Chapter 12

Matilda's POV

"Why?"

He asked and I looked at Hemara. Her eyes were wide while I smirked at her. I swatted Alex's hand away and walked to my polar. I sighed before looking at Hemera again. She was looking at my neck or rather my mark. The class went quick with the girls trying to look sexy for Alex while the boys tried getting Hemera's attention.

"Ms José, stay behind," Alex said and I rolled my eyes but walked towards him anyway.

"Yes sir?"

"Why did you allow him to mark you?" He asked and I chuckled before looking at him.

"I'm not sorry sir but you rejected me and he saved me. You chose her, your sister. He chose me, his mate," I stated and he scoffed before grabbing my hands and pulling me close to him. It would be a lie to say I don't feel anything for him. He still brings up the flame.

"I felt it last night. It felt like I was dying. I didn't know he was marking you, he just..." I pushed him away and furrowed my eyebrows.

"Maybe you should revenge yourself," I said and his eyebrows furrowed this time.

"What?" He asked and I sighed before walking to his table. I took the banana and started peeling it.

"Mark Nyx. I think she would like that a lot. Besides..." He cut me off.

"She is my damn sister," he said and pulled me closer to him by my waist. I took a bite of the banana and smiled at him.

"Maybe. Maybe not. Can't be too sure," I said and he scoffed taking the banana out of my hands and placing it back on the table.

"Please take me back," he said and I laughed bitterly.

"Uh... how about a no," I said and he shook his head and leaned in, he kissed me and his hands went to my butt and he started groping it.

He pulled away and stared into my eyes before saying, "did you feel it?"

"I..." A voice cut me off and I'm thankful for that.

"Nyx!" The voice came from behind the door. I rolled my eyes as Alex walked to the door. He opened it and allowed Diana, Mani, Selene and Serene to enter the studio.

"Nyx," Mani said and came to hug me.

"Why are you guys here?" I asked and they scoffed before turning to Alex.

"So this is the boy who hurt my daughter," Diana said and started circling Alex. He didn't look an inch ready for war. I bet Diana had been practising that line since forever.

"I'm sorry but who is your daughter?" He asked and I looked at Diana.

"Nyx Anymone Ismene," she said and I sighed before pulling my hair out of the ponytail.

"Aka Matilda Marilyn José," Mani said and I rolled my eyes again. Alex turned to me and I chose the easy option which was to run out of the studio to my chemistry class. Thank god it had not started or I would have a lot of explaining to do. I went to sit on the back and placed my forehead on the table.

"Hey," I raised my head to find Alessia. She smiled at me and I did the same. She sat next to me and I heard a giggle. I turned to my left to find group of girls looking at a phone.

"Have you seen the new pranks?" She asked and I raised an eyebrow turning to her. Pranks? No. New dances? Heck yeah!

"Panks?" I asked and she nodded taking her phone out. She started showing me the videos. It was Facebook couple. Charlie and Alys. Or something like that. She showed me almost all pranks. From kissing pranks to cheating pranks.

"That was damn hilarious!" I let out a laugh and she nodded her head.

"You should try them on Andrew. It would be fun to watch a prank made on an Alpha," she said and I nodded.

"We'll have to see," I said and she nodded excitedly. The teacher never came class but I wasn't worried, I enjoyed the free period. Who doesn't? Lunch time came by quickly. Sadly I had to practice with Achlys. You would not believe that she was the one who was gonna mentor me for waterbending. It really does not suit her.

"You're ready. Right?" She asked and I shook my head. I'm not ready at all.

"You guys need to have it done by two hours," Diana said and I turned to her.

"Fine. Let's start," I whined and Achlys smiled sadly at me.

"You can form water when ice is present. How about you form it without ice or snow?" Achlys asked and I nodded. I tried but no water was formed.

"You have to form water in all its various forms and control it," Selene said and I sighed looking at Achlys. Andrew and George were watching me.

"Don't you think she should do energybending first?" She asked Selene and Serene raised an eyebrow.

"Why?" Diana asked and I turned to her. Andrew walked towards me and kissed my cheek.

"I believe you can do anything," he said and I giggled then kissed his chin.

"Okay... Who is gonna be her energybedning mentor?" Mani asked and I walked towards them.

"What shall I do?" I asked and Mani sighed before walking towards me. He stood five metres away from me.

"Do the same thing you did when you tried to form fire. But now, think about how you would bend Mani's energy. I will try to make a spell on him. If you are successful then... He won't die," Chang'e said and my eyes went wide. I cleared my head and looked at Mani.

"Ready?" He asked and I nodded. I put my right leg forward and bent the left leg to forty five degrees. I let out a long shaky breath before putting both my hand out and pointing them at Mani. Chang'e did the same as me and started mumbling things in Greek. I also started praying that it works so that he does not die.

"Feel your power flowing in within!" Achlys yelled and I closed my eyes and thought about how I would protect Mani from the spell. I opened my eyes and looked at Mani. He looked like he was in pain. I tried harder, the next thing I knew, Chang'e went flying to the ground. I ran towards her and she smirked at me.

"She will be fine. You have to try and stop love now," Diana said and I turned to her with raised eyebrows.

"When am I doing telekinesis?" I asked and she chuckled before grabbing my hands.

"You will do it soon. Try to stop the love George will give me," she said and I bust out laughing.

"Love George will give you?" I asked and she smirked before waving her pointer finger at the sky then pointed it to Andrew. Andrew smiled and walked towards Diana. He made a kissy face and was ready to give it to Diana. My eyes went wide and I placed my palm out to stop him. His eyes were turning from pink to black. I pulled out my second palm and made it face him. He sighed and smiled looking at me. His eyes turned light blue and walked towards me. Diana giggled and I sighed. Soon, Andrew started washing me with kisses and many more. I tried to push him away but he grabbed my hands and kissed me again. This is embarassing. He chuckled before getting up and helping me up too.

"Now waterbending!" Achlys yelled happily and hugged me.

"Stand in the same position you were in when you was forming fire," Selene said and I nodded and stood in my position. "Use one hand as a shield and the other one to form water throw it at anyone," she said and I nodded before complying. I made a small water ball and threw it her way. She tried to dodge it but failed. I started laughing at her and she started talking Greek like Hemera's sister had done.

"That was good!" I yelled and she groaned looking at me with angry eyes.

"What the hell is good there!?" She yelled and I laughed at how angry she was trying to be.

"I have just poured water on my aunt. That is hilarious!" I yelled and she chuckled before walking to Diana fake crying.

"I told you that you could do it," Andrew said and I nodded. George was on the phone with whoever.

"And I believed you," I said and he chuckled before kissing my nose.

"I think telekinesis will be easy for you since you have meditated since... forever. Just visualize objects around you in your head then try it," Selene said and I nodded before trying it

"When you got it, move your hand from any direction up," she said and I nodded moving my right hand to my left. I could feel something move but I didn't know what it was.

"That's nice. You are getting there," she said and I smiled and moved my left hand to my right and opened my eyes before they went wide. Mani and George were flowing on air.

"Don't let go," Serene said and I brought them down even though it was not gently. It was so hard.

"Sorry," I apologised and went to help George up.

"I could fly!" George yelled and I raised an eyebrow. I shook my head and his phone rang. He picked up and went to answer the phone.

"I missed you," Andrew said and I turned to him. How can he miss me when he was with me from last night.

"You were with me last night and now," I stated and he scoffed but smiled anyways.

"I know that but..." I cut him off with a fake cough.

"No buts," I said and he rolled his eyes. "I met Alex today."

"What?" He asked and I could tell that he was not happy.

"He kissed me," I said and shut my eyes closed. He sighed before gripping his hair.

"And you allowed him?" He asked and I looked down. What if he leaves me?

"I didn't. It just happened so quick and..." He cut me off and I looked up to meet his eyes.

"Why didn't you scream?" He asked and I saw the veins on his neck popping. Like he was suffocating and couldn't breathe.

"Who would hear me though?" I asked and he pulled me close by my waist and started inhaling my neck. I sighed and allowed my hands to travel to his hair. I had never touched his hair and now that I am, it is amazingly soft. It smells lovely.

"I'm sorry," he mumbled and I rolled my eyes and pushed his head gently from my neck.

"For what?" He pulled me closer again and placed his chin on top of my head.

"For being so..." I cut him off with a glint of playness in my voice.

"Jerkful?" I asked and he laughed at me.

"I don't think that's a word," he stated and I rolled my eyes and pulled my head away. I stood on my tippy toes and pecked his lips.

"We gotta go!" George yelled and I looked at him. I sighed but walked towards him anyway.

"It has not been two hours yet," I said and he nodded and looked at Andrew.

"We just gotta go," he said and I nodded. What ever it is that want him so quickly better be good. I'm not gonna leave here in a hurry for some stupid stuff.

~~~~~~~~lαtєr thαt dαч ~~~~~~~~

Andrew had to go and sort the pack work out. George had to go and spend quality time with Alessia. Mom is at work. Granny as usual, is with grandpa. Diana and Mani went to check the 'human world' out. Selene and Serene are going to sort out some wolf's life. Chang'e is with Achlys. Training. I? I am spending quality time with my books.

I'm bored to hell. I was planning to prank Andrew but the damn pack had to get in the way. Not that I don't want him to spend time on his pack and all but... I really miss him. I wish he would come here and kiss me with all he got.

I got out of the room and walked out of the packhouse. I walked to the direction of Alex's pack and hopefully, he is not busy or with Hemara. That would suck to hell.

The guards allowed me to pass without arguing. I sighed in relief and ran to Alex's packhouse. I played with some kids on my way there. When I arrived at the pack door, I was debating with myself wetter I should knock or just go inside. Before I could make my decision, the door was opened by Alex. When he saw me his eyes lit up and a small smile was present on his lips.

"Hey," he said softly and I smiled looking into his eyes. I don't know, its like when I'm with him or Andrew, we have all the time in the world and nobody else exist.

"Are you going somewhere?" I asked looking at the bag on his shoulder.

"Yeah. You could join me. If you... If you want," he said and I smiled holding his hand.

"Okay," once I said that, I was pulled to the opposite direction of the packhouse.

"Where are you going?" I asked and he chuckled still pulling me with him.

"You'll see," he said and I rolled my eyes and he pulled me to what looked like a small house. It was small but homey. It had a small garden in front and the flowers looked lovely. Almost the same as the packhouse. A mini packhouse. He opened the door and flipped the light switch. The lights went on and I walked deep into the house. It was amazing. Like someone's home. It was clean and no dust was present. I wonder who lives here. Probably Hemara.

"This was my home. Before my dad died," he said and I turned to him. I almost forgot that I was the one to take his father away from him.

"I'm sorry," I whispered and he scoffed.

"It was not your fault. I honestly don't blame you," he said holding my hands and led me to the couch.

"It was. I killed him," I said sadly and he shook his head.

"I think you did the right thing. He was..." He trailed off and I sighed still looking at him.

"It was wrong."

"He was working with witches to find earthbenders," he said and I looked at him. He was no longer looking at me but at the portrait of his father.

"Why?"

"They all believe that Earthbenders have the power to heal. They have the power to do almost everything on earth," he said and my eyes went wide.

"You mean I..."

"Yes you do," he cut me off.

"Why are you telling me all this? Did Nyx tell you to tell this to me?" He shook his head with unshed tears visible in his eyes.

"Because I love you!" He yelled and I got up from the couch.

"No you don't. You rejected me!" I yelled back and he shook his head before putting his head in his hands.

"I do love you. Don't you think I know that when we slice our left palms it does not mean rejection? It mean taking a break from each other, a limited break!"

"Very funny," I saw him wipe his eyes before looking at me.

"The reason why my father was hunting for you was because... he wanted to help my mother. She was sick then. Very sick. There came this witch, Adrazella. I was shocked when you granny talked about her that day. She was the one who told my dad about a Powerful earthbender. She said her name was... Ismene. My Father promised my mother that he would find the Ismene and bring her to help my mother. None of us was able to find you for ages. That was until that day dad ran after you. I never saw you but he did." He said and I looked at my hands and went to sit next to him.

"Where is your mother?" I asked and he sighed and kissed my cheek.

"Don't worry about her. She is freezed," he said and I scoffed before pulling him for a hug.

"Where is Nyx?" I asked and he inhaled my hair.

"You are here. Goddess Serene and Goddess Selene told me everything. You don't have to pretend like you don't know Hemera. Please forgive me," he begged and I smiled looking at him.

"I forgive you," I said and pulled him for a hug.

"Stay with me for the night?" He asked and I smiled and got on top of him.

"Okay," I said and laid my head on his chest. He sighed as his heart ran million miles per minute.

"How old are you?" He asked and I looked at him. He had a mischevious smirk on his lips.

"That's not a question to ask a lady but I believe I am billion years older than you," I said and he laughed at me.

"As an earthbender?" He asked and I sighed and looked at his lips. Those juicy soft amazing magical lips that work magic.

"They are cute... I mean I am three hundred and sixteen," I don't know why but I was attracted to his cute pink lips.

"Yes you are cute," he said and his lips brushed mine barely touching them.

"And you are ugly as hell," I said and he gasped dramatically before holding my hands and pinning then behind my back. He started licking my cheeks. I giggled and tried to get my hands out of his hold but to no avail.

"Take it back," he said and I looked into his eyes.

"Let me think about that," I said and looked to the ceiling as if thinking hard. "How about a no?"

He licked my nose and I made a disgusted face. Eww.

"What if I had the disgusting..." He cut me off by licking on top of my eye.

"Are you being seriou.." He cut me off by another lick on my lips. He chuckled at my scrunched face before nibbling my cheek. He stopped and stared at my lips. I leaned in and kissed him. He let go of my hands and they went to the back of his neck pulling him closer.

This day is just getting better.
