All Chapters of Rise and my Soulmate: Chapter 21 - Chapter 30

Currently, I am fixated on a woman who is fast asleep by my side. She even refuses to let go of the grip she has on the edge of the jacket I'm wearing, as if afraid I might leave her. Is the fear so strong that she's willing to be close to a man who made her uncomfortable just a little while ago? The same goes for what I'm feeling. Despite Aurel's prior request to stay away, I won't do it. I'll watch over her, be near her without her knowledge, beyond my plan to find out about our connection. I reach out, pulling her small waist closer. Outside, the rain pours heavily, accompanied by synchronized thunderbolts. My warm body temperature should make her comfortable, that's what I think. Her steady breaths drown out the noise outside. I was about to join Aurel in slumber, thinking I could rest for a while. But suddenly, something surges painfully within me. I open my eyes wide and sit up. I don't want to disturb Aurel's sleep, so I glance at her for a moment before moving away. I ente

I haven't even had the chance to meet Miss Brenda when Rex continues to drag me out of Grey's house. I don't know why he's so furious, maybe it's just because I hugged a guy, I wonder. "Rex, you're hurting me," I say, but no matter how many times I repeat that sentence, he seems to be deaf to it. He keeps dragging me until we reach his car parked not far from Grey's house. He forcefully pushes me into the car and slams the door shut, causing me to close my eyes in pain. He doesn't ease up during the drive either; he's focused on the road ahead. No matter how much I try to talk to him and ask for an explanation, Rex is determined not to answer. Finally, we arrive at our house. I see Aunt Anna, busy with some papers in her hands, looking surprised as Rex slams the car door shut."Hey, what's going on here?" Aunt Anna asks, looking at Rex's angry expression. He doesn't even answer his own mother's question, just walks up the stairs to the second floor. Aunt Anna then turns her attention

"Are you really planning to follow me all day?" I asked as Gray continued to match my steps, currently walking along the school corridor. Gray was indeed following me through two classes I was taking, without even taking a break."Like I said, I'm taking the same classes you are. I'm serious," he replied, and for some reason, he sounded incredibly annoying."At least handle it properly first and let Miss Brenda know. Don't make me the reason you don't want to go to your own class," I said without stopping my pace."Don't worry, I promise not to mention your name if I get into trouble. I'll handle it myself," he answered, making me stare at him for a moment."But this time I'm going to the club room. I don't have classes anymore, and I intend to practice with Maudy and the others," I said again, hoping to stop his ridiculous behavior, but it was in vain because he showed no fear at all."I'll be swimming," and this time, it was me who stopped and looked at him with raised eyebrows."Co

Once again, the pain strikes, and even worse, I'm experiencing this pain right in front of Aurel. I have no idea what she's thinking about me now. Thankfully, I managed to keep my composure, as any change in front of her would surely frighten her. I hope Aurel is okay. I then attempt to steady my heavy breathing.As it happened before, the signs of my transformation are returning. I observe my hand turning into a half-Wolf form, and just as I imagined, it only lasts a few minutes before I revert back to my own body, still feeling the pain. But that's not the only thing on my mind right now; my thoughts are fixated on Aurel. I fear she might distance herself further, maybe even come to hate me. As these thoughts cross my mind, Brenda approaches me."Are you going through it again?" Brenda asks. We're currently in the Neutral dimension, so I simply nod."Yes, just like before. It only lasts for a few moments before I return to my original form," I reply, trying to close my eyes briefly

I was genuinely surprised. I even stood up from my seat and looked at Aurel. This time, it wasn't just about my resurrection that I wanted to find out from the woman in front of me, but also about who she really was. She wasn't affected by my power to erase memories. She was completely immune to it. I immediately tried to hold her hand, believing that if she was truly human, I would be able to sense her blood flowing. I'd feel the fragility of her body. However, at this moment, Aurel's scent was so captivating, drawing me closer to her. I was now convinced that this resurrection had to do with Aurel, and what else could it mean?"Do you remember everything?" I asked to confirm, making Aurel nod."Yes, I remember everything. I remember the look of pain on your face. I remember how you disappeared suddenly in front of me," Aurel replied, making me even more certain that my power had no effect on her whatsoever."Do you want to try something?" I asked again, making Aurel fall silent befo
