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."
Jaden's POV Night was drawing near as I sat on a big tree branch in the wood, waiting patiently for night to fall so I could hurry to that royal packhouse and keep a close eye on the building.I don't know the strategy the knights would be using to lure her out or if they were going to sneak in. I really have no idea, but I won't take any chances. My plan was to make sure I was beside Selene in whatever way.They will all have to walk over my corpse to get her killed because I would rather die than watch them touch a strand of her hair. I know it's a betrayal. I know it's an abomination. I clearly know I am defying the entire vampire tradition and law, but the days when I cared are gone.Unfortunately, at this moment, I would go the extra mile for her. Even if I get banished from my Kingdom, we will find a new life together in a faraway land. As long as she walks with me, our hands clasped together, savoring the warmth and serenity of the environment, that's all that matters.We will
I sat there in my room, leaning on a hope that was becoming bleak and fainter. Night had come, and it was accompanied by silence—that kind of silence that sends shivers of fear down your spine with a terrifying voice echoing inside your head in warning of an impending danger.Everywhere was becoming dark inside the room, and for an unknown reason, all the lights in my room couldn't come on. I only depended on the dim ray of light from the moon, which was barely bright enough for me to see my bed where I lay.My heart was thumping hard, and sweat was all over my face. I didn't want to die anymore.If it had been weeks ago, I would have been the happiest woman on earth at this point because dying simply meant the end of my sufferings. The end of every pain, and I would be able to meet my mother again. This world had no meaning then, and it felt tiresome to live in.But dying now, leaving this world when I had met the love of my life, was like a piercing sword plunging into my heart. Mee
