A smirk was plastered on his face as he remembered how he had fooled Aurora, wondering how daft and stupid she was. It is clear that she will take a long time before she will recognize him, he can clearly see that.Because he couldn’t understand how someone will as stupid as her not to recognize the person that she was trained to kill for years. For as long as he can remember and as James had told him, Aurora had began her training at the age of ten and her father made sure the entire hatred he had on him was passed to her during the training. “How did you do it?” James asked, taking a sit.He had driven straight to Noel’s as soon as he dropped and helped Aurora unpacked, although he had to spend two hours on the way there. The road to the vampire’s clan always confuses him that he had to call Noel for direction. “I did nothing much, I only had to suppress my vampire scent and then act normal. Your cousin seems pretty much daft if you ask me.” Noel commented, passing James a class of
The morning would have been better for Aurora if she wasn't badly with a nasty headache. She had even tried wrapping wrapping a cold towel around her head as her father always does to her when she is sick but it was of no use.She pressed her lips together, picking up her phone and dialing James's number. Maybe he will have something to that give her and it will subside the headache. She hissed when the call ended and there was no response from James.She tried again, hoping that he will really do pick up this time and she will shout on his head for not picking the first time but had to keep her phone away when he didn't. She cursed under her breath as she made her way to the bathroom. "Nothing is going well for me." She uttered, bring out a new set of brushes and a toothpaste, keeping it by the mirror."I wonder what James is doing that he didn't pick my call. What is he up to at this time that he is not awake?" She asked no one in particular.She looked at her reflection in the huge
Pulling down the comforter that was used to cover him up, he sat upright holding his head. The drugs that he had taken earlier is taking it effect on him.And it has to be because it has been a while since he had taken drugs of any type. Shaking his head, he dropped his feet to the floor and headed straight to the bathroom where he rinsed off his face and then returned.The curtains were slightly opened, letting the morning sunlight penetrate into the room. "Damn, so I have been asleep for a day." He uttered, moving to the window and fully opened the curtains.The sun flashed on his skins and he had to thanked the advanced technology that made almost all vampires immune to the sun. Most of the vampires don't get burnt from going in contact with the sun and he is one of them, since he is the king.Then there are those whose blood failed to take in the drugs to keep them immune to the sun and can only go out late in the night. They were those people who he decided to employ as workers i
"So you want me to attend the ball this year? Is that what you are saying?" Aurora asked, as she flipped the omelette that she was frying.She had just gotten on phone with her father and the next thing, he was telling her about the ball that will be coming up soon. And instead of James that always attend the ball, she is to go this year, alone.As her father, Russell had told her, the invitation admits only one and there is no way he can get another one for her cousin so she has to go there alone. "Yes, pumpkin. This way you will learn more about the business and take over. James already said he has no interest in the business and was only trying to fit in until you are ready." Russell said on the other side of the phone.Aurora heaved a sigh, not sure of what to tell her father. She can't even tell him that the reason why she doesn't want to go is because she has started working as a waitress. If he knows, he will definitely fly to Atlanta and have her on her knees for that. "Oka
Noel had successfully purchased everything under the Pages, although there was an investigation about why the entire clan was killed but he doesn't even care.As long as he has gotten what he want, he doesn't care if the government thinks they can find the person who had killed the Pages and those under him. Giving it a try and wasting their time is actually nice and will buy him a lot of time to do whatever he wants to. After the documents were signed by him secretly, he asked Gaby to call James for him so that he will know of his new responsibilities. It is either he takes it or have his life taken from him because he knows more than enough about the vampires and might be a threat to them.Since Gaby had left the office to call James, Noel had nothing to do. He hardly comes to the office in the morning. The employees were shocked and stunned to do any work when they saw him at work early for the first time. It had also creeped him out whenever he had to check the time. If only the
Who told Aurora running two shift is easy? For the past few days that she had spent in Atlanta, she has been juggling between school and work.Lucky for her, her boss got a new intake that filled in her space in the morning while she takes over in the evening and her shifts ends 11pm. It wasn't easy for her, considering the way lectures has been going on and those nasty men that take them don't forget to give them extra work.Sometimes, Aurora would sit around, thinking about the main reason why she is really in school. For her, it was to make use of time until she is done with her mission and she will return back to the pack, but for her father? It is for her to become successful in the human world, and let's not forget after getting revenge for them.If there is really a way for her to rectify his thoughts then she would pay to learn about it and move with her plan. Moving to Atlanta is really hard on her, plus she doesn't get to meet James all the time and she is yet to meet a wer
The lights growing brighter as the earth lurches away from the sun, and now the orchestra is playing yellow cocktail music, and the opera of voices pitches a key higher. Laughter is easier minute by minute, spilled with prodigality, tipped out at a cheerful word. Noel stepped out of his car, putting on his jacket and he threw his keys to the chauffeur nearby.Coming to the ball really had a toll on him and like Gaby said, he will get to know about Aurora, more than what James is selling him. He flashed around a fake smile as he walked further more into the hall, his eyes checking around to see if he will see someone that he knows. This year, it seems like a lot of new members were added to the government yearly ball and he can't help but let out a hiss.He finally got an empty seat, when he sighted James. He waved his hands which James rushed to him. James was able to attend the ball because of the Pages company that now under his name to the world. Although the Pages are involved i
“You know you still haven’t told me the reason why you asked us to leave the ball early yesterday. And at the end, uncle got an award.” James pointed.Today been Saturday and also the day that James wanted to celebrate his victory for getting a ‘company’. He came to meet Aurora at the restaurant attending to some customers and when she was done, she came straight to him. “Diane was acting up.” She said, taking a sip of the coffee he had also purchased for her.“Who is Diane?” he asked. Aurora asked at how he is always forgetting the name of her wolf and if she says he is doing it intentionally, he will say she is trying to blame for forgetting things. “My wolf of course.” She whispered as she saw the cashier grinning at James.The normal James also flirted back, making the woman blush harder. “If I had known this was what you will do when you come here, then I would have never allowed that. You can leave when you are done flirting.” She uttered angrily and attempted to stand when she
