This was the big question on all the students mind. Who's asking who? Who will Drayce Van Draal ask to be his Valentine? Who will Estevan Dreadmourne ask? Who will Alpha Andre Bloodfang ask? Who will Kairos Rivhallow ask? Who will Javan Kings ask? All the girls couldn't wait to find out who would be the lucky ones to bag the single guys this valentine.
Well Ezzy definitely didn't care to know. She was walking towards the main school building when she heard some juniors talking in a corner.
" I heard that Senior Drayce Van Draal is going to ask Senior Selene to be his Valentine " One of the girls said to the other.
" Well that's good I think they complement each other " The other girl said.
" Yeah. I also think so. They're both from rich and powerful families."
Of course. Drayce would definitely ask Selene to be his Valentine. Like what's so special about that b**ch? Ezzy asked herself.
" Hey " she said to the students. " Don't you have classes?"
" Sorry, school president " They apologized bowing away.
Upset for no reason, Ezzy made her way into the school building. She saw Ria also going in there.
" What's up mama ? " She asked.
" Nothing much "
" So who are you going out with on Valentine's day? "
" No one's asked me yet. "
" What about Andre "
" Screw him "
" What happened ?"
" Just forget about it "
Ezzy wanted to say something but a first year wolf kid came to them.
" Senior Ria " he said looking scared. " Senior Vaelor said you should come see him at the training ground "
" Tell him i said I'm not coming " Ria said to the kid.
The boy nodded and ran away.
" Does Vaelor think I'm a fool? If he's trying to toy with me then I'll show him the dark side of me " Ria said.
Vaelor Mythrandir was a trybrid demon lord descendant who was known for being a ruthless heartbreaker. He was ruthlessly handsome exuding a dark and mysterious aura. No girl was immune to his dark charm. There were rumors going around the school that Vaelor and Drayce were blood brothers but no one had been able to prove it. And they'd never been seen together.
" Just go see him Ria. " Ezzy said. " He may ask you out "
" I don't care " Ria said.
" Just go baby girl " Ezzy said. " Nothing is gonna happen "
Sighing, Ria said to Ezzy, " if I die you'll be held accountable "
" You won't " Ezzy replied laughing.
Ria waited for a while before walking in the direction of the training ground. Ezzy stood there until she was out of sight before going to the classroom. She sat on her seat waiting for school to be over. She hated the lovey-dovey act she was seeing everywhere. At this rate she was going to be sick. She was about putting her head on the table when Andre rushed to her.
" Ezzy where's Ria?" He asked.
" I don't know. " Ezzy said. " You did something to her didn't you?"
" I know and I want to make it right " Andre replied.
" Well it may be too late though " Ezzy said in an unbothered tone of voice. " She went to see Vaelor. He probably wants to ask her to be his Valentine "
" What?! " Andre yelled. " Where are they?"
" The training ground "
Andre sped out of the classroom.
" Silly dramatic ninnies " Ezzy said looking disgusted.

Ria gazed into Vaelor's silver eyes. They looked warm but if one looked hard they could see the underlying coldness in the depths of his eyes. He had long shoulder length black hair with shiny silver streaks. He was tall and broad, his body hiding Ria completely. He was holding her in an embrace which she had tried to refuse but had succumbed to it in the end. She could see why girls couldn't resist him. He was the devil himself.
" I shouldn't have come " Ria whispered against his chest.
" Why ?" He asked, his deep masculine voice reverberating in her ears. " You don't like it ?"
" It's not that I don't like it..."
" Then stop complaining "
Ria shut her mouth. What was she thinking. There was no way lord Vaelor Mythrandir could take interest in a silly gifted human like her. She was about to tell him to let her go when she felt strong hands pull her against the hard planes of a masculine chest. She looked up and saw Andre. His eyes were blazing yellow and all the hairs on every part of his body stood.
" MY MATE " He growled at Vaelor in a voice that Ria had never heard from him. " MINE "
" Calm down fox " Vaelor drawled lazily not in the least perturbed. " I was just keeping her warm for you. "
" I remember asking for your help " Andre said. " Stay away from her "
" Okay " Vaelor said flashing a devilish grin at Andre. He disappeared into thin air right before their very eyes.
Ria hugged Andre tight. He slowly began to relax. His eyes stopped blazing and his hairs fell. When he spoke his voice had returned to normal.
" What the hell were you thinking?" Andre asked.
" Well you felt the mate spark but pretended like you didn't feel anything " Ria whined pouting.
" And you foolishly thought the only way to get back at me was to accept Vaelor as your Valentine's day date?" He asked.
" Well what was I supposed to do? No girl in her right mind wants to be alone on Valentine's day. Well except Ezzy though. "
" Well don't do that again. I won't tolerate any guy being close to my woman "
Ria giggled. My woman. That sounded so freaking nice in her ears.
" Am I yours Andre?" She asked shyly.
" Yes you are. I'm sorry I acted like a fool back then "
" It's okay. My man " Ria squealed and hugged him hard. " That sounds so freaking nice."
" Yeah it does " Andre said hugging her back. This felt good. He would have to face the repercussions later, he should not have done this but he could not bear letting her go.
" Come on. Lets go " He said pushing every thought to the back of his mind." Second year students will soon assemble for their fight practice "
Hand in hand they both walked back to the main school building together. From where he sat on the roof of the school's library, Vaelor watched them.
" To have a heart " He whispered his right hand going to the left side of his chest. " To be in love " He collapsed on the roof.
" Who needs love though?" He asked letting out an evil laughter that made the pixie on his head to shiver uncontrollably.
" Andre just had to ruin the fun " Vaelor said. " Well that takes me to the next on the list "
His silver eyes became darker, almost black and the air around him became very cold like something sinister was lurking in the shadows.
" Esmeralda Rhazmyra. The Queen "
