Kael POV:
I stood at my locker, surveying the hallway with a disinterested gaze. Another day, another dollar - or in my case, another day, another million.
That's when I saw her - Aria, the new student. Rumors swirled around her like a vortex, but I didn't bother paying attention. She was just another face in the crowd.
Until our eyes met.
For a fleeting moment, I felt something - a spark, a flicker, a hint of curiosity. But I extinguished it quickly, retreating behind my mask of indifference.
Aria seemed different, though. She didn't fawn over me like the others. In fact, she looked like she'd rather be anywhere else.
I found myself intrigued.
I leaned against the locker, my eyes locked on Aria. "So, what's your story, Aria? What brings you to our humble town?"
Aria raised an eyebrow, her expression unyielding. "None of your business, Blackwood."
I chuckled, intrigued by her defiance. "Oh, I think it is. You see, I always get what I want. And right now, I want to know you."
Aria snorted, rolling her eyes. "You're not going to charm your way into my life, Blackwood. I'm not impressed."
I grinned, undeterred. "We'll see about that."
Aria pushed off the locker, her eyes flashing with a challenge. "I doubt it."
And with that, she walked away, leaving me wanting more.
I pushed off the locker, my eyes fixed on Aria's retreating back. She was a challenge, a puzzle I couldn't wait to solve. I strode after her, my long legs easily keeping pace.
"Aria, wait up," I called, my voice low and smooth.
She didn't break stride, but I saw a flicker of irritation in her shoulders.
"Aria, come on. Don't be like that," I coaxed, falling into step beside her.
She shot me a sideways glance, her green eyes sparkling with annoyance. "Like what, Blackwood? You think you can just charm me into submission?"
I grinned, unfazed. "Maybe. You never know until you try."
Aria snorted, quickening her pace. I kept pace with her, my eyes never leaving hers.
We reached her locker, and she spun to face me, her eyes flashing with frustration. "Look, Blackwood, I appreciate the attention, but I'm not interested. Okay?"
I raised an eyebrow, intrigued by her vehemence. "Not interested? Or not ready to admit it?"
Aria's eyes narrowed, her lips compressing into a thin line. "Not interested. Period."
I chuckled, undeterred. "We'll see about that."
And with that, I leaned in, my lips brushing against her ear. "I always get what I want, Aria. And right now, I want you."
Aria's eyes widened, her face inches from mine. For a moment, I thought I saw a flicker of attraction. But then she pushed me away, her expression icy.
"Back off, Blackwood. Now."
I smiled, unfazed by her rejection. "Oh, this is just the beginning, Aria. You can't resist me forever."
Aria's eyes flashed with anger, but I saw a hint of curiosity lurking beneath the surface. She turned to grab her books from her locker, and I took the opportunity to lean in closer.
"I'll make you a deal, Aria," I whispered, my breath tickling her ear. "Give me one chance to prove myself, and if you're still not interested, I'll leave you alone."
Aria spun around, her eyes narrowing. "What makes you think I'd be interested in your deal?"
I grinned, confident. "Because, deep down, you're curious. You want to know what it's like to be with someone like me."
Aria raised an eyebrow, a hint of a smile playing on her lips. "Someone like you?"
I nodded, my eyes locked on hers. "Someone who can show you the world, who can make you feel alive."
Aria's gaze lingered on mine, and for a moment, I thought I saw a glimmer of interest. But then she looked away, her expression shuttered.
"I'll think about it," she said finally, her voice barely above a whisper.
I smiled, triumphant. "That's all I can ask for."
And with that, I turned and walked away, leaving Aria to ponder my proposal.
As I walked away from Aria, I couldn't help but feel a sense of excitement. I had a feeling that she would be the one to finally see past my facade, to discover the secrets I kept hidden.
But little did she know, I was hiding a secret that could change everything. A secret that could put her in danger.
I was the son of Xandros, the powerful demon lord. And I had a feeling that my father's enemies would stop at nothing to get to me.
I pushed the thought aside and focused on Aria. I had to make sure she was safe, no matter what.
Meanwhile, Aria was watching me walk away, her eyes fixed on my back. She couldn't help but notice the way my pants hugged my ass, and she felt a flutter in her chest.
"Damn, Blackwood," she muttered to herself. "You're definitely easy on the eyes."
But she knew she couldn't let her guard down. Not yet, at least.
Aria shook her head, trying to clear the thoughts of Kael's chiseled features and piercing blue eyes. She had more important things to focus on, like her own secrets and the mysterious forces that seemed to be closing in around her.
As she walked down the hallway, she couldn't shake the feeling that she was being watched. She glanced over her shoulder, but saw nothing out of the ordinary.
Kael, on the other hand, was indeed watching her. From across the hallway, he observed the way her curves swayed with each step, the way her long brown hair cascaded down her back.
He felt a pang of desire, one that he quickly suppressed. He couldn't afford to get distracted, not now that his father's enemies were closing in.
But as he watched Aria disappear into the crowd, he couldn't help but feel drawn to her. Maybe it was her tough exterior, or maybe it was the hint of vulnerability he saw lurking beneath the surface.
Whatever it was, Kael knew he had to be careful. He couldn't let his feelings get the better of him, not when so much was at stake.
Little did he know, Aria was hiding secrets of her own. Secrets that could change everything.
As she walked into her next class, Aria felt a strange sensation wash over her. It was as if the air around her was charged with electricity, and she could feel the hairs on the back of her neck standing on end.
Suddenly, the lights flickered and died, plunging the room into darkness. Aria felt a presence behind her, and she knew she wasn't alone.
And then, a low, husky voice whispered in her ear, "You're in danger, Aria. But I'm here to protect you."
Aria spun around, trying to see who was speaking, but the darkness was absolute. She tried to step back, but her feet felt rooted to the spot.
"Who's there?" she demanded, trying to keep her voice steady.
The voice chuckled, a low, menacing sound. "You know who I am, Aria. I'm the one who's been watching you."
Suddenly, the lights flickered back to life, and Aria saw Kael standing in front of her, his eyes gleaming with an otherworldly intensity.
"You?" she stammered. "What do you want?"
Kael smiled, his lips curling up in a sly smile. "I told you, Aria. I'm here to protect you. You're in danger, and I'm the only one who can keep you safe."
Aria shook her head, trying to clear the cobwebs. "What are you talking about? What danger?"
Kael's smile grew wider. "You really don't know, do you? You don't know what you are, or what's coming for you."
Aria's heart was racing now, her mind spinning with questions. What was Kael talking about? What did he mean?
And then, just as suddenly as it had started, everything stopped. The strange sensations, the eerie feeling of being watched - it all vanished.
Kael's smile faded, and he looked at Aria with a serious expression. "We need to talk, Aria. Now."
Aria nodded, still trying to process what was happening. Kael took her hand, his touch sending a jolt of electricity through her body.
"Follow me," he said, leading her out of the classroom and into the empty hallway.
They walked in silence, Aria's mind racing with questions. What did Kael mean by "what you are"? What was coming for her?
Finally, they reached a door hidden behind a tapestry. Kael pushed it open, revealing a narrow stairway that descended into darkness.
"After you," he said, gesturing for Aria to go first.
Aria hesitated, but Kael's reassuring smile encouraged her to take the first step. As they descended, the air grew colder, and the shadows seemed to writhe on the walls.
At the bottom, they reached a small room filled with strange artifacts and ancient tomes. Kael led Aria to a large book bound in black leather.
"This is your history," he said, opening the book to reveal pages filled with strange symbols and illustrations.
Aria's eyes widened as she saw images of herself, depicted in ancient battles and mystical rituals.
"What is this?" she whispered.
Kael's eyes locked onto hers. "You're a descendant of an ancient bloodline, Aria. A bloodline with the power to control the forces of nature."
Aria's mind reeled as Kael continued to explain her true heritage and the danger that came with it. She felt like her whole world was turning upside down.
The bell rang, signaling the start of another day at Ravenswood High. Aria walked through the halls, her mind still reeling from the revelations Kael had shared with her the day before.
As she turned a corner, she noticed a sign that read "Gym Class - Room 204". She remembered that she had gym class today, and her heart skipped a beat as she wondered if Kael would be there.
She pushed open the door to the gym and was immediately struck by the sight of Kael, his shirt off and his muscles glistening with sweat as he lifted weights. Aria's eyes widened as she took in the sight of his well-built physique.
Kael looked up and caught her staring, a small smile playing on his lips. Aria felt her face heat up with embarrassment as she quickly looked away, trying to play it cool.
But she couldn't help sneaking another glance, and another, as Kael continued to work out with ease, his muscles rippling beneath his skin.
The gym teacher, Coach Thompson, blew his whistle and announced that it was time for their first exercise - a game of dodgeball. Aria groaned inwardly, knowing that she was not exactly the athletic type.
But as the game began, she found herself dodging and weaving with ease, her eyes locked on Kael as he moved across the court with a fluid grace that belied his size.
As the game heated up, Aria found herself facing off against Kael, the two of them the last ones standing. Their eyes locked, and for a moment, Aria forgot about the game, forgot about everything except the spark that seemed to fly between them.
And then, in a flash of movement, Kael threw the ball and hit Aria squarely on the arm. She yelped in surprise, and Kael grinned, holding up his hands in triumph.
"Winner!" he exclaimed, as the rest of the class cheered.
Aria laughed, feeling a sense of excitement that she hadn't felt in a long time. Maybe this day wouldn't be so bad after all.
Aria walked into class, her mind still reeling from the strange occurrences in the gym. She couldn't shake the feeling that there was something different about Kael, something she couldn't quite put her finger on.
As she took her seat, Kael caught her eye, his gaze piercing and intense. Aria felt a shiver run down her spine, but she looked away, determined to keep her distance.
Throughout the class, Aria found herself stealing glances at Kael, trying to figure out what made him so mysterious. But every time she looked, he seemed to be watching her, his eyes gleaming with a knowing light.
After class, Aria gathered her things and stood up, trying to make a quick escape. But Kael was too fast, falling into step beside her as she walked out of the room.
"Hey, Aria, wait up," he said, his voice low and smooth.
Aria kept walking, trying to ignore him. But Kael kept pace with her, his long strides easily matching hers.
"What do you want, Kael?" she asked finally, her voice cool and detached.
Kael smiled, his eyes glinting with amusement. "I just wanted to make sure you're okay after that dodgeball game. You took quite a hit."
Aria raised an eyebrow, her expression skeptical. "I'm fine, thanks for asking."
Kael chuckled, his eyes never leaving hers. "Good. I'd hate to think I hurt you."
Aria felt a flutter in her chest, but she pushed it aside. She wasn't going to fall for Kael's charms, no matter how hard he tried.
As they reached the hallway, Kael slowed down, his eyes scanning the crowded corridor. Aria took advantage of the distraction to make a break for it, quickening her pace as she disappeared into the crowd.
Kael watched her go, a small smile playing on his lips. He knew Aria was hard to get, but he was up for the challenge. And he had a feeling that she was worth it.
