Devil's vow

Chapter 14: Ajax

Axiom Academy

Russia

The high, royal building of Axiom Academy standing proud with it's sleek grey and while walls

intimidated the people stepping there, it was a symbol of honour and pride.

It was early morning and the students haven't started filling yet, some were there, some were yet to

arrive.

Crack ....

Somebody shoved a boy off towards the lockers, making his spectacles fall.

"Hey! walk properly" the offender instead of apologising mocked the boy which made his fists clench

with rage.

His demons were taking control. Disrespect was something he never tolerated, he was born to rule,

born to avenge and to be the ultimate King- Ajax Ace Waylon.

Mafia men were dangerous ,they killed ,tortured and inflicted many wounds on people both physical

and mental but Ajax Waylon was something more. He was an enigma. He didn't kill, hunting was what

he did.

His eyes turned onyx to the depths where they could have been considered thundering black. Soon,

soon his thirst of vengeance will be quenched .He picked up the spectacles and a dark smirk made its

way to his lips.

"Ace.....is everything fine?" those words would have been worthless if any other person would have

spoken them but their current speaker was a perplexion to him ,the one he wanted to unveil layer by

layer.

Alaina's pov

"Alaina" his acknowledgement was nothing like before, his voice husky full of masculine, raw power like

a beast caged within.

"I am good."In moments like these I felt something was out of place, something I couldn't get a hold on.

He wore his half broken glasses again.

"What are you doing? " I cannot help but ask "Ace you shouldn't wear it, you will get hurt". I was

worried.

"These glasses are foggy already, why don't you buy a new pair? I will come with you" I suggested.

"Sua preocupação comigo evoca algo princesa ...... algo muito perigoso"

(Your worry about me evokes something princess...... something very dangerous)

Something stirred inside the pit of my stomach, his voice was pure sin dipped in seduction and I

couldn't understand a word that came out of his mouth but the way he said it made my thighs clench.

"I am fine tesouros"

(Treasure)

I came here to ask if Ryan was really the one who saved me that night.

Because neither did I saw the turquoise ones I was searching for nor I felt an tinge of jealousy when

Cally kissed Ryan.

But it surely made my heart hurt that the girl whom I considered family was actually not deserving to be

one.

"I will be totally fine, don't worry, have you seen Ryan?" he asked with his head tilted to the side and it

woke me up from my chain of thoughts.

"Yeah, probably making out with Cally." Her name left a sour taste in my mouth.

"Do you have feelings for him?" He asked with with his voice devoid of any emotion.

"Ace, I am angry because Cally betrayed me, not because she was likes Ryan, I would have been

actually happy for them if it wasn't for my personal issues with Calliope."

"It's fine Alaina, it's your life so it's your choice to make." it didn't sounded like he was content it with

though.

"So Ace I was going to ask if you are free so we could hang out today ,do you have a place in mind? " I

asked.

"How about your house ,we can hang out there, why not a movie night ?" he suggested.

"A-at night? but..ok fine" I didn't wanted to admit that I would be waiting for a certain stranger at night,

like I am doing past few days.

"It isn't like you will have a visitor or anything at those hours when you are all alone.....sleeping, right

Laina?" his voice had gone huskier at end and he had stepped closer, too close, making my breath

hitch and messing with my senses. Content is © 2024 NôvelDrama.Org.

"I-I no, of course not" and without a thought I sped walked the other side.

I didn't wanted to accept that he was indeed correct. Last night I pretended to be asleep because I

wanted to know if the person with the orange and cinnamon smell whom I thought to visit me daily was

a real one or a figment of my imagination. But I got tired and slept.

Green eyes, those deep forest orbs full of mystery seem to change their colour to oceanic turquoise

when meeting mine, in those worked up dreams I saw.

They were a remembrance of the breeze that blows along the shores of the almighty oceans, engulfing

my soul but as they darken it remind me of Russian tundra- all crystal harsh, freezing the living

essence. The possessor of those was an enigma to me.

That smell made me take deep breaths, basking in it's essence- home, it smelt like home.

But maybe today, I won't know if there is really someone who visits me daily or not because Ace would

be there and I highly dobut I will know the truth today.

..............................................

Standing behind the lockers Ryan the head bodyguard of Ajax was seeing the scene unfold in front of

him.

The first time he saw Alaina, stepping down those stairs he didn't saw what others did, he saw the thrill

of emotions in Ajax's eye -he was fascinated with her.

"It could have been hatred but you don't look at the one you hate, like that."

"Like what?" His deep voice asked.

"Like you are a sinner and she is your salvation." Ryan replied.

So when they all saw a beautiful angel desending straight from heaven, he watched the fiery queen

she would be, his eyes were scrutenizing the way Ajax saw her- like she was precious.

The day when Alaina hugged him, he could not help but tremble with fear, he saw the way Ajax killed

the drug dealer and god he had sinned to touch her.
