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
Aidan was in his car driving ahead. I wanted to know more about them. Every time, I glanced at him, he just shook his head. I tried one more time. He chuckled. "My obstinate kid, you'll get to know everything after your eighteenth birthday." "But Drake would have told you about my little adventure in the dark?" I asked. His face creased with worry. It made him look more mature than a teenager. Though, he was the father of four adult kids. "Enjoy your school life, be happy. I don't know what destiny has in store for us." Particularly to me, I understand now what they are worried over, what is nagging my mother most? Emma died because of the curse that all I knew. Her mate couldn't save her. He died too. "Did she die because of the curse?" I asked. "No," I heard his voice changing with emotions. "Her death was the key to the dark realm for her. She died there, reversing the magic she caused years ago." I didn't ask him furth
I headed toward the cobblestone path. My feet were forwarding against my will. Darkice did not return to the class, not even his alphas-friends. I had no place to go for now. After gathering some of my belongings, I would call Aidan. Fingers crossed, he would help me. I paced in the house. The door was already opened. My mother got on her feet at my sight. Jasper was leaning against the chair of the dining table and his arms were crossed on his chest. Drake looked up at me from the book lying on his lap. "Sit with me, pumpkin." He patted the seat next to him. My mother smiled at me nervously. Did they argue before my arrival here? After a pause, I walked over to the couch and sat next to him. "Um, are you sending me home?" I asked him. "Yes, if you don't wanna stay here with me and Jasper. You can stay with Mother." Drake smiled at me. Jasper pushed him forward and strode ahead to take the seat next to me. "Only if you want. And
I stared at her with shock. When did she meet my mother? " Do you know her?" Instead, I asked her. "Yes, just this morning she came." She smiled fully. Are they friends? "Alright," I trailed off. It was quite unbelievable. My mother did things for me and expected the opposite from me. "Be easy on her. She has lost you once." Her green eyes stared afar over my shoulder. I glanced at her with confusion and followed her gaze. There was no one. What was she talking about? "I didn't understand you." I wasn't getting a thing. "You don't need to. Concentrate on your study." she motioned at me to follow her on the path where the boys went a few minutes ago. Drawing myself up, I hugged the book. I picked up my pace following her. Silver and Elizabeth used the same hallway to get into the house. "Do you live here?" I asked. "Yes, it's a packhouse." She gestured at rows of three rooms. "These are spare rooms." I have bee
I almost jumped out of my skin when I felt arms around me. My eyes searched my surroundings in the dark. I wasn't a wolf. I needed light. I pushed on his hard chest to get myself free from his stronghold. His arms kept me close to his warm and strong chest. I couldn't break the hold. I prolong my hand toward the switch. I kept my arm stretched out until I felt it and turned them on. My chin rose and my gaze locked with his amber gaze. He was looking at me with an expression on his face. "How dare you to be in my room. How dare you touch me!" I shouted in anger, tears pooled my eyes. The sight of him brought the pain back. His hold on me was firm. His scent worked on me. The pain, hurt vanished. The tears dried from my eyes. He withdrew his hand. "It's still night. Go to sleep." He ordered. It angered me more. "Get out of my room." "Not happening, mate. He looked out of the window and there was no light in the night. " Don't
