Narek's POV I was in pain, my heart was squeezing with jealousy and uncertain hatred for the young wolf. I banged the huge mahogany door and rested my back on it. Images of how he held Nyx to himself with so much passion and possessiveness clouded my head and I felt my heart wrench again. "Why am I feeling this way?" I asked rhetorically, closing my eyes and resting my head on the door as well. "I shouldn't be feeling this way, I sent Nyx away from me. I was the one that requested that she doesn't get intimate with me for her own good but now I'm filled with jealousy" I murmured, folding my hand in a tight fist. "Otis Agni, how dare he?" I gritted through clenched teeth. The scene kept replaying in my head as I slowly walked away from the door, heading to my personal room to lie on my bed. Instinctively, I grabbed the vase on the table in the corner of my room and smashed it to the floor out of anger. My demon let out a dangerous, guttural growl as I grabbed another item and
Miss Pendleton's POV I appeared in the Uren pack, my eyes glistening with excitement. I needed to break the news to Sylvia, I'm certain she would be overjoyed just as I am. The guards at the entrance gate immediately stopped me as soon as they saw me coming. The one I suspected to be the chief guard because of his royal uniform which stood out amongst the others walked up to me with an unfriendly gaze. I folded my hands over my chest and stared darkly at him. I wouldn't blame any of them for trying to stop me, I am not a regular visitor to the pack, and neither do any of them know about my relationship with their Luna. The chief guard sniffed the air around me and frowned deeply, "You are no wolf and you definitely do not smell like a human. Who are you and what is your mission here?" He demanded. I rolled my eyes tiredly, "I am the principal of Salvador Academy and I am here to see the queen. If you wouldn't mind, I would appreciate you staying out of my way. As you must know
Nyx's POV The walk back to the main school building was slow, I felt like a huge black cloud hung over my head as I plopped down to the classroom. Narek's coldness to me earlier was like a stab in my chest. He looked hurt on seeing me and Otis together and on a normal basis, I shouldn't even be bothered about it or let it worry me. But I can't help feeling terrible about myself and my actions. I wanted to explain things to him and tell him all about my relationship with Otis and this new development as well. It shouldn't matter but it feels like a part of me will wither and die if I don't tell him everything. Bel whimpered sadly in my head, she is hurt about Narek's actions too. Claire as well showed concern for our pain, she sat quietly in a corner of my mind observing every action. "There you are!" Narin exclaimed, looping her arms around mine, "I've been searching all over Salvador for you" she added and pulled me closer to herself. "Clyde asked me to get you, he saw how you
Nyx's POV "I know just the right thing to do. Narin, is the offer about taking care of all of our enemies like this one still valid?" I asked with a smug grin, staring straight into Penelope's eyes. She cowered at my words but feigned she was bold with a smirk plastered on her face. Her chin was held high and her eyes were also staring directly into mine. I could see the fear in them but her body composure said otherwise. "I am not afraid of you" she stated with her hands on her waist, I almost laughed at how childlike her stance looked. "No one asked you to," I told her with an evil smirk and walked closer to her. She took a small step backward and my brows rose. "I just want to ask you questions, so stop fidgeting and hear me out. They are basic questions and so you shouldn't have a hard time answering" I smiled sweetly and folded my hands across my chest. She eyed me from up to down, "What do you want from me?" I poked her face like a bully would do to its prey, "Answers"
Emmett's POV A loud ear-piercing cry for help rang in the air as I bit deeply on the fleshy neck of one of my prey. Closing my lips around her neck and holding her in place to stop her from moving frantically, I feasted on her blood. She had a look of horror on her features as I sucked on and on. After a while her eyes began to drop and she was no more struggling. She was slowly giving in to death but I did not mind but kept suckling on her neck without letting go like a tick. I finally let go of her tired body and let out a satisfied growl while watching her fall limply on the floor. Probably dead but I don't care. I wiped my blood-stained lips with a kerchief and smiled to myself, "That was some good meal" I smirked, "Fresh and succulent. It's so sad I didn't want you to keep living" I dropped the kerchief on her corpse. "Poor girl" I clicked my tongue as I stared down at her terribly-looking bite mark and exposed skin. Her eyes were wide open and staring at nothing in particu
Nyx’s POV I and Narin walked down to the school’s cafeteria after the lunch bell went while chuckling within ourselves as we watched Penelope’s crazy dance video. She got what she deserved for partaking in making my stay in Salvador hell but I have no plans of releasing the video to all the students to see, though I threatened her that I would. Penelope had run away from our sight after we made her stop dancing with tears in her eyes. It was so funny to watch the tough witch run out like a helpless little girl, at least she now knows how painful it is to be bullied by your fellow student as well. We settled on the chair Clyde was sitting on and slowly munching his meal, “That was hilarious Nyx, you should have seen her face as she struggled to get through the crowd” Narin burst out laughing. I simply picked up a juice box from my tray and sipped it while smiling. Clyde was quiet which was unlike him, he would have requested to know what was going on between us but instead, he
Nyx’x POV Narek requested my presence through the handwritten note, I felt my cheeks redden at his cute gesture. According to the letter, Narek revealed that he has something important to discuss with me, I slowly sat up from my seat and folded the letter into my uniform pocket. “Excuse me guys, I need to go attend to something important” I referred to the letter and sent Narin a knowing glance. “Nyx wait!” Clyde stopped me by pulling my arm from behind, “I have something to tell you too, if you are not busy tonight, can we meet?” he requested and I thought about it. Seeing Narek now would only take a while and with how things are between us, I bet it would be uncomfortable to overstay my welcome which means I would be free later tonight. “Sure, where do you have in mind?” I returned and he beamed. “We can meet beneath the oak tree in the center of the garden. Thank you so much Nyx” he replied and I shrugged. “Well, I could use a listening ear, a lot has been going on with m
Nyx's POV The temple door flung open and Aunt Garcia walked in almost immediately, her heels clicking loudly on contact with the hard temple floor. "Louvre Scwesh fant demundo" I heard Narek chant almost as soon as Miss Pendleton entered but did not pay much attention to it. Aunt Garcia's sharp eyes wandered around the room and I felt like my heart had stopped beating. My face was pallid and I was involuntarily holding my breath. I had been caught in the act, she personally warned me about going extreme with my tutor but what was I doing? Strangely enough, Aunt Garcia did not seem to see us no matter how much she looked in our direction. I slowly turned to Narek with raised brows. "I cast an invisibility spell, she can't see us," he said in his mind but I heard it clearly like he was in my head. "What is going on?" I demanded rhetorically in my mind but he heard it like he could read my thoughts. "I know, I will explain later but first, dress up properly" he gestured towards
Nyx's POV "Noooo" I yelled and fell to my knees. Ms. Toddleboar's warning resounded in my eardrums. "A war is coming and it is your fight. It is going to be a deadly one, you will lose your loved ones but at last, you shall be victorious. But you have to be ready and face all you meet, else you fall into the darkness and your ability taken away from you like it never existed in the first place" This was what she was speaking about, my eyes turned to Narek who was sprawled on the floor, his eyes held so much pain as he gazed into mine. Aman stood above him, panting heavily as blood trickled down his injured face. Clyde's tattoos and runes had finally wiped away from his skin and he fell limply to the floor, drained. Tears gushed out of my eyes as I clasped my hand over my mouth and cried bitterly. Aman moved away from Narek's side and joined Otis who was standing beside Sylvia. "No, no, no this can't be happening" I muttered breathlessly, running towards Narek who was hardly
Nyx's POV "I came back as soon as I sensed you were out of your hiding after searching for you all over the woods. How dare you stress me out like that!" Sylvia scolded me. Her voice was coated in anger which she had bottled up in her chest. I rolled my eyes inwardly. "You ingrate, I have tried everything to explain things to you but you wouldn't adhere. In the long run, you too shall be rewarded greatly only if you and your aunt allowed this exercise to take place. But what did you two do instead? Invite your weak friends to stand up against us and now you are yelling for us to stop tormenting them" "I am no ingrate Sylvia and I wish to remind you that this mission will remain impossible as far as I am still alive and breathing" I retorted and she smiled darkly. "Even if it costs the life of your dear mate and friends?" She asked while raising her hands in the air and at the same time, a dark energy enveloped Otis, Narek, and Clyde, raising them high in the sky as they struggl
Nyx's POV After some time of resting just like Clyde suggested, the antidote worked fervently and Claire bounced back to life in minutes. I was glad she was now safe but at the same time, I needed to make sure my mates, Narek and Otis were okay as well. "No Nyx, it's dangerous. I can't let you go out there alone" Clyde stopped me when I was about living our temporary hideout. "Then come with me. This is my battle Clyde and I won't be able to bear it if they lose their life in my place. Remember what happened in the case of Miss Pendleton, I wouldn't be able to bear losing another loved one to the hands of those evil beings" I returned stubbornly. He rubbed his face in frustration, "Still Nyx, I don't think it is right for you to come out to join the fight. I have been in a fight with Otis and I could tell you that with the ability he possesses, he will do well in taking care of the Sorcerers. Not to talk of Narek who is a master in the arts of magic, defense, and attacks" Clyde
Narek's POV The pain I felt from trying to break free from the barrier of radiant energy I was trapped in was agonizing and I roared loudly in frustration. My mind wandered back to Nyx who had run off long before now and Aman is back already. I wondered if she is safe and neither Aman nor Sylvia were able to get to her. Those sorcerers did not seem like they were going to give me some time to absorb the electrifying effects their cage was pushing into my skin as Gin formed some sort of dark ball and sent it my way. This was me in my vulnerable state, I was bound and unable to easily break free from the cocoon they put their hands together to create. It was a powerful one that was sizzling with electric fury and threatening to burn my skin as soon as I attempt breaking away. The dark ball penetrated into my chest and I howled out in pain, the effect constricting my heart in such a painful manner, I thought he was going to pull it out of my body. Odin did not seem like he was don
Otis's POV The Sorcerer who was standing just before Narek's frail body fell to the floor due to the impact of my wolf's collision with him and the older one instantly rushed to his side to help him up. I made my way to Narek's side, still in my wolf form, and licked his wounds to express my concern. He squinted his eyes at me, trying to make out my identity and when he did, he released a frustrated sigh. "Otis, you still came after all I told you" he grumbled and groaned in pain, "Nyx, have you seen her anywhere?" He managed to ask amidst the growl that was coming from his throat. Narek's bones began to crack and his skin color began to change, I could tell he was on the verge of transformation, and quickly stepped away from him. I had just taken four steps backward when my feet were suddenly swept off the floor but I was quick to regain my composure due to Xavier's inner strength and resilience. My eyes met with that of the older Sorcerer who was glaring at me coldly. He se
Narek's POV Once Nyx began running away from the evil sorcerers for safety, I raised my staff to the sky, my eyes gleaming with a mix of determination and a hint of uncertainty. The elders and late Miss Pendleton's sister sure were daring but I wouldn't want to appear frightened or intimidated by the presence. I would do all it takes to make sure Nyx is safe from them, even if it means fighting them off with my very last strength. "He will be easy to handle, Go on Sylvia. Get your daughter back to us, Gin can go with you" The older-looking elder in their midst stated. "No, I am going to fight him instead. He made a fool out of me earlier but it's high time I put him in his place" Gin snarled while glaring daggers at me. "I'm fine on my own Odin, I can find my daughter and bring her back without the help of anyone, let alone a weakling" Sylvia eyed Gin before snapping her fingers and disappearing into the air. "Good then, I guess it's worth a show" Odin cackled mischievously set
Nyx's POV With a swift speed, I never expected to possess, I grabbed Aunt Gacia and fell to the floor with her in my arms. Her face became pale in seconds and tears dropped from my eyes. She slowly reached for my face and wiped my tears away, smiling sadly. "That's him, the intruder!" One of the elders growled as he made to attack Narek who fought back with matching strength while the others stood on standby and watched on. "No, please don't die on me Aunt, we need to escape here together" I cried loudly, pulling her to my bosom. Her bleeding wound was already staining my hands but I did not mind. "Nyx, you must go now" she coughed, dark blood spurting out of her mouth. "No, I'm not going anywhere without you" I returned stubbornly, struggling to get her to stand on her feet. "Stop being stupid Nyx and save yourself" She clasped my hand, staring right into my eyes in pure concern. "I'm sorry I couldn't do much to help you but I believe it is not over until it is over. You mu
Nyx's POV "Garcia, haven't we waited long enough? Why is it taking so long to change?" The grumpy elder, Aman complained after he had asked Aunt Garcia to change her outfit to no avail. "Thank you Aunt" I whispered to her ear after she had broken the news about Narek coming to my rescue to me. She only squeezed my hand lovingly, a satisfied glint in her eyes, "anytime niece". Sylvia noticed the both of us and cast Garcia a warning glance, Miss Pendleton did not seem bothered by it anyways. "Garcia, a word" Mother requested, slowly moving away from the table where I lay and pulling Aunt Garcia alongside her. "Not again, why do you ladies always find a way to slow us down in everything" "Enough Aman, let the sisters talk" the Elder with the ancient book reprimanded grumpy Aman for always complaining. "What an insatiable being" I muttered under my breath as I glared at him from behind. I was certain this was Aunt Gacia's way of stalling them and I was grateful things were falling
Narek's POV I barged into Miss Pendleton's office, my fist clenched in anger and my face stoic and unsmiling. Her back was turned against me as she stood before the window at the back of her desk. Staring outside the bustling surroundings of the school, she sipped from the green mug she was holding in her hands. "What is this I hear about Nyx? She was abducted right under your nose and there's nothing you are doing to see to her return?" I asked in rage, trying my best to keep myself together and not cause a ruckus. Unlike me, miss Pendleton was at peace and did not seem so worried about anything. "Did they snitch on me already?" She chortled instead and sipped from her mug, "Whom did you hear about this from? Narin Oregon, her roommate or Otis Agni, Nyx's mate?" "That is not what is important at the moment Miss Pendleton" I returned through gritted teeth while tightening my hands which was in a fist. "I understand they are worried about her. Why wouldn't they? Nyx conside
