All Chapters of Bound by the vampire's temptation: Chapter 11 - Chapter 20

Raven I was in my coding class and, for some weird reason, my school didn't offer any AP computer science courses. Fortunately, living with Clarissa exposed me a lot to tech and ICT. So, this was a waste of time for me. When the Prof, an elderly female who looked like she would rather be anywhere else but here, pulled her canvas and began downloading a Word document for over 15 minutes, we sat in silence waiting for her. Without noticing that the file had finished downloading, she was busy with her phone. Someone tried to call her attention to it, but she rudely cut him short. "Are you going to teach me about my job?" She raised her yellow-coated eyeballs and gave an exhausted sigh. "You kids think you're smarter than us, the adults." It was obvious that she didn't care if she got fired as long as the money came in. Pathetic. We sat for a few more minutes, waiting for the so-called file to d******d while she made a phone call. "Oh," she raised her head. "I'm sorry, my computer i

Raven The sky was pitch black, except for a few twinkling stars scattered across the sky. The only sounds were from the crunching of leaves beneath my feet as I headed toward the dorm, clutching my backpack with one hand and shivering as a gust of chilly wind blew by. "I'll see you tomorrow," I said to William as I opened the gates slowly, the hinges creaking in the quiet of the night. "Are you sure we shouldn't have woken Vlad?" I asked him. "Well, perhaps he wants to read," he replied with nonchalance. Exhausted, I rubbed my eyes and felt fatigued in my body. Without warning, William hugged me, and with a smile on his face, he turned to leave. Feeling a bitter tang in my mouth while fiddling with the rope on my joggers, I groaned, wondering if I had made a mistake agreeing to be William's fake girlfriend. I crept inside, trying not to wake my sleeping dorm mates. One hugged a teddy bear tightly while another was snoring so loudly that the sound could make the floor beneath he

Vlad There were no words to quantify how angry I felt. The fury in my stomach fitted into tiny coils and stopped my wind. Raven shifted uncomfortably looking at me through her long lashes while the asshat, William, stood smugly with a thrust-out chest and an arrogant look. Raven's announcement shattered all my hopes. It was like a punch to the gut. I broke into a sweat and had a devilish urge to choke William's throat. Instead, I stared at Raven, waiting for her to tell me this was all a prank. I never noticed them being intimate and I wondered when they started dating. "Are you serious right now?" I snapped with a cold and exact tone. Raven nodded, not trusting herself to speak and William agreed by nodding his head vigorously. "Since when? I thought you were single." She sighed and shifted from foot to foot. William went pink with pleasure and a smile crossed his face as he intertwined his fingers with Raven's. "Well, I'm not anymore," she replied. She avoided looking me

Raven After evening classes, Taylor and I strode along the tree-lined pathway with our arms full of books as we headed to the dormitory. Students were scattered around the grassy area, chatting and laughing. "So, I was wondering why Nova is so popular and you are so chill and laid-back. You don't even act like the king's daughter," Taylor said, and my mind wrestled for a good answer. "I prefer my privacy. It's creepy to know that people watch my every move. " "Makes sense," she said after taking another sip from her soda, bouncing as she walked. "I kind of wish I had a sibling or two, you know?" she said quietly, and I felt a pang of guilt, knowing that my family was far from perfect. Walking into our hall, we heard a loud voice like a commotion, and the sound of a girl crying. "Oh, these stupid girls, they always fight all the time," Taylor said "Do you want us to go check this out?" Taylor rolled her eyes at my sudden interest in what was going on. Normally I hated doing anyt

Raven I was rushing to my next class, my backpack slung over my shoulder. The school bell rang, signaling the end of the break. I hurriedly descended the stairs, the multiple steps leading up and down filled with students rushing to their next class. "Oops, I'm sorry," I said politely as my backpack accidentally brushed against a girl. Tardiness was frowned upon by our chemistry teacher, Mr. Lawson, and I couldn't afford to be late to his class. Lost in the sea of students, I didn't realize when I reached the bottom of the stairs. Unaware of my surroundings, I failed to notice the foot extended in my path, causing me to stumble and fall to the floor. Before I could react, several hands gripped me from behind, tugging at my backpack. Confused and startled, I turned around, trying to face them. "Hey, what's going on?" I shouted, my words falling on deaf ears. Before I knew it, an intense burning sensation engulfed my eyes. The searing heat intensified rapidly, unmistakably the resu
