All Chapters of Taming The Reaper's Heir: Chapter 31 - Chapter 40

Narek's POVSeated in front of Nyx, I watched her struggle with the truth, unable to believe it as her reality. I couldn’t blame her though. When Ms Pendleton, Nyx’s aunt, opened up about Nyx’s true nature as a witch, I was quite doubtful myself and I had my reservations. But after what I saw yesterday, I knew there was something more to Nyx than she appeared.It was safe to say I underestimated her powers, until I saw it unfold with my eyes. If this discovery goes the way we imagine, then Nyx is going to need more than her powers to remain at Salvador Academy. If anyone else suspects she’s a hybrid, the authorities would flock the school like flies. “Why are you looking at me like that?” Nyx suddenly asked and I recoiled.“What do you mean?”“You made the face. The sorry face.” She arched her brows, her eyes searching deep.“Do you feel pity for me?.”“I don’t know what you’re talking about.” I waved her off. “Now can we get down to business? Today’s training is going to be a littl

Nyx’s POV Days went by, and it got increasingly awkward attending lessons with Narek. Unfortunately, there was no one to complain to. I couldn’t tell Aunt Garcia I wanted to stop just because I didn’t feel comfortable. I’d have to think of something else, but till then, the torture continues. The awkwardness in the room was so thick that it made bile rise up in my throat. I’d half-expected him to address what happened that day, but he’d just continue with the training like none of it happened. But it did. I couldn’t shove it out of my mind and pretend it was all a figment of my imagination, and I craved closure. I wanted to know why he pushed me away. I wanted to know why he kissed me back it the first place. Maybe the answers were obvious, but I wanted to hear it directly from the horse’s mouth. Knowing Narek, I wasn’t going to get the closure I wanted. That man was tougher to crack than an acorn. To think he was starting to come out of his shell before I let my hormones cloud m

Nyx's POV The next morning, I woke up to the annoying cries of the stupid bird that perched on Narin's window. It was different from the bird that Narin caused to disappear the other day but made just as much noise as the other bird did. It's coos were so loud and unnerving, I wondered why it should be the first sound one had to hear straight out of bed, every morning. I turned to Narin who looked like she was going to explode anytime soon. Her pillow was pressed tightly at the sides of her head to shield her ears from the bird's cries and her teeth gritted against the other in both frustration and annoyance. A sigh left my lips when I recalled Aunt Gacia, or rather, Miss Pendleton's punishment. Narin was never to use her magic for any reason for a whole week and that pisses her off so much. If not for the punishment, I was certain Narin must have created a whole different item out of the bird that was making blaring sounds by now with just a flick of her fingers. I picked my

Nyx's POV I let out a sinister smirk at the thought that crossed my mind. This was my chance, I could get back at my aunt by agreeing to Clyde's request.Besides, she doesn't seem to like my relationship with him and missing my training with Narek would rile her up the more.I wanted to get that reaction from her and so I agreed to meet up with Clyde."Sure, let's do it" I agreed. A satisfied grin appeared on Clyde face."Where are you off to again?" He requested trying to peek at the books in my hand. "The library, want to come too?" I returned his question.His face scrunched and he gagged dramatically, "Nah, I think I will pass. The library is for dorks and I won't be caught dead acting like one" I shot him a dangerous glare, "Are you indirectly calling me a nerd?" I asked in low tune, taking menacing steps towards him.Clyde immediately backed away, raising his hands in the air. A mischievous smirk on his features."Thank you Nyx. I will see you then" he uttered instead and hu

Otis's POV "Do I still need to remind you that you are only but a rejected mate?Rejected! Stop acting all possessive on me and stay off my lane" Nyx yelled in my face and walked out on me.I watched her retreating figure with mixed emotions, anger getting the best of me."How dare she!"I reminisced on Nyx's words carefully and realized that indeed I was being too lenient with her thereby going against my initial plans.I clenched my fist in rage, Nyx should be happy I decided to treat her better than I was when she joined this Academy as a newbie. Even when she was the one that rejected me and I vowed to make her regret her actions, I still made sure she was safe."How dare she remind me of the kind of relationship that existed between us? The way she yelled at me made it look like I was the fool, the clingy one.But not anymore, She prefers suffering than enjoying the free hands I am giving her on a platter of gold.I will grant her wishes, since the payment I get for caring abou
