It was like a slap in the face, and the shame I felt was so strong that I thought my cheeks would burn as they flushed red. Ella had a lopsided smile on her face, while it seemed I was the only one dazed at what was going on.Ella just proved once again that he do listen to her and does what she requests. same in the classroom and here right now.Are my eyes deceiving me? Isn't this Dracula, the Lycan prince?"Why are you gawking at me that way? Are you coming in or not? I have other things to do!" I heard him huff directly at me with a narrowed gaze, without even looking at Ella, who was standing beside me.His eyes were cold, just like his voice, and it seemed like my presence was pinching on his skin. For a few moments, I couldn't speak. My gaze shifting from him to Ella in confusion."I thought you said you don't accept students inside your office? Why did you change your mind suddenly after you heard Ella's voice?" I couldn't hold back as I shot the question at him, giving him a
"What did you just say about being cursed earlier?" He whispered hoarsely just as he turned to me after locking the door. There was curiosity and different kinds of emotions I couldn't explain glinting in his eyes as he stared down at me, who was still kneeling on the floor.I gulped and wiped my tears with the backs of my arms, exhaling and inhaling deeply as I wondered about the right words to use and how to explain it all. I just claimed to be cursed because that is what it seemed like after my good and pleasurable life turned sour after that day.The curse was that beast, which saved me from being killed, even though it should be a blessing because that is the reason I am still alive now. If my mother had killed me that day, I just can't explain what would have been the fate of the werewolf kingdom."First, get up from the floor and have a seat. You have no reason to be scared of me, not yet." He continued as he returned to his chair.I rose and slowly sat on the other chair, faci
Tears welled up in my eyes, blurring my vision so that I couldn't see clearly where I was treading, but I still couldn't stop running. What he said to me was echoing painfully in my head, sending shivers up and down my spine.I tried not to believe him. I forced myself to accept that he was lying to push me away, but I knew vividly within me when my mate was telling the truth. I could hear the pain and anguish in his voice from being a killer to his mates. This was why he didn't want to have anything to do with me at the beginning.He loved me, but would still have to murder me in a gruesome way. What kind of curse is this, and what did he do to deserve this? What did I also do to deserve this kind of end?I stopped running but was now walking fast and aimlessly, groping through different paths because I couldn't remember the right road that led to my classroom neither could I tell where I was at the time. My brain was hazy and blank as I kept trying not to break down. The leisure ti
Fear and pain twisted inside me, hitched my breath, and throbbed my heart as I stared at his expressionless face. My eyes were looking at his face, but at that very moment, what I was seeing was a monster.I lowered my gaze to the ground, allowing the tears burning in my eyes to fall freely on the ground.I heard his footsteps approaching, and my heartbeat quickened, my breath choking as I gulped and closed my eyes.It was difficult to see him as my mate who would protect and love me. I was frightened and pained because my love for him was still stronger, yet I had to push him away. I had to run away from him with the realization that, in less than a month, he would turn into a beast and devour me like an enemy.He left his Lycan kingdom and came down to the werewolf world so he could save his people from his deadly curse and put us at risk. The moon goddess kept giving him mates from his environment, so he is here to make us suffer for his crime, and unfortunately, I was one of the
All I knew was that two other teachers came in and gave their lectures, but I could swear I heard no meaningful words from them.I wasn't listening as different thoughts kept swarming into my head. I couldn't wait for the closure bell to ring, so I would run over to Laura and the Alpha to tell them what just happened today. It was something that needed an urgent response before it got out of hand. Everything we planned and arranged was all falling apart, and at the end, we could be faced with a dreadful outcome that would make us regret all we had done to Ella.I glanced over my shoulder and saw Ella still sitting with her head buried under the desk, and it made me curious about what might have transpired between the Lycan and her. There was no trace of a smile or excitement when she stepped into the classroom with Dracula but then again, the love was still there. That was why he gave that order that would force me to let Ella attend school without missing any day. Just so they will k
"Wow, you sounded really scary.." I couldn't hold back after hearing how Laura sounded. I understood that we all wished for Ella's death, but the way she put that threat would make everyone who heard it wonder, and I guess the alpha isn't left out either, as he squinted his eyes at Laura too."Yeah, I have never heard you with such a tone before. You sounded really scary." The alpha added in confusion shown on his face too.Laura gave us no reply and stomped away, her feet hitting the ground so hard that one would think the tiles would actually crack. She was literally puffing and huffing, with visible veins running through the sides of her neck and arms. The Alpha followed her immediately with a concerned look. One thing he couldn't stand was seeing his mate so upset and flustered. He was surely going to do everything possible to make her feel better again."You must be really happy now that you are slowly winning." I scoffed at Ella, who was squatting on the floor, and she raised h
My lips clamped shut as I was instantly paralyzed by the horrifying sight in front of me. I watched as black, pointed claws jutted from her fingers, and her skin appeared paler than usual while those bloody red eyes stared right into my soul.I found it hard to breathe as my heart kept hitting so hard inside my chest that I thought it was going to break out of my ribs. I couldn't believe my sight and wished it was a dream, but I knew so well that this was happening in reality and that it was possible that I was going to die now.I was petrified, and when I saw her walk closer, I knew it was the end of me. Laura was actually a demon, just as Ella had warned me, and now I guess it was too late to believe her. I just hope the alpha finds out earlier before she destroys this pack."Now you truly know who I am!" Her deep and scary voice echoed in my ears, shooting extra fright inside me as I nodded uncontrollably.I saw her let out a smirk before backing away from me. In a blink of an eye,
Three days have passed, and Laura hasn't said anything about Ella to me. She didn't come up with any plans and acted normally as always. I also acted calm, and while fear was brooding inside me every day, I still succeeded in bottling it all inside me and making sure no one, especially my father, knew what I was going through.Every night I lay in bed and close my eyes, only to be faced with nightmares of demons chasing after me. Each time, I would be sprinting through the forest and wood, gliding my way to escape, only to end up at the end of a cliff.They would all rush over to me with blood running through their mouths and spilling around the ground just like vampires, grunting and clawing at me dangerously.Only when they were about to devour me would I jump up from the bed with a sharp scream of horror, sweating profusely while my entire body wouldn't stop trembling all through that night. I couldn't sleep because of the nightmares, but I had to come out of my room and act as if e
