Chapter 40
I slept sadly <b>again </bst night. All I could think about was Eros, and how much I had missed him.
I miss him so much that my heart twists painfully at the thought of him. It’s even worse than when he left for his Royal duties.
It’s worse because I see him at school, and I’m not with him. It’s pure torture.
I me him as the reason I woke upte this morning. I refused a lift from Nova because I still want to be alone.
For me, walking and running in my hybrids helps me feel better
Today, I ran all the way to school. All eyes turned to look at me when I entered. I was reallyte.
“Go have your seat, Eden the teacher gestured to me at the door
Woah, no scolding? I ought to be scolded foringte, or perhaps does it have anything to do with being Eros” mate or the Alpha’s Ex–mate?
I smiled lightly and went to take my seat. I brought my books out, and ced them on the table. Then I caught Nova <b>giving </b>
me <b>a </b>wink
I beamed at her. The rest of the ss went smoothly.
During Lunch break, I sat with my friends; Alice and Nova. It was a beautiful bonding moment as they made me feel better<b>…. </b>just that, I could feel Eros eyes burning through my skull.
Could he just look away<b>? </b>It made me so conscious.
“Hi Eden,” I heard a voice, It was Tom; the fangless vampire in Silvermoon pack. My friends turned to exchange surprised nces.
I forced <b>a </b>smile at him “Hi Tom,”
“Uhm, can I sit with you?” he asked sheepishly.:
Could it be because that he had been watching me, <b>and </b>probably felt he <b>had </b>a chance, that was why he came back?
“Sure,” I nodded.
“It’s been a while,” he smiled, cing <b>his </b>food tray on the table. No matter how innocent he seemed with his big framed sses and all, I always could pick an evil waveing from him.
Does everyone feel that too! Or could I be wrong as I was with Adams?
“Yeah…“I bit into my hamburger, feeling uneasy suddenly.
Alice and Nova shifted in their seats ufortably. In fact, the whole <b>cafeteria </b>was staring <b>at </b>us,
My eyes darted automatically to Eros. The whole table of Hybrids were staring, <b>and </b>I’m pretty sure <b>that </b>they <b>weren’t </b>staring at something behind me.
Eros looked furious. That I <b>could </b>tell. Well, maybe it’s time for me to scram. I’m a coward, I know.
I quickly grabbed the rest of my hamburger and Milkshakes, and stood up “Excuse me guys,” I told them “there’s a <b>material </b>I need to study for our forting exams. See ya!”

“A material? Tell <b>us </b>about it. We’ll need it too,” Alice quickly said
“Sure. Certainly I will,” I stuttered, taking to my heels.
Actually I didn’t use the library. I ran all the way home, knowing <b>that </b>anyone coulde find me at the library. I just wanted
To be alone.
I am a mess–infact I was slowly going crazy with Eros filling every crooks and cranny of my mind. All I think is Eros. He is all I see. His blue eyes, lips, muscles, huge bulge….
Aloud knock interrupted my terrain of thoughts. I was the only one at home on my bed, but my hybrid senses could pick the noiseing downstairs.
1 grunted and slowly left my room. I perceived the <b>scent </b>in the air. It was a Hybrid.
I
Whoops! It seems like this hybrid sure knows how to use the front door. Because the others just appears through my window. Oh, how I miss them….. Content is property of N?velDrama.Org.
I opened the front door, and my eye furrowed instinctively. Susie was standing there looking impatient.
“I want to talk to you,” she said with a rude demeanor.
Hmm, okay… she <b>is </b>Eros‘ friend, let’s just hear what she has to <b>say</b>.
I am going to y nice.
I nodded and opened the door wider. She scrunched her nose at the sight of the living room… or maybe it’s just my imagination.
“No, I’d rather talk outside,” she said, <b>and </b>pointed to where her car was packed.
Whoops. I didn’t want to be rude.
I forced <b>a </b>smile and followed her. We <b>stood </b>in front of her car and she cleared her throat.
TH
go straight to the point, Eden,” she looked at me. “<b>Eros </b>is mine,
My eyes widened at her statement. Tiara was wing at my chest to get out. My eyes tinged red but I forced it go <b>back</b>. My hands were balled into fists.
I fought to control myself.
“I know that he is your mate h h,” she snorted, rolling her eyes “and the goddess gave you to each other. But you two haven’t really mated–or marked each other yet. Thus, he can still mate and mark somebody else; <b>and </b>I <b>will </b>make sure it’s me.” She said confidently.
“Do you know that we were once lovers? Like we did the real thing… you know. We were going to be together again when you came into the picture.” she was saying, and I almost <b>lost </b>it.
I stepped a little backwards, trying not to hurt <b>her</b>.
If she noticed, she didn’t say anything- she just continued with her speech I bet she was looking for grounds to hurt me. She was a born Hybrid<b>, </b>and I’m not. Until <b>I </b><b>am </b>trained, and marked. I stand no chance with her.
“Youring into the picture is no problem though, because the first step to winning a battle is knowing the enemy, And since I know it’s you.” sheughed, scrutinizing me like some unworthy opponent “I know <b>Eros </b>and I are going to be together again. <b>He’s </b>going to be my mate, and end up on my be atst. You might as well give up <b>now</b>, Eden…” she drawled, sending me a kis

<b>She </b><b>was </b>about opening her car to leave when my statement halted her movements.
“The reason you’re here is because you’re scared. You know Eros is my goddess ordained mate, and you stand no chance: all. I utered through clenched teeth.
She chuckled dryly “Maybe not my goddess–ordained mate like you, but we are both original Hybrids. A better match for each other. I am stronger than you, and will make a better Queen when he decides to ascend the throne.”
Then she looked at me sympathetically.“Oh Eden, you should know it by now that Eros loves me. And that was why he too me with his friends for the Royal duties and left you here, so that we both can have some good time, you know… away from the stupid mate bond he is having with you….” She said with a strug smile. That hurts.
“Don’t worry, I will make him forget all about you.
I will make him happy ande to think of it, he believes me over you. Every single time. And this is a pointer that he’ll choose me over you.
I win, you loose…” <b>she </b>smirked and entered her car.
Soon, her car <b>was </b>driving away.
A tear trickled down my cheeks as I watched her drive off. I fell on my knees, and began to weep. It felt like my whole world was falling apart.
I felt rejected again.
