Chapter 739: Easy Prey

That night, Kyle had stayed back in the forest. Not in Sacred Park but in the thick forest covering the hills behind the northernmost part of the campus. He wanted that quiet and stillness that could not be afforded to him if he was back in his dorms.

Kyle had crossed the campus' perimeter fencing so he could freely run and hunt in the hills. He was so goddamned frustrated. He hated that Luna had given her number to that damn guy. No, he was actually angry as well and he hated that he was feeling like this towards a girl... a girl that he had just met and a girl that was not even his.

This was what made him even angrier, the mere emotions she was stirring up within him was just ridiculous. Does this mean he already have such deep feelings for Luna? Already? How did that even happen?! Was such a thing even possible? Or did he just plain gotten mad overnight?

He could not help but laugh at himself. This was just too much for him. Judging from his reactions right now, Kyle felt that if he sees Luna with another guy again, he might actually go nuts and do something that he was not supposed to do. He was already behaving like a psycho jealous boyfriend. Wait... he was not even her boyfriend! So would he be considered a stalker then?!

What happened a while ago was something not worthy to be this jealous of and he was already behaving so irrationally like this. What will happen if she starts dating a guy and...

Kyle banged his head on a tree trunk to wake himself up. He never would have thought that he was going to go through something like this. Right now, Kyle realised that it seems as though he did not have that much of a control over his own emotions. In the past months, his brother had trained him how to grow stronger physically and at the same time, to control his powers. And within months, he had perfectly achieved the high standard that his brother had set for him. He thought that after his brother's insane training, nothing could overwhelm him anymore. But how wrong he was...

Now, just fast forward a few months ahead, here he was, overwhelmed and almost in a complete mess just because of a mere girl. He had even broken one of his brother's rules already and it was not even a week into the schooling term yet!

Kyle wanted to hit himself and stop behaving like this. He knew that this was just not normal. His every reaction towards that girl was an abnormality and he refused to just accept it as a crush. He would not and he could not do it. If he allowed this to continue on and ends up pursuing her, his brother will definitely find out. And he did not even need to think as he was sure that his brother would not be happy about it.

Luna was a human for goodness' sakes, and he would never want another forbidden love, ever. Going through it once was more than enough.

After another hour of trying to come to terms with himself, Kyle finally calmed down.

His grey eyes were now steely and focused, not filled with too many emotions anymore. He jumped across the tall metal fence and entered the campus, walking leisurely as he pushed his hands deep inside his pockets.

Now he needs to think of another alibi for his nosy roommates once he returns to his dorm. That was quite easy thing to do as his roommates believed that he was just out somewhere fooling around with the girls who were literally throwing themselves at him that they did not even ask where he came back from anymore, aside from throwing him a knowing glance. If only his roommates knew that he was actually fooling around with the trees and deer in the forest.

As he was about to step out from the forest, his phone vibrated inside his pocket.

He opened the message app and read the new text with a flat expression.

'Hi Vincent, what are you doing? I'm bored. My roommate had disappeared again and is still not coming back. I'm a bit scared being here all by myself.' The sender was obviously Agnes.

Kyle immediately frowned. He looked down at his wristwatch and saw that it was already past the curfew for students to be out from their dorms.

His eyes narrowed as his grip on his phone hardened. Then Agnes messaged him again, and Kyle hoped that she would tell him that Luna was finally back.

'I thought that girl's innocent because she was so quiet. Turns out that I am wrong. Maybe she's with Riego right now. That Riego seems to really like her. Maybe because Luna looks like the quiet and innocent type. You know... an easy prey.'

Kyle hurled his phone on the grass before he could lose control and crush it. Even then, it bounced a few times on the ground and landed a few feet away from him. He cursed and raked his hand through his hair. The message Agnes just sent made him imagine and what came to his mind suddenly turned everything inside him into chaos.

After taking a few deep breaths, Kyle picked his phone up again.

'She's not back yet?' he texted back and when Agnes replied 'no', his heart shivered a little.

'Why don't you call her? You definitely have her number, right?'

'She's not picking up. How about you come over and let's go look for her? I'm a bit worried.'

Kyle tugged at his hair, but it did not even take a minute of contemplating and he quickly texted back his agreement. 'Alright, stay there. Wait for my message.'

Upon sending his message, Kyle hastily rushed over towards the Sacred Park.. His mind was yelling at him, but he knew he could never ignore this. It might drive him insane if something really had happened to her!
