I sat there on the ground watching his receding figure as it disappeared. He really walked out of the ward and left me in the hands of Torian and Sophia. The last words he said pierced my heart so deeply that I lost my breath. There was an intense hatred and rage in his eyes when he said those words...I couldn't see any warmth or pity. It was so clear that he didn't care about me. For real, he had lost his memories and doesn't remember me anymore. I was like a stranger to him. All the sacrifices I had made, which had destroyed my life and resulted in the death of my parents, were all in vain as he couldn't recall anymore.Hot tears warmed up in my eyes as my heart grew heavier in pain, thumping hard as the urge to cry pumped hard inside me. My eyes were still stuck at the door where he had just passed through. My pitiful self wished he would suddenly come back and save me from Torian, but it was all part of those wishes that never came to reality. "Did he just call me a fool? And he
Sophia's POVI felt a sharp pang in my heart while drawing my legs forward to where he was. The thudding in my heart was becoming faster and louder as I swallowed the lumps in my throat. He had looked away and didn't turn his face to me again. Those frowns kept going deeper, like he hated my presence in the class. I couldn't help but wonder why he suddenly hated me.I can be called the most beautiful girl in this entire school and also a Beta's daughter with royal blood. Many people wanted to have me, so what makes his case unique? He Just got enrolled and it seemed like we had been enemies for centuries.Lola, who was a commoner and a slave, was the one that got his interest. As much as I wanted to believe he had no feelings for her, I was still doubtful after seeing the way he got lost staring at her when he first entered the class, and he had even gone ahead to take her to the clinic for treatment.Lola seems to be the one he is concerned about, and I won't mind killing her. Yes,
My head was suddenly banging hard as I forced it to remember the past as it was crystal clear something had happened when I was hunted by those pack warriors, which I couldn't remember again. Now I have no doubt that Lola saved me, but why I can't remember it is something hard for me to understand.All I can remember is being chased a few days ago when I snuck into this pack in my vampire nature, only hiding my scent and putting on a hood. Nothing else! How Iater survived that day was no longer registered in my head, which was so strange.I lay my head on the desk with closed eyes as I kept racking my brain and suffering more headaches, which seemed like they would sear out my eyes. Everything seemed to be spinning around me, forcing me to grunt as all my efforts to recall weren't showing any results.I thought of shoving everything out of my mind, but the urge to recall what Lola had done for me was so strong. If she had betrayed the wolf community to save just me, then I would owe
Jace's POVEveryone scampered away for safety, and I could see how Torian's grip slipped off Lola's neck before he took quick steps back, his legs trembling. The werewolf scent was gone and replaced with that strong royal scent and the heart-wrenching aura of a vampire, which left everyone terrified to the core. I knew, in no distant time, the hunters would be here to hunt him down, as every wolf here would quickly send a mind link to the hunters' base. They would come in large numbers, and it wasn't going to be easy for him."You are a vampire?" Sophia's voice was stressed out as she grunted, peering at him, but Jason seemed to have lost his mind entirely as his eyeballs glowed in strange colors and his gaze was fixed on Lola."You... are..." You are mine. " His husky voice rolled out again, each word at a time. This time, it wasn't laced with anger, but passion. He was looking straight into Lola's face like that was where his life depended on it."Blake..." Lola cried out, blinking
Sophia's POVIt was like the speed of light, whooping through the air just before I could make a blink. This was the last thing I expected, and even though I knew he would run away, I never thought it would be immediately. In an instant, before I could use my magic powers to shut the door. That was my plan to stop him from escaping before the hunters got closer. When I saw Lola hug him, my heart became at ease, and I couldn't hide my smile. The hug made me believe they weren't aware the hunters had been informed already and would be in the school shortly.All I was waiting for was to sense their presence with my sharp organ. It was so unexpected to see Blake vanish away. Not all by himself, but he also took Lola with him. If he had waited a little, my whole plan would have worked out perfectly.Yes, I planned to help the hunters subdue him so easily and fast. When he'd be made a slave in the pack, I would seize that opportunity to use a greater love spell on him so he would love me.
Lola's POVThere was an absolute silence that filled the atmosphere as we both sat down right there across the boundary. Blake seemed lost as his face got buried in his palm. All I could hear was his heavy breath and a silent grunt.I had a lot of questions to ask him, but I already know he has no answer to them and must be contemplating it now. It wasn't about taking me away right now; it was about where I would go next. No one ever thought of a moment like this while speeding away from my pack. We had succeeded in escaping the ambush of the pack hunters. Yes, we left before they came, but does it all make sense? I am not safe here either. As much as I wanted to know what step Blake would take next, I still knew he couldn't do much. This must be why he is lost in thought here and now."They are coming..." His deep and caring voice spoke out all of a sudden while he pulled his head up quickly, spinning his full gaze at me. My eyes widened in shock while I flinched in fright, knowing
It was like an illusion, so unreal that I had to scrub my eyes and pinch myself so hard that my flesh bled. I was breathing heavily while watching Blake transform into his vampire nature in readiness to fight them. He was really going to kill anyone who touched me, including his fellow vampires.I felt angry at myself for putting the ring he gave me on my necklace instead of wearing it as a ring over my finger as I had always done. Maybe these men won't have recognized me with it.Now he is about to attack his clan hunters back.The thought of this made me burst into an intense sob with my hand clutching my lips to muffle it. I began trembling, not from fear or panic, but this time, it was from an overwhelming emotion swelling inside of me.I know Blake loves me, but this is too much. He was breaking the rules and going against his family just to protect me.My gaze was drawn to the vampire hunters, who were now cowering in bewilderment and popped eyes. They were all dumb and short o
Jace's POVI finally opened my eyes and regretted it. For the first time in my life, I was extremely angry at waking up. The pain that coursed through me was unspeakable and so unbearable that my mind was hazed and every part of me numb as hot tears seared my eye sockets, pouring down profusely.The room was pitch black with no single source of light, making me wonder where I was. My first attempt to move my hands made me scream sharply as my skin seemed to be tearing. My brain quickly made a calculation and it dawned on me that I was tied so tightly to the chair I was sitting on. What I don't understand is why my whole body seemed like it was on fire. The pain wasn't reduced for at least a second, instead it seemed to be hiking and striking deeper into me. The more I clench my teeth and try not to cry, the more the pain goes deeper, like it was cutting every single organ in me."Somebody help!!" My lips broke apart. The scream echoed around the room and hit back at me as everywhere
