Tom's POV   I smelled blood just as I parked my car and got down, I was tempted to grab an early snack but I couldn't - not after the way, Sharlynn treated me because of my natural lust for blood. I have been feeding on blood from blood bags instead and it honestly felt uninteresting because the thrill and excitement we derive from hunting our prey just before we feed was completely absent. But to please Sharlynn, I ignored the smell of blood and focused on going to my first class - history.    Honestly, the teacher knew nothing much of history, and the fact that I was five hundred and fifteen years old enabled me with enough information to keep him on his toes. I guess that explained why I was excited for his class this morning, the fact that I was late made me feel even better. There was nothing new about that - I've always been known for being notoriously late and today was no different. it was already 9 am, classes ought to have

Sharlynn's POVIt's been a short while since I let the rage and anger I felt take over me and I honestly feel caged. I have no memory of the time in the cave when they said I'd summoned Veilah. I only remember the way I left up until when I lost control. That day in the cave, Darren was in pain and was yelling because Aveera spelled the sun to shine through the cave, burning him endlessly and it broke my heart to see him that way because of me. I also felt awful because of Nikk and most especially Tom. They weren't my friends, frankly, Tom tried to kill me the first day he saw me but the fact that they risked everything to save me and they ended up lying lifeless and poisoned on the ground caused me pain. I'd never had friends before or people were willing to risk everything for me aside from my parents and Aliyah my late best friend. So seeing them distraught and in pain because of me caused me so much pain than I can endure, it reminde

Sharlynn's POV I woke up with a smile on my face, it was probably the same smile that was on my face when I slept last night. I had wanted to be naked underneath Darren's sheets as I lay by his side and that was what I got to experience all night. I giggled when I remembered how he had woke me up at night for more sex.  His arms were still on my waist since last night, since I was lying down on my side and with my back against him, I could feel his soft breathing as he slept. I wondered what he looked like when sleeping, it would be nice to watch him sleep and to be by his side when he wakes up. I lifted his arm from my waist and gently turned around to face him but he was already awake and was smiling at me.  " You're so beautiful when you sleep." He said and I grunted. I wanted to be the one to say that to him, he was always one step ahead, wasn't he? He smiled and kissed me softly on my lips while I wrapped my arms around his waist and pressed my

Sharlynn's POVIt didn't take too long - just a few minutes and Darren got better and his wounds healed thankfully.But Darren wasn't the only one I cared about so I warned Tom about Kyle just in case you tried anything funny or being more realistic, in case he tries to kill Tom. I put down my phone after calling Tom and then I spend some time with Darren and was tempted to sleep over at his place but I got a call from my mom saying she wouldn't be home tonight so I had to babysit my brothers who had still not forgiven me for... Something I was still not sure about. " Be careful on your way back Sharlynn," Darren said as I covered him with his sheets and I kissed him. " I've gotten a hang of my powers now, anyone who comes against me is gonna be in serious trouble. So, don't worry about me okay?" I said with a reassuring smile and he smiled too and closed his sleepy eyes. Though he had healed, he said that he still felt the stings

Kyle's POVI saw the horror and disgust in her eyes as she tucked her hair and blinked repeatedly, trying to process the fact that I had just insinuated that I had feelings for her. She looked beyond disgusted as she said, " if you really feel that way about me how could you treat me - "" - I know but at least hear me out - " I said as I tried to explain to her that she was wrong about me, that I was too proud to show my feelings to her so I showed it to her family. That was the only reason why I dropped off her mom and brothers at work and school and the reason why I babysit her little brothers while she was away being probably screwed by her boyfriend. Were my earlier sins so great that she couldn't see all that I've gone out of my proud ass way to do for her? I wanted to explain to her how I was taken aback by her beauty the day she almost tripped and I caught her but that day I felt threatened by the effect her beauty and innocence had on
