CHAPTER 8
I can't move.
I feel like I was thrown to an oblivion. I feel like I was surrounded by the sharp knives ready to stab me.
This isn't what I expected! I didn't even imagine that I could see him right here! How come he became a doctor?! And a damn professor?!
It can't be! My heart almost jump out of my chest. My feet wants to run away but my body can't even move!
"Let's have our attendance," his baritone voice give chills in my system. I suddenly remembered how that girl kissed him.
I really didn't know him from the start cause I didn't even know that he was a doctor! How could I had a crush on him when the only thing I know about him was his name?!
"Giselle Adam," he started to call names. Damn it! I am damn nervous!
"Present," the girl said with her soft voice and raised her hand. Alqamar looked at her direction and nodded, the girl giggled in that simple interaction with him.
I
CHAPTER 9My mind is so blank right now. I wanted to run as fast as I can but how? When my feet is glued on the ground?I heaved a deep breath and tried to act like I didn't notice him. Yeah! I should act! There is a possibility that he can't remember me anymore. And I should act that I couldn't remember him anymore!That's it!I was about to turned my back on him when he suddenly spoke behind me."Hey!" He called.I bit my lower lip and closed my eyes in annoyance! Why did he call me?! What's wrong with him?! What does he need to me?I slowly turned to face him and I smiled awkwardly. I sighed heavily and I innocently pointed out myself to confirm that it was me that he called."Me? Sir?" I asked. His brows furrowed and his jaw clenched. My knees are melting for some reason. His presence is just too much. He's so tall. Even before, he's always that tall and arrogant looking."Yeah," he said and slowl
CHAPTER 10.1I am about to lose my mind right now. I was dumbfounded as I sat on my bed. I can't think straight. My mind was full of thoughts as I keep hearing the words ' nice to see you again...Lexis' on my mind!What does it mean?!Did...he recognized me?What a fool Lexis! Of course he is! The way he said those words seems like a 'long time no see' to me!What am I gonna do? Should I act? I should be unbothered! What if he ask me the reason why I'm avoiding him?Should I tell him that I saw him kissed another girl when I was a child? And I had a crush on him before?No way! I won't do that! Hell! I won't!I stomp on my bed as I continue to think about the things that might happen. Oh my god! I'm confused!The next day, I saw my new uniform in the bed side. Maybe mom already took it to the sewer. And because I am a nursing student, it's a combination of white and gray. The blouse is color white and has a
CHAPTER 10.2He caught me looking at him so I immediately went back on my paper. What the hell are you doing Lexis?I'm not sure with my answers but I hope there's a correct answer even just a half! I'm not wishing it to be perfect but please make it a half!"I will check your answer later and I will announce your score tomorrow. We'll see who understand my lessons," he said and dismissed the class.I was too tired and disappointed and aside from that I am also nervous. What if I got the lower score? I will be too embarrassed!"What's with your face?" Ronald asked as we're walking towards the cafeteria. It's lunch time now and I don't know how can I eat in this kind of state."I might get a lower score in Sir San Diego's quiz," I said while waiting for our order. Ronald chuckled."It's okay. I'm not also confident," he said."Is that so? You're smart!" I said and pouted. He laughed and shook his head
CHAPTER 11I don't care anymore about my low score in Biochemistry subject. I already studied the hell out of me last night so if sir San Diego would give me a retake quiz I can answer it now!I make sure that he won't be my tutor. I just don't want to entangled with him anymore!I was walking towards our room first thing in the morning and I suddenly remember what happened yesterday between me and Sir San Diego. I can't deny the fact that he's still affects me but I have to fight this wrongful feelings cause he's off limits!I bit my lower lip and sighed heavily. I know that shouting at him was very wrong because he's a professor. Should I apologize to him? So what? I won't apologize to him!I entered the room and I saw that the professor is still not here but I saw Ronald waving at me. Then I remembered what Alqamar said to me yesterday. Ronald is a nice guy so why would I avoid him?"Good morning!" He greeted me. I smiled an
CHAPTER 12I did not talk and remained unresponsive. If he wasn't mad because I shouted at him then what is it?I stared at him but he just looked away and put his hands on his pocket."You have to leave now, your class is about to start," he said and turned his back. I bit my lower lip as I watched him walk away.My head is floating while walking towards my next subject. I didn't even say 'hi' or 'hello' to Ronald when he waved at me.The class start and I tried to focus on it. But I really can't because Alqamar kept popping up inside my head.Break time comes and like usual Ronald was with me. We ordered our foods and search for a table but I guess today is too crowded for us to find a seat."There's no vacant seat, Ronald," I told him."You're right. Are you fine eating in the kiosk?" He asked. I nodded and agreed but we stop walking when a professor called us."Ronald!" We looked at his dire
CHAPTER 13I didn't expect that I will see him here! My plan was just to face my fears and think about the feelings that growing in me!Why is he here by the way? Is he usually hanging out here?"It's late. Why are you here?" He asked in his cold tone. My hands turned cold because I can feel that he's still mad at me. I really don't understand him."Just...reminiscing," I said. I looked away and looked up from the moon above. Even though it's in crescent the light of it is still shining so brightly in the middle of the dark night."Reminiscing...what?" He asked. I looked back at him and I saw him comint towards me. My heart pounded so fast. His presence is too much. I step backwards and tried to calm myself down."M-My nightmares..." I said stuttering because of an unexplainable feelings I have right now. Now that he's near, it is becoming stronger. The fire that keeps lighting up in my system badly wants to come ou
CHAPTER 14.1I really don't understand why I'm now here inside of his car! He just told me that I need to ride with him for me to pass his subject? Is he so concern because I failed again with his current quiz?Am I that too stupid? I'm not smart but I'm not stupid either! I think I'm just average! This is gonna be the first time that I would fail a subject and unfortunately it his subject!"Take this," he said and put a folder on my lap. I glanced at him. He's still driving but he still can manage to gave this folder to me."What is this?" I asked."It's the previous lessons I discussed this past weeks and I noticed that you failed my two quizzes in a row. You have to read it again and you'll take a remedial test after," he said.I closed my eyes in embarrassment. I failed his quizzes in a row? What the hell Lexis? What were you thinking? I even more got embarrassed when I remember how occupied my mind was because of Alqamar.
CHAPTER 14.2He's right. It's the previous lesson he discussed this past few weeks but I really didn't understand the things he was saying because I'm too damn pre-occupied!When I woke up in the morning I told my mom the fieldtrip in school this coming week to prepare them because I'm sure that it requires money before you can join."Did you see the bulletin already?" Ronald asked while we're eating our lunch."Nope. Are you ready for the field trip?" I asked. His brows furrowed. I wondered by his reaction."How did you know about the field trip when you didn't even see the bulletin?" He asked. I got stunned by his question.I blinkted twice. What am I gonna say? That Sir San Diego informed me about it? It will just cause so many questions!"I...I just heard it," I said and continue eating to stop him for being suspicious to me.Earlier, after the first class which is Sir San Diego he as
EPILOGUELooking back to all the things that happened, it seems worth it now. After the accident I woke up with a headache and the first person I saw was a man wearing his white lab coat. He told me that his name was Ronald Madrigal, and I had an accident. At first, I couldn’t believe it. How could I have an accident when I know that I have the greatest power among all my pack? And I am the alpha. But then…I noticed how I clearly remember my childhood memories and the night where I saw my parents soaking with blood but other than that…I remember nothing.I feel like I was stuck in that particular memory and it’s tormenting my mind. It was frustrating to only know a bit of yourself. I remember Fin, Gray, Rael and Cristine because they are part of my memories when I was still young but…I didn’t even remember how I got an accident! Damn!“Don’t stress yourself too much, Alqamar. Your memories will be
CHAPTER 120“When are you planning to go back, Alqamar?” I heard Cristine asked while I am watching the trees danced with the wind. It was still vivid to me. The things that happened and how I almost lost my life in that unfaithful night. And…how I watched Lexis cry while darkness is eating my whole system.I had the choice to go back and tell Lexis that I am alive but it’s not easy at it’s seem. I’ve learned my lesson. Carlos is still alive and probably waiting for his attacks if he finds out that I am alive. When everyone thought that I was killed Carlos stopped chasing and targeting Lexis. It only means one thing. I am the only one he needs and my come back is his trigger to use Lexis again as my weakness. So, I have to remain hidden and just like before…watched Lexis from afar.I don’t want to go back to the days where I was still looking at her from afar but it’s still happening right, an
CHAPTER 119It wasn’t easy. Every time she’ll ask about my identity or my past makes me anxious. Thinking that once I told her everything she’ll slip away. And it’s even harder when I found out that Herman and Carlos’ group is planning of an attack against Lexis. So, for the mean time I told Lexis that I’ll leave. She assured me that she loves me. She made love to me, and I know that finally, she loves me back. Finally, I claimed her and she’s officially mine now, forever.“Are you seriously going alone, Alqamar?” Cristine asked me with her raising tone while I am packing my things. I already told Lexis about it and even she wants to know my real reason she still managed to keep herself silent. And I regret that I still need to keep this a secret. Maybe I was just really afraid that she would leave me if she found out the truth.“Yes. I know I can handle them better alone,” I said co
CHAPTER 118I tried to pursue her. Followed her wherever she goes. I wanted to be there for her. That’s why I tried so hard to be near her. I am sure that she’s smart and I didn’t know why she had a low score in her quiz but maybe fate is on my side that I took that chance to get her attention only to me, not with anyone but to me."I'm gonna schedule a tutorial for you so you'll understand-""No!" she cut me off when I tried to suggest that. I just want to help her or maybe I did have a secret intention, but I am serious that I want to help her. Our eyes met. I gave her a serious eye and she was just staring at me like she was in the middle of a deep thought about me. I sighed."What's wrong with that?" I asked. I really don’t get it. It’s more convenient to her."I'll just ask Ronald for it. You don't have to schedule anything," she said.My jaw clenched. I really hate how she’s gotten close
CHAPTER 117The next morning, I woke up early moving forward to the second day of class. I didn’t know that it will be more fun than what I expected. Already carrying my bag and other things when I saw Rael, Fin and Gray inside my house. My new house that I bought last week. I planned to stay here until I am still teaching at the school. I will just visit the village when weekends.“How did you all enter my house?” my brows furrowed while staring at the three who were sitting comfortably in my couch. These three has nothing to do with their lives.“You didn’t lock the doors,” Gray said. Rael smirked at me.“Your house is huge, we can stay here, right?” Rael’s twinkling eyes looked at me. I raised my brow at him, he noticed it that made him looked away.“Yeah right…we can’t,” he answered in his own question.“You’ll work?” Fin asked
CHAPTER 116I parked my car in the parking lot of the school. I sighed heavily when I saw the students coming inside the school. I can’t believe that I am here. I must be crazy. I looked at myself in the mirror before coming out of my car. I went straight at the faculty and checked my schedule. I unconsciously smiled when I saw that my first schedule is Lexis’ section.But my smile faded when I remember something. She’ll see me again. As her professor. Would she recognize me? What if she recognizes me and run for hill to hide from me? Because she’s scared? I gritted my teeth. I hope it won’t happen though. I would rather want her to not recognize me and remain to be a stranger to her. Goddamn it! Am I masochist?I sighed heavily and collected my things to attend my first class. I can feel everyone’s eyes on me. I am used to it but…they are college students. They should look at me with respect and not&helli
CHAPTER 115I can sense her presence now. I just saw her car arrived at her grandmother’s ancestral home. I watched her guided by her parents and her grandma who looks shocked of seeing her. I stared at her grandma. She looks familiar but I shrugged it off when I saw Cristine watching me. I stood up straight and looked away from Lexis’ direction.“I was right. You’re here,” she said and raised a brow at me. I ignore her and walk like nothing happened. I am going now to the village. It’s enough for me that I saw her safely arrived.“What do you need?” I asked when I felt her followed me.“Do you have plans? You know that Herman and Carlos are allies to bring you down, right?” She asked calmly. I sighed. I have plans but it’s not necessary to tell her anymore.“What are your plans? Make Lexis fall in love with you first and then tell her the truth and finally you&rs
CHAPTER 114After I send her home, I immediately washed myself. I feel like her puke is all over me. I closed my eyes as I felt the cold water dripped down my body. Watching her closer like that makes me insane. It’s been years since I last watched her close like that and she was just a young girl back then. Now that she’s and a grown woman I can’t help but to feel crazy over her.I woke up at dawn and the sun hasn’t risen yet when I drove myself towards San Isidro. I have a house in the city if ever I don’t want to go home yet or won’t be able to go back early. This province is an hour far away from the city. I parked the car in my usual place and walks towards the village.Everyone greeted me as soon as they saw me. I just nodded every time. I don’t have any plans today and I think I’ll go back in the city during Lexis’ graduation. I’ve never missed every celebration she has. I was alway
CHAPTER 113I woke up feeling awful the next day. My head is spinning like crazy. I don’t know but I felt cold. Damn! I am not usually like this. Maybe because I let myself in the rain yesterday? Well, wolves can also possibly catch a cold, but it will just pass by like before.I get up from the bed and changed my clothes before going out. Everyone made away for my arrival until I stopped in front of them, I saw my whole pack waiting for me to speak. I sighed and started to elaborate the things I wanted to say.“First of all, I wanted to compliment…Carlos’ group for guarding the boarders of this province, the other wolf pack wouldn’t have the chance to cross the island because of that,” I said and looked at Carlos and beside him is Herman. Carlos just nodded courteously at me. There’s a reason why I’d give that mission to him. So, that he will be far away from my pack while I’m investigating hi
