The skin on her forehead pulled as she stood and she gave her one last look before turning her feet toward the door.“It wasn’t me,” Velvet spoke before she would leave. “I didn’t do it, Julianne. You have to believe me. These prints…”Julianne stopped, and Cassian paid more attention to what she was about to say. He knows she isn’t the one, even though the evidence points to her as she is the only owner of the print.Velvet sighed and said, “It’s how I communicate with the other hunters. It’s my lead in the forest and their lead to me. I know I’ve done some bad things and I regret it too, but your mother, Marianne…and Fiona…it wasn’t me who killed them.”Julianne turned to look at her and didn’t seem to believe her. “It has been hard for me too, you know? Being born into a cult family like that where all they do is hunt down those that are slightly dif
Velvet knew that Cassian doesn’t joke with his words, and that he meant it when he said he had no use of her. But even if that was true, she couldn’t let them return her to the hunters, not because of what she fears they might do to her, but because she fears what they were plotting.“You can’t do that,” she finally said with a slight plea. “Then watch me,” Cassian threatened further and started to head toward the door.She started to panic inside and before things would get out of hand, she moved her eyes to Julianne who started walking toward her. Then she started to apologize.“I’m really sorry, Julianne, for everything, and about Mari—Ah!”Cassian halted once his hand moved to the door handle and he turned. His brows pulled slightly when he realized what had just happened.Julianne was already consumed by rage and before Velvet would finish speaking, she landed a hard blow across her face.Velvet tasted blood and she felt a hard sting on her face. She moved her head and looked at
Julianne woke up with a start. Her chest heaved up and down and sweat broke out on her forehead. She wiped it off and breathed slowly, regulating her heart’s pace, before moving her eyes to the space next to her.She moved her hand over the sheet and noticed it was cold. How long has he been up? She thought.Her ears soon picked up some voices and she turned her gaze toward the door. She left the bed and walked toward it. When she opened it, her eyes fell first on Cassian, and next to him was Maximus. She could tell from how he spoke that there was a serious matter on ground. “Is something wrong?” she asked, causing them to turn to her at the same time.Both of them said nothing and just stared at her, making her look confused, until she saw Cassian’s jaw tighten. It immediately dawned on her that she was still in his shirt, and her thighs were very bare.She returned to the room without another word and shut the door immediately before scolding herself. The door opened again and s
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
Julianne was already panting when she reached the front desk of the dorm. The woman looked at her and asked, “Is there anything you want?”“I think someone broke into my room,” she said and tried to catch her breath.The woman looked at her like the calmest person in the whole school, then she aske
For few seconds, Marianne saw Julianne as a different person and not the same person she knew before. Something has changed in her and it was evident with the way she somehow convinced her to ask Maximus about Cassian’s past, knowing fully well that if she were to ask Cassian directly, she wouldn’t
Julianne hasn’t seen Cassian for days now since the freshman party. Although, she has seen Remus and Maximus walking together, but it was odd for some reason that he was not with them. Also, she noticed lately that Marianne has stopped covering up her neck and has been hanging out with the other tw
Cassian stared at the same spot for seconds and his jaw twitched. He blinked and pulled the corner of his lips a bit. Finally, he asked her another question, one that was unrelated to what she said, “Did Tim do or say anything to you the other day you came to the dorm?”Julianne wasn’t expecting a
