“Sometimes, Apollo teaches football to the young kids!” Nicole said. “Oh shit!” she cried. “He is coming this way. Run and hide!”
I managed to look behind and saw that Apollo was coming this way. The crowd parted for him as it fell into a stunning silence.
“Run Lisa!” she urged. “
I ran as fast as I could, but I was slower. Apollo came to us soon enough and blocked us from running. He stood right in front of me and my eyes zeroed in on his yummy cleft. He stared at me with cold eyes and the moment my gaze shifted to his eyes, I was terrified. My mind goaded me to run away from him. I had to hide. I couldn’t afford to expose myself.
With his eyes fixed on me and without looking at Nicole, he hissed an order to her. “Leave.”
Nicole’s blood drained from her face. She lowered her head as her body trembled like a leaf and she walked away. I too wanted to follow but before I could do that, his hand came around my throat and gripped me hard. He pushed me against a door as I grabbed his wrist with both my hands. He looked so aggressive and murderous that I was petrified. He released his aura and I winced. Tears trickled down my eyes as I stared at his face. The same face that I had admired last night was so cruel right now. I should have known that he was someone I shouldn't have never ventured out with. And now everyone at school was watching us.
“What are you doing?” I spluttered.
He leaned over my ear and growled, “I am going to ruin you so badly that you won't ever recover!”
Stunned at his words, I didn’t know what crime I committed that he sealed my fate this way. His grip was tightening around my throat as his fangs descended. Suddenly, a hand tapped over his shoulder.
“Apollo,” a soft voice came from behind him. “She is nobody. Leave her.”
I spluttered and coughed when he left my neck after a few moments. Beside him, I saw a tall, slender girl with light brown curls with sharp features. She was looking down upon me. She tugged Apollo’s sleeves and pulled him away. I leaned my back against the door as I watched the two walk away hand in hand. Apollo glanced over his shoulder to glare menacingly at me. I sucked in a sharp breath as I returned the glare. I just couldn’t understand his complete reversal of attitude. He was absolutely, utterly, bitterly crazy!
When I rose on my wobbly knees, I saw people trying to get away from me as far as possible. Nicole came running to me from somewhere. She grabbed my hand and dragged me to the class. “I am so sorry!” she said in a breathy voice. “We shouldn’t have gone to the football field.” I was unable to comment after the whole incident.
When we reached our class, I took a deep sigh of relief. “It wasn’t your fault. You can't do anything about bullies.” But the moment I took another step inside, I bumped into a frozen Nicole. I followed her line of vision and saw that she was staring at Artemis, Duncan and Gilbert. Gathered at the back of the classroom, they were joking with… Apollo. He was sitting over a table like a king, with the girl who removed her from me, her elbow resting on his shoulder possessively.
Stunned, I too froze for a moment. Then I caught Nicole’s upper arm and said, “Don’t you let them get you, okay?” Even though I was reduced to smithereens, I pulled myself up and we walked in the classroom to the only two remaining seats in the last.
As I walked, I couldn’t help glancing at him and found him staring at me with a dark gaze. Why was he here when he wasn’t a student? The girl with him appeared to be his girlfriend. Then why was he alone last night with me? Nothing looked simple. We were just two rows behind them.
“Ignore them, Lisa,” Nicole whispered, leaning towards me. “If you react, they will come at you.” So, I focused on my bag and tables.
“Some girls just try too hard to grab attention,” smirked his girlfriend.
Duncan laughed. “Come on Rita. You don’t have any competition. Besides, Lisa is new and not as beautiful as you.”
Rita’s two friends giggled at Duncan's remark. Artemis snorted while Gilbert appeared least interested.
Apollo’s eyes narrowed. “Who is Lisa?” he asked.
Duncan pointed with his thumb over his shoulder. “The new girl. She’s here only for a year.”
My heart stuttered to a stop, knowing that Apollo would bust my identity. I cursed myself on the inside for letting myself slip that one time. My gaze snapped to Apollo. He was least interested in the conversation and was watching me like a hawk. Bring it on, bastard. I had his dirty little secret too. If he revealed my real name, I would talk about his shenanigans to his girlfriend.
For a long time, as our gazes met, the world around us faded. I didn’t realize when he came right in front of my table. He leaned over and pressed his palms over the table. With his biceps bulging, he said, “Liar.”
I seethed. “Two-timer.”
A muscle feathered in his jaw and his hand grabbed my jaws so tightly that they pained. “You and I have unfinished business!”
Nicole got up from the side. “Please Apollo, leave her. I will make sure that she doesn’t come in front of you ever again.”
“Mr. Apollo de Vries,” a steady voice came from somewhere.
He snarled, and I could see his fangs lengthening.
“You need to leave so that we may start the class,” said Mr. Adam, our class teacher.
He shoved my jaws back and left in a huff leaving me shaking like a dry leaf in the summer breeze. He was a bloody dark bastard with a devil's soul.
His girlfriend, Rita, gave me a withering glance before settling down with her minions beside her. Why was it that luck was not on my side ever since I was born? Artemis sat right in front of me along with Duncan and Gilbert. And I knew that the remaining days of my high school were screwed.
Apollo’s POVMy fingers balled into tight fists as soon as I arrived in front of the bar. I was stiff, all but snarling. My blood was heated as shock bolted through my body and I broke into cold sweat. An exquisite scent hit my nostrils. Orange blossoms and sweet spicy. It was so exquisite that my heart raced and adrenaline coursed wildly through me.My mate.Her pull was crazy. My stomach knotted and my throat became dry like a dessert. There was an aching need that suffocated me. My need for her. I needed her so bad that it hurt. Every muscle in my body became taut. Every second that I wasn’t with her seemed like eternity. It felt like a lifetime of torture. I wanted to howl in ecstasy.And at this point of time, I knew that all my nightmares and traumas would
As if instinctively, Natasha curled her hand around my shirt and pulled me closer in her sleep. Now my body shivered for a different reason. Revenge that I had planned all those years, surfaced. With my heart racing, I looked down at the face I realized I had come to hate and I tasted fury at the back of my throat. Anger and distrust swelled inside like a storm in the eye of the ocean. It was so consuming that I wanted to wake her up and shake her. My hands went to her head in the hope of threading my fingers in her hair and yanking her down, but I found myself holding the back of her head with my shaky hands. While she lay in my protective embrace, I seethed in my rage. She moved a little and I froze when she buried her head in my chest. I needed to get away from her, kick her out, or kill her, but all I could do was feel her soft breath on my skin as she slumbered. I placed my head over hers as I
Natasha POV The class got over and I realized that I had much to catch up. As such transitioning from homeschooling to a proper high school was difficult for me. I really didn’t have any inclination to get any more attention and so I packed my bags quickly and looked at Nicole who was zipping her bag. She moved her chin to the exit gesturing me to go. Honestly, I wanted to leave this scholl and this pack after today’s incidents. I intended to have a word with my aunt and uncle. BMHS was the pack school that was a part of a larger building that consisted of the pre-K school and the college. It was a giant monstrosity of a brick building with great interiors. The gardens were lined with woods and their perimeter was full of seasonal herbs and flowers, emitting intoxicating fragrance.
My stomach plummeted and terror seeped inside my skin. For the love of God, what was he doing here? The way he was leaning against the car, it was as if he knew that I was in detention. Did he wait for me to come out? Did Rita fill him with her skewed version of the story? I realized that he was waiting for me to get even. My knees started shaking but I couldn’t show that I was weak, so I continued to walk to my car. When I neared Apollo, his woodsy and male musk scent flooded my nostrils and a muscle tingled in my core. Shit. Shit. I ignored him and opened the driver’s door but Apollo caught my bag and tossed it on the ground. Before I could protest, he spun me around against his chest. I yelped. “You are the stupidest girl I have ever seen,” he growled. “It seems your girlfriend has alre
I closed my eyes as he rubbed my clit while pressing my core. The sensation was so consuming that I chased my orgasm. I felt like an addict. I held his forearms and dug my nails in them. My thighs began to shiver as a tingle ran down my spine and just as it was about to touch the heat that had pooled in my belly and explode into an orgasm, Apollo removed his fingers.“Nooooo!” I cried, missing his fingers. This was frustrating, agonizing.But Apollo had other plans. He spun me around and pushed me to kneel in front of him. “You won't get your release, Natasha, but you have to take care of this.” He opened his belt, unzipped and lowered his pants. His massive erection sprung free. “Open your mouth,” he ordered.I stared in awe at his huge length—the most bea
“Natasha,” my uncle called, worried that I was suffering from separation anxieties. I was. “I will come here every weekend for you, okay? There’s nothing to be worried about. Your aunt has stocked up everything. If you want, you can call Nicole to stay with you.” I gave him a weak smile. He was a genuinely sweet soul. He didn’t know the kind of anxiety I was going through and I didn’t want to burden them with my worries. How could I tell them that a certain crazed Alpha wanted to avenge me for I-don’t-what and that I was the cause of them leaving for two months. No, they didn’t have to know. I would endure it… for them. My aunt leaned to the right, picked up a credit card and gave it to me. “This has a withdrawal limit of three thousand dollars for this month. If there is an urgency, don’t hesitate to withdraw.”
Apollo POV Two days. For two fucking days, she didn’t come to the school. I was furious. After my successful attempt to break her pride in the car park, she thought she would be happy by avoiding me? No. I wouldn’t let her be happy. For sixteen years, I had suffered the agony of the past every day. I would take those sixteen years of torment in one year. Each day is going to be hell for her. When she went home after our incident in the car park, I wanted to see how broken she was. I was in the woods behind her house that night, hiding in the shadows, looking at the light of her window. She came there once. Satisfied after seeing her troubled face, I went home to prepare for my next day’s adventures with her. I was going to ruin her to the exte
Natasha POVFor the whole night I was unable to sleep. At first, I thought that I should just barge in his office and demand that he take that photo down from his social media account. But then it was going to confirm everyone around me that those were my panties. The news would definitely reach Kevin and I didn’t know how he would take it. I was also bothered about all the attention I would gather.My parents died in a bloody accident, and it was a scene that was carved in my mind. All my early childhood I struggled and built up myself all over again. Why was he bent upon breaking me? Maybe he was a psycho!So, I decided that I would go to the school and wait for the devil. I was going to deal with him and then avoid him forever. Ignoring the nervous fluttering in my stomach, I stepped out of my car and took
