“You want to go to Professor D’Arcy’s office? Why?” Zayne frowned, stopping in his tracks and crossing his arm over his chest. “He said I should meet him there so we could go home together.” Layla explained, rubbing her sore shoulder. Professor Victor really had it out for her. Class ended almost thirteen minutes ago, but he had insisted she ran extra laps because she had finished last. “Home? Aren’t you returning to your dorm today?” Zayne asked, displease evident in his voice. “No, till tomorrow. There was a little problem, so the construction was delayed a bit.” “So you’re going to Professor Alaric’s house today?” He grunted. “Yes,” she nodded. “You’re sleeping over till tomorrow morning?” He growled, and she raised an eyebrow. “Um, yes?” She blinked. Why was Zayne asking strange questions? Of course she was going to sleep at Alaric’s house since she was staying there. Where else would she be? Was he expecting her not to sleep? “Can we go now? I don’t want to keep hi

“What?” Layla whispered; her eyes grew wide and her legs trembled as strength left her body.“I said, did you sleep with him?” Zayne questioned, emphasising his words.‘Is he accusing me, ME, of sleeping with Alaric? Because he bought clothes for me?’ Her chest grew tight and turned heavy, like someone had dropped an anvil inside.“You’re so disgusting! Is that what you see me as? A slut?” She yelled, blinking back her anger tears.“N-no… I didn’t mean…” He stuttered; his eyes widened, realising what he just said. “T-that’s not… what I meant. I-I didn’t m-mean you’re a slut. I… just asked—”“If I slept with him? Isn’t that the same thing?! Let go of me!” She screamed, pulling her arm, and he did. She stumbled back, leaning against the car so she wouldn’t crumble on her knees.“Layla, I—”“Just shut up! Ever since I came to this school, you’ve always been mean to me, and I don’t care what you think about me, but you’ve crossed the line. How could you say that? Alaric has been the only

“What? Slaughtered? As in killed?” Layla gasped, covering her mouth with her hands. The rebels? As in the rebels, which Eleanor was staying with and supporting, or was there a different rebel group everyone was talking about?“Duh, isn’t that what I said? Yes, killed.” Nyssa scoffed, rolling her eyes. “They slaughtered everyone without mercy. See!”“No, thank you.” Layla shielded her face with her hand, blocking her vision from the gory sight Nyssa wanted her to see. She had only gotten a glimpse of what was on her screen, and her dinner rushed to the back of her throat.“I swear those rebels are animals. Worse than the Zenzens. I wish they could all just drop dead right now. Low life scum!” Nyssa hissed and put her phone into her pocket as she walked beside Zayne. “Can you imagine what they did? They gutted the males and females but kidnapped the children. Who knows what they’re going to use them to do? I heard rumours that they were going to use them as ransom or train them to be s

°…The Moon Child shares a connection with vampires and werewolves. This is so because vampires and werewolves have special connections with the moon and moon goddess Selene, which the Moon Child embodies. Thus, the Moon Child always has a vampire and a werewolf protector.°°In the same vein, the Sun Child is connected to the creatures associated with the sun, which are faes and phoenixes. The Sun Child embodies the sun and the sun god, Sol, which the faes and phoenixes have special connections with. °°Chosen protectors are granted enormous power and strength to protect the Sun and Moon Child with their lives. They share a very special connection with them. This is akin to the mate bond in werewolves, but far stronger. They are bound to serve them as guardians and companions till the end of their mission. Once it is completed, the Sun and Moon Child can choose to loose the bonds between them and their protectors or take them as spouses.°°Love between—°‘Ok, I think I’ve read enough.’

“No, I’m not doing anymore. I want to die!” Layla groaned, stumbling to the shade of a nearby tree where they had kept their things. She sprawled on the grassy ground, and her chest heaved as she tried to catch her breath.Once she had taken her last bite of breakfast, Zayne had taken her to a secluded, grassy field to train. She had mentally prepared herself for whatever he had planned to throw at her, but nothing could have prepared her for the torture he had installed.‘Why did I agree to train with him? He’s worse than Prof. Victor.’ She thought, using her hand to fan herself. ‘At least we weren’t training under the hot sun. I’m under a shade, but it feels like my skin is cooking.’“Come on, you still have three more laps. Don’t be lazy.” Zayne hollered, jogging towards her, and she glared at him. More like she tried to glare at him. His body was distracting—too distracting. Even with his sleeveless tank top on, it drew her attention. The shirt clung to his body, accentuating his
