Branson stiffens abd straughtsns his specs. "What favour?"
I smile,"You see, one of my friends here is a warlock and got rejected by the academy Proffesors. Now I am concerned for him because he's been given an ultimatum and needs to win some bi weekly contest to remain in the academy. So, I was thinking if you could help him train and qualify the contest?"
Branson opens his mouth and then closes it. His brown stare blankly at me. "That's impossible! P-please don't get me involved into all of this." He scurries away towards the shelves and I run behind him.
"But why not?"
He runs faster and starts arranging the books on the shelves. "I'm not allowed to do thay. I'm not some Proffesor who can train your friend. If the Headmaster comes to know of it then…" his eyes wander to the space and he inhales deeply.
"What if he doesn't come to know? You can te
"Who's there?"Silence. No sound. I walk ahead to check if anybody's thete or not but find no one.I fee scared. God, what is happening in this place."Aurora!""What are you doing here? " says Alex."Uh,I... there…""Never mind. Maybe it was just a stupid vision. What are you doing here?""I es looking for you. Tessa told me about your plan to meet in the common room. I went there and didn't fing you. So I thought to look outside. And here you are.""Yeah. Okay, let's go."We walk inside the Academy and step inside the common room."Cinn! Here!" Tessa calls me. We walk towards her and sit on the group of chairs. Luckily, there's not many people around in the room. 
"But what about the people who want to live and do dream of a happy life?" I ask, flabbergasted by the recent revelation. It's not that I am worried about myself. I always had a feeling that I my rebelling for becoming something that's against the wererolves society norms will take sacrifice and dangers. And I'm willing to die than live a life of torture and pain. But what about Tessa and Alex…What have I led them into?"This Academy is certainly not for them." Peter speaks up, "But think about it. We're born as mystical creatures and the world out there lingering with despicable powers beyond your imagination. Don't you think it's our duty to save the humans from them?" He adds and Tessa stares at him for a long time."But...what if you are...not that capable?" Alex speaks and I face him. He looks down at the floor, his fingers twirling with each other. I hold his shoulder and he looks up at
Where should I hide my face? I wish the earth could eate up right now. I look sideways, trying my best to avoid the scrutinizing glares of Tessa and Alex. Crap! I'm so done! Why did I not re check about what I was suggesting? What's wrong with me?"You sure about that? Because we heard from someone that you're a powerful warlock." Alex says, while his eyes remain trained at me. Moon goddess,save me!Branson turns towards me and furrows his eyebrows."I...umm… I'm so what you think. I'm sorry." He straightens his glasses and gets back to his paperwork. Enough!I turn towards him and slam the table with my palm. Which hurts but nonetheless, I git his attention. He looks up at me, completely startled. "You didn't tell me that,now did you? You're a warlock, right? As far as I remember when I asked about it, you didn't exactly deny the information that you're a warlock. So w
I frown and sit beside her."The head librarian needs someone to look after the library, right?" Tessa asks."Yeah. So?""So…" she whispers into my ear and my frown soon fades away abd replaces with a mischievous smile."Tessa Stone! You're a genius!" I grin and hug my bestie who's supposedly got a mind-blowing idea that'll kill two sparrows with one arrow. We just need to wait to execute it.The next day, we both get ready and walk towards our first class which is fortunately Professor Harold's class. As perceived, the two walk into the class and Tessa and I wave at them. And literally sends shock waves to
"Salty sugars! Such a nerve of him." Tessa balled her right fist in the air and snarled."Calm down. I guess he suspected that we're lying or hiding something. That's why he said it. We underestimated them." I sigh."What do we,now? If he learns that Alex is getting taught by Branson in some secret place, then?" Tessa asks."I don't know. I'm worried about this too." I hold my hips and look around the corridor. We don't have much time until our next class starts. So I need to think of something quick. "Alright, listen. My mind is not working right now but until I figure out something, don't tell anything about it to Branson or Alex. Branson will freak out and Alex will end up packing his suitcase or who knows,worse! We can't take any risks right now." I say."But we should inform Alex, Cinn. You remember how he acted when he learnt that we kept so much away from
Act cool. Act cool."Oh." I reply, a little more chirpily. Damn my drama club skills."And…he seems to be quite catching the cold." He says and relief floods through me. "Though, it's weird that he caught such cold in this weather, especially when he mostly stays indoors." Tristian's eyes narrow at me. I'm dead."Yeah. Poor soul." I look away from him and nod my head faking sadness."Let's order something." Peter says."You guys eat, I'll leave." Alex says out of the blue and before I can call him, he walks out of the cafeteria. What happened to him? I notice Tristian looking at him too.The waiter arrives and we give our orders."Can we just take our food with us?" I ask Tessa through the mind link."Hmm." Comes her reply. What's that supposed to mean? Wh
I sigh. Professor Sheila looks at me sympathetically. The thing I hate the most. "It's alright, Aurora. You'll learn eventually." She pats my shoulder and gives a warm smile."Yeah, thanks Professor." I mumble in the hope that she hears it without me making any effort. Because if I let my voice get any louder, the entire class will hear my choking voice. Controlling my tears from descending already takes a lot. I walk back to the crowd, hearing the muffled laughter of some students. They're surely making fun of me.You're totally unworthy! Shame on you!"Hey." Tessa holds my shoulder, "Don't push yourself." She rubs my back while I look at the checked stone floor.How am I supposed to be a Luna and bring about revolution for the female wolves in my pack? How did Luna Cassandra do it? Lady Cassandra Crescent is the Queen of the Crescent royal bloodline. The only female
I thought that confusion is only confined to solving math problems. Now, I know that compared to Tristian's antics, it's nothing."What are you doing here?" I sigh and look at the quiet lake. At least I have something to keep my mind calm.He stands beside me, " Nothing. Just saw you standing here like Buddha so thought to accompany you."I roll my eyes. Why does he keep coming back when I'm alone? "So, you're telling me that it has nothing to do with you stalking me?" I turn at him and cross my arms over my chest, giving him 'the glare'.He chuckles, "Don't praise yourself too much Barbie doll. I'm just here to enjoy the serenity of the lake." He moves his arms dramatically towards the lake."Really?" I arch a brow, "Then how come you are here when I decided to be at this place?""Oh,come on." He smiles, "It'
