登入Cassian led her out of the room and shut the door behind them. The hallway was quieter than before, making Julianne assume that the boys had gone to sleep or were resting in their rooms. She walked a step behind him and stared at the back of his head, unsure of where he was taking her.They finally stopped in front of a dark wooden door at the end of the corridor.Cassian pushed it open and told her, “This is the bathroom the boys on this floor use.” Then he added, “Everyone is in their rooms already, so you won’t be disturbed.”Julianne peeked inside carefully. The room was much larger than she had expected. A row of sinks stretched beneath a long mirror and beyond them were several shower stalls separated by stone walls. Earlier, she had feared that it would be an open space where there was no privacy at all.Surprisingly, everywhere was clean and there was a faint smell of fresh soap instead of the damp smell she had been expecting.She turned to Cassian and asked, “Are you sure th
Kaidan escorted her upstairs and opened the door to Maximus room. The conversation they were having inside was stopped abruptly and everyone turned their gaze to the door.“Sorry” Kaidan apologized. “I guess I should have knocked.”“It’s fine. We were done already.”Julianne’s eyes fell on Cassian who had just spoken and she felt something bubble inside of her, like a wash of relief on seeing that he was fine.The others in the room exchanged glances and understood the situation at once. As Cassian stood, ready to leave the room, someone else stood and spoke as he walked toward Julianne.“Look who it is! I guess I misunderstood you all this time. Well, forgive me for the troubles you encountered during your time in the university. I wouldn’t have messed with you if I had known sooner.”Julianne took a step back when he came closer and squeezed her hands at her sides. This was the boy that appeared to be the dangerous out of all the wolves and seem to have a higher authority over them
The moment Julianne snapped her eyes open, she found herself in the one place she didn’t like to go—the infirmary. The smell of medicines made her feel nauseous and she raised her body to sit up.A lady came to attend to attend to her and while she was checking her vitals, Julianne asked, “How long have I been unconscious?”“Almost two days now.”She pulled her brows and couldn’t imagine she had been out for that long. The last thing she remembered was saving Cassian. Speaking about him, where was he now?She made to stand up, but the lady told her, “You can’t leave until someone comes to get you. At least, that was what I was told.” Then she went ahead to mumble to herself, “I’ve worked here for so long and I still get threatened by him. What a pain!”“Who?” Julianne asked.The lady raised her brows and questioned, “What do you mean who?”“Who told you to keep me here?”“Oh. It’s one of the boys known for causing the most of trouble. He was here not long ago and told me he’ll be send
Maximus didn’t say there was a way to prevent death or that less people would have to die. He only made it mean that there would, but if Cassian was with them, he would know what was better.And now, she has to save Cassian and bring him back to consciousness as soon as she can.That was more brutal on him, she thought. How can she bring him back to consciousness, only to send him out there when he wouldn’t even have recovered fully?But then, that is what is at stake now, and she has no other choice.She walked back to the bed and stared at his face. Even though he was out, he still looked like he was fighting something inside of him. He looked like he was in a lot of pain. She started by removing the piece of cloth he had used to tie his wound. She has no knowledge of how to save him and it seems so much responsibility has been given to her in such a short time, but she knows she’ll figure something out.The wound hadn’t healed; rather, it seems to have gotten worse. She covered he
The desperate search for Julianne took much from Cassian, but he kept going. Maximus worried about him more than anything, but still, he knew he couldn’t stop him.It took them about twenty minutes of searching before they finally saw her standing alone in the midst of nowhere. “Julianne,” Cassian breathed her name with the last of his strength.Julianne let out a deep sigh before turning. She saw the both of them looking worried, but most especially, she could sense that Cassian was badly hurt.“Why are you standing alone there?” Maximus asked. “We were worried they got you.”Julianne blinked and apologized, “I’m sorry. I got lost and couldn’t find my way back.”She moved from there toward them and when she got closer, Cassian pulled her to a hug. He moved his hand to her back and held her tightly, as if afraid to let go.“Cassian,” Julianne called and said, “You are hurt. You need to go to the infirmary and—”“I’m glad…”“What?” she asked with her brows pulled in worry.“I’m glad I
Cassian watched as Julianne hurried off and once she was out of sight, his expression changed totally. He moved his arm forward and held the rest of the arrow sticking out. With one pull, the rest of the arrow came off and more of his blood dripped down his arm. He tore a piece of his cloth and wrapped it tightly around the area.He suddenly staggered backward, feeling slightly dizzy. He perceived that something was off and he raised the arrow. It didn’t look different than any normal arrow or the one they’ve used in the past to haunt them, but something was definitely wrong inside of him. It seemed as though the arrow had a bit of silver in it.He had sent Julianne away on purpose because he didn’t want her to see something that would scare her than she already is, but now, it seems to him that he had made the right choice. That way, she won’t witness how deadly the silver can damage his body.Almost immediately, his body leaned forward and he coughed out blood. He raised his eyes an
“From the moment you came, something shifted and it is only the beings who lurks in the dark that knows. For some, it could mean danger for them. For another, it could mean another thing entirely. I also saw you as a threat and even now, a sleeping threat, until I find out exactly what you are. I h
“I like the length of your hair,” Marianne commented after glancing over Julianne’s hair since they started to head towards the boy’s dormitory.Julianne pushed the strands to the back of her ear and said to her, “Thanks.”“So, what is it you want from Cassian? Is it something he took from you? I w
The match ended with the blue team winning against the red team by four to one. Julianne walked down the bleachers to the field with Marianne right behind her, and Cassian, on sighting her, walked to meet up with her with his hair all damp and his shirt wet with sweat.“You lost,” she said to him.
Julianne sat up in bed and had her eyes towards the window, waiting. The lights in her room were off and she sat like that for a while, waiting for Cassian to come in through her window. If it were not for Marianne, why would she be expecting a vampire to come in through her window, and that too in
