Kira's POV.I dragged my feet on the floor as I walked. I wasn't particularly tired. I was just frustrated. Ken was gone after all and I couldn't reach Austin.I heard rubbing footsteps behind me in the hallway. It was empty with just me in it, but I didn't care to check who the other person was.The footsteps kept getting closer and by the time I finally decided to check who it was, the person put a hand around my mouth and pushed me through a door. I panicked and did what any normal person would; struggle.“Hey relax it's me" I heard a familiar voice. It was dark, but I knew it was Austin. I didn't understand what was happening until someone passed by the door looking very suspicious. I wanted to worry about the guy, but the closeness I and Austin shared was driving me insane. I could feel his hot breath on my face and even in the slight gloom, I could still see his parted lips. Why did he have to put me in such a tight situation? Didn't he realize I was his mate and was meant to b
Christine's POV.“How long do we have to wait" I seethed inwardly as I spoke. I couldn't help the annoyance especially when I was in the same space with Jace. Marcus wasn't dumb to notice I hated him, but he still kept us together."You speak like I am the one holding them from coming out”I turned to look at him with arms folded."You seem experienced, so that shouldn't be a problem”"What do you want me to do, go over to people's houses and beg them to come outside, so our little queen can turn them,” he asked and I rolled my eyes are him."Why do we have to work for him anyway, we can ditch him and leave this state or even this country” hI suggested and he laughed."You can't run from someone like Marcus,” he said and I gulped. Was I going to serve him for the rest of my life?“We can't obey him till eternity" “No, we can't" Jace got closer and cupped my chin. His closeness made my stomach twist and I could feel the butterflies already. “What we can do however is kill him" his lip
Kira's POVThe last thing I thought I would ever do was talk to Xavier. After the phase we went through recently, I decided to keep my distance, but I had to ask him some questions and I had to drop whatever ego I was putting up.“Hey wait up!" I ran up to Xavier who walked away from me when he heard me say. " Tell me more about Frederick”I expected that reaction because no one seemed to like him. The word like was too mild. They pretty much hated him."Forget about it, Mirabel. You can ask other people. Leave me out of it”"Why? This is why I don't understand. Is he some kind of deity or something? Why do you guys have to be so secretive about him”Xavier turned to look at him. "Because some things are better left alone. Like Marcus. Now peace off” he gestured for me to leave, but that didn't make me stop following him. He ignored me at first, but when I still followed him even when we were out of the school premises, he had to say something.“What, you plan on following me to my ho
I knew Bella was going to take a long time, but I didn't expect her to waste so much time. I watched her approaching and I heaved a sigh of relief. My butt was already starting to hurt from sitting in a spot for a while. I didn't know exactly what to say because she had once told me today the fuck away from her body, but I couldn't. The first reason was, he was my mate and the second was, I needed his help if I wanted Christine back. I had a feeling all those things Christine said were a result of how she hypnotized she was“Hey" I facepalmed myself when I said that. 'That was too high' I said to myself.The look on her face made me more nervous.“You" she rolled her eyes and I felt insulted, but I didn't show my annoyance. I need her help after all. “What do you want"“I have been coming over and"“Ken is gone" she helped me complete.“Yeah"“And"“Do you know where he is?" “Out of l.A" she said and started walking.I knew she was lying. She didn't just want anywhere near her broth
Kira's POV“You seem to forget I am a witch and I can summon him if I try very hard” That was a lie, but it accomplished its aim. It made Ken turn to look at me. Now he was interested in talking with me.“You can't do that Kira," he said walking towards me while I kept a stern look on my face as I looked at him.“Why not" I shrugged“It will take a very powerful witch to do that"“Or his fellow vampire" I helped him complete and he sighed.“Xavier should learn how to close his mouth""Does that even matter?“ "Let the dead remain dead Kira, we can't wake him up”"But we need him” "Christine is not worth waking up someone as deadly as him”"So we are just going to let Marcus get away with this”“Look Mirabel, you need to stop acting as if you care about what Marcus does. You are only worried about Christine”“Of course" I backed myself up.“Then stop acting as if you care about the balance of nature"I shrugged. “You don't care either"“I stopped caring about things like that a long
Kira's POVI kept hearing a slight thump on my window as I slept. I tossed continuously on my bed without the idea that someone was by the window. Maybe I was too tired to pay attention to something as crucial as that.After the persistent thumbing, I opened my eye as a groan escaped from my lips. I turned to look out my window and my heart dropped.What was he doing here? I asked myself.“Ken?" I called out, rubbing my eye with the back of my palm to get the sleep off. Maybe I was still dreaming, I concluded inwardly.He knocked again and I realized I wasn't dreaming. It was Ken. What was he doing here? I asked myself. I remembered he didn't even want to look at me twice when I was at his house, but now he was here.His eyes looked different. It didn't hold the usual annoyance and irritation, it usually held each time they fell on me.I slipped off my bed and walked to my window to open it. He entered through the opened window while I stood by the side with my hands akimbo.“What are
Kira's POV“Guess who's going to fucking stupid Harvard?" if I and Christine were still talking, that was what I was going to tell her, but no, we weren't and I didn't have any friends. So the only person I could tell was myself. I sucked at being alone. Maybe that was why I was so concerned about bringing Christine back.The bag behind my back was much heavier than usual. Maybe there were too many books inside. I couldn't tell because I didn't know what was in it. I carried the bag that morning without checking what was inside. I was too angry at my mother for even thinking of putting me in Havard.As soon as I got to class, I angrily tossed the bag to one of the chairs and opened it. I was angry at first, but when I saw the content in the bag, all my anger subsided. Confusing took over. What was Ken's spell book doing there? No wonder it was so heavy. It had a book as heavy as that in it.My eyebrows furrowed in confusion I didn't see Ken put it there when he got to my house the p
Kira’s pov “I'm not trying to fight it goddamn it!” it was like I was losing my mind. Scrap that, I was indeed losing my mind. I held onto the steering wheel as tight as possible. It was my way of reminding myself that I was still in reality and that I was not completely losing my mind. “Kira” the voice came out more eerie than normal and I almost screamed out of fear. I was sweating so much that my hand occasionally slipped from the steering wheel due to how wet they were. “Please stop” I had to beg because he was indeed making me lose my mind. “it's too late Kira” before I could under what he meant by that, the steering wheel of my car turned to the right forcefully and the car went in another direction. The speed almost threw me out of the car, judging from the fact that my seatbelt wasn’t even strapped. it kept driving by itself while I prayed to survive it. It started heading towards the woods. I thought it was going to stop, but it kept moving. I didn’t understand what kind
