“What are you standing at the door for? Come closer.” Demeter said, using her hand to signal her further.‘I can do this. I can do this.’ Layla told herself as she shut the door behind and walked to the centre of the room. She didn’t dare sit when Alaric did but stood before the others.“Did you really think we wouldn’t find out you were trying to manipulate and seduce Alpha Zayne?” High Lord Boris hissed, glaring at her.‘Seduce? Manipulate? How? When?’ Layla’s eyes widened. ‘Who in this world told them I was seducing and manipulating Zayne? Is that what people saw when they saw our budding friendship?’“We underestimated your wanton nature. To think you’d be able to use the mate bond to your advantage and snag his attention in such a short time. You’re worse than I thought.” He clicked his tongue, and his lips curled into a large smile. “But fortunately for him, we have found a way to correct that little flaw.”Boris turned to Zayne and threw his arm around his shoulder, like he was

Every sliver of hope Layla had crashed to the ground and disappeared like dust the moment those simple words left Zayne’s mouth. A hallow feeling rose in her chest, like something had died, leaving a gap that could never be filled.‘He agreed. He agreed to break the mate bond. So he really believes that everything was just an illusion to him? Everything?’ She thought, bowing her head to hide the tears that rushed to her eyes. The parliamentarians, Zayne, Brenton, and Alaric, discussed among themselves, but she couldn’t pick a single word of what they were saying. She was frozen in time, her brain replaying the very moment Zayne chose to betray her.‘First, Alaric and now Zayne. Am I just cursed that every guy who I think I have a connection throws me like thrash? All the promises and the words they said to me were lies. All lies.’ She squeezed her eyes shut as the tears fought to make their way out. ‘I’m such a fool to believe they would choose their duties to the parliamentarians o

Layla’s scream shook the entire room, and she convulsed on the table, trying to break free of her binds. It was like surges upon surges of electricity rode through every fibre of her being and she was set ablaze at the same time. And they kept intensifying with each second that passed. ‘Make it stop! Make it stop!’ Tears streamed down her face as she battled against the binds holding her down. Then she froze.A hand made of the same specks of light that tormented her formed in the air.‘No! No! No!’ She frantically shook her head as it reached closer and opened its palm over her chest.A beautiful, white thread rose from the spot, one end was attached to her and the other was attached to Zayne.‘Please no.’ She wept, shaking her head as the hand reached out to the thread. Its fingers touched it, and her mouth hung open, letting out a voiceless scream. All the pain she felt couldn’t be compared to that very moment. Her eyes rolled back, and she arched her back.Darkness slipped into h

‘Zayne.’ Layla thought as she slowly sat up. ‘Zayne is here. Zayne tried to break the mate bond… mate bond.’ “No! No! No!” She whispered, shuffling back on the bed and pressing her back against the wall. Her wide eyes poured out tears as she violently trembled The dull aching in her chest intensified to a blinding amount, and she let out a bloodcurling scream. “Layla!” Alaric and Zayne gasped as she curled into a ball, clutching at the part of her dress over her chest. “It’s ok. It’s okay.” Alaric whispered, bringing her to himself. His cool touch and voice melted away the pain and anxiety, and she slumped against him. She snuggled closer to him, and her sobs filled the air. “L-layla.” Zayne muttered. His voice was shaky and weak, tugging at her heartstrings, and she flinched. ‘Why? Why is he doing this to me? Just leave me alone.’ She cried. “Can’t you see how much pain and suffering you’ve caused her?” Alaric snarled as he stroked her back. “I’m—” “Get out, Zayne! I

“T-two days!” Layla gasped, snapping her head to Alaric. “I was a-asleep for… two days! How?”“Because the experiment took a toll on you. It’s quite surprising you’re awake. The parliamentarians expected you to be in a coma for at least four days to a week.” He said, running his fingers through his black hair and disheveling it more. “Are you sure you’re alright though?”“I’m still f-feeling very w-weak and tired, and my chest still… aches and feels… hollow… empty.” She muttered, pressing her hand to her chest and tapping her fingers against it. A small pain buzzed in it, not enough to make her scream in agony but enough to make her feel uncomfortable. And there was a hollow, sinking feeling. Like something had been taken away from her leavng a gaping hole.“Phantom pain. The parliamentarians said you would feel that for a few days. It mimics how you would feel when the mate bond is broken but more toned down.” He replied, and her shoulders dropped.“Oh,” she breathed, balling her fi

“What do you mean by that?” Alaric asked as he dropped the plate on the side table.“I mean exactly what I said. Why are you helping me?” Layla asked again firmly, folding her hands on her lap. “I know I told you to stay, but you could have decided not to be here in the first place. You are an elite professor after all, and I’m sure babysitting a student is beneath you.”“Well, the parliamentarians insisted I did because they weren’t sure how your powers would be stable despite the choker because of the experiment.” He shrugged.“Oh, so I’m just a chore for you. A burden that you have to look after because you were told to.” She spat, and his eyes widened.“I never said—”“Since that’s all I am, please leave.” She lifted her shaky hands and pointed at the door. “As you can see now, my powers are perfectly trapped in just like you guys wanted. You can tell the parliamentarians that I won’t cause any trouble so they can send anyone in your place. Just leave.”“What are you saying?!” He

Layla kissed him, and everything went quiet. The protest in her head, the aching and hollowness in her chest, her doubt and anger. Sweet peace rested on her, and for the first time since she woke up from her coma, she was relaxed.“W-why did we just do that? Why did I do that? Why didn’t you push me away?” She breathed as Alaric lifted his head. The question seemed stupid to her since she was the one that pressed his lips to hers, but she had wanted it. What was wrong with her?“Because I wanted it. It was quite bold and surprising that you took the first move. A pleasant surprise.” Alaric chuckled, pushing a strand of hair out of her face.“Why?” Why had he wanted it? Why had he wanted her?“Isn’t it obvious?” “Isn’t what obvious?” She blinked. He was speaking parables she didn’t understand. Was that his way of saying he was sorry for what he said? But he also said he wanted her?“Here? What do you feel?” Alaric asked, taking her hand and pressing it against his chest. His heart t

‘Fight in an arena in front of everyone? Fight what?’ Layla blinked, staring at High Lady Demeter and reeling over her words. ‘Why in the world did she suddenly come up with that idea?’ “If I may ask, Lady Demeter, why did the parliamentarians decide that Ms. Dele should fight? It seems so sudden. I thought she wouldn’t have to prove herself until the end of the academic year.” Alaric asked, turning Demeter’s attention to him.‘Exactly, it’s so sudden. They told me I would have to prove myself at the end of the year. The end! It’s just the middle of the first semester! I’m supposed to have one and a half more to prepare myself.’ Layla complained, pressing her finger to her temple. ‘I’m just recovering from that terrible experience, and I’m yet to completely master my powers, and they want me to fight!’“We had to. Somehow, the rebels discovered that Nox-Luminis is housing the Child of Darkness and spread the news to the public, causing an rancor. Those damned nosy pests.” She hissed,

“I never thought you were such a prankster.” Zayne chuckled after a few silent seconds and pinched her nose. “You’re not mad?” Layla asked, turning her eyes back to him. “Why would I be mad? As long as I know you aren’t going to that damn place, I’m fine. And that was a really good one. You really got me.” He grinned, poking her cheek. “Whatever you do, make sure you don’t teach my sisters how to play pranks, or else you five will kill me.” “Really? Then I’m a certified prankster.” She giggled, pressing her hand to her lips. “It’s good to be back. I’ve missed you.” “Of course you did. I’m fun to be around, and I’m a very great company.” He boasted, puffing his chest. “Proud as always.” She scoffed, rolling her eyes and eyeing him from top to bottom. “You look good. I never thought I would see the day you would dress formal.” He was clad in a custom-made black suit that fitted his figure perfectly, and his hair was slicked back. It was like he walked out of the cover of a to

‘Maybe I shouldn’t have come here. What if someone recognises me?’ Layla worried as she walked into the beautiful ballroom, and her gaze flitted around, taking note of the guests. The place was littered with mostly werewolves and a good amount of phoenixes, vampires, and faes royals that had decided to grace the pre-coronation party. Some couples danced to the beautiful melodies of the instrumentals while others stood by the side, having light-hearted conversation. The air was light and merry, but it still couldn’t beat the uneasy wiggling in her stomach. ‘If someone recognises me, they would definitely make a scene. It’s not everyone that supports the overthrow of the former parliamentarians, and I’m sure some are here. Imagine the confusion it will cause if one of them decides to confront me. I want to see Zayne, but I don’t want to in that kind of dramatic way. It would be better if I just left now. I can see him—’ Two vampire gentlemen walked past her, and she stiffened. The

‘This is it. Alaric is right at the other side of that door.’ Layla thought, standing in front of the large door she had appeared before that led to Alaric’s officee. She reached out to the knob, but her hand trembled, refusing to touch it.‘Ugh, why am I so nervous? It’s Alaric I’m going to see, not a monster? How hard is it to tell him I love him?’ She bit her bottom lip, pushing the thin hand of her nightdress back on her shoulders. A picture of her confessing her love to Alaric flashed through her mind, sending blood to her cheeks. She pressed her hands to her face, squeezing her eyes shut.‘I can do this. I can do this. I love you is just three simple words. Three simple words that change everything,’ she prepped herself as she placed her hand on the knob and she opened the door. She poked her head into the room, and her lips curled into a soft smile as her gaze fell on the figure slouched in his chair.‘Aww, he’s sleeping. It seems like Pyro and Eleanor were just over worried,’

"Ahh, no wonder we went with the heater. I thought they underestimated how cold it was." Layla shivered, wrapping her arms around herself the moment she stepped out of the portal. The world was a barren iceland covered with thick layers of snow. Large mountains were scattered all over, so high that they seemed to reach the grey sky and trees that were covered in snow towered above her covered the entire landscape. Apart from those, there was nothing but eerie silence, shadows, and anguish. Anguish, fear, pain, and rage hung heavy in the air like mist, and her heart clenched. And it was cold. Very, very cold. When she had gone with the elite class, there was always a special heating device with them, stopping them from turning to popsicles. But she had no special device, and her bodysuit might have been good for battle, but it did nothing to warm her up. "Here," Selene pressed a finger against her forehead, and warmth flooded through her. "Thank you," she sighed, dropping her a

“What? You’re leaving?!” Zayne gasped, gaping at Layla like she was sprouting leaves on her head instead of hair. “Why are you leaving? Where are you going to? To the human world? You can’t be thinking of going there? What about the life you have here? Are you going to give up all that?” Alaric fired questions, furrowing his brows. “What?! No! Why will I go to the human world? I have nothing there,” Layla replied, crinkling her face. “Then where are you going? Like on a vacation on something?” Zayne asked. “Not that either. I… I need to finish my mission.” She turned around, nudging to Selene, and the goddess waved at them. “I need to go to Tophet. I need to save the creatures there.” “Are you crazy? You can’t go to Tophet alone! It’s too dangerous!” Zayne exclaimed, shaking his head. “It’s something I have to do. Those creatures have been in that state for too long. I can’t allow them to continue living in anguish when I can help them. And don’t worry about me. I can take

“Alaric! Zayne!” Layla yelled, running to them as they ran to her.She threw her arms across their shoulders and pulled them into a hug.“You’re alright! I’m glad you guys are alright. I was scared when Draven brought out the eye of chaos and everyone fainted. I was afraid you guys weren’t going to wake up. I could feel our bond, and it was so weak. I was terrified.” She sniffled, snuggling into them as they held her closer.“I don’t know about him, but something that weak isn’t enough to kill me.” Zayne grinned, patting her head as she let go of them.“Weren’t you the first one to hit the ground? You were out like a candle in the wind before the light actually hit your skin and you were the last to stand up when it was over.” Alaric scoffed and rolled his eyes.“W-what? That’s… that’s not completely true.” The werewolf stuttered, narrowing his eyes at him as his face turned pink. “I was the first and last between the two of us. Just the two of us. Everyone else is still unconscious o

“That doesn’t mean anything. Boris was always the weakest among us.” Blaze scoffed, and Demeter nodded her head more than she was supposed to.“Sure, whatever you say to keep your hope high.” Layla snorted, throwing the head over her shoulder. “Round two. Make sure you make it count. It will be a disgrace if you don’t land a single blow on me before you die.”Blaze fired multiple balls of fire at her while Demeter sent blades of sharp petals. Layla lifted her hand, creating a barrier, and all their attacks disappeared the moment they touched it.She lifted her hand, forging a large shard of ice and launching it at Blaze in the blink of an eye. He screamed as it pierced through his heart, coming out at the other side. She rushed at him before he could melt the ice, and she cut off his head.“Two down, one more to go. You’re the last man standing, Demeter.” Layla taunted as his body fell to the ground and turned to ashes.Demeter’s face was paler than snow as she gaped at Layla. Her ent

‘Did… did it work?’ Layla thought, wincing as she sat up. She opened her eyes, and her lips curled to a large smile.The red light was going dimmer and dimmer, and the red clouds began to dispense, making way for the evening sky. The dorm around the arena flickered off and on for a few seconds and faded away.“It worked! It actually worked!” She cheered as she stood up and Eleanor flew to her side. “Layla! Can you see that? We did it! We did it!” She squealed, throwing her arms around her and pulling her into a tight hug.“How is everyone? Are they— what’s that?” Layla scrunched her brows as small balls of white and yellow light flew from the sky to them.“What’s what?” Eleanor asked, letting go of her and turning around.The balls of light swirled and danced around, and Layla reached out her finger to touch one of them. A recognition burned in her soul, and she wore a gentle smile.“They’re our sisters. They’re finally free, and they’re thanking us,” she whispered.“You’re welcome.

“This isn’t the time for useless jokes or gatekeeping the ttruth, Demeter.” Layla scowled, narrowing her eyes at her as she tightened her grip on her shoulder. “If you don’t tell me how to stop it, everyone will die, including you, and I’m sure you wouldn’t want that.”“You can’t stop it. No matter what you do, you can’t stop it.” Demeter grinned, shaking her head. “The eye of chaos can only be deactivated by the one who activated it.”“What?!” Layla gasped as shivers ran through her spine. “No! It can’t be. You’re lying. There has to be another way.”‘She has to be lying. The eye of chaos has to have another way to be turned off without Draven.’“There’s no other way! Everyone here is going to die. Then it will keep spreading out, draining every supernatural in its way until it has taken every bit of power in the supernatural world. Everyone will die.” She cackled, throwing her head back, and her entire body shook. “Every single one of them will pay with their lives for turning the
