It had been a week and I was avoiding the martial arts. I wasn't made for this class. A strong hand picked the sealed bottle of water. He sat next to me. He twisted the lid and finished the bottle in one big gulp.
"Wow!" I turned my gaze to him.
Jasper grinned and put the empty bottle with a thud, "What's the plan for today?" He asked, arching his brows.
I shrugged my shoulders, "No classes, no job." I smiled.
He leaned back and looked at me, "Where are your friends? Aren't they taking you out?" He asked, with a twist at the corners of his lips.
"Can I go out of campus?" My voice was full of excitement. I wasn't minding coming to the cafeteria in my pajamas and full sleeves warm top. I brushed my hair before getting downstairs.

Walking toward the door, I clicked on her number. She answered in the first ring, "I was waiting for your call." "You already knew it," I giggled, attracting attention. "It's the weekend," I could imagine her rolling her eyes. "How are you, and mom? Is she fine? She's not having nightmares." "She's getting better." My feet halted. I inhaled deeply, tears welled in my eyes. I wasn't bothered that I was laughingstock, though, I ignored them as they weren't around her. It made things easy. "I'm so glad to hear it," My voice cracked. "Are you crying?" "No! Ava. I always wanted to hear it," "Did you meet any hotty?" "Hey! Don't change the topic." "I'm not talki
I was secretly wondering why I wanted him to talk to me so desperately. I couldn't ignore the twinge of sadness. I'm craving closeness and passion. Why? It's only for him. I expect everything from him. I'm crazy. A strong hand stopped holding a small cup. I looked up. I felt a shiver of excitement, "You came back." I jumped on my feet and wrapped my arms around him. I didn't understand anything. He made me feel safe with his burning eyes too. His hand softly rested on my back. I relaxed more. He cleared his throat. I giggled softly. My cheeks flushed more. I stepped back. He held the cup out for me. I peeped in, "Hot chocolate?" I grabbed it immediately. It must be a coincidence. He doesn't know my taste. Does he? "Th
The intensity in his eyes made me shiver. He was leaning against the tree trunk. Dread and attraction coursed through me. He made me feel things I hadn't experienced before. His gaze turned to Alessandro. Jasper, Daniel and Carlos were also presented in the room. It felt as if they were talking with their eyes and replying with slight nods. "Guys," I was tense. I was still in the passenger seat. I didn't remember what happened with vampires. No one was harmed and it was a big relief. Their gazes turned to me. Dastien took a step closer. I could smell his natural aroma in the air. "Are you okay?" he asked. I nodded immediately, blushing, "I nodded off." The jumping vampire flashed in my mind, "Oh Ghosh! Vampires!" "T
He abandoned his barbell and switched to the chin-up bar. His face wasn't giving any expression of pain or anything. His eyes were already on me. I didn't look at my reflection. I must be looking like a drowning cat, dishevelled hair, I wasn't expecting him, doing the workout. He pulled his heavy body several feet off the floor with his massive biceps. He didn't break his gaze. I yawned again this time in a pretending way. I was feeling tired. I slept late or woke early. I broke my gaze. I was into him fully. I wasn't looking at him, but he was hovering over my brain. My eyes met Daniel, Carlos and Jasper. I waved my hand at them laxily. They greeted me with their smiles. I walked over to the bench. I sat on it. I rested my cheek against the glass window and closed my eyes. "Emma," My eyes opened and a smile stretched over
I woke up with the chirping of the birds out of the window. Lazily, I pushed myself up. But the rooms seemed empty. Silver hadn't returned yet. I didn't have my phone with me. I was getting used to it. I want to stay alone but it'll scratch the wound more. A knock on the door made my head jerk at the door. I glanced out of the window. It was dark. Swiftly, my eyes drifted to the clock. Four o'clock. Another tap on the door made my head turn to it. "Go away," I shouted and hoped he would go away. The door clicked. My eyes widened. The door opened, emerging the most powerful man. I bolted on my feet, "Get out of my room." I said with raged breath. He smirked, "Training time," He said and spun.  
After attending classes, I was finding a spot to hide myself. I didn't want to attend martial arts. I loved my bones. No one wanted to understand that. I walked over to the narrow path, lawn on both sides. My pace was slow, eyes wandering around. My gaze stopped at the old tree. Pacing forward, I sat resting my back against the trunk. I slipped my hand in my bag and took out the book. These books contained every information I needed to understand them. I huffed in a lungful air when I opened the book. I didn't tell my friends about skipping class. They would force me in. "So, here you are," I screamed and the book jumped out of my lap in the air. Alessandro
They always looked confident, so I tried to channel some of that confidence in me too. I shook my head. I could never gain swiftness and speed like them. Only in dreams! Professor Megan thinned her lips, "It's a simple move." She encouraged me. But it wasn't going to work. I can learn until I show interest in it. I was going to run out of the class as my friend or nothing else was at stake. "It's just a punch," She said, her expression turned annoyed, eyes hard on me. My gaze turned to my beautiful nail, painted blue. I didn't want them to break. I shook my head again. Frustrated, she glared at me, "Get out of my class." She shouted, pointing at the door with her index finger. I rushed out immediately. I forced my anxiety down. I was afraid
I woke up early today. I took a quick shower and changed into a black lagging and a black tee. I sat on the bed with my book, waiting for the knock to echo in the silence. I wanted to stay inconspicuous but that seemed impossible when I was surrounded by werewolves with incredible strength and powers. I wanted to finish the book as soon as possible, but the fat book always challenged me. I couldn't concentrate on the book. I didn't know. Where is Dastien? Indeed, I don't know anything about him, his business. Is he a student or a professor or just a residency here like Mr Wolfe? I shouldn't... I couldn't even bring it on the tip of my tongue. Emotions have died inside me after seeing my mother. She is still crazily in love with him. It took me years to build myself, never let anything affect him. Dastien broke into my heart easily, more easily than easy. I act like a crazy pup around him. I was unexpectedly annoyed a
THIRD PERSON's POV Silver slid under the duvet with her. The air was full of tension, silence was making it worse. "What are you doing?" Elizabeth asked, worry written all over her face "Look at her," Silver peered down at her and placed the back of her hand against her cheek, ''Her skin is cold. Her lips are turning blue. We can't let her die. She's our friend." "I've talked to mom. The book is the only solution." Elizabeth said, flickering her gaze out of the window. The night was dark, with no star, no moon. "How could Dastien leave her to deal with everything on her own when she doesn't know a thing about our world?" Silver muttered, under her breath. They were worried and frighten
"Are you okay, Emma?" Teal asked. I nodded my head. My gaze caught the dark leather tome. The sparkling increased and it burst into the air, it threw the book into the air and it tore into thousands of tiny pieces. The part of my brain seemed to shut off. My pulse quickened, "What's this?" I asked. "We broke the spell," Sap whispered, still in shock. I was staring at her, "Why am I precious? You know everything about me, indeed everyone." I swiped my gaze on Carlos. He returned the gaze but didn't utter a word. Sap glanced at Teal, her expression was nervous. "I need to know what's happening to me? Why am I cursed?" I never dared to ask this. Never. "You're cursed by a powerful Quee
In the morning, the sun peeked out over the tops of the mountains. I woke up with a jolt. I saw the beasts in my nightmare. I could hear the weak voices of my friends, "You're dreaming. Relax." When I opened my eyes. They were looking at me, lying next to me. I pushed myself up and climbed down the bed. I walked over to the window with sleepy eyes. A slow smile appeared on my face. There was a beautiful picturesque in front of me. "It's beautiful," Silver said. "A beautiful trap," Elizabeth murmured. "Why?" I asked, still looking at the view of hills and morning sun in front of me. "Some witches are so strong that they can destroy the world. They are full of evil."
"Wao!" I looked at the ceiling to the walls and floor with wonder. It looked like a simple house from the outside. But when I stepped in, the floor was made of polished wood, the walls were of stone, the roof was of glass, wood, and aluminum. The furniture was of dark wooden, dark and coffee brown curtains, some ancient paintings were hanging on the wall, "Your house is amazing," "I was telling the same," Silver said, giggling. Elizabeth paced toward me. I took a step back, Jasper's hand around my shoulder stopped me. " I wanna keep it," I said. "You're hurting yourself and us. You know she didn't mean to hit you." Elizabeth said. I shrugged my shoulders. I couldn't seek their help at every moment. "We shouldn't do this. We should hear you." Silver sighe
They'd really transformed into a badass. I grabbed my backpack. It was heavy for me. My phone buzzed. I took it out of my pocket and stared at the message. 'Samantha has asked for your number. Is she troubling you?' I sat down on the bed and clicked on the reply. I typed quickly. 'No, everything is fine.' I grabbed the bag and got up, hauling it behind me. Mom was waiting in the hall. My phone buzzed again. I clicked on open glancing down. 'I didn't give her your number. ' "What's making you frown?" She asked. I softly bit my lower lip, "Samantha wanted my number but Drake refused her." I told her. Was it wish? Soon, I'd know from her reaction. "He did the ri
I felt all the more dreadful. Cassandra was hovering over my head. Her gaze cut through me and I felt paralyzed. I pushed myself up, drifting my gaze around. "Finally you're fully awake," Cassandra said, with a smile. Her real smile astounded me. Werewolves tearing heads from their bodies, dead bodies, faeries fighting, faces of king Ricinus, King Kelstov, Prince Stipe plagued my thoughts. "I'm not married, right?" I asked with a scared tone, with big eyes. My chin began to tremble. I held my tears. They fed on human pain. They tormented humans and mocked their suffering. I swung my legs off the bed and padded across the room. It was a different room. "You're not married." She said.
I opened my eyes. My cheek was pressed against something cold. I forced my eyes to open. I saw logs burning and people sitting around it. It was huge and in the shape of a pentacle. The flames were so tall that I could it above their heads too. I could feel the slight heat. But the cool wind made it worse. My body trembled when I saw bars. I pushed myself up, jamming my hands against the cold metal. I heard laughter. My gaze drifted around. I was caged. The mocking, monstrous faces looked at me. Dread rolled through my belly. I drew in a sharp breath when I felt a sharp pain at the side of my head. A hand waved and I saw dark smoke in the air. I fall back on the metal ground. I tried but I couldn't gather the strength to sit. I held my hand to my temple. It hurt when my fingers pressed softly. Where are you
My eyes opened with a snap. Dastien! I could feel the pain again in my memories but it felt real. The terror permeated my skin and seeped into my bones. All faces turned and lingered on me, and I clenched my teeth to suppress a shriek as I pushed myself up. My gaze darted around. I wasn't in my room. The walls were red, ancient, expensive furniture, their room was definitely royal. King Kelstov was leaning against the doorframe. His yellow eyes were still on Elizabeth. Arms curled around me, taking me in a choking embrace. I saw Mary grinning with tears. "Girls, careful. Don't hurt her." She muttered. They pulled away immediately. They were grinning but I could see tear tracks, slightly swollen or red eyes. The skin of my cheek
After two hours of driving in the deep forest, Mary announced that we'd walk. Trees were so thick that the sunlight hardly reached the ground. The sound of wild animals could be heard. Somewhere from the direction of the forest, an owl hooted. In response, my heart thrummed. "It gives an ominous feeling," I told them. "Dark magic!" Mary said, looking forward. Her feet didn't stop for a second. I gazed at Elizabeth for an explanation, "This place is secured by Dark magic. Only a dark Faerie king can do this." "King Kolstov," I said his name in a whisper. My legs were throbbing, "Can we rest for a while?" I was forcing myself to walk. "I can pick you up," Silver grinned at me. We kept walk
