VALENCIA’S POV
"You look marvelous tonight. Tell us what this glow is all about?" Leen walked to as she swayed her hips in front of , making chuckle.
I looked at Henry, who was eyeing Leen with a blush on his face, trying his best to not be caught staring and I shook my head at him.
"You noticed? This glow cos after drinking raw blood. I am sure Henry won’t mind if you drink from him. Right, Henry?" I asked the guy, who bit the inside of his cheeks, blushing even harder.
He looked at with a glare when he realized what I was doing.
"What drinking blood? Only a witch like you can think of it. Who knows if you have so cult thing going under your basent," Henry comnted before drowning his drink, and we all laughed at his embarrassnt while Leen enjoyed the reaction, deliberately moving towards him as he went stiff.
"I will be around," I told them and was about to move when soone held my hand and pulled back, making look at the person with a scowl.
However, when I looked into the familiar blue eyes and noticed it was just Aiden, I rolled my eyes.
"You seriously keep asking for a punch to KO you. How many tis have I told you not to do this?" I asked before jerking his hand away.
He chuckled before pulling my cheeks, making even more annoyed.
"I can’t help it. You look really cute when you are angry like that," Aiden said.
I rolled my eyes at him.
"So, where have you been?" He asked, and I quirked my brows.
Right. We haven’t really talked for so ti and -
I paused when I felt a little weird.
I looked around hastily. What was this all about?
Why was I feeling the sudden pressure in the environnt?
"Where are you looking? Trying to form up and answer?" Aiden asked , snapping out of my thoughts and I smiled awkwardly.
"There’s nothing like that. I had just been busy with this and that. With my guardian now staying here, my adventures have been limited too. You know how it is," I told him and he nodded.
"I understand. With the amount of danger and problems you keep getting yourself into, I am surprised that they haven’t already decided upon a permanent bodyguard for you," Aiden said.
I grinned at his comnt.
Why? Because when Aiden joined the University, he used to co with three bodyguards, the three bodyguards that I shoo away myself and sothing that I am proud of too. Hehe.
"Just get lost. I had a tough night," I pushed him away jokingly and he chuckled before pulling to the dance floor.
"The only way to release your stress," Aiden said and I smirked at him.

"Well, I know many different ways to release stress," I looked at him.
He raised his left brow at .
"Really? You want to go there?" He smirked at , and I grinned.
"Like we can go for a Trek in the mountains," I smiled innocently and he chuckled before ruffling his hair.
He shook his head at .
"You land the hardest blow, turn people on, and then imdiately retract. You have always been this cunning. Always saying provocative things and then backing off like a manipulator you are," He said, sneaking his band around my waist as he maintained a respectful distance, dancing along with the beats.
"Well, what can I say? I never said I wasn’t a psychopath, to begin with," I blinked my eyes innocently.
"Stupid girl," he flicked my forehead, making scowl.
Slapping his chest playfully, I turned around and closed my eyes, enjoying the dance beats, letting the music take over my senses.
The song suddenly changed, and after hearing the sensual song, I couldn’t help but imdiately think about one person who has clouded my head these days.
The one person I want to give a good ti, every day and every night, but want to stay away from him at the sa ti.
A blush crept up my neck when I realized where my thoughts were leading, and I sighed.
This sinful man was surely making a decent survival in this area. I swayed my hips on the beats and was about to turn around to ask Aiden how things in his gang were going when I noticed how his sll was absent from around .
I felt sweaty hands on my waist and from the way my body repulsed, I knew it wasn’t soone I knew.
"Hey!" I pushed the man back before glaring at him.
One look into his lecherous eyes was enough for to know that this man was purely drunk and didn’t know what he was doing or where he was going.
I gritted my teeth before moving to so distance to continue dancing, but the man ca there too.
He was surely getting on my nerves. I looked around, and seeing Henry busy with Leen and Tracy and Aiden nowhere in sight, I moved my hand through my hair frustratedly.
It looks like I can’t depend on my human friends to deal with this creepy human, I will have to deal with this stupid myself.
’Look at him trying to touch what he can’t even afford to look at. Does he know how he is courting death?’ Aurora scoffed and I felt her aura darkening, making furrow my brows in surprise.
Was she for real? She was changing her aura in a pub full of humans? Was she trying to get into trouble? I was about to ask her what her deal was because she wasn’t the kind who gets offended easily, that’s my job, but before I could do that, I felt a sharp object placed on my abdon.
I looked down before looking at the man who was trying to dance with earlier.
"Do you think you can push away, bitch? Now get in line if you don’t want to push this further inside. Why do bitches like you never learn?" He asked, mumbling the last part to himself.
I wanted to react imdiately, but then I observed my surroundings and noticed how a couple of n around were also looking at us and doing nothing about it.
The experience told these n were either affiliated with this man or were waiting for to get humiliated so they could have their turn too.
Now that I think about it, I wonder where my hero goes whenever I need help in such dire situations.
Aiden was standing there just a few minutes ago.
Sotis it feels like whenever I am getting into trouble, the moon goddess deliberately removes my knights from the area so that I will have to deal with these issues myself.
I don’t have a problem though, but must she keep testing like this? Give a break on so days, can’t she?
"Get in line? How do I do it?" I asked the man who smirked at , probably thinking that he had things under control, unbeknownst to the fact that I could kill him in ten different ways and even run away without anyone knowing about it.
"Let dance with you and then after that, you need to co with -" The man said, stopping when I stepped ahead, despite him still pointing his dagger into my abdon.
"Co with you and then what? Fuck, this is hot. It’s like one of my fantasies is coming to life," I blinked at him innocently, and he slurred.
"Really? Are you into this kind of stuff?" He asked and I nodded.
"It’s hot," I said and he grinned.
"Co back to my place and I will show you many hot things. A girl like you deserves it for sure," He said and I humd.
"Is that so? How convenient," I whispered to him before looking at my friends at so distance.
Should I get them involved in this? Well, as much as I didn’t want to, I was slipping with my acting already, and I definitely needed so ways to restore it.
As a human girl, I should be flipping off and creating a scene already, trying to vouch for so help, no?
Huh... It was quite tricky for soone like who has never done it and is used to doing it all alone.
Let try it though. I was about to try to tell Leen that I was in danger as she looked towards at the right mont, but before I could do that, I felt it again, the strange pressure that was dominating and I looked around.
"What are you looking at? Changed your mind?" The man asked, and I glared at him.
I wasn’t feeling it. Sothing was definitely wrong.
"You better shut your mouth if you don’t want to pull that tongue out," I said.
Boom! The blast echoed, and I froze in my place when the lights suddenly went out, all the electronic things inside the room bursting.
My eyes went wide. I nearly jerked in my place as people around started to shout and scream in panic when the bar area suddenly started burning out of the blue.
No way. I shook my head before kicking the man away from as hard as I could, earning a few more screams before I turned around to leave.
