Serena's POVI am left dumbstruck and dumbfounded as my jaw drops the moment he says that. Mr. Martins, who is sitting inflated in his chair, diverts his focus to look back at me with a strange smile on his face."Oh well, why sure, no problem. Go give it to her, and please do not cause any trouble. I want this place to be as silent as it can be," Mr. Martins says, and I observe as Damon bows slowly at him."Of course sir, anything for you. I just need to ensure that she is able to write well for this test without any much pain."I think I must have some strange sort of cotton wool stuck in my ears because I am really confused and I don't understand what is going on or what I am hearing.I have my eraser right here with me, so what the hell is he talking about?I continue to look at him, observing the endless amount of stares every single individual in the entire hall is giving him as he finally comes to a stop directly
Serena's POVI am still kind of confused and lost about this particular situation as I relax against my seat, tapping my pen against my chin. I don't realize a few of the students are gazing at me as if trying to figure out why I am not writing anything.But then Mr. Martin steps back into the hall looking frustrated and infuriated as ever as he continues to adjust himself, muttering profanities and cursing."I'm so going to ensure that he pays for this. What sort of student is he? Just when I was thinking he was about to repent and turn over a new leaf, he just had to commit another grievous activity. I'm going to ensure that his stay in this school is going to be hell. He can't just get over the fact that his father is the most influential in the city and just be well-behaved for once," he says to himself as he finally takes his seat and adjusts himself before looking up at all the various students staring at him."Why are you staring
Serena's POVHe must have already sensed my presence from the beginning, for heaven's sake, so there is no point acting as though I wasn't looking at him.He is a freaking werewolf.I sigh with defeat as I slowly turn my head to look back at him to see him smiling at me and giving me that charming look while he relaxes against the table with his head in his hands.I roll my eyes with annoyance and bite against my bottom lip as I quickly walk away from the window and relax against a nearby wall.Yeah, he's really growing on me really fast, and this is becoming so unbearable.Why the hell does he have to look so cute with those sexy eyes of his?Ooofff.I shake my head rapidly with the intention to wipe out the image of his beautiful smile and eyes away from my head, but it is just so freaking hard.No, I need to get him out of this detention so we can go home and discuss the fact that he had to
Serena's POVHe raises an eyebrow, gazing at me with disbelief."No, I sincerely doubt that, Serena. There is no way you are going to be stuck here and sent over here for detention without me being informed, so please just forget about this and get out, okay? Your presence is not needed here," he says firmly.I don't even know what I'm doing anymore as I quickly step forward, trying to catch his attention as he attempts to return back to the task at hand."No, I am actually serious! I am not joking. I made a very big mistake, and I kind of messed up during the test. I didn't do anything wrong, but I kind of accidentally spoke to someone, and the invigilator caught me, so he sent me here," I explain hastily.The instructor looks at me with a raised eyebrow, confusion written all over his face."Yeah, that just makes it so evident that you are lying because that kind of act doesn't warrant a level two detention. In fact,
Serena's POVHe is now gazing at me, and I observe as his eyes trail down towards my lips while he suddenly licks his, and then that strange, powerful sensation and desire courses through my body once again, making me feel as though a vibrating force is moving through my veins, and I quickly look away from him.Oh fucking goddess, this is already becoming too much to bear.I need to get done with what I am doing here with him so I can just get out of here as fast as I can.Moreover, I think I must have already spent way more than the entire ten minutes the instructor gave to me."Okay, so I'm just going to go straight to the point and state why I'm here," I begin as quickly as I can, trying to keep my voice as low as possible."I am not here to help you or anything. I need to ask a very huge favor and I don't care if you can remain here in this detention center until probably midnight or so before you get back home. All
I chuckle nervously as they both begin to lead me out of the school straight towards Luna's vehicle that is waiting at the garage.We all step inside quickly, and I embrace myself tightly, leaning my head against the window and gazing out without any intention of starting up any conversation.I can feel their gazes observing me intently, and I know they have a lot of questions in their heads, but nobody says anything.Yeah, that is the reason why I love my friends so much.They understand me as a person, and they know when it's time to say something and when not to say something.I just know one thing for sure.Right now, I am not in the mood to talk, and I am not in the mood to say anything.I just want to be by myself right now.And I am still thinking about that when that beautiful, gorgeous face pops up in my head once again, and it makes me groan with so much annoyance. I don't know how, but I lif
I pick up my backpack and fling it over my shoulder before getting up and making my way straight to the entrance of the detention hall."Uhmm, hello? Excuse me, Mr. Damon, where the hell are you going? Did you perhaps lose your senses?" he asks, forcing me to stop few meters away from the entrance as I close my eyes and exhale deeply."I need to go home, Mr. Carlos."He laughs out loud and taps his palm against the table in front of him with so much disbelief in his voice."I'm seriously having a hard time trying to understand you, Damon, and I can't actually believe my eyes are witnessing this. But who the hell do you think you are? Do you think because of the powerful and strong influence of your father, you can just go on about doing anything you want without abiding by the law and think you'll just get away easy with it?"I take a deep breath and rake my fingers through my hair as I slowly turn around to look at him.
"That doesn't answer our question," Luna interrupts, forcing me to look at both of them with frustration as I finally slap my palm against my forehead."Okay fine, since you are so adamant and stubborn. I evaded detention, okay? I just really couldn't sit back there and allow Serena to be alone back at home.""Well, she's not alone, and we are right here, so I don't think she actually needs you."I look at both of them with a heavy frown.Why the hell are they suddenly being such jerks right now?I exhale and shake my head before walking over and avoiding their presence as I stumble into the kitchen to realize that Serena is not there.I look back into the sitting room to see both of them gazing at me with their arms folded."Where is she?" I ask, but none of them replies to me, and it makes me look at them with a pleading gaze."Come on guys, are you seriously planning on hiding her from me?"
The entire atmosphere is darkened by an extremely powerful range of energy that seems to be tearing through every single veil so present in the entire scenario.Tension in the air makes Serena's body begin to tremble, and she feels the extreme energy moving through her veins while she tries to create a balance within herself so she doesn't lose control.She clenches her fists tight, feeling her heart palpitating extremely fast without control in her chest as the witches and wizards draw closer and closer.The strange dark energy hovering all over their bodies makes the entire situation much more difficult for her to comprehend as her lips tremble and her hands begin to shake without control.Damon turns quickly and looks at her with worry in his expression.He moves closer to her and takes hold of her hand, gripping tightly against her palm as he gazes ahead of him, keeping his own attention on the dangerous individuals coming closer towards them."Calm down, Serena, okay? Just relax.
Damon shakes his head with determination and extends his hands, pulling me back a step, slowly backing away as the wizard glares, a strange, particularly green light flashing endlessly in his irises."We are offering you a last chance, Damon," the wizard speaks, and Damon shakes his head, chuckling as he throws his head back, laughing slightly."This is the third time you have said you are offering me a last chance. How many last chances do you feel you need to keep offering me in order to make it known to you that there is nothing that will make me let her go, and I am not leaving her in your wicked hands for you to deal with anyhow you wish.""This is not your affair to meddle with, Damon. This is totally beyond you, and you have no idea what you are doing. You don't know what she is, you don't know what she is capable of. She needs to be taken under our wing so that we can handle her to the best of our ability.""Okay, then why don't you be a wise wizard and tell me why the hell sh
Fear takes over my entire spirit, so intense that I turn my head to look at him. Damon looks excessively determined not to let me go, staring at the demonic-looking wizard standing before them. He seems to shine brightly all over his figure.Damon holds me tightly, and I continue to look at him with shock and admiration at how willing he is to protect me, even in the face of this dreadful experience."I am so sorry, but it is going to take more than a silly threat to get what you want," he replies, and I watch as the fellow chuckles, his head shaking before his eyelids close intensely. He opens them again."I really do not want things to go the hard way, Damon," he says. "Like I said, I respect your dynasty, and I do not want you to do anything that will come between the business of the House of Van Allen. So please, just respect yourself and step out of our business.""Okay, fine. I'm going to step out of your business if you can just tell me one thing," Damon says as the wizard gla
Serena's POVI remain against the ground, crawling backward as the wizard begins to move closer towards me, extending his hand and resuming the dangerous sorcery he was about to perform against me.But he is unable to complete that when we hear a very loud growl coming from behind him.Both of us turn our heads to behold a bizarre-looking wolf that jumps against him, gripping tightly against his neck and swinging him toward another direction.Good goddess, that is Damon's full wolf self, and it takes me completely off guard to behold how huge and gigantic and extremely terrifying he looks right now.I continue to step backward, observing the battle between Damon and the wizard when another presence catches my attention.I quickly look up to behold the other witches and wizards whom we had neglected all this while, slowly moving towards me with an urgency."Let's take this chance. We can't perform the ritual he
At this point in time, I suddenly lose control of myself, and I feel a very strong, dark, vibrating force that takes perfect control all over my body.The next thing I see at first is complete, total darkness, and then within a few minutes, I finally begin to observe my surroundings, but everything is not the usual normal color of the human eye which I can perceive.All I can make out is complete, thick red all over me, and I can behold the organs of all the witches and wizards standing in front of me."Oh great, something is about to get freakish right now."Damon's POVThe fear that is rocking through my senses is severe as I grip tightly against the jaw of the angry-looking dog in front of me. I twist its neck, rendering it completely lifeless before tossing it aside.Then I turn my head to behold Serena far away, being surrounded by the cloaked figures, stretching their hands toward her as if about to cast a spell o
My heart skips a beat the moment he says that, and I quickly look up at him, pulling down his head to look at me. "Are you fucking stupid? That is a very wrong move to make right now. You should have observed and realized how dangerous these people are. Why the hell would you be suggesting a fight? Do you want to get yourself killed?" I find myself blurting out at him, but he smiles down at me. "Calm down, Serena, okay? I know what I'm doing, and I promise you that nothing is going to happen to either of us. This is really, really crazy, though, and I don't really know why I feel like I should really hold on to you and protect you with all my life, but considering how our lives have been previously, a few months ago, my first option in this kind of scenario would have been for me to just hand you over to them so they can get rid of you instantly, but right now, I really just can't explain or understand what the hell you
I don't know why, but it only feels as though his words are like honey and milk and butter all mixed together, brushing against the strings of my heart and making me feel so warm and so soft deep down within.It feels so overwhelming and so surprisingly peaceful as I grip tightly against him as though he is my life support."We really do not want to beat about the bush right now, and we want things to be so easy," I suddenly hear a very deep, manly voice coming from one of the cloaked figures, and it makes it so obvious that this person is really indeed a wizard because his voice isn't coming out with the normal, natural sound that everyone knows. It is coming out as though he is speaking through a microphone, something like an echo."Give us the girl, and we are going to be on our way," he continues, and I feel Damon tremble all the while he is still holding me tightly against himself.My heartbeat accelerates the moment the fellow says that
The light is so bright and sharp, capable of piercing through the strongest element.Damon is swift enough to quickly push me away before bending down backward slowly and evading the attack of the light that flashed in between us.We watch as it strikes a building a few meters away from us and cracks a segment of it, allowing a huge amount of debris to fall to the Earth."Oh crap," I think to myself as I turn my head to glance at the cloaked fellow, who is now walking toward us with a very sharp, determined intensity, and from what I can figure out right now, I don't know why I'm feeling as though this particular fellow is coming after no one else except me.His entire focus and attention are totally on me, and I can feel it."We need to get out of here, Serena," Damon says and quickly takes hold of my hand, about to lead me to another section when a similarly bright greenish light manifests a few meters away and then vanishes t
"Am I the only one who heard that?" he asks, and I swiftly turn my head to look at him, biting down against my bottom lip."Well, you are definitely not the only one," I say as I continue to look around.He also extends his hands, slowly moving backward and gradually squatting to the ground as if preparing to get into his battle attack mode."Something doesn't smell right here," he says and swiftly begins to sniff the entire surroundings. "We are totally not alone," he says, and this, as usual, begins to make my heartbeat increase extremely fast in my chest as I clench my fists tightly together, trying to contain the pressure moving through my body."If you know what is good for you, Serena, you will have to do everything within your power to unleash your capacity to the maximum so we can bolt out of here and not encounter anything deadly."I bite down hard against my lip as I observe him intensely with fury."And I fuc
