~RAELIYA~ Kaelric lied. He didn't go easy on me like he had promised. By the time I was done running on the treadmill, I was huffing and puffing on the floor. “Don't be so dramatic. You just ran five miles at a very slow pace might I add” He commented and I scoffed. “You call level eight speed Slow?” I asked incredulously and he nodded. “Sorry to burst your bubble but I barely walk fast not to talk of running. I'm not a wolf, you have to go easy on me” I muttered and he rolled his eyes. “You're a wolf. In your case, it just takes time for your abilities to manifest” He uttered and I frowned. “How are you and Skylar so sure? I don't feel anything” I told him and he sighed. “Get up” He ordered and I groaned. “Just let me lay here for a sec…” “Don't make me put you on that treadmill again, Gremlin” He threatened and I glared at him before slowly getting up. I gasped slightly as he suddenly grabbed my hand, spun me around and slammed my back har
~KAELRIC~ Something was wrong with me. It's either the mark was working too well or my wolf was projecting his possessive feelings on me, but I didn't like it at all. I was way too aware of the male eyes gawking at Raeliya as soon as she walked in with Skylar. What the hell was wrong with me? “Do you want to continue?” Dante uttered beside me, taking my attention off her for a while as I turned to him. “No, I'm going for a run. Keep working on your form and your pace. You're getting slow” I commented, and he nodded. “Understood” He replied, and I turned back to Raeliya, and I bit down a growl as one of my men, Marcus walked up to her, and she smiled up at him. Before my brain could register it, I was already walking towards them. He reached out to shake her hand, and I slapped it away before her hand could touch his. They all turned to me. “Boss” He greeted along with Skylar while Raeliya frowned at me. “What are you doing here, Gremlin?” I asked
~RAELIYA~ I woke up to the sound of my stomach growling from hunger. As soon as I opened my eyes, it was met with Kaelric's frowning face as he glared down at me. “He disrupted my beauty sleep” He muttered and I rolled my eyes. “Well it wasn't intentional. I…” “I didn't ask,” He said grumpily And I huffed. “Maybe next time, don't rest your head on my stomach and I won't have to disrupt your beauty sleep” I retorted and he glared at me before climbing out of the bed. “What crawled up your ass this morning?” I asked as I sat up straight. He just groaned in response before storming out of the room and I sighed. I guess Mr Grumpy pants were back. I was about to lay back down when I heard a knock on the door. “If you're back with your grumpy attitude then leave” I called out and heard a light giggle. “It's me, Skylar” She replied and my eyes widened slightly. “Oh, come in” I told her and she walked in with a smile but the first thing I
~RAELIYA~ The car ride back was silent. I glanced at Kaelric, and his face was hardened. I glanced away and tried staring out the window, but the tension in the air was room thick to bear. “Did I do something wrong earlier?” I asked as I turned towards him. “You didn't do anything wrong” He said, and I pursed my lips. “Was I a bad kisser then?” I asked as I pushed my hair behind my ear. He chuckled slightly as he briefly glanced at me. “Why would you think that?” He asked, and I sighed. I didn't even know why we were having this conversation right now. “Because you pulled away twice,” I pointed out. “That didn't mean you're a bad kisser. Your feelings are all over the place tonight. It's better to sleep on it” He uttered, and I pursed my lips. I suddenly felt bad for wanting to move onto him in an attempt to forget the pain Chase had caused me. That wouldn't be fair to Kaelric at all. “Well we are even now. You can't use the fact that I kissed y
~KAELRIC~ I tapped my pen profusely on my desk as I tried to focus on the file I was reviewing but it wasn't working at all. All I could think about was what transpired between Raeliya and I. Skylar told me she was gone and my first instinct was to go after her but I couldn't. It wasn't my Character to run after a girl especially after she had done me dirty. “If you have something to say, say it” I muttered as I turned to Dante. He has been subtly glaring down at me ever since Raeliya left. “You were a little too mean to her” He uttered and I scoffed. “I could have been way more mean and you know that" I muttered and he shook his head. “Now that she's gone, what are you supposed to do? Have you Seen yourself? Your hair is almost fully white and you're turning pale” He pointed out. “I'll think of something. Summon the witches and…” “You know they can't do anything to help you. Go and settle things with her. I know she hurt your feelings earlier…”
~CHASE~ I had to stop myself from sprinting so as not to catch the attention of others. As soon as James had told me Raeliya was back, I dashed out of my room like a fire had broken out. I hastened my steps, and in a minute, I was already by her door. I didn't even bother knocking before pushing it open. “You're back. You're really back” I uttered as I walked into the room. She was seated on her bed with her little luggage beside her. I closed the door behind me, then walked up to her and hugged her tightly. This was how it was meant to be. She was meant to be here with me in my arms. I tightened my hold on her, and she whimpered slightly. “Can you let go? You're hurting me” She murmured, and I immediately pulled away. Only then did I notice that her eyes were red and swollen. “Have you been crying?” I asked as I reached out to touch her face only for her to swat my hand away. “Just because I'm back doesn't mean anything, Chase. I just don't have anyw
