LOGINMIA“Esme, I can't concentrate. I can't even pretend like I understand what I'm reading. This whole thing is too hard. How did you understand it?”She laughed and looked over at me, dropping the plate of grapes on the bed. “It was really hard because the calculations alone proved really are but asides that, it should be really easy for you to handle.”Well, it was the calculations I didn't understand. Any other thing would be a breeze. Finally, I came out of my took before Xavier or my father went to extreme lengths to wake me up. They joy on their faces couldn't be faked and I wished that I'd come out earlier but it was needed that I took some time off for myself. According to what I hear, Xerxes is doing very fine and he will soon be released to go home. He's responding very well to treatment and they're trying to get him cleared. As if my life hadn't been hard enough, Esme came visiting when I woke up to tell me that Mid-Terms were soon. “How soon?” “Next week soon.”Next wee
MIANaturally, it was a good thing to be alive, to be able to wake up from whatever slumber you shd succumbed to. But when you were someone like me that had passed out multiple time after hitting her and body on several tough surfaces, it began to seem like a curse to actually wake up from unvoncuousness. Why couldn't I jjst rest? It's not like j would get some time off to live a happy life. Somethong or someone always had to come up and make my life a living hell and I'd end duo wishing that if just died in my unckncuous state. What a waste. I remained still in bed, letting my eyes do all the movement and my ears figure out my surrounding. More than ever, I wmated to be alone and not have peioke crowd over me Luke they had been doing for the past few days. I handt been concious but I could feel the suffocation of not being alone at any minute. The fact that I didn't like people that much probably made things worse. Just being alone right now gave me time to clear my head. My hea
XAVIERThe brushing on her face had reduced and so had the scratches on her body. She looked gentle in her sleep that had lasted three days. The doctor said she had internal bleeding and she would have bled out if we hadn't done something quick. The good news was that she was out of the woods now and she would be fine very soon. Gosh, how I could really do with some good news. Another good news was that my uncle was doing much better and he would soon be out of the hospital. Kaan said he was up and running again but the doctors didn't think they were making any sense so they wanted to keep him around to monitor him. Of course that would be weird for them but they'd deal with it.Mia had given him a chance to live again. A chance that evil modern medicine hadn't. I'd like to see Williams' face now that she has succeeded.I had so much joy that everything had worked out. She truly had the last laugh. “She's still asleep, huh?” I stopped thinking and turned around to see her dad, r
THIRD PERSON POVMia was still on the ground. The force was enough to knock any normal person out and give them a concussion for days but not Mia Winston. Pain rippled through Mia's body, and for a couple of moments, she remained still, trying to think of her next plan. Elara was right beside her, calling out her name, thinking that she had been wiped out but no matter how bad she felt, Outside, all of them gathered, including William who was still foaming at the mouth. He sat on the chair, his elbows resting on his knees, while he looked at his siblings with spite. Kaan, Andrea and Xavier all waited at the door, their ears close to the door, trying to get a picture of what was going on outside. The entire floor was closed off to outsiders except nurses and doctors so they didn't have to worry about outside noise. When they all heard the crash, they stepped back and Xavier's hand immediately went to the door handle, trying to burst into the room and save her. Kaan was there to s
MIAAll the curtains had been dropped and the windows were down. Xerxes lay still on the bed, his breathing even, letting the pot of liquid on his chest rise and fall slowly. His eyes were closed as if he was expecting what was to come, having accepted his fate. Elara was still in the corner. “Do you know what to do first?” To the best of my knowledge, just say the words and let the spirit do its thing. She took my silence for a no. “Place your hand on his chest so you can feel it's movement. If it's moving, then it means it's very active. If it's not, that means it's strength is out.”I walked over to the side of the bed and places my hand on his chest and just one second later, I withdrew it with such speed that scared even me. “What is it? What's the wrong?” “It's moving, it's moving fast. It's generating heat from the inside, it's like he's about to combust.” Hearing that last part, Xerxes's eyes flew open but he didn't move. My attention went back to Elara. “That mean
MIAEveryone was in the room, everyone that was important in what was going on. The room was tensioned and very quiet due to the amount of thoughts that were presently going through everyone's brains. But how could it not? Well, one person wasn't thinking. “Still beats how out of everyone in this room, including you Xerxes, you'd actually buy into the bullshit this kid is saying. I mean, how could you believe what she said just because she's done one or two little tricks? Anyone with access to a spell book can do the stupid shit she did. But cancer? He'll, not even the doctors could fix you so what makes you think this kid will?” Andrea stepped in, putting her hand on his shoulder to stop him but he pushed it away. “Leave me the hell alone. It's cancer, not a little cut. I thought you wanted to die earlier. Why change your mind when you have a few days left? I'm sure she has a motive for doing this. It just sickens me that I'm the only one left here with a brain that actually work
CHAPTER 78: HeatMIAXavier kissed my forehead before he left. “I need to go to the back for our weekly pack run. I’ll be back in a few hours.”“Okay.” I was still half asleep, I barely understood what I said. His cologne covered me for a moment before he pressed a quick kiss to my lips. His finger
MIAI was standing in a field I’d never seen before. Tall grass brushed against my bare legs, the blades soft and cool. Moonlight painted everything silver, making the whole place look like something out of a fairytale.“Mia.” I turned sharply at the sound of my name. Looking for where the sound wa
MIAWe barely made it through the door before Xavier’s mouth was on mine. I heard the door lclick shut but didn’t bother to check how he did it. His hands were already gripping my waist, pulling me against him. I made a sound in the back of my throat, my fingers already working at his shirt.“Mia.”
XAVIERFalcon’s words wouldn’t stop playing in my head hours later. I stood alone in the hallway after she left, my fists clenched so tight my nails were cutting crescents into my palms. Blood would probably follow soon. My wolf was thrashing inside me, clawing at my ribs like he could tear through
