“I see that you don’t value your life.”, He said as he walked towards her filled with anger.
He grabbed her neck and started choking her with force, it is best that he gets rid of her right now.
Harley couldn’t fight back because of her hands that were tired, she just coughed as she just hoped that he reconsiders.
“I need to get rid of you.”, He said and the weather changed, darkness was all over.
Suddenly he withdrew his hands as he placed his hand on the right side of his neck and groaned in great pain.
“Arrrgh!!!”, He groaned in so much pain as the mark on his neck turned dark red.
Harley looked at him and she became very scared, she doesn’t understand what was happening to him because he looked like he was in great pain.
Why was he even in pain? Was it because he slept with a virgin?
He was looking completely different from the cold and heartless lord Cyrus.
“Lord Cyrus are you okay?”, She asked but he didn’t reply.
“Get out!!!”, He yelled at her but she couldn’t go, she was tied down.
He hurriedly loosen her and she dressed up.
“You won’t remember what you just saw.”, He said as he removed that part of her memory and then afterwards he threw her out of his room.

Alex had offered to help Harley to her room but she refused, she was too embarrassed seeing him look at her with so much pity.
He saw blood coming out from her underneath and he wondered what on earth happened because lord Cyrus doesn’t sleep with them and keep them alive.
“Have a good rest.”, He said and she nodded as he entered the room.
Harley was happy about the fact that everyone was ok the training ground, so no one saw her in that condition.

“Lord Cyrus are you okay?”, Alex asked as he rushed to meet him, seeing the condition he was in.
“You can leave now.”, He replied as he recovered from the torture of the mark.
Whenever Cyrus looses his temper and is about to commit an offense, he would always feel pain that is to bring him back to his senses.
“I slept with her … A virgin.”, He said to Alex.
“We have to ki|| her.”, Cyrus said.
“She is just an innocent you g girl, we can just punish her.”, Alex said hoping to change Cyrus’ mind.
“That won’t stop me from getting attracted to her, neither will it break the bond we have formed. You know that if I don’t get rid of her, she will be the only one capable of satisfying my urge. I can’t afford to have a weakness again, I can’t give in to my enemies especially Magnus, once he finds out that I have a weakness, he won’t stop.”, Cyrus said to Alex who said nothing.
Cyrus was right about the weakness part and what will happen if they don’t break that bond they created but still Alex didn’t want death to be involved.
“I know you have vowed never to have anything with a lady because of what happened to Ariel but ….”
“Don’t you dare bring up her name or you won’t survive what I will do to you.”, Cyrus said angrily and Alex clammed his mouth shut Immediately.
“How could he forget how much his master h@ťěs bring reminded about Ariel?”
“You can leave now, you are not needed for anything, check the training ground and make sure it is going on well.”, He ordered and Alex bowed and left.
He got to the training ground and watched everyone and they were doing fine.
After some hours, they were done and the students retired to their room.
“Hey!”, Alex said to Emily but she just ignored him.
Everyone knows Emily as a quiet person but people that she has talked to called her rude whenever she opens her mouth to speak.
Alex has loved Emily for a year now and he has proven his love for her everything but she was yet to give him a chance.
It was obvious that she feels the same for him but she just doesn’t want to give herself false hope for a relationship bound to end tragically.
“What do you want?”, She asked not looking at him.
“I have missed you so much, I didn’t get to see you yesterday, I was worried.”, He said and Emily felt happy that at least someone still cares for her but one thing just scares her, she doesn’t want to lose Alex, she doesn’t want Alex to lose interest in her.
“I wasn’t feeling too well.”, She replied and he hugged her.
“I’m sorry that I didn’t notice, next time you are sick, just tell me about it okay?”, He said and she nodded.
“I have to go, we shouldn’t be seen together.”, She said as she disengaged from his hug.
“Okay, you should have some rest.”, He said as he kissed her quickly.
“I have to go now.”, She said shyly as she quickly left his sight.
“Emily are you guys dating now? You have a boyfriend? Tell me about it.”, Ruby demanded when Emily got to her.
“Mind your business.”, She said trying to push ruby away but Ruby wasn’t that type of person that will leave you alone.
“I can’t believe he kissed you, how did you get Alex, lord Cyrus right hand man to fall for you? I don’t even have a secret admirer.”, Ruby said with a frown.
“Who is he then?, Isn’t he your boyfriend?”, Emily asked looking at Liam.
“He’s Liam, my new friend.”, She replied and Emily nodded.
“So tell me are you guys dating?”, Ruby asked and Emily hissed, she tried distracting her from asking questions but Ruby was just too persistent.
“So you are straight after all.”, Ruby said playfully.
“There is nothing between us, I don’t owe any explanation.”, She said and ruby just nodded.
This was actually the first time that she engaged Emily into a conversation and she didn’t want to pressure her.
“I will see you guys later.”, Liam muttered and ruby waved, Emily only nodded.
They got to the room and they met Harley crying.
“Harley are you okay?”, Ruby asked as she rushed to hug her while Emily just stared at Harley from where she was sitting.
“He’s so cruel, he was so hard on me.”, She said admist tears.
“You should have just said that you weren’t a virgin.”, Ruby said as she hugged her tightly.
“Virgin or not! They are still going to sleep with her anyway, the only difference is that if she isn’t a virgin, lord Cyrus would sleep with her and if you are a virgin, it will be one if his guards or superior.”, Emily said.
“How about you run away from this place?”, Ruby suggested.
“What do you think Emily?”, She asked for a opinion and Emily just shrugged.
“To me, it is a bad idea. Remember that they have every details about you in the registration office, they can just check for address.”, She replied and ruby just sighed.
“I’m sorry that this happened to you.”, Ruby said as she pat Harley.
“How are you still alive, didn’t he find out that you were a virgin?”, Emily asked.
“I don’t remember anything after he said he would ki|| me.”, She replied and ruby and Emily just looked at themselves surprised.
“Just have some rest.”, Ruby said.
