I had thought I would die. The speed was so great. I had never seen a savaged demon before and I guess she was one of them. There was fury in her eyes, her body burned with rage, her claws were so sharp and craved skin to pierce. She looked so deadly. My eyes were shut tightly as I saw her rush at me with those great powers and magic. It was enough to shred me into pieces. "Elf, please...." I had mumbled under my breath waiting for her strike, but then I felt nothing. Something strange really happened. It seemed like I was controlled by an unseen force, it was so unusual and I never thought I could do such a thing, the force came from inside me, and even with the great speed she had, my hand still caught her throat so easily and before I could know it, I pushed her away forcefully and was shocked at the powe

  I stared at the picture with my mouth agape. I couldn't believe it, and for a few seconds I thought it was a mere illusion. She just mentioned that he was her crush, and now I expected to see someone else. I expected to see a random man who caught her heart, only to see the last person I thought it could be. This left me weak. I couldn't do anything; my heart was heavy now and I felt like crying. It was the last thing I wanted in life. I glanced at the picture again and saw him. The man was the same that had caught her heart at first sight, the very man I believed could be my mate. This was t

 "Dorian, you saw that?" I fluttered my eyes, wondering what it all meant. Like, how does this relate together? What the fucking hell is Elena's picture doing with her!! I couldn't just help the sudden spike of rage and envy that filled my heart. That was the drawing of Elena, and the most shocking part is that he cherished that thing so much and wouldn't even leave it in their hands for long. He actually came back to take it from them, like for real? "What does Elena have to do with him?" Dorian asked, and I swallowed the huge lump in my throat, flickering my eyes. "Does it mean that he was here looking for her and not me?" I asked, thoughtfully shaking my head at the same time, I just don't want to think of that. There was no way he would be here for a demon-like Elena, someone everyone rejects and hates, "Let's go to school. You will get the chance to know the truth of all this then. I mean, you get to ask him what he got with a rejected soul.

 "And you aren't afraid? Do you know what would happen to you?" One of the friends asked, with a raised brow, "Take me in!" I shouted in frustration; my time was running out and they were busy asking annoying questions. I badly need to see him today, even if I'll be killed thereafter. I bit my lower lips and turned back to the gate. I pushed it, wishing it was going to open like magic, but there was no single movement. I hissed and rested my head there. I shut my eyes in exasperation. Lena was also glumly, Dad and the warriors might be back now, and they won't find me. The worst part was that I didn't even get to see him. I would still be punished. That was absolutely a waste of time and suffering. "Are you looking for someone inside there?" I heard a girlish voice and I turned quickly only to see a student of my age. She was dressed in the school uniform and had two men at her sides. My eyes moved over her whole body then to the car besi

  "Is this you?" I mumbled to myself, feeling my whole body shiver at just her stare. Her eyes were piercing into mine and I couldn't help walking closer to get a clearer view of this angel who had struck my heart with sudden love at first sight. "Elena," I muttered her name under my breath, and she couldn't move or make any movement. All she did was stare at me. I could see pure emotions in those eyes. I could see it shimmering as she would cry. I walked closer, filling the gap between us, yet she wouldn't move. I got to where she sat, and she gasped. "What is your name?" She asked and my heart twitched at that tiny voice. It was making my heartthrob. Kane, my wolf, was leaping and squealing in joy. He felt this was his mate, but I couldn't tell myself. I still don't want to believe Dad lied to me about not having a mate, and even if she is my mate, it would be almost impossible to work. "My name is Jason. What are you do
