Otis's POVMy blood boiled with anger as I walked through the woods in the dark of the night, relying on my wolf vision to guide my path. I couldn’t believe that Narek Carne dude had the guts to punish my Nyx Uren.Only I had the right to punish her. Now it made sense why I never liked him since the first day he introduced himself as the new Morphology teacher. I had to be sure he didn’t miss his way to some modelling show because he sure wasn’t dressed like a teacher. Dude looked like he was off to a show, but unfortunately, he was right. He was the new teacher.Whenever I see him, all I want to do is punch that smug smirk on his lips when stupid bimbos shamelessly swoon over him. I wonder why the board would allow such a young, inexperienced teacher into our prestigious school. How could they trust that he was even teaching us the right thing? With how young he was, did he even finish grad school?What made me always want to gag was how he thought he was so awesome. That haughty l
Nyx POV“Ugh, this is infuriating!” Narin screamed in frustration. “It’s been just a day since I last used my powers and it feels like forever.”“I’m sorry, Narin.” Came my reply as I watched her pace about in the room from where I was seated on my vanity dresser. “Don’t be.” She huffed, plopping on her bed.“It’s not like it’s your fault or anything.”“But it sort of is…” I sighed, running a brush through my platinum curls as I reluctantly prepared for my class with Narek.“Well, since you’re so generous to take the blame, then yeah. It is your fault.” She narrowed her eyes on me. “Now what are you going to do about it?”“Um…” I stuttered, feeling the air growing more uncomfortable. “I dunno…was just trying to sympathize I guess.”Narin scoffed. “Like you don’t have your own problems to worry about.”“Ugh, you’re right.” I shuddered, allowing the memories of the day before to flood my mind. All thanks to Aunt Garcia, I have to go to Narek everyday for my training even though every c
Narek's POVSeated in front of Nyx, I watched her struggle with the truth, unable to believe it as her reality. I couldn’t blame her though. When Ms Pendleton, Nyx’s aunt, opened up about Nyx’s true nature as a witch, I was quite doubtful myself and I had my reservations. But after what I saw yesterday, I knew there was something more to Nyx than she appeared.It was safe to say I underestimated her powers, until I saw it unfold with my eyes. If this discovery goes the way we imagine, then Nyx is going to need more than her powers to remain at Salvador Academy. If anyone else suspects she’s a hybrid, the authorities would flock the school like flies. “Why are you looking at me like that?” Nyx suddenly asked and I recoiled.“What do you mean?”“You made the face. The sorry face.” She arched her brows, her eyes searching deep.“Do you feel pity for me?.”“I don’t know what you’re talking about.” I waved her off. “Now can we get down to business? Today’s training is going to be a littl
Chapter 30Nyx POVI had no idea what came over me, but one moment I was staring into Narek’s eyes, watching him as he pronounced the words in the spell and the next I felt a warm sensation flood my chest. Narek looked…different.He always had this hard exterior whenever I was around, but the way he taught me seemed real. Like he was finally being himself. Like he had finally let down his guard. His shoulders were less tense, his eyes were softer and even his forehead had lost its frown wrinkles.Then his lips…There was something about the way his lips moved that was so…mesmerizing. “Got it?” Narek asked me, after making the right pronunciation of the spell and I nodded, even though I wasn’t sure I’d gotten it entirely. I was just so distracted by how close he was to me. His face was so close to me and I realized that I didn’t think much about how he looked until that moment.I knew he was good-looking, alright. But I couldn't get past his shitty attitude towards me, but now that h
Nyx’s POV Days went by, and it got increasingly awkward attending lessons with Narek. Unfortunately, there was no one to complain to. I couldn’t tell Aunt Garcia I wanted to stop just because I didn’t feel comfortable. I’d have to think of something else, but till then, the torture continues. The awkwardness in the room was so thick that it made bile rise up in my throat. I’d half-expected him to address what happened that day, but he’d just continue with the training like none of it happened. But it did. I couldn’t shove it out of my mind and pretend it was all a figment of my imagination, and I craved closure. I wanted to know why he pushed me away. I wanted to know why he kissed me back it the first place. Maybe the answers were obvious, but I wanted to hear it directly from the horse’s mouth. Knowing Narek, I wasn’t going to get the closure I wanted. That man was tougher to crack than an acorn. To think he was starting to come out of his shell before I let my hormones cloud m
Nyx's POV I felt all the blood in my face drain in seconds, I was suddenly pallid and was just staring back at those eyes in the woods. Then suddenly, whomever it was that those pair of red eyes belonged to turned away from me and disappeared into thin air. I staggered backwards, gasping violently for air. I had been terrified that I forgot how to breath. "What creature was that anyway?" I asked rhetorically, looking around in horror. "I better get out of here" I muttered within myself and began hurrying out of the bush, my heart palpitating in trepidation. I heard the leaves ruffle again and increased my pace. For all I know, the creature might still be lurking about and the worst thing I would do is to stop or even slow down in the middle of nowhere. "What if it is a rogue? I'm certain it wouldn't waste a second in tearing me apart and as expected, I will be too weak to fight back" The thought of being shredded, limbs to limbs freaked me out. My hurried strides broke into
Nyx's POV The next morning, I woke up to the annoying cries of the stupid bird that perched on Narin's window. It was different from the bird that Narin caused to disappear the other day but made just as much noise as the other bird did. It's coos were so loud and unnerving, I wondered why it should be the first sound one had to hear straight out of bed, every morning. I turned to Narin who looked like she was going to explode anytime soon. Her pillow was pressed tightly at the sides of her head to shield her ears from the bird's cries and her teeth gritted against the other in both frustration and annoyance. A sigh left my lips when I recalled Aunt Gacia, or rather, Miss Pendleton's punishment. Narin was never to use her magic for any reason for a whole week and that pisses her off so much. If not for the punishment, I was certain Narin must have created a whole different item out of the bird that was making blaring sounds by now with just a flick of her fingers. I picked my
Chapter 36 Nyx's POV Paying rapt attention to Narek as he taught was a much more herculean task than I imagined. My mind kept diverting from time to time. All I wished at the moment was for his class to end quickly so that I can catch some air because being in the class was a whole lot suffocating. "Now, let's practice the spell. But mind you students, this spell is a strong one and must not be taken for granted. The healing spell as of your level does not work for deep wounds or injuries that affect crucial parts of the body like the heart. But not to panic, we will get to that" Narek stated, staring straight at us. "For the meantime, the healing spell you all would be chanting can be used on bruises, cuts and burns. The danger here is that when chanted incorrectly, the effect could be disastrous. You could enlarge the wound you are trying to heal" Narek warning voice came out low and menacing, I gulped down nothing. He stood straight and clapped his hands, "Now the spel
