“So… we will talk later?”
She asked, her voice dropping to almost a whisper.
His grin widened and he nodded.
“You bet,”
he said, his eyes lighting up.
It made me smile oddly enough.
“Okay…”
she said, running her fingers through her hair.
She turned away and looked at me.
“Are you coming?”
She huffed.
“You bet,”
I teased.
I waved goodbye to the boys and ran inside the girl’s dormitory while Brody went through the other door leading to the boy’s dormitory and Enzo went across campus to the faculty housing.
The dorm was extremely quiet; if we weren’t quiet enough, somebody would be able to hear us. We had to pass by Eileen’s door on our way to the stairway that led to our dorms. Sarah’s dorm was across from mine. That’s where the larger dorms were and for a while, Sarah didn’t have a roommate even though she had 3 bedrooms.
But now Kayla was her roommate.
There was a faint light under Eileen’s door, so I knew she was still awake. I wonder if she had done her walkthrough yet to make sure everyone was accounted for.
I swallowed the lump in my throat as we snuck past the door and up the stairs.
Sarah said nothing as she went into her dorm, quietly shutting the door behind her.
I did the same.
Alex was passed out on the couch with his phone on his chest. I rolled my eyes and stifled a groan; the last thing I needed right now was to wake up.
I went straight into my room, excited to get some well-deserved sleep. I was so preoccupied with getting back to my dorm that I hardly noticed the Guardian’s orb that hovered over the campus. I saw a faint lining of a shield being placed when I arrived on campus, but I didn’t really take a moment to look at it.
I wondered if others could see it as well. I did, however, feel the calming sensation of the shield in place. I felt its powers and it was soothing to know we were protected. I hoped it made a difference though.
I pushed my door open and shut it behind me. Turning on my light, I turned toward my bed and froze in my place, gasping when I saw who was standing in my room with my jewelry box opened in front of her.
Third Person POV
“Conjuring darkness was not part of our agreement,”
Alpha Jonathan seethed as he stood outside of the study, he appointed to Jazzy during her stay with him.
Zagreus in his snake form rested on her desk, his eyes turned to slits as Alpha Jonathan stared pointedly at them. Jazzy leaned against her desk, a cocky grin on her perfectly formed lips as she glanced at Zagreus.
“Rest easy, my love,”
she said to him. “I can handle this quite fine.”
She then turned to Alpha Jonathan who tried to remain as calm as he could but facing darkness in his own home gave him a chill down his spine; something he would never admit out loud.
“Our agreement was for me to save your daughter’s life by turning her into one of those disgusting creatures,”
Jazzy seethed, narrowing her eyes at Alpha Jonathan. “How I do it, isn’t your concern.”
“When it’s in my home, it is my concern,”
Jonathan said, curling his lip up as he spoke to her. “You sacrificed my warrior to bring him here.”
“That half-minded mutt was no warrior,”
Jazzy scoffed. “If anything, I did you a favor.”
“He was young; he was still in training. He was one of the best in training. He had the potential to become great,”
Alpha Jonathan said to her, shaking his head at her.
He could help but feel disappointed; if he were to be honest, he liked Douglas. He wanted him to be Sarah’s chosen mate if he continued to excel as a warrior.
This only made Jazzy laugh though.
“He was never going to be anything. You have many other warriors that are far more capable of defending your pathetic pack than a 21-year-old virgin,”
Jazzy muttered.
“Darkness is not the answer,”
Alpha Jonathan continued to push making the snake on Jazzy’s desk hiss furiously. This time, he couldn’t hide his flinch.
“It would be an impossible task without Zagreus to help us,”
Jazzy said, stepping toward Alpha Jonathan before the snake attacked. Even with Jazzy’s best efforts, she couldn’t control the snake and if he wanted to attack, he would. “If you want this to work, you need to trust me.”
Alpha Jonathan’s jaw clenched.
“Do you not sacrifice any more men to keep that thing alive,”
Alpha Jonathan hissed. “As soon as my daughter is a powerful Volana, and she kills the rest of them as payment to you, our ties are done.”
On that note, he turned and slammed the door shut behind him.
The snake slithered to the ground beside Jazzy and began to take the form of the handsome gentleman known as Zagreus. He stood beside her, staring at the closed door that Jonathan had just stormed through.
“I take it he doesn’t know the full plan?”
Zagreus asked a glimmer of humor behind his tone.
“If he knew that his precious daughter was going to be my vessel, he would never go along with such a plan,”
Jazzy chuckled.
“You realize for her to be your vessel, she needs to die during this ritual. She won’t be herself anymore.”
“Exactly. She will be exactly what I want her to be. She will do exactly what I want her to do without question. To me, she’s just a body. Except she will be as powerful as the strongest Volana. She should also still have her mind manipulation abilities without the curse,”
Jazzy said, closing the small gap between her and Zagreus.
“Tell me, my love. What are you going with her once she kills all the other Volana wolves?”
Zagreus asked, wrapping his strong arms around her thin waist.
“I might keep her around as my pet. It could be fun,”
Jazzy said, shrug. “Might use her to kill my stupid sister as well.”
Zagreus gave her a low and deep laugh as he bent down to kiss her red plump lips. But just as he neared her, he froze entirely, his body shuttering in agony. He released her and gripped the desk to stabilize himself.
His scream brought her on high alert as she ran toward him.
“What is it? What is happening to you?”
“It’s that guardian,”
he hissed through his teeth. “It’s been summoned.”
“The guardian of the earth?”
Jazzy asked, looking around frantically as if it might appear in front of her. She knew the guardian was meant to protect the earth, but she never heard of it protecting packs.
“That bitch is back,”
Zagreus seethed. “She must have been summoned during a protection spell.”
“Will it kill you?”
Jazzy asked, extremely worried that her plans might falter.
“No, nothing can kill me. I’m immortal,”
