It was a rainy day after school and I was in my boss's coffee shop, working part-time as usual when I got a text message from an anonymous contact. A customer ordered another cup of coffee but I was too intrigued by the video I had got anonymously. Being the girlfriend and Mate of Serafino Stero had left its mark. I am the Shape Shifters College Princess. Aside from my intelligence in my academic performance, I am also the kindest and pure-hearted. My days are always exciting and promising but this one video I just received from an unknown contact tends to turn my whole life upside down. The coffee tray I held on my left palm felled and the coffee cup on it shattered into millions of pieces at my feet. One of the shards pierced my toe but surprisingly I felt no pain. This is all because I am experiencing the greatest agony as my heart begins to thud. What is more excruciating than a Mate saying goodbye by cheating? What is scarier than through a video I have found out a man I ha
" I am yours, Seraf. All yours " " Again " " Yours Seraf. Oh, please don't stop " I begged lustfully the first night we had together. He is gentle with me and very considerate. Though I know I am not his first lady he would make love to, I have given him all of me. We have made love multiple times after the first one and each time comes with unending pleasure and Satisfying moans. We got better together over time and we'd pull one another's clothes anywhere we could. In his bedroom, in my room. In his bathroom or locker room where no one is watching. After our night class when every student had left. He is the best in bed and I know for sure no one will pleasure me in bed as Seraf had done. Sometimes he'd made me cum by sucking on me and I'd begged him never to stop. Staring back at myself in the mirror now makes me realize how foolish I have been all these months to think a young attractive man like Seraf will give a flying Fuck about me. He had used me and now dumped me in th
I am not sure whether it's because of my knowledge about my pregnancy or not but that morning I woke up throwing up. I spent almost half an hour with my head bent down to the sink. It was as though the baby had finds out about my hatred for it's father and then decided to make my morning hell. For some moments I wonders how Seraf would feel if I informed him about his baby. I am sure he would be thrilled. Once he had talk about wanting only one two kids whom he'd love with all his heart. I have a morning class and I am running late. After I freshen up and ready to leave the room, I stop to stare at the empty bed across mine. Estelle hasn't returned. I haven't seen her since I Came back to the hostel the previous day. I was supposed to wonder where she has been but I do not care anymore. She has once been my best friend but not anymore. I have planned on going to the counselor to move me to another room. I walked and headed out of the long hall. I could hear the whisp
Seraf's PovThe cloud of smoke formed before me for some seconds and withered away into thin air. It's cold since the rain just stopped and night is almost upon us. I sat quietly with Kauis, my best friend. I can tell he is worried about me. After all, I have been very quiet since I got to his room. " I thought you have quit smoking, Seraf," He said, but I chose not to listen as I lighted up another cigarette. I still can't believe Hayven would break up with me without getting to the root of everything. It has come as a shock to me and now I don't think I'd be sane again. As I continued to smoke, the thought came to me and I creased up my face in confusion. " Hayven won't go from me to Bastiano, will she? " " She is not that type of lady. And I even think you should try focusing more on yourself than wallowing in self-pity" " I can't... Forget her, Kauis. I can't seem to have the strength to forget her " I bow in sorrow, wondering what would become of me now that the lady I lo
Hayven's povI stood still in the room I had shared with Estelle, staring out from the window towards the horizon. There was a very wide billboard ahead and on it was an image of Seraf and Bastiano making a commercial advertisement as usual. What comes with their titles as a Prince is a load of work and responsibilities. They model, go for commercials, train, and study, too. Surprisingly, they both excel in these without any mistakes. Now that I stood still in my bedroom with my luggage all packed up to leave, I started to feel reluctant. Three days have passed without Estelle coming back home. She seemed to have disappeared from the surface of the earth, and to make the situation all worse, I couldn't find Seraf anywhere too. I wouldn't want to think they are both together. No. Somehow, even though I have decided to end things up with Seraf, I couldn't help but get a bit jealous at the thought of him with another lady. I shifted my gaze from the billboard back to my luggage and I
Hayven's PovI slammed the door shut and stood frozen in the doorway, my heart shattering into a million pieces as I imagined Seraf with Estelle in bed, giggling and making love. I felt betrayed, and my skin crawled at this thought. He seems to have forgotten the delirious day and night of passion we have once shared. The thought of him moving on so soon makes me heartbroken. I felt a stinging sensation in my eyes as tears began to well up, but I refused to let them fall. I wouldn't give him the satisfaction of making me cry. I took a step forward, my heart heavy with grief as I tried to face my new life ahead.I walk further into the room to perceive a peculiar scent. Immediately I stopped and waited. My roommate isn't a werewolf or a Fox. She is different. The aura in the room is different. Calm and soothing. I headed further into the small comfy room that has two beds. Each beside the wall and facing one another.There I saw the most beautiful young woman. She looked up from her
Seraf's PovI can't believe she never called. Not even once. I sat silently in my large bedroom, checking my call logs. The ones I have missed are many. Kauis called me the most. My coach, my sponsor, who I modeled for, and some other few friends. Estelle called me twice, too, but none was from Hayven. I tossed the cell phone on my large bed as I buried my face into the hollow of my palm. It seems she is done with me after all. Sadness overwhelmed my soul and I felt like shedding tears. How could she? How could she not be worried about me not showing up to school for three days? Did she hate me that much now? Is this the end of the love we have once shared? The vow we have taken? The delirious night and days of passion we have shared? I met and loved her at first sight, even before knowing she was my mate. I felt she was my missing rib, so I cut off my wayward lifestyle to suit her. I am so ready to do anything for her but... In the end, she couldn't give me a chance, let me explai
Hayven's PovThe rain was pouring heavily when Siren and I made our way into the large library. We busted through the large entrance at a go, breathing hard and, at the same time, commanding a lot of attention.Other students who were also there to study were busy staring at us when Bastiano raised his hand from where he sat and beckoned at me. " Let's go. That's my partner in the assignment," I said to Siren, who had overdressed, and we went together to meet Bastiano. As usual, he is handsome. He was putting on a white sweatshirt and a jacket. His black baggy pants and trousers were accompanied by his comfy boots. He looked every inch like Seraf, and I almost mistook him for my ex-boyfriend. " Take a seat. You must be cold " " No, I'm fine. Thank you, " I quickly said before he laid a hand on me. I wouldn't deny I know already he is interested in me. His care and attention are a bit too much for a lady like me. I went to take my seat while expecting Siren to do so as well, but
Seraf's PovI am going back home that night without fail. The thought of seeing Hayven again makes me smile happily. I can't wait to hold her in my arms and kiss her. My baby, too, is waiting for me. To make it all interesting, I have bought an engagement ring. I have spent sixteen days in the human world, but my abilities are still there. I am healthy too. I was already packing up in my small, comfy room when the sound of approaching footsteps came to the door. I stopped when I heard the knock." Who is it? " I asked out loud. " It's Siren " " One second," I said aloud again before walking to open the door. I didn't let her in. I just thrust my head out to see her already packed up too, ready to leave. I smiled at her. She has been very supportive. Together, we have worked to get the report on why wolfbane hurt werewolves. The answers truly lie in the human world. We have already prepared a report, and we'll be submitting it when the time is due. " I will finish packing up too t
Hayven's PovIt's a rainy night. Though I was supposed to go to my dad's house after class, the short story and my encounter with Bastiano had weakened me, so I decided to take a rest before stepping out. I took a short nap, and when I woke up, it was already night and raining. Still, I decided to make the journey. I have to tell my dad about Seraf and my pregnancy. He knows already about Seraf. I have spoken about him a few times. He'd just nod his head and continue in his task. My Dad is a Fox but he is a Mute too. He is my hero. My Savior and my backbone. He has been a single father since my mom gave birth to me and disappeared from our life one rainy night like this one. As I dressed up for my visit, her thoughts clouded my heart. I wonder what she might be up to now. Is she still alive? Did she regret her actions? Let's forget about her. Now I need to go to my dad. I grabbed my bag and headed out. The hall was silent and deserted but when I arrived at the lower one, I saw it
Hayven's PovI couldn't concentrate on the lecture in class. The words from the professor didn't settle well with me. I was busy on my cellphone, redialing Seraf's contract for the umpteenth time, but it didn't go through. Two weeks had passed by but it seems to be Twenty years. Seraf didn't call. Not even Siren. At first, I didn't want to panic, but now I couldn't help it. My morning sickness had started, and I needed Seraf with me. Again, I tried his contact, but then the professor asked a question, directing it towards me. " Hayven what do you think about it? " I didn't reply. This is because I am unaware of his question. My eyes were glued to the cellphone, and my heart was in my throat when I received a text from Seraf. It reads. ' Hi, Honey. I'm sorry I'm reaching out like this. Everything goes as planned and I'm done here. I am only awaiting my dad's order. Before I return be more careful. My regards to Kauis. He had called me more than a thousand times. Gotta go now. Love
Hayven's PovI heard the movement coming from the living room, and it woke me up. Very slowly I sit up. It's a beautiful bright Sunday. My eyes look around the beautiful room and down to the bed where the incident had taken place the previous night. At once a smile broke out from my face. Seraf had made love to me again. Now I feel much better than ever. I got out of bed and reached out into the closet to take one of his T-shirts, which I wore. Then I headed towards the living room. My hair ruffled, but I didn't care. When I emerge into the large, luxurious building, I stop abruptly. I didn't expect to see Siren and Kauis in the living room too. Seraf is nowhere to be seen. " Hey, girl, " Siren greeted me with a wink, and I smiled at him while Kauis waved at me. I returned with the same gesture and then looked around, wondering where my man was. That was when I saw him walking into the living room with a cup of coffee in his hand. He was sipping it. Seraf emerges into the living r
Hayven's Pov " She is perfectly okay. Being a Fox must have helped her so much. But uh ... As for the baby, I would suggest she had a lot of rest. As a Fox, she should be immune to silver, but now Silver will hurt her, so she has to stay away from it, " Doctor Kendrick says to Seraf and me. Though his eyes were directed at the werewolf Prince. I am on a bed in one of Seraf's houses, which he owned. It wasn't too far from college. He had brought me here hours ago after the competition came to an end. Though I have told him we can stay back in school, he has disagreed. He didn't want to take me to the Twins building. He knows so well I might run into his twin brother and this he didn't want for now. The most surprising event is that the doctor Seraf had called upon happened to be the doctor who had attended to me when Bastiano saved me. After gazing at the doctor, I began to have doubts about him. I watch as he speaks and gives Seraf my do's and Don'ts. Before he finished his speec
Hayven's PovThat day, on Saturday, won't be the first time I will accompany Seraf to a competition with his twin brother. I have accompanied him multiple times, and each time they had a competition, my love, my mate, won. Bastiano lost as usual, and I wondered why. He is best when compared with other competitors, but with Seraf, he will always come out as the second. That bright morning, the Aquatic Center was crowded with authorities and students who had arrived to watch who'd be the winner between the Stero Twins. My mate arrived a bit late. He pulled up his car and stopped before the center, gathering a lot of attention. The authorities and his swimming coach were already waiting for him. Seraf took his time when he alighted. He circled the car to open the car door for me but I quickly alighted to see him already standing before me. His lips twitch for some seconds before he reaches out to pull down my hairband so my hair will fall lovely around my shoulders. " Much better now
Hayven's PovI pulled up my hair into a ponytail and picked up my bag. Doctor Kendrick had called to remind me of my appointment, and I told him I would soon be on my way.Thursday had ended in sorrow for me. The look in Seraf's eyes the moment I made my confession still haunts me to this day. Friday had passed without him showing up. I didn't hear anything from either Seraf and Bastiano. I spent the Friday in my room. I couldn't attend classes or pick up my dad's call. He'd know something was wrong with me the moment He heard my voice, and I would hate to make him worry. " You can't go to the hospital, Hayven. This is stupid," Siren said behind me, but as usual, I ignored her. She has heard the whole story from me, and since then, she has been hellbent on getting me not to have the abortion. I headed towards the exit, but she blocked my way immediately. Her beautiful eyes glared at me. " You will regret it till you die if you kill that child in you, Hayven. For goodness sake! You
Seraf's PovI burst out of Hayven's room and headed towards the exit. On my way, I nearly collided with Kauis and Siren. They were surprised to see my state. At once, they started asking questions, but I ignored them instead. I headed out, into the gradually dark sky. My heart aching. I can hardly breathe. I can't seem to find comfort in anything. Blindly, I made my way to the school Aquatic Center. A center my dad donated as well. Both I and Bastiano pools are designed with special care. There I go to pour down my soul and heart. It was isolated. No one dares walk around without the authority's permission. Only Bastiano and I are allowed in, but that day, Kauis rushes in after me. He stood just behind me as I cried painfully. He allowed me to empty my emotions. He gave me the space I needed, and somehow I couldn't thank him more. The thought of having that one person in my corner every time and every day made me feel a bit better. It takes a long time before I sober up. My head
Hayven's PovI packed up all my books away from the shelf and laid them gently in my bag. My clothes, which were in the closet I now shared with Siren; I approach them and pack them too, folding them gently into another bag of mine. After Seraf had visited me that afternoon, after he had showered me with his love and adoration as always without knowing what I had done, without knowing I had attempted to kill his baby, I felt guilty. I felt the guilt weighing down my heart that it was hard to breathe. What do I do to deserve such a young man? I am a crazy fellow who didn't give him a chance to explain himself when he wanted. I am the same girlfriend who rejected him and turned him down before the whole class. I am ashamed of myself, and somehow, I couldn't find it in my heart to forgive myself. Now I have arrived at a decision. I will punish myself by moving out of Shapeshifters College. I'd drop out of the prestigious college and go back home. I'd explain things to my dad and he wo
