Aviala’s POVI stand behind a tree, watching and slowly waiting for Aelia to live with her bad news. The moment she disappears, a smile settles on the corners of my lips. I told him I would be back. I told him he belonged to me. He must’ve thought I was joking. He must’ve thought I would give up easily, but he was wrong.I would never give up on him so easily. Not when he carries the power that will make me the most unstoppable leader in this world. If I can’t have the void for myself, then I must keep the one who has it close beside me and me only. I think about showing myself to him just to add salt to injury and let him know I’m responsible for destroying his life. Of course it would also come with the option of making the right choice so I can make everything go away.However, I decide against it. Kai is not an ordinary man and he is very stubborn. Something as little as this won't do enough to scare him. Since the trial is in three days, I must wait until then, let the whole proc

Aviala’s POVFinally the moment of truth is here. I stand a few meters away from the mountain where Kai is, watching as he dwells in the thoughts of his impending doom. All he had to do was take my hand and he could’ve been on the opposite side of all this. We could’ve been doing this together to someone else. Not me doing this to him.However, achieving great things do take time and effort, and I am hoping that after this, I can finally achieve him. I’m hoping he comes back to his senses and realizes that I am the only one who wants the best for him. Even his little girlfriend can’t help him out of the trouble she basically helped put him in because if it wasn’t for her, he would have never gone into that village and put himself in that situation.I stand behind him, closer now. “Hello kai,” I called quietly, wearing the biggest smile. He turns, and I expect to see the widest look of shock on his face. However, I get nothing. If he is shocked to see me, he does a good job in hidin

Orin’s POVThe entire academy is gathered, watching and chanting my name, which is good. It is more than enough self boost I could have asked for. I want every single one of them to witness this.Kai stands opposite me, his hands hanging loosely at his sides. He looks calm, but I know better. Ever since the hearing, he’s been forbidden from using his void without supervision. But all of a sudden now, he’s basically been forced to use it. He now has to be the one to fight against it, because one wrong move, and he will be expelled. That is the power of Orin. I may not have void magic but I can make the one who has it unable to use it. What can be better than that?And whether he likes it or not, he must use it today. Without him using it, all of this would’ve been for nothing. All I have to do is make him lose control, and without doubt, the monster will show itself, crowning all my efforts from the beginning. “Remember the rules!” the examiner announces as we stare at each other. “Th

Aelia’s POVHe has lost it. I could tell the moment he stood up that last time that there was no going back. Orin is finally getting what he wants, but I can’t let Kai throw his life away like this. I can’t let them chase him out. I rush to get out of the arena when jafser and slyvie jump in front of me. “Out of my way. I have to get to Kai. I have to stop him.”“Forget it, Aelia. It’s too late. There are people who have already seen enough, and there is nothing you can do now to change their minds.”I squint. “People? You mean the students?” I ask. Slyvie shakes her head. “No. We mean them.” she points the direction that I follow and see a group of seven men and white groups all staring with deliberate intent. There is something else present in their eyes. Fear. It’s like something they know has returned. I turn back to sylvie. “Who are they and what do they have to do with Kai?”She let out a deep breath. “There’s something you should know, Aelia. There is a reason why most of us d

Kai’s POVI open my eyes slowly, trying to get used to the brightness when I see my mother staring down at me. My father is behind while my brother sends in a corner in the room. I turn so towards another corner and see Aelia. She looks like she has a lot to say. “I see you finally decided to join us,” my mother sneers. I look down at myself. How did I get here? The last thing I remember was Aelia joining me in the arena. How did I get here?“Mother?” I pull myself up as she continues to stare scornfully at me. “We should have never had you.” She spits. Aelia rushes forward, about to say something when I raise my hand and stop her. My mother looks at her and laughs. “Girl, don’t you love yourself? Isn’t there any other boy in the school you can have your little crush on? Why have you decided to follow him?”“Mrs. Blackwell, that is your son. How can you say such things to him?” Aelia replies. My mother takes a step closer to her. “Because he’s my son is precisely why I have the right
