Love And Lies Chapter Thirty Seven
The loud chatter quietened as Aunty Jules led me through the crowd of people which had split down the middle like Moses and the Red Sea. People fell silent or resorted to using low whispers instead as I walked past them. Somewhere in the crowd I noticed the girls and I noticed the encouraging smiles that they were giving me. Their smiles and encouragement made me feel more confident and more reassured that this was going to be fine.Yes, there was a large crowd, but technically, all I had to do was just lie there while the tattoo artist etched some symbols onto the base of my neck, right? That was all that I had to do, right? The more I tried to remember what the ceremony was actually like from the memory of having attended one once when I was much, much younger, the more the images of the event that day escaped me. No matter how hard I tried to remember that day, I just couldn't.I had to guess that it was because it was incredibly boring that I couldn't actually remember much about
Love And Lies Chapter Thirty Eight
I flinched at the fury that was in Maria's voice. The woman was usually very calm and very rarely raised her voice but she sure was terrifying when she was genuinely angry about something. This occasion was certainly one of them and I knew exactly why she was so angry. Someone had spilled the beans and told her the truth.'Skylar' had been a very secretive name that only Maria had ever used. Kalani meant 'sky' and I wasn't entirely sure how it had happened but instead of calling me 'Kalani', 'Little Sky' or 'Kai', Maria had become adapted in calling me 'Skylar'. It was a very individual name between Maria and I so I wasn't all that concerned about anyone else being able to work out who she was talking about from that shout. What I was concerned about was getting out of this room alive if Maria found out that I was in here.I could hear Aunty Jules bolting out of her chair and warned Maria to keep her voice down. The main door shut firmly and I could hear shuffling in the other room so
Love And Lies Chapter Thirty Nine
He barely managed to block my punch and surprise flashed through his eyes as he stumbled sideways a few paces from the impact of my next attack which was a roundhouse kick. I stared at him for few moments in fury when I realised that he wasn't going to defend himself anymore from my attacks and somehow that just made me even angrier.The next attack sent him flying out of the door just as Rosette and Ali walked in and Ali barely had enough time to tug Rosette out of harm's way. Crispin crumbled against the wall and he slowly picked himself back up. There was a gaze in his eyes. A gaze that I couldn't stand to see.It was a gleam that spoke of volumes of duty. The duty of letting me do what I wanted because of who I was, because I was the Ivashkov Princess. In terms of titles, Crispin was nothing but a mere guard and it seemed that in his eyes, I could beat him to a complete pulp and he wouldn't even contemplate on defending himself because I was of higher status than he was."This! Th

"You really are back…" he whispered and buried his face into the crook of my neck.His arms wrapped around me tightly and I was pulled into an almost suffocating hug. I squealed in response as I was squashed against him and for several moments, I simply sat there awkwardly, waiting for him to pull away.Eventually, he did and he held me at arm's length so that he could inspect me again."Ali, it's been a whole week already…""I know, little sky. I know. But that doesn't make this any easier to accept," he sighed. "You're the same person, but at the same time, I feel like I don't know who you are. I've missed out on so much. I've missed out on you growing up, Kalster and that makes things difficult. Sometimes, I don't know how I should act or behave. I still feel like you're the same kid from back then and I just react based on what I remember of you, but you're much stronger than that now, aren't you? Much, much stronger.""I'm sorry for changing, Ali.""Don't be. It's not your fault.
Love And Lies Chapter Forty One
"My… my house?" I choked out."Yes, little sky, your house." Ali nodded hesitantly and I could tell that he was watching me as my expression faltered and crumbled to complete distress.Memories of six years ago flooded my mind instantly and I knew exactly what he had meant. He had meant that we could use the house that I used to live in. The house that I used to live in with my now deceased parents. If I went back there, I knew that memories of how life used to be back then would consume me and I would probably break down into a total mess the same way that I had done on the first day that I was back at the Academy after having had the talk with Martin in his office.I wasn't sure if I could handle another break down again so soon. I hadn't even considered the idea, the possibility, that they had kept my parents' house empty. I would have thought that after such a long time they would have remodelled it to cater for other visitors or royals in this school. I hadn't once thought about

"You didn't get into trouble with the Headmaster already, did you?" a familiar voice commented in amusement from behind me and I whirled around in surprise.Well speak of the devil. I had been so absorbed in my own thoughts that I didn't even notice him approach me."Why do you ask?" I frowned, wondering why he would ask such a thing."Apparently you were being escorted by Jenson and Maxwell to his office earlier. You didn't answer my question.""I'm not in trouble. He just had something that he wanted to ask me.""Oh really? It's not that usual for the Headmaster to need to personally ask a student something.""It wasn't really anything that serious. He just wanted to make sure that honestly nothing happened during that little trip of ours.""That was it?""I might be a trouble maker, Ozera, but even I won't be stupid enough to do something too serious so soon. Not if I want to have any chances of staying at this place long term.""I've been meaning to ask, but you seem to be quite c

"What do you mean by that?" I nearly screamed."It is almost impossible to keep someone like you a secret, Kai. It was only a matter of time before talk about you reached the ears of the court.""But why?" I ran my hands through my hair. "Why would they care?""If you were merely a student who excelled in combat, usually it wouldn't stir up this much interest, but you are much more than that, especially after today when talk of how many marks you have received reaches court.""Again, why does it matter?""Because you are the dhampir that was found by chance in the city having had no real training as a guardian-to-be and yet you have taken down more Strigoi than many fully fledged guardians twice your age. Within days you had built up a powerful reputation for yourself here at the Academy, but by now, you have a reputation amongst the royal court, Kai. The number of calls that I've received asking about you has been rising like the tide ever since this morning when you guys got back."
Love And Lies Chapter Forty Four
"You know, guys, four against one really isn't terribly fair." I called out casually as I stepped out of the shadows and approached them.All four sets of eyes immediately landed on me and the Moroi smiled lustfully at me. His bright green eyes seemed to shine in the slightly darkness in the shadow of the trees and I had a sneaking suspicion that he might have been trying to charm me but it wasn't working one bit. I simply brushed his lustful smile aside. It wasn't anything I hadn't seen directed at me before, especially since I worked at a club for the past two years and this guy's smile was nothing like the intense one that Eric was capable of giving.I stepped up to the passed out dhampir and crouched down to have a good look at him. I grabbed him by the scruff of the neck and poked his face a few times. He was out for the count good and proper and I grinned up at Christian. "You knocked him out good." I commented."He was asking for it," he scoffed. There was confusion in his eyes
