(Doris' Pov)The dean left for his office immediately, and I quickly pulled Xavier away from so many envious eyes that were staring at us."There are so many eyes on us right now which I don't like and I'm sure you don't as well. How about we find a place where there won't be any disturbance for us?" I whispered into his ear as we walked away."I would love that." He did the same and left a wide grin on his face.We walked hand in hand, down the Academy's hallway till we found an empty classroom. Xavier lifted me and placed me on a desk immediately after we entered the classroom.My face turned into a wide blush at his gestures as he placed his arms around my waist. I wrapped my arms around his neck and pulled him closer. We leaned forward to each other and connected our yearning lips.It was a long, slow, and passionate kiss, with no pressure attached and the sounds of our mouths filling the silent room. We broke out of the kiss gently and rested on each other's foreheads with smiles
(James' Pov)I bowed my head down as I stared at the floor in regret, not knowing what to do. "If I end up leaving this Academy, my career will be ruined and all the decades of my hard work will be in vain." I thought in my head. I didn't want to let that happen so I began contemplating how I would apologise to Doris.Just as I was hesitating to beg for mercy, I heard a familiar voice calling me from the front. That was the voice of my son, Abraham, as I looked up and saw his worried expression. Abraham was a moon wolf and also an Iron Claw warrior.He quickly stepped forward and bent down. "What's wrong, Dad? What happened here?" He asked as he helped me up to my feet. He acknowledged the presence of the dean and Elder Garrison and introduced himself before he returned his gaze to me.His eyes immediately went to the plaster on my arms and his face turned into a heavy frown. "Is this not an injury? How did you sustain it? Who hurt you?" He asked hurriedly while looking all over my ar
(Doris' Pov)Everyone that was around us kept looking at me. Some were envious stares while some were states that anticipated my response to Elder Garrison."I think she's too happy to respond to the grand offer.""Yeah, I guess so. That's why she hasn't said or done anything yet."Others agreed to the speakers, while I stood still with no obvious reaction or response to Elder Garrison's offer.Unlike other students and those around, the one offered looked at me with a little unhappy eyes. Since he saw that I did not react to his news, unlike the rest of the students who were amazed, his expression and demeanour dampened.The dean who was also waiting for a response from me, subtly held my arm. "Why are you not saying anything? You should agree to the wonderful order." He urged gently.The surroundings became tense in anticipation as murmurs filled the air."She will agree now." I heard from my side."Yeah, now that the dean has reminded her. Who knows, maybe she has forgotten herself
Elder Garrison:I left the academy and soon arrived at a very luxurious and large private villa which also has a manor. It was the villa of Tobias, the second elder, and was also the place where the meeting was arranged to be held.Stepping out of the car, I saw Maximus who was just a few steps away from me. He was one of the Iron Claw warriors that were recently trained by whom I have no idea of. He was the most powerful among the warriors that were trained.After the training and his full recovery with the help of his trainer, his strength had reached a higher level which did not go unnoticed by many including myself. This had made him to be audibly grateful to his trainer and I'm sure hearing the news about 100 warriors has moved him to give it a trial, hence his presence here.As I took a step forward, his powerful aura suddenly got my attention. Maximus kept a smile on his face as he noticed my presence. He approached me immediately and bowed his head."You must be an Elder Garri
(Doris’ Pov)The second elder and I were still chatting the moment away when a very beautiful and elegant-looking woman got down from a car, a few steps away from where we stood."Lady Anya!" The second elder called out immediately as he saw her. She walked towards us with a cool smile on her face as her gaze fell on both of us, one after the other."It's good to have you here, welcome." He greeted them warmly and respectfully as they shared a hug."And I'm glad to be here." She responded with a calm smile as they broke the hug."You look really beautiful by the way." The second elder complimented her with a wide grin."Thank you." She blushed at the compliment, turned her gaze to me and stood elegantly at my front. "I know you. You are Doris, right? Anyways I'm Anya, but you can call me Lady Anya. I like it when I'm called that." She grinned stylishly and brought out her hand for a handshake.I raised an eyebrow and looked down at her hand, waiting for a proper introduction and not a
(Maximus' Pov)Everyone looked surprised when I released my aura and talked about myself. They could feel how strong I was as it did not leave their mouths. I was very proud of myself for that, and also for coming out as the first person in front of everyone, to challenge and defeat one of the recommended candidates.Still, on the stage, I decided to say something else. "Elder Garrison found me and also discovered my potential, which I'm very grateful to him. However, I would like to challenge that arrogant person, that man who thinks he is strong enough and can reject and disrespect Elder Garrison. I want to teach him a lesson, so if he is sure that he is man enough, he should come out here and fight with me."I knew I spoke in an arrogant manner, which was also noticed and acknowledged by Elder Garrison as he looked very satisfied when my gaze met with him. Murmurs and whispers filled the air as everyone began talking about whom I was referring to.There was still no one coming out
(Elder Garrison's Pov)Doris, having such identity and authority was not what I expected. She looked like she was only in her early twenties and that age is still too young to have such. 'There must be something wrong.' I thought inwardly as my brows creased, revealing my suspicion all over my face.The man noticed that I suspected something and shook his head. "You have doubts written all over your face, but I'd like you to know that she was also approved by the first elder. Besides, he even announced her identity to everyone at the banquet." He had a convincing smile on his face as he spoke.I had no choice but to believe it, no matter how suspicious it was to me. To think that I had to ask her to work for me, and also went ahead to threaten her that she would never be able to meet 100 warriors in her life otherwise, I would give up my position as an elder. Thinking about what I had done and said just made me want to slap myself."We should stop our little quarrel and be friendly to
(Maximus’ Pov)Although I was in pain after being defeated by Zane, I couldn't help but feel angered when he proudly boasted and called me a waste, also belittling the werewolf kingdom. I remained on the ground in pain as I had already sustained injury.Zane, talking about the werewolf king allowing the vampire elites to enter into the kingdom caused an uproar among the werewolves. Although I was not fully paying attention to their complaints and grievances due to my pains, I could hear the audible voices."Did our king allow the vampire elites to come into this kingdom?" An angry voice asked out loud."That's unbelievable and impossible. He wouldn't do that, not when he knows the enmity between both kingdoms."They all began to voice out in anger, saying that the vampire in their midst, Zane, was just saying nonsense and that no one would believe him. They added that he was only trying to get into them.Looking over at Zane, I saw that he was nonchalant about the attitude and disagre
