Synopsis

Ivana Monique "Ivy" Ortega is a 17-year-old girl who moved to a town called Mirfield. Her parents couldn't afford to send her to college so she took her aunt's offer to finish her studies at Mirfield College with her financial support. Here's when she meets a student named Zion, a mysterious man who loves books as she does. Whenever Ivy crosses paths with Zion, she always feels something different towards him. Later on, creepy things happen to Mirfield and to Ivy herself. She discovered that Zion isn't a normal person at all. On the other side, even though Ivy knows that Zion isn't like her, she eventually fell in love with him. Ivy discovered that Zion needs to marry a human to get his abilities back. His abilities were kept from him by the spell casters when he killed a man in the woods who happens to be the one who tried to hurt Ivy a few times. Will Ivy agree on marrying Zion to get his vampire abilities back?

Chapter 1: Moving to Mirfield

Ivy.

The cold breeze blew on my face as I walked towards the front door of my aunt's well-built house. Rumors about this town being cursed kept crossing my mind. Back home, mom and dad used to tell me that they once lived here. They couldn't get over how spine-chilling it was for them to live in such a creepy town.

"Let me help you with your things," aunt Rosie said as she offered me a hand for my luggage. After her, I walked and observed inside the house. The aquarium with a dead fish caught my eye and if it wasn't for my curiosity, I wouldn't have gone to it.

"Is that fish dead, auntie?" I softly asked while looking at the greenish aquarium in front of me.

"It's just a toy, Ivy," she told me as she walked upstairs with my bag in her hands.

I followed her and as I took the stairs, my hand was sliding through the wood railing of it. The door on the terrace was open, causing the cold air to enter which made me cross my arms to prevent shivering. The quietness deafened my ear. I haven't even heard a single bird chirp from the window.

"This is your room. Apologies if I didn't have time to decorate it. I was planning on leaving that to you," she softly said as she dragged my luggage inside.

I looked at every single thing and it was all made of wood, making this room look old-fashioned. I don't mind staying, as long as I have music and books.

"I kind of love it, auntie." I smiled before sitting on the bed, admiring things around this room.

"That's great. I'll be heading for work now. There's food in the fridge if you're hungry," she informed me and I instantly nodded.

I heard her car leave, and so I was left alone in this house. When I felt that I was already warm enough, I opened the window on the left side of the room and removed my jacket before going downstairs. The sound of boredom inside this house kills me so I decided to go out for a jog.

I spent thirty minutes on the street, jogging and boosting my stamina. For a few seconds, the wind got aggressive and it took my towel. I ran to where it landed and got myself into a place where a terrible smell was all over the place. When I got my towel, I immediately covered my nose because I couldn't handle the stink. I looked for a piece of evidence and my heart skipped a beat at what I saw.

It was a dead bunny and its blood was scattered on the grass.

I gasped before running away and when I reached the house, I immediately went to the sink, throwing everything from my stomach up. I was panting as I wiped my mouth with the water that was running from the faucet. I couldn't breathe as if the scent of the dead bunny followed me back in here.

I sat down at the breakfast table, pulling myself together while I heavily panted. What did I just see? Why do I keep seeing dead things? Was that bunny a toy too like the dead fish I saw in the aquarium?

I shook my head in disbelief. I forced myself to come back to reality after what I saw. I took a hot shower and dressed before going on my first day of school at Mirfield College.

After a fast ten-minute walk on the streets, I arrived at the school. While I was walking in the hallway, I saw someone from the crowd, staring at me intensely. I didn't bother to stop and ask her why but oh—who am I kidding?

Everyone's staring at me.

I didn't want to waste my time giving them attention. It was all good to me until someone pulled my headset off of my neck. I immediately stopped walking, not causing the wire to cut off because it was still connected to my phone which I was holding at the moment.

"Nice music taste," he said, smirking at me while my headset is still in his hand, full of dirty tattoos.

"Thanks," I said with the straightest face I can show. I attempted to get it from him but he immediately pulled it away, forcing my phone to fall out of my hands. I got frustrated, thinking that it must have been broken already. But still, I maintained a straight face. "Look, I don't know why you people are staring at me like you're all wondering how I existed. But all I want is to get my headset back and mind my own business," I said in my most gentle voice, trying to convince him to give it to me.

"What are going to do if I wanted to keep it?" he said, challenging me.

"Give it back to the girl, Landon," one of the students from the hallway said to him.

The man holding my headset looked so annoyed. "And who are you to tell me what to do? Just because you're the mayor's brother, Zion, doesn't mean you can control what I do."

"Oh. Yes, I can," the man named Zion answered with an unbothered look before walking towards us with his hands in his pockets. "If you don't want things to get worse, give it back," he added, threatening this Landon.

It was given back to me after they deadly stared at each other’s eyes. I got my phone from the floor. Good thing, I have fast reflexes to stop my feet from walking immediately. I haven't noticed that Zion was still standing almost an inch away from me.

"Hi." I almost whispered, not being able to meet his eyes. I was stuck there, waiting for him to get out of my way so I could proceed to the room I was assigned.

"You seem nervous. I could hear your heartbeat," he said to me in a cold voice. I decided to give him an expression, a smile, perhaps. Like, who would hear someone's heartbeat without using a stethoscope? Or does he have powers?

"Typical, when moving to a new school," I answered before my eyes automatically stared at his perfectly-shaped jawline. To be honest, he looks fine. Good height, hair brushed up while some of it is hanging on his forehead, deep blue eyes, perfectly-shaped nose and lips, and fair skin. And his scent, it was very… manly and addictive.

A word didn't come out of his mouth. He had just walked away when he heard the bell ring. When I got into my assigned room, I figured we were in the same class. I caught him staring at me the whole time like he didn't like my presence.

I was walking towards the library when I heard a distorted voice of a girl like she needed help. I walked slowly and peeked at where the sound was coming from. I saw a man kissing the girl's neck and I was about to help her when someone grabbed my waist from the back and pulled me forcefully with a hand on my mouth, preventing me to shout. I tried to get away from him but he was a lot stronger than me.

"Keep it down if you don't want him to hear you," he told me.

If you are a fan of stories about abberrations this is definitely a must read. It starts with a slow pace at the start but definitely moves on starting for ch 3. The story is very digestible and can be read while you're relaxing. I'm a fan of abberration or apparitions so this book is perfect for me

Chapter 2: Mirfield Diner"You like that, huh?" I heard the man's voice whom I saw with the girl."Yeah," she then chuckled which made me so confused. I was still in this other man's hands, making sure that I won't make a foolish move. I could feel him breathing from my back. When we heard the fading footsteps of the couple, he then let go of me.Oh, it's Zion. The man who helped me earlier."Why did you stop me?" I immediately asked him, maintaining a low voice. I already had enough attention on this day."From what? From crashing a romantic moment? Or from helping a girl who doesn't need help?" Zion sarcastically asked, fixing his shirt leather jacket.I scoffed before leaving him. I visited the library before I went home. Before I could enter my room, I heard a scratching sound in the other room. I dropped my bag on the floor before walking toward it. I thought it was locked but it wasn't so I entered and I coughed right away when tons of dirt welcomed me.Oh, this is Abbie's room.

Chapter 3: Party“What were you doing outside?” Lizzy asked me instantly. When I sat down, I accidentally spilled my drink on the table so she asked for some table napkins.“Nothing,” I shortly answered. I calmed myself by taking a deep breath.“Thank you, Jace,” Lizzy said when he handed her the napkins she asked for. “Oh, and by the way, this is my friend. She just moved to Mirfield a few weeks ago.”“Hi.” He flashed a genuine smile. “Ivana, right?” he asked, offering a hand to me.“Y-yeah,” I agreed, not asking why he knows my name. It’s not like not everyone talks about me the time I stepped on Mirfield College. “Just Ivy,” I said as I shook his hand."Well, it’s very nice to meet you. Jace, Jace Remington," he politely introduced himself. "Uhm, do you guys wanna go to a party?""Yes, of course!" Lizzy exclaimed as if she was already invited by him."Great. There will be a thanksgiving party tomorrow at our house because my mom became the mayor of Mirfield. Both of you should come

Chapter 4: The Dream“You saw me in your dream?”Zion didn’t say a thing when I asked. He kept silent and didn’t even bother to look at me. If he saw me in my dream, is that a reason for him to follow me? Or to avoid me?“There you are. I’ve been looking everywhere for you—Oh, you’re with someone. Hi,” Lizzy greeted Zion who was still quiet.“Hey,” he greeted her too with a serious face. “Excuse me,” he said before walking away. We watched him as he walked and I saw the smirk on Lizzy’s face.“I didn’t know you know the word ‘flirting’,” she said to me.“I don’t. I was asking him something and he just ignored me.” I sighed heavily and crossed my arms on my chest.“He’s hot, though,” she said, teasing me. I just rolled my eyes when she said that. “Who is he, anyway?” Lizzy asked me.“His name is Zion. He’s Jace’s uncle,” I answered.“Oh. It’s not surprising. They have good genes.” Lizzy chuckled.___I was still at school, walking downstairs when I saw someone on the balcony. I know it

Chapter 5: We Aren't Friends"How's school?"I was breathing so fast. I couldn't calm myself after I had some clues about Zion and I don't think that he's what I thought he was before. It was a good thing that mom called me, a way to get off the tension I was feeling."I'm doing great, mom. Mirfield College is a really good school, I can tell. How are you and dad?" I asked, changing the topic to avoid a conversation about how I am in 'Mirfield' itself."Well, we're still having trouble finding a stable job. But don't worry, once we save up, you can come back home and we'll be the ones to handle all your school fees," she told me, loving the idea of me going back to our home."Mom," I sighed. "We've talked about this, right? Aunt Rosie has already given me the opportunity plus, I promised her that I would be staying with her until I graduate college. And also, I wanted to watch over her, now that Abbie is gone. She needs someone right now," I explained to mom."I know. But your dad and

Chapter 6: Dear Diary "Wow." The man who had me laughed sarcastically. "Look who's trying to be a hero." Zion looked at me, maybe trying to figure out if I was okay or if I got hurt. I was trying to be brave but I couldn't. I was so afraid of what this man with sharp teeth might do to me if I don't stay still. Tears were falling on my face as I look at Zion, begging him to help me. "I'm sure you heard what I said," Zion told him. "Let her go," he repeated. "Or what? Do you think I'm scared of you? If I were you, I'll leave and let someone enjoy their meal," this man answered. Is he pertaining to me? How can I be his meal? "You don't know what I'm capable of, James. You broke the rules. Now, guess what's coming for you," Zion said in a dark voice. I didn't quite understand what they were talking about. All I know is that I need to get off of this dangerous man and go home because aunt Rosie must be worrying about me already. "Even if you run away, you will need to pay the price

Chapter 7: Dungeon Zion. Ivy is related to Abbie? I went to the balcony of my room and put my hands on the railing, feeling the fresh air because I need a whole lot of it. I get that this is a small town, I just didn't expect it to be smaller. I went inside my room and picked a book from the bookshelf to distract myself. As I was reading, I didn't notice that something fell from the pages. Oh, it was a picture of me and Abbie at school. ___ I was looking at Mr. Coleman even though I wasn't paying attention to what he was teaching to the class. Ivy was sitting next to me and I can feel her eyes staring at me, probably getting a reaction from me after how I acted when I drove her to Rosie's house. The class ended and I went straight to the library. I saw Ivy entering while I was looking for a book on the bookshelf. It looks like she was following and looking for me when she entered. I didn't bother to hide. Instead, I showed myself but didn't make any eye contact with her. I can h

Chapter 8: The Town IssuesIvy."Have you spoken to Zion?" Lizzy and I were walking home. I invited her to watch a movie and have dinner with us as my aunt said when I told her that I already have a friend at Mirfield College."Yeah. But he seems so cold to me these days," I answered Lizzy.Zion and I didn't have a proper conversation since that day when he drove me home. I know that something is wrong and I'm guessing that aunt Rosie is involved."Wait a minute," Lizzy said and stared at the house of my aunt. She seemed confused and surprised."What's wrong?""This is where you live?" She arched a brow and I slowly nodded, also getting confused. "You live with your aunt, right?" She asked and I nodded again. "Is her name Rosie?"That was when I got my eyebrows furrowed. I don't recall mentioning aunt Rosie's name before but silly me, I just remembered that it is just a small town and a small village."Yeah, you know her?" I asked before opening the door and giving her a signal to co

Chapter 9: Search Party"Where the hell did he get my number?"I was walking back to my room and by the time I said that I saw the look on Lizzy's face. At that moment, I knew she was the one who gave it. It looks like she was guilty of not asking permission from me."He asked for it," she said. "I didn't have time to ask you because he said it's urgent. Sorry," she apologized."I'm not mad at you, Lizzy. I'm just confused right now," I assured her."Did something happen? Why did you suddenly close the windows?" she asked curiously.I wanted to call Zion again but he said he'll be out with someone to look for James, the one who tried to hurt me. I wasn't so afraid when Zion said that he escaped but I'm not at ease either."Zion asked me to do it," I told her.I sat down in front of her, hearing the movie that was still playing on the TV. I never believed in supernatural things, never. But what I'm experiencing right now kind of telling me that I am blind in all ways.I saw Zion's eyes

Chapter 10: Kyran Mansion"When are you planning on talking to me?"I was getting furious when we were inside the car. He wouldn't even say a single word since we left the house. I packed up some of my things as he told me but here he is, ignoring me.Even though Lizzy agreed to sleep in the house because I told her I needed someone to be there and comfort aunt Rosie, I was still worried. She already suffered severe anxiety when Abbie died. Another reason for her to feel lonely is that uncle Paul, his ex-husband, wanted a divorce after what happened to their daughter. He's now currently with his new wife and they are living in Holbeck.After minutes of him driving, we arrived at their mansion. The last time I went here, there weren't a lot of people inside. Just the maids and gardeners. But now, I assumed that his family is there because of the cars that were parked in their big garage.Zion helped me with my bag but still, he was avoiding eye contact with me. I sighed before walking
