Sophia's POVThe very second I stepped out of the room where Jace was, I felt uneasy. Something seemed uncanny about the environment, but I couldn't lay hand on anything. I looked around to check if there was any sign of strange movements or whatever, but nothing was different. It was still early in the morning and the guards were yet to wake, except those guarding the outside. Taking slow but steady steps down the stairs, I still felt disturbed. My instincts were urging me to go back and check on Jace, which I don't know why, as that was where I just came out from. He's tied to the peak and can only shake his head because the ropes would hurt him if he tried to wiggle out his hands or legs.A gasp slipped my lips as I picked up a bottle of vodka from the bar. I need to clear my head and start planning the most effective way to find Lola. It was great news that she is alive, as that only means there is hope, but then, I don't know how much love Jace has for her.I had mentioned usin
Alpha Daren's POV"What is written in that letter? Why are you in panic?" I heard Sophia ask, but I couldn't turn back to her to say anything. I quickly left the room, panting and trying hard to hold myself from destroying everything around me as rage and fear engulfed me.I can't believe what I read in the letter was real, but that could only explain why Lola was able to survive being killed in the vampire clan, and it is also an explanation of how she was able to come on here and rescue Jace without anyone noticing. As I sprinted straight into my room, I could see everyone's stares darting at me due to how I kept puffing. No one would understand the danger that was setting in. The terror that was about to destroy me in the near future.They all looked perplexed and perplexed, especially as I was musing to myself; I knew those guards and Sophia, who saw me hide the letter, would have a lot on their minds, but how would I explain to them that my life is at stake?My nightmares were c
I dashed out of the room and into Torian's clinic ward; I didn't need to kill him now because I wanted his useless father to see him skinned alive and tortured before his death; I just needed to make him forget I stabbed him.I barged in without knocking on the door, and three male doctors were working on him. They all paused and turned to me with arched brows and questioning looks."What... please, can you stay outside at the moment? He can't meet anyone now," one of them with messy blonde hair and round glasses spoke out after seeing how I stood there without doing anything.I scoffed and started walking closer while their faces grimaced more in confusion."Ma'am, you are disrupting an important part of his treatment and we really need your absence, please," another with dark skin added, as if I was deaf to what the first doctor said."Give him a drug that will cause his brain to forget what happened a few hours ago," I ordered in a whisper but strong tone after getting very close t
Blake's POVFor some minutes, I was lost, staring into those beautiful blue eyes, sparkling like ripples in the ocean. It was shimmering like she was about to cry. Her eyes were locked with mine as she let out a bright smile, which made my heart skip a beat and clench. She stood up from the bed and walked closer to me, forcing my breath to hang as I gulped in admiration. The figure in front of me was nothing different from perfection."You are so beautiful," I breathed, yelping as I felt a bit of a struggle to breathe. She was really taking away my breath. "You are so adorable and perfect that I feel unworthy to have you," she replied, biting her lower lip and taking my palm into hers without breaking the eye contact that was driving me insane.This wasn't the first time I would be this close to her, but this time around, it felt so magical, her alluring scent seemed more overwhelming, and every gaze into her smiling face kept causing my heart to race.It was like I was falling in l
She was walking toward us with a smile that looked peaceful and lovely, yet it was deceitful in my eyes. My heart was racing with every part of me shaking, even as I tried to compose myself. My fear was what next would be her action, as it can't be read from her face.I glanced at Blake and saw the same fear in his eyes mixed with readiness. His fists were already clenched as he also pinned his eyes on his mother. I knew at the moment, he wouldn't hesitate to strike at her if she ever tried to hurt me. He wouldn't let her or anyone hurt me again, which was nice of him, but I was feeling nothing but deep sadness.I shouldn't have said that secret rashly while knowing that the walls had ears. There are many secret places to say it out, but I foolishly blurted it out, and that will mark the end of this romance we thought was about to blossom.It was clear I might end up leaving this place again and going into hiding, which was what kept piercing my heart like a spear. She finally got cl
"You remember me?" I chirped, tears filling my eyes. Tears of joy and intense excitement as it all seemed like a dream, yet was happening for real. She recalled my face and just mentioned my name."Yes, she can remember everything." I heard the voice of her mother from behind as she walked out from the inside to meet us at the door.We broke the hug and held hands, and I grinned at her mother, who was all smiles as she gazed at both of us."We knew you would survive and come back for her, so after you performed that ritual, we hurried to a witch doctor who broke it, since it was not late already. She was able to make it futile." Her mother explained with glee in her eyes."I would have hated you for the rest of my life if I ever woke up and couldn't remember you. For goodness sake, how the hell did you plan to do that to me?!!" Bella bawled at me, rolling her eyes in annoyance."I am so sorry, I was just impulsive and acted rashly. I was stupid!" My voice cracked with emotion as I sai
"I will kill you once you tell anyone. I will be able to run and leave here the moment you spread the secret, but be aware that your life will end, I promise you." She whispered threateningly and stomped away almost at the same time.Oh gosh!How did she see through my lies without struggle? I know she will tell Blake immediately, and that will put me in danger of being tested for my deafness in many ways, which I might fail to prove. I have to hurry and tell my friend, Vienna, now before anything happens to me.Vienna's POV I was on my bed in tears once again as those words my parents said before leaving kept resounding inside me.I felt like breaking everything and pulling the whole house down on my head, dying inside it. This is the saddest news I have ever heard in my life, and it hurts more than his rejection.After all my efforts to win his heart, he ended up finding love with another vampire lady. It would be better if he had rejected me and stayed single forever, but no, that
"Vienna, what are you doing here?" Blake half-yelled at the young girl who had just walked in, and I knew her name was Vienna, but I don't know who she was or why her presence enraged Blake.Immediately after Blake asked her that question, she giggled and turned her gaze to me, raising her left brow and smirking, making a crazy smirk that made me shiver a bit as something crossed my mind. Could she be the one who the deaf girl had told the secret to? Because that is the only thing that explained the smirk she was sending to me."She is the one, right?" Vienna chuckled, her gaze shifting from me to Blake, who was already irritated by the so-called Vienna's attitude."How dare you step your feet here? Aren't you ashamed? I thought you'd grown up to realize that you are making a nuisance of yourself by forcing yourself on a guy who has no single trace of feelings for you!" Blake snorted, peering straight at her face as his fists clenched."Hey, son, calm down. Why are you acting like thi
