The Gifted 7

☆Chapter 16☆

~Jaebeom's Pov~

It's been almost 1 week since the day Sabina was taken by the people that transformed her and I missed her so much to the point that I could barely focus on anything else except for her.

Her friends have been trying to find her, but with no luck whatsoever.

Currently we were all sitting on the rooftop of the school building eating lunch and thinking of new ways to find my missing soulmate.

"Jb,how are you holding up?"

Jessica asked a question I wasn't ready to answer yet and that made me feel like an emotional reck that was ready to explode.

I didn't answer her,instead I stared at all of them for a bit,then got up and left since I wasn't going to eat my lunch anyways.

I haven't had much of an appetite or will to do anything lately and for that I've been criticized a lot by JYP PD-nim, but I couldn't help the feeling of emptiness I had in my heart that hurt more then any kind of injury or wound I've gotten in the past.

I was walking down the stairs of the 2nd floor, without paying much attention to anything or anyone in particular, when I suddenly bumped into someone.

"Sorry!" I said absentmindedly and was about to leave when he spoke:

"It's okay.I'd be the same as you if I lost my mate,Jaebeom."

What he said caught my attention and made me stop on my tracks.

I turned around to face him and when I saw his eyes a cold chill ran down my body.

I couldn't decide if I should leave and get away from him in a hurry or ask him how he knew me,how he knew my mate.

But I wanted to know so I chose to ask him anyway.

"Who are you?How do you know who I am and how the hell do you know Sabina?" I asked in a cold commanding voice.

"The same way I know you of course, by observing and listening into your thoughts."

He said with a smirk and started walking up the stairs I came down from and he continued talking without turning to face me saying:

"You would want to join me on my way to the rooftop again Jaebeom, cause what I have to discuss is really important and you,your friends and Sabina's friends need to be at the same place when I talk."

Without a second thought I decided to follow him.

While we were climbing up the stairs, Annabelle came out of her classroom and the next thing I know is that she's hugging me,while I hear the mysterious man growl and I turn my head to look at him only to realize that his eyes had changed color.

They were almost the same color as Sabina's eyes when she used her powers, though his eyes looked more threatening and he was looking at me with so much hatred.

I gave him a confused look and then I felt him talk on my mind:

"MY MATE!! Get away from my mate, before I lose my cool and rip you to pieces!"

He warned or more like threatened me and to be honest that's what I wanted too.

I wanted Annabelle to stay away from me and I wanted to feel my mates slim arms wrap around me in a tight hug while I hugged her back and inhaled her sweet scent.

I knew he was reading my mind so I said:

"Look man,whoever the hell you are,if you don't calm down right now you'll scare the hell out of her.If you haven't realized your eyes have changed color."

He closed his eyes and in the meantime I moved away from Annabelle saying:

"Annabelle,please don't do that anymore. I've already made it clear that I don't love you,so just respect that and keep your distance."

"I'll keep trying until you realize you love me and not that stupid girl that left school and now god knows where she is and for all I care I hope she never comes back."

She said and I was about to snap at her when the mysterious man whose name I still don't know,intervened saying:

"Well he really must be blind for not loving a beauty like you,but how about you ditch him and become mine, Belle?"

I walked a bit ahead to cool down and to give them some time to introduce themselves,because I don't think I'd be able to bear and see their sweet interactions that made me miss my mate more then I already missed her.

"And who might you be?I've never seen you around here before."Asked Annabelle.

"My name is William and I'm so glad to have finally met you,my Belle."He replied taking her hand in his kissing it.

This guy was making me lose my patience, but before I could say anything he spoke:

"Right now I'm a little bit busy my Belle,but I'll meet you later at the school gates.Until later."

After saying that he winked at Annabelle making her blush.

Well that's a sight I never thought I'd see.

We arrived at the rooftop and as soon as we were in front of the others, the girls got up on their feet and ran towards William surrounding him in a group hug.

I wonder how they know each other or if Sabina knows him and before I could get lost in my own thoughts,I asked:

"Would you all mind explaining us, who he is and how exactly do you girls know him?"

I hope you like it. Until the next chapter I'M 1 OUT 😄.
