It's been a few days since our fight .
I look in the mirror , observing the scar . Alec's medicine was working like a charm and the wound had almost disappeared , leaving just a mark in it's place .
It's amazing how Alec is as powerful as a beta but also has the potential to be a really good pack doctor , he seems like an all rounder sort of person .
I sigh and wear a random top with some jeans , not particularly interested in dressing up . I was crazy to be excited to go to classes , now that I've attended them , they are no different from what I had back in the castle .
Boring .
A monotonous routine , words spoken in an uninteresting manner with no real intentions of teaching us anything . Why should I even know the history of wars in Russia with other countries ? It's not as if it's going on right now is it ? There's a different kind of war at play here , I'd rather focus on that .
I pull apart the neck of the top to observe the mark once
I haven't seen her again .It's been a while . She didn't come to class either so there's no way of knowing . Honestly , I let the whole ordeal go . There isn't any reason for me to pry after all .There isn't . Yet why does it bother me ?" What are you thinking about ? " Jace lifted my chin .We were on a date , having some ice cream after class ." Nothing in particular . " I shrugged ." When you're with me . You should only think about me . " He growled teasingly as he brings his lips to mine ." Mmm your ice cream tastes good . " He grins as if he could taste it off of my lips ." Jace that sounds so wrong . " I look around me . There wasn't anyone here so that's fortunate . We had just gotten our order and were walking towards his car ." Do you want me to teach you to drive ? " He asks me as he licks the cream from his cone . I watch as his tongue darts into
I walk to the library to return some extra books ." Please , Alexis ? You're my best friend . It'll only take two minutes . " Kayla had said as she munched on crackers and watched her favorite show .I sniff ." I'm being used aren't I ? What has my life come to ? " I whisper to myself as I stand next to the checkout counter and swipe the books on the scanner before putting them in the cart . I whistle as I wait for the books to process the accepting procedure and clear them from the issuing card .There were 3 days left and I was already feeling strange . Apart form feeling a little nauseous after eating human food , I can't stand to be in warm places . The sun is irritating my skin constantly and I either have to lather myself in a bottle of sunblock until people ask me if I've showered in it or instead I could wear full sleeves and a hat and act as if I was hiding my scars from years of abusing . That's excluding the fact that I would die from the heat if
After sitting in the tub crying for two hours , I play with the rubber ducklings as if I was 5 years old .I can't say for sure that I've come to peace with it .I've only acknowledged it for now . I'll never get Aeron back .A part of me is angry at Jace . A part is pissed at myself for keeping false hope .I just feel sad and empty ." It's alright . Bad things happen . That's what life is . Get over it . " I mutter to myself." Quack . " I make a sound as I ensue a fight between the 2 ducklings ." Alexis ? " It was Kayla ." Hmm ? " I called out blankly ." You've been there for 3 hours . What's going on ? " Her voice is soft and laced with concern ." Nothing much . " I reply as I get the ducklings to stop fighting ." Chu ~ " That's right little ducklings . Make up with each other ." Then why don't you come out ? Your phone has been ringing non stop . " Kayla reasons ." Just hand it to me inside .
I feel the sun shining on my face . It isn't warm . It isn't comforting .It's tearing my skin apart .I scream as I get out of bed and rush to the corner of the room , surprisingly reaching there sooner than I had expected as if my own weight wasn't hindering my speed anymore .I look at the blinds . They were closed but there was some light poking through in between the blinds and that's what burned me . I gulp , wondering what would have happened if it was completely open . How would I have ended up ? Meat barbecue ? Maybe Michael would bring in a soda can and actually enjoy the opportunity .I stay in the corner , heaving a great sigh . I was grateful I got out of this one though I'm sure the blinds were pulled up last night before I went to sleep . I think Jace must have pulled it up after I fell asleep .So what am I supposed to do now . I look at my phone , it's lying on the centre of my bed . I don't see Jace around either so I
"Are you crazy ? No way !" I made it a point to. refuse strongly. Well actually he might have just been joking but I couldn't take any chances with that ."Oh come on . It'll be fun . Have your pick , girl or guy ?" He asks with a serious look and Alec rolls his eyes . I know that he's joking now , he can't possibly be serious about kidnapping an actual human being . Perhaps back in the day where no one cared about what happened to other people and the only way for news to spread was from mouth to mouth . It isn't possible to survive in this century unless you're incredibly careful .Hypothetically speaking , if I kidnapped someone . There would be an APB put out for him and it would be all over the news . If I couldn't wipe his mind properly because of no prior training and he goes on to blab , things would end badly .It would be even worse if I couldn't control myself and end up killing him . I could leave him in a ditch so
After changing and cleaning up a bit . We decided to join Alec and Michael at the club lounge . There was a huge bar and disco lights . Since it was day time , the music wasn't loud and instead of the swirling disco lights there was only a normal white one . Instead it was used for simply playing during the day .There was a pool table , darts . Hell there was even a play station with a huge screen . It seemed like an all rounder lounge . If one went deeper inside through the door , there's a small cafe inside it , away from the stinging smell of alcoholics .Perhaps encouraging the customers to take a break and sober up for a while ." I wonder if I can still get drunk . " I look over at the hundreds of bottles being displayed in curiosity .The last time I had drank wasn't one of my best moments . I embarassed myself thoroughly but that doesn't mean I didn't enjoy it . It really calmed my brain down from the constant shit I was getting bombarded with.
I shakily open the box .I wipe off the blood on my hands with a towel and take the object out ." What am I supposed to do with a simple dagger ? " I mutter as I turn it around in my hand . It was sleek and sharp ; it looked as if it could cut through even bone . The handle was made out of wood though whereas the dagger itself was silver .That's the only thing that was present in it . It was empty . I search around and tap on it here and there , wondering if there's a loose side that unhinges . I top the bottom and try to pry it open .It turns out it could slide to the inside .Interesting .There wasn't much space after sliding , perhaps only a few millimetres at most . There was nothing but a piece of paper stuck inside of it . It was blank ." Maybe she forgot to write me something ? " I wonder as I turn the paper on the other side and notice it's emptiness .Suddenly an idea strikes me and I turn on the lamp present at t
After 2 days of having a really hard time controlling my urges and basically sticking to Jace's neck like a vampire bat the whole time . I almost consider taking Mark up on his offer for training .That's before ..." It's time for training " Jace says calmly as he shuts the door to our bedroom and locks it .I gulp ." You didn't tell me what the punishment was . " I ask softly . I trust him completely but I was still feeling a little nervous ."Oh you'll see " He grins .I swallow .He shows me his hand and I look at it . It's empty, what is he trying to prove ? Slowly his claws come out . He brings his claw to his neck and slides it in with a grunt , pulling it down just an inch and letting the gap ooze out blood .The pounding in my head almost takes me over and I get the urge to clamp down on his neck . He shakes his finger as a warning ."If you give in , you'll regret it
If you read the story this far , thank you so much . I hope you liked it . I'm aware that there may be a few spelling errors due to a typing mistake , I will try to fix them as soon as possible by reviewing from the beginning . For those of you that are confused about the coin system on this app . The word count equates to the coins so if a particular chapter costs a lot of coins , it's because the word count is quite high and it took a while to write it . Hope you understand ~ If you have any questions about any plot loop holes or missing information , then you can leave a comment and I will get to you soon . It would mean a lot if you choose to leave a review for the book . Thank you once again for reading :)
" They are healing up nicely " the pack doctor tells me and I sigh with relief . I'm glad we decided to ask a neighbouring pack doctor for help ( Alpha Reiner ) . Apparently , Dianna .. I mean , Mom , was successful in convincing him after all and he doesn't seem to have a problem with her meeting me anymore as long as she doesn't come close to Dracula in the slightest . The pack doctor was a good call , those injuries were not my cup of tea at all . Michael was pacing around outside the room the whole time . The guilt was eating him alive . He was with Michelle at the time and his phone was outside their room . I don't blame him and I'm honestly glad that he wasn't there when it happened . Because then what happened to Alec could have happened to him as well . I blame myself for what happened to Alec . I was the one who called him , I should have just went myself without him . I'm the reason he's human now . ' Thank you . ' he had told me .
I see Noah entering the cottage as he goes to take a seat on the living room couch ." How did you frame her ? " I question ." It isn't hard for a powerful witch to use an element . " she says simply as she gets up and puts the leftover tea in the sink. " Enough with the questions .. a little birdie told me that you have exactly what I'm looking for . "I look away ." What are you talking about ? " I ask innocently ." Aren't we past pretending ? The channeling device , I know you have it . I saw it . With great power , you get a fraction of seer like abilities , if you know how to use them " she purses her lips , making her slight wrinkles more evident than they were before ." I have no clue what you are referring to . " I shrug . " I think we are done here . " I stand up slowly .What would happen if she used the dagger to steal Jace's essence . Would he die ?" Sit down . " she says calmly and I feel a force dragging me ,
" Since when ? " I questioned her as I stood a good few feet away from the bed ." The beginning . " she admits ." You were a lackey for my mother since the moment you met us ? " I ask incredulously ." Of course not . It was the next day that your mother approached me . I knew about the existence of supernatural beings , I just didn't know that you were one . "" Until she told you and asked you to spy on me . " I sigh and put my hands on the temples of my cheek in disbelief . This whole time then , our friendship was fake . She didn't care about me , she was just doing her job ." I needed the money for my family . " she says quietly ." I don't care anymore , Kayla . It's fine . " I say simply , taking a few deep breaths .After Aeron , I didn't think I'd find another best friend , I .. was starting to think of Kayla as my best friend even if she was a human , I was going to make it work somehow .I wanted to make it
" What do you want ? " I ask dryly , not making my strong emotions evident ." I just wanted to see you . " She breathes out as if taking it all in . Her hazel eyes water just the slightest and I almost give in ." You didn't see me for 18 years so why now ? "She looks inside the room .Hell no , I'm not inviting her in . I don't plan this to be longer than it actually has to be . She can say what she wants to say and then leave . I think a part of me knew that it wasn't entirely her fault but a part of me thinks she could have completely avoided this by simply waiting for her mate . Then I wouldn't be here . And I wouldn't have met Jace . So maybe that isn't the best idea after all .Without any delay she pushes past me to get inside and takes a seat on the couch in the living ." Shall we talk ? "" As if I have any choice in the matter . " I mumble as I take a seat next to her ." Have you hidden the dag
" You're crushing her . Loosen up . " Jace warns as Kayla practically squishes me to death . Perhaps if it was my human self , I'd be choking for air right now but since I have grown much stronger over the span of the past few days , it actually doesn't bother me in the slightest . Jace was probably concerned that I'd suddenly be bombarded with blood lust and I would end up tearing her apart . I may not be an absolute control freak but I'm still relatively accustomed to controlling ." I missed you too . " I laugh as she finally pulls away . I had no idea that I could get this attached to a human . All of my life I've mostly ever been around vampires and I don't mean this in a rude way but I just assumed I wouldn't get along with humans . I was wrong .Vampires , humans , werewolves etc . It doesn't matter who it is . At the end of the day we are all the same thing . We are people . No matter the types or the species , I'd like to think that we all have something in co
" Are you sure you want to go back ? " he asks ."Jace , I can't be stuck in here and hide forever . I'll have to go out at some point , besides , it's been a few days and I'm much better at controlling it now . "It was true that the slight temper issues brought on by the werewolf transition definitely ended up in me having a more difficult time with controlling my thirst than before but I was managing . I swear I was . And I was getting really bored hanging around in this hotel all day . If I'm going to be honest , being bored is a worse combination anyway so it's a better idea for me to return .This way I could finally have some distractions and also something to do instead of sitting around watching TV or playing some pool . It could be good in curbing my urges . Shouldn't I take my willpower out for a test drive ?" I'm not so sure about that . " he smirks .I can already tell he was talking about last night so I decide not to comment on it .
I paw at him to gain his attention . How do I tell him that I want to turn back ? He looks at me and raises his eyebrow .I try to feel the desire to turn back to my human self , hoping that he would feel it too and would let me know how . As expected , he hadn't put up a wall and realised almost immediately what I meant . I wonder if Jace and I will be able to communicate through mild link just like Alec and Michael . It seems fun , intruiging and more than anything a different sort of connection that I'd like to try out ." Step by step you need to focus on your limbs and visualise them returning to normal . Will it with your strength . " he explains , still stroking my fur . I try to do as he says and he gets up from the ground , walking over to a nearby tree . I was too busy to notice until he dropped the bag in front of me which contained presumably my clothes .Following his instructions , it doesn't take long before I slowly return to my original body . I
I scream as my arm twists in the other direction , possibly breaking and adjusting my elbow joint to match a wolf's . In my whole life , I have never felt such excruciating pain before . Sure there were moments that were particularly hard to bear but this ..I wanted to die than endure another second of it ." You don't have to feel it . " I tell him painfully with tears in my eyes . The searing burn and throb of a fracture made me drop to the ground and pant as my heart beats hard enough to rip out of my chest .Jace was flinching with my every move , every wave of pain caused him to grunt and grit his teeth . Why was he not putting up the wall ? Just because I'm going through it doesn't mean he has to as well . He's already done this before , there's no reason for him to experience such unpleasantness ( such an understatement ) twice ." You'll be okay , just breathe through it . You'll be okay . " he whispers lovingly in my ear , supporting my battered
