- KILLIAN -An excruciating groan slid out of Marino's mouth as I place the third bloody pair of teeth on a metal tray. He's not talking. I will soon make him. "Still not ready to utter a word?" I ask, holding his head up to look at me by grabbing his short hair in my hand and squeezing my fist. "You're a fool to think I will." He said with a grimace. Because of his removed teeth, his voice sounds quite funny to my ears. I grinned. I was going easy on him but he seems to want none of it. "I'll make you. Sooner or later, if you don't appreciate me being your dentist, I shall give you a pedicure instead."Marino's eyes widened. His blood stained teeth shivered in response and his throat tightened. Marino spread his mouth open wider but instead of speaking, he laughed. "There is this book the Ivanovs used to read." I start, taking my hand off his hair. Marino eyed my movement carefully as I adjust backwards, looking at his face. "When a dog has a lot of free will, it becomes naughty.
- KILLIAN -"Are you really going to let him go?" Liam asks, standing behind me as Marino scurries out, limping. I want to kill him after everything I've heard. But I won't. Like I said before, I'll give him time to warn people. I'll give him time to run. "No. Knowing him, he'd try to flee. Let him run. He can't hide." I groaned and lowered my gaze to my stomach. I need to retire to bed. But I have things to do. "Not with that body anyway." I said and sighed. I want Marino to spend his last twenty four hours with the dread that I'm just a blink away, waiting to end him. My attention left the door and fell on the people chained to the ceiling. I clench and unclench my fist, warming my hand up. They're next. I will enjoy this very much. Or not. I have somewhere to be. "Do you want to do the honour, Liam?" A cackle slid in my ears as Liam laughed. "You have no idea how long I've been waiting to be asked that." A half grin formed on my face. "I'll leave it to you." I walk in front of
- KILLIAN - I got in my car and groaned. Gasping for air while laying my back on the seat. I'm in pain. My body is suffering from everything I did today and I can't begin to talk about the heart ache. I met her today and at least that calmed me down a bit. The encounter wasn't really what I expected but it was something. She didn't really give me an invitation but she spoke to me. That means something because I didn't expect her to. A half grin formed on my face. I can't believe I'm smiling right now when my body is in this state. I'll enjoy the chase. I need to win her back. Have to. And I need to do so with no bloodshed. That means I won't be passing a bullet through the head of some tall blond in the process as tempting as it may be. I raise my shirt up and groaned. Sighting the blood stained plaster around my body and some uncovered bruises and swells messed with my mind. I can barely move my body without feeling a sting. Fuck. I should've come with a driver. I shouldn't hav
- HAZEL - It's been two days, I clench my fingers around the huge pink plushie on my bed, sinking my head into it. It's so soft. And the best part about it is, it comes with a voice box. I gently press the collar around the neck of my plushie, which has my name engraved on a golden heart-shaped name tag, and a deep masculine voice plays. It's Killian's. "Hello kitten, I know I don't deserve your forgiveness but I'm begging you. Please. Forgive me. Give me a chance to make things right. Take care." Rang in my ears. Every word came with a sexy growl and that pleased my ears. In fact, it makes my eyes roll but I'm conflicted. I don't know if I should accept Killian's apology or not. Why does he even care? I'm just his student. Someone walks in. The nurse flashed me a smile and checked the condition of my room again before leaving. Killian also made five playlists for me. This made me giggle. I don't know how he knows but some of my favourite songs are here. He made one for my mood
- KILLIAN - It's the d-day. The game is finally here and seats are getting occupied by home students and the school professors, guests and the opposing team. Certain board members have their own seats in the stadium and everyone seems to be getting cozy. I feel better. I've been on medication and haven't done anything stressful for the past week so despite certain minor aches, I'm confident that I'm improving very nicely. "Got popcorn." Liam says, walking to me. I stared at him with a brow raised. Did I forget to add that I invited him? Not by choice, obviously. Liam wanted to come. "Need I remind you I'm the coach. I won't be sitting with you nor will I have time to snack." "Who said I got them for you?" Liam smirks and puts some popcorn in his mouth. I scoff, looking away. I ran my eyes around the stadium, hoping to find someone. Certainly one week is enough time. Hazel didn't text me back but that doesn't mean I'm backing off. "Looking for someone?" Liam's voice slid in my e
- KILLIAN -Winning is not much of a victory if she's not here to celebrate it with me. I close my eyes and splash water on my face. My eyelids slid open and I stare at myself in the mirror, breathing through my mouth. My hair is wet and dripping water down my face which drips down the sink. The image of Hazel kissing that blonde suddenly flashes in my mind causing my gaze to harden. Where was Liam when I needed him? I clench my fist and hit my hand on the sink in anger, still staring at myself in the mirror. If he was there at that moment, maybe he would've done something to stop it. I groan. My fist hurts but not as much as the ache I feel in my heart right now. The strange part about what I saw is despite this, I still desire her. My body craves her so much. I want to someday sit with her and remember this moment with the satisfaction that I won. Even though watching her lock lips with another man broke me. I kind of deserved it. I was a dick. But I'm trying to change that. I
- HAZEL -I stood outside the closed amusement park with an extra paper-cup of coffee in my hand. I'm freezing and I don't have a jacket, plus, I'm alone. I wouldn't have been if Kaiden didn't have urgent things to attend to, leaving me stranded. And if Kate hadn't pulled an awol on me. I sigh and stick the tip of my half filled cup of coffee in my mouth, holding it firmly between my teeth and slowly dip my hand in my pocket to take my phone. I turn on the screen and head to my chat with Killian. Killian hasn't texted me since then but I'm waiting for him. I couldn't get any network signal to call a taxi and he was the only one I could think of that would actually be willing to help me. That's why I texted him. That, and also the fact that I want to talk, yet I feel devastated about that. I feel like I'm taking advantage of a situation I definitely have no upper hand in. Maybe it's because I know he cares about me. I'm a terrible person!!I pace back and forth in a line, still hol
- KILLIAN -I didn't drive. After getting food for her, I waited for her to finish eating comfortably in my car. Without watching her of course, the least I want is to make her feel uncomfortable by my presence.Although I already got the hint that it happened quite a lot. I groan, pulling my hand over my face, forming a veil with my fingers. Right now, we're in the parking lot. "I'm done eating. Thank you, it was so good." Hazel slurps. "I'm glad you liked it." A half grin forms on my face. I'm not a stalker but I do have information on certain things she likes eating. Don't ask me how. "Should I leave this with me or I should-" She asks.Through the mirror, I can see her arrange the empty food packets inside the bag. My gaze lingers to the side and I espy her holding the food pack nervously. "Leave it in the car." I cut her short. "I'll take care of it." I say to her. Hazel's lips form a line. I can already tell she's having doubts. "Here, give it to me." I lean my hand forward
