CHAPTER 54 : 7 MONTHS LATER
CHAPTER 54 : 7 MONTHS LATER
It had been 7 months, and the girls were beginning to feel uneasy as the time passed.
They felt as if someone was staring at them on the way to school and later in class.
The girls now felt as if someone was staring at them and following them back home.
Alyssa, Juliet, and Luna had told their mates, who thought it was all in their heads, so the girls had no
choice but to tell Jace and Alexander.
Jace and Alexander were convinced that the girls were telling the truth because Alexander had felt the
same way when he was with Luna.
“I honestly believe someone is following us,” Juliet said, as Ronin sighed and stared at his mate,
unsure whether he should believe her or not.
Alyssa spoke "I felt this energy around me as if I couldn't breathe," as she looked directly into Loukas's
eyes, who was attentively listening.
“I felt trapped, and it irritated me,” Luna said, clicking her tongue.
“It could be your imagination,” Loukas said, making Luna, Alyssa, and Juliet frown.
“I don't think it's their imagination, Lou.” Jace spoke as he looked at his cousins whose eyes widened
as they saw how Jace took Alyssa, Luna, and Juliet's side.
“I'm sorry, Jace, but this time I'm with Lou and Ron because I'm feeling nothing as well.” Draco spoke
as he stared at Jace when Alexander spoke up "Brother Draco, I agree with Jace, they felt it, so it must
be real," as Draco's eyes widened in surprise.
“Did you sense it?” Loukas said, and Alexander replied, "Yes, I did." while Draco tried to process
everything.
“When did you first notice this?” Ronin inquired curiously as Alexander glanced at Jace, who nodded
his head.
Alexander stammered out his words. “I-I… I felt this same energy that I am felt yesterday but it's lesser
compared to before when I first mated with Jace and the time when I first fell from the stairs and was
admitted to the hospital and lost everything." As he answered the question Ronin asked him.
“And you're telling us this now?” Loukas spoke sternly as Jace sighed, saying, "Look Lou, right now
isn't the time to be lecturing Alex because he did nothing wrong."
Draco glared at Jace as he spoke, "We could have helped him and you" while Jace shook his head in
disagreement.
“What help? You don't even believe your mates, so why would you believe what I said?” Jace spoke up
as Draco stared at his cousin in disbelief.
“You've got to be kidding me, Jace, I'm your best friend, you should've told me.” Draco spoke while
Jace shook his head and asked, "And what would you do?" You don’t even believe us? Would you
believe us if we did tell you? Yeah, I'm guessing that's your response would be the same as now.”
Draco had no idea what to say because Jace was correct, so he remained silent for the time being.
“Look, girls, you need to ignore and move on because it could just be your thoughts.” The girls sighed
as Loukas spoke, knowing full well that no one believed them except Jace and Alexander.
“It was all true, Lou.” Alyssa spoke as she stared at Loukas, who responded, "Your imagination, babe,"
as he rubbed his irritated face.
Alyssa said, "It's not my imagination," as she stared at Loukas, who groaned, unsure what to do.
“How come you don't believe them?” Draco replied angrily, "Because we aren't feeling anything," as he
stared at Jace.
Luna spoke up. “Your feelings aren't required," as she glared at Draco, who sadly looked at Luna.
“What exactly do you mean by that?” Ronin questioned seeing his brother sad, to which Jace replied,
"They are in danger, whoever is doing this wants to hurt them, not you," as Ronin sighed, unsure which
side to take.
“If they want to harm them, why is Alexander feeling the same energy?” Loukas inquired, concerned,
as Alexander responded, "Because I stay with the girls, and secondly, they want to kill me as well," to
which Loukas hummed understandingly.
“So, you're trying to say that you're in the situation as our mates?” Draco was concerned because he
adored Alexander as if he were his younger brother.
“I might be in trouble, but my mate believes me, so I am confident I will be safe, but Luna, Alyssa, and
Juliet are in trouble because you three don't believe them,” Alexander said as he smiled at Draco, who
sadly returned his smile.
“Okay, so we supposedly believe them, so what do we look for? The energy that we can't even feel?”
Ronin inquired as Jace groaned and rubbed his face.
Jace had no idea how difficult it would be to persuade his cousins that their ex-girlfriends were behind
this and to top it all off, Jace hadn't even mentioned Sam, Amy, or Kim's names because he knew his
cousins would never agree if their ex-girlfriends were mentioned.
“You are vampires, and you are connected with your mates, so you can feel their energy more than we
can, so you try to look who is doing this by being with your mates and feeling what they are feeling,”
Jace said, staring at Loukas, Draco, and Ronin as they nodded.
Alexander stood up, his hand on top of Draco's, and smiled at Loukas and Ronin.
“When you guys rescued me, I was afraid to open up to you all, and I was even afraid to talk to you
guys. I ran away from everyone and everything using every chance I got, but you all sat next to me and
taught me what family means, and you three made me believe in Jace,” Alexander said as he smiled at
Draco, who nodded.
Loukas ruffled Alexander's hair as he said, "It was and still is our duty to keep you safe," making
Alexander smile.
“Yes, but I no longer require your protection. I am protected by Jace, and I love him, but the people who
need your protection right now are Alyssa, Juliet, and Luna,” Alexander said, staring at Loukas, who
nodded.
“We want to keep them safe, but from whom?” Draco questioned trying to believe Jace and Alexander
since he knew they had always cared for him.
“From the one behind all of this, so focus on them and feel the energy,” Jace said as Draco nodded his
head and tried to focus.
“I can't, and I don't want to, because I don't believe in any of this.” Loukas spoke sternly, his gaze fixed
on Draco, who was struggling to concentrate.
Draco murmured, "I tried and failed, so I don't think anything is wrong." As he looked at Alexander all
worried.
“I'm not sure because I want to believe but it's difficult.” Ronin said unsure of everything as Jace sighed
annoyed at Loukas.
“It was all true. I felt these eyes on me back in my world before mating and right now as well,” Luna
said, hoping the boys would believe her, but Ronin and Loukas just sighed.
“Moon, it's all in your head. We looked around, but there was no one,” Draco said as Luna stood up
angrily.
“You never believe me anyway, so if something happens, don't come and apologize because I won't
forgive you,” Luna said sternly as she exited the room, causing Draco to sigh.
Alyssa stood up and walked back to her room, while Loukas clicked his tongue, unsure what to do or
say because he believed Draco was correct.
“Guys, Alyssa, Juliet, and Luna are telling the truth,” Alexander said who shook his head.
“It's all in their heads,” Loukas said as Juliet stood up angrily, yelling, “IN OUR HEAD? IF SOMETHING
HAPPENS TO US, WE WILL BLAME YOU, AND I WILL KILL YOU,” as Ronin grabbed her hand.
“The girls are correct, so believe them for a moment and you will feel the energy as well.” as Jace tried
to persuade, Loukas and Draco shook their heads in disagreement.
“YOU ALL ARE IDIOTS!” Juliet yelled as she yanked her hand away glaring at Ronin.
Juliet hoped Ronin, Draco and Loukas would agree, but they didn't, which irritated her even more.
Juliet said, "I'm so done with you guys," as she walked out of the hall towards her room with Ronin
following behind.
“Oh, come on princess,” Ronin said as he turned Juliet around and hugged her.
Juliet pushed Ronin as she huffed and turned around to walk back to her room, Ronin following her.
When Ronin entered the room and saw Juliet sitting on the bed, he sighed and sat next to her.
“Oh, come on, my lovely mate, what do I have to do to make you smile once again?” Ronin laughed as
he cupped Juliet's cheek, who sighed and shook her head.
Juliet spoke up. “Believe my sisters and me. 7 months ago, you believed in me and agreed that your
ex-girlfriend was after us, so what changed your mind?” she asked, holding Ronin's hand.
“I want to believe you, Babe, but I can't see or feel anything, so what should I believe in?” Ronin
inquired, and Juliet replied, "Believe me, and you will feel it as well," making Ronin smile.
“I always believe you,” Ronin said as he pecked Juliet's forehead while she sighed and rested her head
on Ronin's shoulder.
Juliet took a deep breath as she relaxed in Ronin's embrace.
“You have no idea how I felt when I felt those terrifying stares on me,” Juliet said as she sniffed, trying
hard not to cry.
“It must have been difficult,” Ronin said as Juliet pulled away from him, a sad smile on her face.
Juliet said, “It was very scary, I tried to run away and did everything I could to escape but wherever I
went, I felt those terrifying eyes on me.” Ronin felt bad for not being there for Juliet.
“I apologize for not being around to make you feel safe.” Juliet shook her head and replied, "You were
around many times but that person didn't flinch as if they knew you aren't scared or believe I am getting
hurt."
Ronin hummed as he spoke, "Whoever this person is they know us quite well," as he considered what
to do next to apprehend the person and keep Juliet safe.
Juliet stood up and walked towards the balcony, smiling and staring outside enjoying the beautiful sky.
“They know us and aren't afraid of you because I felt the stare when we were asleep as well,” Juliet
said as she turned around and glanced at Ronin, who was standing with his eyes widened in shock.
“WHAT THE HELL?!” exclaimed Ronin. “ARE YOU TELLING THE TRUTH?” He gently grabbed Juliet's
arms and stared into her eyes, hoping she was lying, but he could tell she wasn't.
“Yes Ronin, I woke up scared because I felt someone staring at me, so I hid under the blanket and
hugged you,” Juliet explained, as Ronin remembered this happening before and how many times, he
woke up to find Juliet crying, so he assumed it was a nightmare. NôvelDrama.Org exclusive content.
"I'm so sorry," Ronin said. As he hugged Juliet and kissed her neck, he said, "I believe you and I will
not let that person get away this easily."
“Be safe and don't get hurt,” Juliet said as Ronin made Juliet sit on the bed, terrified because he now
knew and believed Juliet had been telling the truth the entire time.
“I will kill that bastard who made you feel unsafe,” Ronin raged. As he held Juliet's hand, he said, "I will
kill them and give them the worst punishment because I am the King of the South and it is my
responsibility to keep you safe."
Juliet said, "I love you so much, Ronin, and thank you," to which Ronin replied, "I love you, even more,
my princess," while kissing her knuckles.
When there was a knock on their bedroom door, Ronin let go of Juliet's hand and groaned.
“Who is it?” Ronin inquired as there was no response as he sighed and walked towards the door,
opening it to find no one as he shrugged his shoulders.
Juliet inquired, "there is no one?" Ronin shook his head and replied, "Perhaps a butler knocked on the
door and walked away because he was called up by someone."
“However, why would he go without informing us?” Juliet inquired, and Ronin shrugged his shoulders
when he noticed Juliet's eyes widened.
“RONIN, WATCH OUT!” Juliet yelled as Ronin felt something hit his head very hard as he fell on the
floor as everything began to blur and the last thing, he saw was Juliet yelling while someone took her
away from the balcony as everything became dark for him.
