Everest

"Have we met before?" He asked again, this time

The words struck a chord in my mind and I wanted to scream, 'Yes idiot, we've met before at that sleeky hotel where you took me without my permission and promised to make it up to me.'

However, one look in his eyes and my anger dissipated.

"Have we met before, miss?" He repeated, this time his hands tightly held my shoulders.

My heart skipped several beats at his question and my legs almost gave way, but I held myself back and took deep breaths.

I can't let him know that we've met before. Who knows what he'll do to keep his dirty deed under the ground?

What if he kills me?

Could he do that? I took another look at the handsome man before me. He looked like he had walked out of a painting. He was just too handsome for this world.

His hair was long and curly, sitting proudly atop his shoulders. His thick brow matched his thick, yet angelic voice. He had sharp pointed noise and a beautiful set of hazel eyes. His lips were thin

    Finn"You do not have a sparring partner, do you?" I pointed at the lady sitting on the sidelines. She didn't care that she didn't get to show off her skills like the other girls would have done. Instead she was happily watching as the others practiced."Yes sir, I don't," she stood up immediately. "Very well," I clapped. "You can spar with me."Her eyes widened and she gulped. She looked behind her as if in search of the one I was talking to. "Me?" She touched her chest. I scoffed at her act. "Yes, you.""I...uhm..." She stuttered as she scratched her cheek. "You want....me..." She touched her chest again. "...To spar with you?"Her way of repeating the same question was annoying. I mean, she got the point so why ask again?I didn't say anything in response to her questions. Instead I crossed my arm and waited until she read the signal and chose to come to me. "But I can't....." She sighed. "Attack me," I ignored whatever she was about to say. "Huh?" She widened her eyes.I kn

    Everest.His words made me feel special but I knew better. I felt his arms around my waist.“Your Voice..” He muttered, dragging his statement. It seems he had something else to say but refrain himself from saying it. If I stayed any longer, I would die of anxiety. I was already sweating at the moment. “Can I leave?” I said, sounding impatient. “I have to go.” I added.Phoebe would be disappointed if I got back to the shop, it has been barely Six hours since I arrived, it would be a shame. “You look so scared,” he said, moving so close to me. “Wolf less but more like a tyrant, I like that.” He said with a smile. I moved away from him just to hit my back against a wall, now there was no room for escape. “Shit!” I cussed. He smiled wickedly, “I don't bite, “ he said sniffing me like he was a dog. Though it's very common with us werewolves, wolves are known to be wild dogs with frightening amounts of skills. I wondered why he was sniffing me, using my hands I tried pushing him away fro

    FinnHer eyes shone brightly, melting my heart. She has beautiful eyes. They felt so familiar and captivating. I couldn't control myself around her, my wolf felt so wild. I wondered why I couldn't feel her wolf. She wasn't a real werewolf without one, I felt there was a lot I needed to know about her.Seeing her run away from me, I let out a laugh. What was she doing? I hated the fact that she could get herself injured just by clenching her fist. “You can run away but you can't hide yourself from me.” I said aloud, sure enough I knew she must have heard me. I could hear her thumping heart beat as she ran all thanks to my wolf. About her injury, I would have to make sure she's okay. “Prince Finn, you called for me.” My personal guard said as he approached me. “I have a task for you, there's someone I want you to investigate.” I ordered. “I have no idea who she is but I want you to go through the CCTV cameras and find the woman who had been sent to my room. I need clear results.“ I c

    Chapter 12Everest Waking up to the sound of my alarm I jolted up from my sleep rubbing my eyes warmly so as to start the day. At this point I still felt so sleepy, all thanks to the pervert who had locked me up with him. “You need to freshen up and head to the canteen to get breakfast. You can't afford to be late again.” Adrienne said, heading towards the door. I couldn't believe my eyes, she was fully dressed. “What time did you wake up?” I said stretching my limbs. Adrienne chuckled as she looked at me, “You came back very late last night, I was still awake but too lazy to question you.” After her last words, she left the room.Looking over towards the second bunk, it was empty and neaty made. It seems everyone had been up earlier than me. I jumped off the bed rushing towards the shower room. In less than a minute I was already out. Mr. Roland would chop my head off, I can't be late. Back home I was always up Early, but now it seems my body is taking a break. Could my pregnanc

    Phoebe.As I made my way into the mansion, I furrowed my brows in a frown. Everest has been to hell and back all thanks to Selene. She was nothing but the devil himself, I wondered what the young girl had done to deserve so much pain and torture.“Everest, you are dead meat. I would definitely kill you. How dare you stay out for days without my permission” I heard her yelling. “Selene, calm down, you don't have to be so harsh with the young girl.” I said as I made my way into the living room. She looked so shocked seeing me, “Phoebe…I wasn't expecting you. Don't tell me she had caused trouble at work. Is that why she hasn't been here for two days now?” She asked I scoffed, her sudden care sounded so off to me–she sounded like she really cared about Everest’s well being. “You really see her like a pain in your ass. If she is so much of a burden, you should let her go. Let her have her freedom.” I advised. She rolled her eyes at me, “You know how my life has been ever since, so you sh

    Everest.Even though I had no parents, I felt lucky having Phoebe. Ever since my mother died, she was the only one who had shown me so much love and care. I wondered how she got my luggages. I was so curious about it. Knowing my step mother fully well, if she knew I was here, I'm sure she would have come to the Academy to drag me out. “You don't have to overthink anything, whatever you decide, I will support your decisions.” Her soothing words calmed my nerves.“That's not what I'm thinking about, I wonder what you said to convince her.” I said, sounding very anxious.Phoebe let out a helpless sigh, “I told her I had sent you to another Branch outside the states.”Hearing this I giggled, this all made sense. “I could imagine the smile on her face right now. I'm sure she is very happy!” “Everest, I have so much faith in you, don't let me down. I'm not in any way pressuring you but I want you to give in your best. That way you could be free from Selene. And you would be able to live

    FinnSeeing how scared she was I felt my heart ache. Why was she so scared? I had been with her for over two days straight, she is supposed to be familiar with me by now. Her constant biting made me chuckle, was this how she would save herself if she was really being kidnapped? It seems she had no skills at all. Heading towards my chambers, I could see the confusion in her eyes. She had no idea where this was but the luxury it was built with made her speechless, she suddenly stopped struggling. Does it mean she liked the fact of being kidnapped here?My guards were about to bow their heads. I glared angrily at them, signaling them not to. Thankfully, they understood my point. With large strides, I held her tightly into my chambers. She tried moving her head around but she couldn't, it seems she was more confused.Going into my room, I removed my hands above her mouth, freeing her. She turned around immediately and the stunned look on her face made me laugh. Looking at my palm, her t

    Finn They had been well trained so even if I didn't say anything, they could read my words just by looking at the expression on my face. “You haven't told me what you are good at doing?” I said, earlier I had asked the same question but she shoved it off. “I make the best coffee, I'm good at painting and I'm also a very good cook. That's what Phoebe says, as for my sister Elena, she's good with arrows, horse riding and diving.” she replied. I couldn't help but wonder why she was on about her sister. “What else do you do? I mean when you are bored. What do you do for fun?” I asked. “Owh, Elena says I shouldn't tell you about it.” She replied. I had to end this conversation, “This is the school museum, it existed even before the Academy was built.” I said, pointing at a beautiful building which was a few meters away. She followed my line of sight and gave a nod. “Should we go in there?” I asked. She thought about it for a while, “No, we could do that another day.” She replied.“Okay

    SeleneI couldn't just get what was going on. It's been several months since I set my eyes on Everest and now that she had returned, she was acting strange all of a sudden. I could say that I was completely in a confused state. As a matter of fact, It was so terrifying to behold. I just couldn't explain what it was all about. I stood still watching all Everest did and could say nothing. I watched her being taken away. Afterall, I didn't give a fuck.Miss Phoebe folded her arms as she stared at me. "Are you just going to stand there?" I sighed. "Of course I am. What on Earth do you want me to do? Do you expect me to run along?"Miss Phoebe chuckled. "You're unbelievable! Don't you know what she's going through?""As if I cared."She glared at me. "Just so you know, Everest is suffering from an illness, a severe one. She has schizophrenia!" She announced.Her response turned out to be a shock to me. I widened my mouth in surprise as I exhaled. "Schizophrenia?"She shook her head."Yes

    Finn “I…am…Emily!" Caleb also burst into laughter."So you were the one who had taken Everest out of the academy huh?" She shook her head. "Apparently. Well, the academy was so boring to stay in and so I was in need of something to keep me busy or better still give me fun. And you know how that can be. I can't imagine that brother could be so blind, he was blind that he had suspended the innocent girl without making proper investigations. And if only he did a proper investigation, he would have known that it was Alice behind the whole thing. Caleb furrowed his brows in surprise."Alice behind the whole thing?" "Yes. And not only that, she had also tried to kill Everest but ended up killing one of the contestants." Having heard her response, I was shocked. I was amazed she knew all of this all along. And heard I was still investigating and was unable to trace Alice. What then, have I been doing? I wondered in guilt. Caleb folded his arms as he stumped his feet."I said it! I kn

    Finn Seeing Everest go through such pain made me feel a huge sympathy for her. I felt hurt to see her behave in such a manner. She was completely innocent after all. And once again she had to go through such trauma. It's so sad that I couldn't do anything. And even if I were to do something it won't change anything. As she had stood before me with a smile, I was helpless and totally devastated. The only way we could calm her down was only when she black out. I can imagine the pain she was going through. I clenched my fist in anger having recalled the response which my parents had made concerning her, and to top it all, right before my presence. After she was knocked out, she was taken into a private room so she could take some rest. But then, I spent some time with her before I decided to return to the palace. Having seen her in such a condition I got really pissed. It was all absurd. It turns out that she wasn't lucky after all. Caleb and I returned to the palac

    EverestOf course I know! And so also you are my only friend." "You actually came at the right time. I know you would never lie to me but rather tell me the truth. Everyone here seemed to say things which I don't understand. Tell me what they had done to Elena. I want to know where Elena is at the moment. Is that why she's in hiding, what did they do to her?" Adrienne smiled gracefully."Everest, you don't have to worry. They did nothing to Elena. Absolutely nothing! Oh goodness! Is that why you're panicking? Come on! Cheer up now, Elena had stepped out. She went on an errand. As a matter of fact, she went to get you a surprise gift. Besides, I'm not supposed to tell you because it was meant to be a surprise."I heaved a sigh of relief and burst into laughter as I let out a perfect smile, facing the others. "You see, I knew it! After All, I knew I wasn't insane nor was there anything wrong with me in the first place. So why would you all say that I'm mad, that I had lost my sanity? E

    EverestAfter a series of pains and tears I let out, I couldn't keep up any longer. I was as weak as a cat. While in search of Elena, I shouted and shouted but there wasn't a response. She didn't turn up anymore. I was confused and devastated. Totally exhausted!In my current condition, it isn't advisable as a pregnant woman to move about in such stress and tension. It could equally affect my unborn child in any way. There was no way I could stay back any longer. And having recalled all that happened, my heart hurts.I moved towards Miss Phoebe. She stood still as she watched me search for Elena. On second thought, Elena must have returned home. I concluded. All that had mattered to me was to find her as soon as possible.And from the look of things the perfect the place to find her would be at home since she was nowhere to be seen around the arena. I would use the opportunity to confirm things for myself.I stared at Miss Phoebe with a sad face as I reached out to her. "Miss Phoe

    Everest I staggered backwards in shock as my heart raced heavily. I widened my eyes in shock, it seemed my senses were failing me. What was all this? No! No! This can't be happening!! My heart beat changed completely, the fast rhythm felt like it was going to pop out of my chest. Paraventure If I was told such a thing would happen on such a special day. A day which I hope I would never forget as a result of the excitement I felt, I would never have believed. Who would have thought it could happen? There I was overwhelmed with Joy not knowing that my past would come hunting for me in the future. I must say that indeed, everything had worked out according to how Alice had planned. She let out a sinister smile as she displayed it. The more the audience spoke harsh words, pointing a finger at me, the more excited she was. So this was her plan all along? The moment she stated she had something to say to the audience, my heart skipped though I had no idea what she was gonna say. Deep

    Everest You don't have to worry, I'm here for you." "Prince Finn! Leave that insane lady immediately and return to your seat, now!" The king commanded, yelling at the top of his voice. I trembled in fear. The prince didn't make a move. But the look I got from everyone was terrifying. They all stared at me like some piece of trash. Staring at Alice once again, she was having a smirk on her face. Adrienne on the other hand stood aside in fear, I could tell that she was worried and tensed for me but could do nothing. His parents had gotten furious already. They couldn't stand my presence any more. And I very well know that what got them more pissed was for the fact that their son had supported me even when they had declined. Even after receiving support from Prince Finn as I tried to get on my feet, I just couldn't. My legs were shaking massively that even I myself had no idea of what was going on. Thank goddess that he was beside me and had also chosen to stand by me. But the

    FinnI welcome you all to the twenty-first anniversary of the Luna academy, where the winner of this year's competition will become the Luna. And according to our principles, the second best would be allocated to the remaining princes. So also goes for the third best and the rest, they would be allocated to the other royal princes and the Betas." We all applauded at once with smiles on our faces. Not only did he make a welcoming speech but also made references to the royalties who were present. My identity as the prince was revealed. Mister Roland cleared his throat. "And now, the moment we all have been waiting for. The winner of this year's competition is none other than….." he kept quiet as he let out a perfect smile. My heart raced heavily, everyone shivered in curiosity. Some had closed their eyes and were also curious. I had to place my hand on my chest so I could relax and by doing so I heard the sound of my heart beat. "Is… none other than… Everest Luthar!" He screamed o

    Finn I heaved a sigh of relief. It was a good thing I was able to sum up confidence to tell Everest about my identity. Else, I can't imagine what would happen. She was absolutely right about my fears. There was no way results would be announced that my identity won't be revealed. Though, I saw this coming so I was fully prepared. But to my greatest surprise she laughed over the matter. Here I was thinking she would be really upset with me but little did I know that it would turn out this way. Just when I said it out, I felt a great relief. Now I bet she would be really confident and happy to have me beside her. Finally! This is the day we've all been waiting for. Deep within me, I was full of excitement. As a matter of fact, I couldn't get yesterday off my mind. The moments I spent with Everest made me happy and made me impatient to witness tomorrow's event.
