Nicole Jane’s POVWe were walking silently on our way to the clinic. Meanwhile, I continued to ponder over what had happened.There was definitely something wrong.I glanced at my wristwatch for a second just to check the time. But I was taken aback when I noticed that our next class had already begun.“We should leave. Our class is starting, and we weren’t hurt much anyway,” I was about to pull Mikan away, but Miley immediately blocked our path.“You don’t have to worry about anything. Vince and Hiro already informed your teacher that you won’t be able to attend today.”“What?” I was about to protest, but they quickly dragged us away, leaving us with no choice.When we arrived at the clinic, we found Kyle sitting inside. I wondered what he was doing here.I decided to ignore him and the nurse welcomed us right away.“Please treat the gashes on their arms. Both of them fell in an accident,” Reiri said.The nurse attended to us promptly. She first approached Mikan, so I looked around t

Kyle Ethan’s POV“Do you know why I suddenly got angry at you the first time we met?” She shook her head.“Because I thought you were an enemy since you managed to see this mansion where we live. And then I noticed that you weren’t wearing your bracelet. Just like now. I was just worried back then that someone from our kind might smell you. Because that bracelet serves as protection for the human students here.”Truthfully, I was fucking worried by that time. For the very first time again, I feel worried about a human being.She furrowed her brow. “What do you mean by that? How is this a form of protection?” she asked as she took the bracelet out of her pocket.I took it from her and put it on her. “We cast a spell on it. So that whenever you wear it, our kind won’t smell your blood, and they won’t be tempted. That’s also the reason why we try to protect you from getting injured as much as possible. All of us here have been trained to drink with animal blood. But I’m afraid to admit th

Third Person’s POVThe king silently observed from the window of the hall when suddenly, one of his trusted men entered. Even without looking, he recognized him based on his presence.“Did they launch another attack after what happened at the supermarket?” he calmly asked. Though in truth, he felt a surge of anger because their enemies had claimed a new victim.“None yet, Your Highness. For now, that incident remains the latest instance of their recruitment. We have also found a way to prevent it from becoming public,” the newcomer answered.The king sighed. “Most likely, he is already preparing a plan against us. That’s why he has been strengthening his forces in recent months.”He turned around to face the person who was addressing him. “Do you know that she was also present during that incident? Aren’t you at all a bit concerned?”The person smiled broadly before shaking his head. “I have great trust in her. Besides, I know that at this point, she is gradually discovering things abo

Kyle Ethan’s POV“Where’s the book?” I asked my parents directly when we were the only ones left inside the hall. All of us royals were already here at the palace.I’m really desperate right now. Earlier, Nicole suddenly had a headache and gave me a strange look. I had a feeling that we experienced something similar, so I became more anxious and confused.When she lost consciousness, I immediately laid her down on the bed. Even though her eyes were closed, her face still showed surprise and confusion.I didn’t want to leave her in that kind of situation, but I also needed to do it to clarify everything.“What book?” my dad innocently asked.“The book where the prophecy was written,” I calmly said, even though I really wanted to get my hands on it.“Oh. Why are you looking for that book? I recall that you weren’t interested in it,” Mom asked, confused.I smirked. “Don’t bother asking why. Because even if I don't tell you, you already know what’s happening,” I said sarcastically.Dad gl

Third Person’s POVSEVERAL hours had passed, and all the royals were still searching for Kyle within and outside the kingdom. Hiro and Reiri, still arguing like cats and dogs, were currently making their way around the back part of the palace. Vince, on the other hand, was walking seriously and meticulously exploring each room he passed by. Meanwhile, Kira and Miley chose to follow the king and queen, accompanied by the two mortals who brought Nicole to that place.However, as they turned around the corner of the long corridor, they were startled to realize that the ones they were following were no longer there.“Shit! It seems like they sensed someone following them!” Kira exclaimed, pulling at his hair, while Miley let out a sigh.The two were thinking how they could forget how much more powerful the parents of the latter were and how they thought they could ever outsmart them.“WHERE is the beloved prince, by the way?” asked the mortal man, and Nicole’s father, as he laid his daugh
