"Getting into Drexa's house is like humans getting into the White House." Dante suddenly said. I glanced at him and he shook his head slightly. "Just like it's practically impossible for ordinary humans to get into the White House, it's almost impossible to sneak into Drexa's house even as supernaturals." "But we have a witch in our midst. A powerful one at that." Cassie said. "Drexa also has witches under her. And they've cast spells that'll alert them once intruders step foot into the compound." Dante sighed. The room fell silent as I thought on what to do. Suddenly, I recalled something. I walked to the white board in the middle of the room and picked up the marker on the table. "Some time ago, Rebecca had to sneak into Drexa's compound to destroy an evidence Drexa tried to hold against her." I said, writing Rebecca's name first on the board. Dante walked up to me, "Rebecca is a three hundred year old vampire. She was able to get away with it thanks to her expertise. But do
~Rebecca~I arrived at Mia's place to see it upturned with no sign of her. I listened attentively until I heard the sound of rustling and followed it. I burst out in a room I didn't know existed in the house. I leaned against the door frame and stared at Mia who seemed not to notice my presence. I waited for a minute before I spoke up. "You suddenly took off. Is everything alright?"Only then did she stop and look up at me. She returned to her work the very next second without saying a word to me. I sighed and walked into the room fully. I glanced around it and noticed it was even dirtier than the other rooms. She had dumped some of her things on the floor, probably in search of something. I didn't want to disturb her, so I bent and helped her clean up the room. "You didn't have to help me clean up." She said the moment I finished. I glanced up at her with a scoff. "What a perfect time you chose to stop me." I saw a smile spread across her face as she dropped everything she was
I turned to the doorway to see the man standing there. "How do you all know the way to her place? I only knew here because she brought me here herself." "There are things I can do just by sniffing your smell." He smiled and walked in. I saw Keller walk in behind him and glanced suspiciously at him. Catching my gaze, he went on to explain, "We were passing through this neighborhood and I caught whiff of you. Decided to come in." "Are you trying to tell me practically everyone knows about his return and I'm just finding out?" Mia asked accusingly. I was tongue tied when I heard her and tried to defend myself. "I thought you two have met before at the compound." However, Mia ignored me and walked closer to Liam. So I had no choice but to turn to Keller. "Tell me the truth, I'm I really thinking too much or I'm right? They've met before and are pretending not to have, right?" I noticed her awkward stare and sighed. "Please tell me he didn't kill anyone." "He didn't, he just messed t
Dante walked into the dinning room with a cart containing food only to see Kyle walking away. He left the cart and walked towards Ashley with a blank look on his face. "He just arrived less than ten minutes ago. Why is it that he is leaving already?" He mused to Ashley but she said nothing in reply. He stopped talking and glanced at her gloomy face. He needed no one to tell him the father and daughter had ended on a bad note. "I'll clean up the table." He said and walked out of that room as soon as possible. "Dante has been nothing but helpful since he came. You should be a little nicer to him at least." Marcellus who had been watching them from the balcony said. Ashley didn't look up at him as she chose to ignore him. "Giving me the silent treatment won't change the fact that the burning desire in the pit of your stomach won't stop. If we don't consummate, you won't be at peace." He said again. He went silent when he saw Cassie walk in. She probably didn't notice Ashley's sour
EverMore AcademyHeaven sat in her office going through some pictures when the door was pushed open. She glanced up at the intruder and frowned deeply. Taylor walked to her table and stood over it. "Principal Heaven, why is it that Cassie, Ashley, and Keller get to leave the school whenever they want and you turn a blind eye to it?" Heaven sighed despondently. Taylor had been trying so hard to cause trouble ever since Ashley and the others left. No matter the explanation she gave to the girl, she always found a loophole. "I already told you times without numbers; a guardian requested they come with him. The rules of the school include leasing the students if their guardians request so." Heaven explained again .At this juncture, the door was pushed open and Taylor glanced back to see it was done by a handsome student. He waited until the door fully opened before stepping foot into the office. "I'm sorry, Taylor but I have to ask you to leave." Heaven said with a stern face. Taylor
"Dispatch men to find and bring me the culprit. I need to retrieve the relic myself!" Drexa commanded, her temper rising. Crassus shuddered at the murderous intent he saw in her eyes. He had seen how careful she was with the relic and often wondered why she loved it more. Although it was a colourful dragon relic, he still didn't think it was as priceless as she made it to look. Nevertheless, he nodded and left the room as quickly as he came. Kyle watched Drexa's expression with a slight frown. He had agreed to help Ashley and had her sneak in before coming to discuss with Drexa in order to keep her senses with him. Otherwise, someone with a keen sense of Drexa would've noticed there was someone going through her things. He had asked Ashley several times what it was she wanted but the girl said nothing. But with the expression on Drexa's face, he was beginning to think twice about his decision. What if Ashley was caught? The look on Drexa's face signified she'd kill whoever dare
The dinning room became silent as none of them actually knew about the shared power after mating. "You all really have no idea?" Drexa asked, pretending to be shocked, "Well, Ashley is destined to be powerful and will become even more powerful after being marked by her mate. The mate also stands to share her powers with her. Their lives become connected." "So you're trying to say Ashley will be in danger if anything happens to her mate?" Kyle, who was the first to catch onto the meaning of her words, asked and Drexa nodded. Ashley locked eyes with Drexa again. The woman knew way too much about her that it felt like she had been watching her the whole time. "I think I need to inform Rebecca of this." Ashley said regardless but Drexa scoffed. "And who said Rebecca doesn't know about it? I mean, do you really think she'd be that kind that she'd accept to house an Alpha who hated vampires and almost rejected you as his mate?" Chad stopped eating and grabbed the serviette next to his
Pegasus Bar As soon as Marcellus walked into the bar, he felt a pair of eyes on him but despite looking around to see who it was, he didn't see anyone. He stared towards the direction Ashley had taken before moving to the counter. "A glass of stronger vodka, please." He called out to the bar man who took out a bottle of vodka and a glass. Marcellus sat quietly in the bar, glancing at the direction Ashley took every now and then. When thirty minutes elapsed, he realized something was wrong and quickly left the counter but not without placing some dollars on the counter. He walked towards the direction only to notice it was pitch dark but thanks to his wolf sight, it was as bright as daylight in his eyes. As he walked further, he noticed the numerous doors on the wall with female diagrams on them, signifying it was the female restroom. He stopped at one of the doors which seemed to be slightly different from the rest. Turning the door knob, he got in and closed the door gently.
