Chapter 89
Thinking about what happened just a few minutes ago, I wonder how I would be able to concentrate on getting the job done. Maybe I shouldn't have asked him about it. Then I would have had a more clear mind. Right now, all I can think about is what he said to me. But my steps keep closing near the library. Alex told me to wait behind one of the walls while he distracts Branson and brings him out of the library. He gave me the book beforehand to get in and open the door for the shelf which I can picture clearly in my mind.
The voice of Branson talking with Alex start fading away which means that they are walking away from the library. I take the opportunity and step inside the library. It's very quiet and there are no people around. We chose this time because it's the time the library opens, so no one would be around. Not yet. As per his plan, I have thirty minutes in my hand to do the job. I look around the library to search for the shelf that

Why? Why is this happening to me at this point? I think about the situation that happened a few minutes before as I walk upstairs to my dorm. I am tired. Tired of doing things which are not even my business. Can't the academy teachers handle it themselves? Why put pressure on us students? It's all Professor Sheila's fault. I shouldn't have trusted her in the first place. Maybe she set all this up and is now relaxing in her room while my friends are arguing with me.I step inside my room and Tessa comes to me. Her forehead creases as she observes me. "Where were you for so long? I was so worried! Can you not stay in your room for one second?" I don't reply and walk ahead to my bed, ignoring all the shouts and scolds coming from Tessa. I can't do this right now with Tessa. "And where is Alex? Did he leave early?" I don't say a word and just lie down on my bed, feeling blank and depressed. She sighs and sits beside me. "Please don't do things so

"Yes Miss Hemsworth. Feel free to voice your opinion." Professor Sheila says.I tug a strand of my hair behind my ear. I was never this scared before in my class lectures. But today,when so many potential minds have the attention towards me, then it's quite scary. " I do agree with your point. It is valid. We lost one of our friends. But I won't blame the academy for it. Neither will I blame anyone here other than me. The regret of not being able to save a friend even when you possibly could have is heavier than any burden in this world." I grit my teeth to not let those tears loose. I don't want to cry in front of the class. " But I do not agree with what you said after that. You said that we are the future of this mystical world. And that is the main point. We are the future. We will be the next ones in the line who would be shouldering the responsibility to protect our community and the human division. But how will we do that if we step aw

The sky looks dark, hidden with grey clouds that hide the sun. They match my inner self. Dark and depressed. I look at the black dress resting on my bed. It was a dress I thought I would be wearing at parties. It is decent enough so I chose it today. Never thought that I have to wear it like this.Tessa holds my shoulder. "Let's get ready." Her voice is soft and sad. I nod my head and start getting ready.I have known sadness, grief, and guilt. But losing someone. Never. The makeup lays bare in front of me. My fingers stop over the concealer. But they don't hold it. As if, telling me to lay all my emotions naked. Being perfect is a standard I have always gone for. Today I would change it. I would show the imperfections. Because they are the ones that make me more alive.Half an hour later, Tessa and I walk out of the doors of the academy building. More students walk out with us. There are

"A ball! Salty sugars!!!!!" Tessa jumps on the bed, the poor thing probably on the verge of breaking."Calm down girl. I already broke a piece of furniture and I don't want you to add up to that!" I say."Yippee!!!" She sits on the bed and looks at the card in her hand. The academy recently planned a ball party for us students to lighten up our moods. And even though it appears like just a party, it's probably a chance for the students to find their potential partners and share a dance with them. I already know who I want to go with. "Oh, Cinn! It'll be so much fun.""Look, who's saying. You weren't the ones into parties. I know what changed your mind. Or better to say, who." I strain on the 'who' which makes her blush like a tomato."But aren't you excited too? What if the Alpha asks you out for the dance, hun?" She wiggles her eyebrows, now making me the captiv

I hold the bedsheet and clutch it between the suppression of my fingers while my eyes stream down tears. It has almost made the bed wet. Tessa is in the auditorium hall, working in my place to manage everything. After she saw my condition,she tried soothing my nerves, but I was in no mood to go back to my usual self. She understood that and told me to rest while she handled it. I'm sorry Tessa, for judging you. I thought she has stopped liking me because she is with Peter. But I was so fucking wrong! She was there for me from the beginning and what was I doing? Judging her and her choices. I cry more, my hair strands thrown apart in the bed. Even Sia is silent and sad. I could feel Ash's pain when Tristian was saying those things to me.How could I do this to him? Maybe, Jessica was right. I don't deserve him. I am too much for him. He deserves a nice woman who won't—wont break his trust! Won't break it! Which I did! Even after he told

"Ugh!!!" I throw the last dress on the floor, frustrated by the less amount of choices I have. Why don't I have a good dress at all? Am I poor for now? After Peter told me about Tristian's past yesterday, he gave me an idea that can work. The ball is a great way for people to come together and if I can steal the show with my appearance then maybe I would be able to get close to him. But there is no good dress for that!"I think you should wear the dress you designed for me." Tessa says, putting the dresses back to their respective hangers."No, Tess. I made that for you.""But it's beautiful and you need it more right now!" She counters. She knows about Peter's plan because she is his girlfriend right now. And they together came up with the plan to go for a triple date at the ball. Yes, that is a thing too. Peter, Tessa and I. Like the sausage in the middle of the hot dog buns. It sounds so weir

I sit on the washroom floor and pull out my mask. Tears stream down my eyes like the dams of a river, probably messing with my makeup. I put so much more attention into it while doing it so that—so that when he sees me, he finds me beautiful. But right now, he has already moved on from me. So quickly. And that is no other than Jessica! My frustration would have been the same if it was any other woman, but still. I thought things were better between us after the incident. Yet nothing changed for her. She still has her eyes on him and now her wish has come true. While I...I weep on the floor reflecting on what a failure I am. I guess my dad was right. I am never good enough for anyone.I should go back to my home, apologize to him and take in the fate that I have. Atleast, it will be good enough if I marry some other Alpha and then show him in front of Tristian. He will understand the meaning of jealousy then. Yes! He will be so jealous!&

We step into the dance floor as per the plan. We stay close to them and I do my best to not look at him. Yet I can feel his stare on me. Breathe, breathe! Alex holds me by the shoulder and his other hand holds my hand. We start moving with the music slowly and get the grip of the dance."I can't be thankful enough to you. I can't imagine what you are going through or have been going through for so long." I say with every inch of genuineness in my voice."You are like this only, Aurora. You become tough in front of other people,but you forget to defend yourself when you are with your loved ones. It should be me thanking you. You were there for me from the beginning even though I was a man and someone opposite to your species type. I took the time to realise that you did so much for me and all I did was be selfish and take the essence of the friendship away from you. Yeah, it is tough, but love is all about sacrificin
