Chapter XI

"W-who is that guy, Mathilda?" I think I can’t stay still without knowing his name.


I didn’t saw the badge he was wearing earlier because I got distracted by his mere presence.


“Let’s talk about it after our classes. I will answer all your questions later," she answered in a very weak voice.


"Why not now?" There is something about him that I want to know… as in right now.


“He might hear us. The King does not want to be talked about,” she said in finality trying to dismiss me.



Before I could speak again, the door opened and the Elites came in.


“Hi, Amaris. I miss you!” Sanya's voice was so loud as she ran towards me.


“Oh, geez! What is she? A kid?!” Mathilda whispered next to me.


“Hi…” I just smiled back at her.


She giggled and leaned on my shoulder as she clings her hands on my arm. Tanya smiled to me as well before taking the sat just in front of us. The other three guys settled at the chairs beside her.


“You are too loud, Sanya! Can't you see? Marcus is sleeping!” Amalia stood up. Her forehead furrowed as she looked at the woman next to me.


Instead of being bothered, Sanya sat up and folded her arms. “Do you think I would scream if I saw him sleeping, huh? Are you even using your brain?”


“Just admit that you are just insensitive! You want your voice to be heard by everyone, because you want everyone’s attention!” Her face is so red, irritation is visible in her beautiful face.


“This is not your palace, Sanya...” Then suddenly, she became calm as he saw the man moves beside her, but I noticed how her forehead furrowed once again as her gaze caught my eye.


"That's much better than pretending to be a saint!" Sanya then let out a sarcastic laugh. I even heard her twin giggling.


“Girls and their mouths…” Drake whispered as he shook his head while watching the two girls.


“That’s enough, Lia…" The man they called Marcus finally stood up. She turned to Amalia and I saw how the woman’s face softened from the irritation a while ago.


"I'm sorry." She toned down just like a kitten being tamed by a lion.


Even the whole room suddenly got tensed. He has this authoritative aura that everyone would be scared of. He stood up like an Alpha, and built as a real King. Even the twins and the members of the Elites bowed down.


“Mrs. Almacen is not yet here?” Marcus asked as he stares directly at Amalia as if she is the only woman he sees here.


I felt an unfamiliar emotion because of that. It was as if I wanted to wish he would look at me too. Why do I keep feeling this way now?


“Yes. She is already ten minutes late. Better talk to that professor, Marcus…” Amalia replied with so much tenderness in her voice.


Mrs. Almacen is our professor in Potion subject. I was in a hurry when I get back here because I thought she is already here.


"Maybe she won’t come anymore. I saw her in a hurry a while ago.” A man with long hair interrupted their conversation. He is one of the guys that I encountered at the hallway.


Someone suddenly hit his head.


“Damn, buddy! Why just tell it now?! We shouldn't have gone into this class then. It's a waste of time to wait!” said by the man next to him. He also has a large body and a small scar on his left eyebrow.


The two men are werewolves.


“Knowing Xerxes. He maybe got distracted earlier and when I say distractions, I mean… girls.” Ashton’s laughter echoed the whole place. He is in front and he is playing with the chair he's been floating on.


“You are such a playboy, Xerxes! Your karma is on its way!” Tanya butts in. Shaking her head while looking at the man they are teasing.


“I am not a playboy! I just know how to admire beautiful creatures in our surroundings. And I swear!” He raised his right hand. “I think I saw the most beautiful woman in the whole Wromouth City!” His eyes glistened as if he is reminiscing something.


“She’s literally glowing. I am ready to surrender and worship her!”


He got another hit on his head but he doesn’t seem to care at all.


“Is she really that beautiful? I don't trust you, Xerxes! You don’t even have a taste on women.” Amalia rolled her eyes. She is somewhat annoyed but trying not to show it.


The guy with the scar on his eyebrow exaggeratedly nodded his head. “Xerxes f*cking drooled upon looking at that heavenly woman, and Marcus… he got a f*cking kis—” He got interrupted before he can even finish his statement.


"Your head might tumble on the ground if you will not shut your f*cking mouth, Vulcan!” That baritone voice boomed over the whole room. There was a temporary silence inside.


I almost jumped from my seat in astonishment. He is scary!


"After thirty minutes and our professor is not yet here, let’s leave, Amaris.” I lost my attention to those talking in front when Mathilda spoke beside me.


“Hmm. Okay…” The smile I was supposed to give her disappeared when someone suddenly grabbed my arm.


I was greeted by Sanya’s bright smile… but I feel there is something wrong with that smile.


"Is the woman you're referring to better than Amaris, huh?" Sanya make me face the group and that immediately caught their attention.


Uh, wait? Why I got suddenly involved?


I feel like all my blood went to my face. All their attention shifted to me and I couldn’t look back.


"Uh, S-Sanya…" I stuttered. I hold her hand as there was a playful smirk on her lips.


“Oh, f*ck! T-that's her! Right, buddy?!” I heard someone exclaimed.


"Yeah, that's definitely her,” the other one agreed.


“She is the new student. I am pretty f*cking sure she will get your attention, and yeah… I wasn't wrong.” I could hear the familiar voice of Tanya.



I feel like I will cry in no time. Once again, I am in an awkward situation.


"What's her name?" That voice made me look at that creature without any hesitation.


I held my breath when I saw him staring at me intently. His cold emerald eyes seem so hypnotizing.


"Meet Amaris Atkinsons, the most beautiful creature in the whole Wromouth!" Sanya proudly said and I don’t know what to react.


She doesn’t need to say that though. I am not that special.


My gaze was cut off from the man when Amalia interrupted. “No doubt, she is really pretty but you are way prettier than her Sanya,” she said, smiling.



I nodded, agreeing with her. That’s true.


“I know I'm beautiful, but let’s admit it. We can’t par Amaris’ beauty. You’re a hypocrite, Amalia.” The lady beside me snorted.


Before I could even react, she already grabbed my arm before guiding me back to my seat.


"Wait up!" The guy named Xerxes appeared in front of me.


“Hi, Miss Amaris. I am Xerxes Perkins, the second in command of Alpha Marcus,” he said and I was surprised when he kissed the back of my hand. "I am pleased to meet a beautiful lady like you."


"Uh, thank you, Xerxes… but why are you kissing my hand?" I asked bewildered in his sudden action.


"That's my way of introducing myself." He scratched his head before shyly smiling at me.


Is that so? Do we really have to kiss one’s hand if we are introducing ourselves? I think, Mamita forgets to teach me that.


“Stop, Xerxes! Don’t include her in the list of your b*tches!” Tanya slapped Xerxes’ hand.


I just put my hand on my back.


“Don’t humiliate me in front of her, Tanya. Tsk!” He snorted before taking a step back, and another man now took his place.


They love appearing in front of me with no warnings at all.


"I am Vulcan Perkins, Gamma of Alpha Marcus and twin of Xerxes." He shakes his hand with me.


"And the guy with the dreadful looks behind me is Marcus Caden Laurent, the one you kissed at the hallway," he added with no remorse while grinning widely.


I heard simultaneous gasps from all the creatures inside this room. I blushed when I remembered that. Geez, that’s embarrassing!


“Oh f*ck, buddy! What the hell are you saying?!” Xerxes violently pulled away his twin brother. I kind the get worried when I saw him almost strangling Vulcan’s neck with his arm.


That seems painful.


"You k-kissed him?" I heard Sanya whispers to me.


I was about to turn around when someone suddenly grabbed my arm. I can feel the nails digging my skin.


“You kissed, Marcus? Really, huh!”


A fuming face of Amalia welcomed me. I could not speak immediately due to panic. She is so mad that looks like she would strangle my neck in no time.


Oh, geez. Can someone remind me how did I get in this situation?
