Sapphire's POV.Rosalie's whole face went cold and blank for four seconds straight, her darting from Aleric's intense gaze to me who was hidden behind Aleric's brooding frame. She parted her lips, "I-i..." She paused, her face blushing red like that of an embarrassment as she looked away from us, rubbing her palms over her arms."The fairly good news is that I got accepted into campus again after making several appeals but the down side of it is that I have no other choice but to start afresh from the first semester at college..." She whispered, her face pale and I felt saddened.It must have been pretty hard for her to come up with this choice and decision of accepting her fate, which was to start afresh from the first level at college with other students in their first levels in this semester. By now, Rosalie should have been in her last year of college alongside Aleric who will be graduating from school this semester.Her face brightened as she waved her hand in the air, laughing o
Sapphire Walter POV "Mom, are you almost done? Dad and I have been waiting for over ten minutes! Please hurry!" I called out, excitement bubbling in my stomach."I'm on my way, honey! Just grabbing my purse," she replied from upstairs, her voice carrying down to us.I could hear my dad chuckle from the driver's seat, shaking his head with a smile. "Your mom hasn’t changed at all, Sapphire. Always takes her time, but she’s just as beautiful as the first day I met her."I giggled, my cheeks warming at his words. My dad has always adored my mom, showering her with compliments that never fail to make me smile.Sometimes, I dream of finding a love like that—someone who cherishes me the way my dad cherishes my mom. A love that lasts forever, a ride-or-die kind of love.But I remind myself that I’m just a teenager who recently graduated high school and will be starting college soon. Romance can wait; I have to focus on making my parents proud. Although I craved romance like every other te
Sapphire Walter POV. Two Days Later.****"I'm so sorry for your loss, Miss Walters," A middle-aged man who introduced himself as a lawyer from the Bank gave his condolences to me as we sat in the center of my Dad's grand mansion. It's been two days since my parent's funeral, but the tears refused to dry off. I miss them; I miss my parents' love, their playful banter, and their laughter, which always lighted up the house. I miss them so much that living alone in such a huge house was an emotional torment to me. I wiped my tears with my palm, forcing a small smile to avoid seeming rude. "It’s fine, Sir," I managed to say, my voice hoarse from crying for the past two days. "Why are you here though?" I asked, puzzled to know why a bank lawyer was there."I’m afraid I have some difficult news which you might find hard to accept," he replied, his tone serious. "But I hope you have somewhere or at least someone you could stay with.""What do you mean? I'm perfectly fine living here on
Aleric Dolce POV.Speeding down the pavement of the campus, the hum of my bike was powerful beneath my thighs, its vibrating sound sending a surge of adrenalin through my veins as I raced onto campus. Instantly, an unusual sweet scent filled my nostrils, making a hard gulp run down my throat and my golden eyes glowed due to how inviting it smelt. I could feel my wolf getting excited, his reaction to the smell was more like a warning, a feeling that he would lose it if I didn't find the source of that sweet, addicting scent and claim her soon enough.I activated my senses, riding my bike faster as I sped onto campus, my mind completely forgetting that I was racing with my gangs previously as my only focus was on finding her. My Mate. Scanning the crowd of girls who were jumping at the sight of my biker gang zooming into campus; I didn't give a damn about the college girls like I did before cause what mattered most to me was to find her, and I was sure that she was present on campus.
Sapphire's POV. I got up from my desk, packed up my books, and was ready to make my way out of the classroom cause lectures were over when I suddenly heard a small voice chiming before my desk. "Hey, girl!" My gaze shot up in surprise cause no one had uttered a word to me throughout today; their gaze filled with loath and disgust, which made me silently wonder why they gave me such a disapproving look. The voice turned out to belong to the blonde girl who had been taken for granted earlier today by the Biker Devil. Yes, I nicknamed Aleric Dolce as the biker devil cause that was exactly who he was! "Hey, girl," I smiled blissfully, happy to find someone interested in speaking to me. "I hope you were not badly hurt earlier," I asked in concern while admiring her flawless skin, brown orbs, and shiny blonde hair. "Nah, it's fine," She waved it off with a bright smile. "Aleric seemed to have woken up on the wrong side of his bed cause on norms, he would usually have fun with
Aleric Dolce Pov.I kissed her rough and hard, pouring out my raging emotions into her blabbering lips as I struggled to stop myself. My wolf wasn't even helping matters because he was the reason behind my unexpected actions. The news of Sapphire talking to some random Wolf in the cafeteria got to me by my right-hand man. I didn't want to care about it, but to be honest; it didn't sit well with me. My possessive wolf instincts got the better of me as I became curious to know who my mate would be talking to, and that too in a cafeteria. Jealousy took over me as stormed into the cafeteria just to find the fucking rascal kissing my mate right before me! Anger boiled within me, and I did not think twice before throwing a hard-fisted hit on his filthy mouth and sending him off the table as he groaned in pain, but I was not done yet.I was furious cause how dare she let someone else kiss her? A lowly gamma at that! I pulled her face closer to mine with both of my hands, growing hungri
Sapphire's POV.I ran out of the cafeteria in tears, feeling violated after my first kiss was stolen away from me by the annoying biker devil! If only I had known that all these would have happened, then I would have turned down Lisa's treat to a cafeteria even though I knew that it was going to hurt her feelings if I did that, but at least it was much better that way cause look now... Cameron was badly injured and my first kiss was stolen.I had thought my first day of college would be quiet and peaceful, not knowing that coming here would result in all these. I ran as fast and far as my little legs could take me, tears pouring down my cheeks, but I wiped them off immediately after I saw Aunt Karissa's car from afar. I slowed down, taking up my time to get myself intact and to make sure she didn't notice that I was crying before I reached where her car was parked in the parking lot on campus. I did not want to get her worked up unnecessarily all because of what Aleric did to me,
Sapphire's POV.The following day, Aunt Karissa dropped me off at college before driving off to her fashion designing company which was known all over Lykoria as the KW Models.I walked into the college building while still on high alert just in case the Biker Devil came around out of the blue like he did yesterday.My amber eyes scanned through the crowd of laughing and chattering students.I guessed they might not be having class yet while some of them walked quickly to get into class before lectures would begin. Meanwhile, I was searching silently with my eyes to see if I'd catch sight of Lisa or Cameron among the crowd but I didn't see even their shadow.I hope she isn't mad at me for what happened. It's all Aleric's fault. He misunderstood Cameron's intentions and ended up hurting him badly. Nonetheless, Aleric has no right whatsoever to do what he did yesterday and he should apologize to Cameron for seeing things differently and reacting stupidly. But I know that that proud mot

Sapphire's POV. It was Aleric but he wasn't looking down at me, his focus was on the car that almost hit me, his expression cold as his golden eyes glowed, narrowing on the driver in the car. The driver pulled the car door open and was coming out when someone else opened the door from the front seat at the other side of the car and walked up to him, scolding and flaring up as her voice rose with every word she said. "What the fuck was up with you? Were you blind that you couldn't see her in the parking lot? Why didn't you listen to me when I told you to slow down? You didn't listen, and now you almost ran into her with your reckless driving skills!" The feminine voice scolded the driver who was dressed in a white uniform with a white face cap over his head.The driver had his head bowed, eyes fixed on the ground before her as she yelled at him. He didn't try to defend himself or say a word as she continued."You know what?" She asked and his gaze glided up but snapped wider apart w
Sapphire's POV.I couldn't believe that I was the one who made such a mess here. I was blinded by the urge of vengeance.I wanted to get revenge on Aleric, knowing that Aleric hated to be around such a mess so I decided to create one, aiming to get him irritated so that way he would get mad and leave the house, but to my disappointment, this devil refused to leave! Instead, he dinned on the same mess I made."I feel so embarrassed and nervous right now. Shit! What have you done, Phire." I cussed, shutting my eyes tight. I didn't want to dine with Aleric because I always felt my heart pounding whenever he was around me, not to talk of now that he sat before me, picking up a broccoli with his fork and chewing on it ever so slowly, quietly and majestically like he had all the time in the world. I couldn't help but I feel awed by his dinning manners.I wondered if he was from some royalty I wasn't aware of... He glanced me and I immediately put my gaze down on my plate of food, my cheek
Aleric Dolce POV."Yes, I heard someone horning outside and was wondering why the horning continued because I expected the security man to get the gate but when I came out he wasn't even in his duty post. I guess he must have went out. I opened up, only for me to find your boyfrie-um I mean to say your coursemate outside," He covered up immediately I had shot him a sign to zip up his blurting lips."Ohh," Sapphire nodded slowly, her gaze darting to mine and she gave me a concise glare before turning to the middle aged man who she had referred to as Butler Adams. "You can go In now that I am here. I will speak to him myself," she said with a heartwarming smile but I knew that was a pretense.I knew that what was coming next would either be some yelling, ranting or scolding from her."Alright ma'am. But would you be having lectures today and is it going to be urgent? Breakfast would soon be ready so I don't know if you can wait to have some breakfast First," Butler Adams informed, his h
Sapphires POV:"Fuck! What the heck is he doing here?" I cussed, seeing Aleric seated on his bike with a helmet over his head, his tattooed hand which he had a black leathered hand glove on was fixed around the throttle in a grip as he kept hooting repeatedly.He seed to be enjoying what he was doing by the way he was so relaxed. Gritting my teeth, I cussed him.I was pissed and at the same time stunned! I didn't expect him to keep to his promise. I thought he was kidding, just trying to get me worked up as usual yesterday evening but no way I had underestimated this biker devil!I turned around, dashed into my room immediately and slammed the balcony doors behind me, my back pressed against it. I wanted to shut him out but fuck! I knew this wouldn't help. 'I need to get dressed and go down to meet him. I can't let him carry on disturbing our peace here. I need to make him leave before the security does that.' Aleric Dolce POV. I kept hooting repeatedly outside Sapphire's estate
Sapphire's POV."Ma'am, are you looking for something? Tell me what it is and I will search it up for you immediately," Butler Adams offered, noticing that my mind wasn't focused on what he was saying."Ah-um, no. I am not searching for anything. Really," I stammered, so I had to pause, taking a deep breath before I continued talking. "And yes, could you make spaghetti and meatballs for dinner tonight?" I added and Butler Adams nodded. "Definitely, ma'am. I will get to it right away," He said with a bow before turning to leave.Once he left I went round my room to be sure that Aleric really left and fell slack on my bed, my arms spread across as i tried to occupy the whole space. I felt so tired, yet my mind drifted to three minutes back when Aleric touched me. I wished I could just know what it feels like to taste the forbidden fruit but I knew I couldn't do that. It was against my home training.I wasn't trained to lower myself in such a way that I would let a guy who I have a litt
Sapphire's POV. I never knew Aleric was this good at insulting that he beat me at it, leaving me speechless for real!"Now, let's begin," he said, cracking his ten fingers and stretching his muscles. "Where's the supposed project now?" Aleric roamed his eyes around my room then returned it to my face. "You don't even have it set out on the table? Goodness!" He huffed a sigh, palming his forehead and I rolled my eyes at him with a sneer on my lips. "You dont have anything ready, yet you keep yelling at me like an oldie who could never be satisfied no matter what you do for her," He shook his head, puffing another wisp of smoke from his lips and it swirled to my face.Waving the smoke away from my face to avoid breathing it in I said with disgust etched on my face, "Stop it, Aleric. I hate smokes around me, especially when it's in my room. You can do that In the basketball court, college, campus, your penthouse or even your garage but don't do that here. It chokes me so please. QUIT I
Sapphire's POV. "Hey Hey, calm now. Calm down and stop cussing." I said, trying to cool her fuming temper. "I will be hanging up now. I am yet to start working on my project. I wanted to wait for Aleric but I've changed my mind. He wouldn't be of much help to me except trying to bully and annoy me," I shrugged, seeing it as a normal thing. "So I will just hand up and start working on the project on my own, I should be half way done by tomorrow for our sleepover," I informed. "Definitely, that's a good idea. I can't wait for it, Sapphire. Goodbye," she whispered into the phone, her excitement was evident in her voice. "Byeeee," I said while smiling before tapping on the red circle to end the call. "So you are indirectly calling me useless, am I right, bumblebee?" My whipped to the voice and my eyes widened when I saw Aleric relaxed against the wall of my room at the bed side, a lighted cigar hanging between his lips. " Y-you?! " I yelled but it came out to be more of a s
Sapphire's POV."Yes yes, I am on my way. I should be there by three in the evening," I heard Aunt Karissa answering through her phone, the phone pressed close to her ear as she hurried down the stairs with a small pink luggage in her left hand.I sprang up from the couch immediately I saw aunt Karissa reaching the base of the stairs, pushing the last piece of potatoe chips into my mouth as I muched on it and swallowed quickly before dashing up to her."Aunt karrisa!" I called out as I sprinted and stopped right before her. "Where are you off to? You didn't tell me you're going anywhere today and you seem to be in a hurry," I said, my gaze dropping to the luggage she had in hand. "Plus with a luggage? Please don't tell me you'd be away for long.""I am sorry, Sapphire, but it is urgent. The clients I was supposed to make bridal designs for have been calling my line constantly in the past two days. I am sorry for not informing you earlier but I really need to go," She apologized, gentl
