Chapter 112 CHAPTER 112
He didn't take it from me, he stepped back instead, as though I'd insulted him.
“I didn't give it to you as a romantic gesture, you're always getting into trouble and that's supposed to help you. Why are you giving it back?”
“I didn't consider it a romantic gesture either, but the last two times I'd been close to death, it didn't save me. Florian and my other Soul Tie did. This thing makes people look at me in a way that I don't like.”
“Like you belong to me.”
“I don't and I don't need reminders of that. Take it.”
“Keep it, it's not an option,” he snapped, turning around to leave.
“I'll throw it away!” I snarled, my emotions all over the place.
He came back to me and instead of grabbing the stone, he pulled me forward, flush against his skin and for a few seconds, our eyes locked into each other's, speechless.
“You don't understand what you're doing to me and for both our sakes, I hope you don't test me further Alira.”
“Or what?” I bit out stubbornly.
I shouldn't have, his eyes were already black, why was I testing him?
Zade already had enough time to do what he needs to do and I should end this right now but he was grabbing my shoulder, and I was stuck looking at him.
No, at his lips.
They're full and before I could form a coherent thought, they were heading towards me.
I should move back, but who am I deceiving?
I want those lips more than I want to breathe and when they swallowed mine, I knew why.
Kissing Zade was amazing, sweet, exhilarating and exciting but the Principal is a powerhouse and that's what this kiss was.
A takeover.
My lips tried battling with his but it was over in a second, his tongue delved past my defences next and his legs parted mine, my pussy sitting on his legs.
I hated clothes so much at that moment.
A moan escaped my throat and it drove him nuts; he lifted me off the ground and kissed me harder, his tongue taking over my senses.
My body grinded against his torso and everything in me screamed at me to climb him all the way.
Styx made a sound and we both stopped immediately, shocked at how far this had gone.
Slowly, he dropped me on the ground and took a step back.
“Go,” he whispered and wordlessly, I mounted Styx and she ran off.
I don't know what the hell that was but I'm addicted from just a taste of it.
How do I tell Zade all of this?
Should I?
We're leaving together after all, there's no point giving him reason to worry.
I would have stayed knowing now that he liked me more than he cared to admit but like Akua said, there's only so far the Principal's power could reach.
Kovar's death can't be on his head. I won't allow it.
Styx knew where to drop me off at, the wise Steed.
“I didn't forget to bring apples for you today,” I rubbed her mane and brought out the delights from my bag and fed her.
She was more than excited.
Rubbing her head one last time, I sent her off.
I was about to enter Zade's house when I saw a movement in the corner of my eyes. I looked around but it was likely my overstimulated imagination so I walked into the house.
I tried to turn on the lights but they weren't working.
“Zade?” I called out but he clearly wasn't back yet.
My vision was better than my human form though so I walked to the room to bathe and change from my clothes.
But before I could peel off my clothes, I felt a bag cover my head.
One moment I was all alone, the next, I lost all access to my vision and I couldn't scream, the sack was stinking really badly.
Knowing it must be contaminated with something, I didn't breathe.
But I fought like crazy, screamed my lungs out and tried to push the person away so I could see and breathe.
The person cursed in a strange language, I knew they were cursing from the way the word was said and then I felt myself being pulled down.
Like he was disappearing through a portal and was pulling me with it.
I fought harder, considering I'd spent the entire day fighting, I was weaker than usual but I fought like my life depended on it because alas, it did.
This kidnapper didn't have a knife but they had magic and I don't have a good grip on mine so I couldn't escape.
My head was already disappearing into the void when I heard footsteps running.
The person trying to kidnap me pulled harder, knowing that help was on the way made me fight harder and soon, hands grabbed my shoulders and pulled so hard that I felt my neck dislocate.
But the kidnapper lost his grip on me and I was pulled out of that dark hole.
The second my body hit Zade's familiar chest, my vision blacked out.
I woke up to a bright room, the two suns doing extra time today.
Another day, another morning after nearly getting killed.
It's crazy how none of them has succeeded since they started trying. I wonder why. Skill issue perhaps.
When I got downstairs, I saw Zade with lots of books splayed around him while he sat on the ground, writing things down.
“Hi,” I greeted him, slowly walking towards him in confusion.
His eyes lit up immediately and I watched him drop the book get up and walk towards me.
“We're leaving tomorrow, I'll make sure of it.”
“Tomorrow?” I gasped, seeking for the excitement that's supposed to come with this information.
“Yes, baby. If I hadn't come at the right moment, if… I'm taking you out of here if it's the last thing I do but before that, I'm going to kill that bastard.”
“What? Don't do that, since we're leaving, there's no need to.”
“I spoke to Kovar about it and he wants to lock him up in the dungeons but I disagree. We just proved to every idiot that it's okay to hurt and kill people in this academy without consequences just because he's related to some powerful official. I disagree. I'll kill him and we'll leave, let them all wonder what happened.”
“Are you sure?”
“Yes, Sunshine. Go and say goodbye to your friends, I'm going to make the portal safe for travel by tomorrow.”
“Don't you want to go see your people too?”
“You think my mother will be okay with me disappearing on her? Besides, I can always come and visit, I'm not disappearing forever. But without a dragon, an actual flying one, sorry Tharagaun, it just feels like Drakkonia isn't for me.”
I hugged him before going to prepare for school.
