LOGINThere was no way she actually believed in that myth. The whole ideology of Rex committing himself to me because of some horns was just ridiculous, and with the look on Amber’s face, she also believed it.“You believe that him giving me his horns means he is willing to give his all to me? Come on now…It’s just horns,” I scoffed, even trying to laugh it off, but Amber was still processing it, her expression was serious.“Why did he give it to you?” she asked, her tone was calm.The question triggered the memory of what Rex had said.“I am trying to make you fall in love with me.”I immediately scoffed, shaking my head, and Amber just glared at me, clearly noticing my reaction.“What?” she asked, raising her brows.“Oh, it’s nothing…” I replied quickly, brushing it off, and she nodded, starting the car.“So…about what I asked you earlier, why did he give it to you?” she repeated.“I don’t know…you know how Rex can be,” I lied, leaning on the car seat, my eyes fixed outside the window t
Where exactly was I going to start from? A lot happened last night, and there was no way I was going to tell Amber everything, but there were some parts that she really needed to know.“Uhmm…where do I start from?” I took a deep breath, unbuttoning my shirt slowly.Amber’s eyes were on me, fixed, waiting for me to speak. She was also holding my hands, gently this time.It felt different… the way she was looking at me right now. It was exactly how I had always wanted her to look at me.The way a mother looks at her daughter.“Oh my child…”Those words rang in my ears again.She had never called me that before.She had also said she missed me.I had been worried all night about how Amber would react to me being in Raven pack, but I never stopped to think about how it must have been for her… as my mother.“Did anything unusual happen?” she asked softly, searching my face.I sighed, my shoulders dropping. That alone was enough for her to know something had happened.“What happened?” she a
It’s been 24 hours since Amber last saw Lily, she couldn’t even get a proper nap last night, the thought of Lily being locked in Raven Academy with wolves, it made her skin crawl.The midnight call ceremony wasn’t one that a human could survive in, she had thought of going to the Academy earlier yesterday and request for a state of emergency but Maltilda had assured her that Lily had a plan and she just had to trust her.“Why isn’t she here yet? Did something bad happen?” Amber paced around the room, her eyes fixed on the wall clock, her fingers nervously tapping against her arm. The time for the close of the game was far gone and there was still no sign of Lily.She stopped for a second, biting her lower lip, her chest rising and falling.“That’s it… I am going to Raven Academy.” She dragged her jacket from the bed, her movements were rushed and impatient, but just as she was about to step out, there was a knock at her door.Her heart skipped.“Lily, is that you?”She called out qui
“ Sebastian….Sebastian please wait …” I pleaded, my voice slightly breathless as I called out to Sebastian, trying to meet up with his pace.After the principal ended the ceremony and announced it was time to go home, everyone started to rush out of the hall in a noisy crowd, while our team was told to wait and receive the prize. Sebastian was the first to walk out and I decided to follow him immediately.I still wanted to set things straight with him, not only because I was scared that he was going to rat me out, but because I didn’t want our friendship to be ruined. He was more than my fake boyfriend, more than the boy that knew my secret…he was someone I had come to rely on.“ Sebastian….” I finally got to him and held onto the hem of his shirt, my fingers tightening slightly as if he might disappear if I let go.He stopped but didn’t turn immediately.“ Lily…I don’t think there’s more to talk about,” he said after a second, his voice tired and edged with frustration. “ I am tire
When the principal stepped into the auditorium, everyone started to take their places. Sebastian slowly let go of my hand, but his eyes were still on me.Gosh…the way he looked at me It made my heart ache.It felt like we were actually dating and I had just been caught cheating.Rex was still holding my hand, so tightly.“ They are about to call results….” Anastasia said to me, trying to take me out of the situation.“ Let go of my hand….” I said to Rex, my voice low.He actually let go.“ What’s going on over there? Settle down everybody!” one of the tutors called out after noticing the distraction.I quickly followed Anastasia and Lustre to our line, trying not to look back.“ Girlll…you are in the middle of something that you might not be able to handle in the future,” Anastasia whispered, bumping my shoulder lightly.If this was about Sebastian and Rex…then I was beginning to fear she might be right.It was getting out of my control.“ Good Morning Ravers!!!” the principal’s voic
There was this loud blaring sound echoing through my ear, I was too tired to open my eyes, my body still needed rest from all the shenanigans from last night , Yet this alarm wouldn’t stop.It kept ringing like it had a personal problem with me, like it knew I didn’t want to wake up and it was doing everything in its power to drag me out of sleep.I groaned turning to the other side of the bench totally forgetting that this wasn’t my bed.“ Careful!!” Rex rushed from his chair and caught me before I stumbled to the floor , my eyes were still sleepy but I was amazed with how fast he was to get to me .For a second my body leaned into his without thinking“ What’s that noise…” I groaned. “ Good morning to you too ….” He said as he lifted me back on the bench, I wiped my eyes and my vision was clear.Rex was shirtless, how could one be so ethereal in the morning.Like he didn’t even try, like he just woke up looking like that.His blue eyes fixed on me , I was going to open my mouth to
They say the best way to get out of a lie is with another lie. Ordinarily, I’d agree but right now? I couldn’t lie my way out of Rex’s trap. I had to come clean. Not like I was going to say the truth , I was going to pretend.…It’s different from lying.“I do not understand you.”“What do you mean
I didn’t expect Amber to react in any particular way when I told her I would be staying back, so I wasn’t really surprised when she didn’t say anything. She just nodded and smiled.“Is she going to be okay?” I asked as she finished cleaning.“We can’t say… that’s why we are here.”I nodded. She han
Just a few minutes in this house and I was already in trouble. I might even be butchered if the worst happened. “Why is she shaking like that? I did exactly what Amber asked me to!” I rushed toward the Luna, but Rex shoved me into a corner. “Don’t touch her!” he yelled. He turned and grabbed my
Maltilda walked out of the room and into the garden, where Amber was attending to her flowers. The morning sun hit the petals softly as Amber bent over them, humming faintly to herself. Maltilda walked past her without stopping.Amber chuckled behind her.“Trouble in paradise?”Maltilda paused and
