Lola's POVA full bucket of water splashed all over my body, jerking me from the sleep that had drifted me away from reality. My eyes fluttered wide as I used my palm to rub off the water on my face so I could clearly see who did it."What the hell are you doing on the floor? Sleeping? " Torian's voice rang in my head, and I quickly stood up in fear, but my brain was hazed at that moment. I could see him all dressed up for school, and that really put me in more confusion about how I ended up sleeping on the floor instead of getting prepared for school too."Are you keeping quiet about my question? You haven't even set the food on the dining table and here you are dozing peacefully?" His brows were all raised as he snorted and sneered at me like trash."I am sorry..." I mumbled and swallowed the lump in my throat while shivering a bit from the chills i was feeling due to the water that had drenched me up."I think you are tired of living.

Jace's POVIt was late in the morning the next day before I was able to gather the courage to go to school. It has been hours since I was done dressing up. But the fear in me wasn't letting me step out of my room. All I felt inside me was anxiety and dread.It wasn't this way yesterday when I met him, as I never had the reason to fear this much since Bella had made me realize it wasn't too bad having the vampire prince enrolled in the school as it would give us the upper hand in setting him up to his death.Why then did my heart pound so much this morning on realizing that he would be waiting for me out there along the road? Even though it was a cool morning and all my windows were open, there was still sweat on my forehead and palms. It seemed to me like I was about to do something so terrible, something that would take many lives and endanger lives.As I thought of the possibility of ambushing the vampire prince after getting him enrolled, I also shuddered at what he would be planni

Blake's POV.Never in my life have I been this confused. My eyes were on the girl that was just whipped, and I can't tell why i was feeling concerned about her cries. She was in deep pain and had even fallen off the desk when the men stopped hitting her, showing how exhausted she was. I watched her eyes shut as she lost consciousness. My brows arched when my heart clenched with a little pain, which I don't know where it crept in. It hurt me that the strange girl was beaten to the extent of fainting.Why? Who is she?That was the question I asked myself while gazing at her face."How dare you stop what I was doing?" I heard someone yell, but as much as I wanted to check who it was, I still couldn't take my eyes off the tortured girl who was motionless on the floor with her legs bleeding.She had been flogged so brutally that her skin was torn and swollen. I kept wondering what she must have done. From her appearance and scent, she was a werewolf and not a vampire or demon, so why would

I sat there on the ground watching his receding figure as it disappeared. He really walked out of the ward and left me in the hands of Torian and Sophia. The last words he said pierced my heart so deeply that I lost my breath. There was an intense hatred and rage in his eyes when he said those words...I couldn't see any warmth or pity. It was so clear that he didn't care about me. For real, he had lost his memories and doesn't remember me anymore. I was like a stranger to him. All the sacrifices I had made, which had destroyed my life and resulted in the death of my parents, were all in vain as he couldn't recall anymore.Hot tears warmed up in my eyes as my heart grew heavier in pain, thumping hard as the urge to cry pumped hard inside me. My eyes were still stuck at the door where he had just passed through. My pitiful self wished he would suddenly come back and save me from Torian, but it was all part of those wishes that never came to reality. "Did he just call me a fool? And he

My head was suddenly banging hard as I forced it to remember the past as it was crystal clear something had happened when I was hunted by those pack warriors, which I couldn't remember again. Now I have no doubt that Lola saved me, but why I can't remember it is something hard for me to understand.All I can remember is being chased a few days ago when I snuck into this pack in my vampire nature, only hiding my scent and putting on a hood. Nothing else! How Iater survived that day was no longer registered in my head, which was so strange.I lay my head on the desk with closed eyes as I kept racking my brain and suffering more headaches, which seemed like they would sear out my eyes. Everything seemed to be spinning around me, forcing me to grunt as all my efforts to recall weren't showing any results.I thought of shoving everything out of my mind, but the urge to recall what Lola had done for me was so strong. If she had betrayed the wolf community to save just me, then I would owe
