Chương 29: Tit-For-Tat.

Aiden.

When I opened my eyes, a pair of green stared back at me. I wasn't sure if I should be startled or not, either way, I was too weak for any emotions.

The cuffs had been taken off me, but the bruise around my wrists were still very visible. I could still feel slight pain on my gut from the intense punches I got from those assholes as I tried to get up. But the person softly placed his palm on my shoulder, telling me to relax without saying a word.

His green eyes shined brighter as they moved on my body as though scanning around me. Slowly, with a grunt, he closed his eyes, moving his other hand on the air above me.

The more he did whatever it was he was doing, the better I felt. The pain that I could still feel vanished as though it was never there before he opened his eyes.

"You feel better now don't you?" He raised my hand to look at my wrist with a smile.

I look at him again but his scent was not registering. Maybe it's because all I could think about was the thumping pulse close to my ear as he leaned in to take a closer look in my eyes. "You have very pretty unusual eyes".

He spoke to me again and I suddenly realized that his mouth didn't move when he said those words to me.

I look at him with a raised brow. "What are you supposed to be?" My eyes moving back to where warm moist thumped. It drew my attention, his heartbeat directly in my ear as the hunger warned like madness.

"A wizard". He smiled friendly still not opening his mouth but was having a conversation with me, unaware of the battle I was fighting within. I was just an inch away from digging into his throat and ripping his veins open.

"Want me to get you anything?" He asked me, backing up. At that moment, I wasn't even bothered about what metrics, dimension or tricks he was using to speak to me, I just wanted to eat before I kill somebody.

"Blood". I tell him with a grunt, struggling to restrain my fangs that fought its way out as I opened my mouth to talk. "... Fast". I whispered, the veins around my eyes slowly surfacing, frightening him.

"Fuck! you should have said something earlier". He dashed out of the room into the next room instantly. I heard clashing and scattering sounds of metals before he hurried back with two bags of blood on his grip.

Immediately, I placed the first bag between my lips and drag on it like a wild animal deprived of food. He stood far away, watching me in shock as though he had never seen a vampire drinking blood before. But I didn't give a shit as I tore the next bag and emptied it instantly, blood dripping from the side of my lips.

The urge to murder completely vanishing.

When I took my eyes up, he was looking at me in amusement, brows furrowed and lips lifted. "Wow!"

Still panting as I watched him. "What? First time seeing a vampire eat?–"

"Uh, up close? Yeah, first time". He managed chuckling with all the right expressions on his face but his mouth remained shut.

This was baffling even for me as I lift my brow in amusement. "How do you do that?" I asked him

"Do what?" He raised a brow.

"How do you talk without opening your mouth?"

He smiled, but before he could answer, the large doors of the affirmary swung open. "Emergency, we have an emergency".

A lady yelled as they pushed a stretcher carrying someone through the doors with a couple of people running beside it. He was bleeding from his mouth.

"Healers..." Her voice tore through the large room. "We need a healer here now!"

The mute wizard turned to look at me before hurrying off. "Duty calls, you're free to go now". He dashed out of my room.

I hear them say "His jaws were crushed" and I scoff to their words. "We found him in that territory".

Is that even possible? How could someone do something like that?

I mean it's only reasonable if they were knocked out of place, but crushed??

Nah, that's extremely exaggerated.

I brought my legs down from the bed and in a blink, I was up better than ever and back to my full self. I needed to get back at those bastards that caused me pain, but for now, I need to get to know my way around here because compared to the other segment of the school, this place looked more utilized, tech-upgraded and spacious.

I even heard sports and ability classes are their speciality because every bred here is a predator. They are more athletic and aggressive than the others.

I strolled out of the room they placed me in only to find myself in a room with a very disturbing scene playing in front of me.

What the fuck is happening here?

Can someone be in this state?

I found myself staring completely taken aback as the goosebumps crawled all over me.

The person on the stroller was barely recognizable because his tongue, teeth, and his jaws were literally jumbled together like a meatball.

His eyes were open but he was fighting for his life.

"Where did you say you found him?" One of the healers that surrounded him asked as he joined the rest to conjure words that I couldn't understand. "At Bale's territory–".

"Shit!" One amongst them muttered, tension passing among them as they all remained quite taking their eyes one after another to the mute wizard that immediately dashed out of the room with a startled expression on his face.

Bale did this?

I turned back to look at the person on the stretcher as my orbs flashed into his. Without warning, I find myself in his head only to discover his identity as my stomach churned.

He was that direwolf.

The one that crushed my guts yesterday.

Bale crushed his Jaws.
