“Uh? Why do you ask?” Layla asked, tilting her head to the side.“I’m just curious, given the way he behaves to you.” Alaric said, looking away from Zayne to her. “You think it doesn’t exist between us because he’s mean to me?” She asked as they continued walking.“He’s mean to you?” He frowned, anger flashing in his eyes.“Not bully mean, but mean as in he’s always grumpy and looks like I’m wasting his time. He doesn’t bully me but just acts like he would rather eat coals than be around me.” She quickly explained, not wanting to fan whatever flame of anger she had accidentally stoked. There already seemed to be bad blood between the two men—at least coming from Zayne’s side—and she didn’t want to fuel it.“No, I know it does. I’m just wondering what you think about it. Do you feel it?” He asked, relaxing a bit.“Well, I don’t really know much about the whole mate bond thing, but I do feel it… Even though I try ignoring it, I can’t help but feel strange when Zayne’s around.” Layla mu

“What?” Layla whispered; her eyes grew wide and her legs trembled as strength left her body.“I said, did you sleep with him?” Zayne questioned, emphasising his words.‘Is he accusing me, ME, of sleeping with Alaric? Because he bought clothes for me?’ Her chest grew tight and turned heavy, like someone had dropped an anvil inside.“You’re so disgusting! Is that what you see me as? A slut?” She yelled, blinking back her anger tears.“N-no… I didn’t mean…” He stuttered; his eyes widened, realising what he just said. “T-that’s not… what I meant. I-I didn’t m-mean you’re a slut. I… just asked—”“If I slept with him? Isn’t that the same thing?! Let go of me!” She screamed, pulling her arm, and he did. She stumbled back, leaning against the car so she wouldn’t crumble on her knees.“Layla, I—”“Just shut up! Ever since I came to this school, you’ve always been mean to me, and I don’t care what you think about me, but you’ve crossed the line. How could you say that? Alaric has been the only

*Knock knock*“Layla, I know you’re ignoring me, so I left food at your door. I hope you at least accept that, even though you don’t want to see me.” Zayne called out, and Layla frowned, turning down the volume of her music.‘Did I hear him well? He left food at my door?’ She sat up but didn’t come down from her bed. She stared at the door, listening to his footsteps become quiet.‘I think the coast is clear now.’ She jumped down the bed after a few minutes and tiptoed to it.She slowly opened it, still weary that Zayne was around, and she looked at the doorstep. True to his words, there was a small bag in front of her.‘This better not be a prank.’ She picked it up, shut the door, and stared at the bag in her hand. A thermos food jar, two plastic bottles of water, and apples sat in, and she twisted her lips. ‘But the last time it wasn’t so…’Switching on the light, Layla padded to her bed and placed the food in front of her. The rich, mouthwatering aroma of pasta and meatballs blaste

“What? Slaughtered? As in killed?” Layla gasped, covering her mouth with her hands. The rebels? As in the rebels, which Eleanor was staying with and supporting, or was there a different rebel group everyone was talking about?“Duh, isn’t that what I said? Yes, killed.” Nyssa scoffed, rolling her eyes. “They slaughtered everyone without mercy. See!”“No, thank you.” Layla shielded her face with her hand, blocking her vision from the gory sight Nyssa wanted her to see. She had only gotten a glimpse of what was on her screen, and her dinner rushed to the back of her throat.“I swear those rebels are animals. Worse than the Zenzens. I wish they could all just drop dead right now. Low life scum!” Nyssa hissed and put her phone into her pocket as she walked beside Zayne. “Can you imagine what they did? They gutted the males and females but kidnapped the children. Who knows what they’re going to use them to do? I heard rumours that they were going to use them as ransom or train them to be s

“I can do this. It’s finally time I read what Eleanor had to say.” Layla muttered to herself as she sat on her bed, resting her back against the wall. She stared at the book in her hand, torn between the excitement and apprehension racing through her.‘Maybe I should leave it till another— no! No more procrastination. It’s Saturday; I’ve got all the time in the world to read without distraction until Zayne comes take me for lunch.’ She flipped open the book to the first chapter, and her brows creased.“S-shelgx lehak me ti… tiei mreo ca- ca- c-cagyri nie burt?” She stuttered out the strange sentence written at the top of the page, and she frowned.‘Where have I heard something like this before? I know I’m not pronouncing the words well, but I feel like I’ve heard it somewhere.’ She mused, racking her brain. No matter how hard she thought, nothing came out, and she sighed. ‘I’ll figure that out another time. Right now I need to focus on reading.’Her gaze fell on the title of the first

°…The Moon Child shares a connection with vampires and werewolves. This is so because vampires and werewolves have special connections with the moon and moon goddess Selene, which the Moon Child embodies. Thus, the Moon Child always has a vampire and a werewolf protector.°°In the same vein, the Sun Child is connected to the creatures associated with the sun, which are faes and phoenixes. The Sun Child embodies the sun and the sun god, Sol, which the faes and phoenixes have special connections with. °°Chosen protectors are granted enormous power and strength to protect the Sun and Moon Child with their lives. They share a very special connection with them. This is akin to the mate bond in werewolves, but far stronger. They are bound to serve them as guardians and companions till the end of their mission. Once it is completed, the Sun and Moon Child can choose to loose the bonds between them and their protectors or take them as spouses.°°Love between—°‘Ok, I think I’ve read enough.’

“Kneel and apologize. Now!” Zayne barked, and they dropped on their knees.“What’s happening? Please get up—” Layla gasped, jumping to her feet to help them.“No!” He scowled, startling her, and she turned to him.“What’s going on, Zayne? Why are you treating them like this? Just because they’re working here doesn’t mean you should treat them like slaves.” She insisted. What was wrong with him? Why was he suddenly mad at random people and punishing them in front of her? Was it to show her that he could do whatever he wanted?“Trust me, Layla, I’m being really nice. They deserve to be locked up for their stupidity.” He snarled at them, and they flinched. Their eyes were red and glassy, ready to let down buckets of tears.“What did they do that could be so bad?” Layla frowned. ‘Did they steal something from the school? If they did, why was he punishing them? Shouldn’t he have taken them to Headmaster Brenton? Why did he bring them to me?’“They’re the mastermind behind the rubbish you’

“No, I’m not doing anymore. I want to die!” Layla groaned, stumbling to the shade of a nearby tree where they had kept their things. She sprawled on the grassy ground, and her chest heaved as she tried to catch her breath.Once she had taken her last bite of breakfast, Zayne had taken her to a secluded, grassy field to train. She had mentally prepared herself for whatever he had planned to throw at her, but nothing could have prepared her for the torture he had installed.‘Why did I agree to train with him? He’s worse than Prof. Victor.’ She thought, using her hand to fan herself. ‘At least we weren’t training under the hot sun. I’m under a shade, but it feels like my skin is cooking.’“Come on, you still have three more laps. Don’t be lazy.” Zayne hollered, jogging towards her, and she glared at him. More like she tried to glare at him. His body was distracting—too distracting. Even with his sleeveless tank top on, it drew her attention. The shirt clung to his body, accentuating his
