Chapter 41
Chapter 41
-ADAM
I was hoping to see Amiera in ss today, but when there is no sight of her, I know that things at home
must be bad. Her parents would have seen the video by now; it was toote for me to get the video
down; it wouldn’t make any sense. I haven’t gotten any sleep since my family showed the video to me.
(This novel will be daily updtaed at .noveljar)I kept reying it, especially the part where she
told me she loved me.
I still don’t know why Amiera fell in love with me; I did nothing for her, absolutely nothing. Yet, she gave
me the most vulnerable side of her without asking anything at all in return from

Trub a hand down my face and exit the ssroom, unable to hide my frustration. I couldn’t stop worrying
about her to the point that I wanted to storm her home and see for myself if she was okay. I looked
around for Abigail to get some answers, but even she was not in sight.
I’m about to walk into the cafeteria when someone punches me hard across the face. The
force pushes me back against the wall, and I’m surprised to see that the culprit happens to be none other
than Amiera’s brother. When I think about it, I shouldn’t be that surprised. I knew that her family would be
out to get me when they found out about the rtionship I had with
her.
I wipe the blood from my lips and quirk a brow at him.
“Is there something that you would like to say to me?” I ask him.
His jaw clenches, and he raises his hand towards me, “you hurt my sister, asshole. It’s time that you pay
for taking advantage of her. You’re a sick freak, and you deserve to suffer!”
He sends two giant balls of fire my way, and I use ck holes to suck them up before they

can reach me.
I tighten my fists at my sides, ready to attack him, when a figure running towards us catches my
attention.
Amiera.
I needed to remind myself that this was her brother; if I hurt him, she would never forgive me. While that
may be precisely what I need to finally give up on having her by my side and distracting me from my
goals, I can’t find the strength to follow through with it.
I clench my jaw and refocus on bracing against each of his attacks. I couldn’t hurt him for her sake.
When I left home in haste, I was not expecting Adam to stand by while my brother continuously threw
punches and fire his way.(This novel will be daily updtaed at .noveljar) I thought this would be a
dangerous fight between two people that I loved, but this was thest thing I expected to see.
I watch in horror as Noah hits Adam with another ball of fire, and he stands there and lets
him, almost as if he’s punishing himself for something.
If Adam is supposedly this heartless monster that cares about no one but himself, why would he stand
there and let my brother hurt him? It doesn’t make any sense to me. This is exactly what he did in the
last tournament; he stood there and let me injure him. Why did he keep doing that? Evenst night, when
I was intoxicated, he was the one to stop the fire from harming everyone; he was the one to protect me
from myself.
Why did his actions contradict his words? Why did he seem like he cared? Was I stupid for believing that
there still was a good side buried deep inside of him? Was I foolish for hoping that his good side would
ovee his dark side?
I can’t help myself when I run through the crowd and jump into the fight. “What are you doing?” Noah
demands when I move to stand in front of Adam. “Please, do not hurt him,” I beg. “Can’t you see that he
isn’t fighting back?”
“Amiera,” he growls. “Move before you get hurt. He needs to pay for what he did to you. He took
advantage of your kindness, used you; those were your exact words. He can’t get away with any of that.
Not while I’m standing here.”
“Amiera!” My father shouts from the crowd. “This is not the ce for a woman like you, do not get
yourself involved in a fight. This is your brother’s choice; move aside.”
Of course, he would side with Noah on this matter. I didn’t need them to defend my honor; 1 could do it
on my own. If Adam was fighting back, I might have let it happen, but he wasn’t, and this just wasn’t fair.
We didn’t take advantage of people; if we did, we were stooping to their
level!
When I thought that things couldn’t possibly get any worse, Adam’s siblings, Ashton and Amber, also
joined the fight, facing my brother.
“No one told us that there was going to be a fight today,” Ashton says with a grin. “If that’s what you want,
a fight is exactly what you would get.”
Noah narrows his eyes at Ashton, but something weird happens when he looks at Amber. Was there
something going on between the two of them?
prompt me to look towards the person that just spoke.
Adam stiffens behind me, and that’s when I spot him.
The white fox. He was a shapeshifter, not just any kind, the one and only white fox after his family and
others of his kind were wiped out centuries back. He was the leader of the elders, the ones responsible
for making all of the rules of ournd. I knew that they were supposed to
hold a meeting, but I never thought that they would actually visit our school today. There was
only one thing can kill a white fox; a red sword used to ughter his people in the past. No one
knows where that sword is today; many believe that he had it hidden from all eyes since rumor
has it that it can’t be destroyed. A white fox never ages after neen, so he still looks like any
one of us, except for his red eyes and long silver-white hair. He is good-looking but, at the same time,
terrifying. If you stare into his eyes, you can see the wisdom and years of

experienceying there; one can tell that he’s lived centuries just by looking at him.
“It came to our attention that you two were in a rtionship.” He speaks to Adam and me in an
emotionless tone.
Neither of us says anything to that because it was the truth.
“While there are no rules that state a dark whisperer and a fire whisperer cannot date, think that it’s
essential that we change that rule today. To keep the peace between all families, from today onwards, no
dark whisperer can have a romantic rtionship with a fire whisperer. If this rule is broken, both of the
parties involved will be given death as their punishment.”
Death? They couldn’t be serious!
“How can you do that?” I demand. “We have already agreed that separating is best for all of us, but you
can’t punish everyone for our mistakes!”
He walks closer to me, and I can sense the anger and possessiveness radiating off Adam with each step
he takes towards me.
“I make the rules. I do whatever I think is suitable for the people of mynd. (This novel will be daily

You two are never to see each other again and to ensure that happens; you will both be expelled from
school. We will assign professors to teach you from home, and this is a decision that has already been
put into paper and signed by all elders. There is no going back from this.”
He nods his head at my parents, and they bow before him.
“And as for you,” he says, looking directly into my eyes. “You need to learn to control your power. What
happened at that party is uneptable; many students could have been hurt. decision for everyone.”
I couldn’t believe this. This couldn’t be happening!
