ログインJulianne heard a scream echo off and she turned. Both Ryker and Kaidan who were accompanying her turned too and they looked at each other. Julianne knew what Cassian was capable of doing. She knows that he doesn’t like it when someone tries to hurt his friends, or even someone close to him. And she was that person. Still, she trusts that he wouldn’t send them early to their graves. Just some broken bones and few days in the infirmary would do.“Let’s go,” Ryker said to her and they continued to the dorm. When they got to the entrance, she turned to them and said, “I can go from here. Thank you,” she said and then looked at Ryker. She had always wanted to have a conversation with him, but he always comes off as unapproachable ever since he said those words to her. But tonight changed the way she saw him totally. Seeing him take her side and how he seems to listen to Cassian tells her that there must be something going on between them which she doesn’t know. “We’ll watch you go in be
“It must be true,” the girl who clawed her earlier said with realization in her eyes. “See,” she said to the others, “if we don’t kill her first, we’ll be the first in line to be killed.”The others seem to agree with her and they all started coming closer. Their bodies lowered with each step and they started to transform to wolves. Their paws grew bigger and their eyes held death glares. As they advanced towards her, Julianne felt everything around her move slower than normal. It was almost like she could control the things around her. She felt her heart pulsing faster than normal and she closed her eyes. In that moment, the glow appeared on her skin again and she felt something, like a thread, snap within her. When she opened her eyes, she saw a wolf advancing towards her and she caught it by the neck, stopping it without moving an inch, and restraining it with her mind. The wolf whimpered and the rest stopped in their track at once.Their wolf instinct told them something that was
“You choose to be with a murderer rather than be with me.”Julianne frowned at the seventh word in his statement. She didn’t like how he talked about Cassian. It made her realize, that ever since she has been going out with him, he always has something to say about Cassian to make her feel like he is someone she shouldn’t associate with. Talk about gaslighting. But now…now she knows everything, and she won’t hesitate to prove to him that she can’t be deceived.“That murderer saved me more than once. That murderer cares a lot about me. And that murderer…became like that because he chose his friends over the people who wished him dead and wanted to have his friends killed. Would you have done the same if I were the one?” she asked and paused. “I didn’t think so, because you would rather not be known as a murderer who killed someone to save the one you claim to love.”The air thickened around them and Julianne felt a burning sensation in her to just release everything she has been keepin
Julianne sat at the bleachers with Lucien, their eyes focused in front of them, at the students playing. They didn’t speak much after he met her on her way to look for Marianne. Even though she was in haste, she knew she had unfinished business with Lucien, so she decided to give him the time. After today, there won’t be any confusion, she thought.Lucien lowered his eyes down to his hands and after a few seconds, he turned his head to look at Julianne. “Is he really worth it?” He asked her. He wanted to hear the answer from her, even though he already knew what it would be. When the incident happened, he had told her not to go because it could be dangerous, but she went anyway. She jumped right in front of danger all because of him. He should have known too, how she always pays attention to every little thing about him, even when his name is being mentioned.Julianne looked back at him and blinked. She didn’t want t say something that would hurt him. Instead of replying to his quest
Headmistress Eldryn was caught in surprise and it says it all in her expression, still she tried to compose herself. She didn’t think that Cassian would know things like that. Velvet would never tell anyone either, because if they knew, she knows where that would end her. No wonder Cassian came prepared, because he knew she would have caught onto his thoughts, but one of the benefits of being a vampire had worked for him. He hid his thoughts well and layered it with anger.“H—” she scoffed and asked, “How did you know Velvet is a hunter? Did she tell you that?”“Isn’t it obvious? No matter how hard you try to keep the truth, it will always surface somehow. You must already know that people like us hardly sleep at night. That is when activities go on most times, and I can’t count the number of times I’ve seen Velvet sneaking out. What would you have done if you were the one and you suspected her of killing someone close to you?”“So, did you follow her?” the headmistress asked.“Of cou
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 asked, “Are you Julianne Ashwynd?”|“Yes, I am,” Julianne answered.“Why weren’t you in your room last night?” she asked.Julianne couldn’t give the right answer the woman wanted to hear. But the woman didn’t waste her time either on waiting for the answer. When she saw that she was taking longer to respond, she opened a log book and said, “When they were doing the roll call, your room was vacant so we had to lock the door with the duplicate. This morning, someone called Marianne asked for your key, claiming she was your friend and wanted to drop something for you. I followed her and when she was done, I had the door locked.”Julianne was confused now. Last night, she didn’t take her dorm key al
Julianne went in and closed the door before walking to the bathtub. She dipped her hand in and felt the warm water. It would really get cold if she didn’t use it immediately, and the weather was a bit cold.After two minutes in the bath, she kept thinking about what could have made him change towar
“Julianne! Are you okay?” Lucien came kneeling in front of her and holding her face up, checking if she was hurt in any way. “I’m sorry for not coming to you quick. I shouldn’t have left you there alone.”Julianne could now see more students gather to check if she was fine, especially the girl who
Ryker clenched his teeth and fists tightly. Maybe Cassian was right, but how can he say those words like that? Right now, this wasn’t about getting his feelings out. He doesn’t know what it was that he felt for her, but whatever it was, it had a great effect on him. However, he didn’t think it was
In the dorm, Velvet was the first to notice that Julianne was missing. She couldn’t sit still and knew she needed to act immediately. She sneaked out and went to knock on Marianne’s room quietly. When Marianne heard the knock, she was scared at first, wondering who it may be, but then she heard a
