Sapphire's POV. "What's going on? Why aren't you saying anything, Sapphire? What happened?" she asked, confusion etched on her face as I pulled her quickly into the college building without a word from my lips. Just as we entered, I accidentally collided with someone, and a searing pain shot through my forehead. "Ah!" I gasped, rubbing the tender spot with my free hand. As I looked up, I saw the cleaner glaring down at me, her expression a mixture of disgust and annoyance. Her eyes darted between me and Lisa, whose wrist I still grasped firmly while I used the other to press my palm against the soft spot. It dawned on me that I had been hit with the cleaner's mop stick. I loosened my grip on Lisa's wrist, feeling a twinge of embarrassment at the awkward encounter. By the way she stared at us, it was clear she was irritated and actually believed that Lisa and I were a thing, that we were a lesbian...'No no no, she can't be thinking that, can she?' "Aren't you going to apologize?
Lisa's POV.The classroom door swung open and our professor walked in, signaling the start of the lecture. Students began filtering in, taking their seats, although a few empty chairs remained, indicating that some classmates had yet to arrive... Including Matteo and Aleric. ****After lectures, we went to our usual hang out spot to have something to eat because we had spent about five to six hours in the lecture class and it left us feeling hungry with our stomach rumbling and growling over and over again. Sapphire and I went to the cafeteria we usually went to but the lunch didn't turn out to be as peaceful as we had planned as the bullies were at it again and it's all because of the motherfucking cleaner who wouldn't keep her filthy bag of trash shut!"Don't deny it, bitch. I've always had my eyes on the both of you. The sudden blossoming relationship between the two of you is something to be suspicious of!" She said to Sapphire, her gaze darting to mine and I shot her a deadly l
Lisa's POV. "Matteo?" I whispered, my heart still pounding in my chest. Yet, I couldn't detect a single beat of his heart. His chest remained still, his gaze fixed intently on mine as I stared up at him. The whole cafeteria went eerily quiet as I felt the eyes of everyone on us. On Matteo Rossi.I could tell that the reason they all went silent was because this was the first time Matteo had ever made such an entrance and done something like this.This was the first time Matteo was seen holding onto a lady in such a close position and who was the lucky lady whom Matteo Rossi broke his all round record for? It was me. I was the one. He did that just to rescue me, to save me from being hurt. Slowly, his gaze softened on me and I felt a shift inside me as I heard a sharp breath of relief escape his lips."Was he… concerned about me? Relieved because I wasn't harmed?" My brows furrowed in confusion, but before I could process the thought, a piercing scream shattered the moment."My fac
Lisa's POV. They wouldn't dare defy Rosalie's words because Rosalie was one of the most feared students on campus after Aleric, Matteo and the rest of the Mafia underground bikers.No one would dare defy her but why was she suddenly standing up for us? "Has she truly changed her ways or there's something we don't know about her? A motive perhaps_" I pondered, watching a few students help Jessica up and took her out of the cafeteria.The ladies who were serving didn't bother to intervene because it was nothing new for students to have issues against each other on campus but the students were sure to pay for every damage they caused and also add a tip to the payment for the extra the stress they'll pass through while fixing the damage."Hey, let's leave. The damages have been paid. You guys can have lunch elsewhere but not here." Matteo said, walking up to us but before I could say a word of thanks he brushed past us like he wasn't about approaching us and I had no other choice but to
Sapphire's POV. Lisa took me to the clinic in her car. Yes, she has one and Cameron too. So she took me to the clinic quickly In her car where the nurse did some first aid on me and rubbed a tub cream that would help heal the bruise and will prevent it from leaving a scar ony face. It seemed to be quite effective because my face stopped hurting after a while. "Okay, that's all." The nurse said after attending to me, rising on her feet then handed me a paper that contained some prescription. "Here, just get this tube cream from a closeby shop. It's the same like the one I applied on your face. It will help you recover quickly between two to three days." My face paled immediately. "Can't it heal like between today to tomorrow?" I asked, almost pleading with hopeful eyes but the nurse shaked her head with a hearty laugh. "You're so funny, ma'am. You're not a vampire or werewolf of some sort that your injury would just heal In no time. You need to give it some time for your tissues
Sapphire's POV. Rosalie swung her arms lazily behind her back, her expression hesitant. "That's good because well- I was thinking of... um..." She trailed off, uncertainty etched on her face.I raised an eyebrow, intrigued. "What is it, Rosalie? Just say it."She took a deep breath before continuing, "I'm hosting my birthday party, and I was wondering if you'd like to come. I know it's sudden, and considering our past, you might not trust me enough to accept. But I thought I'd extend the invitation anyway..." I exchange glances with Lisa, unsure of what to say.She chuckled, "It's okay to refuse the invitation though. I deserve the rejection after all—" a bittersweet smile curved on her lips. My heart twisted as I watched the sad smile on her face. I didn't know if I should accept or refuse the invitation."When is the birthday?" I inquired."Tomorrow night! Hosting it in the Starlight Club. You guys are coming over, right?" Her eyes was full of hope as they glittered and I couldn'
Sapphire's POV.The Following Day.I had an heated argument with Lisa, deciding that I was going to accept Rosalie's invitation to her birthday party and that we will just be there for a short while then we return home. No drinks, no food, just going to be present there for the sake of it so it wouldn't be like we had turned down her birthday invitation.We were currently on our way to the clubhouse. Lisa was the one driving and I was seated next to her in the front car. It was a quiet drive because Lisa was pissed off as her gaze was fixed on road ahead, fingers tightening around the steering wheel. Her parents had allowed her to come to my place for a sleepover and while she was with me, she tried as much as possible to change my mind about attending the Birthday party that Rosalie was hosting but I couldn't refuse to attend the party when I had already told her that I will be there. It wouldn't be right to just take my words back now that she was expecti
Lisa's POV. "I think she got bitten by an ant," I lied. "Also, we are fine for now. We will let you know if we need anything." Sapphire glared at me, but I ignored her because what the hell did she think she was going to do? Accept a drink at the party of her enemy who didn't wish well for her? Well, ex-enemy to be precise but I couldn't trust that motherfucking bitch called Rosalie Yates. What if she spiked the drink with poison or something that could harm Sapphire beforehand so when we walk in, she would just briskly ask the waiter to come ove and then boom! She's gone? No, no, no, I couldn't let that happen. I needed to watch out for her wellbeing because Sapphire was an easy going person with a fragile heart that forgives easily and a chicken brain that keeps thinking everyone was like her. Soft, understanding, pure hearted, and barely ever wished bad for anyone— This was the definition of Sapphires kind of person. But what she hasn't realized was that everyone were built
Sapphire's POV.As I sat on the swing, I recalled the whole truth I had overhead from the meeting room after the herbalist came and was tending to my aunt. Something about what I overheard while I was passing by made me pause in my tracks and I had to lean closer to the door to know what Lady Marinette's parents would say concerning the sudden calling off of Aleric's marriage to Lady Marinette. "You mean you're married to Kaiser's chosen mate?" I overheard Lady Marinette's mother's voice asking. "You heard me correctly." Aleric answered."Then who would get married to my daughter after what you did to her?" She demanded, her voice slowly rising. I pondered what she meant by that. What did Aleric do to her? "I don't know. It's not like I ever had anything to do with her in the first place. Am I right, Lady Marinette?" I heard Aleric asking with his usual nonchalance then he scoffed. "You can't say anything now, can you? Or do you plan on letting out your crocodile tears to earn
Aleric Dolce POV. "I will tell you. I mean, who else could it be if not the perfect, young, vibrant and trustworthy cousin of mine, Kaiser Dolce," I let out a low chuckle, amused by how great people saw Kaiser but never knew the real side of him as much as I did, including Sapphire who he was using as a pawn to get what he wants from me. "WHAT?!" They both exclaimed, shocked. "How could he want to kill us?" "Why do y'all look so surprised? Who else were you expecting it to be? Wasn't it Kaiser who informed you guys about what was happening in my bedroom that night two years ago?""He brought you guys all the way to my bedroom after instructing Marinette on what to do and how to feign victim to a rape allegation that I didn't commit while I was fast asleep because I was way too passed out from drinking that night that didn't know what was happening around me." I revealed and they were all beyond speechless. I expected it anyway, considering how clean, nice and highly they had always
Aleric Dolce POV. "A queen? I am not your queen, Aleric. I didn't want to be the queen or Luna to a dump pack of wolves' with zero sense of reasoning. Instruct them to open up the door or else!" I turned to her all of a sudden, "Or else what? You'd shout? Scream for help? Use your little powers on me? Tell me," I demanded and she reluctantly pressed her lips in a thin line as she balled her fingers at her sides. "Good, Remain quiet that way. Call your driver to bring your aunt to the Packhouse as soon as possible unless you want her dead before midnight. I can already sense that something bad will be happening soon, so save your breath and call the driver In order to prevent a funeral from happening soon." I ordered before turning forward to leave as I head in the direction of the meeting hall. **** Lady Marinette's parents of the nightcrawlers Pack were present in the meeting hall. They came immediately I had told them to come over for an important meeting concerning Marinette
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
