I skipped King's class in the morning. I found myself lying down in the clinic with my headphones on. Andrea texted me that they will drop by at the clinic to fetch me for lunch. They thought I was really sick because I didnt't talk to them all morning. They have no idea what happened to me before heading to school.
How can I marry someone who warns my parents in front of me? He should at least respect him if he has a little decency.
After two knocks, the door opened. I looked at the person who came in, and I almost quivered when he shut the door. It's still ten minutes before his class is over. I sat in bed and stared at the floor.
"I want to see myself that you're not feeling well." He walked closer and put a bottled water on the table. I didn't even look at that.
"Now that you see what you want, you may leave."
"I'm sorry if I scared you earlier." His voice was soft. My forehead furrowed when I raised my head to look at him. Is he just pretending to be nice?
"You should be sorry to my parents." That infamous grin showed again.
"I can only bend for you, Hermosa. Let's talk about if for once and all. You have to follow my words if you don't want to see me go ballistic and hurt the people you love. And in return..." He stopped as if he was unsettled with what he was about to say. My right brow raised.
"I will try to listen to you. I am uncomfortable listening to others, but I will consider you special from now on. We can keep our relationship secret if that will put you at ease." What's gotten to him that he's acting good now?
"Are you negotiating with me now?" I pouted. Because no matter what he says, I feel like I will lose to him all the time.
"I thought about it, and I don't want you making excuses just to skip my class." Something tickled my heart.
"I'm not just making excuse..."
"Stop lying to me, will you? Before you open your mouth, I already know if you will tell a lie or not. Let's at least be honest with each other, Hermosa. I know you hate me now, but once you see my sincerity, you will eventually reciprocate how I feel." There's no hint of sarcasm or joke in his voice.
"Promise me two things." Now the arrogant look is back.
"Why do I have a feeling that you're about to start abusing my feeling for you? Go ahead." His amusing smile displayed, and his jaw moved a little. With his charm, he can make other girls say yes effortlessly. Why me?
"First, don't hurt the people around me. Don't hurt them, threaten them or use them against me. Second, you won't tell about us to anyone in this school. My friends can't find out." At first, I thought they were the b***h type, but as time goes by, I proved that they care a lot for me.
"There are some students here who already knew. They are part of Golden Coupe, so we can't do anything about that." I am expecting that.
"Okay. But I am nothing more than your student inside the university, okay?" He nodded and licked his lips. Why did I find that seductive?
"Aren't you going to leave?"
"There's a student with bleeding head outside. I might lose myself and sip all his blood. Let me stay until he's been moved to the room. Anyway, I'm going to hold a meeting later with my pack. There I will introduce you." I stood and fixed my skirt. He cleared his throat again when I caught him looking at my legs.
"Then I'll be the one to leave, Sir King." Because being in the same room will make me fantasize about him. His pale skin and red lips appeared sexy to me. The veins in his hand and the well-defined jaw really got me. I should just be grateful that he can't read minds.
I was about to pass by at him, but he grabbed me in the waist. My jaw dropped and before I can push him away, he already cornered me between him and the door. His perfume lingered, and his face went close to mine. Is he going to kiss me? Damn. I tilted my head to the right to breath and to avoid his gaze. I won't be able to resist if he hypnotize me. But it feels like he doesn't need to do that to blow me away. I am shaking in nervousness.
I felt his lips touched gently my neck. I felt his teeth, so I thought he was going to bite. I was just there standing, and feeling whatever he's trying to inflict. His tongue seductively licked it once before I felt him smile.
"One day I will bite you, Hermosa. I will take every blood in your body." I was catching my breath when our eyes met. I thought he was done, but he claimed my lips slowly. He bite my lower lip and I felt him smiled again when I tasted blood.
"What the hell are you doing?" I murmured when her let me go.
"Kissing my fiance. Your blood tastes so sweet, baby." He walked back and stared at me again from head to toe.
"Don't call me that." I still can't believe what he just did.
"I have a secret to unfold to you, Ms. Vallera. Sorry to tell you this late, but I can read minds. From now on, I will never try to hypnotize you, are we good?" My jaw dropped. He left me dumbfounded.
My friends took me to the Blue Sapphire Restaurant for lunch. They kept asking if I'm alright. I can't stop feeling ashamed of myself. King can read mind, so he knew that I find him extremely attractive!
"That's unfair." I want to tell them what happened, but they won't believe me. They gave me a weird look.
"Are you going insane, Hermy? The semester just started." I must be crazy. Yes.
We were talking about the quiz for this afternoon when a man caught our attention. He opened the door and gestured the woman to come in first. King is smiling from ear to ear when they walk together. Everyone was looking at them.
"Who is she?" Alicia asked.
Andrea and Tania shrugged their shoulder.
"Maybe he's finally going to get a girlfriend." I gave Andrea a horrible look. He was just kissing me a while ago, but he's with another woman now. The nerve of that alpha. Right at that moment, he looked at me and his eyes widened. I didn't know he could smile that wide. I looked at my food.
"That's impossible. He'll get married so.." I dropped my utensils when I heard Alicia. She knows? Her round eyes blinked several times. Is she... a vampire too?
"How will he get married when he doesn't have a girlfriend?" Andrea asked. My eyes stayed at Alicia. Is she a vampire too? She tried to avoid my gaze.
He is the professor in our last class that day. His looks were giving me chills. He promised to hide our relationship to everyone, but he's so transparent. I rushed in putting my things to my bag, so I can leave before he remembers that he will introduce me to his pack.
"I hope you haven't forgotten what we talked about earlier, Ms. Vallera." He casually said while everyone is busy chatting with others.
That afternoon, Ii am forced to go with him. I witnessed the magical meeting place of his pack. At one glance, I can tell that he is welathy enough to buy everything he wants. I suddenly became curious why he decided to be a professor.
"It's a noble career." He turned to me and grabbed me in the waist. The vampires around are watching us, so I trid to push him away though that's against my will.
"Stop reading my mind!" I murmured in his ear.
"That can't be helped. Don't be surprised if you see some students from Stallion that you know. They have been informed, and they will die the moment they tried to start a rumor."
"Stop being gruesome, Sir King!"
"Drop the sir. I won't try to stop, Hermosa. I am born ruthless, I will die feeling free to be ruthless." He's horrible.
I watched the creatures of our alike, and I am really astounded to see those vampires. Alicia and Karlo Conduire were among his descendants. That night, he proudly presented me to everyone. I don't want to get used to the feeling of being comfortable with him, but that's the case now. I like his smell and the way his forehead furrowed.
I secretly pinch his arm everytime he would answer in dreadful way. That day was extremely long. In the morning, I tried to run away from him, but this evening, I am facing his descendants and his dad. I didn't expect to have fun, but I did.
