Killian's POV “That’s interesting.” I rose to my feet and she followed suit. You could see the uncertainty in her eyes in the way she stared at me, she was nervous.I rolled my eyes, her heartbeat was picking up the more silence we stood in, it was quite embarrassing to watch.“You are the acting principal of this mysterious yet prestigious school, have some balls and act like it. If I was going to do any underground work here, it would override you, trust me.” Embarrassment beamed bright red on her face that I couldn't take seriously. Reading people easily made me regard them less. To date no one understood that was my power, the only ability I had harnessed out of the black out rage and the incredible strength that surpasses my time and age.I could use the heartbeat pattern to read someone's thoughts, whether it was directly or indirectly.“I am one who is qualified to stand behind this seat. While I'm sorry I did think out of proportion, it was only ever my job to worry about it
Katie's POV “That is your first pointer, wait for me in the school gymnasium, like the actual gym.”Hypnotism… I thought to myself as I closed the door firmly and walked to the gym. I was sure at this point I was the only student in the building and even if there were more, I didn't think they would be up to a reasonable amount, the peace in the halls made them not so scary anymore.“Katie??” A male voice rang out from a class I passed. My brain said ‘Ryan’ before I was even sure I heard the actual voice. I traced my steps back to the alchemy Lab, for some reason it was still open and a student was inside, not just any student, the star pupil and son of the alpha. He wore the most blue jeans I have ever seen along with a white T and Vans.“What are you still doing here?” He seemed pleasantly surprised and that was where I thought the whole butterfly works would go off in my body and it did. I may be avoiding him due to the unhealthy drama that surrounded our friendship but it still
Katie's POV “What?!” I looked side to side, my panic meter skyrocketed so bad it felt like I was going to throw up from fear and uncertainty. It was like being placed in a dark room with all your worst fears and you just happened to be your own savior.“I honestly think that you shouldn't have told me that, prof Evan…I can't see shit!”My neck snapped in the direction of a footstep but it may have not been him, it may have been my rapidly beating heart pumping blood through my ears and making me hear things that I shouldn't.“Prof Evan!” I was already panicking and I haven't even been touched or detected anything yet.In the midst of the chaos, I hear a sound like someone swallowing saliva and before I can turn to the sound, Lucy beats me to it.“Don’t!” I stopped half way. “Why?” I asked her, wondering if I looked stupid like this with my hand stretched out and my breath short as hell.“These a
Katie's POV “I have no idea to be honest, but good news, you have me all to yourself” I waved my hands in the air cheerleading style with an enthusiasm that was too fake to be true. He waved his hands in the air , mirroring my action, “Yay!!”It made me pause, tilting my head to the side as I tried to figure out since when he became sassy.“You know what sass is?” I asked, putting my hand on my waist, really expecting an answer of some sort.“Nah. I made Melissa teach me since I was going to start dealing with you a lot in the future.” He said with a straight tone that now it was hard to tell if that was also a sarcastic comment too or I was just reading too much into everything.“you lot a lot…” I murmured behind him as he turned to the door.“I heard that. Go get your stuff and meet me outside, we don't have forever.” He said to me as he walked out. My eyes stayed shamelessly fixed on his proper round butt that looked good in his blue office pants. I have noticed it before but thi
Katie's POV They both stayed silent, then he lit up.“Yeah, I almost forgot. I got you this, fuck it must be cold by now.” He took out a white plastic bag and gave it to me. I opened it and the smell of lasagna hit me before I used my eyes to see it. My belly grumble and my mouth water severe that I was sure he heard the former.“I know your eating Condition and thought I could get you something to eat instead of the remains from the day everyday. Eventually you would get sick of it. And made it.”At first, I was not completely sure I wanted to accept food from a woman who saw a 17 years old girl as a competition to her husband but I was too hungry to give a fuck.Consequences later… I thought to myself, folding it neatly and putting it in my bag so that Joanna didn't see it and ask questions that could land me in trouble.“Thank you. Thank you so much.” He shrugged. “That is the least I can do for you.” My hand was already by the door, I was going to leave and bade him goodnight
Killian's POV I headed to the elevator and dragged myself all the way to my apartment only to find Stephen seated by my front door.“Stephen, what are you doing here??” His head popped up from his phone which he was staring down at. His folded legs loosened and he was on his feet in a split second. My brain was too tired to think of how he did it, I was more worried about why he was at my place at 10 PM.“Thank God you are back, where the hell has your—sorry, I mean where is your phone—”“Please, not you too man. I have spent all day trying to convince Katie that I'm a good guy, please don't do that. You can talk to me like a friend, THAT YOU ARE.” I emphasized. Those words I would admit took a lot more strength from me than dragging myself from the parking lot all the way to my apartment.“Okay…” he replied awkwardly, “Your phone?” He asked again.I touched my pockets, searching for it before an image of it on the pas
Killain's POV“Tell me more.”“They say the essence of the Lucina wolf still lingers on the body. It is not much to have its healing power because apparently the wolf was violently removed from the body in the messiest way. My source tells me that he has never seen a wolf so drained out yet so stubborn. There is still a lot that I haven't figured out yet and a lot to figure out but first, we need to find that body. We need to lay our hands on it before anyone else does.” Stephen said. “It was the worst kind of detachment huh…” I repeated, trying to digest the information. “Yeah, that means it was taken by force. It is extremely illegal, wait—is it?” The look on his face said it all. He was seriously hoping it was. It was in moments like this that I got to really see how humans saw us. Even if we looked like them, spoke like them, went to schools, and did all of the casual things they did, they still thought of us deep down as savages.To relieve him of his mind ache, I nodded.“Of
“You took so long.” Ava’s body curved along the door post like the curves of a water pool slide. She smelt nice and her intentions were clear and straightforward for the first time in a while but I didn't give in.I think the right word to use was I ‘couldn't’ give in. I didn't have the strength in me to start what I knew I couldn't finish.“For a good reason. Had to discuss some really important things that affected the trajectory of my work.” I gently pushed her offer aside along with the malicious body she brought it in and entered into the house. It was the end of hours of the night before the morning and I haven't found a way to sleep a wink. Something tickles the back of my head as I realize I never heard my door close. I turned around to still find her standing where I left her, her back wasn't even turned in the right direction.“Ana…what are you still doing by the door? Come inside.” I used a more commanding tone at the end from a lesson I learnt with her a week ago. She was
