Royal love - she become my addiction.

Episode - 8

Darrick's POV - 

I waited all the night impatiently just for the clock to strike eight in the morning. never in my life ever I waited so impatiently. I really don't know what's the matter with me but only her face is in my mind. the way she get nervous and the look on her face when she caught lying straight on the principal's face, the way she smiles and it reach to her ocean blue eyes. everything about her just left me in daze. 

I am the predator here and she's my prey but it seems like I myself get caught in my snare that I spread out for her. 

but guess what? monsters don't fall in love. I don't have a soul and love is a holy thing which is not made for a soulless monster like me. 

I closed my eyes in frustration and continue staring at moon after opening them. 

In the morning - 

I took a shower relaxing my muscles, washing my face. it's been a while since I last showered. well, it's not because I don't like it. it's just because it's not needed at that time. 

but today is different. I showered myself trying to remove every smell of the blood I drank last night. after a long shower, I started choosing my shirt and damn it took 45 minutes to make a decision that which shirt I want to wear today. I wore a navy blue shirt paired up with a black faded jeans and blue colored shoes. 

I hope I am looking perfect. 

I want a mirror in my room - I thought. 

what will you do with the mirror when you can't see your reflection in it. mirror is a humans' ting. isn't it? - my subconscious commented. 

right. it's a human thing. - I sighed in frustration and went downstairs to leave for the school. 

I entered the school and started looking for her. 

she must be in classroom. - I said to myself. 

right, I ran towards classroom. Mr. Patrick isn't here. students are still entering in the class. I sat on my seat and waited patiently for her arrival. my eyes were glued to the door but even after 20 mins., she didn't show up. class is already filled up. I looked at her empty seat beside me and sighed. 

she must be late today! - I thought to myself. 

Mr. Patrick entered the class and started teaching but my eyes were glued to the door throughout the entire lecture. she didn't come. she just didn't and I don't know why but I felt a little disappointed at her not showing up at all. 

she must be late, that's why she didn't come to the first class. I tried my best to make myself understand that she is here and I will meet her soon but with whom I was kidding. 

you can lie to the world but not to yourself because in your heart, you always know that it's just a lie. 

well, I checked the full campus after Mr. Patrick's lecture was over, but she was nowhere. I didn't even find her smell in the air no matter how much I sniff the air.

In the cafeteria - 

when I entered inside the cafeteria, I started searching for her.

god! she's such a big foodie. remembering the way she stuffed her mouth with all the food make me smile. 

I looked at her table. all her friends were there but her seat was empty. they were sitting there like they came to attend someone's funeral. I tried to zone into one of her guy friend's mind. 

I saw a white wolf covered in the blood and then, the scene changed. Liliana was lying on the hospital bed and then, I saw a men shouting like a mad and running all around the hospital. 

I came out of his mind and then, tried to read another guy's thoughts. 

I saw Liliana lying on the floor  with her body covered in the blood. beside her, is a grey colored wolf. then, I saw a guy picking her up in his arms and running towards somewhere. 

I came out of his mind. she's not well. she's definitely not well. that's why she didn't attend the school. 

god! damn it. I ran outside the cafeteria. I shouldn't have left her alone at that evening. 

only God knows what happened to her. 

I heaved a long sigh. I don't know why I am thinking so much about her. when I myself want to kill her and suck her blood. so, why it is affecting m if she gets hurt? 

but guess what I really don't have any answer. I just hope she's fine. I am really worried for her. I feel bad when I saw her injured and that image just keep flashing in my mind again and again. 

right now, I am sitting in my English lecture but I couldn't understand even a little bit thing this female teacher is saying. 

my mind just wandered to her. god! what's happening with me?

just to distract my mind, I thought to read someone else's thoughts. isn't it a good idea? 

I roamed my eyes everywhere and found a boy who is looking at the teacher without blinking his eyes. 

oh my! so much concentration, huh?

so, I thought to sneak into his mind. Let's see what this boy is thinking. 

oh my god! she's looking so smoking hot and her long legs.... my god!

I quickly came out of his mind. what was that? f*****g p*****t! Horny bastard!

after that, I didn't try to intrude into any other person's mind. 

after the school, I helped librarian to arrange the books in a proper order. I couldn't help but smiled remembering my encounter with lily in library. that's the last time I saw her.

again thinking about her? what's gotten into me? stop it please. - I tried my best to stop myself thinking about her.

she'll be there in the school tomorrow. - I tried to make my heart understand to not to worry so much about her.

but I was wrong. the next day, I waited for her but she didn't come and the same thing repeated another two days and now, I am feeling more restless to see her once, just to take a glance of her smiling face. no matter how much I tried to not to think about her but she was always in my mind. 

I thought to go to her house and checked her once if she's okay but again that part of forest is prohibited for the vampires and I don't want a war for no reason. 

God! what should I do now? 

don't you dare to even think about going there. - A voice echoed in the room. 

but I ..... - I started but he cut me off in the middle.

No. don't forget, we're here for a reason. I don't want any fight with those useless dogs. - he said raising his voice a bit. 

I just nodded my head in approval. 

say it. I want words. - he demanded. 

yes, dad. I won't go there. - I said completely submitting to him.

hmm. good. - he whispered but I heard it. 

can you see her? Is she okay? - I asked looking at him in his eyes. 

relax, she's fine. don't worry. she'll come tomorrow. - he said patting my shoulder and left from there.

as a huge smile appeared on my lips. I will see her tomorrow. that's amazing. 

Lily's POV -

it's been four days since I am just resting in this good for nothing bed. ugh.... what to do? dad don't want me to go out. he just want me to rest. 

I want to go to school. - I whispered looking at the ceiling. 

never saw you this much excited to go to school. - Ash said in my mind. I can feel her smirking. 

it's not because of that bloodsucker. - I said immediately.

when did I said that? I didn't even mentioned him.  - she said innocently. 

hmmm. I think I should reject him as our mate. - I said thinking deeply. 

what? it's not funny, Lily. he's our mate for god's sake. he's destined to be ours. - she said on the verge of tears.

but Ash, I don't want you to get hurt. please, try to understand. - I said. I just can't do this to her. she's very important for me. I can't afford to lose her. 

I can understand, my lily- bily but he's our mate and I will be in pain if you reject him. -she said in her painful voice. 

hmmm but he doesn't feel anything towards us and he's also thirsty for our blood. he may kill us. - I said sharing everything to her.

well, you can't hide anything with a person who lives inside your mind. can you? 

I understand but still I don't want you to regret it later. may be if we will give him another chance. then, he may fall for us. - she said with hope in her voice. 

okay but don't get too much attached with him. I don't want you to be heartbroken at last. - I said with a little bit worry in my voice. 

okay. - she replied in a whisper. 

I am going to ignore him, completely. that's it. you will see my arrogant side from now on, you bloodsucker. I will show you that you doesn't matters to me at all. - with that thought, I closed my eyes letting the darkness consume me. 

Next day - 

I woke up in a hurry. damn, I am again late for the school. what to do? 

I went downstairs to have my breakfast and then, left for the school with Karl, Mark, Sarah and Ava. I mentally prepared myself and give a pep - talk on how to ignore him. it's gonna be a difficult task, I think. 

I heaved a long sigh and entered in the school. I completely blocked out Ash so that it won't make difficult for us. I reached to my class but I can hear Mr. Patrick's voice which was coming from inside the classroom telling me that I am late again.

god! I am sure he's again going to make fun of me. 

I gathered some courage and finally knocked on the door. 

May I come in, sir? - I asked knocking at the door again with a little awkward smile. 

he looked at me with wide eyes and then, he opened his mouth -

oh Miss Smith, I thought you left the school forever. - he said looking at me with a taunting smile. 

ahh... how much I hate him. 

seems like you missed me a lot, Mr. Patrick. - I said with the same attitude. 

his body stiffened as he looked away from me.

why are you late? when will you understand the value of time? - he asked raising his voice a bit. 

when you will left the school. - I mumbled under my breath. 

Excuse me. - he asked raising his brow.

you are excused, professor. - saying so, I entered in the classroom and saw that Mr. Patrick's jaw is touching to the floor.

good. that's what I wanted. 

I looked at my table to see Darrick sitting there already. I inhaled sharply and his fragrance entered in my nostrils waking up the beast inside me. 

I am already losing my control, how I am gonna ignore him for the rest of the day. 

I sighed in frustration and went to sit at my place. 

god! it's much more difficult than I thought it would be. 

Mr. Patrick already started the lecture and I forced my eyes to look on the board not at his handsome face but he's a distraction for a person like me. 

Hi. - he said in his deep husky voice. 

my god! his voice is so sexy. - Ash started jumping in my head. I quickly pushed her back in my mind. 

why she behave like this, every time whenever he's around us? 

when I didn't answer him, he asked again - 

Are you alright? - but I still didn't answer him pretending like I didn't even heard what he asked. 

I glued my eyes only to the board and Mr. Patrick although my full focus was on him. 

are you trying to ignore me? - he asked again tapping his foot on the floor making some weird sounds. 

I still didn't answer him and looked directly to the board although my eyes wants to see him once. 

god! why it happened to me?
