Sapphire's POV.“Die, Sapphire! Die! Just go to hell and die!!" Bubbles erupted from my mouth and nose as I desperately tried to speak, to scream for help, but the water choked my cries. I struggled to pull my face out of the sink, but Rosalie's grip was unyielding. She pushed my head back into the water with a ferocity that made my lungs burn. I kicked and flailed, but she was too strong.“Killing you is the only way I can have Aleric to myself!” Rosalie shrieked, her voice echoing off the walls. “You should just die already, bitch! Go to hell! You shouldn't be here, not in his life, not in this college, not in Lykoria City!”With each word, she shoved my head deeper into the water, the pressure building in my ears. I felt my consciousness slipping, my vision blurring.A knock was heard on the door, the knocking on the door growing louder, more insistent, but Rosalie didn't relent. Her venomous words continued to pierce my eardrums, echoing off the walls as my body began to surrend
Sapphire's POV. A faint smile played at the corner of my lips as I stared at the door through which Aleric had just exited, the sound of it closing behind him lingering in my mind. I laid there, lost in thought, trying to make sense of everything that had just happened today from when I was in class, to the washroom and now in the hospital. The way I had always seen Aleric, the way he had always acted toward me—it all seemed so different now, and I wasn’t sure what to make of it. Maybe I might have been wrong about him.He had always seemed like the embodiment of trouble—the devilish biker with a cruel intentions, the one who derived joy and a form of entertainment from tormenting me both physically and sexually since the moment I stepped into Lykoria College. The insults, the pranks, the arousal, the petty bullying—it all painted a clear picture of who he was, or at least who I thought he was. But now, I couldn’t shake the feeling that I might have misjudged him. Could it all ha
Sapphire's POV.I went back to her, concerned, "What's wrong, babe? Are you feeling okay?" I inquired, squeezing her hand tightly in mine but she didn't respond, making me bite on my lip because I was clueless and didn't know what was wrong.Her gaze was still locked on Matteo who also stared back at her, but then he arched an eyebrow."I know I am very handsome but you don't have to make so obvious like that. Have some shame, Miss." I heard Matteo say which kind of made me laugh heartily."Haha, you heard him, bae. Stop staring like you had just seen a ghost. It's quite late now," I took hold of her arm and pulled her towards Matteo's bike but she yanked her arm away before I could move two feets."I can't go with him. I would rather call my driver to come over and pick me up," She said my expression turned into confusion."Why don't you want to go with him? I can't leave you here. It's late," I persuaded before I squinted my eyes at her, a single thought running through my mind. "Or
Aleric Dolce POV. “Thanks for the ride.” Sapphire said to me as she went inside backwardly, her gaze on me, but I didn't respond. I made a U-turn and drove off to my penthouse… Or did I? No, I didn't. I parked my bike far away in a dark corner where I wouldn't be seen under the midnight sky, but it was also a good spot to view Sapphires bedroom through the window as I was far away, below in the dark corner. The bedroom was still visible, so I decided to spend some time alone, to get my thoughts together because things wasn't going the way I planned. I turned off my bike, the headlights dimming off as I sat on it. Bringing out a pack of cigars and a lighter from my jacket, I lighted it up, my gaze still fixed on Sapphire's bedroom window, my eyes narrowing at the lights that were suddenly turned on in the room. It meant Sapphire was already in her room. I wonder what excuse she must've told her aunt concerning her late return from college. Did she inform her that Rosalie trie
Sapphire's POV.One Month Later, Outside Aunt Karissa's mansion…“Mr. Adams, please let me go. I will be back before you know it. I need to get something urgent from a close by shop for the project that's coming up tomorrow."“But ma'am, Madam Blue Rose would be mad at me if she calls the home line, and you're not here…” I cut him off as I clasp my hands together, forming a puppy dog eyes as I pouted my lips. “I beg you, Mr. Adams. The shop would close late, so I still have some time to get it. If I don't get it now, I doubt if they would open early in the morning. Plus I have early morning lectures tomorrow, which of course, the project we'd be having will get introduced to us by Professor Kaiser. I will be back home in less than five minutes,” I pleaded, trying to persuade him and he released a defeated heavy sigh.“Fine then. You can get it but make sure to be back home in exactly five minutes. I wouldn't want Madam Blue Rose to get mad at me for letting you out at night,” Butler
I swallowed hard, my lips dried and my face white as I struggled to regain myself, thoughts and voice back. I couldn't let them take me. I couldn't let them capture me because who knows what they had installed for me? Who knows what they planned to do to me if I don't find a way to escape here. My lips trembled once Jeremy started pulling me from behind him, his grip on my slender arm never breaking as he took me to Jaguar “W-what, do you want from me? Why are you here? Let go off my arm, Jeremy!” I managed to speak, twisting my arm to break free from him, but he didn't even budge!He scoffed, “What did you think? That we would forget? We would forget the damned pain your fucking ass knight in shining armor inflicted on us all because of you? You must be dreaming if that was what you thought.” “Stop it, Jeremy! I didn't do anything to you guys in the first place. You guys were the ones who tried to harass me, so Cameron only tried to help me. You wouldn't have been beaten up so ba
Sapphire's POV. The werewolf hot, rank breath washed over me, and I felt a primal instinct to back away, to flee from this monstrous creature. But my feet seemed rooted to the spot, unable to move as I was in shock! I didn't know such creatures existed on earth~in reality. Yes, I had read stories and novels of such mythical creatures, but I had believed they were not real. I believed that they were just fairy tales~fictions written In books. So seeing Jaguar shift into a werewolf means that everything I read about them~~~everything, every one of it was true but at the same it was challenging to digest as I staggered backward, away from the terrifying creature, my lips trembled as I set my hand forward to stop it, gulping. “S-stay away. Stay… away~from me, Jaguar,” I stammered, terrified and taking several steps away from it. Jaguar growled louder at me this time, his fierce glaring down at me like a predator and his four paws taking slow but long strides towards me as I backed aw
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
Chapter 92Mirabelle's POV:The bathroom mirror was fogged up, beads of water clinging to the surface as I stepped out, wrapping myself in a soft towel. I sat at the dressing table, absently smoothing lotion onto my arms. My reflection stared back at me—tired eyes, pale skin, and lips pressed into a thin line. Who is this woman?A soft chime interrupted my thoughts. My phone lit up on the table, and I froze. A notification.Reaching for it, I hesitated. The screen displayed Noah’s name and his message: “I’m on my way to the airport. I just saw the news.”What the hell?My hand tightened around the phone. Of all times, why now? I wasn’t ready to face him. He can't find out yet—not until I gathered enough evidence to expose him. Not until I am able to make him pay for all the lies, all the deceit.But can I truly do it?Can I really put the father of my children behind bars?My chest tightened at the thought. How would I explain it to the kids? Mika would be devastated. Tyler—he idoli
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
