BEAST ACADEMY

Eighth Chapter

Zachary's POV

Wow, damn it, she is good. Never thought a girl would knock me off. I stood up and went to Alexander. I saw Eveline on the floor, whimpering. "Wh..what happened to him?" She asked sobbing.

"He is sick," I said trying to look normal.

"Don't you dare lie to me!" She stood up furiously and angry. She poked me on the chest while saying "You! You will explain to me every single detail about him! Got it?" Damn, her eyes were dark purple and she looked so scary, I couldn't disobey, what? Why her command is so strong? I hadn't any choice, so I decided to tell her everything.

"Alright..." I sat in the armchair near the bed and began telling the truth.

"Alexander Lightwood, huh...his royal highness...I know you're thinking that Alex is a terrible person and he is a man-w***e, but...he wasn't like this all the time, he never slept with a girl, huh, even when I slept with bimbos, he didn't, he saved himself for his mate, and not just a mate, a dragon mate - Mirena... They were in love for almost three years, he loved her like no one could love anyone! And I have never seen him so happy, but Mirena...she loved him...yes...but she didn't tell the truth about herself."

I stopped, taking a deep breath, she was looking at Alexander, sometimes she glanced at me but all of her attention was on Alex. May be Eveline feels the same feelings towards him? If she will know the truth...will she stay?

"What truth?" she asked furrowing her eyebrows.

"She was a dragon witch," I told her taking a deep breath.

"What?" she shouted widening her eyes.

"Yes, witches are one of the powerful creatures. They are immortal. Well, their soul doesn't die, they travel from one body to another until they find the perfect one" I said lowering my head.

"So? How it touches Alexander?" she asked frustrated.

"Mirena was Alex's mate, first they were happy but Mirena wanted all of him...she wanted him to be part of her, so...she connected their soul bond. Alex, of course, didn't know about this s**t, he only found out about this when Mirena was struggling with another person's body, it was rejecting her...person's body and soul died but Mirena...this bitch...she didn't, because of the soul-bond with Alexander she couldn't choose the body in which she can live...her soul would live until Alexander finally wouldn't love someone like Mirena. And then, if Alex will fall in love with somebody...Mirena will settle in that person's body to be with Alex." I said closing my face with my hands.

Eveline was quiet for a while. I don't judge her, I would be shocked as well in her place.

My face was in my hands until I heard her saying, "So, why Alexander is sick?"

"Because this b***h made Alex sick, their bond is too strong, he can't take this anymore! Tablets that he took prevented him from feeling love but he stopped taking them..." I screamed at her, couldn't hold my anger anymore. My voice was raspy and tears began to fulfill my eyes...I can't see my little brother suffering like this! If only I could rip Mirena's heart into small pieces! Oh god...why Alexander should suffer like this!

"I know...you are sad and angry at the same time but with this, you can't help your brother! Tell me...is Alexander fell in love with any girl?" she asked me. How should say to her that Alex is in love with her and Mirena is in her?!

I closed my eyes and breathed out, "You."

I couldn't see her but I felt how she recoiled back. "Wh-What?" she stuttered.

I stood up and looked at her, "You are the one...Alexander loves you" I said calmly.

She stood there, tears slowly running down her cheeks, and then she laughed hysterically, "Y-you ca-can't be sure" she smiled but it wasn't a genuine smile or smile of happiness, it was a smile of sadness.

"Eveline..." I whispered.

"No!" she put her hands in defense in front of me. "I can't be here...No...no, no, no, this s**t is getting on my nerves" she shook her head and run out to the hallway.

I didn't stop her...she needs time to process everything.

Eveline's POV

What the heck is wrong with me?! Why my life is such a mess?! No! I can't take this anymore. First, my parents said I am adopted, then I am a shifter and now there is a b***h witch inside of me! No, I want my normal life back.

I ran down the hallway, the wind takes my tears away. I saw Maeve and Theo chatting, they called me, but I didn't draw attention to them. I didn't stop, I just wanted to run away from this freak Academy. Guess where I am running? Forest...The only place in which I can calm down. I don't know but whenever I am sad or angry, the forest is the place in which I can be myself and can't hide my emotions. So, I ran into it, hiding in deep trees.
