All Chapters of The silver wolf and the vampire Prince: Chapter 31 - Chapter 40

The next day marked the start of my classes. Because Xian was well-known there, he couldn't walk me to school and instead just hailed a cab for me. This was a massive change in my life. After nearly five years out of school, I was returning to my studies, and I honestly didn't know how things would turn out for me. I learned that this military academy was the country's premier institution, attended by many scions of influential families. Werewolves and vampires are renowned for their raw strength and speed, which is why a large number of them serve in the military or police force. I was nervous on my first day, but thankfully, there were other female students in my classroom. It brought me peace of mind knowing I wouldn't be the only woman attempting to study here. On my first day, I met Veronica and Aida, both female werewolves studying to become soldiers. Just like Maxine and Xian's stories, they were attending the academy because of parental expectations. "So, the two of you

The next day, I simply went back to school and focused on my studies—especially since I needed to catch up on a month's worth of missed lessons. During my free time, I had to head to the library so I could study properly. It was much better to study there because it was quiet and there were very few people around. Even so, no matter how much I wanted to focus on my schoolwork, I couldn't get Maxine's words out of my head. I considered Maxine a friend. No, I preferred to think of her as an older sister, and even though she spoke harshly to me, I wanted to maintain my respect for her. It was clear to me that she disapproved of my relationship with Xian, and I figured she had her reasons for saying those things. It was discouraging, but did I really have the right to be angry with her? I let out a sigh as I rested my chin on the table, replaying what had happened in her car yesterday. "You can think that I'm paying you off, or maybe I just want to help you the same way Xian does. T

Xian's POV. The next morning, we were already preparing early for work. Even though I usually arrive at the office ahead of time, Elaine still made sure to take care of me. As I stepped out of the bathroom, the aroma of the food Elaine was cooking drifted from the kitchen. Since the kitchen is right along the path to the bedroom, I saw her setting the dining table. Noticing me, she immediately greeted me with a warm smile. "Good morning, Xian. Breakfast is ready. Come on, let's eat," she greeted cheerfully. I smiled back and thanked her. "Thanks for taking care of me. Let me just go change my clothes," I replied. A few minutes later, after getting dressed, we sat down together to share breakfast at the table. Since her shift starts at eight in the morning, I always worried about her waking up so early just to prepare meals for me. "Elaine, I told you we can just order food from downstairs so you wouldn't have to go through the trouble of cooking," I said. "Cooking a few fried

After a few minutes, we stayed in the room to continue the party. I knew it wasn't good that I seemed to be avoiding Elaine, but I didn't get the chance to talk to her because she was busy chatting with Claire and Hannah. I was glad to see them mingling and talking with Elaine even though they were only meeting her for the first time. They were laughing together, oblivious to the fact that they were complete strangers. Wrong. They were only being nice because they didn't know our true relationship. But what would happen once they found out? Would their acceptance of Elaine remain the same? I sighed, feeling unsettled by worries I wasn't even certain of. The truth was, I didn't know if I should even be stressing over it, especially since I had no plans of ever telling them. Claire, Mike, Aron, and Hannah were part of the Dracula clan. Even though they weren't the eldest children, it was still important to them that I become the next leader of the Dracula family. In truth, they o

A few hours later, we went out for a stroll and, just like before, headed to the theater to watch the resident pianists perform. Ivy loved music and would always watch these performances whenever we went out back then. Before she enlisted in the military, music was her entire life. However, because she was chosen by the Black Rose family to be my bride and marry the future Dracula, she had to abandon her career and become a soldier. I didn't quite know how to feel. Even though I disliked her and refused to accept our relationship as lovers, I couldn't bring myself to be angry at what she had done. A pang of guilt hit me whenever I saw her smiling and happy, holding my hand. I felt like a terrible person for pushing her away when she had committed no crime other than obeying her family. After the show, we went to one of the rooms where she had arranged to borrow a piano so she could perform. It was an empty theater room with barely two hundred seats for the audience. "What are yo
