I couldn't say anything; my lips were sealed, and I could feel my heart racing in shock and disbelief. How was he able to find out my deepest secret? And can I trust him to help me achieve this?"You have to trust me. At this point, we both have to trust each other because we really need each other's help in having that which our hearts long for. Diana, we have to be in a closer relationship at this point. " He spoke in a calm tone, which betrays his evil aura and demonic scent.I flinched when he called me by my real name, Diana, and I gave him a narrow gaze."Why call me that name? Besides, why did you tell me to change my name? You are keeping a lot of secrets from me and you want a closer relationship and trust? You must be a prick!" I scoffed, slumping on the chair as I kept a stern gaze at him. He laughed briefly, his lips curling up into a smirk and those eyes glinting with emotions and secrets I couldn't even read no matter how hard I tried."We are different. I am the demon
"Don't suffocate me, babe," I teased under her arms, and she quickly released me, her eyes full of tears, which she kept drying with her palm as those pretty innocent eyes fell on me.I sat up with her help, leaning on the wall. She gently brushed aside the astrayed strands of hair covering my face; her face beamed with excitement. "I was so scared." She moaned, caressing my cheek as more tears fell from her eyes.I was weak, and my breath was shallow. I was also feeling a painful headache hitting my skull hard, but I kept a smiling face, feigning to be all fine, so she would have no reason to panic."Joy, how long was I unconscious?" I asked calmly, and she threw a quick glance at the clock, sighing as she turned back at me."It's midnight now. You've been out for almost six hours. That asshole hurt you badly with the slave mark. A wicked soul like him should be skinned alive!" She seethed, holding my palm gently, concern and care brimming in her eyes as they scrutinized my body. "D
Selene's POV My eyes fluttered open as I sprang from the bed after a full bucket of cold water splashed on me.My sharp shout from shock echoed through the room as I felt chilled, the water drenching my entire body."What is the time?! And you're still on the bed!!" Sophia's angry voice bashed into my head, and I couldn't even get a few seconds to process everything as a painful slap from her struck my cheek so hard that my face snapped to the right, and I almost stumbled and fell."It's our first day of school, and you want me to be late?" She yelled again while I held onto the wooden edge of the bed, wincing as I fought back my tears, which wouldn't stop spilling from the burning ache in my cheek where she slapped."Will you go and get dressed now before I break your empty head?" She blasted at me again, and I raised my head, facing her with heavy breath as my tears rolled down freely.I could see her already dressed in her pretty well-fitting school uniform, which was a white coll
"Please introduce yourselves to the class; they must be very eager to know more about you both." The teacher's face was all smiles as she coaxed them gently with respect.She said both as if I weren't in existence there, and I loved it that way, saving me from the shame of introducing myself in front of the students when I'm dressed like a street beggar. All I hoped for was that Callen and his sister won't be so wicked as to tell the entire class of my mother's abominable act because if the students find out I had link with the vampires, they were going to make me regret ever being alive."My name is Callen, my sister is Sophia, and most importantly, our father is Alpha Logan, the owner of this school." He began, his voice cocky and reeking with so much pride that I almost scoffed in disgust. Does he need someone to remind him that his father is no where close to owning this school? How has he suddenly forgot about the Lycan king or did he deliberately decides to be an ignorant assh
"Beat her to stupor!" Sophia commanded like she was a queen talking to her subjects, and that was just how it seemed because I could see the group of muscular boys sitting at the back coming for me.The fatty, chubby-cheeked guy who called me a dirty thing earlier was their leader as they left their seats and attacked me while Sophia and some girls tried to help Callen up while he groaned in pain."Don't dare touch me!" I yelled at them, but none of them listened. They caught a hold of me before I could think of running. The door of the classroom was closed at that moment as three boys held my hands. It started with slaps from two different angles on both of my cheeks, then I was swept off my feet and landed heavily on my buttocks.They were ready to beat me up, but luckily for me, a voice they feared and respected broke in just at that moment. I heard the murmurs of some of them and knew the man was the school superintendent. He came with a few security men. "What do you all think y
Sophia's POVI was lost, transfixed in a daze, the moment this young man walked into the class. It was as if my heart had been snatched away. Every part of him was calling on me, and at that moment, I knew I had found the man my heart longed for.He was so cute and had that capturing aura, which forced everyone's attention on him. I wasn't expecting such an angel in this school, and adding that he was the nephew of the school principal made him more admirable.I instantly fell in love at first sight and vowed in my heart to do everything to make him mine, which I was so sure wouldn't be a hard task as no man could resist me. We would make a perfect couple. A perfect match that everyone would only wish for and dream of.When I heard he doesn't have a desk yet, I felt a pump of excitement as my face beamed in a bright smile while I rested my gaze at him. He was going to be my seat-mate.The superintendent told us he would be sitting with anyone of his choice, and that sounded like he wa
Jaden's POVI wished to kill him right there. Each punch on his face was a trigger for another one, and hearing his groans and cry of intense pain only sent more uncontrollable urges to disfigure his face with my blows.For every pain he had caused Selene. For every moment she cried bitterly and lamented for mercy while he went on torturing her, I felt like taking his life, and even though I agreed with Selene just to beat him up and not kill him, it was so much more difficult to stop until she told me so.It was as if her voice was all my anger needed to fade away, and it was at that same moment that I realized how hard I had hit him. He looked quite scary with his face beaten to pulp making him appear like those zombies in horror movies, as blood spilled from almost every part of his face.I stood up after wiping my bloody hands on his cloth, and it was even then that I noticed the little crowd of students that had gathered, some were taking pictures and videos of what was happening
Jake's POV"So you mean my son, Jaden, who had always been your friend, did this to you? He fought you so brutally just to take off your ring? Why will he do such a thing?" Kane seethed, pacing to and fro in the palace, puffing and huffing as he kept hissing in anger.The queen had her head leaning on her palm, her eyes wet, as she constantly shook her head in sadness and shock. I was sitting on a wheel chair with bandages plastered on almost every part of my body. It came as a great shock when they both woke up to the news that the prince was gone—not to anywhere else but to that pack they detest so much. It disturbs them more to realize the extent of what he could do just for a wolf girl who was not anyone else but a member of one of the packs they most hated. "What the hell had come over my son?!" The vampire king growled, running his fingers aggressively through his hair and tugging it as his teeth clenched tight. His face was red."Something is wrong. We have to do something."
