“Oh, hun.” Azura says, hugging me tightly. ” I’m sorry that you feel that way and I do get
it.”
“Yeah, well it’s Dad who needs to get it.” I say icily as I pull away and sigh. “Fuck.” 3
I hate how I feel guilty when I focus my
anger on him, because I know he loves me.
“You’re only eighteen Sky, don’t push yourself. Let life teach you, its lessons. I mean, I learned things
my own way… and it was the hard way. But Leo has never tried to stop me from doing what I needed
to. He treats me as his equal, even though I know a few times he would have preferred I wasn’t around,
but he still let me do what I wanted. With time, I realised I did act recklessly a few times, but ultimately,
he let me learn that myself.” She exins. 1
She tucks her silky hair behind her ear as she continues. “I have faith Alejandro will get that. He just
sees you as his little princess. Try to see it from his point too? Even if it isn’t the right one?” She tries to
reason with
1. 2
“The thing is, I’m not his little princess anymore.” I sigh. “I’m capable, just as Dante was capable at my
age.”
“I know, I get that babe. Want me to make an Alejandro voodoo doll?” She asks,
smirking. “Or a Dante one! We can maybe burn his hair off.” 3
I can’t help butugh. She has always had an issue with his hair.
“Wait, that would actually be so cool. I mean a Dad voodoo doll! One with tattoos and a big ass frown
on his grumpy face. Maybe I can make a video of me torturing it and send it to him.” I chuckle.
“He’lle for my head.” She replies,
amused.
“Probably…” I sigh, my smile fading as that same anger stings inside of me.
He’ll never see me as old enough, or capable enough. I don’t even want to talk about it further because
I know it triggers me.
I just hate how people are quick to fucking question shit I do in my life, but they do not fucking know
me.
Azura gets it, I just wish Dad got it too, I’m not Kat… The thing is, I also know he’s the same with
Mama, there are times he simply refuses to allow her to step up, not wanting her to get hurt.
Why? Because she’s a woman. She would worry about her mate going into battle, but
because he’s a guy, it’s fine. As I said, double standards. 3
“It’s going to be ok.” Azura says.
We fall silent and simply sit there. Azura
rests her head on my shoulder, and I rest my head against hers as I ponder over what we have
discussed.
Life…
But one thing that Azura has said has stuck in my head, about people getting killed. I can be pissed at
Dad, but if this helps in any way, then I’m going to have to do it. Or I might just tell Azura to tell Leo. He
can pass the message on to Dad. I just don’t want to hear
a lecture.
I hold Malevolent tightly, ncing at Azura’s wrist, and read the time on her
watch.
“Oh, it’s almost the end of ss. Come on, I’ll introduce you to Prince Aleric Arden.”
She runs her hand through her hair.
“I’m sorry, actually Leo wants me to head over to Kataleya’s dorm to make sure we get her stuff in the
car. Maybe next time?” She offers.
“Oh, sure.” I say, I don’t think I want to see him right now, anyway. “Then I’ll head to lesson. I missed
this, just talking, the two of
us.”
“Me too.” She says before she hugs me tightly. “Stay strong Sky. You are limitless and strong. I’m
always just a call away.” 1
“I know.”
Azura walks me to ss. We meet Kataleya halfway and I bid her farewell too, knowing I won’t see her
again for a while.
“I’ll miss you.” I say, refusing to cry.
“I’m going to call, all the time ok.” She
promises me tearfully.
Yes, you will, but will I answer?
I’ll try to.
ALERIC.
The lesson had just finished and rather than getting ready for the next one, I’m delighted when Rivers
tells me that there was
someone who wants to see me.
Alpha Leo Rossi of the Sangue Pack himself.
Impressive.
‘Royce, did Leo Rossi want to speak to you?’
I ask as I head to my office.
‘No.’ His replyes. 3
‘Ok, he’s here, but you wouldn’t care now, would you?’
‘Not really, should I?’
I clench my jaw, hating how carefree he is.
If we’re here and among others, we should gain their trust and build our reputation and rtionship with
them. Especially those with power.
But Royce is a fool. 1
Reaching my office, I unlock the door and step inside, instantly hit with a powerful aura and a scent I
don’t recognise.
The shutters are drawn, casting shadows across the room and my eyes snap to my chair to see a man
radiating power sitting
there. He’s muscr, with dark hair and piercing icy eyes. His hands, adorned with a few rings, rest on
the arms of the chair, one leg ced on the other knee. Tattoos cover his neck and hands, and he
exudes a dangerous aura.
For a moment, I feel like I am looking at the king himself. His cold eyes are on me, and I switch the light
on, closing the door behind
1. 2
“Alpha Leo Rossi.” I say, trying to hide the irritation at the fact that he’s sitting in my
seat. 3
“Aleric Arden.” He says coldly. 4
I’m an Alpha too, how dare a Rossi try to
belittle me by addressing me like that. 3
I smile smoothly and walk over to the desk.
“This isn’t how I was expecting to meet you. The door was locked. How did you get in?” I
ask.
“Via the door.” He doesn’t offer an
exnation as he now stands up and walks over to me until he’s standing opposite me. 7
He looks me square in the eye and I realise
he’s here for a reason, not for pleasantries.
“Can I help you with something?” I ask, not wanting to call him Alpha again. It leaves a sour taste in my
mouth.
“I’m not here to ask anything of you. I’m here to give you a warning.” His eyes sh a steel maic
blue. 3
“A warning?” I ask, my smile vanishing. 1
“I came across some intriguing rumours, ones that involve a teacher and a student. A student who
happens to be my cousin.” He
says quietly.
His voice is calm, but there’s a sinister
warning in that silence. One that is extremely powerful, and he now looks me dead in the eyes.
“By using me of something you have no proof of, based on weightless rumours is an insulting and
dangerous game, Leo Rossi. Let’s not forget who I am.” I say quietly. My eyes sh as I let my own
aura pair against
his. 2
He simply smirks coldly, unphased, although I know he can sense it.
“And there it is.” He says softly. 8
“There’s what?”
He doesn’t respond, ncing away.
“As someone said, time isn’t borrowed but given, and I’m done wasting mine with you.” He walks to the
door and stops. “If
she’s hurt, in any way on your ount… you
will have me to answer to and I’m sure you Arden’s know, Leo Rossi bows to no council
or king. Nothing will hold me back from unleashing my wrath.” (26
Without another word, he opens the door and steps out; the door shuts with a sharp snap, leaving me
raging with anger. 1
My eyes ze red and it takes everything I have, not to destroy my surroundings. 1
How dare he…! How fucking dare he!
I look down, my hands simmering with sparks of embers, but the thing is, he was in here… if he doesn’t
trust me, then he could have nted something in here…
I have to keep my cool, just in case…
You might be smart Leo Rossi, but so am I.
As for Sky… I will talk to her, I think it’s time we stopped using electronics tomunicate… 5
I look around the office before taking out my
own phone and clicking on the camera app that I’ve installed here, I rewind it until I see him step into
the room.
He looked around before taking a slow walk around the office, pausing when he stops at the shelf
where the camera is situated, and
then his eyes flicked to the sculpture that
holds the camera. A smirk crosses his lips as
he looks directly into the camera.
He knew. 2
My heart thunders as I still remain in
control, watching him walk around the desk and sit down in the position I had seen him in, rocking the
chair slightly as he awaited
my return. 1
“Bastard!” I hiss, throwing my phone across
the room.
He thinks he can protect her?
I scoff.
I’ll destroy her! I’ll ruin her mentally to such
an extent that she will trust only me and no one else! 21
I’ll turn her away from her family! How dare he fucking try to pick a fight with an Arden! a
Once she’spletely in my grasp, I will
then relish in the pain that I will have caused
them!
May they all fucking burn in hell! 2
Spinning around, I send a ball of fire at my chair, letting the entire thing be
engulfed in mes. 7
My chest is heaving as I re into the fire… 1
