Cruella felt her heart shatter into a million pieces as Ethan pushed her to the side and walked into the lecture hall with his guys. They were all laughing as they entered and she finally realized it was all planned.
How could she have been blinded by love to let her guard down? This meant he never loved her from scratch and was only trying to get into her panties and now that's done, he's finally showing her his true personality. “Cruella! Cruella are you okay?” Cruella heard Swayer's voice but she wasn't ready to face anyone now. She wasn't even sure if she could still trust Swayer at this point since Ethan had stabbed her in the back. “Cruella, come on,we can just skip the morning lectures until you feel better. First we need to take down that video.” Swayer said and grabbed Cruella's hand but she yanked it off. “Don't touch me! You're all the same! You humans are so cruel! How could I have been so blind?! How could I have thought my life would change for the better here?!” Cruella cried out, holding her chest as it ached her badly. It felt like thousands of tiny needles had been pierced into her heart. Swayer felt sorry for Cruella but at the same time she felt perplexed at Cruella's words. She just assumed it was the pain that was making her talk that way and chose to ignore it. “Ella, I know you're hurting right now and I'm sorry I wasn't there to protect you. I swear if I had known that was Ethan's plan all along I would never have suggested going to that party.” Swayer rushed her words, trying to console her friend but Cruella only cried even more. Right now all she wanted was to go back to Greenville and keep getting bullied for not having powers. It would be better than staying here where everyone had seen her s*x video which was done without her knowledge. Now they were not only calling her useless but a slut as well. She couldn't take the embarrassment anymore. “What did I ever do moon goddess?! Why didn't you make me like one of them? Why did you give me such a cruel fate? Why didn't you just kill me right from birth?!” She yelled and Swayer hugged her tight even with her struggles. “I'm sorry this had to happen to you Cruella. I'm so sorry. I'm so sorry.” Swayer said and began crying as well. Even though Cruella was older than her by a year, she still saw her as her little sister who needed guidance and protection. She wondered who the moon goddess was that she was calling out to but that wasn't important right now. “Come on Ella. Don't show them your weakness. Don't let them win. It's humiliating I know but this is just what they want. To see you suffer, to see you defeated.” Swayer said and began rubbing Cruella's back as she cried on her shoulders. “I have a friend who can hack into the original account that posted the video and take it down. That alone will take down all the shared videos as well. We will skip lectures for today and tomorrow you'll show no more tears. Don't give them any chance to hurt you anymore.” Swayer added and Cruella finally stopped crying and raised her head. Her eyes were already red and swollen. “Are you going to betray me as well?” She stuttered her question. Right now, Swayer was the only one she had and she didn't know what she would do if Swayer turned her back on her as well. “Of course not. You're like my sister and I fucking hate that son of a bitch right now for making you cry. Come on, let's go back to the dorm.” Swayer said with a faint smile before raising Cruella up and they began walking away from the building. “We have a test tomorrow, are we supposed to miss classes today?” Cruella asked as they entered their room, yes, they were roommates too. “We can just go to the lab tonight and study on our own. We will definitely pass the test.” Swayer said with a smile and kissed Cruella's forehead. “Get some rest, I'll call my friend now to take the video down.” she added before leaving the room. “What's the point anyways, everyone has already seen it.” Cruella muttered before taking out her phone. She searched for the site and it was the first video on the playlist. She clicked play and tears began falling out again as she watched the video. She could still remember how she had begged him to stop because of the pain she felt. Now she understood why he didn't stop because somewhere, there was a camera recording them. She got a message on her phone and exited the site to check what it was. Surprisingly, it was a message from Ethan. “Hey babe, no hard feelings. I really enjoyed our night, can we meet up tonight again?” Cruella's eyes widened at his text. Was this the devil she had been dating for two years now? How could she not have noticed this? Of course she wouldn't notice because he's been a sweetheart to her all those while since she was yet to spread her legs for him. “Fuck you!” She texted back and immediately blocked his line. The door came open and Swayer walked in with a smile. “My friend is already on it. The video will be down in half an hour.” She said, and Cruella bounced her head. “Hey cheer up. S*x isn't something to be ashamed of. I'm just sorry it had to be with that asshole.” Swayer said with a sigh. “Easy for you to say, you're still a virgin.” Cruella scoffed. “Ouch. I'm trying to make you feel better here, don't take your anger out on me!” Swayer scolded but later smiled sweetly. “I know what will make you feel better... Chocolate cake!” Swayer gushed but Cruella only laid on the bed and shut her eyes. “Fine or you can just sleep.” She added before laying next to her. “Everything will be alright.” She whispered in Cruella's ear before wrapping her arm around her and shutting her eyes as well. *** “So what exactly am I expected to find here? Is it the heat of combustion or the entropy change?” Cruella asked with furrowed brows. They were in the lab as planned since they had a test the next morning. They've been studying for an hour now and Swayer's tommy was beginning to grumble. “I think we should pause now, I'm starving.” Swayer said with a cute pout. “Me too. Should we go back...” “No need, I'll just get us something to eat at the cafeteria.” Swayer said, and Cruella bounced her head. Meanwhile at the front of the building, Maeve and her minions had just arrived at the building with a big padlock, all wearing black to avoid being seen. “And you're sure she's in there?” Maeve asked one of the girls. “Yes I saw her going in with some books.” The girl replied and Maeve immediately hooked the padlock on the gate, bolting it and throwing the key away. “Let's see how you'll make it to the test building tomorrow bitch. No one messes with me and goes free.” Maeve said with a smirk and the other girls giggled. “Shush! C'mon, let's go before someone sees us.” She said and the girls ran off immediately. Back in the building, Cruella checked her time and wondered why Swayer was yet to come back with the food. She was about to go look for Swayer but suddenly began perceiving something. “Is that smoke?” She asked and almost immediately, the fire alarm went off. Her eyes widened and she wondered where the fire had come from. She immediately packed up her books and that of Swayer as well then ran towards the lab door but what welcomed her when she opened the door was frightening. Everywhere was already covered in smoke and her heartbeat skyrocketed as she thought of Swayer's whereabouts. “Swayer!!” She yelled and began running towards the cafeteria but the fire had already gotten to that area. She decided to go get help and silently prayed Swayer was okay but on getting to the exit of the building, she couldn't open the door. She pushed the door over and over again but it wouldn't open. “Somebody help!” Cruella yelled and coughed at the same time as the smoke was starting to choke her. She yelled once more before running back into the building. She needed to save Swayer first then they would later figure out a way to get out but on getting to the hallway, the ceiling suddenly collapsed, blocking her from going anywhere. She turned back and the fire had already covered the exit. Her vision became blurry and she could hardly breathe well. She had already taken in too much smoke and needed fresh air. Cruella fell to the ground, gasping for air while the fire spread and more walls collapsed. “Swayer.” she muttered before the walls around her collapsed on her and everywhere went silent except for the sound of the blazing flame as it burnt the entire building to the ground.Cruella slowly opened her eyes and at first, her vision was blurry but soon became clear as crystals which was a slight surprise since she didn't have that kind of vision. She almost got lenses but didn't have time to see an ophthalmologist and now she's opening her eyes with perfect vision? She slowly raised herself up and found herself in an unfamiliar bed, in an unfamiliar room wearing unfamiliar clothes. “Where am I?” She asked and immediately squeezed her face as she felt so hungry. She's never been this hungry before and she was confused as to what was happening. Not only did she have clear vision but felt very thirsty and hungry at the same time. Her last memory was that of the heavy blocks falling on her and then she blacked out. She suddenly remembered Swayer and jumped out of the bed. If she was still alive after everything, she hoped Swayer would be too. Almost immediately, the door came open and an elderly man holding a food tray walked in. He had a shocked expressi
Cruella clenched her fist as she watched the students crying while dropping flowers on the altar made in memory of Swayer. She couldn't even imagine how her mother would feel and she felt too guilty to pay them a visit. She also feared for their safety at this point, she didn't want to go to them and ended up killing them like she had killed Gerald. She still felt guilty over his death. Even though it wasn't her fault, she felt she had taken away someone's father or brother or friend. She knew nothing about him though but he must have had a family. “She was such a good influence in this school. I'm really going to miss her.” Maeve said before placing her flower on the table and covering her face to make it seem like she was crying. Cruella felt her blood boil and she wanted to go over there and rip Maeve's spine out of her body but she had to wait for the perfect time. She didn't want them to see her yet and so she had to control her anger, just for a little while. Soon, th
As Cruella's bones kept changing positions making her vulnerable, the girls thought of it as an opportunity to run but Maeve saw it as an opportunity to get revenge. She was frightened by Cruella's sudden strength but now that she was going through whatever this is, she wanted to teach her a lesson. “Come on Maeve, let's get out of here.” One of her minions said. It's obvious the girl was fucking scared but Maeve cared less. “After all she did to you, you're just going to let her be? You're an even bigger coward.” Maeve hissed and walked closer to Cruella. The way her bones were shifting was really abnormal and it freaked the girls out but Maeve didn't care anymore. “Maeve now isn't the time for revenge. Let's fucking get out of here now.” The girl with a broken wrist begged. “She'll still come after us later. Let's end it here and now.” Maeve said and grabbed Cruella's hair. “Now you listen to me bitch. I don't know what the hell happened to you in that fire but just cause you go
The police had blocked the entrance of the building with their yellow tape to show it was now a restricted area. After Cruella left, someone tried getting into the room and since the door wasn't opening, she called for others attention and they broke down the door, shocked by the view in front of them. The girl screamed and immediately ran out of the building while the guys stared at the bodies in confusion. “What happened here?” One of them asked but no one answered him since everyone had the same question on their minds. “We should call the corps.” Another said and immediately dialed 911. “This doesn't seem human, maybe a wild animal?” Another asked and that's when they noticed the broken window. Two of them slowly walked into the room, avoiding stepping on the body parts until they got to the window. “The beast must have run out from here.” One of them said and suddenly ran out of the room. If there was a wild beast lurking around campus, then he doesn't wanna be anyw
Cruella blinked severally just to be sure she wasn't hallucinating. How could she possibly be in Greenville when she went nowhere near the borderline? She had initially planned on returning after taking care of Maeve and Ethan but now that she's finally back, she wasn't happy. “How long has it been? Two years?” She heard an unfamiliar voice and turned around to see an elderly woman. “Who are you?” She asked with a frown. The lady smiled at her and all of a sudden, she began glowing. The radiant was so bright that Cruella had to cover her eyes and when it stopped, she opened it back. Her eyes widened on seeing the young woman before her. She was clothed in a white stainless garment but it still didn't hide her perfect figure. Her hair was no longer grey like it was when she was an elderly woman but now silver and it was very long, stopping at her knees. Cruella knew she had seen this cave before when she was younger but never asked about it since she was more concerned with gett
(FOUR DECADES AGO ) “Did you hear the news?” Elsa asked Margery who was struggling to get a stain off her garment. Sheila, her elder sister who sat beside Elsa suddenly stopped washing, and raised her head. “What news could be more important than this? We have an assignment after this or have you forgotten?” Sheila asked with a frown. “Gosh clam down already sis. We are three powerful witches, we will definitely get that helux spell.” Margery said with a smile. They were in their final year in witch school and had been paired in groups of three for an assignment. They were to perform the helux spell, a very powerful spell that combines the minds and bodies of as many individuals into one. The spell was as dangerous as it was wonderful because if done wrong, the minds of the victims would be forever shattered and they might die in the process. Whoever performed the spell right would be selected as the new royal witch and sent to the palace to assist the king and queen as ordered b
“Margery became the princess and when Arthur was crowned the new king of Greenville, she became the queen.” Gwen replied and Cruella smiled. “And they had a kid, right? The kid grew up and got married and had other children and that's where I fall under right? That's why I am a Tribrid right?” Cruella asked all at once. “Well you're right about one thing. They had a kid but not under the circumstances you imagined.” Gwen replied and Cruella frowned a bit. “So, what happened?” “King Arthur never got to meet his child in fact, he died mysteriously a year after his marriage to the late queen.” Gwen replied. “How did he die?” Cruella asked curiously. “No one knows. They couldn't tell what killed him.” “But you should know right? You could see everything.” Cruella stated and Gwen bounced her head. “Yes, I could see everything but I don't know how to describe what I saw that day so it's best to leave it as a mysterious death.” Gwen replied and Cruella bounced her head. “So how did
Gwen sighed as she watched Cruella slumber. She could vividly see the pain on her face, it was obvious she was hurting and she wished she could have prevented it all from happening but she couldn't do that. She couldn't mess with the future by preventing the past. She gently stroked Cruella's hair, brushing a strand behind her ear and Cruella stirred a bit before opening her eyes. For a split second she wanted to ask where she was but suddenly remembered. “Good morning.” Gwen greeted her with a smile. Cruella slowly raised herself from the bed, glancing around the room. “Is it morning already? I didn't even sleep long.” She said with a sigh and Gwen chuckled. “Well it is and you should get changed, I brought you clean clothes.” She said pointing at the neatly folded clothes on the small couch. “Why are you being so nice to me?” Cruella suddenly asked, taking Gwen by surprise. “I have no specific reason dear. I just want you to know you can trust me after all that's happened to
***AUTHOR'S POV*** “Strip” Jason's words replayed in Cruella's head and as much as her hands wanted to yank the towel off her body, her mind kept warning her not to. She knew the chances of her sleeping with Jason would be high if she did that, and he might just mark her in the process. She shook her head and took a step back, forcing back her desires as her expression became a bit serious. “I don't think now is the time for that, Jason.” Cruella said a bit hesitantly. She wanted to give in to her desires but she couldn't possibly do that at the cost of Sebastian and Kyle's life. That would have to wait for now until she figured out a way to fulfill the prophecy without losing her mates. “Is something wrong?” Jason asked with an apologetic gaze but Cruella shook her head. “No nothing is wrong. I just have to get some rest. You know, save my strength for my duel.” Cruella responded while brushing a strand of her hair behind her ear. “Oh I see. You'll definitely crush it, Cruel
***JASON'S POV***I stared at the queen with burning rage, her words replaying at the back of my head. “You must be joking.” I said through gritted teeth. She might have somehow caught my father in her trap but she won't be able to manipulate me the same way, I made sure of that for over ten years when I decided to move to the academy.“By now you should know that I don't joke with things like this. If you won't do it then I'll simply find someone else to court her—”“Stay the f*ck away from her!” I thundered, my wolf trying to surge forward but I pushed him back in as I didn't want to put my father in harms way. “Seeing how you're being so protective of her, I'm assuming you're already smitten by her.” She stated this with an amused smile.I couldn't let her know Cruella was my mate, I didn't want to give her any leverage over me. “I don't know what sick plan you have, but I'm warning you, leave Cruella out of this!” I growled, my eyes glowing bright gold but she seemed unfazed by
The dinner with the Queen has been peaceful so far. Cruella tried her best to stay composed and focused on her meal. She hoped that it would remain quiet until it was time to go, but luck wasn't on her side as Sheila began questioning her. “So I hear you recently enrolled in Greenville Academy. Where did you school before that?” Sheila asked and Cruella froze. She didn't prepare for any of this as the invitation came so suddenly and she knew if she said the wrong thing, she would give herself away. “I was homeschooled.” She lied and Sheila furrowed her brows. “Really? Your parents must be so protective of you to keep you hidden for so long.” Sheila stated and Cruella almost rolled her eyes. Her so-called adoptive mother didn't give a pigeon's wing about her existence, and was more than delighted to cast her away. Protective? What an irony. “Yeah, you could say that, your majesty.” Cruella responded after a while. She glanced at Carly who gave her a thumbs up before focusing o
“Carly, what are you doing?” Cruella asked Carly who has been throwing things around for almost a minute now.“I'm looking for the perfect outfit for you to wear. You need to look your best if you want to impress the Queen.” Carly gushed but Cruella frowned.“Impress her? What I want to do is separate her head from her body. I should wear something comfortable enough to fight in and not to impress her.” She stated, not hiding her resentment for Sheila.“I'm so sorry, Ella. I totally forgot about the whole revenge scheme.” Carly said with an apologetic gaze as she realized she had let her excitement get the best of her. She has never been to the palace before and knowing that her best friend got invited, she was more than happy to help her prepare, but the circumstances weren't as merry as her intentions.“I understand, Carly. I didn't mean to be hard on you. You could come with me if you like.” Cruella suggested, and Carly's jaw dropped. “I could?” She asked just to be sure.“You hea
“Harder!” Carly yelled and Cruella intensified her punching force as she kept throwing punches at the sandbag. “I still don't get the point of doing this. I already know how to throw a punch.” Cruella stated while keeping her focus on the sandbag. “I don't think you understand the stakes here, Cruella. China might seem weak but that's only because she's been holding back. Her father is a high ranking official amongst the royal counsel and she's had years of training. She would crush you at the duel if you should underestimate her.” Carly warned and Cruella turned to her. “The more reason why I should be practicing my spells or rather training my wolf. The duel is in two days and all I've been doing is punching a sandbag!” Cruella snapped and Carly rolled her eyes. “Actually all you've done is complain about everything and miss the whole point of this training.” Carly stated with a deadpan expression. “And the point is?” Cruella asked with furrowed brows. “Patience. You're so eage
Cruella stirred in her sleep, and her eyes fluttered open, her vision blurry at first but after a few seconds, it cleared up. She sat up straight while holding her head as she looked around and realized she was back at her lodge.“What? How did I get here?” She asked no one in particular. She stared at her empty bed for a second and almost immediately, the memories of the previous night hit her hard. She remembered kissing Kyle, and desperately begging to be touched, and... The door suddenly opened, interrupting Cruella's thoughts. “Finally, you're awake.” Carly said as she walked into the room. She stopped right next to the bed, her arms folded across her chest.“What happened?” Cruella asked, feeling perplexed.“You tell me.” Carly responded, her gaze hard as she awaited Cruella's response.“I... I don't remember.” Cruella stuttered.Carly creased her brows. “You Don't Remember?” She asked word for word.“At least not everything. I can't remember how I got here but...” Cruella trai
“Well don't just stand there, do something!” Carly yelled and they all exchanged glances.“What do you want us to do?” Kyle asked with a shrug.“Anything we do now would be seen as taking advantage of her.” Sebastian added.“And after what happened between her and that human guy, we can't do that to her.” Jason concluded and all three bobbed their heads in agreement.“Is it me or is it hot in here?” Cruella asked breathlessly as she ran a hand down from her neck, down to her boobs, in a seductive way.Carly groaned, obviously annoyed by the outcome of events. “Well, she's your mate, so handle her!” She snapped as she pushed Cruella towards them, Sebastian swiftly caught her and Carly walked away immediately, not giving them a second to say another word.She had a sly grin on her face as she did so. “You owe me one, Cruella.” She said to herself as she went over to the drink counter, and helped herself out to one.Cruella immediately wrapped her hands around Sebastian's neck, her gaze
When Carly and Cruella left the room, they ran into China who had a scowl on her face.“Well someone seems to be having a bad night.” Carly said with a smirk and China rolled her eyes.“I don't have time to waste on the likes of you.” China responded and made to walk past them but halted. Her gaze shifted to Cruella and she smiled, a smile that didn't reach her eyes. “You look better than I thought, for someone who got involved in an accident.” she smirked and Cruella furrowed her brows.“How did you know that?” She asked curiously.China chuckled. “Who did you think was driving the truck?” She asked and Cruella widened her eyes in shock but then her gaze suddenly darkened and she swiftly pinned China to the wall, her hands pressed tightly against China's neck.“You just keep giving me reasons to end this pathetic life of yours.” Cruella said through gritted teeth.“I'm not afraid of you Cruella.” China responded with a smile on her face even though Cruella was literally choking the l
Cruella sat on the grass, her head resting on the marble stone as she cried her heart out. The stone had a bold inscription of the name, Swayer Sapphire. “You're probably the only human who remembers me now, if only you were alive as well.” Cruella said, her tears freely flowing down her face. She raised her head from the marble, and wiped her eyes. She stared at Swayer's name and ran her finger through the inscription.“I'm so sorry, Swayer. For everything. It was all my fault and I know it now. You didn't deserve any of it, and I wish I could take it back, all of it.” she sniffed.“You probably hate me by now. Like Mrs. Cushion said, You're probably disgusted —”“No she's not.” Cruella turned to her side in shock and her eyes widened a bit.“Sebastian?” She called just to be sure he was the one.“I'm certain wherever she is, she's really proud of you.” Cruella turned to her left and her eyes widened even more.“Jason,”“Like we all are.” She heard another voice turned in the direct
