Four months later
Vladimir
As the cold winter days passed, making way for the spring days, and the snow slowly melted away, flowers blooming everywhere, I felt as miserable as when I was nine, and my life changed forever.
From the day Elena drank my blood, she kept avoiding me. She made sure she was never alone with me, and she always ignored me. I wanted to talk to her, but her silence is driving me crazy. So I put everything I have into my training.But for some reason, I am never at the level of the other first-year cadets. And I work twice as hard as them.I stopped having private tutoring classes and spent my afternoons in the forest, training most of the time with Winter. In the silence of the forest, the only ones that made noise are Winter and me.While I trained, I kept thinking about the day that Elena bit me, thinking that maybe I did somethinMarkI am walking with Vladimir towards the entrance of the cafeteria when I see Laura slapping Rose across the face hard. I stop walking. I am shocked. Laura would never hurt a fly. So why did she do that to Rose?Elena approaches Rose and Laura and says something to Laura, but I am too shocked to hear what they say.“Laura!” finally escapes my lips and go them as fast as I can.Vladimir is already there, making sure Rose is ok. Seeing her so distressed upsets me.“Why did you that, Laura?” I ask her and see how she goes pale.“I didn't want to,” she says, “I don’t know what came over me.”Tears start to flow for her eyes. Fuck! I am hopeless before her tears.“Don’t cry, Laura! I am not upset with you!” I say and hug her.“‘The fuck, man?” Vladimir asks. &ldqu
May 20thVladimir“Why do you cry, princess?” asked the little boy while he sat next to her, on the tree log, putting a hand around her shoulders.“It's my birthday today,” the little girl said while tears kept falling down her pink cheeks.“Then why are you crying? You should celebrate. My mom says birthdays are special days.”“Because he ruined my birthday,” the girl said while sobs escaped her little pink lips. “He even broke my new doll. Now I have no gifts. I hate him! He always breaks my things!”“Then I will give you a gift,” the boy said.“What kind of a gift?” she asked excitedly.“A gift that only a knight can give to his princess.”And the boy kissed his princess, just like he saw his mom and dad do it. It was his first kiss. He w
ElenaI follow the scent of peaches that Vladimir leaves behind in the forest. It doesn't take me long to track him down and find him.He sits on a large rock in front of the lake, hunched over, his elbows resting on his thighs, his back at me. I assume he is watching the lake.I stay there, watching him for a few moments. I don't even know what to say to him.“Have you come to enjoy my failure?” he suddenly speaks, taking me by surprise.I walk up to him.“Can I sit next to you?” I ask.He shrugs and moves a little. I sit next to him, watching the lake. For a long while, no one speaks.I am the first to break the silence.“What happened?” I ask.“I don’t want to talk about it.”I can tell he is upset, but I insist.“You were doing great up until the moment you had to shift. Y
ElenaWe stay in the forest a bit longer, talking. When we walked slowly back to the Pack House, and he takes my hand into his. I like the feeling of his big hand wrapped around my small. I feel my hand tiny compared to his big hand.When we are in front of the Pack House, he lifts the hand that I have in his hand and plants a soft kiss on top of it, and looks at me with those green eyes of his.“I will think of the kiss we shared all night long,” he tells me.“Me too,” I confess.Vladimir waits until I got in before leaving. He makes my heart… race. I haven't felt like this in a long time. I feel…happy. Damn, I am in love. I don’t even know when I have fallen for him.I go inside my office and close the door. I take out my agenda and look for a phone number. I dial it and wait for the Elder to pick it up. Finally, after
VladimirTraining my abilities is not easy. It requires a large amount of energy. Energy that I have to channel from Earth energy. I have to learn more than I have learned as an Enforcer cadet.I spend, every day, about ten hours training with Elder Horia. He is rarely pleased with my progress. He is an Aura Warrior himself and knows a lot about training my Warrior ability.“Try harder, Vladimir! See with your mind, not eyes! Focus on the battle camp, shape it as you desire, move it around, control your Aura.”When I don’t train, I study.“Tell me what the colors of Aura represent,” he says.“Black,” I start to say, “is the color of evil. Blue is for leadership, red for power. Green is for strong, yellow happiness, pink is normally for females and represents love, while orange is for loyalty. Brown is for healers&hell
VladimirI look at Elena's face and admire her beauty while she sleeps. She looks very peaceful. I brush the tip of my fingers along her face with great care, so I don’t wake her up. She is so soft. Even softer than I imagined. I hold her in my arms and I am still amazed at how perfect she fits my arms. Like her body was created exactly for my body.I love her so much. She takes my breath away. Six months ago, I did think it would be possible to feel something like this for her. I was constantly terrified of her. And now I want to make her happy. I don’t think I can live without her—my strong-willed mate.I lay with Elena in my arms all night long. I thought I knew what torture is. Obviously, I was wrong. I have to ignore my desire. Whenever she moves, changing her posture, I forced myself to stay still, afraid to move or even breathe. And my cock stays erect al
ElenaWhen I get to the infirmary, I see the nurses treating a lot of wounded males.“Where is the doctor?” I ask one of the nurses.“He is treating the Beta,” she replies.“Where?”“I am afraid you will have to wait, Alpha.”I want to protest, to scream at her, but Vladimir comes in.“I saw you rush into the infirmary. What is wrong?”“Everything!” I shout, wanting to punish someone for what is happening to Mark.“Talk to me, Elena,” he says softly.“Mark, he is…” and I can’t continue my voice cracking.“Shh, everything will be alright,” he tries to comfort me and hugs me, stroking my hair.I push him, but he won’t budge.“Let me go! I need to find Mark. I need to see how he is!” I say despera
Laura“When is Mark going to get out of the infirmary? Is the joining ceremony still happening next weekend, or Mark needs more time to heal?” my friend, Amelia, asked me while we sit in the common room.The last thing I want to do is to be joined with Mark. He looks like a monster.“Have you seen how he looks, with all those scars all over? And his face is ruined. He looks like a…monster. How on Earth am I going to be able to look at him every day? Imagine him touching me. Disgusting! It wasn’t that he was hot before. I mean, he was ok, I suppose, but now, I just can not be with him,” I say.“How can you be so superficial? I would give anything to find my mate,” Krista, another friend, said.“I am not superficial. I am just telling the truth. You should see his face, with all those cuts. I can’t look at him a
