Nicole Jane’s POV“Let’s go to the mall!”“Yeah, exactly. Please!”Exam week has just ended. We had just finished our last exam, and as soon as we stepped out of the classroom, I was surprised to see these two mischievous princesses.I glanced at Kyle over my shoulder. His irritation was evident on his face. I wanted to laugh at his expression, but I held back.“Can we? It’s still early, and besides, we won’t stay out too late.”The two princesses gave him a puppy-eyed look. Kyle let out a deep sigh and glared at them. “Fine. But I’m coming with you.”“What?” they both shouted.I slapped my forehead. They’re always so stubborn. But then, I smiled as I suddenly remembered something.“Kyle, never mind. We can handle it. Besides, I was thinking of calling Gino so that we can hang out with him too.”That’s right. Since we’re already going out, it’s also an opportunity for me to spend time with my brother.Since he came back and introduced himself to me, we haven’t had a chance to bond. We
Kira’s POV“Is everything set for graduation next week?”I turned to Kyle before nodding. “Yes. We’ve already sent the invitations to the parents of CA students.”We are currently at the mansion. Finally, the grueling exams are over.Almost everything is in order. We’re just waiting for the day of graduation. Aside from that, in a few days, we will receive our grades for the final term.Although we don’t have the results yet, we already know who will go up on stage and be recognized and honored.Since we’re already leaving the academy, only Reiri and Miley will remain in charge of the student body. But before we leave for good, we will make sure that the vampires who will take our place can be relied on and trusted.It felt so happy, yet so sad. I feel like a part of me will be left behind when I leave here.But we will surely visit the academy from time to time. Someday, we will be the ones leading here in place of the current officials.The elders.“Okay, good. I’ll just go to the p
Kyle Ethan’s POV“I’m done. Shall we go?”My attention shifted to the suitcase she was holding, which was now closed.“Okay.” I turned to Steph, who had finished packing her things. “Steph, you may go ahead first. We’ll just follow.”Nicole frowned when she faced me. “Why won’t we go together?”I smirked and nodded at Steph. She quickly understood what I meant, so she hurriedly left the room.“What’s your problem this time, Kyle?” She placed her hands on her hips while glaring at me.I chuckled at her expression. Why does she still look beautiful even when she’s angry?I didn’t answer her. Instead, I pulled her with me and we both landed on her soft bed.“K-Kyle... What are you d-doing?”I smiled as I felt her heart beating strongly. Just like mine. From then until now, she still had that effect on me.“Will you not spoil the moment, babe? I just miss this. I miss being near you like this. I miss lying beside you while we were both talking about the future and stuff. I just miss you,”
Nicole Jane’s POV“Take my hand,” he commanded.I couldn’t make out his face. So, at first, I hesitated to reach out for his hand. But when I heard the familiar voice urging me from behind, I quickly reached for his outstretched hand.I didn’t know where we were going. All I knew was that we were by the seaside, surrounded by battles on both sides.“We shouldn’t run. We have to face them,” I shouted at him.He shook his head. “No! I won’t let them take you away from me again.” He grimaced. “Don’t worry. I’ll just make sure that you’re safe before I face them.” His every word carried a hint of threat, so I didn’t say anything else. Besides, I didn’t have the strength to object anymore.But I stopped abruptly when my knees suddenly weakened. I just couldn’t run any longer.“Nicole! Shit!” He quickly came to my side and carried me.I wanted to speak, but I was getting weaker. My vision was also blurring, and the blood continued to flow from my side.What the hell is happening to me? Is t
King Zach’s POVWe are currently here in the hall of the palace, having a meeting with the leader of the association of vampire hunters and protectors, as well as the Parkers.“So, do you really think that the plan will work? What if we failed? Don’t we have any other options?”All of us looked at Nick, the leader of the vampire hunters.I suddenly remember the day when we approached him to ask for help. He was hesitant at first and thought it was a trap for us to kill their kind. They are the Vampire Hunters, and there are no exceptions for them, even the aristocrat vampires and the purebloods if our kind poses any kind of threat.I suddenly felt relief when Kyle managed to explain everything to them. Although he said he wouldn’t do it to help us, but for the sake of humans. And we, on the other hand, understand that.“No worries. I assure you that it will work.”I leaned back in my seat and pondered. The events of the past should not be repeated.“Do the younger royalties know about
Nicole Jane’s POVA smiling Kyle Ethan Clarkson ascended the stage. And I know that at this moment, the people around us can’t help but be amazed by this changed guy in front of them.It’s also amazing how his dark aura from earlier had quickly turned into a bright glow.I looked at his parents, who were proudly staring at their son. I could see the joy on their faces, especially in their eyes. But everyone fell silent when he started to speak.“Before I start, I just want to take this opportunity to thank you all for choosing and believing in this academy. Today, we are all gathering to celebrate another milestone and achievement that we have reached. It has not been an easy journey. We have encountered numerous u-turns, obstacles, accidents, and bumps along the way. And yet, we managed to finish the drive and reach the end of the road.”We all stared at him. Everything falls into place. I just hope that we can all start our new lives as soon as we leave the academy.“But it doesn’t
Nicole Jane’s POV“Where are we going?”“Where are we going?”I looked at Hiro, who is currently shaking his head. Beside him is Reiri, then Miley— both of whom keep on chanting. Next to her is Kira— who just keeps on smiling while looking outside the car window. I leaned forward just to see their fingers intertwined.We are currently traveling towards the vacation house of the Clarkson family. We are all in the same van, following the van where our parents are. Behind us are several royal guards, protectors, and vampire hunters. We look like President’s family with a lot of bodyguards following us, and I totally hate the idea.I thought this getaway would be our private moment. But Uncle Zach doesn’t want to take any risks and wants to be prepared at all times.Suddenly, I felt a wave of sadness as I remembered Mikan. I wonder where she is now. I really wonder what happened to her after that fight.I rested my head on Kyle’s shoulder, who is busy listening to music on his phone.“It’
Kyle Ethan’s POV“So, what’s your next plan?” Gino asked.I smiled. “To marry her after college graduation.”I struggled to hold back my laughter as he suddenly choked. “What? Getting married right after college? You’re too fast, huh? Are you afraid someone will just snatch her away?” He grinned at me.I shook my head. “Nah, it’s not about that. We’re both headed in that direction anyway, so there’s no need to prolong it. If I could have married her right now, I would have done it.”He nodded approvingly. “You’re really head over heels, huh. Well, let’s see what Dad will say about that.”I fell silent. I had also been thinking about that. But I knew I wouldn’t have a hard time getting Uncle’s approval.“What are you willing to give for my sister to be happy?”We were currently on the veranda. I glanced at Nicole who was by the shore.Nicole was summoning a ball of poison in her hand, surrounded by a mixture of black and lilac colors.Meanwhile, Miley was simply watching her, hugging h
