Murmurs were heard all over the room. I even notice Neville secretly pinching Grave in the arm. Looking at her blushing as she stared at Laurent.

Well, Laurent surely is attractive. That's also the reason why I got easily swayed by him on that mysterious grand ball.

You can't blame me, blame his face.

"Harper, you should focus on what he's saying, not on his face." Killian whispered making me go back to my senses. Since we were required to seat with our partners, my CEO obviously is my seatmate as of now.

"I was listening attentively. Maybe you're just imagining things," I glared at him, but then I got intimidated again. "Sir."

Tsk, of all the people in the room why should I be partnered with my CEO?! What if I got annoyed? Then I cannot strangle him with my chains easily thinking he might deduct my salary!

"We'll be having the Excipere Tournament next week."

The announcement made everyone thrilled. They started chatting with each other while I was left dumbfounded, unsure of wh

    "A man?" For unknown reasons my chest started to pound heavily, the soft wind felt too cold against my skin. For a moment the atmosphere felt too thin it was hard for me to breathe. As if an impending danger was right in the corner. "Harper," My body instinctively went into a fighting stance, my power suddenly in a surge, But the tension I was feeling died down when I saw who it was. "Killian." I sighed, my shoulders slumping down at ease. "I found his mother." "John!" A woman in her mid-40s went dashing towards the little boy, hugging him while tears started to well in her eyes. There were a few gray streaks on her hair, some wrinkles starting to form on her forehead. "I told you to stick with me, you naughty boy!" She cried, carrying her child in his arms. "It was you who went missing mother! I kept following you but you suddenly went gone!" John was about to cry again but he tried to hold back his tears. "Oh, my poor child! It won't happen again, all right? Mother won't

    "Are you kidding?!" I know by now my face is as red as a tomato. I can't help but blurt out nervous laughter when I saw Killian staring intently at me. "What, you don't want to do it? How can we build mutual trust if we can't even be used to getting intimate with each other?" "I mean, what does that have to do with fighting enemies?! It's absurd!" But he suddenly cupped my face, my whole body tensing up as we sat on the grass. My instincts kicked in and I leaned back, my arms holding at the grass but he pulled me close by the waist and my chest started thumping wildly. I'm afraid he might be able to hear it. He tilted his head and stared at my lips. I gulped, slowly closing my eyes as my heartbeat went into a frenzy. I could hear his heavy breathing, his addictive scent, and the tip of his nose brushing against mine. "I'm kidding. Look at you closing your eyes." My eyes flung open and I saw him already far away, throwing daggers at me. He crossed his arms, throwing me a skeptical

    Killian was panting heavily when we finally stopped. "We're here. You can drop your things." I roamed my eyes where he brought me. Tall trees surrounded us, but the best part was, orbs were lighting around us in different colors, floating, making a soft whirring sound as they slowly hover around. This is a mystic forest indeed. It was magical. Killian started parting the huge leaves and there I saw a cave finally showing itself. At the far corner on a steep slope, there is a hidden cave we could stay for the night. "How did you know of this place?" I said, amazed. Killian grinned and took the backpack I placed on the ground. "Connections." He went inside the cave and I followed. Both of us started gearing ourselves to gather some wood to make a fire. Wait, fire. "Killian, if we make fire, won't that tell the enemies where we are? That's basically suicide!" I am really grateful I have watched Hunger Games or I would've been butchered now. "Then we make some sort of spell to hi

    Snap out if it, Harper! With a scream, I forced myself to move, letting my chains attack the man behind me. With every bit of strength, I tried hard to catch him. My hands kept trembling as fear eat my system, swallowing me whole as my heart keep beating wildly. I knew I can't defeat him. He's too strong. I'm too weak! What should I do?! What move should I make?! He kept dodging my attacks without any difficulty. It felt like he was only on a child's play, his hands were on his pockets as he moved swiftly from place to place. "For the seventh time, I'm going to repeat myself," He stared at me lazily but still got a nerve to wink. "Will you marry me, baby?" Why does this Laurent clone keep proposing?! What's his deal?! "Ugh!" I can't help but shout in annoyance as I failed over and over to catch him. But then a desperate gasp came out from my mouth as one of my chains was able to reach him. I was already soaked in sweat, shivering in fear but I swallowed hard and breathe heavil

    "Kid," The sound of chains echoed throughout the vast blue cell. No. It wasn't a cell. It was the deep ocean. I found myself in the middle of the ocean, a man standing in front of me as a gentle smile came out from his lips. His appearance was that of a young man, but his presence tells me he lived for hundreds of years. He went closer, his cerulean hair swaying softly with the water. The man patted me softly in the head, his caress making tears flow endlessly in my eyes. I do not know why I feel so much pain inside, but seeing him and feeling his touch, I felt like he wasn't a stranger. "You've done well," He mumbled, his complexion as pale as the white pearls of the sea. "I hope you will be happy, truly." We started dirfting away with each other. I do not know but I want to talk with him more. I want to stay longer.

    "Why do you have to be so careless?" Laurent complained for the nth time. He kept reprimanding me but I'm too tired to listen. Using my hands, I covered both of my ears."Seriously?" Laurent scoff, his arm in his waist as he glared at me. I'm currently stuck in the infirmary and as you can see, getting a handful from mother Laurent. He was already done wrapping my left arm with bandages.Good thing the bell rang a while ago or a war could've broken out right here. Laurent and Killian looks really ready to punch each other. It was a relief they have to go back at classes.Besides, I feel something weird when Killian was here."I'm not going to heal you. Let's do it with alcohol." "What?!" I totally screamed from the top of my lungs. Laurent told me that guardians can heal Chambers.Mother of cow, I hate alcohol!I clasped my hands together and pleaded desperately. "Please no! I will do whatever you say but please no alcohol!"This guy! If he's the one injured I will scare him with alc

    I woke up, smelling something pleasing that made my stomach growl. "Eat." As soon as my eyes flung open, Laurent shoved a bowl of meal on my face, his blonde hair back in that neat and tidy style. He was wearing his usual black suit and was already out of bed. My eyes shifted at the window, the thin curtains swaying softly with the wind. The sun is already setting. I bet classes just ended. "Will you eat or will you eat?" Laurent already had his eyebrows raised while glaring at me. Mother of cow, his motherly attitude is on mode again. "Thanks," I took the bowl, rubbing my eyes to shake the drowsiness off. Laurent took the chair and sat beside my bed, his eyebrow raised, and arms crossed, grinning at me. I see, the scribbles I drew on his face are now gone. "You put something on my face, don't you?" I asked, eating my meal with narrowed eyes. You know, this guy won't just sit back and not take revenge. He's very childish for a guardian! "You started it," he shrugged. "Anyway, s

    Third Person's Pov Truth is, Killian still have classes but decided to skip them. But he wasn't the only one good at skipping classes. Levy Howl was walking alone in the hall, whistling as her hands are inside her pockets. She decided to sleep in the infirmary and skip classes but then two silhouettes appeared, walking towards her direction. Her body instinctively hide on a wall, covering her mouth which almost cursed out of surprise. "What do you want to eat?" "Why? Will you treat me?" "Do you have money?" "I want pizza!" 'Is that Harp?' Levy thought as she recognize her friend's voice. The curiosity was killing her, so she quietly took a peek without making a sound. Her eyes went wide as she saw a bizarre event happening within the empty hallway. She couldn't see clearly, but she can see wide and clear Killian Lake cupping Harper's face. Levy immediately covered her mouth again, this time tighter. What was that?! She couldn't believe her eyes. As far as Levy remembers, s

    "No, not like that!" I heaved a sigh for the nth time, staring with a deathly glare towards Kieve. For the 13th time, failed. "Harper my hand is hurting. Can we do this next time?" He was looking at me like he was in great pain I almost believe him. Wow, look at the puppy eyes he is making. I would never have thought I would see him acting like this. "No, you can't fool me. You have to master this today." "Why should I? We can just get some delivery foods. It is faster and less hassl-" He shut his mouth tight when I slowly turned my head at him with an intent glare. Plus, I was holding a knife in my hand. "Yes, ma'am. I would definitely master this today."

    Her mother’s voice roared so loud inside the house it made her flinch in terror. She was not the type to yell for she value basic ettiquetes for women so much. It was the first time in fifteen years Harper heard her mother raising her voice that high. She was enraged, literally.“I have been putting up with your bottles and jars with insects for a long time but did I threw them away?! Did I interrupt with your sessions at the forest to dig some insects even when I want to?! I did not do those things Harper and gave you freedom but this is what you repay to me?! Did I raise you to hurt others?! Do you plan on killing them?! What, do you now aspire to be a murderer?! Harper, I had enough troubles and you just had to add fuel to the fire!” Her mother burst in anger.Harper is used to her mother’s words and usual complaints. But not this one. Not this time. She saw how pain glimmered through her mother’s weary and tired eyes.

    -Maia and Nikolai in Another Time Frame-"How long has it been again since they started dating?" Hunter asked and now I could finally confirmed he is jealous."Wait let me see," I mumbled and put out the small notebook where I tally the number. "They have been together for 15 days and 2 hours.""Why are you keeping tabs like that?" He asked but I only shrugged.The truth is, since Zea gave me that weird letter and started acting strange, I started taking down notes of her strange actions. Well who knows if she is suffering from some disease. “I transferred to another block.” She answered, and when no one dared to ask her another question she continued walking down the hallway.It took some minutes before her three blockmates processed what she said.“Wait, does that mean she transferred to another block? Like literal transferred and left us?”“Is she joking?”They weren’t so sure at first, but when all their classes had finished and she wasn’t there, they realized Maia wasn’t kidding

    -Killian and Harper in Another Time Frame-"Go back at the team right now." Nikolai wasn't simply suggesting. It was a command. He glared sharply at Maia who doesn't seem to be fazed by his angry demeanor."Why would I go back? There's a lot more opportunity with Blanca's team. The spectrum is wide with them. Obviously, they are the better choice.""You can't fool me, Evans."Nikolai knows Maia was only doing this to help the team. She's going to sacrifice herself in order to delay Blanca's project and screw it up. But the damage it could give her might ruin her days at the university. It's too risky to try."You heard me," Nikolai repeated, his words were hard and domineering. "Go back at the team. Right now."But Maia is not the type to submit. She's not someone who can easily ordered by others. Even if it's Nikolai Auxen. It's funny how this stuborness is the only similarity he and Maia had in common.She inched closer, tiptoed and whispered to his ear. "You can't order me around.

    -Killian and Harper in Another Time Frame-As soon as I had finished my exams I hastily packed my things, passed the paper in front amd stormed off the room without looking back."Ms. Williams! Why in such a hurry?" I heard the professor inside but I was not in the right track of mind to even respond. I need to go get my hands on that newspaper to find out everything, or even the littlest thing about father.My mother is not a talkative and open person. She would rather keep all secrets on her own than share it with us. She never talked about father. And I am anxious to trigger any negative emotions so I never asked her about our father. But in truth, every single day I want answers. As to why he died, what he looks like, and what are his ideals in life. I want to know him.

    -Killian and Harper in Another Time Frame-At the farthest side of the library, two girls have their eyes set on books, the only noise that could be heard was the crunching sound everytime they flipped pages. It was Harper whose eyes were burning with rage and passion while Paisley sat across her, reading lazily and flipping the pages in a nonchalant manner, not even reading a word or two. It was obvious the latter was only forced to review with her roommate. "No way I will let Wolfgang beat me in the exam. I am not someone she could surpassed in academic standing. I am smart and independent and..." Harper halted, couldn't think of any words anymore. "And...""Just zip your mouth and review. Complimenting yourself with useless words won't let you pass the exams." Paisley glared at her.Harper immediately obeyed and shifted her gaze back at the open book. "Yes, ma'am."

    -Killian and Harper in Another Time Frame-"Miss Evans," He inched his face closer, his gaze trying to find even the slightest hint of weakness in her eyes. "I didn't know you cared for me that much."But Maia would not give him what he wants. She's not the type to back down, although her chest was already pounding crazy from the tension and with all those people around.A grin formed on his lips, inching closer and closer, until he whispers on her ear."Let's see if you can handle me."***The following day was a disaster."Did you all see Nikolai from Block A? Goodness, he really did obeyed her!""I told you already, he's with that girl! It was so obvious when he went to confront her!"Rumors started ciculating in the university. The relationship between the top scorer and the representative of the whole course became a hot topic.And of course, only one person was so troubled with it.Maia had her hands roughly pulling her hair, hanging her head low as she sat on a bench.

    -Killian and Harper in Another Time Frame-"I'm sorry, but you are rejected. We do not accept highly dangerous individuals like you.""We?" Harper turned her head but there's only her and Killian in the dusty room. "Are there others who joined this club?""Yes and no. Yes, it's 'we', referring to myself and Neville," He looked up and Harper followed his line of vision, only to see a jet black cat sleeping soundly at the top of an old cabinet. "And no, there are no other members. I prefer to work in solitude.""You can't continue alone or the club will crumble and what did you say? I'm highly dangerous?" Harper chuckled and could not believe his words. She put her arms and leaned on the table, glaring at the man in front of him. "Yes, I am a bit insane but not dangerous. Madness is the right term but it's not the bad type of madness, what I have is genius madness!" She declared, her head held high as she extends her arms sideward like some glorious hero.But the guy only stared at her

    -Killian and Harper in Another Time Frame-Where have he gone? What does the words meant and why is there blood? Whose blood was it? Was it from the guy he was following? Or someone else's?These thoughts were circling on Harper's mind when she heard the door creaking open, cutting her thoughts off."You're back." Harper greeted Paisley who did not bother looking st her as usual.But this morning is quite different. Instead of ignoring Harper like what she alwayd does, Paisley was the first one to speak."That friend of yours with eyeglasses," Paisley sat on her chair, her back the only thing visible to Harper. She could not see what is Paisley's facial expression but perhaps, it is the usual poker face she has. However, it still make Harper happy that she tried to get along with he finally.But Harper's smile faded away with her next words."He dropped out."
