Alia sat inside the infirmary, her gaze eting Cyrus’s before she looked down at her hands on her lap, feeling slightly embarrassed.
The vice principal explained everything that happened in the laboratory to Cyrus, who heaved a sigh.
"I got it," he said.
Fabian ticulously asked everyone to leave the infirmary, and Cyrus looked at Alia.
There were so many things he wanted to say to her, tell her how scared he had been for so ti until he knew what had happened and how his heart ached for her, but in that mont, he chose silence.
He walked and sat beside her before pulling her in for a hug.
His actions surprised Alia a little for so ti, and then she wrapped her arms around him.
The mark he carried on his neck was definitely making things hard for him now that he was torn between his heart and mind.
He closed his eyes, tightening his hold on her.
It was comforting, warm, full of tenderness and emotions, sothing Alia had never felt before.
Nothing could compare to this mont with her husband. The comfort and protectiveness she felt around him were unmatched.
She rubbed her face on his chest, and the man chuckled a little before pulling back.
"Does it still hurt?" He asked.
Alia shook her head.
Cyrus nodded.
"Now would you like to tell what exactly happened?" He asked.
Alia furrowed her brows.
"Didn’t the vice principal say that–" Alia started, but Cyrus placed his finger on her lips.
"I heard that. And I know that’s not the truth. That’s a lie you cooked up so they won’t look at you with weird gazes. Now tell the truth, Lia," Cyrus held her gaze.
Her mind told her not to speak of it, not to tell him the truth, or things would go haywire. He might hate her later and leave her, but her heart wanted to trust him.
And for so reason, she felt that telling him everything would relieve so of the burden on her heart.
Thus, rather than choosing to be those dumb heroines of most movies who keep it all inside, Alia decided she wanted to share everything she was experiencing.
"Things are not going well," She said.
Cyrus nodded and sat patiently, giving her enough ti to collect her thoughts.
Alia sighed and told him. She didn’t tell him anything about the mark since it wasn’t sothing she could show, but gave a subtle hint about the burning in her wrist and those weird images that the lady made her see.
Cyrus heard everything, his expression turning from ti to ti at her words.
"And when I woke up, I was here,"
Once she was done, Alia looked at Cyrus for his input.
"Do you think I am weird, or was it just an illusion?" She asked.
Cyrus shook his head.
"As much as I want to believe it was, I don’t think it was just an illusion. Soone made you see those scenes in broad daylight, and even if that lady wasn’t here physically, she did it from sowhere for sure," Cyrus ntioned.
Alia’s gaze deepened, not because she was shocked by his words but because she didn’t think he would believe her so easily.
Her heart skipped a beat, and she looked back at her hands. She didn’t know what this feeling was. It was weird, but its warmth consud her.
"Do you know that the scene you just described happened?" Cyrus asked.
Alia shook her head.
Cyrus nodded.
"It happened exactly 1001 years ago. They say that the witch who was wronged, her clan has been waiting to receive justice and see the demise of the werewolves and vampires since then," Cyrus said.
Demise of vampires and werewolves? Alia didn’t like the sound of it.
Why would that ancient lady co to her and make her see those visuals? Even after knowing that the future werewolf king was her husband?
Was this an attempt to scare her? Did all queens go through this? Or was there sothing special about it?
Alia’s thoughts turned haywire, and she nipped at her nails nervously, unsure what to say or do.
She wanted to et that ancient lady again and ask her everything.
What did she an by making her rember things? Why did she believe that she should know about it in the first place?
What was this weird burning mark all about, and why did it keep burning whenever sothing bad happened or that lady touched it?
There were just so many unanswered questions.
Cyrus, on the other hand, had another set of questions.
Recently, the number of vampires in his kingdom has grown trendously, and for so reason, they have been able to co and go without being noticed.
According to his team, they were looking for a man, and he thought these vampires probably knew sothing that they didn’t.
Could it be related to this thing?
"I want to read about it," Alia said out of the blue.
"Hmm?" Cyrus snapped out of his thoughts.
"There must be so book or script about the witch, right? I want to read about her. " Alia’s request caught him off guard, but he understood her intrigue.
"I’ll ask soone to look into it and arrange the books for the sa. Let’s take you ho for now. Grandma urged to bring you back to the royal palace, but I have denied it," Cyrus said.
Alia sighed.
She didn’t know why he was opposing the decision so strongly, and she didn’t know much about his family either.
The things she knew....well, they weren’t good to even think about.
"Do you think I have been causing a lot of trouble for you? I don’t think any student has been the kind of headache that I have beco for the principal these days. He will start hating soon," Alia’s expression turned sad.
Cyrus narrowed his brows.
"In that case, do you want to be ho-schooled?" He asked.
Alia shook her head.
He smiled and sighed.
"No one’s going to say anything to you. I promise," Cyrus placed his finger under her chin, making her look up.
"I know what happened was tragic, but it shouldn’t take your smile off your face. That’s one thing I like about you,"
Cyrus said.
Alia imdiately grinned, showing her teeth to him.
The man chuckled at her before shaking his head.
Sylas, sitting calmly inside Cyrus’s head, had a soft smile on his face.
He didn’t rember the last ti Cyrus smiled that freely because of anything or anyone, but from the mont Alia entered their lives, he has been acting more humane, more like soone who could feel, too.
This alone outranked Alia at the highest tier to receive his respect, and nothing was going to change that.
From day one, he has felt this.
And even though he could feel that Alia wasn’t as simple as she made it seem, he never said anything about it to Cyrus because he didn’t want him to start interrogating her and push her away.
Whatever she was hiding, whatever was troubling her apart from this dream and everything, he believed that she would tell them when she was comfortable.
As they walked outside of the University with Alia again in Cyrus’s arms because her foot got injured, Kyle sighed, watching the duo from the farthest tree.
"They do make a good couple. But how do I intervene and make a space for myself in her heart?" Kyle pouted.
Stone, who had been watching his boss for so ti and noticing that he had been observing Alia and Cyrus for so ti, nodded in understanding.
His boss was impeccable. He didn’t even know he would get a task targeting Alia, even though he had been observing her for so long.
Their boss was so dedicated to his work that it was all for them.
His eyes teared and he sniffed like a baby.
Kyle, who heard the weird sound, turned in the direction and saw his subordinate.
He looked at the duo one last ti before jumping from the tree and walking to Stone.
"What is it?" he asked.
"Sir, you are amazing. You are so dedicated to your team and to us that it makes tear up every ti I see you working so hard for us," Stone wiped his tears.
Kyle raised his brows.
Was it just him, or was his friend too emotional?
And what did he even do?
"What do you an?" He asked.
"Nothing. You are risking so much and have been observing Alia and Cyrus for so long. I am sure you are the one who hinted to Dominic to reach out to us with that atrocious amount because you knew he would agree. You are so sharp and ticulous. I wish I could have even 10% of your intelligence," Stone sniffed.
Kyle could see his subordinate misunderstood his intentions, but was in no mood to correct him.
"Hmm, you are indeed not so intelligent," Kyle muttered before leaving.
"But I am willing to improve, sir. You must keep guiding ," Stone said, rushing behind Kyle.
