Semua Bab Awakening Prime: Bab 51 - Bab 60

Kylen was sitting slouched in the couch, his back almost parallel with the armchair and his shoulders and head pressed in the cushion that he should have been leaning against. His right knee jerked up and down as if it was seizing. I watched him sceptically, taking a sip of the tea that Vanessa had provided. In his hand was the phone that he hesitated to call his wife on. Was she really this bad? "Hmm, this is somewhat beneath you," I said to him softly, glancing over his weird position once more and yet on so many occasions, I was the childish one. "No," Kylen said, surprisingly disagreeing as he placed his hand over his face. I glanced towards Vanessa, who was stating towards the floor, deep in thought. She felt my gaze and flashed me a small smile. She turned towards Kylen and scratched at the back of her neck. "Taiti, why don't you give me a minute to talk to Kyle alone," she said with her fake reassuring smile while rubbing at her arm. What was she hiding? I hummed,

Sleep was damn near impossible and the lack of it left me agitated and very cranky. Vanessa had come to pick me up the next morning and drove me back to the Academy. Kylen's new home was a dwarfed version of his old one. It was about half a mile away from the city and a lot further from the academy. It took us about an hour to exit the city's morning traffic and 15 minutes to get to the Academy gates. It was another long wait for them to let me in and then personally escort me to the directors building. Then there was the even longer wait for him to come forth and judge thee. Simply to put it, being within the academy's walls did not set my frazzled nerves at ease. My impatience and frustration was slowly feeding my anger. Yet even that I could not do. I wasn't allowed to be angry because then they would see me as a threat and eliminate me. As if I wasn't going through enough already, maybe they'd be doing me a favour. Putting me out of my misery, allowing me to rest somewhat p

I had contemplated pushing her dramatically through the window and waving with those twinkling fingers as I watched her fall but my narcissist was short lived when I remembered that she could indeed fly. Her fear most definitely fueled her anger. One minute she was looking at me as if I had become this unimaginable horrific creature and the next second she was yelling insults, profanities and just being a bitch. "I am not afraid of you. I know what you are soon everyone else will see that you're just a manipulative slut witch who was sent here to stop Cassian from ascending into his primal form because you know the wolves will all become stronger," she said fiercely. I watched her feet as she took a step closer. I cleared my throat as a searing ache went through my head carrying with it a deafening ringing. "I don't know what you're talking about." My voice had returned to normal. The ringing subsided but the pain still stayed. Ugh, I needed to see him. "You

I have never been in love. I figured that it was something giddy that made you do stupid things. Maybe I was in love…what other than love would compel me to sit through two hours of watching two guys bash each others face in, when instead I was itching to go read a particular book that I had snuck out of the library because of its dark nature and my former accusations. Well, there were still rumours circulating. It was not like I was planning to actually implement anything that I would read. I only hope to expand my knowledge about something in particular that I was struggling with. I even had to encrypt my own thoughts because I believe that my new bodyguard was a telepath or at least a telepath adjacent. Yes, bodyguard. He was tall with brown hair and brown eyes and unnervingly quiet, which is how I came to my conclusion. I was on a magic ban for 2 months. I was struggling to accept that one but at least the director put a little trust in me to do it on my own, rather than give

Normal, or at least as normal as my nights usually were. Lying awake struggling to sleep as I fought against my own thoughts that always threatened to go to dark places that I knew that I would never come back from if I gave in. Suddenly a comforting presence hugged me and I unconsciously leaned into him. "Are you going to be alright," he whispered into my ear. I bit my lip, glancing into his dark eyes. It was strange how I could get lost in them. They were just so alluring and hypnotic. Whenever our eyes met I would instantly believe that we were alone in the world with no worries weighing us down. He felt right in every way…but sometimes I struggled to stay in the light because my mind liked to betray me. Conjuring up my fear, guilt and all the negative emotions that I held inside. That was one of the reasons why I felt as if I couldn't trust myself. I wasn't certain but at times I would feel a part of myself contradicting my every action or thought. I didn't know if it was r
