Nova stared at the photo displayed on the screen of her cellphone.
It was her boyfriend Lucas kissing his new girlfriend or "old" girlfriend like he had put it.When did it all end, she thought.A week ago he was all over her, doing the most for her to accept him as her boyfriend but now that she had accepted him, he was already making her regret it by dumping her already?Lest she forgot, she was not dumped, she was just used as a "stand in" like Lucas has put it.He had just used her as a stand in to replace his girlfriend who had travelled out of the country for a summit her parents had registered her for abroad.Never in her life had she felt so used and dumped.The audacity to send her a video of him making out with his new girlfriend or the old girlfriend, whatever she was to him, how would he dare send her a video of them making out?To spite her?To make her feel jealous?To feel superior?Holy cow, he wasn't even that handsome.His nose did not accentuate his face anyway, and he was medium height.He wasn't tall like her dream man.Did he know whom she was or what her grandmother was.Did he....... She thought loudly to herself to herself, her visible disgust not hidden from her face.She stood from the balcony of her house she was in and left.Today was Saturday, schools did not hold and it wouldn't be until 8pm before her grandmother would return for her lessons on how to wield powers from different realms.Sometimes she did not understand why her grandmother was going all the miles to ensure she taught her powers and chants even though she did not know how to perform them herself. Wouldn't it be better for her to learn the super powers or whatever it was she always called it by herself and exert her vengeance by herself for herself.What was the use of always involving her in her own affair. She thought.It was 6pm,she had two hours before her grandmother returned.She thought of going to Lucas' house to confront him but thought against it.It was useless anyway. Besides they didn't have a thing to begin with.Perhaps he has sent her the video to spite her because she had refused making out with him the other day at the women's toilet at school.He was crazy, crazy crazy.An idea occured to her.She decided to go to a club house and make out with anyone too and send the video to him too.To spite him of what he couldn't get from her.It seemed like a better idea to her. "An eye for an eye and a tooth for a tooth" she owed him no loyalty anyway, considering how she had been used as a stand in for his main girlfriend.Within a few minutes she was at the "Silver Phoenix", it was the clubhouse famous amongsts the students of Midnight Hollow School for the Supernatural, a school where both humans and supernatural beings schooled without anyone knowing who was who."You're not allowed in miss, your ID says that you are under 18" went the security who prevented her from entering." I am not under 18! I am already 18! Don't you see it in the ID card? I will be 18 next week. Today is already Saturday, I will be 18 in five days time" she yelled, transferring the aggression that filled her to the security who stood his guard on not letting her in unless she came with a guardian or an "older friend".This disgusted her. Why wouldn't he just let her in since she had 5 days remaining to turn Eighteen."I will go in with her" came a voice behind her.She looked back. He was handsome, that was all she noted. He was handsome.She looked at the security and smirked and went in."Much for all the troubles" she said and went in, leaving him to confirm the age of her "helper""A goblet of Bacchanalian Brew please" she ordered, watching the waiter not move from where she stood."Sorry, but I was informed that you are still underaged, hence I can't serve you your request"" Oh wow"" A goblet of Bacchanalian Brew please" came the voice from her back.It was her helper. Was he ordering her same order to showoff to her or what? She thought." Alright. I know that you helped me get in, but I think you should stop following me by now" she told him" Follow you? I came here to behold Phoenixes newest dancers" he said pointing at the girls who stood on the platform, some vaguely dressed and some not, dancing to all who cared to look.She smirked her face and left him to mix in with the crowd.Boys she thought, he was just like Lucas, perverts always looking for opportunities."Oh yeah, shake your body!! Yohh yohhhh!!! " She screamed on top her lungs as she danced like other people she saw were. She tried to fit in while hunting for whom she'd use to spite Lucas, he wasn't that important to her but she would spite him too like he had done. " You dance beautifully, though you still seem like an amateur" came a voice behind her ears.She sighed, it must be her " follower", turning she realized he was the one truly.She faces her back and moves without speaking to him.She saw a boy passing her by and pulled him close to her and kissed him. But she was shunned by his girlfriend who came and dragged him away from her.So much for men who couldn't turn women down. Were their girlfriends meant to be the ones to fight women in their behalf? She shaked her head.She touched her lips. It had a weird taste. Perhaps the drink the guy she had kissed took. But the kiss was short lived and she didn't get to capture it.She moved on, with her phone clutched tight to her hands, she moved to find the next prey." You won't find a guy to kiss that way. A word of advice from me actually. If you repeat what you did before, you might not walk away from here tonight alive. Hidden beneath most girls here are powers they inherited from their bloodlines, you wouldn't want to mess with any of them to avoid being killed"There he went again with his unsolicited talks and advice, she turned again. This time, she did not speak to him.Instead she took the drink her held from his hands and gobbled the remaining down her throat." What if I pay you then? What if I paid you to kiss me? Would a girl kill me as well?"" Depends on the type of kiss you want to pay me for" be said advancing his steps towards her."Pervert" she muttered under her breathe." A pervert only for you" he said smiling. " Most women don't get to see this part of me" he continued." I'm not most women and I really don't care" she replied and turned to walk away."Where are you going?" He asked her, grabbing her by her arms. She noticed he was stronger than she and seemed determine."To see a friend" she lied, hoping he'd let her go. She wanted to go. This stranger smelled like trouble and seemed like one."I don't see anyone looking like your friend anywhere around here" he says, slowly moving closer to her.His hand was gripping her arm and she watched helplessly as his second hand swiftly moved to her waist.She did not know whether she was hypnotized that instant but all she knew was that she stood numb, watching him have his way touching her.He looked down at her meeting her brown eyes, he lowered his gaze down to her lips.He stared at her lips, tilting his head a little as he gets closer.The tip of his sharp tongue nudged hers. She noticed she was bleeding and he did too, which made him hesitant to do anything further.She didn't fail to notice it, so she leans closer, brushing her lips against his."That would cost you five Diamonds" be said, shifting from her and retracting his hands from her body."Oh well excuse me" she said waving her cell phone." I didn't tell you to kiss me yet, besides, I didn't get to capture it. Why would I pay you for what you did out of your own accord?"Realizing she had come with the intention of recording herself kiss someone, he smiled." Why are you smiling?" She asked him."Do you want me to show you something better than being kissed?" He asked.She shuddered, and accepted to take his arms which he had offered her, seduced by the sin lurking in front of her. She wanted to feel and experience what was better than being kissed.The Club lights burned her eyes to be honest.She felt a little bit overwhelmed too following this stranger. But what surprised her the most was how she followed him so he could show her what was greater than kissing.When he had said that to her, she had felt it, she had grown curious.He took her to where his car was.She stared at him. Who was he? She kept asking herself. Was he one of the magical girls he had spoken about too?His car had wings.She had seen cars that had wings before but they were reserved for those who owned Emeralds. The richest people in the community.Only the Ivy League girls at school were lucky to be brought to school in such cars.He beckoned on her to come closer, which she did.He carried her up, and placed her on top of the car. "Open your legs" he told her which she obeyed, giving him a space to stand in between them.He then starts kissing her. He bit her bottom lip and this made her catch her breath.She found out she was bleeding again.She looked
Damien had always had dreams.He had always had dreams about a woman.He always saw her in his dreams.She was always beautiful in them but she was not whom he wanted to see.He desired Freya, the Omega daughter of his father's friend who had died while defending their pack against a Vampire attack once.She was strong, stronger than most men of the pack. She did not dress like a female nor carry herself like one, instead she always trained to be better than others and even him.No one had ever been able to beat her, she was their teacher, she taught him and the other growing pack members how to fight with their physical strength, as well as how to use their claws and fangs against their opponents.She was also the one who helped them discover how to make use and control their speed and agility. She taught them alot and he has found himself falling for her.But he couldn't say it. His father wouldn't let it be because the Moon Goddess was the one who gave Werewolves their mates, she
Kate looked at the clock that was in the living room, something was definitely wrong with Nova.This was the first time she was waking up late for her lessons, the first time she had missed a lesson too considering how she returned late the other night and how she went to sleep immediately.She also reeked of a foreign cologne that wasn't hers neither was it used by her.She had noticed how she went to her room without even checking to see if her grandmother was still up to explain why she returned late not why she missed her demon training.Perhaps she was rebelling. Or was the wolfsbane she had been giving not enough to expell her wolfy features?Was she going to wolf out on her Eighteenth birthday which was a few days coming. Was he going to try finding her roots, forgetting the task which she had been training her.Questions and more swam through out Kate's mind as she wondered what could be wrong with her adolescent granddaughter.Her attention got shifted by Nova's cellphone tha
The Moon goddess walked back to her shrine. The soft glow of her presence resonated and illuminated the leaves of where she walked pass.Her face was covered, no one had seen her face before.She always had a black veil dolled over her face. She had a human shape. She was the one who did.Others could change their figures if need be but they could not be in their human shapes for too long. They usually went back to their normal wolf forms at the dawn of night. But the moon goddess was always in her human form. This made it a little wonder as to how she was able to achieve it and how she could see even with her face she always had dolled up with a black veil that hid her looks.She felt it at first as a faint prickling at the edge of her senses. No one would dare. She thought. Everyone revered her because she beared the Oracle's words to them. No wolf would dare.But then a whisper of caution made her glance around.She could tell because she could notice. Shadows seemed to shift, the
Kate stormed into their home with fury etched all over her face. Without any word, she kept on dragging Nova by her arms till they reached the dimly lit living room of their old, creaky house. Nova stumbled and fell to the floor, not shocked by her grandmother's sudden outburst, it has become a familiar scene. One that replayed too often in their strained relationship.She had witnessed it most times. This scene was always familiar to her, she had grown with it for years and had gotten used to it. Atleast the scars on most parts of her body were testaments of it. It wasn't the first time. In the past when her face etched with this kind of fury, Nova always wondered if she were truly her grandmother or if she was adopted because the punishment's she gave her then made her always want to run away from her."Why can't you ever do anything right?!!" Kate's voice was sharp, cutting through the silence like a blade. Nova remained silent, her gaze fixed on the floorboards beneath her feet.
Lucien was back at his castle. It had been a long night for him searching for the blood he had heard it's scent to no avail. He was frustrated and annoyed and laid on his bed writhing as he was loosing his strength.The head Sentinel Darian Stormrider, watched him from the window of his room. He had immediately understood what was happening to him and had instructed another sentinel to deliver to the others and bring one of their female breeders for him.When they had brought her, he had pushed her into the room and locked it from the outside, he and the other sentinels had left.The girl had cried her hearts out before she entered the Royal Chamber room, only keeping quiet as she was pushed in, knowing that any noise coming from her would make her have a death more painful than the one her fellow late breeders had encountered in the past.She was just the daughter of one of the breeders, she had been born in the Vampires realm. Her human mother had been brought in when the agreement
Night had fallen when the maids of the Gothic palace had the body of the breeder that had her blood consumed thoroughly cleaned and placed in a sack awaiting Darian Stormrider's orders.As per the norm, he would journey out at night and go meet his spies from the Werewolf realm and give them the body.Even though they were humans too, that didn't bother them anymore as they were not in the same rank as the breeders.They preyed on it. Vampires consumed blood while the werewolves fed on the body, and as a fee for them helping him out as his spies and take tellers from the adversaries kingdom, he always brought the dead body of whatever breeder that had their blood consumed to them.Werewolves had stopped hunting for their human preys ever since the Demon hunters killed one of their own that hunted a human once and wanted to prey on her body.Since then, they had sticked to hunting wild animals of the forest and bushes for consumption.Feeding on the body of a human was a luxury that ex
Nova stared at the moon wishing for hope as she was losing strength. Her powers could not compete with that of her grandmother's.She had tried different psychic ways to make the cage loose but each time, she always failed to break it, and her little strength too. For the past 17 years she had lived with her grandmother, she had always wondered whether her grandmother was really her late mother's mother. She always treated her coldly and this had always left her wondering what situation could have happened to her in the past that made her become this way. This was the second day she had locked her out of the yard. She was inside the cage, under the half Moon, she was weak and feeble.It was possible for her to survive the other days her grandmother had her locked in her room without food. She could bear it because then, she had always had snacks and junks hidden in different corners of her room but now that she was locked outside in the cage with no blanket and nobody to help her
