Ella POVAfter talking to crazy Theo, I headed back to the dorm. I didn't meet Betty and Mara, so I turned to go look for them. But they came in right at that moment. Betty's face was dull, and that wasn't like her. Mara's face wasn't that serious, but I could tell something was wrong."Betty, why is your face like that?" I asked, but she smiled, and it was obviously fake."I'm fine, where have you been? "One minute you're by my side, and the next minute you disappear," she said, and I rolled my eyes. She was trying to change the topic."I want to rush to arrange my stuff first," I said, lying. It was Tim's fault, I thought, remembering how he dragged me to the alley."Wow, you wanted to arrange your stuff fast... "That's why you're blushing?" Betty asked with a smile, and I realized my cheeks were always disappointing!"Oh, that... Come on, don't change the topic. "Why is your mood dull instead of Mara's?" I asked, and Mara coughed. I looked at her and sighed."I know you
Anna POVI entered our dorm, and everyone was bustling about, getting ready for the day. Some were dressing up, while others were coming out of the bathroom. I spotted Tiara wearing her clothes and walked over to her."Hey, what's up?" I said, and she rolled her eyes."Thought you didn't want to talk to me again after our mission failed," Tiara said, and I scoffed."What are you talking about? "I've been talking to you; I just got busy today. "And I have another mission that could make Ella your slave forever, just like you wanted," I said, smirking.Tiara's eyes narrowed. "What do you mean?""Okay, here it is: the people giving Ella protection are the alpha princes. Once they're gone, the pack will have no choice but to sacrifice Ella, and we won't need to stress ourselves fighting the vampire. "We just need to clear the princes first," I explained, and Tiara thought for a moment before smiling."Wow, such an idea," she said, and I smirked."You know the princes aren't foolish; it wi
Tim POVAfter taking my bath, I walked out of the hall and met Keth leaning on the hall wall."What's your business?" I thought to myself, facing forward to walking away."What's your relationship with her?" I heard him say, standing up and walking towards me.I raised my eyebrows. "With whom?" I asked blankly, not getting what he was saying."I mean, your relationship with Ella," he said, and I smirked. First, it was Theo, and now it was him. Well, Theo's case was different."She's mine, the girl you gave out as a treaty," I replied with a smirk. I saw the fury in his eyes."Look, I heard you are rude, and I won't let us exchange words like you and your brother did earlier. "I just want to inform you that I'm in – in the game of getting Ella's heart," he spat cowardly, and I scoffed."I only stood here because I thought you wanted to make sense." But it seemed like one couldn't run out of his character. "I don't play games; I won't play games to get what's mine." "Get it
Lizzy POVWe were in the hall, surrounded by various local dishes spread out on the long table. Everyone was there, except Ella and Tim. I had seen them standing together earlier, but now they were nowhere to be found."Where the heck did that witch take Tim to?" I muttered, feeling worried."Lizzy, are you okay?" Bella asked beside me, and I rolled my eyes."Definitely not. "Tim is not here, and neither is that witch," I said, and Bella searched around."It's true, she must have trapped him somewhere, throwing her bitchy self at him," Bella said, and I clenched my fists."It better not be what I'm thinking. "I swear to the goddess, I'm going to kill her," I said, seething with anger.Bella handed me a glass of milk, trying to calm me down."Just calm down, he'll be back, I'm sure of that," Bella assured me.Right then, Tim walked in with Ella, his hand wrapped around her waist. Ella didn't seem to mind, and they walked towards the table, sitting next to Betty and Ryan. I
Sir Lord Robert POVI stood in front of my bathroom mirror, gazing at my reflection. Twenty years of waiting, twenty years of playing the fool under Kingston's rule. Today, I will change my life forever. I glared hard at my reflection, thinking about how to face those three cowards. "Fools," I spat angrily, my voice echoing off the bathroom tiles.As much as I hated their faces, I would still have to see them. I took a deep breath, preparing myself for the meeting ahead. I entered the bathroom, turning on the shower. The warm water cascaded down my body, washing away my anxiety. After completing my morning routine, I stepped out of the bathroom, feeling refreshed and ready.I walked over to the bed, where my clothes were laid out. I dressed quickly, my mind focused on the meeting. Just as I finished dressing, Sushi flew into the room. "Hwuk...huwk...huwk," she chirped, and I smiled. Of course, she had no choice but to obey me. I knew she had feelings for one of them, but I wasn't in s
Alpha Kennedy's POV:As I scrolled through the review and complaints from the employees, my heart sank. The late Alpha's companies were struggling, and it was clear that his absence had taken a toll. I remembered how he would often sacrifice his duties in the pack to attend to his businesses, always striving to improve and expand them.Now that he was gone, it was up to me to ensure that his legacy continued to thrive. I looked up from the report, my eyes meeting Sir Robert's. "Sit, Sir Robert, sit," I gestured, and he took a seat.I wanted to speak, but I noticed that Alpha Clifford had been uncharacteristically silent throughout the meeting. As someone who was closer to the late Alpha than I was, his opinion carried significant weight."Alpha Clifford, you've been silent throughout this discussion. "What are your thoughts on this matter?" I asked calmly, trying to gauge his reaction.Alpha Clifford looked up, his face as unreadable as ever. "The affairs of this pack are our only con
Ella's POVAfter the delicious meal, Master Colt took us to the Rank Two compound. The only thing separating the Rank Two compound from the Rank One compound was a tall wall. As we followed Master Colt, the scenery shifted from the familiar surroundings of the main compound to a more secluded and intense training area.The Rank Two compound was nestled in a valley, surrounded by dense woods and rolling hills. The compound itself was a collection of small, self-contained units, each designed to simulate different environments and challenges. The units were arranged in a circular pattern, with a large central courtyard where trainees could gather for instruction or relaxation.Each unit was a small, cozy cottage with a sloping roof and a chimney puffing out wisps of smoke. The cottages were surrounded by neatly manicured gardens, filled with herbs and flowers that seemed to bloom in every color of the rainbow. As we walked through the compound, I noticed that each cottage had a small p
Betty's POVAs soon as Ryan left for their room, Ella dragged me to ours, and I let out a scoff. "You know, if you had refused, Tom would have reconsidered. "But you accepted everything, after all, he is your fake brother," I said, raising an eyebrow.Ella chuckled and shook her head. "Come on, girl, it's just a room. Don't worry, I won't let him trouble you. "Cheer up!" She tried to reassure me, but I didn't have it.I rolled my eyes and made a face. "Let's get dressed up." "It's time for the party," I said, standing up. Ella nodded, and I told her to go into the bathroom first. Since there was only one bathroom, I decided to dress her up myself.As I started planning her outfit, a sly smile spread across my face. By the time I was done, everyone would be shocked. They would only stare at her, mesmerized by her beauty.Ella snapped me out of my thoughts. "Why are you smiling at yourself?" she asked, curiosity etched on her face.I quickly covered up my smile. "Nothing, okay? Just rub
Sir Lord Robert POV I walked into the palace, all the maids and guards were already there. I made sure my men were there too. I went into the main mansion. I have always admired this place. Now I will be leaving here. Everywhere has changed just like I instructed. I smile as I walk into the bedroom. Yeah, this is where I will be staying, as the new alpha of alphas, I smiled, walking out to the throne room. It was clean, with the huge throne sparkling of both poor silver and gold. I walked up to it, sitting down proud, so this is what it felt to be in control. I was still admiring how well the throne fit me. Just then Rowan walked in. "Sir. It alpha henceforth" I corrected my voice firmly. "Alpha, the elders have arrived, should, will let them in" he said, and I smirked the game was about to begin. "Yeah, let them go inside here, not the hall anymore, cause there is now a new alpha in charge," I said proudly, and he bowed before leaving, I had already practiced
Ella POV (continuation) We had both already returned to our human form, and Master Colt asked us to go to the middle, facing him. I bite my lips, regretting my actions earlier. I shouldn't have followed tiara madness, but I was rage. How could she slap me when I didn't do anything? Instead of blaming her whore of a boyfriend, she is blaming me. "Totally ashamed of every one of you here "Master Colt said, his gaze strictly glaring at us one by one. "I made it clear the other day that I didn't want to fight anymore in this school henceforth, but you two went against me. Everyone just watched. "Nobody stood out to separate them." "Why?" He thundered. His voice echoed deeply around, nobody uttered a word, just staring back at him. "I'm sure none of you have any idea that Tim was being attacked yesterday by a vampire. He didn't even come because he was badly wounded, but no one cared. "Why because you won't all stop the hatred for each other? He said, glaring at everyone. My heart
Ella POV I woke up to see myself in bed, in my room. How, I remember insisting on staying with him in his room, since he refused to come to mine. How come I am laying down in my own bed? Wait it day break already. Fuck! It was late. I rushed down from bed, went straight to the bathroom. It seemed like Betty left me, because the house was empty, but what about Ryan? He could have woken me or is he angry at me as well? Well, if there is a new day, and I am going to prove in front of everyone that I am innocent, keth should better wait for me. I am not sparing him today. I came out, quickly putting on my clothes, as I dashed out of the room, running to the field, Everyone was there and as I arrived, they gave me this weird look. Mara rushed to me, trying to whisper something to me. I kept my ear, trying to know what she wanted to say, but what came next was a heavy slap on my cheeks, not once but twice, I held my cheeks, looking up to see Tiara. She was holding a cup.
Sir Lord Robert POV I walked back and front, waiting for the report. I had sent my men to kidnap that old man and still haven't gotten any reports, "What is keeping them?" They had better kidnap that old fool. "I don't want to hear the story", I muttered completely impatiently, just heard from some villagers that the training would be ending next week, which means if Anna doesn't kill those brothers, I won't be able to succeed in this plan, King Natty promised to give me the spell blackbook one of these days and yet there is no sign of him. I don't know what he took me for, a fool or what ! I was still pacing around the living room, with the wine in my hand, as I sipped continuously, Right then, the two men walked in. "Sir, the work is done." "We blindfolded him, he is currently in the warehouse," Rowan said, his face looking criminally just like him." "Great Rowan, take me there, after all, he is going to die, but I just need you two to torture him, still he says w
Ella POV I opened my eyes, surprised it was already night, everywhere was dark, my headache was also gone. I was sitting up on the bed, thinking Betty was beside me, but as I looked around I discovered I was the only one in the room. I sighed deeply as the events that happened earlier flashed through, "Tim ..." I muttered, standing up and rushing out of my room. I stopped when I saw Betty lying on the couch. Instead of laying down with me in the same bed, she chooses to lay on the couch. Does she hate me that much?? I went out of the room, heading to Tim's room. I twisted the door knob to see it was still locked. The sound I was hearing from inside was scary, what was happening inside. "Tim, what's happening inside there?" "Open the door" I yelled, hitting the door hard, but instead of a reply, something came clashing heavily on the door itself and then Tim groaned. Was he hurting himself again?? ...no. "Tim open the door, or I break it" I said, tears rushing down my
Keal POV We were still fighting. Tim was already wounded, slicing me heavily on my knees, giving a deep cut to my knee. I groaned, trying to fight back, as I raised my sword, cutting him lightly on his arm. The room wasn't even messy but bloody, my dark blood was zooming out of the spot, and I was about to lose consciousness. If I don't escape now, I will be dead. I was still trying to know how I was going to escape when someone started knocking on the door, but of looking in that direction, "Tim, what's going on inside there open the door?" the voice came. As Tim was trying to reply, I started gathering my energy, pushing to crash on the door before he could fight back. I disappeared, appearing under the apple tree, before putting on my chain necklace, And Madden form took place. I groaned in pain as the deep cut on my wound. It was still fresh and painful, I struggled to sit down on the rock, groaning in pain as I looked for an ant. As a vampire, I can't heal a wou
Tim POV Everything is just messed up. Ella hurt me so much, she could have just told me she didn't love me. I stood up from the bed. I really like eating, but I had to eat since my stomach wouldn't understand. Going for the tray of food Lizzy brought earlier, I opened it. It was fried rice and chicken, but honestly I didn't even have an appetite. Just when I was using the knife to cut the chicken, my door knob twisted. Why can't they just believe it? I don't want to see anyone, they should just leave me alone. After the door knob twisted but didn't open, I guess the person knew I didn't want to see anybody. I took in the cold beef, chewing with a non-appetizing look, When suddenly everywhere became cold, the atmosphere in the room was kinda choking, as if someone was there, but I am quite sure no one came in. What happened? I looked around but still yet, I couldn't find anything. The confusing part was that the door I locked was still intact. Maybe it is just my feelin
Madden POV I was smiling as I roughly bite the apple, chewing it. I just have to wait until the night falls, then I will turn into my real self and kill Tim. By the time I kill him, then I can kill or take Ella away. She has this potential in her that will be useful to our clan. Once King Natty met her, I took another bite at the apple, before throwing it away, Smiling as I climbed the three, using my legs. This is what I missed in our clan. Getting to climb trees using my legs is a habit a vampire can not escape, just like a bat, Heard the case going on. Ella was caught by Tim kissing Keth, and it would definitely make him weak, and it was the perfect time to strike. If not because they had to get to see my face, I would have gone now, but it's just going to get suspicion, which is the last thing I want. King Natty is being patient with me. He gave me four weeks, and now there are just two weeks left. I just have to succeed at any cost. I don't really mind, I just h
Ella POV Mara and I enter my room, My head was beginning to hurt as hell. I guess it was because I was overcrowded, not just my head, but my body temperature was rising so much. "Ella, you are burning" she said, but I kept quiet, entering the room to meet Ryan, Tom, Anna and Betty, seeing me. Betty hiss, "Seriously Betty, you should know, even if everyone doubts me." "I didn't expect you to join." "Oh please... spare me the innocent talk." The only reason I am still staying here is because of one thing. "If not I won't be sharing a room with a slut like you" she spat, I didn't believe Betty will say a thing like this to me, me a slut. Now this is too much. "Betty, that was harsh ..." Mara tried to say, but Betty gave her a glare. "No your place, Mara ... don't interfere when you are not there," Betty said, and I shook my head, "that enough Betty it okay..." "Ella, please go inside" Ryan said giving me a sign that he will talk to her, I sought deeply, going inside. My whole
