Crescent alphas seer 6 /Ember’s POV/ I didn’t want to believe it at first but after a few days it was obvious Daisy was avoiding me, I did accuse her of being involved in my brother’s death at the time which was because I was unfamiliar with her powers then but after successfully avoiding me for a few days, it proved to me that she could actually see into the future. “This is so weird, mom says seer witches are rare” I mumbled under my breath while I lay sprawled on my bed. “Yeah, they are but I heard they’ve got one among the freshman this year, that’s just mad…while I want to see her so badly. It’s been hell trying to balance my relationship and school work, I have my grades to worry about, unlike someone. You’ve been missing classes, especially combat training, just what’s going on Ember?” Lauren asked after I decided to get busy with my phone, awaiting Mia’s response to my endless messages. It’s been more than 10 minutes since I asked about where she is, why the f**k isn’t she replying? I furrowed. I was far too concerned with getting replies than providing answers to Lauren’s questions. “Dude! Don’t ignore me like that man!” Lauren complained. “Just what is it? I always fail at combat training anywhere, why on earth do I need to attend the class and secondly-” I paused for a minute to think. I’ve been so busy trying to get in touch with Daisy that it didn’t matter to me if I’m falling short on the rest of my activities, why though? Why must I see or talk to her? I have no clue, there’s just this suffocating need to talk to her even though it’s pretty obvious she doesn’t want to. “It’s been a week…I can make up for it later” I decided and Lauren furrowed. He was obviously worried about me; I am worried about me because I don’t get why I have to do this, I hate this push inside me I can’t ignore, something urging me to get to her, a nudge I wish I could stop, maybe it’s just the guilt for what I did back then, once I get it out of my system, I should be okay. “Yeah because of strength and despite your lacking strength you overpowered me and Jason last semester, even as dormant alpha your strength is on par with betas. Just because it’s dormant doesn’t mean it ain’t there Ember and what you get isn’t F, you’ve still got a passing grade either way- “I wanna go check up on Mia now” I cut in sharply shooting to my feet at once. “Aren’t you stalking her a little bit too much these days? You’re always checking up on her, I get it…she’s your sister and you’re just worried but bro, I think you’re overdoing it. No one likes to be kept under such tight watch like that, especially girls, she’s gonna hate you” Lauren advised and I paused for a second, mulling over his words since it hits where it hurts. ‘Is that why she’s been ignoring me? I doubt that. Maybe just this last time, this last time, and if she still doesn’t wanna talk I’ll just give up. I did try’ I made up my mind before approaching the door. “Ember” Lauren called disapprovingly. “I’ll be back” I promised before finally setting out. I wish they would at least shut their f*****g doors I mentally complained after walking past one of the boys' dorm rooms to see one of them making out with a girl with him between her legs and the door wide freaking open but I did use magic to slam the door shut. “It’s just the wind,” Pent said after the girl jolted in surprise, which earned a smirk from me. It’s only been a week and the girls are already coming over to boys' dorms, I’m not even surprised anymore. After several minutes of waiting for a response, Mia finally told me they were on their way to basic magic class, I wish I didn’t have to stop them on their way to the class but I have no other way if Daisy’s gonna keep avoiding me. The moment I could see her from afar I saw her stilled. I heard she’s blind but her fast reaction almost made it seem like it’s some makeup s**t. ‘She’s gonna bolt’ I thought to myself as she hurriedly let go of Mia’s arms and tried to leave as fast as she could which led to her tripping. My body reacted first, I can’t remember the last time I used super speed but before I knew it was at the other side of the hallway, down the stairs with Mia in my arms. “Mate” I muttered aloud feeling every cell in my body activating. I felt alive and invigorated. “It’s our mate, it’s our mate” Aiden squealed in my head startling me a bit. “Did you just…use super speed?” Mia who was now looking at us from up the stairs asked in utter shock. Yeah, I’m still finding it difficult to wrap my head around the situation and worse people are starting to stare. “Are you okay?” I asked Daisy gently raising her up as she had her back greatly arched since she almost fell over while ignoring my sister in the process. “Yeah…yeah, I…am” She stuttered before awkwardly getting off me. “Easy” I cautioned as she quickly tried to back away but winced painfully in reaction. She must have twisted her ankle somehow. “Hold on a minute,” I asked before going on my knees to check her ankle. “Don’t touch me” She panicked dragging herself back from me. “Hey, I’m not gonna hurt you, I just want to heal your leg, I can use magic…I promise it’s not gonna hurt” I assured as she stared at me with so much fear in her eyes, it was almost sad, she looks totally petrified. “You’ve made our mate sad” Aiden whined but I decided to ignore his disturbing voice in my head even though I’ve always wanted so badly to hear him again. “No, don’t touch me” Daisy insisted. “It doesn’t make any difference, I already know you’re my mate” Daisy flinched while looking anywhere else but me. So she knew, she knew she was my mate even when I didn’t. This is crazy for real. “I just wanna help” I emphasized before going kneeling to her feet and using healing magic on her leg even when she refused to look at me, that hurt more than I thought it would. I instinctively flinched when I felt an electrifying jolt I’d never felt before just from touching her. I want to keep touching her, I thought to myself caressing her ankle which made her stiffen. “Ember your eyes” Mia who had been staring at us in total shock pointed out and I quickly moved away since the urge to keep touching Daisy grew by the second. “They’re red” Mia added but I have no idea where to look. At this point, quite a few number of people have gathered around us, it only took them a couple of minutes to put those pieces together. “The blind girl is alpha Ember’s mate” People murmured. “That can’t be right, she’s a witch,” Another said. “Human and blind, how funny?” And there goes another ignorant one. “Out of all the omegas of the pack, are you kidding me?” Another whispered but none of them matters to me. It was the pained look on Daisy’s face that had my heart squeezing tight. “Excuse me” Daisy rushed up the stairs and paused for a minute when she got up to Mia, for a minute it looked like she was gonna say something but then she stopped and just walked away. “Daisy wait-” I tried to stop her but Mia held me back. “She’s a little bit overwhelmed right now, I think going after her is a terrible idea,” Mia said before turning and following her. “She’s very sad” Aiden stated the obvious and I sighed heavily. “Are you sure she’s really blind though, I mean just look at how she climbed the stairs, does that seem blind to you?” One of the girls among the people gathered conversed with another from the group that had gathered, I could hear it all, their murmurs, they mutters, whispers, grumbles and even their heartbeat….every single thing. My senses were sharper than ever and I kinda admit. “It f*****g sucks!” I mumbled before taking a sharp turn in their direction with a scowl on my face. “I wish you’ll all just shut the f**k up” I growled and they all stopped as if being commanded. Their murmurs and stares must have made Daisy uncomfortable, just what are they all freaking doing here hanging around our heads. I wish they would all just scram, ignoring the voice in my head head that wanted to scream at them to beat it, I walked past the congested mass and head back to the dorm. My head hurts, I would do anything to hit my bed right now. I groaned softly as my head pound harder, I couldn’t sort out the growing noise, it was unbearable, it was the same after my first shift, the heightened senses were super annoying at first and my body grew to adjust to it but now, it all feels so foreign to me again. I roped myself into my sheets after struggling to get to my room. They didn’t help much, both the pillow and the sheets didn’t do much to stop the indistinct noises around me. It hurts, my head hurts. “Ember! Ember!” I grimaced from the loud ringing of my name in my ear. After that comes the vigorous shaking from Lauren but I kept holding my head unable to respond or do anything. I probably lost consciousness in the process because by the time I opened my eyes, I was in the clinic. “What the hell?” I groaned softly after opening my eyes to realise I was hooked up an IV. “You’re awake alpha” Miss Lowen the famous nurse of the school clinic walked up to me with a smile on her face. “What happened? What am I doing here?” I frowned wanting to get rid of the infusion needle stuck into my skin. “I wouldn’t do that if I were you” The nurse warned. “It helps keep the voices out” She claimed and I stopped, then fall back to bed. “What am I doing here?” I reiterated. “You probably passed out from the headache. We gave you something to numb the pain but it’s only temporary. You’ll have to shift Alpha” The mention of shifting had me gulping nervously, after that comes erratic beating of my heart and unsteady pulse palpitations. “I can’t” ----------
