21- Second Chance Mate?
I rushed inside the main Gate, avoiding the stares of those who were already inside, scurrying my way to the elevator to reach the third floor.My heart beat accelerated just when the elevator door opened.More stares in my direction weighed me down.Of course, I don't look so presentable with dirt on my clothes but had I gone back home to change then New Alpha wouldn't hesitate to kick me out without an introduction.I noticed Sage standing among some of the guards, busy having a conversation.I approached her. "Hey, Sage.. I'm sorry I'm late.." I said quietly.She turned to me and her eyes traveled down my hoodie."What the hell?" She whispered, rather amused than shocked."I know I look horrible but I didn't have time to change" I sigh, glancing around the Hall that is not as crowded as the first floor."But how did it happen though?" She asked, grabbing my arm and leading me away from the Hall."A freak on the Bike did this!" I groaned, annoyed just at the mention of it.She snorted,

22- Double Trouble
"Here you go, back to your pretty face" Drax says, successfully wiping the dirt off my cheek.His electric blue eyes stayed focused on my cheek, more specifically on the wound given by Nikona."What?" I ask in disbelief, However my voice came out more of a surprise."What?" He asks back, flicking his gaze on me and my breath almost hitched at how truly mind-blowing his eyes are."What did you just say about my face?" I repeat.His brows frown into a cute scowl."Oh so you want me to compliment you again? I guess it's safe to assume you are now falling for my charms" He stepped forward, his shoes lightly bumping into mine in the process before his long slender finger twirls the strands of my hair."I'm not" I say quietly, tearing my gaze off him.A soft chuckle leaves his lips and I resist looking back at him.He stops playing with my hair and tuck the strands behind my ear, letting the whole wound on the show to the eyes of everyone.Before I could open my mouth to say something, his bre

23- The Strange Boy
My eyes widened in pure horror, for a fraction of a second I almost let out a yelp but keeping myself calm and collected, I approached the boy."Hello Elsa" He greets politely.I blink, then like a strong wave of tsunami, relief along with a pinch of confusion washes over me.I must have heard him wrong earlier."Hello, when did you come in and who dropped you?" I asked, bending down to reach his level.Now looking at him from up close, there's some weird familiarity coming off him.I couldn't quite grasp on it.Have I seen him before?"When you were looking at your phone" He said, turning his attention back to Kiara who was glaring at him."He is bad..bad boy" Kiara says, pointing her small finger at the boy, her finger brushes against his white shirt and he instantly steps back as if tarnished with her touch which makes Kiara even more furious."You are bad!" She yells loudly, throwing the stuffed teddy on the floor and lunging towards him, grabbing him by the collar of his shirt."Kia

24- Let's Dance the night away
"Damn how come I didn't realize earlier.My touch produces current?" Drax frowns, looking at his hands like he has never seen them before."What nonsense are you upto?" I exclaimed in both confusion and annoyance."I mean it has to be the case for you to react like that" He backs off, stuffing his hands in his jeans pocket.A soft cream color shirt with half the buttons undone, leaving his chest and the abs for the show.Why bother wearing it when he can't even button his shirt? Roam around shirtless instead.I almost scoffed, but controlled myself to meet his eyes that shine beautifully in the dark."Just don't touch me" I hissed out in a bitter tone, crossing my arms to my chest before attempting to move."Wait sweetheart" He calls out, stepping in front of me."What do you want?" My voice came out more furious than I intended."Why so mad? Cheer up a little.Life is not so boring" He arched an eyebrow, his eyes flicking down to my lips before returning back to my eyes."Shut up" I mut

Zion Pov"Listen Zion, Respectfully you need to move the f-ck on" Sat on the chair opposite the study table, my friend slash Beta Sage goes on and on again about the same topic.Despite the fact that I have made it very clear not to talk about second chance mates, that it is a forbidden topic yet the brunette before me is too ignorant when it comes to my decisions."It's been like what…wait," Her brows drawl in a deep scowl as she continues,"Six years to be exact.Fate itself has given you another chance at love and you are adamant not to break your lonely miserable depressed shell for what reason?"I pinch the bridge of my nose, attempting not to let her words get to me.I had thought dealing with constant new projects and the marketing was exhausting but Sage happens to prove me wrong by taking the spot.Having to hear her talk non-stop about one topic is exhausting.How she is still speaking, which literally is her repeating the statements in different words is beyond my understandin

29- Strange emotions
Elysia PovWe were walking for hours now, only getting deeper into the woods instead of getting out.I couldn't say anything to Drax because first, it's my fault that I threw his keys.Second, he looks a little too good and it's not healthy for me.The moment he stares at me, or speaks and does that flirty eye thing, a whole zoo of butterflies erupts in my stomach.Its weird and embarrassing.He is attractive, I won't deny that but the way I feel around him is something that scares me.I feel carefree unlike with every other men's presence.Even Zion, his presence makes me anxious and somewhat scared.The urge to hide from them is always strong but with this man, there's just something different.His electric blue eyes are soft, alluring and it's hard to not be lost in them.I shouldn't be feeling this way towards him.I don't even know him properly.I sigh, the exhaustion weighs down my bones and I stop by one of the huge trees, resting my palm against it for support.I look behind where Drax

30- Distress
I stepped back, slowly out of his hold and the more I look at his blank face, the more I feel ashamed of my actions.Oh how I wish this ground to open up and swallow me than spending another second filled with awkwardness here.It's better to keep my mouth shut.I stood there frozen, head filled with countless thoughts of regret until Drax cleared his throat and began to move.I quietly followed him, not knowing where we were heading to but as long as I didn't have to talk it's all good.After a while of walking, he stopped and signaled me to stop as well.He looked around, and I too sensed a shift in the air."What's going on?" I barely whisper out as fear settles in my chest.I scoot closer to Drax who stares down at me for a fraction of second before looking around the dark forest."Someone's here" He said quietly.It only worsened my anxiety.A cripple noise of branch snapping behind us ring in my ear causing me to flinch and scoot further close to Drax.We both look in the direction of
