I was pulled out of my room early this morning. I didn't completely hate it but I also didn't like it. The gym wasn't my thing, sleeping late, staying in bed that was perfect for Sunday. "Come, sleepy head." Jace chuckled, gripping my arm as he pulled me out of the house. "It's too cold at this time." I stared at him with annoyance, hoping it would work and he let me go back to my comfortable zone. "Get used to it. It's not different from our hometown's weather." He said over his shoulder, after finding his mate, he looked different in a good way. Happiness could be seen from afar. "But I wanna stay in my room before my classes start." I pulled my arm back. My eyes were closed. I wanted sleep to engulf me so my stubborn brother could leave me alone. He shook his head as I cracked my eye open. He pushed me toward the treadmill and pressed the button. "I hate you, Jace." I hit him. My palm landed on his elbow. "Stop being dramatic, Kidd
I curled my hand around my backpack. Rhi packed me cheese sandwiches. I denied her but mother placed them in my bag. I was nervous. I would be alone. There would be no guard if anyone thought to bully me. "Nervous?" Dad asked. "Um, a little." I glanced out as our car entered the academy. Henry pulled into the parking lot. "If you don't wanna stay here. Call your mother, she'll send someone to pick you up." "Will do." I turned to the handle. "Good luck with your project." "Thanks, my doll." I got out of the car. Sometimes I saw a strange kind of pain in his eyes. It was clear from the conversation with Mother that I wasn't cursed and I wasn't going to die. Then what was troubling my family? I know all this is related to one person, Emersyn Nelson Dawson. I need to dig for information about her. What could be a better place than this academy where she was a student. In my old school, they kept records of all students. I wasn't certain. I
My eyes roamed over all the laughing faces. There was one boy who wasn't laughing but looking at me with sympathy. He was alone at his desk. I felt bad for him more than myself. The laughing faces were in Grace's team, including vampire . I wouldn't mind counting that boy, Sisily, and professor in my team. Concern was etched on her forehead."¿Tienes un deseo de muerte?" Professor snapped. It shut all the laughing mouths. I know a few words in Spanish, but not this much. I elbowed Sisily to know what she said. She shrugged her shoulders. "Mrs. Carla Quarles is their mother. It's obvious she would resemble her. You'll read about the King and Queen in your third year. Now open page number twenty-six of your history book." Professor said in her scolding tone. I waited for anyone to question her again. I felt disappointed. There was no point in resisting and waiting for someone to question her. I grabbed the book and opened it. The second class was b
I was tired when I returned from my classes. If I removed Grace from my day. It was the best. Though, Darkice confused me more. He explained his reason later in the locker room. Though, he didn't need to. A rap came on the door and it creaked open. "Hi, Kiddo. Are you up?" Jasper asked me. I turned on my back and smiled at him. "Is Mother here to take me?" I asked. He shook his head. "Talk to her. Then, come down the stairs." He motioned at my phone resting on the desk. Prolonging my hand, I grabbed it and saw several calls and messages from my family. Exiting, I clicked on her number and hoisted it up. "Hello, Mother." "How was your first day?" The question brought many memories from today. "Rollercoaster!" I giggled. I heard her chuckle softly. "I got it. But I'm always here for you.'' " No doubt," "Well, I'm going to attend a fashion show with my beloved sister in Milan. Should I send the driver?"
He came into the class with a wide grin on his face. Sisily arched her eyebrows at me. I shrugged my shoulders. He sat on the desk behind us, "It was a phone call from my mother. She's the only good person. I love her." His smile didn't disappear. First-year students aren't allowed to keep their phones. I relaxed when I heard him. "Everyone loves their mother." I told him, matching his grin. "I don't know. I never knew the love of the parent. But I love my grandpa and Daniel. They are my family." Her smile was matching ours but I couldn't neglect the pain and sadness in her eyes. "My mother is gonna love you." I told her. She nibbled on her lower lip. "I'm nervous. Jace hasn't talked to Carla and Charles yet." "You shouldn't worry about it. They're gonna love you." My gaze was turning to the door. The professor hasn't come yet. She drew her face closer. "You ain't getting it. I'm six years older than him." I sno
There were details about everyone in the MegaHis but nothing about his dark world and the king. I had checked all my books. The door to my room opened. I didn't need to know who walked in uninvited. "Good, you're awake. Come downstairs." My mother said. I thought she was going to stay with her sister but here she was. "I'm staying at Mother's place. I'll dine with her." I told her as I turned the page. My eyes darted on the words. King Aragon was a power cold one with the power that no one could match. Abruptly, the book was yanked away from my hands and shut with a bang. "Can't you forget that, princess? Lo siento." She muttered the last words and I couldn't get it. "Why don't you leave me alone? So I could decide it for myself." I told her. "Look at me while talking to me. I am understanding… " "No, you don't understand a thing. You always want to control my life. I can't even choose my friends." "That's not true
I grabbed my backpack. I wasn't frightened to be out. It was day and no dark could be seen anywhere. It's safe in daytime I headed downstairs in the hall. My feet staggered but I gripped the railing. Six members of the alphas were seated on the couch and looking at me. "Hi, Ember. I have heard you have information about our lost friend." Carlos smiled but there was no humor in his tone. "Hi, " I replied in my meek voice. "Why don't you tell us from the beginning," Alessandro said, motioning at the couch. Did this guy just order me? My eyes lifted to my brothers. I wasn't certain he wouldn't have told them. I gulped. "Queen Reina will be back in the academy ASAP," Carlos said, offering a soft smile. I tried to smile back, but it felt like I was favoring him. "You can trust us," Edward said. I chuckled. "It seems weird hearing it from you." Carlos laughed but he pretended to cough, feeling his friend
After an hour of driving, Aidan pulled the car in front of the door. Getting out it, I punched the code that Dad had given me. The door opened. I walked around the car. There were roses, Basil, herbs, and all kinds of strong scents that could block my scent. I didn't want them to find me out. My phone was also switched off. I got in the car and he drove it inside. The door locked behind us automatically. "They might be thinking we are in love and we eloped." He chuckled. I giggled. "They're going to kill you then. Better you run away." I told him laughing. His smile dropped. "I couldn't leave you alone. That's what friends do. " He scanned the garden and pulled the car in front of the double wooden door. "If Dad has sent me here. I'm safe." I told him. "We are not from the normal world. These expensive security systems couldn't save you from the danger of living in our world. Anyone could attack you!" He was looking damn
