Chapter 4 Letter

The next day, I got up early and dressed for school. It was warm out, so I settled for a pale pink collar shirt and some boyfriend jeans, slipped on some white vans, pulled my hair into a ponytail, and I'm ready to go.

I grabbed my backpack from the floor and headed to my desk to collect my homework. I arranged it and folded it in two before placing them between my trigonometry book, which is too big and heavy for its worth.

I surveyed my room for one last time to make sure I had not forgotten a single thing.

Happy with myself, I headed for my dresser and frowned when I saw the cracked mirror. I tapped it last night to prevent it from running even further and break the whole thing apart. But now that I am looking at it, I couldn't help but pity the state that it's in. I made a mental note that I would have its mirror changed before the weekends.

Slipping my bag over my shoulder, I headed downstairs to get something to eat. The smell of fresh toast, bacon, eggs, and hot chocolate with cinnamon wafted in the air. I inhaled sharply and trudged down, and headed for the kitchen.

I saw my mom looking like a tornado as she darted back and forth making breakfast while dad was sitting on the table drinking his coffee while reading a newspaper. Typical family portrait right here, everyone. Now, all we need is for me to be the perfect daughter; walk in, greet them a good morning, kiss both parents on the cheek, sit on the chair, and eat breakfast.

But instead of doing all of that, I let out a loud yawn, dropped my heavy bag full of textbooks on the floor, and slumped on my chair.

"Good morning to you too, darling." My dad said, looking over his newspaper with an amused look. He sipped his coffee again before placing it right back on the table.

"Morning," I replied.

Just then, mom placed a plate of scrambled eggs, bacon, and toast in front of me, and my mouth immediately watered at the sight and smell of it. I took a fork and started to dig in.

"Honestly, Gabriella." My mom said and looked at me disapprovingly when I got crumbs on the table.

"What?" I said through a mouthful. My face was covered in crumbs as I reached out for my hot chocolate.

Mom stared at me for a while like she wanted to say something. She opened her mouth and closed it again with a shake of her head. "You know what? Nevermind. I don't even know why I bother to ask you to eat like a lady."

"Well, I don't smile like a lady," I said. At that, my father coughed violently as he choked on his coffee. I wanted to laugh at them when my mom quickly grabbed a glass of water and offered it to him, but we all knew that I couldn’t. I might chase my parents away and out of the kitchen.

Then again, it wouldn't be so bad because then I get to eat all the food.

I looked up at the clock to see that it was almost 7:30 AM. The bus that is going to take me to school would arrive at any minute now. I shoved the last piece of toast in my mouth as I readied to leave.

"I'll be going now," I said and started to grab my bag from the floor. I was almost out of the kitchen when my mother called me.

"Gabriella," My mother said, and I turned around to see her approaching me. She took something out of her apron pocket and handed a white envelope to me. "This came in the mail today with your name on it. I don't know whom it was from." Said my mother and eyed it curiously, which I assume that she did not open for respect. I appreciated that about her.

I took the envelope with a confused look. I never got a letter from anyone. Ever. And receiving letters these days is infrequent thanks to technology. The only note that this age now has is email or text messages. 

And even I don't get any of that.

My fingers felt something rectangular and thin. I got curious and started opening the letter. I felt the heavy weight of my mom's eyes on me as I tore it open. I took out its contents to see a small note and a card inside.

Frowning, I flipped the card over to see that it was my school ID. How did this thing get in here?

I turned to the note then and unfolded it. It was a short note written in delicate cursive that even my English teacher, who is so proud of his handwriting, would be jealous of. 

I started to read it.

~~~

Drop this last night, Gabriella. 

I love that name. See you after school, my love!

Your one and only Hot hybrid guy/Boyfriend/Soulmate/Stalker/Dark Prince,

Aelfric Beaumont <3

~~~

Fuking Hell!

My blood ran cold as I stared at the note. Memories of last night that I forced myself to forget had completely whooshed out of my box and came crashing into my head. Aside from knowing where I live, he now knows my name and school – not that there is any other school in this little town anyway.

Another bad thing about this note is that he placed a heart at the end of his name. I mean, what kind of guy puts a freaking heart at the end of his name?! 

Then again, he isn't a regular guy. He says so himself.

"Gabby? Are you alright?" My mother asked. I glanced up at her to see her looking at me with a worried look before her gaze landed on the note as if sensing that it had something to do with my current mood change.

I quickly wiped the worry off my face and crumpled the piece of paper in my fist to hide it from her. "Fine," I said, and just in time, I heard the sound of the bus engine outside. I turned away from my mother and walked out the door before she could ask me anything I didn't want her to think about.

I got out of the house and raced for the bus. I got in and settled at the very back of the bus seat. I slumped in my chair and plugged in my earphones as I listened to some music. As the bus started again, I saw something in my peripheral vision: a guy was standing beside our house and hidden in the shades of the trees. I quickly looked that way, but there was no one there. The spot beside our house and underneath the shadows was empty.

If it weren't for what I saw last night, I might think that I was hallucinating, but I was pretty sure I wasn't because, for a moment there, I saw him smile.

And he was showing off his fangs.

☻☻☻

I was paranoid. I knew it the moment I entered the premises of the school. He was following me. He's stalking me, and he's not even bothering to hide it. The first time I really spotted him was the moment I got out of the bus – I was the first one to get down – he appeared in front of me, grinning and waving, before running off at a fast speed before the others could spot him.

The second time was during class. I was sitting in front and near the window. I was looking down at the school's parking lot when I saw him down there and staring up at me. He smirked and gave me a wink before vanishing again.

I never sat by the window ever again.

The third time was during lunch. I was just headed for the cafeteria when he suddenly blocked the door and told me not to get the soup because the chef accidentally placed something in there that I didn’t want to know. And then he was gone.

He was starting to tick me off. He kept following me everywhere!! I don't even know how long I can take any more of this! I want to pee! And I can't even do that in fear that he might be watching, so I only drank a little water for the whole day so that I wouldn't pee!

The school finally ended with me having a sore neck from turning around at each suspicious sound. I headed for my locker to place my things, but a letter fell on the ground when I opened it. Placing my book in my locker, I bend down to pick it up. It was pink and had a heart seal in front. Frowning, I opened it and read its contents.

~~~

Gabriella,

I've watched you from afar for a very long time now. While the others think you're snobbish and rude, I believe you are pretty and kind. I admire you. If you would like to meet me, see me on the football field after class. I hope you'll come.

Secret Admirer

~~~

I rolled my eyes and couldn't help but snort at the letter. Secret Admirer? Is he kidding me? I already know who he was, and that is no secret! And he's only been watching me for a few hours!! The nerve!

I didn’t bother to hide the tone in my voice that was laced with fury."Me!" He repeated cheerfully and batted his eyelashes at me like a little girl peering at her doll.That gesture alone set my mood into a blazing ball of anger. I marched over to him in rage. I looked at the door lines and breathed out a sigh of relief when he hadn’t entered. For a moment, I feared that he might have been invited in by my dad, but that was thankfully not the case. "The hell are you doing here? Get out!""I haven't been in your house yet." He countered with a sly smirk."Then get the hell

    Al watched me closely, and he started to laugh. "Angel, don't be too concerned about it. I will never harm or kill you. After all, you are my girl. But I'm afraid I can't make the same commitment to your parents. If I were you, I'd be a good girl, so they might survive the night. And the first step to that is by accepting this." He handed me the necklace again. "I want you to wear it." He commanded and placed the chain on my open palm. His brow furrowed when I didn't attempt to wear it.I closed my hands over the stupid necklace and clasped the chain around my neck. The smiley face emoji charm felt cold as it touched my bare skin. I hate it. Especially its mocking smile. He was doing this on purpose."Looks good on you. If only you could smile, though, which you couldn't. This charm should do the trick." Then he threw his head back and laughed again.

"You think your story about an idiotic bird running through your window would convince anyone?"I forked on my eggs with much force as I could. I thought about stabbing Al later when I see him."Respect your eggs, young lady. It's all where we come from." Said my dad at the end of the table.This is freaking annoying. If they only knew who caused that broken window!I mean, I can't just tell them, ‘Hey, remember that stupidly pretend nice guy Al? Yeah him. He brok

He says.I was surprised and yet curious about how he knew my name that I stuttered. "W-What?" Maybe I was just hearing things. No way can he know my name. Unless he asked someone about it."The killer smile. I am looking for a girl named Gabriella the killer smile." He saidI stared at him. I was trying to figure out if he was serious. But one look on his face, he is."I asked almost everyone in this room where I could find this Gabriella girl and they all pointed in your direction. I assume that you know who she is?" He raised

Only then was I able to relax. “Home.....safe....” I breathed out. “I hope I lost them.”“I believe so. With my punch and how fast you ran, I doubt that he was able to follow us.”“Hm...yeah, I did run really fast,” I said, feeling proud of myself as I laughed.

    My dad gave me a curious look. "Why do you always get rich guys to court you?" He wondered out loud.Rich guys? I wondered. And then it took me a while to remember that Al told them a lie that he was loaded with cash.I jerked my thumb at Al. "Actually, he's broke-" Before I could finish, Prick covered my mouth with his hand."Filthy rich!" Al yelled loud enough that it drowned out what I was saying.“I accept Tyrelle as my daughter's admirer.” My mom suddenly declared, making me aware that the other guy was still here. “Aelfric and Tyrelle, I insist you both join us for dinner. I will cook a feast.”Tyrelle offered them a thankful small bow while Al beamed happily. At this point, you can t

    A young boy with brown hair and a combination of sea green and turquoise blue eyes walks in the wallway of their mansion. He was following a middle aged man while he was telling him about the history of their family. “I don’t understand why I have to learn about this.” The young boy says this while grumpily kicking the carpet. “Young Master Gabriel!” Rupert, the man that he was following and also the butler of their family, cast him a disapproving glare. “Please stop. You might hit and break something!” The boy rolls his eyes. He places his hands in his pockets with a huff. “Can we just skip this for some other time? I have football practice to attend to.” The butler raises a brow at him. “Didn’t your father ground you for three days because you hit someone?” “Just let me do anything other than give me a history lesson about the second Alpha! I mean, what’s so interesting about his story anyway?” Gabriel tried to keep his temper in check because his wolf might just decide to tak

  • Killer Smile   Chapter 47 Starting Over

    Al barely looked up when Deindra leaps and morphs in the air, shifting into his wolf form to attack. Al barely managed to move and roll away when he landed, but that did not stop Deindra when he runs to chase Al and aimed for his throat. Al raised his paw to protect his neck from getting bitten, but ended up with a bleeding leg. He screams in pain and stands up on his back legs to swipe Deindra’s wolf with his other front paw. As an alpha wolf, there’s no doubt that Al is bigger than Deindra. Even though he is weak, his hits still pack a punch and Deindra released his hold on Al’s paw. Al could have ended it right there, but I guess the delirium that he got from the pain was still in effect because he started to become whoozy. I made a mistake. I was wrong to believe that Al could have handled the situation. We failed to consider the after effects that the curse would cause him. I shouldn’t have listened to him. It doesn’t matter. It has already passed. The only thing that I can

    Their worried looks frightened me long before I felt Deindra grab me from behind. His grip on my wrist was so tight that I teared up a bit at the pressure. “I greet thee, Alpha Aelfric Beaumont. This humble beta wolf welcomes you.” “Fuck you.” Al straight up raised his middle finger at his old beta. The distaste in his eyes were so clear when he addressed Deindra. “Stop calling yourself beta when you only got that place because of your father. It was his last request that I chose to grant. If it were up to me, I would have picked a different beta. Someone who isn’t a spoiled wanna be alpha.” Al smirked. “I let you play alpha for a while, but now that I am back, you retaliate and cry like a baby.” Deindra’s growl almost burst my eardrum, making me wince. I really hope that Al will stop teasing him, especially when his beta has me captive. “But you won’t be Alpha for long, you know.” A cocky grin spreads across Al’s lips. “Are you going to challenge me for the position?” His eyes mo

    I felt relieved when I saw Tyrelle standing before us, but it was soon dismissed when I saw the look on his face. It was a mixture torn between anger and regret. “How long have you been hiding, pup?” Al broke the awkward silence by asking him a question. “Enough to hear your sappy backstory.” I am guessing that it was supposed to sound insulting, but the right tone just wasn’t there. In fact, he sounds more sorry than insulting Al. He sighs. “I guess you were not behind her kidnapping, huh.” “You got that right.” Tyrelle must not have liked the arrogance in Al’s voice because this time he starts to frown. He marched over to us until he was just a few meters away from Al and I. “That’s nice and all, but I’ll be taking Gabriella home now.” Tyrelle looks at me, and his expression softens when he smiles. Home. The sound of it just reminded me of my parents. “Tyrelle, how are my parents?” “They’re doing fine. They’re worried. The whole pack is looking for you.” He starts to of

  • Killer Smile   Chapter 44 The Curse Werewolf

    Getting chased by wolves should be something that I should be all too familiar with by now. I know that it is kind of sad that I have such a thought, but the world that I am living in isn’t exactly that kind either. I hear the wolf closing in behind me, and this time, I know that I have to act on my own. One of them almost got to me, but I was able to blast it off with a strong gust of wind just enough to send the wolf flying out of my range. There’s no way that I'm going to outrun the wolves. I’m just a mere human - or witch - running in the woods, which is their turf, barefooted. I turned around and waved my hand, sending a cutting beam of light that knocked a branch to the ground and blocked their path. At least that bought me some time. I never thought that there were this many wolves who were against Al as a leader. I know that I have heard a few wolves outside of my room, but not more than a dozen! My feet were bleeding as I climbed a muddy slope. Rocks and branches had pie

    I was chained and bound to the bed when I regained consciousness. Not only that, but I was even blindfolded. Doctor Kusher really knows how to use my limitations to his advantage. He knows that I have trouble using my magic if I can’t see. Since I have no sense of time here because there’s no window and I am usually blindfolded or shrouded in darkness. My only update on the outside world is Julie. She’s usually the one who would give me updates, as she’s the only one that’s assigned to feed me during meals. According to her, Tyrelle is already aware of my disappearance and has his whole pack looking for me. According to her, their first suspect is Al and his pack, which will undoubtedly lead to a pack war soon. I wanted to ask her about my parents, but I did not want to talk to her because I was angry at her betrayal. Hell, I literally can’t even look at her because I am blindfolded! “Gabriella, you can’t ignore me forever.” She says. Her voice is low, like she has regrets. “Ple

    I woke up in a room that I didn’t recognize. It’s a room with no windows, only a singular door right before the bed that I was sleeping in. I got out of bed immediately and started to look around. I was trying to convince myself not to panic as I headed back to the bed to recall what happened. I looked down at my pajamas and I suddenly remembered how I saw a strange man in my room before everything went dark. I suddenly hugged myself when I shivered out of fear. I was kidnapped. There’s no doubt about that, but the only question I have right now is why? What do these people want with me? I pushed the questions back while I started to head to the door and grabbed the doorknob. I should just ponder my questions later. Right now, I should gather whatever information that I can find inside and outside of this room. There’s really nothing much here aside from a closet, a chair, and a single wooden bed. There was one thing that I did find in the closet, and it was a bathrobe. I wasn’t c

  • Killer Smile   Chapter 41 Not The Right Visitor

    Since Al left, I have been feeling burdened by unwanted feelings. I was angry, but at the same time, I was sad and hurt. Those were troubling feelings that burdened my chest so much that I had to distract myself. For the past few days, I have focused intently on learning magic. I broadened my imagination to the point that I could easily manipulate the stream of my powers. Tyrelle hasn’t spoken to me about the events of that day, which I dearly appreciated. Julie, when she found out, wasn’t that thrilled. She was angry to the point where she told me that we should kill Aelfric for his deceit. It was a side of her that I could barely recognize because it was so out of character for her. It scared me, but I did not make any comment about it. “When will you travel back abroad?” Tyrelle and I are in a yogurt shop and eating massive servings of yogurt. Unlike before, we aren’t hanging out like this because we’re trying to fool anyone. It’s just two friends hanging out and talking after s

    “That’s it, Gabriella. Your magic is improving and growing stronger.” Doctor Kusher applauds me while I set the levitated books down. I turn to him gratefully. “Thank you, doctor Kusher.” “You seem rather cheerful these days as well.” He noted. “Yes, I am trying to practice how to smile these days.” I confirm. I am still not used to expressing joy on my face because of years of trying to hide it. “I see.” He chuckles. “It’s good to see you smile, so it won’t worry Master Tyrelle.” I look at him oddly. “Worried? Why would he be worried?” Doctor Kusher looks at me with wide and worried eyes. “I’m sorry, but didn’t Master Tyrelle tell you?” “Tell me what?” I suddenly feel a little nervous because Doctor Kusher seems a little troubled. “Well,” He scratches the back of his head and tries to look away and change the topic. “I think it is about time that we end this lesson-” “Doctor Kusher, what is it that you’re not telling me?” I urged him to talk.Doctor Kusher hesitates, but a
