LOGINI told myself that I won't care. I can't cry right now. I'm not going to give him the satisfaction of seeing me in tears.
Holding unto his arms was the school Queen bitch, Anna Godson. Her blond hair looks too perfect like it was glowing in the hallways, and her blue eyes bright and mocking stared at me like I was the most pathetic human being in the whole world.
She was too beautiful to be anything like me. Compared to Anna, you could very well refer to me as a pig, and Jason knows that. He knows that dumping me for her was a good choice. But did he seriously have to do it in front of the whole school?
If he thinks he would achieve his aim of making me cry like he had done with other girls, then he's definitely in for a surprise.
I pushed down the urge to cry to the deepest part of my brain, locked it and threw the imaginary key away.
Please tears, I'm going to let you out when I'm alone in the comfort of my room. Not right now in front of him, in front of them, in front of the whole school. How humiliating can that get?
Looking at Jason's smug expression made me realize that I have been an ignorant fool all along. Everyone in Westwood high knew that Jason Davidson is a big time player. The King of the school, bad boy and the richest kid in the city. His family is known all over the country and he's the type that takes his friends out of the country every week in his personal private jet.
I've had a crush on Jason Davidson for as long as I can remember, but I always thought I am not the kind of woman he would be interested in.
Unlike the blond barbie dolls he had dated, I was pretty average. I had dark raven hair and a slender body that looks like I don't feed myself. My eyes were a dull grey and I was short at 5ft4 inches. I should have known something wasn't right when Jason asked me out. All along he was only after my body.
Everyone warned me. I really should have listened to them, but I was so sure he loved me. I was so sure I had changed him. Why is he doing this to me now?
Jason scoffed when I refused to say anything in answer to what he just said. What did he expect anyway? Isn't it to early to pop something so surprising at me? When I woke up this morning, I didn't expect that I was coming to school only to be heartbroken. Just yesterday, Jason treated me like a princess. How could he be so cruel?
"Are you that shocked to speak Kate? Don't you have anything to say? I just told you it's over between us. I never want to see your disgusting self anywhere close to me." He repeated, this time adding more words that tore my heart in two.
Don't cry Kate.
Don't you dare fucking cry!
I lifted my chin in defiance to show him that I am not the least bit affected by what he just said. "I am not shocked by this Jason. I expected this from you considering your reputation of being a player. I knew one of these days you're going to show the disgusting side of you that will forever remain a heartless dick!" I mentally applauded myself for saying that straight without my voice breaking.
My words seem to have no effect on Jason. He chuckled, "you really are pathetic Kate. It's not my fault that it was so easy to fool you. I made a bet with my friends that I can fuck you before prom, and I did. How is it my fault that you believed me and gave yourself to me like the disgusting slut you are?!"
Those words cut me deep like being repeatedly wounded by a razor sharp sword, but I won't break, I won't give him that satisfaction!
"For you to make such a disgusting bet on a person just shows that you are the one who's really pathetic!" I snapped and stared at the blond barbie glued to his arm, "you better watch out girl. He may have made a bet on you too."
The girl smirked unphased by my warning. "Jason won't do that to me. I'm not as pathetic as you."
I scoffed at her words, "that was how I convinced myself when he started trying to ask me out. I thought I was different from his twenty five exes. They probably thought that too, so get over yourself girl."
"Oh just shut it Kate!" Jason snapped looking annoyed, "stop putting words in Anna's head. She's not like you! I truly like her, but you on the other hand; you were nothing to me, absolutely nothing!"
"And you were nothing to me too Jason!" I fired back in anger. "My world never revolved around you, in fact I have been cheating on you with my new boyfriend. I was gonna break up with you anyway. You just beat me to it!"
My revelation was followed with silence. A silence so strong that one could hear a pin drop in the middle of the watching crowd of students, but all of a sudden, the hallway erupted into a loud laughing fit.
"Are you really lying about a boyfriend just to save face?" Jason said through his laughter. "If not me, no one will want you. Have you ever looked at yourself in the mirror?"
"Well, my new boyfriend wants me and he loves me more than anything in the world!" I continue to add more fuel to the fire and I didn't stop there, "in fact, he's richer than you, more handsome than you, less of a dick than you, and better than you in all aspect!"
"You wish!" Jason and everyone else continued to laugh, and I know for sure that none of them believed any word that comes out of my mouth.
I know I should stop, but I couldn't stop my own tongue from running. "It's not a wish. I really have a boyfriend and I even asked him to come to prom with me."
Katy you idiot!
Jason raised a disbelieving brow. "Really?"
No!
"Yes!" I answered so sure of myself that some people were starting to wonder if I was telling the truth, but majority of them doesn't believe me. I could see it in the way they looked at me, with mocking eyes and disgusted expressions.
Jason still doesn't believe me, but he said anyway. "If that is true, then I don't mind seeing this amazing boyfriend- who is apparently better than me at prom in two weeks, and if what you said turns out to be a lie, then you really are the most pathetic human being on earth Kate." With that he walked away with his new toy.
I was happy that I won against him for now, but where the fuck am I going to find a boyfriend that is a lot better than Jason in just two weeks? In fact I'm pretty sure there is no one as rich as Jason in our small town.
I'm so fucked right now!
The scent of freshly brewed coffee and breakfast filled the breakfast table. It was made precisely for Camille's little human toy, as the rest of us in here are vampires. I can eat human food, but I wasn't feeling the need right now, but Camille and Lysander hated it.Right now, I just really miss Kate. She left last night because her mom was expecting her back home early, but I was honestly looking forward to seeing her at school. Although I had no idea what to do about my sister and her little human.I heard them last night in his room, and the scent of pleasure drove me insane. There was obviously something going on between them. I could see it in their eyes, but i didn't want to ask yet in order not to sound like Im intruding. Camille and I haven't acted like actual brother and sister for a while now. At some point, I hated her for stealing father's love, but now I've realized that's just stupid of me.Nevertheless, I decided to tease them a bit. I leaned against my chair while I
The lingering heat of Camille’s lips on mine still burned on my lips as we broke apart, our breathing ragged in the cool, magnolia-scented night air. Moonlight spilled across the opulent balcony, gilding the marble railing and the lush gardens below. My heart hammered against my ribs, a frantic counterpoint to the sudden, profound silence that had fallen between us. I saw my own stunned desire reflected in her eye. Those beautiful eyes that drew me to her like moth to flame."You… you really feel that way about me?" I whispered, the words catching in my throat. I was unable to believe someone like her would love me.Camille didn’t answer with words at first. Instead, a shy, tender smile curved her lips, one that reminded me of the clumsy housemaid who knew nothing about house chores."I have felt this way for so long, Josh," she murmured, her voice a velvet caress. "From the very moment you pulled your doors open to welcome me, my heart already wanted you."She stepped closer, the thi
The guest suite Domenic had assigned me was a masterpiece of sophistication. High, vaulted ceilings were braced by dark mahogany beams, and the walls were draped in heavy, midnight-blue velvet that swallowed the light.I was raised in luxury. I knew the difference between expensive and priceless, and this place was definitely the latter.I stood in the center of the room, thinking about all that lead to this moment in my life. I realized with a start that I didn't care about my company. I didn't care about the wealth I’d spent my entire life accumulating. All I cared about was Camille.It was an irrational, terrifying realization. I had known this woman for almost a month as my housemaid—someone I saw every day who appeared very strange into my life. Now, knowing she was a princess of a race I didn't even believe in some days ago, my only instinct was to ensure she was safe. I didn't know if it was love, or madness, or the adrenaline of the hunt, but she had become the only thing on m
The morning light filtered through the grime of our hotel room window. We had woken up early just to make our escape before the vampires found us. I watched Camille as she moved about the room with a determined look wiping every supposed smell of us. That, too, is strange, but i didn't point it out. I just kept watching.It was still a shock to me. For almost a month now, she had been my housemaid. A disaster for a housemaid, but she was my housemaid all the same. But now, she is the princess of the vampires whos being chased by her own people for refusing a union her father wants to force her into."Josh, are you ready? We need to move now," Camille whispered, drawing me out of my thoughts.I checked the weight of the silver-tipped dagger I’d tucked into my waistband. Camille had handed it to me earlier to protect myself. I've never used a knife before or any other weapon, but I gripped it anyway. Unlike Camille, I was human, but as I watched her, a strange, possessive ache thrummed
"What is going on, Camille?! How did they find you?!" I asked in shock as we drove through the city. Thankfully, the creepy vampire guy didn't come after us. God knows that if he does, there's gonna be disaster. He'll definitely be faster than my stupid car.Camille sighed and ran a hand through her hair, looking frustrated. "I seriously have no idea how they found me. But I sensed their presence and decided to go come look for you. My scent is all over you, and no doubt they would find you eventually.""Your scent?" I couldn't help asking. That's so weird."Yeah. Since we've been living together, my scent kind of rubs off on you. Wherever you go, any vampire can tell that I have been around you because you'll smell like me."I frowned a little disturbed by the concept. It's a little weird that I won't lie."So what now? Are we going back to the house?" I asked in worry. If they found her, that means they found my house, and therefore, we can't go back there. "No, we can't." And I wa
Josh’s POVWeeks passed in a blur, and to my surprise, Camille and I were living a peaceful life together. It doesn't even seem like she was a vampire anymore, safe for the extraordinary powers she displays every now and then, but besides that, Camille was completely normal.I couldn't help but find the vampire princess cute. She's like a little kitten, always eager to do something and learn something. I have been the one discouraging her for a while now. If not, Camille would have tried to make me breakfast.I barely make breakfast now because Camille doesn't even eat, and I don't want to be late for work, but it seems like she isn't satisfied with the possibility that I was trying to starve myself. See? She's that cute.As I knotted my tie, my nose quickly picked up the unpleasant smell of something burning. I frowned slightly, but when I remembered the last time Camille tried to cook, I raced out of my room to go check on her.In a flash, I was already in the kitchen. "Camille?” I
I woke up with a pounding headache and sat up in my bed with a groan. I pried my eyes open with an effort and looked round me. I found that I was in my room. How the hell did I get here?I cracked my brain trying to recall what happened last night. I had a few drinks with my friends, I came back ho

CAMILLE'S POV.I sat quietly in the living room of Josh’s apartment, the soft hum of the refrigerator, and the faint ticking of the wall clock the only sounds accompanying my thoughts. The human world was still new to me, yet somehow, sitting here felt… safe.Because it was his home.Josh. What a l
I stood behind my bedroom door longer than I needed to that morning.My hand hovered over the doorknob, fingers flexing as if I needed to convince my own body to cooperate. I hadn’t slept much. Every time I closed my eyes, my mind replayed the image of Ashley standing in the living room under the h
