I’ll report this to Headmistress Adelaide before the first bell rings.” I threatened, and they froze. My heart skipped a beat when they turned to look at me, their faces looking scared. “You're going to report us to the headmistress?” The blonde girl in front asked, looking scared, and I nodded. “Yes. Let's see what she thinks about how you trespassed into my room and recorded my private conversation. I guess Yvonne will save you from being punished,” I continued with forced bravado, my face solemn. Apart from the blonde girl, who seemed to be their leader, there were two other brunettes, and their hairstyles, as well as the way they wore their uniforms down to their shoes, matched.It was then that I noticed they even looked alike—they were twins. The three of them
Olivia Silas slowly lifted himself off me, but my hand had already moved; it harshly connected with his cheek, slapping him hard across the face. I wanted to slap myself for what I had done, my hands shamefully pulling on my robes to cover myself. This was truly awful, appalling! It went against all my life's teachings. I should be punished for committing such an atrocious deed. However, the pain in my fingers brought my thoughts to a screeching halt when I realized what I had done. Did I just slap Alpha Silas? Why wasn't my head rolling off my shoulders? What was he going to do to me? Would he kill me? I instinctively drag myself on the mattress away from him, panicking. I was scared to even look at him without knowing what to expect. “Olivia…” he called out, but I frantically shook my head. “No, don't come near me. Stay away from me,” I hiss, dragging myself on the bed to put distance between us. “Olivia, stop. I won’t hurt you, okay… look at me… Calm down, alright? I won't
Silas watched her pupils widen, and he wondered if she felt it too, the pull that dragged them toward each other like a force older than either of them. The atmosphere charged like electricity around them, and he felt her breasts pressed against him, separated by nothing but her thin bathrobe, a fabric so soft that it clung to her curves. He noticed the strings holding the robe together tremble with every breath she took, and fuck… He knew he could snap them with a single tug, but he hesitated. He gulped, fighting the dark possessive instincts that have ruled his entire life. Thorne roared in his head, “Take what you want. Claim what is ours.” Yet she lay there warm and trembling on top of him, and he could not bring himself to force a single thing on her. The realization unsettled him more than his desire did. He wanted to kiss her. He craved the taste of her lips so much that it hurt. He should not hesitate, because he never has before, but the idea of her recoiling f
“Alpha Silas, wh…what are you doing here?” I asked, trying to mask the look of fear on my face. After everything I learned about him, it wasn't a surprise that his mere presence scared me. “You don't want me here,” he said, as if he was sure of it. “Why? I wanted to see for myself how you're doing. I saved your life, little bird… I'm hurt.” His voice sounded displeased, and his eyes looked… hurt? I gulped, hurriedly shaking my head to deny his words, feeling guilty… and still scared. “I—I didn't… I was planning on finding you tomorrow to thank you for saving me and also to return your coat,” I lied smoothly, surprising even myself, and adding an extra bright smile to make it more believable. “Why don't I believe you?” He murmured, tilting his head as he studied me like a puzzle and taking a step toward me. However, damn my reflexes, I took a step back to create more space between us. “Are you scared of me?” He asked, his tone dripping with displeasure, and I frantically shook
My concentration was on Katherine’s disappearing back and the words she just whispered that I didn't realize Nikolas had come to stand behind me. “You shouldn't be here by this time of night,” he whispered, and I whipped around, bumping into him. I flusteredly tried to avoid leaning on him by taking a step back, but I found myself falling. However, in the next second, strong hands wrapped around me to steady me. I found myself staring into his alluring green eyes that had turned dark but were gleaming under the night sky and gulped. He was much bigger than I was, and he held me with such confidence, as if it were his right. It also didn't help that his scent of cotton candy, chamomile, and summer wind, which was invading my senses, felt soothing. It was subtle, like fresh sheets warmed by the sun, with a mischievous sweetness that draws people in. I didn't know how long we were both staring into each other's eyes, with our lips so close and our breaths mingling that it was a
I shut my eyes and opened them again, but the writing on the mirror refused to disappear. The dripping red letters looked like blood under the light, and each drop felt like it was echoing inside my chest. I stood there, frozen, trying to breathe while Chloe stood quietly beside me. She looked equally shaken, if not more. “Liv, who did this? Oh my goodness, we have to report it,” she finally said, breaking the silence. I shook my head before I even understood why. My fingers were numb, and my lips felt stiff as I tried to form words. “Someone was in here. Someone knew I would come back right now. Chloe, they want me out.” My voice wavered. I hated that it did. It was just my first day here, yet here I was, trembling in my room as if the ground under my feet had turned to ice. Chloe stepped closer and touched my arm gently. “We can go to the headmistress. Or security. You shouldn't deal with something like this on your own.” I tried to focus on her voice, but my gaze kept dr
