Chapter 21: Whipped
NYX’s POVExhaustion weighed upon us as we dragged ourselves to the nearest coffee shop close to the pleasure park. It was quite fascinating to see a coffee shop open in the evening, but of course, I should know that the human world is different from our realm in many ways than one.“Are you okay?” Clyde asked me as we drew closer to the shop. “Are you kidding? I should be asking you that.” Came my reply, unable to hide the perplexity in my voice. Clyde chuckled, gently taking my hand in his immediately we arrived at the coffee shop. It was a quaint, little shop with murals painted in warm colors covering the perimeter of the walls. The aroma of fresh coffee beans and cream made me instantly relax, a sigh escaping my lips. The six of us quickly found the biggest table in the shop and made ourselves comfortable, which was quite easy because the shop was nearly empty.Cindy dropped down on her chair, the back of her palm on her head as she let out a dramatic sigh.“Tsk, tsk, tsk….toda

Chapter 22: Caught
Nyx’s POVI winced as dried leaves scrunched under our feet as we snuck through the west wilderness back to our hideout at the academy. I could hear my heartbeat in my ears as each slammed harder than the last.“Shhh!” Clyde snapped his head around, wearing a frown. “Be quiet!” His voice was a harsh whisper, shooting us earring glares before we resumed our walk.We drew closer to the old shack which lead to the bunker, trying to avoid being seen by the watchers in the forest. “Gosh, we made it!” Cindy whispered in excitement.“Not yet, we don’t know what could happen next.” Just like Gus replied, we were ridden with uncertainty about what lay ahead of us.“What is that?” Elrond asked, pointing to a shadow close to the shack.“Probably just a tree shadow,” Clyde said and no one countered him because we all weren’t sure of many things because of the trick of the night.“Welcome.”I was drenched in cold dread at the familiar voice of aunt Garcia and as I turned around, I hoped it was

Chapter 23: Punished
Nyx’s POVMy blood ran cold and all I could hear were the haunting words of Aunt Gracia replaying in my ears.“Your case will be taken up by the guardians.”The weight of the words caused me to stagger backwards, with tears stinging my eyes as I stared wide-eyed at the emotionless face of my mother’s sister.“M-miss Pendleton…”“Save it.” she shoved her palm dismissively at my face and it was clear that my pleas were going to fall on deaf ears.“Damn, she’s doomed…” I heard Gus’ trembling voice whisper behind me and the reality of my situation glared at my face.The guardians…my fate was in the hands of the guardians.The Guardians were a council of seven powerful beings representing every kingdom in the realm which are the demigods, witches, fairies, werewolves, vampires, sirens and elves. There were other smaller clans like the banshees and trolls, but these seven were the most powerful in the realm. I’d never been summoned by the guardians before but I’ve gone through Salvador’s c

Chapter 24: Night School
Nyx's POV“Where are we going?” I asked Aunt Garcia whose wiry fingers were wrapped around my wrists as she dragged me along with her through the west woods. All that greeted my ears were the chirping of crickets and the hoots of an eastern screech owl reverberating through the forest and I wondered if Aunt Garcia heard my question. Night had completely befallen us now and the only measly source of light was the crescent moon that shone in the midst of twinkling stars. A shudder coursed through me as icy wind drifted to and fro. I was cold, tired and hungry, letting Aunt Garcia pull me along as she took long strides through the bushy paths.I might have been surrounded with darkness, but it was clear as day that we weren’t heading back to the dorms, except this was an unfamiliar route I’d never taken before.Several moments passed and we were still plunging deeper into the woods. The alarms in my head began to go off, fear slowly crippling my racing mind.“A-Aunt Garcia…” I stutter

Chapter 25: Shocking Truth
NYX's POVAs soon as the giant Mahogany doors slammed shut after Aunt Garcia, Narek’s saccharine smile suddenly disappeared and his jolly exterior was replaced with a frown.“Look what you’ve gotten yourself into.” He shook his head, regarding me with his pair of icy blue eyes.Unable to hold his cold gaze, I looked away. I didn’t come here to be lectured about my act of rebellion. Can we just get on with today’s class without all of these dramas?“Well, what did I expect?” He let out a scoff, circling me slowly in a predatory motion.“You’re just a typical spoiled princess who seizes every opportunity to get herself some extra attention…” He paused, wearing a mocking sneer on his lips.“…and to think I had expected something more from an Uren heir.”Those harsh words cut through the last string of restraint I’d held onto for my dear life and courtesy went flying off the window. I was done with this man always treating me like dirt. If he was going to be an asshole, then it was about

Chapter Twenty Five: On Her Payroll
Nyx POV“Why did my aunt send me to you?” I asked, watching Narek as he scribbled on that little note of his. His blond hair had grown since the last time I saw him, falling freely over his face.Just like I expected, I got no answer to my questions. That won’t stop me from trying to find out all I needed to. This man knew a lot more about me than I had thought, and it was only fair I made my own enquiries, even though he seemed like a tough nut to crack.“So…are you one of the guardians? Is that why she sent me to you?” Narek paused, slowly raising his head from the book he was previously buried in. His sparkling blue eyes glared at me…hard. I swallowed, clamping my mouth shut before it got me into trouble but I knew it was only a matter of time before curiosity gets the best of me again.I watched him pull out an ancient scroll, spreading it out in front of him. The scripts looked runic, and ancient, like a language that has gone extinct.“Damn, you must be really old to be able to

Chapter Twenty Six: Banter
Narek’s POVI stared hard at the girl in front of me, whose eyes wielded the same intensity as mine.I had no idea she’d be such a handful. Ms Pendleton painted her to be an angel but the girl in front of me was far from angelic, even though her features appeared to be.“What did you say?” I asked her as she slowly rose to her feet, holding on to my stern gaze.“I’m not going to let you toss me around. I’ve had enough of that.” She growled. Easy there, tiger.“Look, I don’t have time for any of this drama, Uren princess and I couldn’t care less about the unfortunate events that have taken place in your life, so you either get out, or kneel as punishment for your misbehaviour.”I had my eyes on her, watching her every move, but nothing prepared me for what she did next.I could have sworn she’d gone mad, because she swung her hand toward my face, trying to hit me but I stopped her midway and her hands hung there in the air.“Are you out of your mind?” I snapped, keeping her hands hangin

Chapter twenty Seven: Too Weak?
Chapter 25 Nyx POV I walked out of the temple that night in utter confusion, still dumbfounded about what went down back there. One moment I was lashing out at Narek as his words stung my soul, the next moment I felt power burst out of me, engulfing me whole. I tried to wrap my head around what happened, but it made no sense. I wasn’t a witch or a powerful fae so how in the world did that happen? Besides, witches need wands and spells before they can perform magic, but what happened back there wasn’t connected to any spell I may have thought of or muttered. Was that a new form of magic or was I just a freak of nature with unharnessed powers? I wondered if Aunt Garcia or mother knew about this. I had so many unanswered questions but there was no one to answer them. What made this even more perplexing was that Narek denied it ever happening. Why did he have to lie? The glimpse of shock in his eyes made me suspicious that he had to be hiding something. I stopped by a pond, staring

Chapter 28: Confrontation
Otis's POVMy blood boiled with anger as I walked through the woods in the dark of the night, relying on my wolf vision to guide my path. I couldn’t believe that Narek Carne dude had the guts to punish my Nyx Uren.Only I had the right to punish her. Now it made sense why I never liked him since the first day he introduced himself as the new Morphology teacher. I had to be sure he didn’t miss his way to some modelling show because he sure wasn’t dressed like a teacher. Dude looked like he was off to a show, but unfortunately, he was right. He was the new teacher.Whenever I see him, all I want to do is punch that smug smirk on his lips when stupid bimbos shamelessly swoon over him. I wonder why the board would allow such a young, inexperienced teacher into our prestigious school. How could they trust that he was even teaching us the right thing? With how young he was, did he even finish grad school?What made me always want to gag was how he thought he was so awesome. That haughty l

Chapter 29:
Nyx POV“Ugh, this is infuriating!” Narin screamed in frustration. “It’s been just a day since I last used my powers and it feels like forever.”“I’m sorry, Narin.” Came my reply as I watched her pace about in the room from where I was seated on my vanity dresser. “Don’t be.” She huffed, plopping on her bed.“It’s not like it’s your fault or anything.”“But it sort of is…” I sighed, running a brush through my platinum curls as I reluctantly prepared for my class with Narek.“Well, since you’re so generous to take the blame, then yeah. It is your fault.” She narrowed her eyes on me. “Now what are you going to do about it?”“Um…” I stuttered, feeling the air growing more uncomfortable. “I dunno…was just trying to sympathize I guess.”Narin scoffed. “Like you don’t have your own problems to worry about.”“Ugh, you’re right.” I shuddered, allowing the memories of the day before to flood my mind. All thanks to Aunt Garcia, I have to go to Narek everyday for my training even though every c
