Nothing could be chillIer than the feeling of being watched. The hair on the back of her neck stood up and a numbing terror seized her senses. The terror grew when she felt hot air hitting her ear. Her eyes flung open. It was too dark to see anything clearly. She opened her mouth to scream but the intruder clamped his large hand over her mouth suppressing it. She twisted away and tried to get free but the attacker held her to place by snaking an arm around her waist and pulling her up to his chest. "Sssshh..it's just me" he whispered in her ear. She went still as a rock. He loosened his hold on her mouth. "What are you doing here?' she ground out the words. His gaze lazily roved over her face before he drew closer."You were doing that on purpose," his hot breath hit her lips as he remarked in a hoarse tone. "What?" she asked with furrowed brows. His lips tugged up into a hint of smirk. "You were dancing with that punk to make me jealous," he stated. She rolled her eyes. "You giv
"We will discuss more of it tomorrow," Martin glanced at his watch before sweeping his gaze through the crowd of students. He offered everyone an easy smile, causing girls to swoon over. "Now we will take questions" he encouraged the students. A girl rose her hand. Martin motioned for her to ask the question. The girl stood up. "Do you have a mate, Mr. Denver?" the girl leaned over her desk and asked while batting her lashes at him. " I can't see how it is pertinent to the lesson but to answer your question, no. I don't have a mate," he answered in an even tone. A slow smile played on the girl's lips as she sat back in her chair. Martin zoomed out on all the students and told them to leave as the class had ended. Everyone picked up their book and filed out the class one by one. The girls didn't forget to fling a smile at him before marching out the door. Sienna also collected her stuff and was about to leave when Denver stopped her. "Miss. Harrison, I would like to have a word with
Azriel leaned against the wall, staring at the door through which she had just left. "I swear this girl is driving me crazy," he muttered with a sigh and fished a cigarette out. He lit the mouth of the stick and flicked it between his lips. Smoking was strictly prohibited but when did he care about rules. "Sienna Harrison....Sienna Ledger," a smile swept across his face. Soon..Very soon he was going to complete this mate bond. The wait for her to turn 18 felt excruciating. He hadn't slept a single night wondering about the day when he will finally claim her as his. He was dying to explore her soft body and kiss her secret spots. His smile broadened as he remembered the night he had tasted her. There was nothing dull about her. His mate was perfect. It was good her birthday was around the corner. He would mate her but he wouldn't disclose their bond to the public. He still remembered how his mother was slit open just because she was the Luna Queen. The wound was still fresh. And the
Sienna frowned when she saw his message. "Not him again," she sighed out while dropping her shoulders.Azriel was behaving like a bipolar. She was tired of this constant pull and push. This stupid bond was not helping either. Why does she have to turn in a putty every time he touches her? Damn this bond.But was it really the bond? The time they had spent in the forest had changed her opinion of him. She had witnessed his softer side during the journey. His caring attitude and charming smile had caused a major shift in her heart even before he marked her.She was bearing the mark of her bully.She traded her shorts for a pair of jeans and headed out to meet him. The weather was chillier than usual. She dipped her hands in her jeans pocket and made her way toward the pond. She didn't want to meet him. She knew why he had asked her to. He was going to tell her off for talking back to Louis. It was because of her he had to fight him. The first ever rift in The Imperials. She was positi
"No one knows how and when magic was invented. Many speculations were made but most of them lacked ground," Denver used a mysterious tone. "Do you perhaps know anything about the heart-eating Witch?" she tried to keep it casual. Denver looked at her with an odd look in his eyes."I think I do," he smirked. There was something strange in his tone. She cleared her throat and masked away her curiosity. " What do you know?" she asked. "She is dangerous. Those who love their life should stay away from her," "Where is she?" she asked directly. "Who knows? Maybe she is on a hunt for another heart," he hinted in a hushed but chilling tone. Sienna felt a cold shudder passing down her spine. She glanced at her watch and got to her feet. Already an hour had passed. "Thank you for your time. I should go now," she stated and made her way towards the door. "Sienna," Denver stopped her. She remained rooted to her spot. He stepped around to face her. His gaze was keen. "You forgot this," he t
"What?" that's all her lips could manage to form. He had caught her by surprise with his unexpected confession. Instead of replying in words, he reached up and gripped her hands. She watched him in a daze as he brought her hands to his lips and placed a deep kiss on the back of her hands, looking intensely into her eyes. Her fragile heart fluttered crazily. "Fight me but never walk away from me,' his voice heavy with emotions. If she was tongue-tied before, now she was completely stunned. There was a vulnerability in his eyes. She had never seen a flicker of pain in those steely orbs before but today they were flooded with it. She pulled her hands from his hold and cupped his face. Her heart was aching with sympathy for this bully of hers."What's wrong?" she urged softly. Seeing him sad was making her sad too. "I feel lonely," he told her truthfully. Her heart broke into million pieces. He was surrounded by people all the time but he still felt lonely. He was lonely since his
"It is not safe to roam outside at such a late hour," A calm measured voice echoed in the dark hall. Sienna paused and turned around. Cornelia was standing in some distance. She had her weird smile on as she looked at her blood-stained dress. She had got some blood from Azriel's cloth. The way she was examining her, It was giving her chills. Sienna turned away from her and walked up the stairs without saying a word. "Brat," Cornelia mumbled under her breath as she watched her going up.Sienna jumped into her bed and closed her eyes. She was already tired so sleep came easy to her. A week had passed since that night. Sienna had requested Mr. Denver to teach her in the school library after school. She was not comfortable visiting him at his place. As the exams were approaching fast, she had to spend a lot of time with Denver. She also had not heard much from Azriel after that night. He was still ignoring her in the public."Do you have a boyfriend?" Denver asked all of a sudden.
The wind blew her soft silky hair in his face. Azriel breathed heavily in their sweet fruity scent. He scooted closer and firmly pressed his front to her back, removing all the gap between them. Unknown to his racing heartbeat, Sienna laughed heartily as the horse slashed through the wind. The adrenaline was coursing through her veins. She unconsciously leaned against his chest and felt the wind on her face."You enjoying it?" he asked her in her ear. She nodded her head vigorously. A grill pulled at his lips. He loved her this carefree, this happy. The way she was leaning on him, it showed her faith in him. He vowed to never break her trust. He pressed a kiss to her temple and pulled at the reign making the horse speed up. Sienna let out a shriek of excitement."My heart is still beating so hard," Sienna pressed a hand to her chest and flashed him a big grin. She was still not off her high. "Let me check," Azriel eagerly stepped closer, removed her hand, and pressed his own hand ag
