Semua Bab THE WEREWOLF AND VAMPIRE'S MATE: Bab 11 - Bab 20

AURORA'S POV: I open the door of the house slowly, trying to be as silent as I can so as to not bring attention to myself. The living room lights are turned off when I step inside. Heaving a sigh of relief, I tiptoe up the stairs. I turn the knob of my room door gently and lock it behind me. "Welcome home." A familiar voice booms from behind me. I flinch and almost hit my head against the door. Spinning around with immediate effect, my hands find the light switch and turn it off. Standing at my window sill is Jon. I almost jump into my skin with how scary he looks. "Why are you in my room?" I look at him pointedly. He shrugs and walks towards. With every step forward, I remember the fact that I probably have fang marks sitting pretty on my neck. I tighten the scarf around my neck, trying to be subtle with it but his eyes trail my movements. Shit. He is only one step away from me now. His height towers over my figure so I have to raise up my head to look at

AURORA’S POV: The scratch of pens, the low hum of the overhead projector, and the half-hearted drone of Mr. Haynes lecturing about cell division fill the classroom. I’m staring blankly at my notebook, pretending to take notes, but my thoughts are still tangled in the locker room incident and the strange, gold-eyed man who vanished like a ghost.I shouldn’t be thinking about it. But I am. "Seer," he’d whispered. The word echoes in my head like a bell tolling underwater. I don’t even know what it means. And worse, I haven’t told anyone. Not Jon. Not Arc. Especially not Arc.A crumpled note lands on my desk. I blink, glancing down. In messy, rushed handwriting, it says: You okay? You’ve been zoning out for ten minutes.- J I glance up. Jon is two rows ahead, angled just enough to watch me without making it obvious. Our eyes meet. He offers a small, concerned smile. Warm. Comforting. I smile back, but before I can write a reply, I hear the exaggerated clearin

Aurora’s POV: There’s something about the air today. It’s too still, too expectant. Like the sky itself is waiting for something to go wrong.After the announcement, the entire school practically combusts with excitement. There are whispers in every hallway, speculation about the itinerary, what cities we’ll visit, and who’s rooming with who. It’s all anyone can talk about.I try to care. I try to smile, nod, laugh at Cali’s jokes, but something inside me is still trembling from the blackout. From the spike. From Arc.Jon, however, is practically glowing. "You don’t understand," he says as we sit beneath a tree in the courtyard, late afternoon sun draping over us like a soft blanket. "I haven’t seen my mum in two months. Two bloody months." His accent thickens when he talks about home, and it makes something soft ache in my chest. "You’re really from there?" I ask, chewing on the straw of my smoothie. "Not just here to trick us all with your mysterious exchange student vibe

ARC’S POV: The second we step into the room, I already know it’s going to be a goddamn disaster. It smells like pinewood and overpriced cologne. Two twin beds sit across from each other with a narrow aisle between them. One window. One bathroom. Zero exits from the fact that I’m stuck with him. Although, on the plus side, it's a very spacious room. If I'm careful enough, I can avoid him totally. I will stay on my side and he will stay on his. Hopefully. Jon throws his bag onto one of the beds and turns to look at me like he’s been waiting to do this all day. "Of all the people I could’ve ended up with," he mutters, jaw tight. "Why the hell did it have to be you?" I close the door behind me and toss my duffel onto the floor. "Trust me, mutt, I’m not thrilled about it either."His nostrils flare. "Don’t call me that." "Then don’t act like one," I shoot back, stepping past him. Our shoulders bump. The tension is sharp, electric, thickening the air between us.Jo

AURORA'S POV: Arc's eyes narrow immediately, jaw clenching as he gestures to the two of them on the bed. "What’s going on? Where are you taking her?" Jon stiffens. "Relax. I’m just taking her to my mum’s place. For a meal. That’s all." Arc’s eyes flick to Aurora, then back to Jon. "You think dragging her all over town after last night is a good idea?" "It is not 'all over town', it is my house. She will basically just be sitting down and eating a meal. Quit the dramatics." Oh shit. I need to stop this before things escalate. I quickly interject, stretching her arms and flashing a sheepish grin. "Okay, tension police. I’m craving apple pie, and I’m starving. Like… genuinely could eat a dragon." Arc crosses his arms. "She shouldn’t be moving around so much, especially not with you. I don’t trust you to take care of her."Jon's face darkens immediately. This keeps getting worse. Jon’s voice sharpens. "Excuse me? Just because you were able to help her just once
