I 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 books, and our eyes locked. She has blue pairs of eyes and plump red lips. Never have I seen someone so beautiful and elegant. Without being told I know at once which race she is from. " Hi. I am Siren. A mermaid. I study health and cures, "She introduced, and I nodded. Yes. A mermaid. That's who she is. Slowly, I shifted my gaze from her stunning, beautiful face to her legs, and I smiled unconsciously. " How do you change to a mermaid? " I asked her without reasoning and she replied with a small chuckle. " When I sing " I smiled again, but then I returned to reality. I walk towards the empty bed, which I believe is mine, and I inform her. " I am Hayven, your new roommate " " Yes. The counselor told me I would have a new... Wait a second. You are Hayven? You mean... Seraf's ex-girlfriend. " She asked as she got up to her feet, and I stepped back, wondering what had gotten into her. She gazes at me for long, and at last, a wide grin appears on her face. " Oh my goodness! You are Hayven, right? " " Yeah, I am " " Seraf's Ex-Girlfriend? " I hated the word ' EX ', but I guess I should take it now and start getting used to it. " Yeah " " Wow. This is so great! I mean, I have been a fan of Seraf all my life. I never knew I'd meet and stay with his ex now " " Uh... His fan? " " Yeah, He's quite famous in Ocean City. We all love him " " Ocean City? Do you mean ... Down under the water? " " Yes, exactly. We love him there " " Ah " " I heard what had happened between you two. Isn't that so unfortunate? " I didn't reply. The heartbreak is still fresh in my heart, and I would rather not talk about it, but Siren won't let me be. I started to unpack and she helped too while saying. " I am transferred to Shapeshifters College for a reason, Hayven " I stop abruptly to ask. " What reason? " She looks up at me and smiles very brightly. " You will know soon. In the meantime, let's get along. Okay? I will appreciate it if you take me under your wing and show me around " " You sound as though you are just arriving today " " Yup, I am. It's uh... " She checked her wristwatch. " I arrived an hour ago. I just finished unpacking and setting my luggage " " Oh. You are fast " " I have to be. My mother will have my head if I am not. Oh, I got a night meeting with my partner in the assignment Mr Train gave you guys days ago " I stop abruptly in making my bed. " Mr Train? " " Yeah " " But I thought you study Health and cure. Besides you are just arriving today. Who else will you partner up with for the assignment? " " I visited Mr Train's office a while ago and he said I should team up with Seraf since he has no one to pair with and yeah I study health and cure which is better because the assignment is about why wolfbane hurt werewolves so it's about finding a cure as well as studying health, right? " She is smart and she will be with Seraf during their partnership. Somehow, I felt a pang of jealousy, but then I smiled and nodded. " Yeah " " You can give me his contact? I couldn't reach him in the class group. He was offline three days ago " Again I swallowed hard. Here I am trying to forget about him and my new roommate keeps repeating his name. " Uh... I deleted his contact information days ago but you can reach his twin brother in the school group if you wanna get in touch with him " Siren stops to stare at me for a long time. At last, she nodded and silently fell. She and I ended up unpacking my luggage and setting up our room. The refrigerator was packed with veggies and I guess she is vegetarian. When I brought up my seafood, she made a face, so I quickly unpacked and went out to gift it to some classmates downstairs. When I returned to room 0028, I overheard Siren speaking to someone on the other end of her cell phone. " Sure. Let's meet up at the school library tonight. Thanks " She disconnected, and I walked further into the room, wondering who she would be meeting up with when she just got to the college. As though she had read my thoughts, she asked. " Oh, Hayven, I will be meeting up with Seraf tonight in the college library. Do you know where the library is located? " Bile rose in my throat but I decided to wave it off by gulping. " Yeah. I also have to meet up with Bastiano tonight in the college library. We can go together. How about that? " "Sounds like a good idea! Now what would I wear? I need to look good for Seraf," I heard her say in a singsong voice as she disappeared into the closet room. I was left dumbfounded by her last words. ' Look good for Seraf ' why? Is she... Wait a second. Is she in love with him?Bab terkait

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

Seraf's PovI lost track of time but I am very sure it must have been over an hour since Hayven had left me. I can still feel her warmth, the softness of her lips, and her beautiful blue eyes. She had stared at me with those eyes filled with love, and I couldn't have wished for more things in life. Hayven completes me. I want nothing more, nothing at all except her. However, I am worried. I am antsy too. Kauis is nowhere to be found after I have sent him to go inform my dad about my situation. I wonder why my dad is taking forever to bail me out. He only needs to say one word, and I'd be a free young man again. While I was pacing about, wondering what was going on outside the correction center walls, I heard the sound of approaching footsteps. At once, I gaze up to see two silhouettes. One of an elderly man and the other of a young man. As they drew nearer, I was able to make out who they were. My Best friend, Kauis, and a security guard. " Seraf! " Kauis suddenly called as he ru

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
