Chapter 53
Tristian stares at me for a few minutes in silence. Meanwhile, I try my best to keep my tears at bay. The emotions are overwhelming, but I can't show him my cry baby side. I can't show him that I am weak.
Just then he closes the distance between us and his arms wrap around me in a hug. Oh my MoonGod! "I'm sorry to hear that. I really am." He says in a soft voice, making me warm under his touch. Bloody hell! Why does it feel so good? He pulls away and then stares at me. "How did it happen?"
"Nightcrawlers. They attacked the pack at the border."
Tristian blinks his eyes in confusion. "Oh. I see."
"The nightcrawlers were the reason my dad wanted—us—to get married. But I didn't want to." I press my lips tight.
"So you came here." He cups my face and rather than feeling repulsive, I close my eyes to relish the warmth that only hi

"Salty sugars!" Tessa's scream jolts me awake from my sleep."Ugh—What is it?" I grunt, squeezing my eyes to adjust with the early morning rays."Look! The academy is taking us on a trip!"My eyes shot open." Wa–What? A trip? But how is that possible?" I move to the edge of the bed and take the card from Tessa.Dear Students,We invite you to join us in our first Academy trip to the streets of London. Gather today at the Academy hall at 9a.m."Huh? How is this possible? Didn't Cynthia warn us that we can't come out of the academy once we are in?" I frown."Yeah, but maybe she lied?""Why would she lie about something like this?"Tessa shrugs. "I don't know. But we can't tell until we move our asses. Come on! Get ready! It's trip t

"We are traveling in a bus?" I hear myself say and gape at the horrendous bus in front of us."Yeah. Isn't that cool?" Tessa grins. "We would all be together." She claps."Tessa, would you sit beside me?" Peter asks."No way, Peter Pan! She's sitting with me." I say and hold her hand."Omg! I doubted you two had a thing." Jessica clicks her tongue. Her two minions gasp dramatically behind her. What a shit show!"No." I grimace. "I want to sit beside my friend, that's all.""Oh really? But she isn't your rag doll,is she? Did you ask her whom she wants to sit with before you 'declared' your decision upon her and poor Peter."I narrow my eyes and whirl my head at Tessa who stands cluelessly. "I don't need to ask her! She is my best friend. She would always want to sit with me! Right,Tes

"Horns! Horns!" Alex screams as he points his hand at me and I nod my head. They got the horns but how do I explain the whole thing? I move my hands on my back to show wings."Wings! H-huge ones!" Tessa shouts this time. "But something with horns and wings...an unicorn!"I nod my head sideways. Then I gesture as the wings are broken. "Uh? Chopped wings?" Peter says this time and I nod my head in positive. At least this guy is not completely useless for the record."Boo! You guys! We don't have all day." Tristian says in between and I snort at him, while he winks back at me.What should I show next? They should understand what I mean by chopped wings and horn. "Wait! Chopped wings and horns on head. Who has that?" Alex puts a finger on his lips while his eyes stay upward in thought."Um... maybe... Lucifer?" Branson mumbles, straightenin

"Aurora! Aurora! Wait!" His voice comes from behind me, so I pace up my walk to get out of his sight. I don't know how one gets out of sight from an Alpha, especially a royal Bloodline one, but the last thing I want is for him to watch me breakdown because of what he said to me.Yes, his words hurt me! More than I thought they would. And I thought that it wouldn't be that bad. But it feels like someone tore my dress into shreds. Like the day my cousins ruined the dresses I made for them. I was only eight at that time. I had pulled out some fabrics to create something for my cousins for the night of Halloween. I wanted to impress them. So, I put day and night in creating ghost attires. And the next day, when I gifted them…"What is this?" Mia shouted, looking at the pumpkin dress I made for her. "Are you seriously expecting me to wear this?" Her green eyes shot daggers at the short-heighted me as I hid behind my mot

"How can I come clear to you?" Tristian asks and all I let out of my mouth is air. Like shit! What am I going to say? And why is he apologising? Though it's not a bad thing,still the way he says things puts me in a trance."I—umm—" think,think! My attention averts towards Tessa who's laughing at something I guess Peter said. Maybe a joke. I sighed. She really looks happy with him. Maybe that's why she chose him over me. Nobody really stays happy with me for long. I look down at my shoes. "Whatever. You don't have to come clear." I mumble, my hopes drowning in the ocean of sadness. Maybe I should just give up on everything. I don't look at him and walk away in silence."Hey, what's wrong?" He still catches up with me. Argh!"Nothing." I keep walking, looking ahead at the group of students following the professors. They say a lot of things, but it feels like the whole world is on

The buzzing sound of my alarm wakes me up from my dreamless sleep. I wake up and grunt about the destruction of alarms and then remind myself that I was the one to set the alarm in the first place. "Great!" I push away the bedsheet. Tessa's snore reaches my ears as she sleeps like the dead. Nothing can wake her up at this point. And I don't need to.I smile to myself and hop out of the bed. Today is a weekday but the professors thought to give us an off day to catch up with the tour fatigue. And I have so much fatigue that it made me wake up early. Or maybe it's not the fatigue but a charming man who told me that we will be training today. Every freetime is a useful time and shouldn't be wasted. I would have opposed it but it's the only chance I will get to hangout with him. And I don't leave opportunities. Especially when it comes to winning the next bi-weekly contest which is just a week away.I brush my teeth, si

Tristian takes me inside the chapel. The interior looks nothing like the exterior. Quite obvious that I never stepped inside it because the day of the contest, I passed out a few steps away from the Chapel. Though I don't really mind the circumstance right now because if I would have known how it looks,then I can't enjoy this moment where he explains to me about the chapel. "This is one of the oldest monuments of this academy. There was no building when it was first formed and all the classes were taken inside the chapel." He says, his eyes focused on the raised platform where the sculpture of a woman stands with different sculpted hard shapes encircling her. Actually,they pretty much look like the different shapes taken from a circle. There is a half circle,full circle, three-quarter circle. Oh, now I get it. "The phases of the moon." He looks at me and smiles,as if reading my thoughts. The ceiling walls of th

The corridor remains silent as mom enters dad's office and doesn't recognise me standing in front of the doors. That's when I know it's my imagination. Otherwise everything looks and feels so real. As if I was here yesterday.And I remember the day I was actually here. I was twelve years old, running through the house, playing hide and seek with my nanny. I chose dad's office to hide but then I remembered that he strictly told me to not enter his office without his permission. So I hid behind those red curtains on the window beside the double doors."I wanted to tell you something." I hear mom's voice through the door. It's impractically loud, as if someone put a speaker on the wall that conveys all the conversations here."What?" The heavy,dense voice of my dad still shakes me.There is a moment of silence. I'm sure mom's hesitating to say something. Maybe I kno
