisa. I know about everything you've been hiding from me for so long. So you don't need to put on a clueless act anymore," My heart hit pit bottom the moment she said those words. What did she mean by that? "How could you? I thought we were friends and that as friends, we shouldn't hide anything from each other. But it's been so fucking long since we knew each other, yet you didn't bother to let me know? Do you really see me as someone who is untrustworthy that you can't tell your secrets to because I won't keep it within myself
Sapphire's POV. “No, ma'am. There’s been a change of plans. Madame Blue Rose has returned home early and has been asking for you.” The air seemed to leave my lungs, and I felt a sinking sensation in my stomach as my heart dropped! 'Oh No! What excuse am I going to give to her for taking so much time to get home?' A sudden horn of a motorcycle pierced into my ears and I jerked, turning to Aleric with frightened eyes. “I am counting on you, Sapphire. Don't let us down,” Aleric said on a serious note and a gulp ran down my throat nervously. I gave a slight nod of both understanding and assurance and Aleric gave me a full smile, patting my head twice before making a swift turn onto the street, riding off into the night on his wolf bike as the engines roared louder. I turned to Butler Adams who was staring at Aleric who had already ridden into the distance. “Who is he? You didn't tell me you've got a boyfriend at college already, Phire.” My cheeks flushed pink hue as I waved it
