Part 42

~~~

"Pinkie, you staying here?" Rys asked her best friend with a pout of disapprovement in her lips

     "Unfortunately." The blue-eyed girl puffed out a sigh while putting her things inside the bag. "Cause I'm next in reporting for Economics, and I got to research about it."

      Rys narrowed her green eyes off to some space when she mumbled in a venomous tone, "Economics..."

      As you could see, the heroine is not a fan of the subject Economics. In fact, she always sleeps in that subject and doesn't listen to the lectures.

      And the consequences, she gets failing grades. Well, most of the time.

      The black haired girl soon sulkily turned away from her best friend. "Fine, I'll go home by myself."

       ...

      As soon as Rys said those words, she felt a tingling sensation in her arm. And by guessing, it was because of him.

      "Who said that you'll go home by yourself?" Jace asked sternly while he held her arm in a protective way.

      "Woah, over-protective much?! You've only started talking to Rys awhile ago!" A mad Pinkie snapped at the man who was holding her friend's arm.

      Rys could see that Pinkie doesn't really like the possessed man for her.

      "And to tell you, Jace, she's not single anymore. She got a boyfriend," Pinkie said without a trace of humor.

      "Oh my God, Pinkie!" Rys slapped her forehead.

      Jace can't helped growl at the blonde haired girl. How dare she?! His mate belonged to him and only him. He tightened his hold.

       "She's f*cking mine, you bimbo!" Pinkie gasped at his words while Rys could only watched the scene before her unfolds. The guy continued to let out his possessiveness show.

       Rys was then forced by Jace to turn her head for her in order to reveal the neck with a guaze.

       "See this!" Jace tore the gauze away, revealing the painted mark. "She's f*cking mine!"

        Pinkie could only chuckle at what the man did.

       Oh my goodness, this man is stupid! He called himself a demon when he's stupid?! He just revealed his nature to them...

       Rys mentally face slapped herself. This guy's so stupid, and how did this guy even managed to possess Jace?!

       Noticing the girl's reactions, Jace's anger slipped away, and that was when he realized what he had just done and said. But instead of being ashamed, he tightened his grip on Rys and embraced his mate in a gentle way.

      "See, I told you... we'll meet again, but this time." Rys held her breath. "But this time, I'm going to keep you, and not let that man steal you again from me."

       With a blink of an eye, Jace and Rys disappeared before Pinkie.

       Pinkie could do nothing, except run for help. Never mind her report for tomorrow because this one was an emergency.

        Shit... was Pinkie's thoughts when she ran.

Theresa was washing the dishes while Tyre was reading a book about the vampire-werewolves war. Everything had finally calmed down after that day when Tyre learned that he fell for Rys. It was then the witch decided to shelter Tyre for the meantime after he eventually gets over from the mortal girl.

       ...

      As Tyre flipped the next page, he was able to sense two revolting presences outside the witch's domain. He quickly stood up, alert.

      "Calm down, pup, I know them." The old woman revealed her form to the alert werewolf.

       Tyre may have stayed with the witch for a few days, but the witch had managed to get his respects for her.

        "..."

       Tyre remained alert. They were still vampires. Even though the witch knew them all the way, he still should be careful.

       Theresa chuckled and went towards the door to open it. She wondered what will happen if Tyre finds out that Bled was the girl's mate...

       "Hello th-" She found herself grabbed in the arms by a desperate angry-looking vampire.

       "You got to help me, witch!" The blonde haired vampire shook the witch furiously while his brother behind him tried to calm him down.

       I wonder what happened. The mortal girl must be in trouble, the old woman skeptically concluded when the vampire finally released her.

       "What happe- You?!" Tyre suddenly appeared and growled at the man's appearance.

       Bled returned it happily with his shiny white fangs bared; Hash meanwhile was in an threathening stance when he saw the enemy's form.

       "You! I know you! You must be the one who attacked me back in the abandoned park!" Bled's eyes reddened at the memory.

       "You're the pup, right?!"

      Tyre growled in response and was about to shift when the old witch stopped him with a glare.

     "Calm down, Tyre. You totally deserved the title for trying to let your anger control you." Bled and Hash snickered at what the old woman just said.

      Tyre finally composed himself. With a groan, he muttered under his breath on how he hates everyone calling him the repulsive nickname.

       "Anyway, what's going on in here? Why do you have vampires for your friends, old woman?" The werewolf asked the old witch who waved it off.

      Upon remembering what he had came for, Bled inquired the witch for help. "I need your help; my mate got abducted by that f*cking demon!"

      Mate... The thought echoed in Tyre's mind. Remembering that vampire was the girl's mate, he felt a sting in his chest before finally processing everything into his mind.

       "What?!" The werewolf blurted it out.

      The old woman silenced him with her gray eyes. Sooner, turning to the two vampires whose eyes got the panic glint on them.

       It's odd, right? These two vampires...a werewolf...care all for this same girl. So unexpecting. What does this girl have for all these unbelievable kinds to feel concern for her; why does fate favors her so much?

       Theresa turned away from those concern gazes, feeling green as envy. It was unfair on how life treated her this way. With a whisper, she spoke.

      "She's alright." Without even using her powers, she lied in a smooth way.

      Every man in the room calmed down, thanks to her lie.

      "She's in her house," She added. Her gray eyes still lingered on the floor that had not been dusted for a few days.

      Who cares if she lies? It's better if the girl stayed with her demon mate for the rest of her life. The man will take of her properly, and she doesn't have to worry anymore of choosing a guy for her.

      While for the other guys, she doesn't care about them.

      ...

     As the vampires left her domain, Theresa watched their backs. A smirk tugged on her lips on which Tyre noticed.

      But Tyre placed that aside and walked towards the living room to continue on the book he had stopped reading awhile ago.
