Chapter 96: Chapter 96

Maive's POV

After everything, what could be worse?

Days have gone so fast that I didn't even and I was a bit grateful that there were flowers I could busy myself with. I literally spend my days trying to plant those flowers in front of the mansion. I just thought that they would go to waste if I just let them wither. I was thankful that it somehow made my mind stop from thinking about my identity and everything...

Somehow, I was so preoccupied by planting these flowers that I didn't think much of the werewolves and witches.

However, whenever I get to be alone, I start thinking about everything again. If I had to be totally honest, I am afraid of myself. I am afraid of what I am capable of doing. I do not want to harm others. Despite that my grandmother has said that I am a white witch, it still scares me. Especially I know that there is something going on in my body. If I start to focus my mind on my hand, there's a light coming from it. On my palm, there's a white marble-like light that would form. It was much smaller compared to the light that came from it on that day.

Besides this marble-like light, is there something I could also do? What am I capable of?

Because aside from that, I could feel the heat on my body. The mark on the neck is heating up for days and I don't know the reason for that. All of these just scare the hell out of me and I don't know what I should do. Sometimes I put cold compress at my neck to lessen the pain yet it is still burning, but I could still handle it.

Just the heat that seems to be telling me something... something lacking within me. I couldn't help sometimes thinking what might it be, and it is making me insane.

'Daxton'

"What was that?" I suddenly looked around upon hearing that familiar voice.

Suddenly, I realised that it was the voice who kept talking in my head. Gosh, I am not used to it. I'm still confused if it is really my wolf.

"Who are you talking to, Maive?" I turned around to see Grandma walking towards me.

I smiled at her, "No one Grandma, I'm just glad to see the flowers blooming in the garden."

"Oh, I see. By the way, I wanted to talk to you." She said when she got closer.

"What is it?" I asked politely, she seemed bothered and that made me curious.

"I don't want to be strict, Maive. However, it's just two weeks after that kidnapping incident. Must you attend classes now?" She has been convincing me to not attend classes since yesterday. She's so worried about something, but I think it won't happen again.

Astrid University has gone back to normal again. Despite the fear among students, everyone started to enjoy the peaceful environment again. I think the 3Ks played a big role in that. It was yesterday when they announced that everything is under control now. They really had the power over everything.

No wonder they are the Kings of the school. Suddenly, Daxton's face popped in my head causing a burning pain in my neck and a heat in my body. Damn, what is this?

I took a deep breath and released a reassuring smile. "I'll be fine, Grandma. Everything's fine now." I said. I would be going crazy if I stayed even longer at the mansion without getting fresh air. I need a little chaos to keep myself sane despite everything.

In the end, my grandmother agreed. She is doing her best not to be strict, I can see that. They had probably gotten strict over my father and now, she was trying not to do that to me to avoid what happened before.

But I am sure to myself, I wouldn't leave Grandma without her permission.

"Uncle, how was Tobias?" I asked my Uncle when we were in the middle of the road. He was driving me off to the university and I wonder why my heart feels joy and excitement when I know that I am heading to the school.

"Discharged, but I doubt he'll be around the university for some time." He stated while focusing on driving.

I nodded, relieved that he is getting better. I'm glad that after everything that happened, we are still completely alive. Although we received injuries, being alive is a relief.

I looked into the side mirror of the car, looking at the car who had been following us since we got on the road. There's a man on a motorcycle too, doing the same thing. It was weird that I could hear their breathing when they were far from us. My senses got even stronger. I don't know what caused it though. I just observed ever since I was in the mansion trying to busy myself, my five senses had gotten stronger and sensitive.

"Uncle," I called him.

He stared at me for a couple of seconds before turning his eyes back on the road.

"There are four men following us. You notice that too?" I asked as I looked once more in the side mirror. They are still behind us.

That probably shocked him as he stepped on the brake that moment. Good thing I have my seatbelt on or my head would have smashed onto the dashboard.

I looked at my uncle in disbelief. He looked at me in the same manner. "How did you notice that? Even I... I did not feel them."

My eyes widened. They were following us and it was so obvious. Or did my senses get really stronger? What the hell is really happening to me?

I did not respond. My uncle drove again as if it was nothing to worry about.

"Shouldn't we get bothered?" I asked, getting bothered every minute.

He shook his head. "They are fine." He casually said as if he knew them.

"I should kill him," I heard him mumble as he gripped the steering wheel.

Him? Who's him?

Does he know them? It sounds like he does.

I did not bother to pay attention to them since my uncle said it was nothing to worry about. Then, it was nothing. Besides, I could hear their breathing. It was all normal... there's no sign of bloodlust or rage. They are not going to hurt us and I'm sure of that. But how did I get to know that? I don't know, it just happens naturally as if my instinct is running active.

Soon enough, we were already at the entrance of the university. I waved my hand at my pissed uncle before going inside the grounds.

I somehow missed this university. It was probably because this is the only place that I usually spend my time except the mansion of course. I haven't visited Uncle Silas and Aunt Vera since that incident happened but I hope that they're doing good. The students seemed normal as if nothing had happened. Everyone was beaming with a bright smile as they met their buddies.

It seemed to be a normal university day except that I could feel everyone's gaze on me. Some of them were talking about me and my friends. My hearing got pretty strong because I could hear their gossips. Everyone knew that we were the ones who were kidnapped during the attack.

I headed to the building of my first class. However, before I got inside the room, I suddenly felt someone gripping my hand. I didn't get to fight back which is the first thing that I should do as I immediately scented him and I knew exactly who it was.

The scent that always entices me and it gets more alluring to my senses, making me hypnotised.

To my surprise, I am already in some storage room.

It was Daxton. I could smell his scent even when my eyes were closed. I suddenly felt the intense heat again on my body. Damn, it is burning me badly, my heart is pounding too fast and my stomach is filled with unexplainable feelings.

Crap, everything happened too slow but feels too fast. I was so mesmerised by him that my mind couldn't function well.

I bit my lip, trying to stop myself from touching him just to be relieved from the heat that I was feeling. He pinned me on the wall with his arms directed against it, making me cornered in his arms. It does not help a thing as I only felt the heat on my body intensifying but this time, it somehow feels so good than the time I was in the mansion.

I looked at his face... handsome and shimmering in brightness, his icy eyes are turning me on, damn, how could he look so fucking gorgeous. He was looking at me with a clenched jaw. His eyes were crimson and it was full of rage and lust at the same time which made him even more attractive.

My system is getting fuckingly insane. I have to get back to myself or I'll lose my senses.

However, the heat and the pull in my body seems too powerful.

I shifted my gaze to his lips. He, then, licked it. Looking at it makes me damn crazy.

Shit.
