Matteo Rossi POV.He removed the cigar from his lips and asked, "What did you just say?"I watched him stand tall, walking up to me with calculated steps, his golden eyes glowing and his jaw gnashing as his gum itched, about to let out his fangs as his face darkened while glaring hard at me. But you know what? I didn't give a damn as I sneered at him, "You heard me right, Aleric. I know that bitch also known as Sapphire Walters is your mate. You can't hide it from me for far too long, Dude.""She's not my mate! A fucking human can never be my mate, Matteo! Don't you know the consequences and dangers we all would be in if I'm given a human as my mate?!" He growled at me."But you are already given one by the so-called moon goddess y'all believe in, Aleric! Are you just going to reject her or you'll keep on sexually bullying her, you this motherfucker!" I retorted, standing my ground. Yes. I was fully aware that the human girl was Aleric's mate due to how he's been unusually reacting
Sapphire's POV. The following day, I got to school quite early because I was excited, I couldn't wait to see Lisa and Cameron in class. The car pulled to a halt in the parking lot and I pushed open the door as I got out of the car in a hurry while feeling bubbles rumbling in my stomach. A wide smile curved on my glistening heart-shaped lip that was painted with a pink lip gloss, and my amber eyes shone brightly under the morning sun as I scanned the vast campus for a glimpse of Lisa or Cameron when Aunt Karissa's troubled voice broke through my thoughts. "Are you sure you're okay with this old thing you have on, honey? We can quickly drive back home so you can change into something better or at least drive to a nearby mall to get new clothes," She suggested anxiously, and when I turned to her, I saw her gaze scanning the old clothes I had on my average figure with a nervous look in her eyes. Noticing how she sounded, Aunt Karissa quickly cleared her throat, "I mean, don't
Sapphire's POV. "Are you guys seriously going to mess and fuck with a granny? Don't tell me you're stooping as low as to putting your dicks into a worn-out dried hole. Or did I miss something while I was away from college yesterday?" The third biker asked confusedly and I couldn't believe he was mistaking me to be a granny! It's all Aleric fault but I had no time to lament or blame anyone, my mind filled with determination of getting to class before they caught up to me. "Don't you have eyes to see that she's no granny? A granny can't run," The terrifying man groaned angrily then raced his bike, almost catching up to me. "She doesn't look like she's running, is she sprinting or what? And what kind of outdated fashion sense of dressing is that?? Eeew, my ex-girlfriend could never wear something like that even if she's dumb," The third bike spoke aloud and I felt extremely embarrassed and insulted by his sharp words. Especially when Jeremy and the terrifying man busted out into
"Okay...? I figured out that we would be having the same class together. Isn't that nice?" I was a bit surprised to know that we would be sharing the same class even though we were in different years of college. But I guess the lecturer must've paired us into the same class for a certain project or topic, which would help the new students in college to get familiar with the topics, practicals, and projects we'll face when we get to a certain year of college. "It is very nice," I giggled with a bright smile as I fixed the glasses on the bridge of my nose but it didn't really feel comfortable so I insert the glasses back into my pocket, "Lectures would begin soon. Let's head to class, hmm?" "That's right," Cameron responded and we began heading to class. Deep in my heart, I had some troubling questions and nervous feelings rooted within my heart, but I fought hard not to let it show in my body language or expression as my cheeks were tainted red. I was curious to know how the
Sapphire's POV.The class erupted into scornful laughter at my situation and I didn't like it one bit! I could not think of any reason why they'd play such a prank on me. What did I do to them? Why have they decided to start attacking me all of a sudden? Previously, they all distanced themselves away from me, and now? They attacked me using their little but annoying antics! "Haha, this is well deserving of her! Next time she would learn to stay in her lane and not throw herself into his arms like the whore that she is after she has learned her lesson today!" A voice said before me.Her words were almost similar to those girls down the hallway, and I could guess who was behind this after what happened while Cameron and I were walking to class but I didn't want to jump to conclusions and overreact the way I did yesterday. "What. On Earth. Is. The Meaning. Of This?!" I demanded, snapping my eyes open with anger evident in my eyes as I shot them all a hard glare, taking in every one
Sapphire's POV."What on earth are you making up about me? When did I ever force myself on you? I would never beg you to fuck me. I have an impeccable home training you could never have in your whole lifetime!" I retorted, and Aleric frowned at me slightly, displeasure displayed in his eyes by the way he looked at me. I grabbed the picture from his hold and stared at it, my brows forming deep lines. In the picture, I was the one kissing the Devil instead! "What's this picture all about?" "Don't act like you don't know. It's right there before your eyes, bitch," Rosalie spat. "This picture is fucking edited! Who did this?" I demanded then shot my eyes to Aleric." I'm sure it was you. You were the one who forcefully stole my first kiss away from me, yet you made it seem like I was the one forcing myself on you! How could you?!" I yelled, yet he had an amused grin on his lips, clearly enjoying what was happening.The picture I held was taken from me when I least expected, and my gaz
Karissa Blue Rose POV.I got a call a few minutes back from Sapphire, and it sounded like she was choked up, her words coming out in sobs. Anxiety overwhelmed my whole being as I demanded to know what was the cause of her tears but she refused to tell me, only asking me to come pick her up from college and that she doesn't want to attend college again. She sounded like she was broken and fed up with everything to the extent that she couldn't continue. Worry took the better of me, and I promised to come there immediately even though I was caught with lots of dresses I needed to design and deliver soon, but nothing beats my priority, which, of course, was Sapphire. I picked up my car keys and swung the door open in haste."Miss. Rose, aren't we going to finish up the bridal dresses for the Quinn family before you leave? I thought you mentioned that it needed to be delivered in the next two days?" I heard my PA ask because I took it upon myself to sew and design the bridal dresses fo
Karissa Blue Rose POV. We drove back home, and I led Sapphire up to her bedroom, where we settled down on her bed; the room went eerily quiet, with only Sapphire's low breaths sounding in the room. I stared at her tenderly, taking both of her hands into mine, and waited for a while so she could pick up the pieces and explain to me everything that happened in college, even though I was aware of the vision I had the previous week concerning this. The vision wasn't clear enough because it was shown in fragments so I didn't really know what was going on but I knew something bad would come up, something Sapphire wouldn't be able to handle for quite long no matter how strong her mind was or how bold she was because no girl could stand seeing her pictures all over the class and be called all sort of names she shouldn't be referred to. "You can talk to me now, Sapphire," I whispered, tightening my grip on her hand in reassurance, and I saw her gulp, her gaze slowly rising to mine as h
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
Sapphire's POV. Aleric's nod crushed my hopes. “Yes, they are. Your friends are the Gamma's children.” I felt like I'd been punched in the gut. “What?!” I exclaimed, my voice barely above a whisper. Just then, a sudden thud hit the rooftop and I whipped my head to the sound in an instant. “What was that?” I gasped, my heart racing with multiple thoughts. I couldn't believe that I had been kept in the shadows for so long not knowing how much my life was in danger by being surrounded by so many supernatural beings I had thought only existed in books. Aleric sighed tiredly, showing his exhaustion as he pinched the bridge of his nose. He spoke quietly, “I know what you're doing, dude. But quit at it. She's been frightened enough now. I wouldn't want her to pass out in my penthouse.” My heart still thumping fast with my hairs standing on my skin, my y brows furrowed, confused about who he was talking to, “Who are you talking to? Do you know what made that sound?” I inquired, moving cl
Aleric Dolce POV. Sapphire sat frozen to the ground, unable to move. Her eyes were filled with conflicting emotions as she stared back at me, stunned and too traumatized by everything she had experience, dark mascara streaked across her cheeks. She wasn't meant to see this. The existence of werewolves were meant to be hidden in secrets away from the eyes and ears of every human. But those drunk baboons were too foolish, too stupid and horny that they had to transform into a wolf to have their way with her. It was against the rules of this Pack for any werewolf to molest a woman, not to talk of shifting into a wolf before the eyes of a human, so I was left with no other choice than to do the necessary as the future Alpha of the Lykoria Pack and also fulfilling my responsibility of protecting my mate, which was to brutally kill them in the worse way possible for trying to have their way with my mate and for also traumatizing her after shifting into a creature she was never meant t
