Kira's POV
As the lecturer taught, I kept my eyes transfixed on Austin. He listened with keenness without any idea that I was gawking at him. I couldn't peel my eyes off him. We weren't mates anymore, but I still felt that connection. No matter how long the distance between us was, I still felt very close to him.
"Hey" Christine nudged me from the side and I turned to look at her.
"You are really into this boy"
"No, I'm not" I scowled, shrugging as I looked at the lecturer.
"Of course" she rolled her eyes. "Now I know why you wanted to take advanced classes so much"
"Cut it out Christine" I frowned at her. I could deceive her, but I couldn't deceive myself.
"There's no point hiding. If you seriously like him, why don't you just go talk to him?"
I shuddered at the thought of that. Days ago, I would have gladly done that, but now, I couldn't because I was scared of him. The way he looked at me with his cold eyes always had a way of sending a cold shiver down my spine. It wasn't right for me to be scared of him, but I couldn't help it. Katrina wasn't here to keep my emotions in check, so it was basically all over the place.
"I know I said he can be difficult, but you are pretty. He will most definitely fall for you. If you are clever enough to know what he wants of course"
What she didn't know was I had tried, but he got angry at me and told me to fuck off. To be honest, I didn't realize Austin was that rude in my past life. I only focused on how he treated me and not how he treated other girls that tried to hit on him.
"Look, the lecturer is leaving, you can try your luck now"
The lecturer was indeed leaving and so were the students. Beads of sweat began to gather on my forehead. He was still seated in his seat, stuffing his laptop into his bag while I just sat on mine, not sure of what to do.
"Come on" Christine nudged me, bringing me back to my senses.
"I'm on it," I said, standing up from my seat. At that point, the class was almost empty.
Christine waved me goodbyes as she walked away. I knew if I walked up to him and told him hi, he might tell me to fuck off again, so I thought of another idea instead. I rushed outside to wait for him with a can of coke I had found in my bag.
The plan was to spill the drink on him, not to make him mad, but for him to notice me.
He was on the phone with someone as he walked out. I steadied myself with the opened can of coke, ready to attack, but my stupid instincts failed to remind me that my mate was a werewolf who had a fast reflex.
I had barely even lifted my hand to pour the drink on him when he caught it and in a split second my hair and clothes were drenched in sweet juice.
He looked at me like he had seen a ghost, while I, on the other hand, regretted not thinking of the plan well enough.
I was expecting him to shake his head and leave me, probably even call me a freak, but he did the most surprising thing.
He leaned closer, grabbed my hand, and started dragging me with him.
"Hey, where are you taking me to!" I knew if he did what he did earlier when he took me to a secluded place, I might melt in his cold eyes.
"Who stands by the door with an opened can of coke?" He asked, still dragging me.
"Uhm me" I yelled at him. "And who walks through a door with his eyes on the floor"
He didn't give me a reply, still dragging me, until we got to the toilet. I hesitated, trying to free my hands from his grip, but he didn't let me move an inch.
"Get yourself clean" he pointed at the tap while I stared at him in disbelief. He hated me so much for him to care about getting me clean. The look on his face didn't hold remorse, so it was certain he didn't feel sorry for what he did. What was he up to?
"Well," he snapped, already impatient.
I shrugged and dipped my head into the tap. He even helped me turn on the tap. He stood there as if he was waiting for something to happen. When I raised my head to look at him there was astonishment in his eyes.
"Who are you?" he asked with furrowed confused eyebrows.
I wanted to say my name, but I realized he meant more than that
"What do you mean?"
Austin's POV
I could feel her presence from where I was. I watched her leave the class, but I still felt it, signaling she wasn't far. It was strange to have such a feeling. I had never felt so connected to someone before. Even my wolf; Huxley, was excited. I was certain she was not my mate. Her scent wasn't driving me crazy or anything, but I still felt that strong urge to have her around me. How was that even possible?
As I got closer to the door, I could hear her nervous breathing. I knew she was there, waiting for me. The moment I stepped out, I saw a can of coke coming toward my face. I quickly averted it and watched as it spilled all over her.
*Did this bitch just try to pour a can of coke on me?* I asked inwardly in fury.
*Derek was right, she is into you* my wolf; Huxley chuckled mischievously
*Shut the fuck up* I snapped at him
Derek said a lot of things, but one thing I was willing to confirm was if she was a witch or not. This was a perfect time. Witches were slightly hydrophobic. Submerging them into water might make them manifest violently. If she knew all she knew about me because she was a witch, then I needed to confirm.
I grabbed her hands without saying a word and marched with her to the toilet. She tried to struggle, having no idea of a wolf's strength. I wanted the truth and I was going to get it from her.
"Get yourself clean" I ordered and watched her shudder in fear. Her face held confusion, but I could sense the fear in her heart, which was strange. I didn't know how it was possible to feel the emotions of someone who wasn't your mate.
She bent her head to the tap and I turned it on, waiting for something to happen, but nothing did. She wasn't a witch after all. Then how did she know everything about me? How did she know I got my wolf at Nineteen instead of eighteen? I was certain I had never met her in my life, but she knew me.
"Who are you?" I asked in confusion. Everything she said about my life was true, apart from the girl she kept mentioning as my mate, but why would she lie about something like that?
*But what if she isn't lying?* My wolf Huxley asked and I began to think of the possibilities of the truth in what she said.
What if she was a seer and was simply telling me about my future?
Kira's POV He stormed out, leaving me puzzled. I looked around to see if there was anyone in the toilet before leaving. He acted so strangely, offering me help and then leaving so suddenly. He could have just let me be, rather than giving me false hope that I was getting a step closer to convincing my mate. "Hey Mirabel" someone called me from behind and I turned, knowing it was Christine. I didn't bother to hide the pain in my eyes. There was no point. "I have been looking for you everywhere," She said in a worried tone. I couldn't help but wonder why she cared so much about me when I wasn't worth it. I fucking called her a red, blonde potato days ago, which I didn't apologize for, but she still found the need to stick with me. "Well how did it go?" she beamed with excitement. "Bad" I pointed at my wet hair and watched as her eyes widened in astonishment. "Woah, he did that?" "No he didn't, I did" She was taken aback. "Care for an explanation" "I was going to dump a can of
Kira's POV I clutched my purse to my side as I walked down the school foyer. I wasn't interested in attending any lectures today. What happened yesterday gave me a cue that my powers were still in me. I just needed to find a way to unravel it. In my old self, I read a lot about witchcraft and sorcery. It didn't give me new powers, but it did help me focus and connect with my powers.As I looked at the books on the shelf, I sighed in frustration. None of the books were promising at all. Physics, chemistry, and biology, none of them had what I was looking for."You don't seem impressed "I heard a voice from behind and I turned to see who it was.It was a black-haired, handsome pale-skinned, hazel-eyed guy, leaning against the shelf opposite me. I didn't know all things, but I sure knew he wasn't the type to be in a library. Hot guys hated libraries."Not at all""What are you looking for?" he walked towards me and began scanning the shelf with me. "I can help""Well, you already are"
Kira's POVI couldn't focus on the book I was reading because I kept thinking of the guy I met at the library Ken. He knew me as Kira even though I didn't tell him who I was and he acted so weird. I was confused. I didn't know how to contact him. Maybe I shouldn't have let him go. Now I had a lot of questions. If he knew me as Kira, then he might know how the body swap happened. But how would he know? Was his telekinesis aiding him?"Stop thinking Kira, focus," I hit my head with my palm. I was with the book, but I wasn't in the library. I snuck it home despite the warning he gave me. I planned on taking it back when I was done. There was no I would be casting spells in a library even if it was deserted.I was in the school toilet. Weird, but that was the only secretive place I could find to hide from the whole school and most definitely Christine. She was basically everywhere.I began to mutter some spells I found in the book, but it felt like I was speaking gibberish. None of it mad
"Hey, ken! Come back here!".I screamed running towards him. I was going to fight him with every strength in my body until I got that book back. I was pretty sure he heard me, but he continued walked like he didn't. I jumped in front of him, panting very hard. My new body wasn't fit at all. "What is it?" "You heard me calling, didn't you?" "I did" "And you continued walking?" "I don't see why I have to listen to you" I rolled my eyes at him. There was no way I could get the book from him because he was much stronger than I am. The only choice I had was to beg for the book if at all I wanted it. "Can you give me the book back?" I paused. "please" He chuckled at my humility and I immediately regretted begging him. "What was that supposed to be? Your mother didn't teach you how to beg properly" "Don't be so difficult" I glared at him. "You never cease to amaze me" "I need this book" "To practice spells?" "Exactly, why won't you help me by giving me the book?" "Not a chanc
Kira's POV I turned to leave without asking him when he would be free. I was just too excited to spend some time with him. Now I have two tutorials. One for my powers, the other for my education. I looked forward to both. First I would go to Ken's house, to learn a thing or two. Then I will practice what I learned with Austin. I wasn't going to let the chance he gave me slip away. ***** I stayed quiet while eating dinner with my family. I wasn't hungry, but my overprotective mother wouldn't let me be. She was concerned about my health even though I was perfectly fine. "So" Madison, my sister began, dropping her fork on her plate. "We were thinking of sending you to Manhattan to study. We all think Starhill isn't good enough for you" "What do you mean?" I asked with a scowl on my face. "New York is a very... )" I didn't let her finish before cutting her short. "I'm not leaving los Angeles" This place was the only shot I had in getting my old self back and they wanted me to leave
Kira's POV "can you at least let me take the book home?" I asked already feeling frustrated. He didn't want to give me any space and there was no I could practice spells when he was in the room, paying attention or not."No" he replied plainly."Why?" "Because I don't want you to""So you enjoy my company that well?"."No, I don't. I can't say I despise it either""Can you please teach me how to practice spells? as you said""I told you I am not a wizard""So you just said that to lure me here? Great. I think I'm done. There's no point anyway" I shut the book and grabbed my bag to leave.He didn't say a word and I felt hurt that he didn't try to stop me. When I had gotten to the door, I tried walking past it, but before I could, the door was shut forcefully. I was shocked as I turned to look at him. No way that happened due to natural causes."What just happened?" I turned to look at him with my eyes wide open in shock.He stood up and walked towards me with the book in his hand. "T
Kira's POV. I put on a red dress, straightened my hair, and did a little makeup. Anyone who saw me would think something big was about to happen and yes, a big thing was indeed about to happen. I was going to spend some time with my mate and I had to look my best. After looking at myself one last time in the mirror, I left my room. I was already late for school, but I didn't care. I got outside and took my car. After constantly begging Rebecca to stop letting Cosmos drive me to school, she agreed and now I was free from his shell and partly from my mother's. I felt exhilarated as I drove to school and couldn't stop thinking about Austin. It felt like my heart would burst with joy. When I got to school, I packed my car and stepped down. As soon as I stepped down from my car, Christine, who had been waiting for me, was astonished. "Woah, is there something happening today that I don't know of?" "I have a study date with Austin" I squared my shoulder and smiled in satisfaction. "A
Austin POVAll my life of being a werewolf, I had never for once seen something like this. One thing was certain, she wasn't a human girl, but I couldn't classify her as a witch because I wasn't sure witches were as strong as that. For the first time, I saw my life flash before my very eyes and I didn't hesitate to leave the moment I got up on my feet.I went back outside to meet Alpha Stanley."Where did you take her to?" He asked the moment he saw me approaching him"She's not coming back""How did she know I am an Alpha?" he asked, staring at me closely and I rolled my eyes."Do you think I told her about the pack?""Then how did she know about the pack house?" "She is the girl I told you about""The one who claimed she is your mate?""Yes""And you confirmed she is not a witch?""I did the water test and she didn't react, but I still have my doubts""Then there is the probability that..."I didn't let him finish. I instantly felt angry. "And so what if she's a witch?" "You of al
FinaleThe next morning I woke up to a text from Christine that read; “come online” I still had a lot of sleep in my eyes, but when I was able to check why she told me to come online, the sleep left my eyes. It felt as though I was dreaming, but I wasn’t. Behold, behind my screen was my older self and there was a caption that said missing.What the actual fuck? I asked myself. The last time I checked, I didn’t exist anymore, so there was no was no way someone who didn’t exist was declared missing.I called Christine again because it wasn’t adding at all. The worse thing was, it was all over the internet. They said I had been missing for 6 months and that was the duration in which I had lived in my new body.“Did you see the girl? Remember her right? She asked even before I had the chance to and that only succeeded in adding to my confusion.“Remember? Christine you were the one who said you didn’t know this girl” I remembered vividly when I asked her the first time I happened to find
The other half of me My leg was placed on the edge of the window, ready to jump out when I heard a beep from my phone and I stopped. I brought it out from where I kept it firmly in my pockets and answered the call. it was from Christine. “Mirabel” she called out the moment I answered the call. “ken is awake,” she said and my heart skipped a beat. What the fuck did she say. How was that even possible? I asked myself. Well, there was only one way for me to find out. I ended the call and was about to jump down from my window once more when the door to my room suddenly opened. My mind jumped out of my body, but it calmed down when I realize it was just Rebecca, but it picked up pace when I realize I was about to do something that she had warned me not to do. “what are you doing?” she asked and I knew it was already late. If I wanted to see ken, I had to make up my mind to go against her. “I’m sorry mum,” I said and jumped down and landed perfectly from a building as high as that with
Kira’s POV“I have to tell you something” I said to Christine, but didn’t realize I was yelling. She almost choked on the cigarette between her lips.“What the fuck Kira” she frowned at me, but I didn’t care. I was desperate at that point.“I need to tell you something” I repeated like she hadn’t heard me the first time. How desperate was I. but why I wouldn’t when I got the news of me leaving this body? I needed to let her know incise me bumped into her in my next life, she wouldn’t see me as a freak.I looked around to see if there was anyone lurking around because I was most definitely going to be called a freak if they heard what I was about to say. I was certain Christine was going to think of me the same way, but I had to tell her.“I am right here” the frown on her face hardened and I had to mutter a little sorry to make her be less mad at me for almost killing her seconds ago.“I am living this body” I said in the lowest tone possible” I said, but the look on her face didn’t c
Chapter 100I boiled in rage as I ran to where Xavier was. He could hear me calling but he chose to play deaf and pretend I was important at all and it pissed me off.I tapped him hard on the shoulder when I got to where he was and he turned to look at me in frustration. “Don’t you dare look at me like that? I am the one who has the right to be angry” I said and he rolled his eyes at me as though I was the one who had the problem. He was the one trying to take my mate away from me.“you can't tell me how to look at you” he shot at me. true, but there was countless way he didn’t have to act like a jerk. Why did he have to be so mean all the time, like I was the cause of his many problems?Where are you taking ken to?” I asked he replied plainly and tried to walk inside the car, but I stopped him by holding his hand. He turned to look at me with a lot of disgust in his eyes.“do you seem to realize you have no right to be a part of his life anymore,e,” he said and I scoffed.What
Chapter 99 “hey you” my feet went as fast as they could at the sight of the witch. I totally forgot I had to follow Christine home at the sight of her and I started chasing after her instead. The sound of shuffling footsteps gave me the clue that Christine was just behind me running as well. “Hey!” I knew she could hear me because she wasn’t deaf and had no earphone plugged in, but she kept walking as though she didn’t know I was talking to her. Why did she have to be a bitch all the time_ the kind that knew the perfect way to get me mad I increased my speed and surprisingly that bitch increased her speed? Before I knew it, she was running and I knew I would be damned if I let her run off like that. I and Christine also increased our speed. “Hey stop!” I yelled. It would have been better if I at least knew her name, but I didn’t and that made it weird for me. She kept running until she got into the school female’s toilet and she ran in. “what the actual fuck” said Christine who w
Chapter 98I didn’t sleep a wink at night. Apart from the fact I was angry at the witch for playing with me the previous day. I couldn’t also sleep due to the strong migraine I developed due the beating I received from Bella. I shouldn’t have concluded that I was any match for her.“Oh my God what happened to your face?” I heard a voice and I turned to look at Christine. I had no idea I had walked past her. My mind was only fixed on one person and that was the witch who I didn’t know her name.And yes, I had forgotten to put makeup on my face because I didn’t see the point. Life was almost meaningless because ken wasn’t there.“I got into a fight” I could tell from how her eyes widened that she was surprised. Yes I wasn’t the type to get into a fight, but with the overwhelming frustration and unvented anger, it was hard not lose my mind over a slight provocation.“What the actual fuck” she let out.“Ken’s sister” I let out a distressed air. “That bitch thinks I am the reason he didn’t
Chapter 97Bella’s POVIt was hours since I woke up and I hadn’t moved an inch from my bed. Life made no sense to me anymore. It felt as though I should lay in my bed forever and wallow in my misery for eternity. Maybe that way, I will be closer to my brother who was not awake anymore. I tossed to the other side of my bed as I heard a buzz from my phone. It was no doubt from Xavier. He was probably calling to check if I was still breathing.I ignored the text at first but when I became too much, I groaned in frustration as I tossed to pick it up. “Bella for fuck sake, if you won’t take my call, at least reply my text” he said and I rolled my eyes. Did he expect me to be okay when I had a brother that was prone to be lifeless for almost 20 years or even more?The moment I tossed my phone to the bed in anger, I heard it ring by my side. “Fuck you Xavier” I groaned in frustration, but didn’t ignore the call this time. I knew he was going to keep calling me until I finally took the call,
Chapter 96I turned to leave but he didn’t let me. He pulled me back to look at him. At that point, my cheeks where soaked in tears. I didn’t wipe it off before the sped he used to pull me back deterred me from doing so. His eyes softened the more when he noticed I was crying.“Do you realize how worried I was about you” he asked and I just sobbed. Not caring if we were being stared at. “I went to your house several times and your mother wouldn’t even let me see you”I placed my hand on my head as I sighed. Poor woman. She must have gone through a lot. Now I was planning of leaving her again. No wonder there was a lot of hurt in her eyes as she yelled at me. “She was just scared” I blurted out.“So where did you go Mirabel” he asked more worriedly because I wouldn’t give him a reply.“Can we talk outside instead? I am not comfortable with these stares” I said and I noticed how reluctant he was. Almost as though he didn’t trust me enough to stay put and have a conversation with him out
Kira’s pov“I am not coming to your boyfriend’s house” I made it clear to Christine over the phone.“Jace is not my boyfriend” she defended herself.“Oh that’s his name. Well whatever he is to you, I am not coming to that house” I said with all seriousness, but she ended up chuckling. It wasn’t as though I hated him. He just had a way of making me feel so uncomfortable. His eyes held a lot of hatred each time he gave up at me and I couldn’t help but wonder why Christine saving me pissed him off so much.“He is not home and he not coming back anytime soon, so you have nothing to worry about” she assured him.“I am not just not comfortable with him around” I said truthfully.“He is not always like this, inside he is just a cute bunny” she said and I rolled my eyes.“I knew you’d say something like that. Anyway imp almost there”“Alright” she hung up the call.After about 5 minutes, I was already at Christine’s house. I packed my car by the road side and made it across the street.Standi
