Cruella felt a tear trickle down her cheeks as Sebastian kissed her. She had really missed him, and he treating her like a friend really hurt her. She knew she had told him she wasn't ready yet, but she didn't expect him to act that way, making her feel like he no longer had feelings for her.Sebastian broke the kiss shortly after, and his thumb wiped off her wet cheek. “I've been wanting to do this for, like, forever.” He said, and exhaled heavily.“I don't understand, you made me believe you stopped having feelings for me.”“I never stopped Cruella. You said you needed time to process and that we should go back to being friends. I knew I wouldn't be able to stop myself from kissing you at every given chance, so I had to distance myself a bit. I never stopped loving you, Cruella.” Sebastian confessed.“Wait what?” Cruella blinked several times, her shock evident in her tone.“You heard right, Cruella. I love you, and I will never stop loving you. I'm sorry I made you feel like I had
Carly sat next to Cruella on the bed to allow the news sink in. She still thought it to be a joke or a prank but the look on Cruella's face told her she was serious about it.“Is that why you kissed Kyle? Because you were attracted to him as well?”“Yes but that wasn't intentional. I didn't know he was my mate and it just happened. I still don't get why I have three mates, one is more than enough for me but...” Cruella trailed off.“But what?” Carly asked.“There is a lot I haven't told you about myself. I guess I wasn't sure I could fully trust you before but now I'm ready to tell you everything.” Cruella said.“I feel hurt and happy at the same time.” Carly stated.“Why do you feel hurt?”“Knowing you didn't trust me well enough then, I really took you to be my sister.” Carly replied, she shut her eyes briefly, exhaling heavily. “You defended me from China and made me feel important. Before you, Sebastian was my only friend and he being a witch made me feel lonely at times. I couldn'
TWO WEEKS LATER“So let me get something straight, you were able to freeze someone then without a spell, but now you can't even practice simple levitation?” Carly asked with furrowed brows.Cruella groaned, “Seriously, this again? I told you that was a one-time thing, and I didn't really intend to freeze her. I just wanted her not to hit me.” Cruella defended“You still did freeze her, Cruella, so why is it hard for you to lift an empty cup?”“How is scolding me going to help?” Cruella asked with a frown.“You are right. We should probably get Sebastian.” Carly said, exhaling heavily.“I can do this, there's no need to get him.”“Why? Are you avoiding him?” Carly asked, raking a brow at Cruella.“I'm not avoiding him, but I'm avoiding something.” Cruella said, biting her lower lip.Carly shook her head, walked towards the bed, and picked up her phone. “I don't care, I'm calling my best friend.” She said but paused. “Speaking of which, I noticed you don't have a phone. What is this, th
“Mum!” Cruella exclaimed but shook her head immediately. “I mean, Mrs. Styles.” She corrected. Cruella remembered the fact that Mrs. Styles never allowed her to address her with the title mom. She would remind Cruella every day that she was adopted. Cruella often wondered why she had even adopted her in the first place if she was going to treat her like a stranger afterward.“You haven't changed a bit.” Mrs. Styles said it with a smile that didn't reach her eyes.“What are you doing here?” Cruella asked with a frown.“I had a daughter here, or have you forgotten?” Mrs. Styles asked, and her face fell as she did so.“Had a daughter. Rose isn't here anymore, so what are you doing here?”Mrs. Styles sighed, rubbing the back of her neck before responding. “Rose went missing a year ago. No one knows where she is.”“And why are you telling me? If she had gone missing earlier than that, I wouldn't care.” Cruella said it coldly. Rose had made her childhood a living hell, and Cruella hated her
CRUELLA'S POVAs we left the hall, Jason took my hand in his and smiled handsomely at me. I felt my cheeks burn a bit, and I could feel the butterflies in my stomach. I really thought I hated the idea of us being mates, but after spending time with him today, I'm actually starting to... like him? I'm not sure yet, but I know that I don't dislike him anymore. We walked that way, hand in hand, talking and laughing at the slightest joke. I was so comfortable with him, until...“Cruella?” The moment I heard Sebastian's voice, instinct kicked in, and I yanked my hand out of Jason's hold. I could tell he was disappointed by my action even without seeing his expression, but I was more worried about how Sebastian would feel. I knew I had to tell him about Jason and Kyle soon, but I just didn't want to hurt his feelings.“Sebastian.” I said it awkwardly, brushing some strands of hair at the back of my ear. Sebastian's expression was unreadable at the moment, but I knew he was unhappy with what
CRUELLA'S POVCruella, are you okay?” Carly asked, her expression that of genuine concern. It brought me a little comfort to know that she knows all my secrets now and that I could talk to her about anything. I smiled, letting go of the blouse in my hand. I still didn't want to believe we were actually going to the human world and then back to my university. I wondered if the humans there would remember my face; it would be a consolation if they didn't, especially because of my online humiliation.“I...I can't go back there. Can't I just pretend to be sick or something?” I asked, but Carly shook her head.“How can you be sick? Even I don't remember falling ill since my childhood.” She replied.“But what if they recognize me? I was only able to pull through after Ethan, thanks to Swayer. What am I going to do now?” I asked, my eyes filling up as memories of Swayer resurfaced. I thought I would have overcome the pain of losing her by now, but it still hurts like hell. I guess I haven't
BACK TO A THIRD PERSON'S POV“We are so glad to have you all in our school. You'll be assigned to your dorms very shortly, meanwhile, feel free to explore the campus.” Cruella recognized that voice and tried her best to hide her face. She knew she would be recognized immediately if she was seen.“Thank you so much, Mrs. Cushion.” Principal Hai said with a smile. Cruella paused, she wasn't sure she had heard right, but principal Hai had just addressed Miss Cushion as Mrs. Cushion. How long has she been gone from the human world? It did make her happy to know Miss Cushion was now married, and it tempted her to have a look. She raised her head, trying to get a glimpse of Mrs. Cushion. A smile appeared on her face when she saw her. She looked a bit older from Cruella's initial memory of her, and she looked prettier. Mrs. Cushion suddenly looked in Cruella's direction, and their gazes locked.“Cruella?!” Mrs. Cushion exclaimed. She wasn't sure she had seen clearly, but she couldn't forget
All that could be heard were the sounds of heavy breathing, the rush of the wind and the orders from the chief guard as he yelled non stop.“Don't let her escape! Get her!” He yelled as more guards joined in the chase.Elsa kept running as fast as she could yet as careful. She didn't want to trip and end up dropping the little infant which was safely cradled in her arms. Nothing else mattered to her now except this baby's life. If not for anyone else but for her queen. That's the least she could do since she couldn't protect her queen.“Get her!” She heard the chief guard's voice and knew they were gaining on her. She couldn't let them catch her, she couldn't let them kill this child. She increased her pace, running deeper into the forest even though she knew it was forbidden. Neither vampires nor witches were allowed into this forest because it's a sacred ground and the home of the white wolves. She knew that and so did the guards but they still chased her knowing that their new quee
