Failed by Him. Wanted by Him Chapter 10
Julian's fingertips were slightly cold. They gently touched the skin on my neck.He held the raw crystal. His voice was low and trembling. "Elara, you are not magicless. The ancient bloodline flowing in you is extremely rare. It can soothe and withstand the violent dragon curse."He said my scent and bloodline originally awakened his sleeping mark."Then why didn't you just tell me!" I glared at him. My eyes burned."I didn't dare." The most terrifying boss in school looked like a child who made a mistake. He lowered his long eyelashes. His voice held a humble plea. "I was afraid you'd think I only approached you to break the curse. I was afraid you'd hate me. When you blocked me, I lost my mind. So I could only follow the method you mentioned to clear misunderstandings. Thick-skinned, staying by your side, step by step."I was stunned.Memories flooded back.Staying close in the dangerous Westwood forest. Clumsy testing in the high-end restaurant.And at the market. To save me, he tur

The next morning, my hangover felt like a troll was using my skull as a war drum.I rubbed my temples. I forced myself out of bed.Last night's terrifying scenes still played in my mind.Julian lost control completely to save me. Puking black blood. It made my chest tight.I had to go to his room to grab potion ingredients. To brew a pain-relief tonic for him.I just walked to his door. A sickening voice came from the crack."Professor Julian, I really didn't mean it..."It was Leo.His eyes were red. He complained to Julian like a caught thief.My anger instantly flared into an inferno. The string of reason snapped."Leo Vance, you disgusting liar!" I kicked the door open. I rushed right in. I jammed my finger at his chest and yelled.Both men in the room froze."Elara? What crazy fit are you throwing?" Leo stepped back in fear."Stop pretending!" My eyes were red. All my grievance and anger exploded. "I am the 'Light' you tricked for a year! You show off your three-year romance with

"Stay close to me." Julian's low voice was clear in the noise.The Moonlight Curio Market was packed.Weird magic items gave off creepy glows.Julian's massive body blocked the front.He used his massive frame to part the sea of people for me.He didn't hold my hand. He just hovered his arm protectively by my waist.That absolute control yet extreme restraint slowly broke down my defensive walls.In this dangerous underground market, with him by my side, I felt a fatal sense of safety.I even started drowning in the thrill of his total protection.Suddenly, a tragic roar tore through the market noise.The magic in the air boiled instantly."Run! The smuggled ancient beast broke out!"The crowd screamed in terror. They scattered madly.Stalls were smashed. Colorful potion bottles shattered everywhere.I turned back in shock.A high-level Shadow Beast, huge as a hill, broke free from a shattered cage.It reeked of sickening blood.Next second, it locked onto the weakest prey in the area.

"Professor, my inspection task is done. I'm going back." I turned cleanly."Hey! Elara, don't rush off!" Leo panicked. He frantically blocked me.He knew very well. If I left, Julian would give him a cold face. His perfect persona in front of his girlfriend would collapse.He needed me as a stepping stone to liven things up.I glared coldly at his desperate panic.Leo gritted his teeth. He made a huge decision and threw his trump card."Just stay and finish this walk with us. I'll lend you my rare Transfiguration manuscript to read!"I raised an eyebrow. That manuscript contained all the mandatory spells for finals.For the damn final grades, I took a deep breath. I stared dead at Leo's totally fake face.You want to use me as a prop? Fine. Let's see who burns first."Deal. It's a promise! But you better not regret keeping me here."Night fell. We dined at a tavern in Westwood.Under the dim candlelight, Chloe leaned sweetly against Leo. "Last month was our three-year anniversary. Leo

After calling him a jerk, I grabbed my bag and rushed out.I was ready for this dragon professor to blast me to dust with a killing curse.But he didn't.He just stood there. His massive body was stiff. An extremely heavy hurt crossed his eyes.Before I ran out the restaurant door, an irresistible force grabbed my wrist.Julian wordlessly pulled open the door of a wildly luxurious custom magic hovercar."Get in. It's too late. I'll take you back." His voice was tight, carrying an undeniable command.I bit my lip. I sat stiffly in the passenger seat.The car was frighteningly quiet.Suddenly, a melody drifted from the top-tier crystal speakers.Then, a female singer's tragic, sorrowful chant.The lyrics were all about betrayal, lies, and being ruthlessly abandoned by a lover.I widened my eyes in horror.The most cold-blooded, unapproachable iceberg professor was actually listening to cheap breakup songs?Julian's large, bony hands gripped the steering wheel tight."I was just misunder

I thought I had the wrong place.In the luxurious room, glowing fairy dust floated in the air.Warm, intimate light spilled on the deep red velvet carpet. This vibe was totally a carefully prepared date.Julian Thorne sat at the end of the long table.He took off his rigid black coat. He only wore a tailored dark shirt."Good evening, Elara." His voice was gentle and raspy. It held a trace of hidden tension."Professor, this is too expensive." I gripped my hem nervously. I didn't dare step forward."I arrived a few minutes early. Sit." He pointed to the seat across from him.I sat down stiffly.He snapped his fingers casually.The door opened. A line of waiters in tailcoats walked in.Silver platters were uncovered one by one.Mermaid Tear Cocktail. Fried Pixies.And a small dish of extremely expensive, top-tier Dragon Liver Pate.I stared dead at the food. My blood froze.These were extremely obscure, weird pairings.The deadliest part: it was exact.Just last week, I was too hungry t
