Nyx's POV We all retired to our various classes for learning. I made sure to be in class early enough so as not to get on Ms McMillan's bad side again. We were going to write a test on History and ethics just as she had stated in her last class. I settled comfortably on my desk and waited patiently for Ms. McMillan to show up for the tests so that I could get it over with. As if on cue, Ms McMillan walked inside the class alongside an older male teacher whose face was as stoic as that of Ms McMillan's. "Students, this is professor Merlinia and he will be assisting with the supervision of the tests today" She announced and gestured for the teacher to come forward. "I hope we can work together with ease?" The venerable wizard, Professor Merlinia, with a long flowing beard, stood at the front, ready to administer the examination. Ms McMillan stood at the farthest end of the classroom staring at us with hawk's eye. She made to poke her eyes with two of her fingers and pointing at
Nyx's POV "Where is this place you speak of? Is it in the school compound? Outside the gates of Salvador or worse still in the human world?" I asked curiously and Liz grinned evilly. "This shows your interest, I will make arrangements for our stay and trust me, the location is no place you should be afraid of, I will go with you remember" she smirked and touched my shoulder, letting her hand brush across my chest as she took it away from my body. "How do I know I can trust you?" I squinted my eyes at her suspiciously and she chuckled. "I mean no harm, princess of the Uren pack. I just want the best for you but if you feel I'm not to be trusted, you can disregard my offer to show you how you can get answers to the puzzling questions in your head. But if you are curious about your true identity and the reason you were created a hybrid or worse still, how you came about to have the blood of an exiled Clan running in your veins, then I suggest you do what is right. The ball is in y
Nyx's POV "I'm sure my relationship with Elrond is no news to you and you are well aware of the new development. I regret pushing Elrond away without giving him a chance at least and I have been trying to get to him to no avail. Elrond would not speak to me no matter how much I ask, he seems busy with his newfound girlfriend at all times and I feel left behind. I want to make things right between us even though we cannot be more than friends, I just can't continue to bear Elrond's cold shoulder towards me" Cindy complained and I gave her a cheeky grin. "So how exactly do you need my help because, from your explanation, this sounds like a 'You' problem, not a 'me' problem" I uttered, emphasizing on the you and me while wriggling two of my fingers in the air. "Nyx" Cindy whined. "What?" I returned with a slight chuckle, "How am I to help you?" "Talk to Elrond, please" she replied and I clicked my tongue. "That's not how it should be Vamprina," I told her "Don't call me that"
Nyx's POV "He says, it's something you must know" Bel revealed and I made up my mind to go see him. Besides, if there's any person that is in the right position to explain all that I am confused about and at best, provide me with all the support I need. Someone I can comfortably confide in without fear of being exposed, is Narek and since he had requested my presence, it would be best I go right away. "Urm, Cindy. I'm sorry I won't be going with you anymore, something came up and I have to sort things out, myself" I told Cindy whose face fell sadly. "Okay, I hope it's nothing serious" she was still concerned. I shook my head side to side while smiling brightly at her, "it's nothing I can't handle" "I guess I will be going on my own then" she muttered and I looped my arms with hers. "I'm counting on you because I trust you Cindy. Do a good job, don't appear shaky or shy. Just go straight to the point and remember to.." "Respect his decision, I got that Princess" she completed
Nyx's POV Mates? How can that be? "You must be surprised Nyx but it is the fact dear. We are mated, that explains the connection between us" Narek stated and I gulped. "When.. how.. is that even possible?" I asked in pure confusion, staring at Narek weirdly. "It is Nyx, you are my mate" he repeated and I almost burst out laughing at how crazy that sounded to my hearing. "Narek, I am mated to Otis Agni. You witnessed our bonding, how is it possible that it is you I am mated to? What of Otis? What happens to him and our mate bond?" I asked, my eyes searching his face. Narek slowly took my hands and kissed them tenderly, "Trust me, I didn't expect you to immediately embrace this development Nyx, but there's nothing you or I can do. This is fate princess, we don't control it and can't tamper with it as well. It may sound strange to you but you are double-mated and the one who gets to mark you first obtains more of your love. It is also believed that you will live longer with
Miss Pendleton's POV I paced around my suite, my right hand on my waist while I bit into my left fingers, deep in thought. "I have tried to get her to listen, Sylvia, your daughter is not so easy to deal with," I told my sister whose face was on the magnificent mirror in my room. "Well, you are not trying enough Gacia, time is ticking and I'm getting impatient. Don't give me that silly talk about how stubborn Nyx can be, she's just a child, you can easily handle her so why make stupid excuses to justify your sluggishness in one simple duty I put to you" Sylvia snarled angrily I eyed her, "You don't know Nyx anymore Sylvia, she is not the same timid girl you brought down here for me to take care of. She has gone wild Sylvia and makes her decision irrespective of the repercussion" I told her but she scoffed. "She has gone wild or you are starting to grow a soft spot for her? Perhaps, you are afraid of her now, that is why you do not want to get her down here by every means" Sylvi
Nyx's POV I and Narin retired to bed later that day. We had just taken dinner and were currently lying on our separate beds. I was gazing at the ceiling, my head filled with thoughts on whether to tell Narin about my transformation. She has been the definition of a good friend and sister, I consider her special and important in my life so what's the big deal telling her all my darkest secrets? I turned to my side, "Narin", "Nyx" we called simultaneously and chuckled at each other. "You go first" I smiled. She pushed her face towards my bed, "can I come over?" She asked politely and I instantly scooted to create space for her to join me. "Of course" Narin went under my duvet and smiled brightly at me, "Brings memories of my times with Nahendra. We used to make tent houses with our bedcover in the room at night. I remember making ghostly sounds when the lights are out and making him scared out of his wits" she said with a sad chuckle. "Later on, I read stories to him and som
Narek's POV It was lunch break and I had already finished off my last class for the day. I missed having Nyx around and wondered what she might be up to, if she would be less busy, or perhaps, agree to hang out. I walked down the hallway, straining from time to time to catch a glimpse of Nyx among the bustling students to no avail. I was about to give up hope when my eyes suddenly caught sight of her at one corner of the cafeteria, dining with her friends. I recognized one of them as Clyde and clenched my hands jealously. Not wanting to let my anger get the best of me, I stood at one place watching Nyx lovingly as she ate and laughed without worries. "She is an epitome of beauty and brains, isn't she?" I heard someone ask beside me and cleared my throat distractingly. I didn't remember I was ogling at her for so long and smiling at the same time. I raised my eyes to see the person who had spoken to me and instantly bowed politely in respect to the older teacher standing beside
