Prologue
Suddenly, the room fell silent,even though the room was already quiet as it was an examination hall, but this kind of silence was cold and full of fear!.
She ignored everything and concentrated on the exam she was taking. Her hand frantically moved to write an essay on governance its uses.
She had to clear this exam with excellent grades, and she understood this very well. Humans had to score 75% average in all subjects, or else they wouldn't be given a professional degree.
In contrast, the mythical creatures had to score only a 50% average in all subjects to get the same degree. Unfair! But no one could do anything. The Alpha of the region as well as the King of the mythical creatures would literally kill any human who as much as raises a voice against the monsters.
She was busy writing everything she knew as fast as she could. Suddenly, she felt a mellow growl. This growl was much like an ..approval.
Living with the mythical creatures, especially werewolves for almost ten years had given her enough knowledge about werewolves and their habits. She knew what each growl meant.
Another growl was heard which sounded like it sought attention. She was ignorant to the growl again.
To her, the exam was much more important than some dumb mate ritual. She knew that the werewolf was asking for attention as he had sensed his soul mate nearby.
She was very aware of the fact that the only weakness of these monsters was their soul mates. And once they find their soul mates, they feel whole.
She couldn't help but scoff at the thought. She had witnessed these monsters finding their mates. The only thing which she could describe it was .....
It is insane! She thought.
These monsters would grab their soul mate and kiss the hell out of them at the first sight. Werewolves would bite onto their soul mate's left side of the neck.
Vampires sink their sharp canines on their soul mate's neck and then suck their blood.
Eww! She thought again.
She hated this soul mate idea so much that every night before she lay on her bed, she prays not to be anyone's soul mate. Her best friend Lydia has already become the soul mate of a monster. She didn't want such a fate.
She could hear the sound of shoes clicking in the room as if somebody was approaching in her direction. But, she still didn't look up, as students were not allowed to look anywhere other than their sheet of paper or else the exam would be cancelled.
Must be the invigilator! She reasoned.
She was about to think about the other creatures when she heard a psst sound. She knew who it was immediately.
Lydia's seating arrangement during the university examination was directly behind her.
Maybe, she wants to know the answer to some questions She thought.
She slowly tilted her head to look behind her through the periphery of her eyes. But her eyes fell on a body instead. She stared at the stomach of the person.
Out of instinct, her eyes began to travel up. She could say it was a man- a very built-up man. His broad chest was enough to justify her point. But she didn't want to waste her time looking at someone.
She had an exam to complete. But the curiosity to look up at this man was high.
Before her eyes could reach his shoulder, her best friend screamed.
"Ariana, No!!!" Lydia screamed.
Her scream echoed throughout the already silent room. For other werewolves, her voice hurt like hell, even some of them growled in annoyance. But for Lydia, it was a lifesaving scream. She understood what her friend was telling her indirectly.
Her soulmate was standing right in front of her!.
