Semua Bab BOUND BY FOUR MOONS: The Omega's temptation : Bab 11 - Bab 17

“Alpha Silas, wh…what are you doing here?” I asked, trying to mask the look of fear on my face. After everything I learned about him, it wasn't a surprise that his mere presence scared me. “You don't want me here,” he said, as if he was sure of it. “Why? I wanted to see for myself how you're doing. I saved your life, little bird… I'm hurt.” His voice sounded displeased, and his eyes looked… hurt? I gulped, hurriedly shaking my head to deny his words, feeling guilty… and still scared. “I—I didn't… I was planning on finding you tomorrow to thank you for saving me and also to return your coat,” I lied smoothly, surprising even myself, and adding an extra bright smile to make it more believable. “Why don't I believe you?” He murmured, tilting his head as he studied me like a puzzle and taking a step toward me. However, damn my reflexes, I took a step back to create more space between us. “Are you scared of me?” He asked, his tone dripping with displeasure, and I frantically shook

Olivia Silas slowly lifted himself off me, but my hand had already moved; it harshly connected with his cheek, slapping him hard across the face. I wanted to slap myself for what I had done, my hands shamefully pulling on my robes to cover myself. This was truly awful, appalling! It went against all my life's teachings. I should be punished for committing such an atrocious deed. However, the pain in my fingers brought my thoughts to a screeching halt when I realized what I had done. Did I just slap Alpha Silas? Why wasn't my head rolling off my shoulders? What was he going to do to me? Would he kill me? I instinctively drag myself on the mattress away from him, panicking. I was scared to even look at him without knowing what to expect. “Olivia…” he called out, but I frantically shook my head. “No, don't come near me. Stay away from me,” I hiss, dragging myself on the bed to put distance between us. “Olivia, stop. I won’t hurt you, okay… look at me… Calm down, alright? I won't

The man standing in the hallway didn't possess the predatory heat of Nikolas or the chilling magnetism of Silas. Standing before me was Alexander, Headmistress Adelaide’s personal aide, looking stiff like a statue carved from gray stone. His uniform was buttoned to the chin, and his eyes held the flat, bored expression of someone who had seen a thousand girls break under the weight of this academy. “Sir Alex…”“Miss Quinn,” he interrupted me, his voice a monotone that made my skin crawl. “The headmistress requires your presence immediately. You are to come with me without delay… alone." I stiffened, even when I had already predicted the reason why Alexander would be here in front of my suite. Chloe reached out to grab my arm, her large eyes filled with a silent apology. She had also figured it out. I shook my head to dispel her worries. “It's okay,” I whispered, before following Alexander. I felt like a prisoner being led to the gallows as I walked through the gilded hallway

Two hours earlier… Silas The North was ice, and the South was fire, and right now, the woods behind the academy were screaming with the collision of both. Two wolves blurred through the trees, chasing each other like enemies, their auras clashing like a storm. Silas felt the snap of Nikolas’s jaws inches from his throat, his midnight black fur a sharp contrast against Nikolas's golden-furred body, a blur of heat and muscle. Silas continued to run, refusing to shift back to his human form as he let his shadows bleed into the forest floor, turning the bright morning into a choked, grey twilight. This time around, the friends weren't training. They were purging the venom that had been building since the moment Silas walked into the Southern wing yesterday.After chasing and tugging for an eternity, they broke apart, and the sound of cracking bones echoed through the clearing as they shifted back. Nikolas didn't even wait to find his footing before he lunged, his fist connecting w
