A Vampire's Heart

CH 3 First Period

Anthony’s POV

“Tony.” I could sense by the way Regina was looking at me that something was wrong. 

“What?” I somehow was annoyed, she broke the connection I had, I was beginning to feel all Lyla’s emotions, it was like being continuously shocked. The sharing of emotions is part of the mate bond. She was so beautiful, she had long straight brown hair that made me want to run my fingers through it. Her skin looked soft to the touch, I was in awe of her. 

“Anthony, that’s the witch.” Regina started with a straight face. “Are you okay?”

“How do you know that?” She didn’t tell me who the witch was and she certainly didn’t tell me her name.

“You didn’t smell the werewolf aura?” She looked at me confused. Truth be told, I didn’t pay attention to that. 

“No, I didn’t.” I looked past her as I saw my mate walk into a classroom. I yearned for her presence around me. I looked back at Regina, and could see concern written all over her face.

“Regina. I found her.” She looked confused by what I just said.

“That’s what I just said —,” 

“No. I found my mate. It’s her, we do this my way.” I said as I walked away from her. The original plan to get the witch to help us, was to force her. Take someone she cares about and use them against her. But how can I do that to my own mate? She was mine, and I would claim her.

I walked inside the same room I saw Lyla walk into, it was the same room number on my paper. I looked right at her, she was concentrating on whatever she was writing.

“Yes? Who are you?” I looked away from Lyla, the lady standing in the front of the room directed at me, she walked towards me with a determined look. There was no way to sweet talk this woman.

“I’m a bit lost, but I think this is the right room.” I said delicately. I returned my gaze to Lyla, as soon as she raised her head from her notebook, our eyes met. I could hear her heartbeat grow faster.

“Okay, hun you can sit right back there next to Ms. Jones.” Ms. Jones. Interesting, I wonder who’s side she got the witch genes from.

As I walked to the seat next to her, I could smell the werewolf aura around her. There wasn’t just one wolf to worry about, but two and they just so happened to hang around closely to my girl. The wolf sitting in front of her, turned around to look at Lyla, all I could see was a blank expression on her face.

The guy turned around and I could hear a snarl come from him. It angered me to know she was talking to another guy. Were they an item.? Was this the wolf Regina said Lyla hunger around? 

“Hi, Ms. Jones.” I said as I sat next to her. She looked at me, I wasn’t sure if she was excited or frightened to see me, her pulse was rapid. I could feel the eyes of the wolves dig into my skull.

As I looked past her, I could see the girl sitting next to her glare at me with hate. She growled at me. Damn mutt. Lyla will be mine, even if I have to kill these mutts to get her.

 Lyla’s POV

His voice was making me hot. Oh my god, he’s sitting next to me. s**t. Say something. 

“Well seems I don’t know your last name.” I managed to mutter out. What the f**k was I saying? How embarrassing. I heard him chuckle under his breath, he looked down and then our eyes met. 

“It’s Cross. Anthony Cross.” He said as he extended his hand towards me. Did he have an accent? Why hadn’t I noticed this earlier?

“Cross? Do you have an accent?” I blurted out. I couldn’t restrain myself for some reason, he just smiled.

“Yes. My family is from Mexico, but I try to keep it silent. My sister hides it all the time, so you won’t hear it from her.” His deep voice was mesmerizing. s**t that accent is sexy on him. 

“Are you taking Spanish?” Part of me hoped he was.

“Ahem. Are you two done?” Emma said as she pinched me on my arm. I turned around to see her send a  mad expression to me. 

I turned around back to Anthony, he had begun writing on his paper. I didn’t want him to catch me staring so I focused myself back on taking my notes. Next thing I know a paper landed on my desk, neatly folded. I opened it quietly to find a message from Anthony.

‘Yes, next period. You?’ I felt butterflies grow in my stomach. I looked at him and nodded in agreement, mouthing ‘me too’.

First day has been great so far.
