FREYA'S POV:The two days I had remained to recover in the clinic passed excruciatingly slowly, I almost lost my mind. Xena’s presence, however, was the only thing that had made it all bearable, still all that while, my mind fell back to Silas and our kiss. I know it’s stupid for me to ponder long on something that should mean nothing more than an action based on passing feelings, yet I caught myself occasionally touching my lips, imagining the warmth he had given off, how it had spread through my entire being.My wolf is more restless than ever, clawing at the walls of my mind, adding to my torture, brooding on the same reason; why Silas hadn’t dropped by since the kiss.The two days of my recovery passed before I was finally let to return to my dorm with Xena. I didn’t realize just how much I missed this four walls of my plain dorm room till now.I crash onto my more softer bed compared to the literal brick I was forced to lay on for days.“

SILAS' POV:I watch her retreat as she leaves, not once does she turn back to look at me.Fuck.She’s definitely pissed again.I sigh, running my fingers through my hair, messing hours of styling. But right now, it’s the least important thing on my mind.I hate to admit it but she’s all I’ve been thinking about since the kiss and I can’t deny anymore the seconds, hours and days I had waited to do that again and I only fucked it up more.Things are sort of falling into place, she let me kiss her twice without slapping me in the face… I was winning and yet, why do I feel like a pile of shit right now?I wipe away the sticky lipstick on my lips unintentionally recalling her soft tender lips, the feel of her silky smooth skin, the heat oozing from her body and god, the moans from her lips.Fuck, I’m going crazy. She’s going to ruin me“Did that just happen?” Lucas asks after seconds. I forgot he was still there.“Freya just walked o

FREYA'S POV: “Sit down, Freya Willows, I want to have a word with you.”My body moves automatically against my will. I sit down robotically on my seat. For a very brief moment, I see the gem necklace around his neck subtly glimmering an ominous red hue before going dull again and the control of my body returns instantly.I pant for air, suddenly able to breathe again. I take as much as possible into my once sealed lungs.“Perfect.” He’s still smiling but I know for sure it doesn’t mean anything well.My mind is already in full panic. He knows my secret I bet, there’s no other explanation. Somehow, the wizard's spell isn’t powerful enough to trick even the Alpha King — I should have known that. I should have stayed within my limits, far away from ever encountering him.My eyes sting, growing wet with tears but I blink them away, wanting to show no weakness even in this situation.He watches my every reaction in full amusement.“I wonder

FREYA'S POV:"So, Miss Willows, this is your new school schedule containing the timetable for all your new classes.”The middle-aged woman hands me a brown file bag containing the information. I take it from her hands, slowly pulling out the papers and just going through them briefly.It’s been two days after the whole traumatizing dinner event and just when I plan to toss myself into heavy school work for next week’s quiz, the carpet under my feet gets pulled again and this news gets strung on me.It's like I’m stuck in a spiral of bad events.All the classes are really different from the ones I’ve been attending for the past three months. Like entirely different, with most of them located in a completely different building — a good distance away from the old one.“It’s a pity. Had we known you were homeschooled for most of your life, we would have put you in a more fitting program for struggling students to help you adjust perfectly.” She spe

SILAS' POV:I haven’t seen Freya in two whole days. It was like she had deleted herself off the surface of the earth.She was mad for some unknown reason the last time we had spoken, walking out on me. Now, she was clearly trying to avoid me. I just know it.It’s typical for a girl to want to be chased, so I guess this is what it is. It makes them feel special and valued, I suppose. The key to a girl’s heart was basically partaking in the chase and sweeping her off her feet.Yet, I did all that and now, she was in hiding. I give it two more days at least before she realizes just how much she misses my attention. And comes crawling out of whatever hole she’s hiding in.It has always worked this way.As soon as the school bell rings, I’m standing right in front of the Nature Chemistry lab and looking down at my wristwatch.The bell rings just in time. It would take approximately 2 minutes for her to finish up on her project, gather her
