Nyx's POVI was walking briskly to the dormitory, feeling slightly enthusiastic about whatever revelation relating to the mysterious being Narek had in stock for me.I couldn't wait for the evening to come already so that I could hear about Narek's research. "Well, isn't that Nyx Uren," someone said from behind a tree, causing me to stop and stare on in curiosity."Who are you?" I returned fearlessly, my eyes fixed on the direction the sound was coming from."The clown princess" I saw the owner of the voice come out from behind the tree.I recognized him immediately, one of Otis's goonies, what does he want from me anyways?I looked around to be sure he was alone, and it was not a planned attack or something.Satisfied that there was no one else, I sent him a glare."Stop referring to me as that punk face, you already know my name, why act like a dickhead" I stood up to him at once."Oooh, being feisty now, are we?" He cooed in mockery and began walking towards me."Is the Uren princ
Narin's POV"Miss Pendleton asks that you meet her in her office" the funny-looking troll announced and my eyes bulged out of its sockets.Miss Pendleton? Why is she suddenly requesting my present? Did I do something wrong?Perhaps it may be because I disobeyed her orders and used my magic even after she warned me not to do so.Did she see me transforming the pillow? Or she heard about it from someone else?But who would have told on me? I made sure to be careful not to give myself out before I performed the magic and I am sure Nyx would not be so stupid to rat me out as well, so how on earth did that woman find out?The troll's face lit up in a mocking smug smile, "What is the problem Narin? Not finding it funny anymore?" She mocked, giving that I laughed at first when I opened the door to meet with her silly face and funny-looking hair."Shut up!" I snapped at her and slammed the door on her face. I could hear her annoying cackle from behind the door and felt like clawing at her stu
Narin's POVThe walk to Miss Pendleton's office felt like forever, but soon enough, I could finally see the glistening door of the principal's office and felt my heart thud with panic."Miss Pendleton" the tag at the top of the door read, filling my body with cold chills. I rubbed my sweaty palms on my clothes, then took a deep breath before knocking politely on the huge door."Come in" came the principal's bubbly voice from inside. I slowly pushed the door open and entered the room fully to see that Miss Pendleton's back was against me. She was standing and staring out of the window while pulling her necklace slightly. She seemed deep in thought but I could tell that she was already aware of my presence. "Miss Pendleton, you.." I started to say"Yes Narin, I sent for you" she completed my sentence and turned to face me with a smile that I suddenly found creepy."Sit" she gestured towards the seat in front of her table while walking to sit in her position.I pulled the chair close
Nyx's POVI paced up and down our room worriedly, my right hand on my waist as I bit the nails on my other hand mindlessly.I was so bothered and wanted to know what was going on in Aunt Gacia's office.Just then, our room door opened and Narin walked in with an unsmiling face. She walked straight to her corner without sparing me a glance or even acknowledging my presence."What happened Narin? I was so worried about you. Did Miss Pendleton do anything silly?" I asked curiously, walking towards her but she raised her hand to stop me from getting close to her."Stay away from me she-wolf" she spat with bloodshot eyes.Narin looked so mad like she had a fight on her way back to the dormitory."What is the problem Narin? What happened back there?" I requestedSilence..."Come on Narin, you know you can always talk to me about anything. I care about you and don't want to see you hurt" I said genuinely.Narin scoffed at my words, throwing me off guard."You care about me? You were worried
Nyx's POVI marched straight to Aunt Gacia's office, almost breaking the door into two as I barged into the room.I needed no one tell me that I was acting strange but I was only acting out of my instincts."Geez Nyx, what do you think you are doing here?" She exclaimed when I walked in."What did you tell Narin about me? What did you ask her to do?" I ignored her question and lashed out on her.Aunt Garcia smiled mischievously and relaxed on her seat, "I see she is not just a flimsy witch, she is also a big mouth" she commented."What else would I tell her, if not to stay away from you because you actually need to focus on the task before you" she shrugged nonchalantly but I got riled up the more by just watching her act like she did not care about her actions."Take it back" I simply said and she she stared at me in confusion."Excuse me?""I said. Take. It. Back. Miss Pendleton" I gritted, the words coming off threatening.Aunt Garcia clapped mockingly while standing on her seat."
Nyx's POVI felt like someone dumped a huge bucket of ice-cold water on me and my eyes instantly shot open.I could hear some group of guys guffawing beside me and trying to clean my eyes only to see that I was bound to a seat, what the heck?"Wake up, sleepy brains, don't you think you have had more than enough rest?" I heard one of the geeks ask and wanted to glare at him only to wince as soon as the water came in contact with my orbs.They burst out laughing again, "so dumb a princess" one of them muttered with a snicker."Careful there, Clown princess, the liquid on your face has not been used on someone else before, you are the first, and so there is no measure to how acidic or neutral it is yet" I recognized his voice, he was the same person that hit me when I left aunt Garcia's office."What the heck?? Where am I anyways?" I screamed and tried to wriggle myself out of the chair with my eyes tightly shut, but it felt like I was glued down to it."What is wrong with you fools? U
Chapter 55Nyx's POVI felt my heart wrench with hatred as soon as Otis entered. I wanted to badly spit on his face and cuss at him so bad but I bit my inner cheeks to keep shut.He got to where I was bound and shifted my hair out of my face, with his index finger, her raised my face so that I will stare him right in the eyes.If only I could gnaw at him in that position then his stupid face must be bleeding by now."Hello Old friend, I hope you are having much fun because I am" he smirked, his eyes gleaming in mockery.I spat on his face in anger, at least I could do that."I hate you Otis Agni" I snapped while struggling with the binds again.Otis wiped his face as his features darkened. I wasn't scared though, he could do whatever he wants, not like I cared or something."Where are your sweethearts now?" He muttered, folding his hands over his chest. His biceps contracted and relaxed with that action.I did not answer him because I do not know what rubbish he was blabbing. He seeme
Narek's POVI was taken aback when I felt Nyx's hands wrapped around me in a hug as she cried her eyes out.She looked so vulnerable and weak, I couldn't help but felt a pang of pity for her. Nyx is passing through a lot whether knowingly or unknowingly and the students here are not helping matters.I hear how they curse at her and make a mockery of her. I know about their hatred and jealousy for me the beautiful princess of the Uren pack, I could read their minds and know what they are up to. My arms found their way around Nyx's petite body, and it was soon enveloped in a hug. I began to run my hand through her scalp while whispering consoling words to her ear.I placed a tender kiss on top of her head, and soon her wails melted to hiccups. She began to relax, and after a while, I pulled out of the hug.Her head was bent low in embarrassment, "I'm sorry, sir, I.." "What happened?" I stopped her from apologizing, besides I promised I will always be there for her and I am meaning to
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
