Rose’s POV
Someone drags me on the ground. I can see some flash of light as I am dragged into a room. Three people collect me, and lay me on my bed. Eyes midway shut, I look back, and see that it’s either Ben, Robert, or Max brought me here. If it is Robert, then I am done for because he possibly could have fed me with garlics retrieved my power.
After some hours, I wake up and see three females lying down on beds beside me. The more I think of where I am, the more my eyes open. After my eyes open and understand that I am in my hostel, I stand up. I go to each’s bed. On my left bed is Jessica lying down like a dead body. On my right is Martha cuddling herself with the pillows. And on the other angle is Anna, snoring heavily.
My heart starts to pound. Where is Sophia? If she gets mated to Ben or Max, she will become a great Luna, and I will only be an Omega or useless Beta. Whatever I must do, then I must do it. She must not get mated to Ben or Max. Not even Robert. Instinctively, I know it’s either Ben, Robert, or Max kidnapped her.
“I told you that because you are my Luna.” Ben’s words in the class comes back into my memory. I hit my head to reload my brain but it only tells me clearly.
“Ben!” I scream, and choose him as the suspect. As I scream, Martha wakes up and shudder until she lands on the ground. I can’t help but to laugh. I stand up to check up on her or maybe heal her. Getting there, I see that she has fallen asleep again. I mutter some cuss words, and return to my bed. I try to bring back every memory but only the memory of Ben revealing that Sophia is his Luna comes. I look at the clock. It’s 7 am. I yawn multiple times without covering my mouth with any of my hands. I walk up to my portable box, and I notice that we only have four boxes, and not five.
Sophia’s box is gone again. My temper rises, and I do all I can to calm Debe from thrusting out. She is too angry to listen to me. But I lay on the tiles, ensuring I collect myself. This is not the right time for Debe to thrust out. I stand erect, as eerie as possible, and rush to the door. I force it open, and dash out. When I get near Sophia, I will smell her. And if it is Max, I will smell his cologne. Max does not smell that way. I knew earlier that Sophia will come, so I gave Max the smell. Just to distract her attention from Ben or Robert. Ben is a Vampire, I know! Maybe an hybrid! Or an harmless Vampire. But Robert is a badass vampire. I really warned this girl to stay away from Ben, Max or Robert. If she even wants someone to accompany her out of the three, then it should be Max. Ben will surely be great, and fight my pack, Split woods Pack, Moon Team pack, and some other packs. But if Sophia does not agree, It Will be difficult for them to get their Luna again, and their being an Alpha will be delayed. Meanwhile, while they are being delayed, Sophia should get mated to another Alpha, and we will join hands and become powerful.
Jude!
Jude will return to this school next year and a half. Jude is scarier. I hope he delays in his coming. Instead of Ben or Robert marking Sophia as their mate, I will rather get mated to Sophia.
And if I can’t do that, I will snatch her, and run away with her. I have to plan this well. School must be on hold.
Max approaches, not dressed in his usual dressing.
“Hi Rose. Good morning.” He says, and passes by. He knows I do snub him.
“Good morning, Max.” I reply, and I swear, he feels like he’s in heaven. He turns back, faces me but I don’t give him a san stare. He moves on, and walks faster. I soon catch up with him.
“Know where Sophia is?”
He shudders. “Sophia?” He faces back, and stares at me. This time, I return the stare.
“Yes, Sophia.” I repeat.
“She is not in the hostel?” He asks, kinda fuming.
“She is not.” Immediately I say this, he clutches onto my throat. His eyes turn blue black, and turns normal again. He loosens the grip on my neck, and stare at an opposite direction. I now remember clearly that we went to a beer parlour. But does Max think he can actually give me back my Memory? Goddammit VAMPIRE.
“So, what do we do now?”
“Find her.” He says, and faces back, staring at me. “Or I kill you.”
I chuckle at his last statement. “Dude, you wanna kill me? Don’t you know I’m here because of her?” I say, smiling unbelievably. “I know where she is but I won’t go for her. I want you to kill me?” I move near him, taking his hands to my throat. “Kill me!” I exclaim.
His eyes pool water, and I can see his apology. “I only said that because I love Sophia. I don’t want any other person to mark her as his.” He says, his voice breaking. I touch his eyes, and tears drop down his cheek. Hot tears.
I hug him tightly, and he shivers as though it is cold. I loosen the tight hug, and his face is clear now.
“Can you help me now?” He asks, his eyes pleading.
“Let us go together.” I say, and he moves. I pull him back. “Come on, be a man. Clean those tears, and let’s stroll. And not walk.
“Okay.” He says, and wipes away the tears. I clutch his hands to mine and we start to walk. I can hear a sound from my room’s door. We quickly halt and take another route.
“Give me a smile, boy.” I tell him, and he smiles. I return the smile, and we walk up to Ben’s abode.
