Episode 20

Jason's POV

The lectures were getting me pissed off. I kept waiting for the school bell to ring, yet it seemed like it was never coming. It has been hours since I came to school and I swear I'm already regretting it.

No student could sit close to me as fear won't allow that. Who would ever want to sit beside the son of Javier, known for his ruthless magic? I'm his son, and they won't risk their lives toiling with me. I'm no different from my father. I can kill without restraint or remorse.

I'm being feared by every student. My dad had taught me to be cruel, and I grew up that way. Smiling makes people think less of you. Being wicked makes you stronger and instills fear in your opponent. Never show your weakness; kill easily and you will have victory.

This was what my dad taught me, and that's who I am, a devil!!

I checked the clock hanging on the wall and made a loud hiss. It was still over thirty minutes before the school break. I laid my head on the desk in anger.

"Jason, hi..." I heard someone's voice wake me up from the short sleep that stole me away,

I raised my gaze only to see that same girl who I met on my way to school. She stood in front of me, smiling sheepishly. I wondered why. Does my face look funny?

"Who are you and how can I help you?" I sneered, making a short frown cross her face before it was replaced with another round of smiles.

"Don't tell me you already forgot me. I am the same lady you were looking for in the Royal Pack of the Silver Moon this morning. She chirped, making the other students remaining in the class turn sharply towards us.

Her words must have astounded them, knowing full well that I had no heart for love or thought about marriage, and that I had gone to look for a girl before coming to school.

"Do you know I can strangle you right here and now and your father can do nothing?" I growled, yet she maintained those stupid smiles.

"I saw you in the palace on my birthday, and I swear you're so handsome and enchanting that I couldn't take my eyes off you." She moaned out loud again and sat on my desk.

I clenched my fist in fury, wishing she was a male. I would have pounced on her, but beating a female doesn't sit well with me after I killed one. I don't know why this fucking daughter of Daren wouldn't stay away from me like the others.

Dad isn't yet ready to go into war with her pack, and hitting her would cause it to start immediately. I had to bear her sassy attitude. I wouldn't spare her the day we attacked. She was going to be the first person I'd kill!!!

"I was forced to attend that nonsense birthday party. It was such an eyesore that my dad and I left before it ended. Get lost! " I huffed, and she frowned, followed by a deep grunt of embarrassment.

"It was because of that cursed girl, right?" She tried poisoning the food we would be serving you all. She whined, and I raised my gaze abruptly at her.

"What is her name?" I asked with my heart beating somehow, like I don't even understand the sudden increase in heartbeat.

"Elena," She is rejected by everyone in the family because she is evil, a demon in disguise, but we thank the moon goddess for giving my mother foresight like we were able to find out earlier, and she is being tortured daily. " I listened to her explain and got angry at how she was gloating.

"Where is she now?" I asked, looking around.

She gasped at me and stood up abruptly.

"Jason I saw her sketch drawing in your hand this morning. It fell off and I picked it up. You couldn't even let it rest in my grip before driving back to take it away. Why was that? ..what do you have with that devil! " She snorted, and I got up from my seat in fury. I was getting so angry at how she insulted Elena.

"She is not a devil and please stop talking to me. You got lucky today, but may not in the future. I don't mind using my powers on you if you persist in going against my will! " I hissed and walked away immediately.

Well, I had just wasted my time talking to that girl who seemed to be a desperate slut. Well, the talk with her was a waste of time.

I got to know the name of my soulmate, my love, the lady after my heart. Although I'm not sure she is my mate, my dad said she can't be. My dad said I can't have a mate.

But I think I'll call her my mate for now because she is the only one I got attracted to just at first sight. Her pain was affecting me. I even felt a great urge to save her from those tortures.

Gosh!

I was heading to the inner part of the garden, a place where no one cares to enter. I own that territory, where I spend my time alone meditating while enjoying the cool breeze.

The female student admired me from afar while the males scurried away at the sight of my coming.

"There is nothing that a boy can do?" .. he is using his father's influence to intimidate us. He is nothing but a pup! I heard a voice from a group of boys who stood in a circle. They were three...

I was a bit far but could still hear their chat well. I should have walked away, but I don't know why I got interested in knowing who they were talking about.

"You mean Jason has no power?" Another asked,

"Exactly, that Jason is a puppy who can't do anything; if we fight, I'll feed sand into his mouth," the boaster said again, raising his shoulder.

"They are talking about us?" My wolf howled in rage, which was passed to me.

My eyes became red in anger as I charged at the men. It was too late before they saw me.

It was useless to try to run.

"Good morning, sir," The one who had been boasting all along greeted me in panic, and I didn't wait before I gripped his neck.

"I'm a pup, right?" I growled deeply, tightening my grip as he convulsed to catch a breath.

The other two began to flee, but I quickly fired quick fireballs at them, striking their backs and causing them to collapse heavily on the ground with a loud groan.

"Who is a pup?" I yelled at the one I was holding but found out he wasn't moving anymore. He was already dead from my grip on his neck.

I released him and walked away while the others scampered away in fright.

I went straight to the garden, and everyone snuck away, and I smirked as I saw the fear in their eyes; that was exactly what I wanted...

Wow...

When I finally got into the inner garden, the cool breeze slapped my skin and sent warmth into me.

I grinned and made to lie flat on the ground when my sight caught something like a human being...

I fluttered my eyes, wondering who got the gut. No one had ever stepped in here. How dare this person break my rule?

I growled and moved closer, only for the person to wake up and sit up. It was a female. She was backing me. I could only see her hair.

I got closer, clenching my fist. I have not hit a female for a long time, but I am sure I will beat this one today. She dared me!

I got closer and, to my dismay, the strong sweet scent got into my nostrils, making my eyes widen.

I stared at her, transfixed. Could this be my mate? ...or did I have two?

I asked myself with my eyes popped out,

"Elena!" I called out, and she turned. She turned around, and I saw her face. I saw it clearly, even when it was from a metre away. I saw the pretty face and enchanting eyes.

It was her, the same girl again.
