The Alpha's Mate, The Vampire's Desire 53
“Of course. If you sat with me, no one will dare touch you.” Zayne said and pulled her along. ‘He really is inviting me to eat with him! Me! Why? Isn’t he the same person that always couldn’t wait for us to go our separate way? How did he suddenly change his mind overnight?’ Layla thought as her mind reeled to the conversation they had because of the previous day. ‘Did what I say really hit him more than I thought? Is this his way of trying to show me that he wasn’t going to be mean to—’ “Layla? Are you in there?” He asked, waving his hand in her face, and she snapped out of her thoughts. “Uh… um… sorry I zoned out.” She mumbled. “Sit.” He gestured to the table, and she sat opposite him as he did. Small gasps rose in the air, and the murmurs grew louder. ‘Ignore them. Ignore them.’ She told herself as she dropped her bag and stared at the crisp, beautiful tablecloth. Two waiters were beside her before she could speak, took their orders, and left as swiftly as they had com

“So what are you going to do about Nyssa?” Layla asked as the waiter dropped a plate of waffles and a cup of hot chocolate before her.“Why do I have to do anything about her?” Zayne replied, digging into his breakfast of avocado toast.“Are you really cutting her off?” She specified, picking her fork and knife and poking at the blueberry toppings.“Why not? She tried to hurt you and doesn’t respect my boundaries.”“That’s kind of harsh.” She whispered. She might not have liked Nyssa, but if she were in her shoes, she would have felt crushed too.“Why?” He blinked, dropping his own fork and knife, and stared at her.“Because it seems like you led her on, only to drop her when you were tired with her. It’s really sad.” She sighed, picking up her cup and taking a little sip of the chocolate. Her stomach and tongue danced to the wonderful rich taste, and she took a larger gulp.“How did I lead her on? I didn’t promise her anything, nor did I hint about getting into a relationship with he

‘They made it worse?!’ Layla frowned, staring at her desk. Just like the previous day and the day before that, she had come to her seat only to meet her desk cover with cuss words written on it. The words ‘monster,' ‘slut,’ and ‘whore’ were the most prominent insults. Before, it was just written with marker and ink, but it seemed someone had gotten the idea to carve it into the wood, making it impossible for her to get it off. Her classmates stifled their laughter behind her, not even bothering to hide that they were the ones. A particular set of eyes glared into her back, sending shivers through her. She didn’t dare look back, already knowing who they belonged to. Nyssa. After the drama that happened between Layla, Zayne, and her two days ago, Layla’s life was slowly spiralling into chaos. Nyssa was out to get her, and her method was playing cruel pranks and using bully tactics on her. The snake in her locker was the cruellest Layla had experienced, and she feared for the w

‘My blood?’ Layla blinked as her heart rate sped up. ‘He wants my blood?! Why mine?! Is it because of me that he was reacting this way to the moon? Does it have something to do with the fact that he’s supposed to be my protector?’“I wasn’t supposed to say that. What’s wrong with me?” Alaric groaned, cringing at his slip-up as he ran his hand through his hair. “Forget what I just said. It was—”“You can take my blood.” She whispered. His entire body turned rigid, just like the air around them. It was like the world around them had frozen in time.“Don’t be silly, Layla.” He scolded; his voice was gruff but strained, like he was restricting himself from doing what he wanted.‘He really wants my blood, but he’s stopping himself.’ She thought, noticing his fingers digging into the side of the desk, denting and cracking the poor wood.“I don’t mind, Alaric. You can— I want you to take my blood.” She said, taking slow steps towards him as she rolled up her sleeves. Alaric didn’t move from

Layla jumped from her seat and was by Zayne’s side almost immediately, holding him from tripping on his feet. “Are you alright? Is anything wrong? Is there anything you need? Anything I can do?” She asked, confused on what to do. Her mind went to the only thing she could think of that was causing his sudden pain, the full moon. “Please take me to a chair.” He whispered, leaning on her a bit. Her legs trembled under the additional weight, but she swallowed back her complaint as she slowly led him. She set him on the nearest chair, and he relaxed against it. “Are you alright?” She asked again, watching him rub his temple. “Are you sick? Do you need medications or something? I could rush to the sick bay.” “I’m fine. It’s just the feeling—the effect of the full moon.” He grumbled and ran his fingers through it. She was right. It was the moon. It was affecting not just Alaric but him too. “I can’t believe I’m reacting this way to the moon. It’s so embarrassing.” Zayne h

*Knock Knock*“I’m coming.” Layla replied, throwing on her school bag as she walked to the door and opened it.“Good— Sylvan?” She blinked, staring at the man who stood at her door instead of Zayne.“Good morning,” Sylvan said and gave her a small, gentle smile.“Good morning. Um… what are you doing here? Where is Zayne?” She asked, trying not to sound rude as her eyes peered around for the werewolf. It was the first time someone other than Alaric, Zayne, and unfortunately, Nyssa, had come to her dorm, and it was kind of strange.“Werewolves and vampires usually have a free day because of the moon, so the headmaster told me to take you to class.” He replied, kicking the invisible stone at his feet.“Ok,” she nodded, stepping out of her cabin and locking the door.‘Why didn’t they send Alaric instead? I hope he’s still not as down as yesterday.’ She thought as she and Sylvan walked together in silence. She glanced at him from the corner of her eyes, watching to see if he would show any

‘Sylvan said it! He actually said it!’ Layla’s breath hitched as she gaped at him. ‘That means he’s a…’“You’re a—”“Shh! We’ll talk later at the end of class.” Sylvan said, nudging his head to the other students. “Let’s focus on class first.”‘Oh, that’s right. I can’t say anything here. I could get us in trouble.’ She pressed her lips together and nodded.Her mouth itched, wanting to blurt out all the questions she had for him, and it took her all of her willpower to keep them shut.‘Sylvan is an elite student but also a spy for the rebel. How? HOW?!’~“Ok, now spill.” Layla blurted as she slammed her room door shut and stared at Sylvan. Classes were finally over for the day, and she was ready to explode with questions.“I wish they had given me a dorm like this. Cut off from the rest of the world and surrounded by nature. It’s perfect.” Sylvan wished, ogling at the interior of her room and wearing a soft smile.“Come on, Sylvan. No stalling. Tell me the truth.” She complained as s

“You’re Eleanor’s protector?” Layla gasped, gawking at Sylvan. His eyes widened as if he realised what he had said, and his entire face turned bright red.“T-that’s not how I wanted to tell you, but… yes. I’m her protector.” He stuttered, avoiding her gaze, and her lips curled to a small smile.“Are you guys in a relationship by any chance? The book said that the Sun and Moon children can enter a romantic relationship with any of their protectors, so…” She drawled, wriggling her brows.Sylvan’s bashful smile dropped into a sad one, and his shoulders dropped. It was like a dark cloud had formed over his head and had rained down on his happy parade.“Sylvan…” Layla whispered, blinking at his sudden change in mood.“I never stood a chance against Pyro.” He sighed, rubbing his hand over his eyes. “I’m sorry,” she said softly, placing her hand on his shoulder. She knew heartbreak when she saw it, and Sylvan was the definition of heartbroken.“Thank you. I don’t blame Eleanor though; she m
