Dymitri Villacroixe

After King gestured me in his walk-in closet after I finished my bath, he pointed to the corner of the room and my jaw fell agape seeing how many paper bags of branded and expensive clothes he bought to me.

Tugging my bathrobe with my little hands, I spun to look at him.

"H-how could you b-buy me t-t-those things?" I asked in pure horror.

"Those things cost a fortune! I can't p-pay you back." I stuttered.

"Who told you that you'll pay me back?" He asked cocking his thick eyebrow at me.

I gulped.

"B-but they are expe---"

"If you don't like them, then you leave no choice but to be naked." He said in a stern voice and I immediately clamped shut my mouth.

"It's either you'll walk naked outside or wear what's inside of those bags." He said and I nodded silently.

"Now, get dress. Or I'll dress you myself?" He said grinning and I frowned.

"No thanks." I sheepishly said and had the guts to push him away.

He chuckled and walked outside until I closed it shut and locked. I trotted my way into the corner and began to rummage what's the contents of those bags.

A moment later, I became more conscious at my state as I looked at the prices tagged in each clothes and gasped. It costs more than my half year allowance and I am on the edge to not wear this kind of stuffs. I was not born to wear these kind of luxury although he chose simple designs and plain shirts.

In the end, I ignored my arguments with myself and wore what's the cheapest clothes he bought for me. I went to the full length mirror and took a hair brush to brush my gray locks that dropping all over my nose. I brushed back and fixed my hair. God I have to buy some hair clips to tuck my hair and not bother me by dropping all over my face to cover.

When I am all finished, I exited the room and welcomed by a handsome and sexy King waiting outside of the door. He wore gray sweaters and tight jeans and his hair was tousled in a sexy way. His gray eyes were piercing into mine so I blushed and averted my gaze away from him.

I can feel his stare in my body. I'm wearing a coffee turtle neck and skinny jeans.

"S-staring is rude y-you know." I mumbled and I bet he heard it clearly because he smirked.

"Sorry but I can't help but to admire your body." He said in a husky voice and I felt my stomach tingled.

"Let's go before I did something I regret." He declared and pulled me closer to him by wrapping his arm around my fragile waist.

As soon as my body was pressed into his, my nose was indulged by his heavy heavenly masculine scent, lingering and infiltrating my lungs as I subconsciously took a deep whiff of his scent. I don't know but I felt at ease and safe and comfortable too.

We walked outside, greeted by his fellow Alphas but what shook me in surprise is the way his Alphas greeted me like I'm in their house too.

I just awkwardly greeted them back and smiled. I can feel their stares boring at mine but not in pure hatred or anger but admiration and respect?

As soon as we arrived at the hospital wing, we were greeted by a few nurses and the only doctor in their desk. Few students are still lying in their corresponding hospital bed. Some were awake and some were still unconscious due to yesterday's events.

King escorted me until we arrived in front of Khalil's room, he opened it and gestured me to walked inside and I obliged until he followed suit and locked the door behind.

I immediately saw Khalil already awake while he sat at his bed, talking to Skye who happens sitting beside him. Taylor was nowhere to sight but Prince and Ace were already inside, sitting in the couch minding their own business.

As soon Khalil saw me, he flashes a smile and I gratefully reciprocated the smile. I manage to jog all over to them and hugged my friend tight.

"Are you okay now Khalil?" I asked as soon we withdrew from the hug.

"Never been better." He smiled.

I turned to the other members of the Triple Crown who's seems looking at us.

"Morning." I greeted them shyly and they smiled while King heads towards them and sat in the leather couch, crossing his legs.

"Morning little one." Ace greeted back.

"Did you already ate?" I asked.

"Yeah, we had breakfast before we came here." Kieffer was the one who answered me.

"Wait a sec, where did the two of you slept?"

"We both slept here." Ace replied with a wolfish grin and I saw in my peripheral vision that Skye rolled his eyes heavenwards.

"You won't believe that they slept on the floor don't you?" Skye interjected and Khalil giggled.

Okay, what's going on here? Did I missed something?

"It because you won't give us the couch." Ace scoffed.

"And who offered your help guarding Khalil again? I far as I remembered, the two of you offered to look us out in case some freaks would popped out again out of nowhere." Skye sassed.

"Fine, whatever." Ace rolled his eyes and I and Khalil giggled while Kieffer snickered beside Ace.

As if we were watching an old couple bantering each other.

Our attentions snapped in the doors when it opened revealing Taylor and the one who called us here today, Headmistress Demonise.

"Good morning guys." She greeted and we smiled greeting in chorus,

"Good morning Headmistress."

The two approached us and smiled gently at us.

"I'm so sorry for what happened yesterday, the ceremony for finding clues was taken in our meeting place until Wrath barged in and ambushed us." She said in a sad tone.

"The Omegas who happened lost their dormitories was in our temporary shelter located at the back of the Professors Dormitories." She added.

"Why did you call us here Headmistress?" King asked in a serious tone.

"Now that we found out that Khalil was the next Saint that could save us from the Shadow Master's hands, he will be under in a special class and training together with all of you." She announced and the room felt silent.

"W-well train too?" I asked.

"Yes dear, and to add something up, there's another reason why I called you here and it's all about the clues we found out yesterday." She added.

She waved her perfectly manicured hand and a faint light appeared above us, moving pictures began to flash visibly.

"Those clues had something to dealt with the two other candidates for the Selection although two other candidates are here with us today." And the room felt eeriely silent.

"What do you mean? Two other candidates are here with us?" Kieffer asked in disbelief.

"Yes Kieffer. You're right."

"Who are they?" Taylor was the one who asked now.

The images above began to float until an image of a golden gate with delicate carved design appeared.

"The Gatekeeper was no longer than," she paused until our jaws fell agape seeing a picture of my friend flashed in the lights.

"Skye Sanderson." She hummed.

"And for the God," she said and another image flashes in the screen. An image of a black glass hour with purple sand inside of it, decorated by ancient flower in each pillar supporting the glass.

"Dymitri Villacroixe." She spoke and my image was soon flashed in the light.

My throat felt dry, seeing my picture above made me feel nauseous.

How could I be the next God?!

"I know all of you are shocked but I can't help it. The deities above and the Crystal Heart chose you for a reason. They found courage, bravery and strength in you guys as well as your wise judgement and cunning behavior." She smiled gently.

"One more reason was I want you, especially the three of you." Headmistress pointed at the Triple Crown at the couch.

"To protect them, I will assign each of you to be their guard for the time being. You McKnight will on Dela Torre's side while Sanderson will be guarded by Salvatore. And that leaves Villacroixe in Coltrane's hands okay?" She announced and we gasped.

It cannot be!

"I'm expecting all of you two days from now, now that's Khalil is already awake and healed up, come find me in the Secret Garden so that we can start to train you all up. And I must warn you, the Shadow Master is up to no good, we should prepare and maybe, he'll declare a war soon." Headmistress announced with a sad smile in his lips.

We looked at her in concern, it's sure that this days, we'll never know if when will the Sins and Joker came back and attack us.

"Okay, I'll leave you now and guys?" She said gaining our attention to her.

"Whatever mistakes you commit to each other, I must say it will lead you to nothing. You have to learn to accept and forgive." She said and smiled gently.

The room fell silent, and I know she's pertaining to Kieffer, Exequile, Khalil and Skye. She snapped her fingers and vanished into thin air. We are left there, all awkward.

"Uhm, I'll go find Bridget and the others." I muttered and scurried my way into the door and ran away.

I found myself in front of the Hospital Wing, cold breeze of wind began to blow and made me inhaled the fresh air. After what happened yesterday, I didn't met Bridget and the others yet. Taylor said that they came yesterday after me and King went to his headquarters.

I was about to walk away when a shard of broken mirror flew to me and it manage to cut my sleeve in my arm, making my skin to cut also and red thick liquid began to gush out. When I spun around, I saw a girl in her short skirts, black tube and a black jacket coat. She was glaring at me and threw another shard until I dodge it.

"Hey bitch. Did you enjoy my boyfriend's dick?" She sneered walking towards me.

"I didn't knew your gay and plus, my boyfriend like to stick his dick in ass." She spat.

"What do you want?" I asked.

"I want you to go away from my boyfriend fag."

"I can do that you know but he wouldn't let me." I replied.

"Really? Then try harder bitch!" She screamed and I winced.

"What's wrong with you? I didn't do wrong to you!"

"You stole my boyfriend away from me--"

"I didn't stole him in the first place, besides, is he yours?" I replied getting annoyed.

"How dare you talk to me like that?! He's mine!"

"Well, sorry. I didn't saw any name of yours, stating your claim at his body." I frowned when she manipulated her powers and shards of glasses flung towards me.

I casted my own and enveloped myself in my barrier making her attack deflect back at her, some cutting her skin.

"You piece of garbage! It took so much for me just to maintain my skin but you ruined it!" She screeched.

Before he could do anything, I controlled my powers and manipulate her body and stopped her time. She went immobilized for a moment when a faint purple light outlined her whole body.

"That's amazing Demi!" My head snapped at a certain and saw pairs of eyes and mischievous grins plastered in their faces.

"Being born with the ability to manipulate and control time is really beneficial. Now, I'm jealous." Bridget muttered as she and the gang walked towards my direction.

"Chronokinesis is sure beneficial especially to its owner." Carl snickered and scratched the tip of his nose.

"What are you doing here?" I asked.

"Of course we would like to visit Khalil, and to see you." Riley was the one who answered.

"And we want to know what happened to you and King last night. So, did you sex until morning?!" Bridget squealed and I grew panic.

What? Sex? With King?

"N-no! What are you talking about?"

"Duh, the whole academy knows that King offered you to stay at his place." She said.

"And the thing is, its weird."

"How can you say its weird?" I questioned her.

"You know, King indeed is a horny bastard but the thing is, he didn't let anyone go inside in his room neither Ace and Prince. So what did you do last night?" She asked me with a cocky grin.

"I just slept in h-his bed. That's all."

"King let you sleep in his bed?!" They all gasped in shock.

"W-why? Is that bad?"

"No, Demi. Actually it's really weird. Even King did one night stands, he won't let anyone sleep in his bed. They can't even go inside in his room." Aliza replies with amusement in her eyes.

"Tell us what more happened to the two of you last night!" Bridget squealed in delight clapping her hands together.

Should I tell them King's confession?

"N-no. I don't want to talk about it."

"Why?" Bridget whined.

"I'm going." I said but immediately stopped when I heard Carl.

"How about this slut?" He asked pointing at Trinity who's still not moving.

"Just leave her there. I'll cast out my powers soon." I said. After all, I only stopper her time from ticking temporarily. I don't want anyone to die you know.

They grinned and I waved goodbye as I trotted my way. Actually, I lied to King and the others. I'm not going to find them because I want to go to a certain place and tried something.

As I reached my destination, I looked at the remaining ashes and residues of what Joker did to our dormitories. It was sealed by a certain magic made by some of our professors to prevent students getting in and cursed.

I focused myself and raised my palms, aiming to the remains of the building until I felt my powers surge deep inside. My eyes lit up and then, the ashes and few debris began to float around.

If I could bring back the time where these dormitories are still standing in their place, I would be able to save some of our stuffs.

As the ashes whirl around, I focused more to bring back the building but soon, it immediately poofed and I stumble backwards.

I panted, disappointed at myself because I still haven't learned how to control fully my powers.

"I see you trying something we don't know." My head snapped back when I saw King standing there, staring straight at me.

"K-king."

"That's why I like you because your different from the others." He said walking towards me.

"Your powers are a huge mystery, your indeed skillful and powerful but no one knows what kind of power do you possess. Well, except for your friends and family." He added stopping in front of me. He placed his warm hand in my face, cupping it as he lifted my face to see him.

"You're strong Kitten, your just not able to learn your powers fast so don't be disappointed at yourself. We learn at our own time." He muttered brushing his thumb into my face and I leaned closer.

I don't why but I like his presence when he's with me. I feel safe and protected.

"D-do you really want to know what abilities do I possessed?" I asked him and he just stared at me, surprised.

"You don't have to do it--"

"Do you trust me King?" I asked and caught him off guard.

"Because me, I trust you even when we know each other for a short period of time." I said truthfully.

"I don't know why and what's the reason that I felt safe and protected everytime I'm with you. I feel some sparks whenever our skins touched, I feel butterflies in my stomach everytime you're with me." I added looking straight to his icy gray eyes.

"Maybe I like you?" I asked and looked away.

I heard him chuckled and he moved my face to look at him again.

"The deities above knows how much I want you Kitten." He smiled and I subconsciously smiled.

"I like you Kitten, and I really do. I don't care if they call us gay or something but I like you. And I'll murder anyone who'll touch or hurt you. I swear." He growled.

"So, do you really want to know what kind of powers I have?" I asked again to ease the tension coming from him after he growled his claim at me.

"If you won't mind Kitten, I would like to." He said and gently smiled.

I lifted my hands just exact at my chest's height and he stepped backwards. I magic circle appeared in his palm, glowing in black and faint purple light. There's also signs, and mythical carvings inside of it and what King's attention caught is the image at the center of it. He can audibly hear the ticking sound coming from the clock, numbers 1 to 12 written in Roman numerals, hands of the clocks were made with black crystals with violet ones.

"I am born with the ability to control and manipulate time King. In other words, I possessed the ability of Chronokinesis." I admitted and he watched me in shocked. I was worried at first because I know, this type of ability is rare to anyone else and they might scared at me, which what happened to me in my previous school.

"You're special Kitten," he said and I looked at him.

"I can feel your negative thoughts swirling around your mind. Don't be, you're special." He said and I retracted my palms back and he came forward.

"No matter what happens, I'll be in your side. I'll protect you." He said holding my hands into his large ones.

"Just promise me one thing." He said.

"Don't over think again. I'll help you control your abilities. I'll help you, together with your friends. That's a promise." He said, determined.

I softly smiled at him and the next thing I knew, I hugged him. Wrapping my fragile arms around his torso, I buried my face into his chest.

"Thank you." I said gulping his manly and masculine scent. I felt him wrapped his arms around me and he began rubbing my back. We stayed there for a long period of time, maybe? Until he decided that we should go back to his room so I could rest. I looked stressed according to him so I just let him as we teleported back to his headquarters.

We were in his living room, at his room. God, why does his room looked like a condo anyways?

I was about to walk away when he pulled me by my hand, ending up crashing at his hard chest.

"King?"

"I just want you to know that I love you." He said and my heart swelled. I'm serious that I'm blushing right now and he chuckled.

"God, you're so adorably cute." He muttered patting my head like a dog.

"And your lips." He said huskily a she stared down at my lips.

"Those lips are tempting me." He said and I subconsciously licked my lips to moistened it.

"Fuck. Can I kiss you?" He asked. I was hesitant first. He likes me and I like him too, and no one ever liked me before so what about giving him a chance?

"Y-yes." I stuttered and then, his lips crashed into mine. I closed my eyes feeling the euphoric state of mine ate my whole existence. As if I'm in cloud nine. His hand went to my waist pulling me closer while the other is cupping my face. It wasn't rough of something, it's pure gentleness and passionate. I felt shivers in my spine as he swiped his tongue into my bottom lip, seeking for an entrance and I did. He devoured my wet caverns, tasting every inch inside of my mouth until our tongues swirled and danced in our kiss.

"My baby!!! Are you okay---" we immediately pulled away when the door flung open revealing a woman wearing a coat, jeans and sweatshirt.

My eyes widened as he saw our current state right now. Heavily panting, red lips, messy state. Her purple eyes landed on me and then she looked to King until a blush crept into her face.

"Oh my gosh, I must've disturb you. Go along. I'll wait outside. I'll just pretend I didn't saw what happened before I went inside." She said closing shut immediately the door.

I looked at King who's looking at me confused and asking who was that.

"Mama!!!" I yelled.
