Arya gasped and stared at me. I enlarged the photos and sighed in relief when I noticed that Oswald's face wasn't clear from the angle from which the photo was taken. If Oswald's face had been revealed, it'd have caused more trouble.Most of the people in the power axis pack are Lorelei's fanatics, which means I'll be dragged to no end. Moreover, I've been linked to Wyatt since my arrival; won't that make it seem as if I'm a slut?My fist clenched in anger. I knew the person who had taken these photos had done it to scheme at me.Perhaps that person had seen Oswald with me, but to confuse everyone, she had only taken a blurry picture of Oswald carrying me.Furthermore, the person had purposely uploaded my hickey-filled neck to stir up suspicion while captioning it as me visiting the school head, directing all the blame at me and excluding Oswald.That person must've known that Oswald wouldn't come out to support me, nor did I have evidence to prove that the man in the picture wasn't t
I bit my lips in panic, uneasiness spreading through me.The incident with Oswald made me unhappy, but upon seeing Wyatt's text, pronounced weakness circulated throughout my entire system.I bit my lower lip, fidgeting. I lowered my head, causing my hair to fall on my face. I quickly tucked the stray silver strands that fell on my face behind my ears.I inhaled deeply and closed my eyes before tapping on the message.'It's Oswald.' Wyatt texted knowingly. Of course, if no one knows, Wyatt, Rex, and Asher will know.A wince fell from my lips, and my heart tightened.Oswald's actions had saddened me, but upon seeing Wyatt's text, it felt as if I was never sad, and I was just getting sad.My eyes turned moist, and I felt my whole body tremble due to sadness and remorse.'Yes.' I admitted honestly, not bothering to lie, and immediately I did. My body shook, and I felt all my strength dissipate.Seeing the image spreading around, I knew there'd likely be nothing between the both of us agai
By the time I left the forest, I was bleeding heavily due to the multiple wounds that layered my skin.Rex didn't even bat his eyes or extend any help throughout the fight with the rogues, and he left as soon as I killed them, making me want to cry.Although I tried to stay unperturbed, I couldn't because my heart hurt from the way everything ensued.It felt as if everything kept piling up; it was Oswald at first, then the case with Wyatt, and now it was Rex.Why is everything like this? All the men hanging around me are uncaring jerks.I stomped my feet unhappily and rubbed my intensely aching chest before continuing on my walk to the hostel.The sky was dark, and the night was silent except for the almost non-existent noise caused by my footsteps. Somehow, the silence further stirred up my emotions, making me more depressed. I bit my lower lip, trying to stop the tears that welled in my eyes.Was I the one causing tantrums? Am I meant to be disliked and unlistenable to all? Or was I
My hand clenched the spoon tightly, and I felt my body grow tense, but still, I replied, "Yes." After all, Rex could send his men to pick me up if I didn't respond to him. Besides, if it comes to the worst, Rex might be the one to pick me up directly. I can't stop him anyway.Suddenly, the thought of pure energy came to my mind. After the training spar with the rogues, I wondered if my energy had awakened again.But on taking a look, I discovered that nothing had changed—my energy is still lying docile as if it never existed, and I can't help thinking that it makes sense.I had expended a lot of energy to kick that dark energy out of my system before falling into slumber, and that energy must be refilled before I can awaken it.Although I wanted to slow down and drag Rex along, my actions were faster than my thoughts.Upon leaving for the forest, I didn't bother dressing up; instead, I left the hostel in the black pajamas I found myself wearing when I woke up.Rex's back was turned at
I froze with shock. I understand Arya's point of view; Wyatt had revealed himself as the mysterious man in the picture, which means Wyatt was the person I was talking to. Although my words were directed at Oswald, since Oswald and I being mates can't be revealed, I have no evidence to prove that Oswald was the one I was insulting.I sprang up and shook my head hurriedly to refute the claim. "No wait. It's not like that..." I tried to clarify myself.Arya's mischievous smile deepened, and her brows were raised cunningly. She leaned forward, looking pleased with my struggles, and interrupted while winking suggestively. "So my brother had always pretended to be cold and indifferent?" Arya exclaimed with a cunning giggle.I waved my hand and shook my head repeatedly. I was in a state of happiness a few minutes ago. Why do I feel like crying now? "Arya. Really, that's not it. It's not what you're thinking at all." I contended helplessly.What if Wyatt gets to hear of this? He had just help
Happy New Months Everyone. This Author is really grateful for your support and comments. Thank You "So, did you plan to return home? I do." Arya asked me and replied while munching a shortbread cookie in its pack in such an enticing way that even if one doesn't have an appetite to eat, one will be hungry.I knew why she had brought up her question. Today is Saturday, which means there's no school. We only have a few hours of optional day lessons, and as a result, the majority of the students were absent—the majority of them have gone home.I parted my lips to give Arya a reply, but before I could, she interrupted with a mischievous Cheshire cat grin on her face. Arya winked at me with a flirty gaze and played with a strand of her hair. "There's no need to respond. It's written in your eyes how much you miss my brother. Both of you will even resort to meeting in the school head office because you can't keep your hands to yourself." She articulated and grinned mischievously. Completing
I only remembered Nancy telling me not to stay in the forest for a long time because of rogue attacks, but even after many visits to the forest, I'm yet to face any danger—a compliment to Rex.However, what I don't understand is that this strange energy is attacking me for no reason. I haven't heard anyone complain about a strange energy attack, nor did Oswald, Wyatt, or Asher appear as if they were willing to tell me what was going on. What's happening? Why is this thing targeting me? I don't think I've caused enough trouble to be the subject of these attacks, have I?It first happened in the school dressing room on the first day of school. The second was in my dormitory after taking a sip from the drink Arya gave me. Now, it attacked me in the restroom for no reason. What is the link? Is there something I'm missing?I fell onto the floor while panting, my chest heaving heavily and my hands and arms aching a lot. I had just fought five low-level rogues after going through Rex's train
Upon hearing my question, Rex's bruised face contorted into a frown, and his red eyes turned fiery cold. "That motherfucker." He cursed in a voice filled with rage and walked towards me, anger evident on his face.I eyed Rex in bedazzle. When Rex left the forest, he left in one piece, with no wound on his face, unlike now.Although Rex's clothes looked clean, there were a few wrinkles on them, and his face was bruised as if he had just fought. And it can only be linked to a certain someone who had just sent his image to me a few minutes ago."Rex. You went to fight Oswald?" My eyes widened in disbelief. Although I knew Rex and Oswald didn't see eye to eye, I didn't expect them to fight each other this soon.Suddenly, a thought flashed past my mind, and it made my mood change. However, I tried to stay calm. I stared at Rex's face intently in a bid to catch the trace of any emotions that flashed past his eyes. "No, you didn't involve Wyatt and Asher, did you?" I asked in a grave voice,
