All stare was directed at asher, including Evelyn's whose heart shattered like broken glass, she knew he needed time to amend the cracks of his broken heart, her heart ached with sympathy and a great sense of weariness sweeps over her sucking her energy with it as her eyes misted over.She watched his every expression clouded with a mixture of pain and disappointment, her face contorted as she struggled not to cry, like a breeze pulling paper, she felt her feet pulled by grief as she walked toward asher."Don't," She felt a grab over her shoulder, she didn't have to turn back to know who it was, his voice had become familiar as the moonlight."What are you doing?, he's hurt, now's not the time to let petty jealousy cloud your judgment," She frowned at him, drenched in sorrow and sadness, why did it have to be Asher?, it was as though bad luck hovered above him like a hound, never letting go his prey until it is consumed whole."I'm not jealous eve," He sighed, how could he explain his
"This very unfortunate incident doesn't affect classes," Jared told the students who whispered among themselves, the incident of death and missing persons had become quite prevalent in recent days. It made the human students wonder if there was a serial killer among them, and the supernatural, if perhaps a rouge lycan was on the loose."Classes would go on as usual, but, for our student safety our security team would be tripled, so be rest assured, such an incident would not repeat itself," He spoke with a blank expression, feeling no empathy for his dead students, and how could he?, after all, the devil in disguise was the cause."There would also be a night curfew," Mrs Charlotte chimed in, "At 8pm, All students are to return and remain in their dorms. Any students caught roaming around the school premises would be punished,"Leon listened to Jared with a suspicious stare, there were only very few people able to kill Scarlett, and only one had a reason to, Jared. Still, to what end?
He descended down the stairs, each step echoing through the quiet place that led to a secret dungeon. He walked through the cells with stone walls and filthy flesh scattered across the floor, chains fixed to walls, flickering torchlight from torches in iron sconces revealing the bones, skulls, and heaps of clothing worn by his unfortunate victims until he stood before a steel bar and a black coffin.Taking the keys from his pocket, he unlocked the cage and moved toward the coffin. The beautiful man approached in heavy, deliberate steps, his smile a flash of black decay as he opened the coffin with little force where a young man, with pale white skin, seemingly asleep lay in his slumber."Dreymon," He called and in an instant, his eyes flew wide open and a look of shock flashed across his face seeing the figure before him."How did you get in here?," He asked the man he thought was the famous witch asher. Looking closer into his eyes which held nothing but emptiness and solitude, he qu
He found her standing by the hallway, watching the morning sun through its windows, she was aglow with its rays, like a goddess dancing under the moonlight. He felt the attraction between them became a tangible thread in the air and his safety ropes, as though he was a trapeze artist and she was all that keeps him from tumbling down. To her side, lurking by the stairway was Liam, watching her as his alpha ordered. He waved his hands in dismissal before moving toward the petite girl by the window side. "Did you see a ghost little kitty?," He spanked her across the butt which jerked her in shock and instinctively her blue eyes wandered around for watching stares. To her relief, there wasn't as only a few students wandered through the hallways."You can't do that," She scolded Leon. One touch and it was over, it was always that way with Leon. She felt electricity in her skin, hormones shutting down her higher brain and the rise of her animal self luring her into the depths of all passi
"So? what is it you needed to talk about?" His gaze was keen on the beautiful woman taking a seat at the opposite side of the table. Charlotte rested her head against the headrest and let out a frustrated sigh before responding"You can come out now," On cue and from within the shadows emerged the silhouette figure of a long haired blonde middle-aged man, stepping into the sunlight, his features became more defined and visible to Leon who immediately recognized who it was."Mr Duke," The ruggedly handsome scarred face across his left eye down to his chin looked impatient and intimidating. His blonde hair had been tied in a bun and his build towered over Leon's. The man developed a fearsome reputation for intimidating people with his hulk-like build and dead stare that could reach the depths of one's soul."What brings you here Mr Duke?," He asked. His tone was more respectful than usual which irked the witch. Still, she couldn't fault him, Mr Duke, before his retirement was a famous L
"Evelyn!" She heard the call from Jeremy a few meters away from her, beside him was Matilda, she wore a frown as they locked each other's gaze. It wasn't difficult to tell she hadn't forgiven her for keeping Leon's mate a secret."I'll see you later at the dorm," Anabelle quickly excused herself, she felt uncomfortable by Matilda's presence, one of the girls who thrived in her misery."We just heard the news, where's Leon?," Jeremy asked after Annabelle's exit, on their way to the school hall, they had heard the news of Scarlett's mysterious death. The news came as a shock to Jeremy who found it difficult to believe such a powerful witch could be killed and like Leon, he suspected Jared Donovan had something to do with it."He's at Mrs Charlotte's office," She replied earning a scoff from Matilda and a frustrated sigh from Evelyn, how could she tell Matilda she was Leon's mate knowing how obsessive and heads over heels in love she was with Leon?. Nonetheless, knowing Matilda she was c
"Oh there's Leon," Said Jeremy nudging evelyn on the shoulder. In a flash, her face was turned sideways, watching the boy she loved approach her with a gorgeous smile breaking between his lips. She doubt she could ever get used to his enchanting beauty that possibly was crafted and sculpted for seduction."Sorry if I kept you waiting," He pinched her on the cheek as he gazed affectionately at her, he had the look of an astronaut staring at space for the first time, awe, admiration, and satisfaction. "It's fine, you didn't take long," She brushed off his concerns as her heart soared over the stars in delight at his touch, "What happened at her office?, what did she need to speak to you about?,""I'm guessing she has the same idea as you?," Jeremy chimed in, his question earned a frown from Matilda "What idea?," she asked"To kill Leon's bastard brother, Jared," He answered, while both girls present bulged their eyes in a moment of shock which quickly morphed into an expression of con
Her jaws dropped, lips shiver but unable to speak, eyes sparkling and gleaming wide open, staring as gleeful as a lottery winner, and her feet halted in the green grass, she had stepped through the portal to feast on the most beautiful mansion she had ever seen. Suddenly his feet stopped, and he turned his head towards Evelyn who had her eyes fixed on the beauty of the St Donovan's castle. Each corner of the wall was beautifully carved, and the designs were made with complete care. With the combination of sky blue and spotless white paint, it was looking like a palace from a fairyland. Greeneries around the mansion added a natural feel and more beauty to it. "Wow it's magnificent," She exclaimed stunned beyond words at the magnificent sight of the mansion. The mansion was surrounded by massive golden gates which separated the castle from the outside world and secluded it into its own fantasy-like world."This is your home?, you grew up here?," She asked in astonishment. It explained
