: Chapter 22

I wake up to find myself in a bed. It was so warm I didn't want to get out. 'Wait!' I think, 'How did I end up in a bed?'.

I quickly sit up to find Blake in the middle of the room tying his tie. "Good morning," he says.

"When the hell did we get here?" I ask.

"Yesterday," he answers, "You were peacefully sleeping so I didn't want to disturb you".

"Did you unpack?" I ask him again.

He nods, "Yeah, everything is fixed".

'Wow, how organised. I don't even need to do anything,' I tell myself.

"Go and take a bath. Our orientation starts at 9," he informs me.

"Sure," I say going to the bathroom.

It was so nice. The shower doors were made of glass and the tiles made of marble tiles. They looked so delicate.

After my bath I go to the changing room. It was massive, clothes orderly arranged by color. 'He sure did a good thing,' I say to myself. I didn't know which was the uniform. "Blake, where did you put my uniform?" I shout.

"Check in the left wardrobe. The one with pictures on the door," he replies.

I go to where he had directed me. There were pictures of us, my family, and his. 'This..,' say, 'This is so nice'.

I was on the verge of crying a few tears but I just looked in the ceiling letting the air dry them. I take my uniform out. I wear a black pencil skirt along with a maroon blouse. Blake handed me a black bow-tie I had to wear around my neck. The colors looked nice but I did not like the skirt. It was too tight that I had to keep my legs together. On top of that I had to wear heals. 'Who the fuck wears heals for school!?'.

'You do Luna,' I hear Minsi say.

'Shut up Minsi,' I tell her.

'Make me,' she demands.

I smirk and reply, 'The pleasure is all mine,' I block her.

"Ready?" Blake asks me adjusting his sleeves.

He looked like one of the CEOs from the movie Bully CEO. I nod with a smile on my face, "You look good," I say.

He smiles and runs his hand in his hair, "Not bad yourself," he says leaning on the wall and stares at me.

"It's not good to stare," I tell him placing my hands on my hips.

"Who said I'm staring?" he pauses and walk to where I stood.

He lifts my chin rubbing his finger on my bottom lip, "I was just saving a photo of you in my mind just in case if I get blind suddenly," he whispers.

Our faces were so close together that I felt the urge to move forward and put my lips on his. I bite his finger and he quickly withdraws. "Don't say such things, okay? Now let's go before we are late for our first day," I grab his arm dragging him to the door.

He suddenly stops in his tracks. He shoves me to the wall making my back cry in pain as I fall on it. He pins me there. "You don't tell me what to do," he says his eyes turning from their deep blue color to hazel and I knew it was Axel taking over. I smirk at the thought of wanting to show and let him know who's boss.

I chuckle and he looks at my with confusion, "You.." I pause changing the pose. Now he was the one pinned on the wall. "You don't tell me what to do," I say, "Other wise, you will regret it".

I see his eyes quickly changing back to their original color. I let him go and walk to the door. My hips swaying. I stop and signal him to follow. He growls at me but eventually follows.

We reach where we had been directed to go and I open the door to find a familiar face, Haley! I smile and run up to her hugging her tight.

"Haley," I say, "Glad to see you here".

She smiles and says, "Why wouldn't I be, someone like you needs someone to watch over her".

I look at her then the necklace come to my mind. I debate with my mind on whether I should ask or not then I eventually I whisper enough making sure Blake can't hear me, "I need to talk to you...in private".

She looks at me with worry and nods, "Blake could you excuse us, I need to have a talk with Luna in private," she tells Blake.

He hesitates a bit then he nods. I guess he had understood but he still had a bit of suspicion. We leave the room to another room where I sit with haley on the couch. I breath before I say anything else. She just looks at me waiting for me to say something.

"Uhhh," I clear my throat, "I have been wondering if you knew anything about my past".

She thinks for a moment, "I don't think I remember, your past was a long heartbreaking story. Even if I knew I wouldn't want you to know all of those long gone events," she tells me, "If fate really wants you to know about it, it will show you".

I didn't get what that was supposed to mean but it's fine. Feeling a little disappointed I try changing the topic to finding out what the words on the necklace meant. "I also had this weird dream. Of a vampire calling me his fiancé. He set me free but gave me a necklace," I pull out the necklace, "It has words that I can't even understand".

She takes it and looks at it closely reading the words slowly, "Duo...E...Las, De...Li...Rerof". When she finishes reading the words her eyes widening.

"What?" I ask, "What's wrong?".

"You are bound," she whispers.

Her eyes turn bright amber as she gestures her hand awkwardly. He says some words in a manner I couldn't understand. The necklace rises into the air as the words she had earlier said appear. She again says some mysterious words and the words reform each other. I read them: 'Forever till dead, we shall be bound'.

"What do they mean?" I ask. "The amber light stops glowing as she replies, "This is a necklace passed out from generation to generation by the royal family of the vampire kingdom. The necklace you have here is sacred, it binds you with you partner".

"Umm...I don't get anything," I say.

"What I'm trying to say is...you are engaged to someone in a way Luna," she pauses, "But that someone is not Blake....it's the vampire you saw in your dream".

"He's real?" I ask.

I could the adrenaline rush through my veins causing my hair stand on ends. "Yup and you are his fiancé," she says.

"B..but...Blake is my soulmate, my partner, my alpha," I whisper as tears attempt to fall down my cheeks, "I'm not bounded with a bloody vampire!".

I hear someone walk it and I was glad it wasn't Blake. What if he had heard all this. How would he feel. "Mind you young lady, we are not just bloody vampires," the woman says. She had blood red hair that matched her lips. She wore a dress that was laced on the shoulders and arms. She looked really young with her glimmering grey eyes. "I'm pretty sure you wouldn't want me calling you a dog," she says again.

Haley stands up and signals me to stand up too. 'Who is she?' I ask myself.

"Mrs Beth," Haley says, "I apologize".

The woman waves her hand as if shutting Haley up, "No need," she shifts her grey eyes on me, "You might be the transfer student".

I nod and reply, "Yes ma'am".

"Where's the other one?" she asks Haley.

"Let me go get him," Haley goes out leaving me and the woman alone. She just sits down and stares at me as if she was thinking about something. "So you are b...," she says but Haley walks in with Blake behind her.

They come and stand beside me. "Okay so you might be the transfer students from West Gate University," she says. Blake and I silently nod. "Okay so shall we go to the orientation room," she stands up and goes to a door I didn't realize was there.

We follow her and enter a room that was very luxurious. The floor was spotless and so were the walls. The glass table that was between a single couch and a curved one. She sits on the single couch and tell us to on the other one. Haley went and stood behind her.

"Luna Emerson," she says, "A hybrid of a lycan and wolf. Hard working and intelligent. Brave and courageous".

'Wow, is that what I really am?' I ask myself.

'No,' Minsi replies.

I just ignore her and concentrate on what the strange lady was saying. "Blake Williams. The next Alpha of Slogan pack. Powerful and hard-working. Top grader and....very good looking?" she says.

I was about to laugh but the look on the woman's face got me very intimidated. "Anyway welcome to MLU. I'm Mrs Beth your principal. We might not be of the same species but we live here in harmony," she says.

Now that I think of it, she has never smiled since we met. 'Does she even have emotions,' I say to myself.

'Of course she does,' Minsi replies.

'I wasn't asking you!' I shout.

'Mean,' she growls.

"What do you mean as in different species?" Blake asks.

"Oh," she says, "I didn't inform you. I amend, this is not just a school for wolves or lycans. It for all. Werewolves, Lycans, Vampires and Witches". I felt my heartbeat go slow. "But don't worry we have rules that help us live here in harmony," she says.

'No wonder she had a different aura. She's a vampire,' Minsi says.

'Vampires!' I shout.

It makes me think of Adonis. I hope he doesn't learn here because the harmony she is talking about is going to be tarnished. She continues to explain the rules we had to follow. Like: Don't provoke others. Don't be late for all meals or lessons. Greet your seniors and other rules I think were not necessary but anyway.

It continues for 3 more hours then she gives us a tour of the compass. As I walk down the hallway, I drop my water bottle and as I was bending over to pick it up someone else picks it up.

His crimson eyes staring right into my blue eyes. His pitch-black hair with steaks of dark red brushes off on his off-white skin. He looked like someone I knew, but who was it?. I couldn't see the other half of his face that was covered by a mask. I felt like removing it but I just stopped myself.

"Thank you," I say.

The guy just stares at me as though he was arguing with himself. He just turned around without saying a word and walks away.

'Strange...and rude,' I frown. I didn't like what he had done. Ignoring me like that. 'It's not like I wanted to talk to him anyway,' I tell myself, 'But at least a Welcome would be nice'.

'That's how I feel when you ignore me,' Minsi says.

'Well...I'm sorry,' I tell her.

She just ignores me. 'Okay, giving me the silent treatment'.

I walk a few steps then I realize something, 'Crimson eyes...Adonis!' I turn around to find him gone.

I go back to the tour and we finish it an hour later. This university is huge. It has to be. To keep werewolves, lycans, vampires and witch's. I wonder how they don't fight or argue. Everyone is in harmony. Blake and I return to our room. Well the next day we are going to join the others in the dormitory. I wonder who my roommate is. And that guy I met...i felt something. I didn't understand the feeling. I just hope I never see him again. I sleep with the wish of having a good day tomorrow.
