After a thousand hisses and a dragging pace, I got to the class, which was quite empty as others had gone out for a break. My eyes roamed around and fell on Jace, who was sitting calmly at his desk, looking at the space without moving. I clearly notice the wet eyes and clenched jaw with his heavy breath that tell me how bad he feels.
He looked pained and enraged at the same time, but all that never altered with his cuteness, which seemed to be clearer and more overwhelming in my eyes at that moment.I sighted a bandage on the side of his head, leaving me gasping and gritting my teeth, feeling suddenly pained and angry that he had the wound.I scurried to where he sat, even before realizing how weird it was."Who dared to injure you?" I threw the question at him suddenly, which really made him flinch a bit, before looking up at me, his face showing clearly how surprised he was."Bella, are you asking me that?" He asked, his countenance drI couldn't understand what I was hearing and would never have believed it if I hadn't heard it myself. It is so shocking to hear this, and I wish it weren't true. How would the Vampire Prince enter the werewolf boundary, and not only that, but he was going to start schooling here under another identity, which I don't need a soothsayer to tell me, he has a deadly plan.My parents always told me horrific stories about vampires. All the evil they had done to the werewolves in the past and how each of them killed the other without hesitation. It was so clear that deep-rooted hatred created a like between us and the vampires. Hearing him force Jace to get him enrolled here really made me shake in fear. Now I know what killed all these students here in the school garden. The vampire prince had done this. "What are you doing here?" That was the next thing I heard before cringing so badly that my legs lost their balance and I found myself falling heavily on the
"I promise never to hurt Lola. You hated me because of that, so I swear at this moment that I will treat her well and help her in anyway I can. But please don't treat me badly. I am sorry for how I treated her in the past. I was so foolish. At least we can be friends." I purred, drawing his gaze back to me."Really?" I heard another voice from behind and turned sharply to see Lola staring at me in tears. Her clothes were splattered with particles of food and dirt, which reminded me of what I had done back in the cafeteria.For some reason, it suddenly made my eyes wet, and for the first time ever, I felt deep sadness accompanied by guilt. I regretted all I did."Yes, I am so sorry.. " I said to her, and there was a sign of relief that crossed her eyes. A lot of pain could be noticed from her eyes as she let out a short smile."What are you saying?" One of my crew cut in, shocked at what I just spit, especially when they all knew how much I wanted
Lola's POVIt was very early morning the next day. Still dawn, and as usual, the alarm blared in my head, cutting my sleep, which seemed to be for a few minutes. It was like I had just gone to bed and the next minute it was morning. Every part of me wanted to sleep back in the bed for a few more hours, but I had no choice. The world is against me here in this pack.I sat up and sniffed my tears, recalling that it was another day to go to school. Yesterday was a day I wished I never had. I won't wish such a day, even for an enemy. Each time I was made to sit on the ground, each time the students laughed and jeered at me, especially those I thought were my friends. It always strikes me so painfully.All my courage and strength are gone, and I can't raise my head while walking because it seems like the entire world is against me. The shame and heartbreak are enough to make me kill myself, especially when I can do nothing to save myself from the humiliation.
Sophia's POV.I walked into my father's packhouse this morning and saw him sitting on a stool gazing straight at my mother's phone hung on the wall. The photo was the most beautiful and clear, displayed how gorgeous my mother was. Her glistening blue eyes and perfect jawline with heart-shaped lips were so inviting to kiss.I was standing behind my father and could hear his muffled cry, filled with bitterness and anguish. My eyes went up to my mother's face, and I felt that pang in my heart, which triggered tears from my eyes, but I sniffed it all back. I wasn't going to cry again. It is so painful that my beautiful mother was a victim of rape and brutal murder by the alpha who should have protected his pack members. "Do you know why I called you here?" My father's rough voice broke through, followed by his muffled sob as he bowed his face into his palm."Tell me." I sighed, feeling so pitiful and sad at my father's state. He must have b
Lola's POVA full bucket of water splashed all over my body, jerking me from the sleep that had drifted me away from reality. My eyes fluttered wide as I used my palm to rub off the water on my face so I could clearly see who did it."What the hell are you doing on the floor? Sleeping? " Torian's voice rang in my head, and I quickly stood up in fear, but my brain was hazed at that moment. I could see him all dressed up for school, and that really put me in more confusion about how I ended up sleeping on the floor instead of getting prepared for school too."Are you keeping quiet about my question? You haven't even set the food on the dining table and here you are dozing peacefully?" His brows were all raised as he snorted and sneered at me like trash."I am sorry..." I mumbled and swallowed the lump in my throat while shivering a bit from the chills i was feeling due to the water that had drenched me up."I think you are tired of living.
Lola's POVHot tears warmed up in my eyes again and threatened to fall, but I sniffed and pushed them back while dishing out the food. My eyes glanced around and I hissed in more sadness on seeing the three guards who always stay in the kitchen to watch me cook and dish out food. He was positioned there to make sure I never poisoned the food. He would keep staring straight at me with nothing but suspicion.I had never thought of poisoning anyone since my stay in the royal pack house, but just now, it crossed my mind and I felt the greatest desire and urge to find one and spray in the Alpha's food so he would eat and die.The burden in my heart won't stop making my eyes wet. Every second, my heart would be reminded that my beloved parents were already gone forever and their killer was out there fully alive.I hate myself for being weak. Even the strange beast in me seemed to be asleep too, as it was never going to show itself. Not even when my parents were being tortured. Why didn't i
Jace's POVIt was late in the morning the next day before I was able to gather the courage to go to school. It has been hours since I was done dressing up. But the fear in me wasn't letting me step out of my room. All I felt inside me was anxiety and dread.It wasn't this way yesterday when I met him, as I never had the reason to fear this much since Bella had made me realize it wasn't too bad having the vampire prince enrolled in the school as it would give us the upper hand in setting him up to his death.Why then did my heart pound so much this morning on realizing that he would be waiting for me out there along the road? Even though it was a cool morning and all my windows were open, there was still sweat on my forehead and palms. It seemed to me like I was about to do something so terrible, something that would take many lives and endanger lives.As I thought of the possibility of ambushing the vampire prince after getting him enrolled, I also shuddered at what he would be planni
Sophia's POVMy mind had been away in thought as everything seemed to be so confusing. To make it worse, Lola had refused to say anything to me, and my pride wouldn't let me beg her to spit it out.I needed to know why the Alpha killed her parents so I would be sure of what I read through her mind. Yes, I had used my dark powers to read her mind only to hear her mumble about a certain room, which was the cause of her parents' death. And it just seemed like she remembered I was able to read her mind and had refused to divulge more information both in her heart and voice.She hates me so much and I also do the same to her, but I badly wish she would tell me if all I heard was true and also tell me if she knows anything about the room."Why did the Alpha kill your parent if he truly did it as you claimed?" I asked her for the umpteenth time, but was still faced with silence from her. She had been so sober and morose that not even hitting her could solve it as her mind seemed to be wander
"I know you regretted saving me when your pack Alpha and Torian tortured you for it. I am sorry," he mumbled meekly, placing his palms on my cheek and caressing it with his thumbs."I did, but now I am grateful to God for that action. See where it got us to? You are now my king!!" I squeaked abruptly as adrenaline rushed through me."Yes! I am so happy that I chose your room to run in! You are now my queen!!!" He squeaked too, and just as if we both had it in mind, our heads drew forward and both lips connected in a deep kiss. Our eyes closed as we devoured each other's lips like our lives depended on it.At that moment, I felt like I was floating on the moon with no one other than Blake. The way he suckled and licked my lips was just so sweet and sexy that I felt myself getting wet.His hands were roaming from my neck down to my butt, and each squeeze on my butt sent electric shocks that made me lose control of my brain. I was getting so turned on.But in the middle of everything, an
Lola's POVI opened my eyes and felt the sun rays radiate into the room and right into my face, forcing me to shut my eyes and spin to the other side of the bed before opening it again.I don't know what time it was and how I ended up on the bed. With squinted eyes, I racked my brain, trying hard to remember how I ended up on the bed, but nothing was registering inside my head. All I could remember was that moment when they all knelt and bowed to me, pleading that I should rule over them.Had I passed out?Taking a deep breath, I sat up from the bed and my eyes scanned all around the room and recognized it to be Blake's room. His scent was all that kept oozing from every corner of the room, including the bed. That sweet sandalwood and fresh earth after rainfall would easily make you drool over him.My eyes lowered to my body and I flinched at seeing what I was clad in. The royal robe which is being worn by the vampire queen. This was the type of gold robe I had seen Blake's mother wea
"Time to see the love of your life for the last time before death. You won't believe she doesn't care if you die or live, even after all you have done for her; how you risked your life and everything just to keep her safe. Don't you think she is being so selfish?" The Demon king mumbled into Blake's ears while untying the knots.My heart was racing so fast as I tried not to hide my happiness, which was boiling inside me. I knew Blake was also aware that we had gotten the last chance to set things right. Deep in his chest, there must be the same race going on in his heart. Once we get to look into each other's eyes, we will be able to share powers. For real, I can't take out the deadly serpent inside him. That is because my powers aren't enough, but the moment I transfer all the inner energy and magic to him through eye contact, He would be able to force it out himself.I peered at the black cloth covering his mouth and saw his lips had curled into a smile, making me feel so elated th
"You allowed yourself to get controlled by a petty charm because you are a fool who only wants to fuck all beautiful girls. I don't give a fuck about you any more, but you have no right to stop me from killing the man who killed my parents! " Lola yelled in his face and slammed him on the table behind."Go to hell!" Darren bellowed from he stood, and just as Lola turned to him, he sharply pierced a sword into her belly, burying all the blade in with a shout of victory which ended abruptly when he saw Lola smile instead of wincing or crying out in pain.Everywhere became dead silent as everyone watched with wide eyes, seeing her bleed. I was frozen in fear, wondering what would really happen next.Just then, Lola burst into mocking laughter, which shook everyone. "You are a fool to think this can kill a hybrid like me, not even the wolfsbane and silver mixture rubbed on this sword can get me killed. I am here to save the wolf world from the demons, but you only want me dead to bury yo
Sophia's POVJust when his blow was about to hit hard in her face, Lola swerved to the right, forcing Alpha Darren to lose balance and fall to the ground, as no one ever expected her to be able to dodge it when his blow was already so close to her face.The speed at which she dodged the punch was so extreme that it seemed like a flash. No one had ever seen anyone with such speed and swiftness, and seeing Lola do that really made them all cringe and shout in shock.My father was the most terrified one, because he knew what it all meant. He knew that it was all over for the demons who planned to get her killed. Lola has escaped the claw of death with a slight slip. His eyes darted at me, and I heard his voice inside my heart. "Don't tell me her powers have been unlocked? How possible? Did anyone tell her about it?" His tone was really tense and kept cracking. Our eyes were locked on each other, and I could notice a trace of suspicion in his eyes directed at me." You don't seem afrai
Sophia's POVThere was no trace of a smile on her face; neither did those eyes have any glimmer of warmth. It was filled with rage as she looked around, and when those eyes fell on me, I felt my blood run cold as my legs lost the strength to carry my body, making me fall to my knees. "Please don't kill me. I am so sorry for all I have done. I swear. Please don't kill me... " I was crying and shaking in fear while pleading with the girl in front of me.A girl who had once been my slave and someone I could hit anytime and anywhere. Someone who doesn't have the right to say or do anything instead of following my orders and those of Torian.As I was on my knees begging for my life, the past came rushing in, starting from that day she barged into Torian's house to see he was having his birthday celebration without telling her. I could recall how pained she was, especially when she caught me kissing Torian.She was a weak, nerdy girl then and can never be compared with the beast in front o
Lola's POVI had woken up with a bad omen. It was so strong that my heart began to thump so fast and loud. After sleeping late last night, I overslept on the bed, and waking up now, I realized it was almost afternoon. My eyes opened and I saw I was the only one on the bed. I sat up from the bed, recalling what had just happened last night. I couldn't help the smile that slipped across my lips. It was my first sex, and for real, Blake marked me.The joy we had after dealing with Vienna made us kiss so deeply and passionately that it really ended with sex. Yes, we succeeded in making Vienna keep the secret alongside her pretending deaf friend, which was great news as I was now safe inside this kingdom.Blake was so careful and gentle with me. The way he suckled my nipples and licked down my belly button was really enticing. The moment his tongue got to my pussy, I felt so many sensations, so pleasurable that my lips broke apart from moaning.It was so sweet that I felt my pussy drippi
Torian's POV My heart seemed like it was being shredded into tiny pieces as hot tears flooded down my cheeks while I watched the scene playing in front of me.I was gasping for breath, hoping silently that this would be some kind of hallucination which would later clear off, but my mother's cry of pain kept hitting my ears and making it clear that it wasn't any sort of illusion. It was happening for real. My beloved mother was being raped in front of me."Dad, look at what he is doing to your mate, my mother!" I shrieked in agonizing pain, but not even my powerful father could do anything at that moment. It seemed like he was pinned to the throne. Not even his body could move. I tried all I could do to get off the ground and stop the beta from going on, but I have literally lost all strength in me. My bones seemed like they were crushed. All my muscles were so fatigued and worn out.I had to shut my eyes as it was traumatic to watch your mother being raped without being able to do a
"You are really wise enough to take my advice. If you had said any other words, you would be a dead man now" I shrugged, plopping on the bed as I looked away from his face to avoid those eyes, which seemed to have love charm in them."I saw the fury in my father's eyes. There was no trace of love or compassion as he looked at me. It was like I was prey to be devoured. He doesn't love or care about me anymore. " Torian breathed in a very sad tone, sniffing as he leaned his head against the wall."That's why you should stay away from him and don't try to stop whatever he is doing or try to disobey him." I replied with a deep sigh as I know how tough this will be. Torian will sit back and watch his father do a lot of evil. Alpha Darren will do things that have never been heard of in the history of the wolf kingdom. It will bring more casualties because they will try to stop him without knowing he has immeasurable powers now."When did my father turn like this? I was in a coma for just a
