Chapter 11

“I heard you missed curfew last night.” Silvijn’s judgmental statement was the last thing I needed after a night like last night.

Seeing him casually leaning against the wall next to my classroom with his arms crossed made me eager to punch him in his perfect lips. Really, I was more mad at myself for letting Ceyla kick the shit out me during my existential crisis. I needed to replace a lot more blood before I could completely recover.

“I almost died this morning, not that you care.” I waved my hand at him and limped into class.

He pushed himself off the wall and grabbed my arm, forcing me to face him. When I cringed from his hand on the bruises under my sleeves, his nostrils flared and his eyes grew darker. I could see his fangs elongating in his mouth. “What happened?”

I almost believed his concern for a second until I remembered him sucking on Valene’s fangs.

Pulling away, I turned my back on him. “What part of I almost died did you not understand?”

I sat down, but Silvijn shoved the student to my left out of the seat so he could continue to ask me stupid questions. He leaned into the row and scowled at me. “Tell me how you almost died, Marianela, or I will pull you from this classroom and we can be punished together.”

The thought of being tortured right now turned my stomach.

“Ceyla caught me off guard. Declan actually stopped her from killing me because I wouldn’t fight back. My leg was broken so I couldn’t make it home and the sun was about to rise. Haines found me and brought me home.” I refused to look at his murderous face. I didn’t want to fool myself into believing he would return to my side. He had made it clear that we were done and he didn’t want to be in my life anymore.

The snarl that escaped his mouth made the woman in front of him jump out of her seat, scared that she was about to be bitten. I ignored his outburst and focused on the blackboard.

“Haines? Do you mean the blacksmith’s son?” His anger subsided for a moment as he tried to process my story.

“The one and only. He killed his father, so he’s been in reform schools ever since. If not for him, I wouldn’t be here.” I didn’t want to come across as dramatic to gain his sympathy, but it was true.

“I will murder Declan and make Ceyla watch.” His hands gripped the metal desk so hard I heard it groan from the pressure it was enduring.

I snapped my head around to glare at him. “You will do no such thing. You made it clear that you don’t care about me anymore. Besides, I don’t need anyone fighting my battles. I’m a big girl and I can handle an assassin and his crazed master.”

I knew better than to believe I could defeat Declan without my enchanted swords or a bright sun in the sky, but I didn’t want Silvijn getting involved in my problems.
