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
Lisa's POV.On my way to my economics class, I heard a familiar meek voice call out my name sweetly and I was already sure who it was due to my high sense of hearing abilities as the Gamma daughter of the Lykoria pack that I was. I looked a little behind me cause I could not help it, and then I saw her. Sapphire waved at me excitedly, her beautifully amber eyes that attracted me to her on our first meeting and her small heart-shaped lips curling into an adorable smile, but I didn't want to speak to her. It was best if I avoided her, to stay away from the only human in Lykoria College, just like everyone else was doing after the serious warning my father, Gamma Lorenzo Herring of the Lykoria pack, gave to me and Cameron.So I ran as fast as I could away from her, not wanting to associate myself with Sapphire anymore for the sake of my brother and to also obey my father's words because my father had his eyes on me and Cameron at college after hearing what happened in the cafeteria.I
Sapphire's POV Lisa tried to stop me but I didn't listen. I've had enough of that Biker Devil's nuisance and I needed to put an end to it! He can't continue doing this to me. He can't force himself on me and then make my friends stay away like he has any claim over me. I was not his girlfriend, his wife, or even his motherfucking sister! Lisa said I was filled with bad luck, and I was stunned by everything she said. Plus, the tone in her voice was so different from the cheerful voice I conversed with yesterday. It hurt me deeply that I could still feel my heart aching. Which was more reason why I needed to have a word with Aleric and make him stop whatever he was doing. Lisa and Cameron were the only people who came up to me so we could chat and be friends while every other student gave me a downgrading look. I won't sit back and watch that Biker Bully take them away from me; there's no fucking way I would let that happen! I stormed out of the faculty and headed in the direction o
"Ahh," I shrieked, my soul almost leaving my body as I shut my eyes tight, expecting to feel the sting of the pain on my cheek. "Stop."The whole place went eerily quiet, "Release her." His tone was calm, yet authoritative. I felt my arm being hesitantly let go by the terrifying man. My eyes slowly fluttered open. My breath hitched in my lungs as my gaze unhurriedly moved to Aleric. For the first time, I saw Aleric light up a cigarette and took a drag from it before puffing it into the air. My jaw dropped open when the whisps of dark smoke hovered over his handsome features as they danced after he had puffed the smoke in the air. He looked dangerous, yet inviting.To be honest, I knew whatever Aleric was doing was annoying, but I felt drawn to him for reasons I had no idea of. Yesterday morning, when I ran up to Lisa, I felt Aleric unknowingly graze his finger against my skin but I felt a spark that ran down my spine. It felt like an electric spark sending a surge of feelings all
Sapphire's POV."Let go of my arm and give me the damned answers I demanded you bastard," I yelled infuriatedly. I was utterly mad at him. The anger from earlier on steamed within me, but Aleric didn't say a word as he twisted my arm harder. I could feel the joints of bone twisting in a different direction like it was going to separate any moment from now if he continued."You're hurting me, Aleric! Let go of my arm!" I yelled, fighting hard to hide my discomfort. I felt my eyes slowly rimmed and glistened with unshed tears; the pain was like a gradual torture that was way more unbearable compared to when the terrifying man had gripped my jaw with his fingers. "Aleric, I command you to stop! If you don't then you'll force me to report to the president and make sure you get expelled from college if you don't end this torture! You're bullying me, Aleric. You are a motherfucking bully!" I screamed my lungs at him, my voice cracking into low sobs. "Maybe I will... Maybe when you learn
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.
