Nyx's POV The next day Classes were finally over and I walked down to the dormitory with Narin, Bonnie, and Cindy. "But come to think of it girls, Elrond doesn't look so bad for an elf. As a matter of fact, I think he is really handsome" Bonnie chirped. "I agree with Bonnie" Narin mumbled and Cindy sighed. "I know guys Elrond sure is a very handsome creature but I can't take the risk" Cindy whined. "What risk?" I asked in confusion. "Are you serious right now Nyx? Elrond is an elf and I am a Vamp, do you understand my reasons now?" Cindy asked and I shook my head from side to side, my brows still creased in confusion. "Goodness, I can't take the risk of giving birth to a hybrid" Cindy rasped with spread hands. "And who is talking about giving birth?" Narin muttered. "Isn't that what relationship is all about, procreation?" Cindy was now the confused one. We all burst out laughing, "Goodness you are so naive Cindy, that's not what I meant" Narin chortled loudly. "Not a bad
Nyx's POVI got to the temple just when Narek had finished making the circular rune."Hey there" he smiled and stood upright."Good evening Narek" I bowed respectfully, slowly fiddling with my fingers."I see someone is quite nervous about today" he commented with a slight chuckle and approached me."You don't have to panic Nyx, I'm here for you. Remember your training and if the need arises for you to strike, do it and come back safe" he cupped my cheek in his hand, and I relaxed in it, my eyes glossy."Thank you so much Narek, for everything. What would I have done without you?" I smiled."Nothing, I'm the best thing that has ever happened to you, I know" he returned with a cocky grin.I took my face away from him and clicked my tongue. The alarm in the temple blared and Narek took a deep breath."It's time" he gestured towards the circular rune on the floor.I nodded and slowly walked into it before proceeding to kneel."I'll be here waiting for you" Narek uttered and moved away fr
Nyx's POV"Come with me" Bel beckoned and began walking towards another lonely pathway in the garden. I followed behind closely, anticipation running in my veins. After walking for sometime, Bel stopped suddenly and pointed towards an entrance."Right there, your wolf must be inside" she muttered and my eyes lightened up.I walked ahead and turned back to her to see she wasn't coming with me. "Aren't you going to come too?" I requested with a squinted orbs.She let out a small smile and shook her head negatively, "I'm not in good terms with your wolf. I locked her up remember? I am not the best person she should see after many years" "That's right, she might tear you in shreds the moment she sees you" I teased with a chortle."Let's hope she is still alive" she returned instead and my face paled. "Now I'm curious to know what really happened between the both of you. Did you hurt her before locking her up?" I asked curiously."We had a fight Nyx, but it has been a long time now" she
Narek's POV "I'm proud of you" I smiled at Nyx proudly, looking straight into her beautiful eyes. Nyx was smiling brightly, her face and eyes glowing with happiness, I felt captivated while staring at her and found it hard to look away. The smile on her face slowly faded and was replaced with that of want. I gulped down nothing as my eyes fell on her plump, pink lips. I tried to get a grip of myself and look away from her inviting lips but it kept drawing me close. "Snap out of it Narek, that's your student right there. You shouldn't be having these crazy thoughts about her. Just close your eyes or better still, walk away from her" the warlock in me reminded me but my demon was saying otherwise. "She is such a temptress, an appetizing beauty. I want a taste" I could feel my demon run his tongue over his lips hungrily. I closed my eyes tightly and looked away from Nyx's face, even though it was so hard. Suddenly, I felt my demon take over me and my eyes turned red the moment
Nyx's POV I walked out of the ancient temple reluctantly, many thoughts swirling around my head. That act that I portrayed back there was certainly not me, I can't stoop so low and beg to be touched. That is so unladylike, so not expected of a princess. I definitely crossed the line this time, Narek is my tutor, and Aunt Gacia made that clear to me, I shouldn't have any other relationship with him apart from the trainer and trainee one. I shook my head in disappointment while clutching onto the jacket he gave me. I was overwhelmed with embarrassment and disbelief regarding my actions. I increased my pace so as to stay away from the troubles of the night on my way back to the dormitory. The route was already dark, it is definitely past curfew and I am in big trouble if I'm caught. "What came over me tonight?" I wondered out loud, rubbing my face in frustration. My mind was still replaying everything that happened between me and Narek. "Nyx.." I heard a feminine voice call my nam
Otis's POV "Yoo Otis, have you noticed Benson lately?" Marc tugged at me as I packed my books into my backpack for school. "That dude has not been himself, he keeps staring at nothing in particular and smiling to himself like a creep" Greg added grabbing a cup of water from the dispenser. "Perhaps he is bewitched" Marc voiced out his thoughts "Or maybe in Love," Dylan and I said at the same time and guffawed while staring at each other. "He has only one name on his lips and that fancy necklace, he has been smiling at it for what seems like forever" Marc complained and we all turned to him. "He has been saying her name?" Greg dropped his glass of water and came rushing to Marc's side. Dylan jumped over the couch and was soon standing beside Greg, "what is her name? "The name is Narin" Marc replied and my eyes widened. "You mean Nyx's roommate, Narin Oregon. The witch?" I asked to be sure. "I don't think there would be any other Narin, Benson would pick interest in" Marc shrug
Nyx's POVI dashed into the nearest restroom, banging the door shut behind me. I was panting loudly and my face was pale like I had seen a ghost."What is the problem Nyx? Why did you run off like that?" Claire requested in concern."Yea, what's up with you Nyx? Aren't you happy about the new development?" Bel added.I paced around the restroom with one hand on my waist and the other under my chin, deep in thoughts."This is crazy, there is no way that is possible" I said in my mind, walking around in circles."You mean getting a mate?" Claire asked and I nodded vehemently."Exactly and worst still, it is the same person whom I rejected few months ago" "Maybe, the moon goddess decided to give you both a second chance to work on your relationship" Bel shrugged."I understand that part but why Otis? Why must it be him out of all wolves?" I cried out in despair."Because you were both meant for each other from the start. Besides, Otis does not look so bad, I don't understand why you are
Nyx's POV"Goodness, Gracious! What the heck are you doing here?" I yelled at the intruder, rubbing my head soothingly.Otis's face fell and he suddenly felt remorseful, "I'm sorry, I shouldn't have startled you" he apologized sincerely.I didn't respond but kept rubbing my head. He scooted closer to me and joined in massaging my head causing me to suddenly freeze and take my hands away from my head.My breath hitched and I was suddenly lost for words, our eyes locked and I could see the glint of happiness in his orbs.Claire, my wolf was prancing around in my head. I could feel her all giddy and excited about being close to Otis.I kept staring into his eyes as he kept rubbing my hair. Suddenly I felt another presence encroach the space in my head. Claire grew quiet all of a sudden and I could hear her heart thudding with nervousness and enthusiasm. I was confused about what was going on but at the same time, I couldn't control the situation.Bel as well felt a sense of relief as Ot
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
