"Salty sugars! Such a nerve of him." Tessa balled her right fist in the air and snarled.
"Calm down. I guess he suspected that we're lying or hiding something. That's why he said it. We underestimated them." I sigh.
"What do we,now? If he learns that Alex is getting taught by Branson in some secret place, then?" Tessa asks.
"I don't know. I'm worried about this too." I hold my hips and look around the corridor. We don't have much time until our next class starts. So I need to think of something quick. "Alright, listen. My mind is not working right now but until I figure out something, don't tell anything about it to Branson or Alex. Branson will freak out and Alex will end up packing his suitcase or who knows,worse! We can't take any risks right now." I say.
"But we should inform Alex, Cinn. You remember how he acted when he learnt that we kept so much away from

Act cool. Act cool."Oh." I reply, a little more chirpily. Damn my drama club skills."And…he seems to be quite catching the cold." He says and relief floods through me. "Though, it's weird that he caught such cold in this weather, especially when he mostly stays indoors." Tristian's eyes narrow at me. I'm dead."Yeah. Poor soul." I look away from him and nod my head faking sadness."Let's order something." Peter says."You guys eat, I'll leave." Alex says out of the blue and before I can call him, he walks out of the cafeteria. What happened to him? I notice Tristian looking at him too.The waiter arrives and we give our orders."Can we just take our food with us?" I ask Tessa through the mind link."Hmm." Comes her reply. What's that supposed to mean? Wh

I sigh. Professor Sheila looks at me sympathetically. The thing I hate the most. "It's alright, Aurora. You'll learn eventually." She pats my shoulder and gives a warm smile."Yeah, thanks Professor." I mumble in the hope that she hears it without me making any effort. Because if I let my voice get any louder, the entire class will hear my choking voice. Controlling my tears from descending already takes a lot. I walk back to the crowd, hearing the muffled laughter of some students. They're surely making fun of me.You're totally unworthy! Shame on you!"Hey." Tessa holds my shoulder, "Don't push yourself." She rubs my back while I look at the checked stone floor.How am I supposed to be a Luna and bring about revolution for the female wolves in my pack? How did Luna Cassandra do it? Lady Cassandra Crescent is the Queen of the Crescent royal bloodline. The only female

I thought that confusion is only confined to solving math problems. Now, I know that compared to Tristian's antics, it's nothing."What are you doing here?" I sigh and look at the quiet lake. At least I have something to keep my mind calm.He stands beside me, " Nothing. Just saw you standing here like Buddha so thought to accompany you."I roll my eyes. Why does he keep coming back when I'm alone? "So, you're telling me that it has nothing to do with you stalking me?" I turn at him and cross my arms over my chest, giving him 'the glare'.He chuckles, "Don't praise yourself too much Barbie doll. I'm just here to enjoy the serenity of the lake." He moves his arms dramatically towards the lake."Really?" I arch a brow, "Then how come you are here when I decided to be at this place?""Oh,come on." He smiles, "It'

Darkness and silence enwraps me as I walk through the trees, moving more and more closer into the forest. Is this forest a part of the academy too? Why is it so secluded?Just then, the sound of a twig snapping catches my attention and I immediately turn around. Nothing! Great! I hold my chest and exhale to calm my racing heartbeat that drums against my ribcage. Maybe, I shouldn't have come here. And yet I find myself turning back to my trail through the woods. There's that absurd sensation of an eerie presence. I can feel it in my gut. But what would hide inside the woods?At that very moment, something approaches me from behind and before it can attack,I move aside. I fall on the soft, muddy ground,my right hand elbow burning slightly from a bruise. The 'thing' snarls and lunges on top of me. Getting nothing to defend myself with, I use my arms to grip the thing's hands as he hovers over me.&nb

If someone told me even a few weeks back that I will be carried in bridal style by Tristian,then I would have laughed my guts out. Yet,here I am, curled up like a ball in his arms and even though I should resist and tell him to put me down, I don't. What the fuck is wrong with me?Silence spares my thoughts for the time as I rest my head on his chest. So warm. Maybe it's the cold that is making me clutch onto him like that. But, ain't I a feminist? I should walk on my own. But the pain…The trees clear out in front and the light of the sun makes me squeeze my eyes shut. I guess I can walk back to my dorm from here. But Tristian does not stop and keeps walking with me in his arms towards the... academy!"Ahem...I think you shouldn't do that." My cheeks burn red and I don't dare to look back at his eyes."There are a lot of stairs. I won't let you walk up to your

"I wouldn't have talked about it to anyone. Because I want to hear your explanation first." I raise my head and look at him.SilenceHe keeps looking at me for a prolonged moment of silence. His head tilts and his eyes dig holes into my face. Parting his lips, he speaks , "I cannot trust you on that."What?My fingers clutch the bed sheet and I speak up, "Why?" It comes out of my mouth even before I could think. Damn it!"I have my reasons. But I do need to ensure that you don't discuss it with anyone.""I need answers first!" I narrow my eyes at him, "What was it?"Tristian raises an eyebrow, "What was what?""Oh, don't you act innocent! By the look of yours, I can tell that you know what I am talking about. What was the creature that attacked me? And why?" I cross my arms over my chest an

"No! No,no,no,no!" Tessa shakes her head frantically, "you're not going to go outside for training after what you have done to yourself. You'll stay here and rest until you feel better." She crosses her arms over her chest.I sigh. Kind of had the feeling that Tessa will be against it. But I need to get out. I have to check that tunnel and see if my suspicions were right or not. "But I am fine! See?" I show her my arm, where the injury has already started to heal."I said no means no. You're not going anywhere. I'll go to the canteen and get some snacks for us. You stay here until then." Tessa closes the wardrobe and walks out of the room.I smirk. My Tessa is so naive.Wearing a black hoodie top, I pull on the hood over my head and strut towards the door. My hand twists the door knob, but the door doesn't open. Huh? I try again and again, but it doesn't open. Bl

Turning around slowly, I find Alex standing a few feet away, his green eyes shining under the moonlight. He walks towards me and speaks again, "What are you doing here? And how's your arm?' He bends his head and his eyes scan my arm."It's fine." I tug a bundle of hair behind my ear and look back at him," I'm just roaming around."Alex cocks his left eyebrow, "At night? In this condition? And out of all the places you chose to roam around the back of the academy in front of the storeroom?" He points his thumb at the door."Fine! I was trying to practice my skills. I guess you've heard it by now." I stare away from him. It reminds me of what Jessica said to me. And I am still not done with qualifying for it."Yeah." Alex licks his lips and looks down at his hands, "you know…" he stares back at me, "I don't believe those stupid rumors. I think you're a very
