LOGINKardor’s point of viewShe blocked me.I stared at the screen for a long moment, the last message sat there unanswered, unread, and dismissed.It failed to deliver.I set the phone down on the desk, picked it up again and set it down. A slow exhale left my chest, I was trying to be calm. I refused to let the anger get a complete hold of me.Zeth was leaning in the doorway of my room with an expression that was doing an extremely poor job of concealing the fact that he found this situation entertaining.“Say it,” I said.“I haven’t said anything,” he replied.“But you are thinking loudly.”“She blocked you,” he finally said, the entertainment was no longer concealed at all.“A twenty one year old literature student from Obsidian Academy blocked the son of the Blood King.”“I am aware of what happened Zeth.”“Well, I just want to make sure we are both clear on the specifics.” he said. “For historical accuracy.”I looked at him, he looked back at me with those pale eyes.“How did you eve
Leila’s point of viewI ran, I didn’t stop until I left the surroundings of his suite. Then I pressed my back against the wall, trying to catch my breath. My heart was slamming against my ribs while my hands were shaking slightly.He kissed me.Without asking. Without anything resembling permission, he had taken it the way someone took something they already decided belonged to them. And the worst part of it was that I didn’t refuse it, I liked it. I enjoyed the feel of his lips on mine, it’s infuriating and confusing because I don’t want to like it.It makes me feel uncomfortable. And why did I have the ‘butterflies in the belly’ kind of feelings. I fucking felt butterflies floating in my belly, I have read about this in books and I felt it for the first time today.“Oh dear, it’s real. That tingling sensation is real.” I whispered to myself.Your apology is not accepted. I will be taking something…. Those words made me shiver.“ Is he going to kiss me everyday until he decides it’s
Zeth’s point of viewThe door shut behind us with a quiet click, Roberto didn’t move further into the room. He lingered just inside the threshold, shoulders slightly drawn in, like he was trying to take up less space than he naturally did.His eyes avoided mine, it was fixed on the floor. For some reasons, that made me irrationally jealous of the floor.“Take your shirt off.” I instructed, calmly. I have noticed he doesn’t like aggressive tone. I gathered the ointments we use for pain relief back at home. They were rare and expensive, but I didn’t mind using them on him. His bruises needed attention, even if the academy had its own medical provisions.“Why?” He asked.“Because I want to see the full extent of the bruises, if you fractured anything during the fall I need to know before tomorrow’s session.He obeyed, he pulled the shirt over his head with quiet efficiency, he folded it and set it aside neatly. I watched him more closely than necessary.“Come over here.” I said, gesturi
Leila’s point of viewMy brain literally stopped working.“Oh my goodness!”“What the….” He stopped“Zeth!”“That fucking idiot!” He cussed.The way he kept cussing shows this was not the first time Zeth had done this kind of thing.“I didn’t know… I…. I…. I thought…. I didn’t….”I couldn’t even find the right words to say, I knew I have to run, I have to make it to the door as soon as possible.My eyes were still covered with my hands, I began to back away toward the door, suddenly my heel caught the edge of a low table, my arms spread out reflexively to catch my balance. His hand was there, catching my wrist before I could fall, he did this fast and effortlessly.He pulled me with ease and my back hit the wall before I could say jack. I gasped.“Zeth. I’m going to kill that bastard.” He muttered under his breath. My heart was racing fast, I kept my eyes shut tightly as I thought of the best possible ways to escape from him.“I didn’t intend to….. I’m so sorry…. I just.. I came…” I s
Leila’s point of viewThe training ground emptied slowly, no one spoke to me, they didn’t have to. I could feel it in the way they avoided my eyes, the way conversations dropped when I passed. Tension clung to the air.It was like I challenged them, and now the consequences was hanging over everyone. Within minutes it was just Roberto and I, he actually stayed beside me till the last of the students left. The barbarians were on the far side of the ground, they were having a discussion.“Leila.” Roberto said beside me.“I know….” I drawled out, knowing what he was about to say.“What you said…”“Roberto, I know.” I cut him off.He pressed his lips together, I knew he was deciding if it was okay to say the rest of what he was thinking.“You don’t have to do this.” He said quietly.“I do and you know that.” I replied.We waited, I was entirely sure of what I was waiting for, I just want them to acknowledge me.“Come on.” I said to Roberto as I walked towards them.Kardor stood near the f
Leila’s point of viewShe shoved my shoulder again, trying to knock me off balance. I adjusted, digging my feet into the ground and forcing myself to stay upright.This was punishment, not training, pain spread through my muscles, settling deep into my legs. My thighs began to tremble. I clenched my jaw and held position even though every instinct screamed at me to move….. to straighten and ease the strain.But I didn’t, even though it was getting harder. Forty minutes in and I was breathing harder, around me I could hear heavy breathing, small grunts and the sound of bodies shifting under pressure.Suddenly, someone fell.Roberto.My body reacted before my mind could catch up.“Roberto!” I rushed forward, dropping beside him.He was already trying to push himself up, his movement quick, almost embarrassing. His hair had already fallen into his face, and his breathing was uneven.“I’m fine,” he whispered, not meeting my eyes.“You are not fine.” I said, grabbing his arm to steady him,
Bruno’s point of viewI don’t get tired easily, not from work and not from shedding blood. It wasn’t dawn yet, it was just close to dawn. We spent most of the night going at it like rabbits on heat. I was still wide awake, still wired and was watching her.She lay sprawled across the bed like she o
Bruno’s point of viewShe goes still beneath me, I felt her body relax, that was how I knew she was gone. Sleep took a total hold of her, it dragged her under and her breathing evens out too fast. Her body slacks with exhaustion. I pull back and moved to the edge of the bed, my elbows braced on my
Isabella’s point of viewIt’s been four days, almost a week since I saw him, my husband. He was avoiding me, he hasn’t showed up in our room since he took my virginity, maybe me being a virgin scared him away. I am not a virgin anymore, but him avoiding me makes me feel I have some sort of disease
DiegoCarlos’s body was found in the garden at the east path, he had been left with a crushed skull and a blood stained note flapping in the air, whoever did this wanted it to be personal and loud.I went there myself to take in every detail, his body laid there cold. I took the sight in, letting m
