Chapter 2 Chapter 2
Sable's POV
The feeling suddenly became stronger. The feeling I felt since the time I didn't finish the so called...tea Caius always made me drink but this time, the feeling became more subtle as the air shifted to something powerful and heavy.
"What's that...", I asked Calista.
"It's nothing, let's leave here", she said while trying to push me away from the hallway.
"But....."
"Sable walk fast. We have to leave here now".
"Why, is someone coming"
"Have told you it's nothing just walk fast", she said.
At this moment I was already curious about what was going and who the person that is coming is.
I turned my face to the back to take a look, but the moment I did I regretted it.
What I saw was a dark pair of eyes staring back at me. And I froze where I was.
"Sable, walk forward", Calista said after she noticed I wasn't walking again.
But I was stuck where I was and couldn't move my legs. When she noticed my abnormality, she looked back and saw me staring at the man.
"Oh no", She whispered. "Sable, try not to stare at him. Move your eyes away from him".
"Am trying but I can't. It's like there something drawing me to his eyes. Ja can't look away no matter how hard I try", I replied back to her.
It felt like something was pulling me towards him and I meant it. He walked and stopped right in front of me.
"Watch where you are going", he said.
"I..."
The ground suddenly tilted beneath me and before I could stop myself, I stumbled towards him. Straight into arms. His hands caught my arms instantly to stop me from falling to the ground, but the moment his skin touched mine everything exploded.
A surge of heat tore through my body and my knees almost gave out but I tightened my fingers around him.
"What are you...",he whispered.
“I–I don’t know what you are talking about”.
His eyes suddenly changed in front of me to something dark and it was glowing.
"You are not human", he said.
"What do you mean....of course am human".
"No", he said quietly."You are not".
Panic rose I my chest at his words.
"Let go of me".
But he didn't move neither did he let go of me as well.
"Will you let go of me", I said.
But he didn't let go, didn't blink instead he looked at me like he was trying to figure me out.
Like I was something impossible.
Like I wasn't suppose to exist, wasn't suppose to live.
Then–
"Zander".
The voice this time around was smooth, calm at the same time dangerous.
I turned to take a look and froze.
The man that called the name stood a few meters away from us, watching us. His skin was pale and his eyes....red.
"Stay away from her",he said softly.
Zander didn't move.
"She's not yours".
My head snapped between them at his words."Excuse me".
Still no one answered me. They were just staring at each other like enemies.
"She's not yours either, Leonidas", the name called Zander replied.
'So their names are Zander and Leonidas', I thought.
The pain inside of me suddenly became stronger and I gasped, dropping to my knees as my body shook.
"What...what is happening to me..?"
Zander expression suddenly changed.
"Where's your suppressant?", he asked.
"What...what suppressant. I don't know what you are talking about".
"The suppressant. The medicine you take".
"I don't take any suppressant but I do take medicine with tea every morning", I said painfully.
"Tea..", Leonidas said.
"Yes...tea.Why. My brother said it's because of my health", I said.
"Your brother. Who's your brother?", Zander asked.
"Caius. But he's my step–brother"
Their expression changed at the mention of my brother name.
"Caius...".
"Why.. what's wrong", I asked the both of them.
Leonidas stepped forward slowly, while his expression is no longer calm.
"How do you know him",he asked.
"I just told you, he is my brother".
"I mean, how long have you been with him?".
"Have been with him all my life", I replied. "Since our parents died".
The hall was still dead silent as the students to us talking. While some look confused, some were busy eyeing me. Calista stood there a little bit away from me with her face pale.
Leonidas breathed slowly, while running his hands through his hair.
"This is bad", he muttered.
"What do you mean......this is bad?" My heart started racing.
Zander locked his eyes into mine. "Did he bring her", he asked.
"He didn't accept to me coming to this school but he eventually let me go",I replied
"Of course, he did".
Leonidas muttered under his breath while they both look at each other.
"Will someone tell me what is going on here!", I snapped.
At this moment, with the pain and heat I was feeling inside of me I was already feeling irritated. While the student stood there like they seeing a ghost, pointing fingers at me, Calista looking worried, and the two boys whispering to each other right in front of me.
"Your brother is not who you think he is", Zander said.
My chest tightened at his words.
"What do you my brother is not who I think he is", I replied. "He is practically the only family member I know left, he is always protective of me so..."
Leonidas slowly shook his head.
"No.He is hiding you"
"Hiding me.....from what".
"Hiding you from us",Zander replied this time around.
"Why will he hide me from you. I have never seen you before, and I don't think he has as well".
"Because of what you are", Leonidas said quietly.
At the moment he said his word, the entire hallway becomes silent.
"What do you mean....what I am", I said.
The heat inside of me suddenly purged again. This it was sharper.
"Ahhhhhh!!!!", I screamed.
"What I happening to me".
" When last did you take your suppressant...I mean the tea?", Leonidas asked.
"This morning",I said while struggling to breath."But not all of it".
Both of them freeze.
"What do you mean, not all of it?", Leonidas asked.
"I mean, I didn't finish everything as I was in a hurry", I replied.
"Damn it,” Zander curse under his breath.
"What?” I snapped, even though I was feeling uncomfortable.“What is it now?!”
Leonidas stepped closer to me, his eyes locked on me.
“That tea…” he said slowly, “it’s not medicine.”
My heart skipped a bit.
"What". "what do you mean...it's not medicine?",I asked my voice my voice already shaking.
"It’s a suppressant”, Zander added.
The word echoed on my head.
A Suppressant.
"No,” I said immediately, shaking my head. “No, that’s not true, my brother said it was for my health.”
"Of course he will say that”,Leonidas said.
"You’re lying”, I whispered. “He wouldn’t do that to me”.
Zander’s voice dropped.
“He already has”.
My knees buckled and I could barely manage to stay upright.
“Then what is it suppressing?” I asked, my voice breaking.
Neither of them answered me and their silent terrified me.
“Say it”, I whispered. “What is wrong with me?”.
Leonidas looked at Zander.
“You really don’t know”, he said quietly.
“No!” I snapped almost crying. “I don’t! So tell me!”.
Another wave of heat crashed through me, stealing the air from my lungs and I gasped.
Zander took a step closer to me.
"You’re not human, Elara”.
My heart stopped.
“I am–”
“No”, he cut in. “You’re not”.
My vision blurred.
“No… no, that’s not possible…”
Leonidas’s voice came softer this time.
“Your brother knew that.”
The words shattered something inside me.
“No…”
“And that tea?”, Zander continued. “It was keeping it hidden”.
“Hidden from what?” I whispered.
All I heard was silent.
Zander’s expression hardened.
“From the entire supernatural world.”
My breath caught.
The heat inside me exploded but this time it felt like something inside me was breaking open.
"The... supernatural world", I whispered.
"Yes. The supernatural world", Leonidas said.
"Then...what am I",I asked.
Zander didn’t hesitate to answer, “You’re an Omega”.
The word hit me like a shockwave.
An Omega?
That didn’t even make sense.
“I don’t–”
A sudden sharp pain ripped through my chest.
I gasped, clutching my chest while collapsing to my knees.
Voices whispered all around me.
“No…” I whispered.
Leonidas moved instantly. “It’s starting”.
“What’s starting?”, I choked out.
Zander’s eyes darkened.
“The awakening”.
Fear gripped me.
“I don’t understand you”.
“You will,” he said.
My vision started going black.
“No… no, wait—”
And just before everything I couldn't struggle to keep my eyes open again–
I heard Leonidas say something that made my blood run cold.
“We’re out of time”.
A pause.
“He’s already here”.
