Bittersweet

The day ended faster than any of us anticipated, all the games and events eventually culminated at the end of the day.

I looked at my friends having the time of their life at the after-party at the dorms. Leon stood next to me enjoying his beer while chatting with his friends. his hand clasped with mine, every once in a while he would lean on me or snuggle to my side wrapping his arm around my arm holding me close. he got clingy after my sudden accident and an impulsive kiss.

His twin gave me shit obviously and punched me in my guts, then warned me off not to break her brother's heart or she would hunt me down and kill me most grotesquely.

I wish I could turn back time.

Somehow I rid myself of him and run to the nearest empty bathroom, I look into the mirror and see a loser, I glare at him and growl in annoyance. I used to be a star player, a Playboy. girls used to fight to amount themselves because of me and now I keep acting like a pathetic broken girl.

I shake my head and splash some water on my face, cooling it down.

"That's not gonna do it, we are going to have to kill him," I get startled away by the new voice in the empty bathroom.

I stood up straight and take a defensive stance but the Alpha in me calmed down after recognizing the intruder, and there he was sitting on the washbasin smiling brightly not at all concerned at how he surprised me

I rolled my eyes at him "How did you find me?" I asked washing my hands

He shrugged his long white-blonde hair fell on his shoulder and reached his behind. "Sorin told me,"

I snorted at the name "Such a wimp, " I commented but the sudden splash of water on my face alerted me that I was in the presence of one of the most powerful witches of all time and not just that but also a serial killer.

"He didn't even glance at me when he was here and now he sent you," I mumbled. I was kind of hoping Sorin would have talked to me considering we were good enough friends for a year but guess not.

"Well, he doesn't know I'm here, " he said looking around the small bathroom judging it at every corner.

I shake my head not surprised "How have you been?" I asked smiling at him, I know that we weren't close friends with the psychopath but he is somewhere between a friend and a stranger.

he shrugged "Same old, same old, but The new King let me out, he dismissed my charges and let me move in with Sorin at the castle," he said facing me while grinning.

I chuckled at his silly smile "Good for you, but that doesn't mean you can go killing people around," he rolled his eyes waving it off.

he moved around the small bathroom and looked back at me "So, about the little human cuddler you got there," he teased wiggling his eyebrows.

it was my time to roll my eyes "I was kind of starting to regret it, well, in my defense, it did seem like a nice idea at that time," I scratched the back of my head

he laughed at me while patting my back, we were engaged in a normal conversation when there was a loud knocking on the door, and Craig and I shared a look of curiosity. I moved to open the door.

Lisa came barging in looking desperately for something, she looked around the room, and Craig was gone as well so it was just me, she turned to face me and grabbed my collar.

"Where is he? you were supposed to look after him," she screamed in my face, my confusion deepens, and I held her hands and pulled them off of me.

"What are you talking about?" I inquired about the situation.

she shook her head, the terrified look on her face was an alien experience for me, I didn't know she was capable of such emotion.

"Lion, he is not here, he was supposed to wait for me. we decided to go home together, but he is not there. his friends told me he went to look for you, but he isn't here, what am I going to do?" she grabbed her hair and pulled at it. the anxiety was taking over her.

I stood there stunned not knowing what to do, I snapped out of it and held her shoulders "Don't worry we will find him, he is a big guy I'm sure he is here somewhere," I tried to cheer her up but failed.

"He has an asthma problem. he can't take off anywhere in the dark, he can't even walk for much longer," she kept mumbling, I dragged her to the living room and sat her on a couch. I asked some of her friends to look after her and others to help me look for her twin.

Joshua was next to me in seconds, we split up and looked everywhere for him, I had to use my Alpha senses to sense him out.

I got something, it was faint but there was the essence of him somewhere, I followed the scent to the stairs of the dorm building and kept walking up until his scent was stronger on the rooftop terrace, I rolled my eyes at him, can't believe he was hiding here when his sister was going nuts looking for him.

I grabbed the door handle and pulled it open, "Leon, seriously stop being so childish -" the words stuck in my throat when I see what was in front of me.

Leon's hands and feet were bound by the ropes and he was lying on the edge of the railing, he wasn't awake but it did seem like he was purposely knocked out.

I rushed toward him but stopped when I hear something "I wouldn't do that if I were you," he walked in front of me blocking my way to Leon.

I glared at him venomously "You did this?" I ask in disbelief, I rolled my eyes at him and moved to walk around him but couldn't. my feet stuck on the ground stopping me from taking a step. "what the hell did you do to me, stop it" I screamed at him, he crossed his arms around him and looked at me amused.

"It's something I picked up on the way, my powers grow every day and now I can control elements," Alejandro bragged standing very close to me.

I looked at my feet and saw them perfectly alright, but I couldn't move them.

"I don't care, so let me and my friend go, we have important things to do," I snapped at him.

His posture turned rigid "Fucking, you mean," he said and glanced back at the unconscious Leon, I don't know what he did but Leon's body starts to turn on its own and he was about to fall off from the tenth floor.

"Stop it, stop, stop," I shout gaining his attention "Look I don't know why you are doing this but please let him go, he is just a human with an asthma problem, I'm sure we can talk about it," I try to convince him.

He seems to think over it "Fine, I'll let him go but on one condition," he announced, the air around him dropped a couple of degrees.

"What do you want?" I asked not trusting him.

"Kiss me," the order caught me dumbfounded

"What?" I asked in skepticism, my eyes widened in surprise

"Kiss me, just the way you kissed him yesterday, if not, preferably with more passion," he continued to surprise me.

"Why are you doing this? The things between us ended when you decide to reject me for someone else, stop playing games with me, I can finally let you go now, just let me be at peace, it's time we both look for people we like," I poured my heart out at him but he looked more flustered.

he grabbed my jacket and slammed my body onto the wall, he growled at me "I will decide whether or not I will let you go, rejection or not you belong to me, you're my toy, I will decide when I'm done with you," he growled at my face

this guy is giving me whiplash, his mood swings are going to be the death of me.

I opened my mouth to scream back at him but he shut me up by slamming his lips on mine. he wasn't just kissing me no, he was devouring me.

his hand moved from my jacket to my throat and he squeezed it passionately, his other hand made its way inside my shirt touching my sensitive skin.

I moaned in pleasure when his tongue digs into my mouth finding a home, his hand kept cherishing my skin, rubbing and pinching any lump he could grab on. he slowly moves his hand from my waist to my chest and played with my right bud, I whimpered in delight loving the familiar sensation, but everything stopped the moment his hand made contact with the crude skin of my scar.

He pulled his mouth away from mine and looked directly into my eyes, he moved back a little and pulled my shirt to see the scar, I watched him the whole time trying to understand why he was doing this. the expression on his face changed when he saw the deep claw scar on my chest with confusion and anger.

He growled furiously "who did this to you, tell me," he punched the wall next to my face.

"You," I replied, his face snapped at me, I couldn't read the emotions behind his expression but I knew for sure that he didn't remember this. "It's you, you did it,"

He staggered back stumbling in his steps. I didn't tell him anything else but watched him as he was devastated. he looked like he was trying hard to remember it but couldn't and that pissed him off. he looked at me one more time and snapped his fingers at Leon before jumping off the roof.

I ran towards the end of the roof scared, but he wasn't anywhere when I looked down there was nothing.

I picked up Leon in my arms and hurried towards the dorm room where everyone was looking for him, all while thinking about his weird behavior with Alejandro. and also about the kiss, it was mindblowing but what made me wonder was the sparks.

There weren't any.
