LOGINSolara’s pov “I hope she doesn’t pull that stupid stunt like the last time.” Mira said as we walked through the hallway. She isn’t over our last encounter with Elara when she said I wouldn’t perform with the team. But today.. If she decides to do the same, I wouldn’t let Mira go down with me. I’m off for my internship today even though the hockey team will be practicing. Freya said she would carry out their fitness test herself, and I can just focus on practicing with the cheerleading team. It’s really thoughtful of her. Freya doesn’t say a lot, but she observes. Although she didn’t ask why I didn’t perform with the cheerleaders the last time she probably felt it was because I was late, but I wasn’t. We pushed the door together and got into the locker room. “Hi girls..” We said as we made our way in. Most of the cheerleaders don’t like me, possibly because most of them are Iris's friends, but I get along well with the rest— Although, not enough for them to stand up for me.. the
Damon’s pov “There’s no fucking way you should be our coach when you have our opponent so close to you.” I knew he would be the first to speak, even if he didn't come for training.He’s been whining like a toddler since the beginning of this meeting, yet he intentionally put the team he says he cares so much about in a tough spot in the last match by backing out… Now I have one of my best players in injury, and I have to work with this asshole. “I don’t train players that aren’t confident in their skills.” I said simply. “Are you scared of competing with them?” I raised my brow. My eyes scan through the room filled with hockey players. “Hell no..” The players chant between themselves. “That’s more like it.” I said and walked away. I knew he was stalling and waiting for me to ask him in on the next match, but I guess the stunt he just came here to pull about how I shouldn’t coach the match didn’t go as planned for him. Now I see he’s fine even if I knew he was… he should dare
Solara pov “Camille..!!” She ran towards them and hugged her dad first before hugging her uncle. “Wow you are so beautiful and strong too.” The stranger standing beside Damon said as he smiled at Camille. The royal family must be wider than I thought. I never knew Damon had a brother, but he doesn’t look anything like him. He is younger and should be around my age or a little older. My gaze was fixed on him, and I blinked. Now that I look at his face more, he is getting familiar. Where have I seen this face? Just then Walter arrived and walked toward them. “Greetings Alpha.. Welcome master Henry.” Walter said as he bowed his head. He took a box from him, and excuses himself. That’s his name? Henry… I don’t know why I was stressing about it, but I have a strong feeling I know him. “I have to take this.” Damon pulled out his phone and walked away. “Come uncle, Lara and I made a cake..” Camille pulled his hand. “Oh that’s really thoughtful..” He smiled through his words. “Who’
Solara’s pov “Miss Camille is in the kitchen.” Walter said after we exchanged greetings. “She’s baking a cake..” He added. “Oh.. I guess I’ll just wait till she is done.” I said with a small smile. I never knew Camille could bake. “You could go join her, you know..” Walter suggested. I would lie if I say I am not a bit curious. I was going to decline, but then I remembered I’m not just her tutor anymore but also her guardian. I should try putting in the effort to get to know her on a normal basis outside academic knowledge right…. That’s what guardians do. “Sure.. Thank you.” I bowed my head slightly at Walter. It seemed he was waiting for my reply. I’ve been to the kitchen before so I know exactly where it is. I was just a few steps to the entrance and I could already pick up the sweet scent and vanilla and chocolate. “Woah..” my jaw dropped at the sight. Camille was all covered in baking flour.“Oily.. let it go..” She was dragging a pack of flour with him. I wasn’t sure what
Solara’s pov “It’s not what..” I bit my tongue as a result of the thundering sound from the impact of her palm coming in contact with my face. I stood star-stuck. “How dare you..” Her eyes glared at me with a dark shade of green and her voice low and threatening. The corner of my eyes gathered tears from the pain, but I wasn’t going to cry. I clenched my fist tightly with barely resisted rage. I could feel my finger digging into my skin as I tried so hard to hold back and not result to violence— she’s in her right. I didn’t alter a single word.. I picked up my bag and I just walked past… I made my way out of there. If Lucas hadn’t showed up to my house drunk, then his mate wouldn’t have slapped me across the face. It hurts.. and I still taste the blood in my mouth from bitting my tongue, she didn’t even give me the chance to speak. ———Nyra’s pov “That fucking bitch..!” I cleared everything on the table next to me, to the ground. “Fuck..!!” I regretted my actions immediately
Solara’s pov “I don’t want a new tutor dad.. I want Lara.” She repeated herself. My heart melted at Camille’s words. I wasn’t sure what to say. “I think I should leave.” Elena said with a smile. She didn’t seem to be hurt by Camille’s words. “I’ve been around kids for long, and I can attest that they really know what they want.” She added. “Elena..” My voice came out as a whisper. She turned to face me. “I’ve seen the way you both look at each other. If there’s a way for you to stay please fix it. For now I’ll leave.” She said politely and she was really kind with her words. She bowed her head and excused herself. My heart tightened when she spoke earlier, but she seems really at peace. “Camille..” Damon softly looked at his daughter. Her face had a little stress. It seems like it was eating her up all these while, and she finally found her voice to speak.“Why don’t you go with Walter for a while” Damon added, his gaze fell on Walter giving him the silent gesture to take her
