Nyx's POVThe awaited day finally came and I couldn't be happier. Aunt Gacia had come by earlier that afternoon to drop off the beautiful gown she had purchased for me just for this very occasion.From time to time, Mrs Toddleboar's warning resounded in my ears and I could help but feel terrified of what lay ahead of me. But I had Narek by my side, he always reassured me that all will be well. Otis could as well feel my restlessness and offered me warmth the best way he could.Narin helped me put my hair in place, she grinned at me widely. "You are so beautiful Nyx" she complimented and took out a handmade bracelet she made from cowries and pearl beads."I made it just for you as a congratulatory token into your new phase of life," she said shyly and I felt my eyes water. I slowly took it from her hands and wore it around my wrist, "it's beautiful" I muttered, staring at my wrist in admiration."Thank you so much, Narin, for all you do. I appreciate you dearly" I said appreciatively
Nyx's POV It was both exciting and fun to run around with Otis in our non-human form. Clyde was not kidding when he revealed that I would be so tired by the time I had finished transforming because heck was I so weak and unable to lift a finger after the run. Otis licked my ear and I snuggled into his body feeling slightly better. We returned to the rock to find just Clyde with the box of goodies he told me about. I asked Claire to let me return to my usual self and Clyde immediately took his eyes away since I was naked. He stretched my gown towards, his hands covering his eyes. I chuckled at how cute he was being and slowly took the gown from him and draping it over my body. "So, where is everyone?" I requested, sitting beside him and taking a slice out of the pizza before. Otis returned to his normal state as well and sat beside me. I offered him some snacks which he accepted with a warm smile and bit into his hungrily. I turned to Clyde, "You're not answering" I remind
Narin's POV My heart pounded in my chest as I struggled against the tight restraints that bound me to the cold, metallic chair. The vampire who had barged inside the room and attacked me fiercely was smirking menacingly as she forced a gag around my lips. I thrashed and struggled with the restraints again but she had tied it too tight that I was certain my skin was starting to get ripped. "Now be a good girl Narin and wait in there till your roommate arrives, only then will you be rescued" she cackled evilly while pulling the door open and dragging all the clothes in the wardrobe, out of the hanger like a maniac. She dumped them carelessly on the bed causing some of the clothes to litter around the room. Her eyes met mine and she smirked with a wicked glint in her bright red orbs. "What? You have something to say?" She asked in an almost sweet voice that caused shivers to run down my spine. "Ok, I will let you speak since you are being so respectful," she said with a smirk and
Miss Pendleton's POVI had just pleaded with Sylvia to withdraw the forces she sent to get Nyx on the agreement that I will send her to the pack house in two days' time.Time was ticking and there was nothing I could do to extend Nyx's stay in Salvador or buy her enough time to explore her capabilities.Nyx was brought into this realm for a reason and it was high time she does her responsibility to the clan.I let out a frustrated sigh while sagging into the swivel chair in my office. My lips lifted up in a small smile as scenes of Nyx's transformation replayed in my head."She is so strong and determined" I whispered to myself, swirling the ring on my middle finger mindlessly.The office door flung open and my attention turned to the student who dashed into my office, breathing so fast like she was being chased. I narrowed my eyes at her, my thoughts in a haze. "Did Sylvia's men hurt any of the students by any chance? I thought Narek held them back from getting past the school gat
Nyx's POV I could hear the voices of people discussing in hushed tunes and murmuring sleepily as my mind struggled to regain clarity. Something felt strange about my surroundings, it didn't feel like back in my dorm at Salvador and the voices did not sound anything like Narin's. I stirred in my sleep and tried to stand up only to discover I was bound and so was unable to move. Slowly, I opened my eyes, disoriented and confused that would be the right phrase to describe what I felt as soon as my eyes fell on the ceiling over my head. I was in a strange place, lying on a hard bed in a dark room. My hands and feet were bound to the bed and my head was pounding, my body felt heavy, as if I had been drugged. As I tried to sit up, I felt a sharp pain in my neck, and the events of everything that occurred back there in the room began to unfold. "Liz, what did she do to me? And Narin, is she okay? Where am I even?" I wondered within myself, slightly turning my eyes to my side to obser
Nyx's POV I stared at Sylvia's outstretched hands and turned to the bodies of the vampires littered on the floor with a horrified gaze. I gulped down nothing as I took note of their skin which was starting to burn on its own. Sylvia slowly withdrew her hand and I climbed down from the altar still looking around the room in fear. I ran barefoot towards the corner Liz was standing before she was strangely consumed by whatever spell Mother sent her way and found no trace of her. I marveled at my mom's ability but at the same time, terrified of what more she could do. Perhaps worse than this. "There's no need crying over split milk Nyx, we must hurry. Time is not on our side" I heard her cold, emotionless voice utter and without turning towards me, she made her way out of the coven. I needed not to be reminded to go after her as I hurried out of the cave-like structure of the vampire's coven. Sylvia took three steps more and stopped in her tracks, staring at the empty space. I s
Nyx's POV "I know my way around so you must stick behind me, I wouldn't want you to get lost in the woods on my watch understood?" Mother demanded but my mind was too occupied with lots of thoughts to provide a suitable answer. She noticed my demeanor and sighed heavily, "You should stop worrying about the petty little friends you made in that Academy. They will be of little or no use to you soon" My forehead creased at her words, "What do you know about us Mother?" I could feel anger starting to rise in my tune. "Those petty friends were the ones who stood by me when you practically abandoned me over there in Salvador. They loved me so much and never discriminated against me for being a degenerate. They were patient, understanding, and caring, unlike some cold, selfish, and mysterious beings who claim to be on my side when everything is slowly coming back to normal!" I slammed angrily, my eyes darkening with malice. Sylvia looked taken aback by my sudden outburst but comported
Nyx's POV Sylvia let me go and I tried to run down the mountain only to meet with someone with a mysterious air around him. He wore a black cloak and a cape over his head, hiding his identity from the world. On his hand was a small pot and a sharp knife on the other. I felt goosebumps all over my body as I took three steps backward and tried to go the other way but met with another in a similar dress with an ancient book in hand. I gulped down nothing and tried once again to run in the direction I deemed my last resort to meet with another with similar dressing as well. My heartbeat increased and frightful sweat filled my body. Mother, she is the only one that can save me in this situation. I turned back to Mom but was shocked to my bone marrow to see that she was with them. She was dressed in that black cloak as well, the necklace around her neck shimmering with an unearthly glow. I felt my whole world shattered in bits and my hopes crushed and left to be blown away lik
