Chapter 1

She was in her own little world reading her favourite book. She would read it over and over again and no matter how many times she read, she would never get herself to grow tired of it.

Hours went by and she was completely unaware of it. She was seated at the corner of the room. Her table was small and comfortable, fitted for one person.

When she entered the library, she spotted this little space and thought it suited to her taste perfectly. She never really liked a noisy environment and so the silence in the room brought her peace. It was soothing and calm she thought.

However, the whispers around her brought her back to reality.

As she looked up, she saw unfamiliar gazes on her. She felt a cold chilly vibe in the air all of a sudden under their negative scrutiny.

She whimpered and wished she could bury herself deep into the ground. She definitely did not like this. She hated being put in the spotlight.

She jumped out of her reverie when she heard something beeping. It was her phone. This is weird she thought. She definitely did switch off her phone before she entered the library. No wonder the people were disturbed, hence their judgemental looks.

Strange noises started coming from the reception then.

It looked like a party of goons were causing havoc in the next room. Books were being pushed off the shelves ruthlessly while some being torn and damaged in the process. It looked like they were looking for trouble or rather someone.

They stepped into the other room damaging the properties as they went in.

Upon entering, one of the goons pointed out to his lord, "there she is."

Everybody's attention was on them now especially at their so-called lord. The guys in the room were in awe at the sight before them while the girls were drooling over him.

This so-called lord had a very mysterious air around him which made one shiver. But he was beautiful to look at. He had a very defined feature, his eyes like those of a feline cat were green in colour which made it even more unique, his jaw line sharp as a razor blade and his nose as perfect as it could be. It seemed as if it was carved out by the best sculptor in the world.

This crazy pair of eyes could trap any soul it wanted. It was difficult to avert one's gaze upon locking eyes with him.His presence itself illuminated the entire room.

He strode his way to her table majestically.

"Theo..." she whispered.

He heaved a heavy sigh before saying "Winter...don't leave without my permission next time" as he gazed down at her.

One of the goons then dragged a chair beside her for his lord to sit down.

"Winter…"

"Don't pull this kind of act again, do you know how worried I was?"

Theodore fisted his hands and clenched his teeth.

"I nearly tore down the entire stre....." he paused seeing his actions were starting to frighten her.
