Chapter 2 ( Riley's Pov)

Chapter 2

Riley pov,

I froze as I felt the air change, turning around, a huge black dragon flew above me.

My breath hitched as I watched it descend before me, transforming into a tall man , his eyes glowed red a second as his black locks flowed down his back.

‘’The fuck?’’

I muttered to myself. The man tried to walk towards me, but something snapped inside me—survival instincts, perhaps— as I bolted towards the door.

The man did not chase me as his eyes followed my movement. I returned to the hallway and attempted to follow the schedule Anthony had given me, but I bumped into someone again.

I stood in shock as a tall pale man came into view

‘’Checking out my fangs, baby? It’s real. Wanna touch?’’ he asked as he flashed them and moved closer. I shook my head and turned to leave, but I was cornered by another person, this one was huge, muscular, and also tall.

‘’Where are you coming from?’’ he asked as he walked towards me. I backed up till I hit the fangs guy.

‘’ More like where are you going to?’’ the dragon guy added

‘’Wait…..I….I….can explain….’’ i tried to say

‘For fuck sake, what are you scared of? These guys? Let me out so I can put them in their place, and you find a way to get us out of here’’ the wolf complained.

The fanged guy, leaned into my neck inhaling deeply ‘’ you …..smell so good ’’

the huge guy , tillitin my neck ‘’ ours’’ he muttered against my neck.

‘’Please —--- let me go’’ my knees shook

No way, three of them? This too soon. Let’s get out of here’’ the wolf warned .

‘’ Control yourselves, you are scaring him’’

The owner of the voice turned out to be the dragon guy,I could feel his aura as he stared at me; it was calm with a hint of danger. He walked closer but stood at arm's length as he said.

‘’I’m Darius, as you had already seen a dragon, that’s Cassian, he’s a vampire — the fangs guy, and that’s Kieran, a Lycan’’ he introduced.

‘’We won’t harm you, just tell us your name’’ he added

You won’t harm us, you say? Yet your faces were up in our throats’’ the wolf snickered.

‘’Why were you running?’’ His voice was gentle, but his eyes were telling me to pick my answers carefully.

Glancing at him as my eyes moved back and fro from three of them, I gulped as I thought of the answers to give him.

‘’ i got lost,’ i gulped

‘’That’s a dumb lie,’’ the wolf argued

‘’Shut it!’’ I warned him in my head

I froze as I noticed that the three of them had now moved closer.

‘’You were trying to run?’’ Kieran questioned sternly

‘’Well, good thing Darius found you first’’ Cassian smiled

‘’I wasn’t.’’

‘’What are you trying to hide?’’ Darius asked.

I tried to say, but I was not able to complete my sentences as I felt myself completely lost in their eyes.

‘It’s him’ Wolf said.

‘’ what?’’ i asked

‘’Doesn’t matter, you are here, and you are not leaving’’ Cassian interrupted

He flashed his fangs and tried to move closer to me, but Darius held him back.

‘’Cassian, don’t do anything stupid,’’ he warned

‘’He is our mate, nothing is stupid with how attached we feel right now Kieran added as he turned to look at them

‘’ what’s that?’’ i asked confused

‘’Don’t look at me like I'm stupid, we damn well know what this means.’’

‘’I …… I…… don't. I was living my normal life until this afternoon, when I suddenly became what I am not, and now I have a supposed wolf. You got in my way while im trying to escape this pid place. What do you mean by I am your mate?’’ I rambled.

‘’Fuck’’’ cassian said

‘’So you don’t know anything at all? Darius asked, and I nodded.

‘’No problem, I just have to teach you.’’ Cassian smiled,

walked forward and tucked a strand of my long curly hair behind my ear as he leaned forward

before adding,

‘’I will teach you everything you need to know.‘’

He said, and was about to kiss me on my lips, but flinched when I heard my name.

‘’Riley!’’ an awfully familiar voice called out my name.

It was Anthony,

‘’What are doing here, you were supposed to follow your schedule’’

He asked, pulling me away from them.

I felt relived at his arrival.

The three men eyes traced Anthony’s hand on my arm, something dark flickereing through them.

‘’Yeah, I was lost, I think I know the way now, though, no need to worry about anything.’’

I said.

‘’I am not worried about anything, this is Felix, your roommate, get acquainted,’’ he said as he

Turned to the guy I hadn’t noticed and nudged him toward me.

Achnoleding the three men behind me as he asked.

‘’ Don’t the three of you have places to be?’’

He complained as he tried to chase them away.

Cassian smiled, while Darius and Tobias just took a last glance me and Felix.

‘’Hiiiii, I'm Felix! Nice to meet you!’’ said the new guy

Taking a glance at him, I took in his twinking blue eyes and fair skin. I noticed that I was slightly taller than him as he bounced to and fro on his feet. I could feel his genuine excitement to see me, which amused me, and his gentle smile seemed contagious, so I could not help but smile back.

’’ Yeah, he mentioned, nice to meet you too I replied

‘’I should show you around, but we have a lot to do right now,’’ he said as he linked our hands, pulling me along

‘’What’s going on?’’ I asked as we headed towards the elevator, I hadn’t noticed before

We have an orientation in two weeks, so the teachers are rushing the students with the lessons and preparation. You are new here, right?’’

I nodded.

He smiled and took a glance back before adding.

‘’So what are you supposed to be?’’

‘’Uhm..’’

‘’ I see you’ve met THEM,’’ he stated, his voice turning into a whisper

‘’What?’’

‘’You know, the immortals’’ he tilied his head confused

‘’ The immortals?’’

‘’ I’m guessing that you haven’t heard about them?’’

‘’No’’

‘’Well you should stay away from them, unless you are one of those crazy about them’’ He said rolling his eyes

They might be rulers of their kingdoms but i wouldn’t get involved with them, they are cursed,‘’ he whisphered

What!?’’

‘’I heard a powerful witch cursed them. She wanted them for their status, ensuring they have no mates or descendants, are immortal, and worst, if the moon goddess ends up giving them a mate, they are only destined to have one.

‘’That means?......’’

‘’They are bound to share a mate. If they find their mate and they mate with them, their curse will either be broken or the mate will destroy the world’’
