Hayven's pov
I 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 sighed. The counselor had heard my cry of distress, and she moved me to another room where she said I would be sharing with a new student who had just been transferred to Shape Shifters College. I couldn't be more relieved and happy. I feel it's all over now. Almost. I have booked an appointment with Doctor Kendrick, who has carried out the pregnancy test on me. He claims he has a tight schedule, so he has fixed our meeting for Saturday, which is four days later. On Saturday I plan to abort the pregnancy. No need to breed Seraf's baby when I am done with him. I reach out for my luggage as I drift back to reality. My traveler's bag and two duffle bags. It wasn't much of a hassle, but when I got out of the room and appeared in the long hallway, it was the girls gossiping outside their rooms that caught my attention. They all went silent immediately after I appeared. I know they'd mock me but I have stopped caring. Gently, I headed to my new room, which is located on the top floor. I was almost at the end of the hall when I heard my name. " Hayven! " I stop abruptly and turn around to see Bastiano walking up to me. His smile was innocent and tender. I return his smile too. I wouldn't deny he has been so nice to me these past three days. We have also been working on our Assignment already and I felt we'd come out with the best results. " Where are you off to? " He asked me in confusion. " I have been moved to another room upstairs. I got a new roommate as well " " Oh, " He laughed. " For a moment there I thought you were leaving SSC " " Why should I love Shape Shifters College when I am almost done? " I asked him with a smile, even though the Truth hurt me. Yeah, I wish I could leave, but I can't. I have come here through a scholarship, which I have studied hard for. My father has been excited about it. He had to work himself off to pay for my upkeep and other necessary things. I won't dare disappoint him by giving up halfway. Bastiano cut into my thoughts by taking my traveler's bag and one duffle bag from me. He then gestured for me to lead the way. It wasn't that far, and when I got to the top, I sighed in relief. The top hall wasn't crowded like the lower one which I am grateful for. I headed towards room 0028 immediately. " Thank you so much, Bastiano. I can take it from here, " I told him when we got to the entrance, and he nodded. After he placed down the bags and straightened up to look at me, I suddenly felt the urge to ask him Seraf's whereabouts, but I was distracted by Kauis's unexpected presence. He is breathing hard when he runs up to us. " I have been searching for you everywhere, Bastiano," He said. " Why are you not picking up your calls? " " I never knew it was mandatory to pick up your call, " Bastiano replied angrily, and I was taken Back. I never know he has that side of him. Seraf has always been the rude one but now, seeing this side of Bastiano makes me wonder. He glanced at me, and when he saw my surprise, he smiled brightly and added to Kauis. " That's a joke. I apologize. I was busy with the assignment Mr Train gave to Hayven and me. Please tell me why you have called " Kauis frowned in confusion, but he replied anyway. " I have tried calling Seraf, but his contact isn't going through. He hasn't been attending classes, either. Do you know where he is? " I suddenly flinch. Kauis as well couldn't reach Seraf. Really? But he is his best friend. I began to worry. Is Seraf safe? " Yes, I know where he is " Bastiano replied, stunning me. " Where is he? " I suddenly asked, unable to endure the suspense. After I asked this question, I received the attention of the two young men who regarded me with surprise. Their eyes felt like a slap to me, and I looked away, wondering why I had asked out loud. " He has been with Estelle for the past three days, Hayven, " Bastaino Replied, shattering my heart. " Do you want a video of them now too? " My heart dropped and I felt stupid. Anger rose again as well and frustration crept into my soul. How could I love someone so much to this extent of being trapped? I lowered my head in embarrassment as I picked up my bags, opened the door, and busted in. I have guessed it and now it's the truth. No wonder Estelle couldn't be found too. She is with Seraf. She is with him. Oh no.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 PovIn silence, in awe, I watched as the lady I love walked out on me and entered into the rain. It was storming and cold, but to escape from me, she had to torture herself that way. Her glare, her accusations, and her hatred all linger in my mind, almost making me go berserk. She just said... Wait a second. I whirled around to gaze at Bastiano only to see him packing up his books and getting ready to leave as well, probably to meet up with Hayven to console her. I rushed to him immediately. This time I gripped him by the collar with my eyes blazing fury. " What did you tell her? What in the world did you tell her Bastiano,? Did you tell her I ... I was with Estelle for three days and nights? Goodness Bastiano. You know how much I love her. Why are you doing this to me? " I am frustrated and stressed out. I couldn't pinpoint what to do anymore. It was as though my whole life was collapsing before me, and even though I had so much wealth, I still couldn't save myself at al
Seraf's Pov I stood still with my head up high towards the window of Hayven. There I am with Kauis in the middle of the night, under the rain, awaiting the mermaid's report. I never have imagined myself to be in this state. A state where I'd love one lady more than life itself. Where I will be willing to be a fool for her. Siren's head suddenly pops out from the window, catching my attention. At once, I waved up at her, and she smiled. I watch her take her cell phone and put a call across me. The new room of Hayven, 0028, is up there on the top floor, so we would either wake the sleeping students up or we'd have our conversation silently on cellphones. " Hi Seraf, " Siren's perfect voice came through when I answered the call, and I looked up towards her as though to answer her. " What's going on? Where is my mate? " " She must have been tired, Seraf. She has gone to bed already. She appears to be worn out. " Silent fell between Siren and me. The only sound that can be heard is
Hayven's Pov" Hayven! Hayven!! " Last night has been hell for me. I have been down with a small fever and cold. Now that I was supposed to be having a peaceful morning time since it's Thursday, My new crazy roommate won't let me be. I forced my eyes open but still lay on the bed, feeling tired, when Siren burst into the room. Her eyes wide open in terror. " You need to come out now, Hayven. It's Seraf " I flinched. Yes, I know I am done with him and all but wait. What are these vulnerable feelings I am now experiencing? Oh no. My mate. " What happened to me? Where is he? Speak up, siren. What is going on with him? " I didn't notice I was already in a panic. I break up with Seraf doesn't mean I wouldn't worry about him. What in the hell has he gotten himself into now? " Before you go to Seraf I think you should see Bastiano first. It's all over the college. You should go to the school infirmary. Go " I took Siren's words without any hesitation. I didn't bother to tidy up my hai
Hayven's PovBastiano. The name keeps echoing in my head. I wouldn't believe it without evidence. So I thought but the sincerity in Seraf's eyes couldn't be ignored. He is holding onto me very tenderly, possessively, protectively, and at once, I felt a pang of guilt. It was as though I had been punched in my gut. In a swift moment, I moved away from him, my vision going blurry with tears. My inner thought tells me it's too early to start shedding tears of regret and guilt. If Seraf turns out to be innocent in all that is happening I wouldn't be able to look at him straight in the eyes ever. I moved quickly away from him, trying to find solace in myself and to steady my heart which is now swaying. " Bastiano isn't capable of doing all this, Seraf. You shouldn't suspect your twin brother " All these words were said with me hiding, almost fleeing from him, and he kept quiet. He didn't move an inch from where he stood for a while, not until I turned to him to see he was staring at me
Hayven's Pov" Estelle... " I called but no answer came. She couldn't answer because she couldn't hear me. Painful tears welled up in my eyes. Yes, I have already pronounced her as the enemy. I promised I wouldn't have anything to do with her anymore, but I was so wrong. I moved out of our room doesn't mean I wish her death or pain. Her going to bed with my mate doesn't mean ... It doesn't mean she should die, damn it! I fell beside the bed. My legs going weak. Somehow, I felt all that had happened was all my fault. If only I have trusted Seraf more. If only. If only. " I'm sorry Estelle. I shouldn't have hated you. I shouldn't have pushed Seraf away. If only I can turn back time. If only... " " If only but that is impossible, Hayven. Time can't be turned back " The voice of Bastiano came through, and I looked up to see him standing just behind the curtain. It seems he had been there ever since I walked into the room. He had visited Estelle first. Isn't he supposed to be at the s
