I flipped open my notebook when my history professor walked in. As usual, he scribbled his name on the board before turning to face us. Mr. Anges slowly looked over his class, eyes widening when he got to our little section in the back. “Mr. Vasiliás? It is nice to see you again. I wasn’t aware that you and your friends were taking this class.” Axel grunted. Mr. Anges turned his attention to me, eyes hardening into a glare. “Miss. Roi. Are you sure you want to sit there? That isn’t your regular seat-”“She’s fine where she is.” Axel interrupted. “Are sure Mr. Vasiliás-”“I said-” Lips curling into a sneer as his eyes flashed a dangerous red, “she’s fine where she is. Now teach your fucking lesson before I teach you a lesson.”Mr. Anges quickly turned to face the board, hand reaching to grab a marker to scribble our lesson on the board. His fingers knocked against the red marker he was reaching for, knocking it to the ground. He scrambled down to the floor, snatching the marker from
“Vixen. Grayson. Take Aurora away from here.”I shot my head up. Why do I need to leave? Did I do something wrong?“A-Axel?” I questioned, looking at him. My eyes widen at how he looks. He looked so angry. It was terrifying. And hot. His jaw was clenched, red eyes blazing angrily in a heated glare, and his fist was clenched. I gulped nervously, timidly reaching a hand out to poke his arm. “Axel?”“Its okay baby. Just go with Vixen and Grayson.” He gave me a quick soft glance before turning his dangerous gaze back to Mr. Anges. “I’ll be with you in a few.” I didn’t argue, letting Grayson lead me out of the classroom. I really wanted to stay in the classroom to see what he would do. Blame it on my natural curiosity. Blame it on my not wanting to leave Axel side. It was because I was nosy. “Why don’t we get something to eat while Axel does what he does?” Grayson suggested, skipping down the hall. “I could go for a hamburger or ramen or both.”Food does sound good by now. I co
“This is why I hate people. They are nothing but annoying useless tools that get in my way.” Vixen grumbled out angrily, sitting me down in a seat. She plopped down beside me, giving me a glance. “You seem different, though. Your soul is pure yet you’ve been through some shit. Like bad shit.”“E-Everybody goes through b-bad s-stuff.” I responded. I began to nervously fiddling with my shirt, gnawing on my bottom lip as her glance turned into a heated stare. I don’t like talking about my past. About the stuff that has happened to me. I continued, hoping the staring would stop. “It’s l-life. T-That happens you k-know?”“Oh yeah. I know.”It turned silent between us. A comfortable silence that kind of soothed my nervous form. Vixen scares me. Scares me more than most people. Not more than Axel does. Something about him terrifies me yet made me feel happy, loved even. But she does scare me. Yet being around her made me feel comfortable and safe. It's weird. Being around these new people
Aurora pov:The rest of my classes went by uneventful. I was too busy waiting for something bad to happen to actually pay attention to any of my professors. I’m pretty sure some of them noticed, but didn’t bother to say anything because of Axel. Speaking of Axel, I shyly glanced over at said……..man. Though I’m scared he was playing around with me, I couldn’t help but to notice how manly he is. His huge body sat relaxed in the small chair. The hoodie he was wearing did no justice hiding his muscular arms and chest. It looks like if he flexed once he would rip his hoodie.My face heated slightly as I continued to stare. I really shouldn’t stare. It wasn’t polite and he might get mad at me.I quickly face forward again, trying to get back into my work. With him still on my mind, I knew it would be pointless for me to try to finish whatever work I had left. I would have to do it later. Plus class was about to end soon. There really wasn’t a point to try and continue it. I slowly began t
Axel POV:“O-Okay. I think my beef stew is r-ready.” I watched as she grabbed two large bowls, scooping white rice into both bowls before pouring in the beef stew. The stew soaked into the white rice as the seasoned meat and vegetables mixed along the rice. It smelled as good as it looked. “I made you a b-bowl too.” She pushed one of the large bowls to me and handed me a spoon. The professor, seeing that Aurora was done with her cooking, began to make her way over to us. “Thank you Aurora.” I didn’t waste any time digging into my mates' food. I meantally groaned at the delicious taste of the meal she prepared. I don’t think I’ve tasted anything better before. The richness of the stew, mixed well with the seasoned beef, vegetables, and buttery rice. I swallowed, “Everything tasted amazing baby. So proud of you.”“It’s n-nothing really.” She waved off my compliment with a shy smile.“It’s not nothing Aurora. You are talented when it comes to culinary arts. One of my most prominent stu
Axel POV:It didn’t take long for Aurora and I to reach the library. I opened the door for her, and closely followed her inside to where she preferred to sit. After a few minutes of walking and occasional turns, I couldn’t help but to happily perk up when she led me towards a tablet that was tucked in the back, away from the annoying people and prying eyes. Though it was a table that could easily hold a few people, it was private enough that I knew we could get away with certain things if Aurora was quiet enough.I quietly scoffed, even if she was loud, who would dare try and stop what we were doing. As if anyone would, or could, do anything about it. “D-Did you want t-to s-sit somewhere e-else?” Aurora ask me, pausing in front of a chair that I assume she usually sits at. “W-We d-don’t-”I pulled out the chair, shushing my mate while gently guiding her to sit down. “Sitting here is more than fine, baby girl. I prefer sitting here rather than being out there. It’s more private and qu
I opened my mouth, brain searching for something to say to that. When my mind continues to produce nothing, still too stunned to wrap my head around to what he said to me, I immediately turn my attention to my snack. I quickly stuffed a few grapes into my mouth, trying to distract myself from his heated gaze. “Such a shy princess,” Axel purred in my ear. “Is my princess thinking about us? Are you thinking about the pleasure I can give. I could have you withering underneath me, screaming my name while I-”“Grilled cheese!” I interrupted, not being able to take anymore teasing. I hope that the mention of food will completely change the topic. Plus, I’ve been craving curly fries and a grilled cheese sandwich for the past hour now. Might as well should bring up what I want now.Eyebrow arching high, his seductive mood quickly disappeared. “Grilled cheese? Do you want a grilled cheese sandwich? Are you hungry?”I nodded, finishing off the last bit of my green fruit. The last time I ate wa
I’m a loner. It’s something that I’ve decided is best for myself until I can start trusting people again. It’s something that I’ve grown used to. Something that I grew to like through my years of not having any close friends or boyfriends. It wasn’t like I didn’t like people. I just didn’t trust them. The only people I can blindly trust without a second thought are my grandparents. They were there for me when I was at my lowest. When I wanted to do everything in my power to end it all, they pushed me to keep fighting. They pushed me to not give up. That if things went tough, to turn to those who love you. They showed me that I wasn’t as worthless as I thought. They showed me that my life isn’t over because of them. I still had a future. I still had promise. “Sure you're a little broken Aurora,” My grandmother would tell me whenever I was in one of my depressing moods, “You just need a little time, sweetheart. No one is expecting you to be perfectly fine so soon after everyth
