I am extremely furious, my blood is boiling in my body, and my heart is beating super fast—not with fear but with extreme anger, ready to dish out and release a piece of my mind towards that bastardly and conniving fellow whom I want to meet right now.I have gone through the most painful, dreaded experience of taking public transport, which I have actually been trying to avoid for ages now, and it is all because of him. It is all his fucking fault. I seriously cannot wait to meet him right now so I can give him a piece of my mind."Why the hell would he just leave me like that? Okay, I understand I must have actually done something to get him a little bit hurt, but he shouldn't have just abandoned me, not after everything," I mutter to myself."Yeah, after everything, and you still treated him as though he was a piece of shit," my mind speaks to me, and I close my eyes tight, biting hard against my bottom lip as I struggle to neglect the torment
Damon's POV "So what do you mean to tell me? You've been finding it extremely hard to stop thinking of her, and all you feel is the need to just be with her?" Ryan's voice rings in my head as I take out one of my books and begin to scan through it, trying my very best to neglect whatever question he is asking me. But why the hell am I being extremely stupid? I am the one who prepared myself to reveal my biggest secret to him, and now I am trying my best to avoid his question. This is just an extremely difficult situation. I don't even know what to think to myself right now as I chuckle and shake my head before returning the book back to its place. I shut the locker immediately and took hold of the handle of my backpack, exhaling deeply and returning my focus back to him with a raised eyebrow. It is at that point in time that I realize he is actually struggling to control himself from laughing
When I realize that nobody is close to me, I am forced to stand by the entrance of my classroom, gripping tightly against my bag, looking around me with confusion."What the hell was that?" I wonder to myself and brush my fingers through my hair, trying to adjust myself and recollect my composure.Then I exhale and take a deep breath, about to step into the class that has already begun.As usual, everybody's attention is drawn to me, and most of the girls begin to adjust themselves as if trying to get my attention, but all this is not what is in my mind right now."You're late once again, Mr. Damon," the instructor, Mr. Martins, says, and I chuckle before shaking my head and neglecting his comment while heading over towards my seat."I thought you should have gotten used to it by now, sir," I tell him, and everybody in the class chuckles and gasps at my audacity."I know you're feeling this big because of your status as
He turns to look at me with strong disdain."You are still even trying to resist even after the wrong you did? Oh, I promise you, you are so going to regret being this foolish!" he screams loudly and struggles to take hold of my hand.It is at that point in time that my wolf finally loses control, and I glare at the ground, avoiding to look up at anyone as I see complete red.I guess at this point in time my supernatural glowing blood-red alpha eyes have already been revealed, but I'm struggling my possible best not to look up so that everyone will not see it.Then the next word I hear is "mate" and my body suddenly loses control.Something is wrong with Serena. That thought suddenly whispers into my mind, and it forces me to bite down hard against my bottom lip.The pain I am feeling right now is not mine—it is hers.My body begins to tremble and extreme fear begins to rock through my senses.Mr. Mart
Don't tell me Isabella had to resort to the use of her dark magic to attack Serena right now?The thought of that is making my brain begin to burn ceaselessly in my head.All the students surrounding us are suddenly quiet, and they are gaping at me with surprise, wondering what the hell is going on.They were probably not expecting that I was going to be here trying my best to ensure that Serena is okay.No wonder they neglected the fact that I came here and didn't even bother to look at me or even be scared when I showed up.They thought I was going to contribute to the insanity they are doing right now.Good goddess, I can't even begin to explain how I feel.I feel like bringing the entire building down. I feel like turning everything into rubble."There is nothing to worry about, Damon, okay? Don't worry, she is just pretending, and I can guarantee you that she might not actually be able to get you
I take a deep breath and try my best to relax before ignoring them and heading over towards Serena's body."Forget about it, help me up here. Let's take her quickly to the sick bay."They all stare at me with complete shock before glancing at their surroundings, wondering what the hell had happened.But within a few minutes, they finally succumb and assist me in lifting up Serena's body.It's not like I can't carry her alone right now, but I have already been weakened by the extreme anger and annoyance I felt few minutes ago, and now that I have managed to calm down, it's already taking its toll on me, draining about 70% of my strength.Few minutes later, we are finally at the sick bay, and we hand Serena over to the doctor in charge who promises to look into her and ensure that she is in perfect state of health.I finally relax against one of the chairs in the waiting area as Brian and Ryan stand before me, folding the

Serena's POVI suddenly feel the intense desire to unleash a heavy sneeze from my nose, and it forces me to quickly get up from the bed. Using my left hand to obstruct my nose, I sneeze loudly, but then an extreme sharp pain fills my head, forcing me to wince and fall back down against the bed, groaning out and struggling to regain control of myself."What the hell happened?" I wonder to myself before slowly opening my eyes to behold my surroundings.I am lying down on a bed, so I glance around what appears to be a hospital, with the bright lights on the ceiling flashing into my eyes, almost blinding me.I quickly squint my eyelids before blinking rapidly and looking around me."How the hell did I get here?" I wonder to myself, still thinking and feeling sleepy when everything finally flushes back into my memory.Isabella.Isabella was the one who did this to me. I was trying to head to class, and then she atta
SERENA'S POVI'm surrounded.Not by enemies, not by anything dangerous—well, not in the usual sense of supernatural threats that have become my unwelcome norm. Instead, I'm surrounded by four armed boarding guards stationed strategically throughout the school hallway as if I'm a high-profile political target under imminent threat of assassination. Their vigilant eyes scan everyone who walks by with clinical precision, their postures rigid as steel beams, their expressions ice-cold and perpetually alert, betraying nothing but absolute focus on their singular mission: keeping me "safe."And I am absolutely fuming.I clutch my notebooks to my chest with white-knuckled fingers, trying desperately to breathe past the tightness constricting my throat like an invisible hand. The weight of so many watchful gazes—both the guards' and the curious students'—presses down on me, making the hallway feel smaller with each passing second. I look at the guards again, scattered along the corridor like
The forest is unnaturally still, as if the very air has frozen in anticipation of some unspeakable event.Thick, serpentine mist coils around the gnarled roots of ancient trees as Isabella moves deeper into the woods at the far end of the city, her long dark gown trailing like spilled ink over the carpet of dead leaves. The fabric whispers against the forest floor, a sound too delicate for the malevolence that radiates from her slender form. Shadows crowd her from every angle, pressing against her skin like curious spectators, but she doesn't flinch. Not tonight. The searing pain in her chest is too consuming, drowning out all lesser fears.She grits her teeth, jaw muscles flexing visibly beneath her pale skin, each step sharp with fury and frustration that pulses from her like a beacon. The forest itself seems to shy away from her presence, branches curling back as she passes.Her mind, restless and raw, replays the moment again and again in vivid, excruciating detail—Serena suspende
SERENA'S POVI'm falling.There's no wind, no gravity—just this endless, sickening drop into a black pit that stretches forever beneath me. My arms flail wildly, desperate fingers grasping at empty air, seeking something, anything to halt my descent. But there's nothing. Just darkness so complete it seems to devour even the concept of light.I scream.No sound comes out. My vocal cords strain against the silence, but the void swallows every vibration before it can form into something real.I twist my body, neck craning painfully as I search frantically for a ledge, a crack, a single handhold in this endless darkness. Still nothing. Just me and the hungry void, its maw opened wide to consume me whole. Panic squeezes my lungs with iron bands, my chest burning with a helplessness so profound it feels like drowning on dry land. Then—A light.Far off, warm and pulsing like a heartbeat. Golden threads of hope in an ocean of despair. I reach for it with everything I have, muscles straining
The dust has barely settled, hanging suspended in beams of fractured light that pierce through the collapsed sections of ceiling.The building is a shell of what it was—walls cracked and splintered like brittle bones, furniture reduced to unrecognizable ruins, and the air heavy with the acrid sting of scorched magic that burns the nostrils with every breath. Ancient power lingers, a toxic residue clinging to every surface. But Frederick's eyes aren't on the wreckage surrounding them. They're locked on Serena—his daughter, his blood—with an intensity that could burn through steel.She lies still, her body cradled in Luna's arms like something precious and broken beyond repair. Her skin is ghostly pale against the dark fabric of Luna's clothes, her chest rising and falling in uneven rhythms. Luna kneels beside them, her slender hands hovering just above Serena's face, fingertips trembling with concentration. Her lips move in silent incantations—ancient words passed down through generati
DAMON'S POVEveryone's watching me.The silence is brutal, like a noose tightening around my neck with each passing second. I feel eyes cutting into me from every direction—some curious and probing, some coldly judgmental, some downright suspicious and calculating. They're all waiting for me to speak, to break this suffocating quiet. Waiting for me to confirm what they're already whispering in their heads: that something's going on between me and Serena. Something deeper, more forbidden than politics or pack obligations could ever explain.And they're right. Of course they're right. But I can't say it. Not like this, not with my father's penetrating gaze boring holes through my skull.It feels like I'm trapped in a damn cage constructed of expectations and traditions, and every breath is getting harder to take, like the oxygen is being sucked from the room. My chest tightens painfully against my ribs. I have so much I want to say—to shout, even. To tell my father that this is what the
The silence after Damon's outburst is thick. Heavy. It clings to the ruins around them like toxic smoke, suffocating and inescapable. Chunks of concrete and twisted metal lie scattered across what was once a pristine beautiful mansion meant for Damon and Serena's supposedly honeymoon, now a battlefield graveyard. The destruction feels almost alive—a silent witness to the confrontation unfolding in its midst. Mobius doesn't speak right away. He just stares at his son, not with rage or offense—but something infinitely worse. Amusement. A slow, almost indulgent smirk curls across his aristocratic face, the kind of expression one might wear while watching a child throw a tantrum in the middle of a royal hall. His eyes, cold and calculating as winter midnight, scan Damon with clinical detachment, as if trying to decide whether this unprecedented display of defiance was brave… or just pathetically human. The contempt in his gaze is unmistakable—centuries of unquestioned authority compre
Mobius isn't done.Even as Eleanor's words still hang in the air, sharp as blades and weighted with defiance, Mobius steps forward with deliberate menace. His aristocratic features twist into something primally cruel and determined—an expression that has made empires crumble over centuries of his immortal existence. His eyes narrow, cold as winter midnight, and he looks ready to strike—not with claws or fangs, but with words sharpened by centuries of unbending pride and unyielding conviction. His piercing gaze stays fixed on Eleanor like she's a persistent stain he intends to scrub out of the conversation—and possibly existence—entirely."You mortals," he says low, venom curling on his tongue with each syllable, his voice resonating with the dangerous harmonics of ancient power, "forget yourselves too easily. Your lifespans are mere eyeblinks in the cosmic timeline, yet you presume to under
A heavy silence hangs over the wreckage, oppressive and thick like a burial shroud. Dust still dances in the air, countless microscopic particles suspended in time, glowing faintly under the silver fingers of the full moon that stretch across the devastation. And in the middle of it all, Eleanor stands like a flame refusing to flicker out—small yet unmistakably bright against the backdrop of destruction.Everyone is watching her now—Serena's mother, the only mortal in this war-torn circle of supernatural power. Her jaw is tight, muscles visibly clenching beneath her skin; her eyes burning with an outrage that cuts deeper than any magic ever could. The pulse at her throat beats rapidly, betraying the adrenaline coursing through her veins, yet her stance remains unwaveringly steady."You're all arguing?" she says, voice trembling with restrained fury that threatens to break free with each syllable. "Stil
The dust hasn't even settled, still hanging thick in the air like a mourning shroud over what once stood proud and tall.Chunks of concrete lie like carcasses across the compound, jagged and lifeless; twisted steel rods jut from the ruins like broken bones piercing through torn flesh. Smoke curls up into the thick night sky, thick and slow, carrying the scent of destruction with it. And in the middle of this apocalyptic landscape stands Elder Mobius. Damon's father. His sharp eyes—cold as winter frost—sweep the wreckage, not with horror or concern, but with a calculating gaze that assesses value and loss. Like he's watching a fortune vanish before his eyes, each crumbled wall representing nothing but diminished assets.Not a word about Damon. Not a flicker of concern for his own flesh and blood."What the hell happened here?" Mobius demands, voice laced with fury that rises like th
