Nicole Jane’s POV“Take my hand,” he commanded.I couldn’t make out his face. So, at first, I hesitated to reach out for his hand. But when I heard the familiar voice urging me from behind, I quickly reached for his outstretched hand.I didn’t know where we were going. All I knew was that we were by the seaside, surrounded by battles on both sides.“We shouldn’t run. We have to face them,” I shouted at him.He shook his head. “No! I won’t let them take you away from me again.” He grimaced. “Don’t worry. I’ll just make sure that you’re safe before I face them.” His every word carried a hint of threat, so I didn’t say anything else. Besides, I didn’t have the strength to object anymore.But I stopped abruptly when my knees suddenly weakened. I just couldn’t run any longer.“Nicole! Shit!” He quickly came to my side and carried me.I wanted to speak, but I was getting weaker. My vision was also blurring, and the blood continued to flow from my side.What the hell is happening to me? Is t

Nicole Jane’s POVA smiling Kyle Ethan Clarkson ascended the stage. And I know that at this moment, the people around us can’t help but be amazed by this changed guy in front of them.It’s also amazing how his dark aura from earlier had quickly turned into a bright glow.I looked at his parents, who were proudly staring at their son. I could see the joy on their faces, especially in their eyes. But everyone fell silent when he started to speak.“Before I start, I just want to take this opportunity to thank you all for choosing and believing in this academy. Today, we are all gathering to celebrate another milestone and achievement that we have reached. It has not been an easy journey. We have encountered numerous u-turns, obstacles, accidents, and bumps along the way. And yet, we managed to finish the drive and reach the end of the road.”We all stared at him. Everything falls into place. I just hope that we can all start our new lives as soon as we leave the academy.“But it doesn’t

Kyle Ethan’s POV“So, what’s your next plan?” Gino asked.I smiled. “To marry her after college graduation.”I struggled to hold back my laughter as he suddenly choked. “What? Getting married right after college? You’re too fast, huh? Are you afraid someone will just snatch her away?” He grinned at me.I shook my head. “Nah, it’s not about that. We’re both headed in that direction anyway, so there’s no need to prolong it. If I could have married her right now, I would have done it.”He nodded approvingly. “You’re really head over heels, huh. Well, let’s see what Dad will say about that.”I fell silent. I had also been thinking about that. But I knew I wouldn’t have a hard time getting Uncle’s approval.“What are you willing to give for my sister to be happy?”We were currently on the veranda. I glanced at Nicole who was by the shore.Nicole was summoning a ball of poison in her hand, surrounded by a mixture of black and lilac colors.Meanwhile, Miley was simply watching her, hugging h

Reiri’s POV“Let’s go back already. I think we’ve gone too far,” I suggested, looking at everyone, but they all just shrugged.“Why? Are you afraid now, princess?” Hiro teased, and I simply rolled my eyes.“Whatever.”Steph laughed. “You two, I feel like even if you end up married, you’ll still bicker all the time.” She shook her head.“Well, that’s if they end up with each other.”I glanced at my brother and furrowed my brow. Why was he like that? Did he forget that he still owes me an apology?Hiro scratched his head. “You joke around too much, best friend. By the way, when we get back from here, you’re leaving already, right?” His words suddenly turned serious, and we all became solemn because of what Hiro said.I saw a sudden sadness in Steph’s eyes. Why did my brother have to leave? His drama of finding himself was just too much.“Yeah. Don’t worry. It won’t take long. I’ll also pay our parents a visit,” he said while looking at Steph. She averted her gaze and stared at the gentl

Third Person’s POVALMOST everyone Athena encountered fell to the ground as she put them to sleep. She would then chant a spell, and in an instant, all the fledglings turned to ashes. Meanwhile, Gino rained bullets upon their enemies until they turned into dust. He and Steph had matching guns specially made for the protectors.But they stopped in their tracks when they noticed that Althea seemed to be simply watching the ongoing battle. What puzzled them even more was that none of the enemies were attacking her.“Althea!” Athena called out to her sister as she approached. Althea slowly lifted her gaze in their direction.And they were not prepared for the sinister grin they saw on her lips.“Althea, what—” Athena couldn’t finish her sentence as in an instant, Althea was in front of her, choking her.Meanwhile, Gino, from a short distance, stopped and briefly looked in their direction. He was completely shocked and almost dropped his gun due to what he witnessed.“Shit!” He was about t
