The woman who just slapped me widened her eyes, shocked upon seeing the man behind me. But... she looks terrified and her legs wobble like she was about to fall. My forehead creased when she ran away as if she saw a monster. I was expecting that she would be happy to see their famous King but it was the opposite.
I could have appreciated her if she did not leave me alone with this man.
'Daxton Astrid' There goes that little voice in my subconscious again. I do not know why I am hearing that voice but it only worsens the feeling I am having right now.
My chest began to beat abnormally once again, confirming that it is really him, Daxton Astrid. Really, my systems are going haywire and this is not normal anymore. Why does he need to be in the same place as me right now?
I immediately walked away from the classroom earlier to avoid him, but here he is now, just behind me.
I was thinking of running away to leave him here but I ended up turning my back to face him.
I slightly bit my lip, he is as white as a diamond shimmering in the day, when I saw his clenched jaw and cold eyes that just described his personality. His lips were in a pressed line. I have never seen him smiling and it is probably as expensive as his title.
I lowered my gaze after that; feeling too much just with that simple stare. But why does he have to stare at me? I'm just nothing and he is like a god.
"E-Excuse me," I said, stuttering like always in front of him. I, then, proceeded to walk past him.
However, with only one step ahead, I heard his voice full of authority which made me stop walking, "Underwood."
It was just a single word but that feels so awakening. His deep voice was just too difficult to ignore, it was so good to my ears that I couldn't help but froze on my spot. I squeezed my eyes shut trying to suppress these intense emotions within me. He will be the death of me if fate keeps on letting us meet like this. I couldn't handle the intenseness of my emotions.
I looked back, facing him, I cannot suppress myself from doing so and I found him with a rigid expression I couldn't describe. All I could think of right now is that he looks flawlessly handsome despite such an expression. His skin is clear and clean with no pimples or dark spots, he is that one who you could say organized and... just perfect.
To my surprise, he extended his hand in front of me. I just realized that he was holding a piece of paper. I was confused as to what it is but I accepted it regardless.
I looked at the paper and I blinked my eyes numerous times while staring at it.
Underwood Resident
An address was there. I was too shocked to have him give this to me. Butch must have told him about this. Yeah, only Butch know that I was looking for my relatives and he is the only one closest to Daxton.
However, why would Daxton waste his time for someone like me? It was probably for his friend Butch, I'm overthinking again.
When I looked up to thank Daxton, I only found an empty space in front of me. He has already left. He has left without me noticing him?!
Like the other days, I couldn't believe how peculiar this day is.
Seeing now that he is gone, I took a deep breath, feeling as if I lost a lot of air as I sat on my knees. My knees were trembling again, showing my weakness, that Astrid. I kept on wavering with him around, but I am glad that he has the heart to help me with this.
Damn, I am now indebted to that man.
Gabriela's POV
Maive, being agitated again, immediately left the room after class was over. She didn't even bid goodbye to us. Well, she looks pale and seems to be in a hurry so we just let her go.
When I looked at the 3K's, King Daxton was already gone, I didn't see him leaving. Oh well, what to expect from the King. However, he left his two friends inside the room.
I wonder why they aren't leaving yet when our classmates are leaving the room.
Me and Anne? Well, I couldn't move my feet knowing that the members of 3K's were here, we were waiting for them to go out first so we could breathe properly. The presence of 3K's are really breathtaking and damn, I could last forever in here with them.
But they seemed to have no plan of leaving the room so I looked at Anne and nodded at her, a gesture that we have to go. Anne nodded in understanding so we stood up and fixed our things.
When we turned as we were ready to go, "Oh my!" I was surprised to see Butch Fender and Cyrus Roaster in front of us. I looked to my right side to see Anne, who looked shocked to see Cyrus, leaning on the nearby wall, just a distance in front of her. Her face was red as a tomato and I couldn't blame her because even my heart is as fast as a cheetah while banging so loud.
I couldn't believe that Butch Fender is looking at me right now with a smile on his face. Damn, I could die today. This is just an impossible dream I have been dreaming of everyday. I... I was speechless and fuck, I couldn't move my feet.
"You are Maive's friends, right? She left already?" Butch asked me, he is known as the kindest among the group.
I am definitely nervous now that these two are in front of me. Now, one of them is talking to me and it was Butch Fender, the Butch Fender, Alpha of one of the strongest Pack in the Werewolf Race, the Crescendo Pack. He is known as the charming fighter, but when it comes to a serious battle, he transforms into a monster.
Good thing that there are no other students here or else I will get bullied for this.
I gulped before answering, "She's quite busy these days." I was lucky that I did not stutter while saying those words.
Butch's eyes were filled with amusement over something I don't know of. There's also a hint of a faint smile on his face. His friend, on the other hand, had his intimidatingly cool look. He was looking at the space, probably thinking deep while my friend, Anne, was mesmerized at him.
I tried to elbow Anne to cut her stare at Cyrus which made her wake from reality as she bit her lip, looking down.
I thought they were going to leave after that but Butch suddenly asked something least I expected, "You are?"
There is still a hint of amusement in his eyes.
I probably blushed after hearing his question. Not because of anything but I was actually embarrassed that he'd get to know my family name and would never talk to me again. Butch Fender is just an impossible dream, it's okay to admire and adore him because they deserve it, however, stepping on the boundary is just scary and unbelievable.
"Gabriela S-Sage," I answered. I stuttered saying my family name. I am a hybrid; half werewolf, half-vampire. My mother is a werewolf, while my father is a vampire. I was bullied before because of that. Vampires are one of the enemies of werewolves and it is something that makes me sort of an enemy for some.
They said that... I should have not been born because I'm just impossible so I never expected to ever have a mate, in the first place, I am out of existence. I am just a plus in this world, that should have not been born. A werewolf and a vampire? No werewolf can conceive with a vampire, however, I am the evidence of impossibility.
I was looking intently at Butch's facial expression after I said my family name but the amusement remains the same as earlier. He looks different from his group and everyone else here, he is approachable and charming.
He then nodded and looked at my friend beside me.
"I am Anne Leidea," She stated as she fixed her eyeglasses.
From the side of my eyes, I saw Cyrus glancing at Anne's direction. At some point, I wanted to scream out of joy and excitement but I knew our limitations and these members of 3K's are just out of boundary, they are just for our inspiration. We are not suitable for them because they have mates that are destined for them by the Moon Goddess.
"We shall go. See you around," Butch said as he smiled and walked away, Cyrus stood straight and followed after him.
Once they were out of my sight, I smiled widely, "I can't believe it happened." I said out of myself.
Anne shook my hand, "Cyrus... Cyrus Roaster was just near me earlier." She said in disbelief.
We were both in disbelief but Anne seemed to have been thinking deeply with her eyes full of admiration.
I snorted at her. She has been crushing on that man ever since we were in high school and I couldn't blame how she acted.
"I really think he is my mate..." She said, looking hypnotized as ever whenever that man is around.
I flicked her on the forehead, hoping that she'll wake up from her daydream.
"That hurts, Gabriella!" She pouted while holding her forehead.
I sighed, "I can't believe that in my whole existence, 3K's were able to know our name,"
Damn, until now I couldn't believe it. This is the happiest day of my life, one of the most memorable moments.
"Maive is turning our world upside-down," She seriously stated which I nodded.
It makes me wonder how that group knows her.
