Henry’s POV. I climbed into the car, feeling the weight of loneliness settling in. It's strange how being alone usually feels comforting, but today, it's just not the same. The reply she gave me at the hospital hit me hard. I was only trying to understand her feelings, and her response felt like a stab in the back. Today has been dragging on, each moment feeling heavier than the last. I can't help but think I'll regret every single decision I made. From turning her down to pushing myself on her, from walking into the hospital to asking about her, every step feels like a misstep. As I let out a soft breath, the loneliness wraps around me like a heavy blanket. Even my best friend seems to have drifted away to her. I can't shake off the feeling of how hard it's going to be to fall asleep tonight. The memories of the hospital and every scent I endured keep replaying in my mind, making the loneliness even more palpable. I started the car, and my heart skipped a beat when someone opene

"I'm dead serious. I freaking love you!!!" She screamed, causing me to step on the brake and the car to stop moving. With wide eyes, I turned to her, and she smiled wickedly before moving closer, and in that instant, her lips crashed onto mine. **** I couldn't believe what just happened. My heart was racing, my mind spinning with confusion. Xandra, my supposed sister, had just kissed me out of nowhere. It was like a bolt of lightning, electrifying and shocking. I pushed her away, my hands trembling with a mix of anger and disbelief. "What the heck, Xandra?" I shouted, my voice filled with a mix of frustration and hurt. "You're my sister! What were you thinking?" Xandra's response was not what I expected. Instead of apologizing or explaining herself, she burst into laughter. It was a laugh that sent chills down my spine, a laugh that seemed to come from a dark and twisted place. It echoed through the car, bouncing off the Glass like the cackle of a crazy witch. I couldn't comprehe

Niylah’s POV I couldn't help but feel consumed by thoughts of Henry. The rejection still lingered, and it seemed like the bond between us was unbreakable. Maybe it was just overthinking, or perhaps it was because he was the one who took my virginity. Whatever it was, I knew deep down that it wasn't the mate bond. I had promised myself that I would confront him tomorrow, and take legal action if necessary. And yet, here I was, standing in his house, maybe even inside his room. Who knows? As soon as he closed the door, a surge of determination washed over me. I couldn't believe I was still wearing the gown that had been stained with blood. It was a constant reminder of the pain and vulnerability I had experienced, I quickly took off the cloth and tossed it on the floor. Although it was my first time in his house, I couldn't ignore the familiar path leading to the bathroom. I turned to face it, hoping to find some solace in the running water. But just as I was about to take a step

I eye her going to Xendra's rooms. I don't know why I can't take my eyes off her body. I was surprised when she came out of the room putting on my favorite clothes. I still couldn't help but grin at my idea. I've sworn to myself, I would not glare at her when she's going back to my room. I don't want to induce any disarray. But I don't know why I'm groping desirous, with the thought of her going to Xandra’s room cause I knew she was only going there to ask about Alex. I don't know why he likes Alex cause even without her telling me, I knew she appreciates him which I badly despise. She's my mate and she belongs to me, I know I've rejected her but I still couldn't let go of her, don't know if it's the mate bond or if it was just my desire. My lust for her? I will make sure I find my answer tomorrow. I will go to my dad tomorrow, maybe he held some unfolds words to my mate bond cause I still couldn't understand why I could still feel the mate bond despite rejection or maybe i

It was time for my dad to reveal the secret about my mate when a sudden knock interrupted us. My mum entered the room, curious about our serious expressions. "What's going on? You both look deep in thought," she said, closing the door behind her. "Dad..." "It's nothing," I tried to speak, but my dad's serious tone stopped me. "The Alphas are waiting for you," my mum mentioned, looking intrigued. "I'll be down in a jiffy," he replied, and my mum left the room. "Son," my dad called, turning to me, "what you're feeling is beyond the mate bond. It's more powerful, and if your mate isn't by your side, it's dangerous... We'll talk more later in the evening; I have to go now," he said, patting my shoulder before leaving. I sat on the bed, trying to understand my dad's words. What did he mean by stronger than the mate bond? Is there a hidden story behind this? Looking at my watch, I saw it was almost 10. I quickly got ready; classes started at 10 AM. As I left the room and stepped int

My legs moved faster than I could pace, my heart beating faster with each step I took towards the block. Immediately I got there, I heard a loud scream, like someone punching the door, and it flew open. A student blew outside with blood gushing out of her lips. "The heck," I muttered, walking inside. I saw different students laying down on each other, and Xandra glared at each of them dangerously. "How did you..." I was unable to complete my words when I heard Niylah's frail voice, tears and sniffles audible. I walked toward her, bending to her level. She covered her body with her palms, her face smeared with bruises. She looked so pitiful, her hair rough, and the way she cried hurt my feelings. The notion of hugging her surged through my veins, my blood boiling with anger towards whoever came up with the idea of what just happened. "Are you okay?" Xandra asked, walking towards her and touching her shoulder. "I'm...I'm..." Niylah was unable to complete her words, all she kept doi

Niylah’s POV "Is today your birthday?" Henry asked again, but I could only stare at the door, wondering how Alex knew it was my birthday. I raised my gaze, and it met with Henry's eyes. I quickly looked away, avoiding eye contact. I wondered when he had started taking an interest in my daily life. "Is today your birthday, Niylah?" Liam's voice proclaimed, and I nodded gently. "Yes, today is my birthday." A gasp fell from Xandra's mouth. "But how on earth did Alex know about that?" Xandra asked. I raised my brow. "How did you know?" I asked Alex. He looked away, as if I had asked him a difficult question. "I just found out on your phone... your mom wished you an advance birthday," he replied. I nodded simply. "Are you sure Nova was the one behind all this?" Henry brought up. I nodded gently. "I see," he said, stroking his jaw with his palm as if thinking about something. He pulled out his phone, typed something I couldn't see, and then raised his head. "You caused the whole

Henry’s POV I stepped on the gas, my tires screeching as I sped out of the driveway. Anger coursed through my veins, my mind racing with thoughts of Nova and how she had hurt Niylah. I knew I had to confront her, but I also knew she wouldn't agree to meet me alone. That's why I had called Hilda, asking her to meet me at a nearby bar with Nova. As I arrived at the bar, I spotted Hilda and Nova waiting for me outside. I took a deep breath, trying to calm myself down before getting out of the car. Hilda smiled as I approached, but Nova just looked at me with a mixture of fear and defiance. "Hey, Henry," Hilda said, as I hugged her briefly. "Nova and I were just catching up." I raised an eyebrow, looking at Nova. "I'm sure you were," I said dryly. We went inside and grabbed a table, ordering a round of drinks. “Did you perhaps tell Ivory about our meet up” I asked with a raised brows "No, I didn't," she said, her eyes sparkling with curiosity. "But why did you want to meet me and

Nova's eyes widened in terror as she gazed around the dark room, her mind racing with fear. She struggled against the ropes binding her wrists and ankles, but they only seemed to tighten, cutting into her skin. Her breath came in short gasps, her chest heaving with panic. Memories of the previous night flooded her mind, he remembered Henry's angry face, the man who had dragged her away. She remembered trying to fight back, but her movements had been slow and clumsy, her senses dulled by the alcohol. She tried to speak, but her voice was barely a whisper, her throat dry with fear. The man of the previous night loomed over her, his face a blur in the dim light. Nova's eyes fixed on him, her pupils dilating with terror. "Where am I," she whispered, her voice trembling. "Let me go," she added her gaze searching around. But the man just laughed, the sound sending shivers down her spine. "Who are you?" she demanded. "Why have you brought me here?!!!" she shouted, her voice echoing off

Henry’s POV I sat down in bed, staring at my phone with a mix of emotions. My finger hovered over the screen, hesitating over what to do with the video. I had a change of heart, deciding not to delete it, but just as I did, the door swung open. My finger slipped, and I accidentally clicked delete. My eyes widened in shock as I realized what I had done. The video was gone. I turned to face the door, ready to lash out at whoever had interrupted me. But when I saw Niylah standing there with a plate of cake, my anger dissipated. "What are you doing here?" I asked, trying to sound calm. Niylah smiled and raised the plate. "I brought my birthday cake." I raised an eyebrow, confused. "You brought it here?" "Yeah, I did," Niylah replied, walking towards the bed. "You looked like an hungry lion when you entered, probably you were hungry." "I'm not hungry."I scoffed. "Well, I brought it anyway” she chuckled and drop the plate on the bed. "Do you think I deserve the cake?" I asked my
