Fated

15.

Weeks passed in a blur. The Academy was peaceful but the boys were worried and alert. These weeks, five new students joined the Academy.

Other students didn't budge about who they were and where they came from. They blindly accepted what these new students claimed where they came from. But that's not the case in Adriel and his gang.

They have different questions in their minds. Why did these five suddenly appear? Are they enemies as well? What boggles them more is that other people were seeing them with different faces. To them, these five look like nerds with thick glasses and some even have crooked teeth.

But, Adriel, Davin, and the rest of the boys, see how they are supposed to look in reality— five handsome men.

Right now, they are on lunch break. The future leaders of Hilfatrei are observing the new five students who are busy eating.

"I feel something odd with those five," Noa said.

"I know, right? I mean, they suddenly came here," Ryder agreed.

"They said they belong to our clans..." said Kai.

"But we never saw them," Carson said.

The said five glanced their way and smiled at them before continuing their lunch.

"I want to squeeze them," Ryder gritted his teeth.

"Why? Because they are more handsome than you?" Davin teased.

That made Ryder gaped at him. Meanwhile, at the five's table...

"Their stares will bore holes in our heads soon," Jake said.

"Then stop looking at them," Kris said.

Before Jake could reply, they heard a bang. It was Noa. He banged the table and marched towards them. Carson is trying to stop him but his fated one is stubborn, so they just follow him.

The six of them are standing—towering over the five new faces. The students are whispering about what's about to happen.

"Is there something you need?" Eindriel asked.

"Come with us," Noa said.

The five glanced at each other and then shrugged.

"About time," Levi mumbled.

"What did you say?" It was Ryder who asked.

"Where to?" Eindriel intervened.

All of them are on the rooftop now, facing each other.

"Who are you?" Davin asked.

"Didn't we introduce ourselves earlier? I'm Jasper, they are Phuwin, Pond, Fourth, and lastly, Gemini," Jake introduced them with their fake names.

"You know we don't buy that," Kai said.

Jake stepped in front of Kai, trying to intimidate him. "We're not vendors," he said crossing his arms on his chest.

His action would ignite a fight, but before they ended in a blood bath, Kris smacked his head making the four future leaders surprised.

"Au, why?" He whined at Kris.

"Are you trying to create a feud between us when we come here to aid them?" Kris uttered.

The four glanced at each other. "You said what?" Adriel finally spoke.

The five glanced at each other and smiled. Levi turned to Eindriel, "Will you do the honor of introducing us properly, Your Highness?"

They all looked at him. Eindriel glanced at his mate, Wyndall. Yes, they include his mate in the mission but with the guardians' permission. Wyndall smiled at him and he nodded as he moved to the front.
