Chapter 64: Chapter 64

- Maive's POV -

Tobias did fetch me and I was actually surprised that he brought a car with him. I wonder where he got this car, probably from one of his friends.

"What's wrong?" I asked when I noticed him keep on glancing at me while he's driving.

He shook his head, "It's just that... you look very different today."

"Is it a good thing?" I asked, smiling at him.

He chuckled, "Yeah, you're surprisingly gorgeous."

Oh, Tobias. Behind this gorgeous appearance is an uncomfortable woman. I really hate this kind of clothes, it makes me uncomfortable.

"I think, it is better to have your hair down," He suddenly said when we were getting nearer at the university.

I nodded, "I thought so too." However, just as much as I want to let it fall down, I am afraid that it will get a lot more messy and I am not capable of fixing it.

The moment we arrived at the university, specifically in the stadium where the gala is held, Tobias opened the car door for me. A butler then arrived to take the keys from Tobias and drive it probably to the parking lot.

The first thing I saw when I got out of the car was the elegant entrance which made me at awe. There were decorations of flowers, the ones that I frequently see on television. The theme of the decoration was blue and silver. It makes me remember the coldness of Daxton. Now, I am wondering if he is already here.

I knew he would look good whatever he wears and thinking of him wearing a suit... I suddenly felt hot that I shove the thoughts away.

The sound from the speakers playing some classical music also reached my ears. For that moment, I knew that this was going to be a long night. Oh how I wish that this would end really soon, the heels that my grandmother bought are probably four inches or more and it is killing me.

"Shall we?" My attention was caught when Tobias asked like a very professional man as he offered his arm to me.

I chuckled but sled my hand on his arm and we headed to the entrance. It was more like we were partners attending some special event. There was a red carpet in the middle of the hall in which we walked.

Oh damn, this place is very elegant. I wonder how much they used for all the expenses to be this successfully beautiful. Daxton is damn rich just by this since he is the owner of the University.

When I looked around, the entire place was almost full. Everyone is looking elegant, I could say that they definitely prepared for this night. They looked different and if I am not aware that this is for college students, I wouldn't think that they are. They look matured and all. I am a little glad that my dress could somehow match the place. Despite that, I am still feeling suffocated.

I just don't belong here.

All of a sudden, I felt so hot... as if there is an intense stare coming from one of the people in here that it's burning me.

I shook the thoughts away, I must have become paranoid. Instead, I diverted my thoughts around.

I looked in front, there was a podium where emcees were standing. Matching the theme of the decor, the woman holding the microphone is also wearing a dress full of silver beads. To her left corner, there is a guy wearing a tuxedo with a blue neck tie.

I roamed my eyes more, trying to find where I should be. To my luck, I saw Gabriella in her black dress.

"There," I said to Tobias as I pointed my finger at the left side of the place.

While we were walking towards them, I could really feel that someone was staring intensely at me, it's too sharp to not feel it... but I did not dwell much as all I could think of was to be in the place where my friends were.

"Just how lucky you are that you have a boyfriend to walk with you," Gabriella commented as soon as we got there.

She, then, smiled at Tobias.

Tobias has a little more encounter with them these past few days and they somehow used Tobias being around. I wonder when and how but, I'm good as long as my friends are close to each other.

"I'd be lucky if I am not here," I responded as I rolled my eyes.

Anne only smiled at the both of us. She is wearing an emerald green dress. Her collarbone was also exposed while her arms down to her wrist were covered with a cloth with emerald green beads. She is still wearing her eyeglasses but it suits her. She looks cute and gorgeous.

The tables scattered on the place were actually tall, the one that I usually see in movies where there is wine and champagne and the guests are drinking. That was actually the case. There is wine, champagne, or some drinks going around being carried by some guys who are probably not students here. I wonder if they are also werewolves.

I was looking around when my eyes darted where Daxton was. I gasped when I caught his eyes directly looking at me. It made my heart explode with different emotions that I couldn't take my eyes off of his raging eyes, so dark that it truly defines his personality.

He is with some other guys who I am not familiar with. He was holding a glass of champagne and someone was talking with him but his eyes were too focused on me while leaning on the bar counter, his other hand was in his pocket and shit, he looked so cool and deadly handsome especially with his simple black suit with a white shirt inside... organized hair and red swollen lips.

Suddenly, I realized that he was specifically looking at my hand wrapped around Tobias arm. His eyes were cold but at the same time sharp. His jaw was clenched.

When he shifted his eyes at me, he stared directly at my eyes as if he wanted to convey a word. There was a great rage within those eyes like an arrow that was about to attack me which made me remove my hand from Tobias arm. I do not know why but I felt a little guilty over something... It was as if he caught me cheating on him but in the first place we are not even in a relationship.

Damn, just the power he holds over me.

His eyes were still intense, looking so angry for some reason that I am not aware of. Goodness, when he looked at me like that, it felt like I had to explain everything. It felt like I needed to make him calm... or he will ruin this event, as if I have to give him assurance over something. Why am I even feeling this way?

I grabbed the glass of champagne near me and immediately drank it. I needed it to keep my throat from drying.

However, that only ignited the fire in Daxton's eyes.
