Nyx's POV

"I need to go see Mr. Carne" I rapped and pulled my flip-flops from under the bed.

"That will be after you meet with Miss Pendleton, she insisted you see her first the moment you wake up.

Also, have you looked in the mirror since you woke up?" Narin asked with a scrunched nose.

"Why? Is there anything on my face?" I returned, rubbing my face to get whatever it was away.

"You look a mess, roommate, the bathroom is free. Go fix yourself up before you step foot out of here" she snapped and walked to her bed to lie down.

I stood up entirely from my bed and walked to the bathroom as she stated.

Narin was not joking, after all, I could not even recognize myself as I stared at the mirror in front of me.

My eyes looked so dull and my face was still pallid, not to talk of my lips which were chapped and had lost their healthy colour, I looked totally different, in a bad way, though.

My hands traced my face to feel how sunken my cheeks were, I looked starved and malnourished.

    Nyx's POV"Surprise, surprise. Long time no see Nyx Uren" Liz smiled and I narrowed my eyes at her."Have you been stalking me?" I asked with arched brows, staring at her in suspicion."Maybe" she shrugged. "You've been scarce lately, I was starting to wonder what was off with you" she replied with a smug smile on her face.I folded my hands over my chest and gave her a lopsided stare,"You shouldn't worry about me Liz, we are not friends," I told her off and tried to walk away but she appeared in front of me with her vamp speed."Well I am not trying to be friends with you, Uren princess" She smirked and walked closer to whisper in my ear."You know one thing Nyx, We can never be friends" she muttered and inhaled my scent from the crook of my neck. I watched in horror as her fangs came out on display and her eyes turned bright red like she was going to drain my blood in seconds.But she only licked her lips with a dangerous smile dancing on her lips, "I don't need to listen for you

He offered in concern but I only shook my head. "I only want answers to all the questions in my head" I replied and he nodded.My eyes wandered away from his face to stare around the room."What in the heavens happened here Narek!" I exclaimed in horror staring at a corner of the temple that looked like someone broke out of it after a fight.There were claw marks on the floor and the wall, the mirror was in pieces on the floor and the chairs were turned upside down, some broken and some in parts."Your sweetheart" Narek answered my questions and I gapped at him."Otis?""Oh, you know him so well, even his name is stuck to the tip of your tongue" Narek replied with a tint of jealousy in his tune."No Nare

    Nyx's POV"What have you done Nyx?" Narek almost yelled at me, I just stared at him dumbly, my forehead furrowed at his outburst."Nyx, do you know the weight of your actions? Are you aware of how much this act of yours will affect your life?""No.." my lips were shaking now and I was visibly scared, what could I have done so wrong?"Goodness" Narek slammed his notepad on the table beside me causing me to startle with fright."I'm so.. sorry" I stuttered staring at his back as he paced about the room, deep in thoughts.He came towards me with his hands on his waist with a serious gaze on me, "You rejected your inner being" he uttered and I shook my head."Yes you did. You did reject Beau or whatever her name is","That pain you felt in your chest, that is the pain of rejection, the pain that she left you because you did not want her" "But how is that possible? she is still inside me right?" "Yes but it is going to be hard to get her to help you in future. She is going to become dist

    Otis's POVI winced in pain while dabbing my swollen head with a bag of ice packs. I keep underestimating that stupid warlock of a teacher. How is it possible that I could not raise a single mark on his body while mine is covered with sores and bruises? There must be something more to him that he is not letting everyone see and I will get to the root of this.He might not even be a warlock like everyone presumed but whatever it is that he is, I will make sure I come out victorious and show him his place in this Academy."Argg, fuck this, it's so painful" I groaned in pain as I placed the icepack on my blue eyes.The door to the room opened and Greg walked in alongside Dylan who was complaining in disdain about what I have no idea might be the problem."Who is that tiny wench by the way? How could she spill something as distasteful as this on my priceless shirt" Dylan growled."Seeing that she walks around with pig's blood, I'm suspecting she is a vamp. I could smell her sunscreen as

A humour-filled masculine voice said beside me but I didn't bother to look at his face."I don't see how that is your concern, but if you must know, then I'm going through the topic for today" I replied flatly."Woah, Why sounding so aggressive" he chuckled, "tell me, what is the topic today all about?" He sounded interested in knowing more."History of Sorcery, activities and Extinction. If you don't mind mister, go take a look at all you need to know about this topic from your tablet" I told him off and finally took my face off my tablet to stare at the young man who is

Don't tell me you haven't read that part in Salvador Academy's book of conduct. I thought you were a bookworm" he returned and I glared at him."Well duh, you thought wrong about me. Quick give me an answer""Did you throw your book of conduct out through the window?" Clyde asked with a goofy smirk"I'm not just into rules, rule books and all that. It's still in my shelf though, I will go through it later" I replied and he shrugged."Then find the answer to your question when next you remember to go through the conduct book" he smirked."Clyde.." I growled warningly, earning a loud cackle from him."Just kidding princess. There is nothing much about failing in Salvador I guess. Only that you have to remain in school while the others leave for holidays.One must complete every course outline and pass well before he or she can be promoted to the next class

Let me have the meal from last time again""Coming right up" she sang, twirling her hands in the air, "I haven't seen you for days princess, I hope all is well" she raised a conversation as she piled my plate with food."Of course, everything is good. I just didn't come to the cafeteria to eat meals because I had a project I needed to focus on. Besides, my roommate always got me food and so I did not starve" I lied smoothly without blinking an eye."Here you go" Mrs Zaffron said and pushed the tray of meal towards me, "Enjoy" she beamed and I returned her smile before making a beeline to where Narin sat with the rebels."Hey, what took you so long?"

She repeated with a scoff, "How wrong, Nyx? Explain it to me, I promise I will understand. Penelope told me that you are in a romantic relationship with the teacher, I didn't believe her at first, I thought she was wrong until I found the both of you hugging passionately, right after class.She also mentioned that you leave the dormitory every night to meet with the young teacher. I doubted this at first, but after witnessing what occurred between the both of you today, doubting it would only be foolish of me," Narin

    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

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

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

"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
