My Shapeshifter Mate:Falling for My Cursed Superior

AT MOUNT DELOS, MYSTIC INSTITUTE

The time is 7pm, so it was already dark when Agatha barged out of her room angrily, her eyes beaming several colours as she raged down the wide corridor.

The disciples in the corridor knew better than to be caught on her way, so everyone began stepping aside, and the ones who were chatting in groups stopped their chats to turn their attention to her.

Who pissed her off?

Some steamy fight coming up!

It's sure she's going to Ceres!

As predicted, Agatha got to Ceres's door and pushed it open with her eyes, and her eyes changed colour to deep green as a result.

The opening was so violent that the metal door broke into two, and the two parts fell heavily on the ground.

Agatha stepped on the two as she entered the room, meeting Ceres who was just coming out of the bathroom with just a towel tied to her chest.

"You broke my door again? Agatha!!!!" She yelled, and her eyes changed colour too. Deep green just like Agatha's.

"My white bra is missing from the clothesline. You're the only one who used the clothesline today too. Give back my bra before I make you regret ever stealing!" Agatha demanded, not leaving her spot.

By now, over fifty disciples are by the door, watching the drama that'd soon turn into a steamy battle.

It's not new, Agatha and Ceres are the worst enemies in the institute, and something must surely cause a fight between them every day.

"And what gave you the assurance that I stole it" Ceres smirked.

"I'm the only princess in this institute, so everything I own is bound to catch your attention cos there's no way you can afford that bra! Give it back!" Agatha yelled, her eyes becoming greener.

"You're a princess, I'm not denying that, but this isn't your palace! This is Mystic Institute and so far you're in here, we're all disciples! Stop being so cocky cos your kingdom is not even that wide, stupid girl!" Ceres said spitefully.

"Repeat that" Agatha raged.

"Stupid girl!!!" Ceres yelled, and Agatha walked just three steps to her. She leapt into the air and did a 360 turn before landing a kick on Ceres's face.

Ceres went crashing into the wall, and some of her bones surely broke cos it was impossible when she tried to stand, so she directed her eyes to the broken door.

She lifted it easily, sending it to Agatha, but Agatha dodged it skillfully, and the metal went into the wall.

By now, Ceres already set her broken bones, so she stood and sped to Agatha, grabbing her by the throat sharply.

"Ahh! Let go of me!" Agatha struggled, bleeding from the corner of her mouth.

"You started this" Ceres smirked, and her nails grew long, digging into Agatha's neck.

"Arggggghhh!!!!" Agatha cried.

Raven and Krishna came in at that moment, and Raven's eyes widened.

Raven is Ceres's elder brother while Krishna is his best friend.

"Just leave them, their fight is always fun to watch" Krishna said, crossing his arms calmly on his chest.

"You're insane" Raven muttered and ran to the scene to separate them, but even though Agatha is on chokehold, she released two sharp arrows from her green eyes, and before Raven could dodge, the two penetrated his chest, sending him to the ground unconscious.

"I warned you" Krishna muttered.

"Cat, is he still alive?" He asked, and a small black cat jumped out of his trousers pocket, landing on Raven's chest on the ground.

"Yes, he's still breathing" Cat talked.

"Great" Krishna smiled, and Cat returned to his pocket as he resumed watching the fight.

"How dare you hurt my brother!!!" Ceres yelled angrily.

"What are you gonna do?" Agatha smiled wickedly, and when Ceres made to attack her, Agatha snapped her fingers, and time stopped.

Everyone in the room stopped moving and came to a standstill except her.

"You're dying today, Ceres" she smirked, spreading her palm.

A sharp kitchen knife appeared in her hand, and she raised it to stab Ceres when someone appeared, snatching the knife from her.

Time started running again, and everyone began moving.

"Master!" Agatha's eyes widened when she saw who it was

It's Master Duran, dressed in his black cloak which even covered his head, leaving out some strands of his long hair though.

He's expressionless as usual, and Agatha quickly went on her knees with everyone else at the door.

"Greetings, master!" They chorused.

"How dare you mess with time just to hurt others! You think it's fun?" Master Duran demanded.

"She stole something from me, master" Agatha replied.

"I never stole anything! She's lying!" Ceres shouted, and Peony rushed into the room.

"I'm so sorry Agatha, I mistakenly packed your bra with my clothes" she said, raising the white bra adorned with pearls.

"See? You just needed a reason to fight me as usual, and that's why you came here straight without investigating" Ceres said.

The bell for the practice assembly rang from the ground, and Master Duran folded his arms behind himself.

"To the assembly, everyone except Agatha" he ordered, and everyone rushed out of the room including Raven who was just waking up.

"Go call Orion in his room" Master Duran ordered, and Agatha gasped.

"Superior Orion hates when his privacy is disturbed! He'd hurt me!"

"And that's your punishment for what you just did, you have five minutes to bring him to the assembly or you'd have to spend five minutes in the Beastly Territory" Master Duran replied before vanishing.

TWO MINUTES LATER

Agatha got to Orion's door and took a deep breath, taking a good look at it.

Three things were written on the door with Orion's blood.

DO NOT KNOCK

DO NOT COME IN

NO NOISE AROUND

She swallowed before raising her shaky hand to the door.

She'd just do it and receive punishment from Orion himself cos spending five minutes in the Beastly Territory is a death sentence.

After her third knock, no sound came from the room, so she slowly pushed the door open, and there was nothing but darkness in the room as usual.

The lights aren't on, Orion hates brightness.

"Super..ior... Orion, your attention is...

She was still talking when the lights came on suddenly.

"AHHHHHHHHH!!!!" She screamed, falling fearfully on her butt.

The room is empty, he's not in.

ON THE STREETS OF DELOS

The moon isn't out tonight, so it's just the best night for Orion's outing.

He hates the moon, the fact that it produces brightness is annoying, so any night there's a moon in the sky, he'd rather not come out.

Despite the fact that there's no moon, the streets are bright with different lights though, and people are jolting around.

Orion could be seen in front of a house, and immediately he halted, all the lights in the house went off, and he closed his always red eyes, relishing in the darkness.

His two hands were folded behind him just like his father's, and on the back of his left hand is the mark he was born with. Three red stars.

Dark flames surrounded him for a minute, and immediately they disappeared, he continued his walk alone down the street.

A lady suddenly came running, and she was so invested in where she was going, so much that she bumped into him.

Immediately their bodies collided, and she fell on the ground, DEAD.

Orion stopped walking and glanced at her body on the ground with his red eyes.

"Pathetic" his emotionless voice said, and a dog began barking at a distance.

For him, dog barking at a distance means someone is in danger and needs his help, but he's so not ready for that tonight.

He resumed his walk, but the barking came again, penetrating deep into his ear.

"Help me!" The faint voice of a lady came, and he stopped walking.

He vanished and reappeared in an alley, he saw a girl who was about to be raped by three guys.

"Who's this?" The one who looks like their leader said.

Orion looked at the crying girl who was almost naked before looking at the leader.

"His father is the wealthiest Honourable in this city, so it's better you pretend like you didn't see us, or would you rather join us?" The second one said.

"He's glaring like he'd cut off your head" the third one laughed.

"Cut off? I'm the son of Honourable Mazi, I bet no one can try to hurt me" The leader grinned, and Orion spread his left palm forward.

His red sword appeared on it, and he sliced off the head of the leader without thinking.

"Argghhhhh!!!!!!!!!!!!!" The other two screamed, running off immediately.

The girl stood and took to her heels too.

Orion's sword returned into his body, then he picked up the fallen head and vanished.

The next place he reappeared was the Honourable's house.

He's in bed, having fun with his wife when Orion appeared in his room.

"Who the hell!-ahhhhh!!!!" The Honourable and his wife screamed at once

Orion dropped the son's head on the bed, and the wife fainted.

"Monster!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!" Honourable screamed.

Orion vanished.

SPAIN, HERCULES VILLA

Samara was rapping loudly, dancing wildly in just her white towel as she entered the bathroom

Even after unwrapping her towel from her body, she still continued singing loudly, whining nakedly under the shower.

She was breathing heavily when she stopped singing, and she smiled knowingly before spreading her palm.

A hairpin from her room appeared on it, and she sank it into her palm immediately, hurting herself with it

"Oops!" She hissed, but she only had to wait one second, because the wound healed immediately.

"Whoa!!! Real hard girl shit!!!" She screamed.

She gets overjoyed like this anytime she uses her powers.

She has been this way since birth, just like her mother, but she hasn't learnt the use of her powers yet, and that's why it's only effective in the bathroom for now.

"Yes!!!! Yes!!!" She jumped around as she finally began showering.

She was done after some minutes, and immediately she left the bathroom, her mum was the first person she saw, waiting by the door.

"You scared me mum!" She held her chest.

"You need Mystic Institute my dear! You have to learn the use of your powers so you'd use them anywhere apart from the bathroom" Mrs. Hercules said, walking behind her.

"I already told you I'm not in! Mystic Institute? Somewhere in a local city where I won't use my phone? What'd happen to me if I don't listen to Megan Thee and Cardi B's songs? What'd happen if I don't go clubbing or outing? I'd die mum!!!" She shouted, removing her head wrap.

Her long white hair fell on her shoulders, making her look more gorgeous.

"This time, I don't need your opinion, you're leaving tonight" Mrs. Hercules said, and her eyes widened.

"What!"

"Pack your things" the woman replied and left the room.

"Mum no!!!!" Samara screamed.

"Daughter yes!!!!" Mrs. Hercules screamed back from outside, and Samara's phone rang on the bed.

She went for it, and she quickly picked when she saw it's Ruthie, her redhead bestie who's a witch like her. Her mum is also friends with Samara's mum.

"Sam! Mum is insisting that I leave for the boring institute tonight!" Ruthie shouted.

"The same thing is happening to me currently! I think they planned it together, let's escape and meet at the soda store" Samara replied.

"Deal, in twenty minutes" Ruthie replied, and Samara hung up.

It only took five minutes for her to dress up hurriedly in a short jean skirt and a sexy net top

She opened her window and got a ready rope from her wardrobe which she tied to her body and the edge.

She jumped down successfully and smiled.

"Mission accomplished!"

She ran out of the villa.

When she got to the soda store in 25 minutes, Ruthie was already waiting, and they stuck hands.

She's wearing the same thing as her, her red hair looking adorable.

"Clubbing?" Samara winked.

"Clubbing!!!" Ruthie replied, and they boarded a taxi which drove them to their favorite clubhouse.

"Whoaaa!!!!!! Booze!!!!" Samara screamed when they came in to meet streams of people dancing.

"Yes!!!! Booze baby!!!" Ruthie screamed too, and they went to the bartender before anything.

"Sidecar with extra shots of Grand Marnier" Samara told him.

"Of course!" The bartender replied, grabbing all kinds of stuff to start mixing their drinks.

He was smiling knowingly as he mixed, and when he was done, he handed them their cups at once.

They took it and had a sip at once, but immediately they did, their eyes started closing.

They couldn't say another word before crashing on the ground, sleeping off.

"Come out please" the bartender said.

Mrs. Hercules came out from a corner with Mrs. Reed, Ruthie's mum.

They have their packed bags with them already, and they exchanged glances.

"Don't miss me too much, Ruthie" Mrs. Reed smiled.

"You need this, Samara" Mrs. Hercules said, and they dropped their bags beside them.

Together, the mothers recited some spells, and the girls vanished.

NEXT MORNING

Samara felt the arms of someone around her when she woke up, and she squinted.

"Mum, when did you enter my room last night?" She muttered sleepily.

"Shut up Sam, I'm sleeping here" Ruthie's voice replied, but her sleepiness didn't make her realize it.

Ruthie hugged her tighter on the bed, and she smiled.

"Mum you smell different, not pomelo anymore, it's baby powder now" she muttered.

"I'm sleeping I said keep it down!" Ruthie replied sleepily too, and that was when she realized...

She sprang up at once, and Ruthie did the same.

Their eyes widened, and they faced each other when they realized they were in a strange room.

They jumped down from the bed at once and rushed to the door, but it won't open.

"The bartender last night!" Samara shouted.

"Have we been kidnapped? Will they sell our organs?" Ruthie's eyes widened, and Samara slumped on the ground.

"My future husband will be lonely for life! What about the three kids I planned to have! My Cardi B and Megan Thee!!! No, I can't die like this!!!" She shouted dramatically, holding her head.

"Hold up, let's try teleporting first" Ruthie pulled her up.

"Are you serious right now? My powers work only in the bathroom!" Samara retorted.

"Then hold my hand and let me try it" Ruthie replied, and Samara held her hand hopefully.

They closed their eyes, and Ruthie whispered some spells for three minutes.

"I'm done, let's open our eyes at the count of three" she said.

"Sure" Samara replied, and after the count, they opened their eyes at once.

They're still there.

"We didn't disappear!!!!!" They screamed at once.

"Will they sell my b**bs too? Brand new, no one has sucked on them before!!!" Samara said dramatically again.

"There's a window!" Ruthie finally noticed, and they ran to it at once, pushing it open.

They peeped out, and a different air blew their red and white hair respectfully, but they saw something.

There's a large board in the middle of hibiscus flowers, and on the board, it was written...

MYSTIC INSTITUTE, HOME OF HIDDEN MYSTERIES. WELCOME.

Their eyes widened madly immediately they read it, and they faced each other slowly.

"No!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!" They both screamed, and the room door opened behind them.

They turned away from the window, facing the door as a really cute girl came in with an equally cute guy.

They still look young, wearing white historic robes.

"Hey, newbies! Welcome to Mystic Institute at Mount Delos!" The guy waved cheerfully.

"It's real, Ruth we're in trouble" Samara muttered, gumming herself to the window.

"How could our mothers do this to us?" Ruthie muttered too.

"You both need to clean up and meet the master and chiefs" the girl said.

"Who are you guys?" Samara asked.

"I'm Echo! The youngest female disciple here" the girl smiled.

"And I'm Merlin, the youngest male" the guy added.

"We are eighteen!" They both chorused, and Ruthie held her forehead.

"Help, this is frustrating already, I wanna leave this place as soon as possible" she muttered.

"Master is waiting with the chiefs already, and you both have to meet the other disciples too, fast" Echo said, and Samara gasped when she remembered something.

"Wait! Clean up? Like, take our baths?"

"Sure" Merlin replied.

"Then take us to our room!" Samara said.

"Room? Roommates aren't allowed here, you both can have your rooms beside each other though" Echo said.

"Whatever! Ok, take us to our rooms!" Ruthie snapped, and they were immediately led out of the room to the disciples' villa.

"Whoa! It's really big" Samara said, surprised.

"As it should. There are over 500 disciples" Merlin replied.

"What!" Ruthie and Samara faced them at once.

"Are you sure it's really an Institute? Not slave trading home or stuff?" Ruthie asked, and Echo laughed.

"Why am I not seeing any discipline though?" Ruthie asked.

"They're all currently at the assembly for their morning practice" Merlin replied.

"Here, your room" Echo pointed when they finally got to the front of a door.

"Thanks" Samara winked.

"And this is yours" Merlin pointed at the next door.

"Sure" Ruthie replied.

"Another disciple will come for you both in ten minutes, so make it fast" Echo said, and they both nodded as she left with Merlin.

Samara and Ruthie rushed into Samara's room immediately, and they located the bathroom fast, luckily.

They got in, and they didn't bother to pull their clothes before putting on the shower, getting under it.

They held hands and closed their eyes as the water poured on them, and Samara began whispering the spell.

At each line she says, the pouring water becomes warmer and warmer, and immediately she said the fifth line of the spell, the water became hot, and they had to run out of the shower

"Damn it! What was that! Why is the water becoming hot?" Samara shouted.

"Were you saying the hotness spell ?" Ruthie asked.

"Listen, I know I'm still an amateur in this crazy supernatural stuff, but our mothers taught us the lines together, and I know what I read" Samara replied.

"Don't get mad, I'm just frustrated" Ruthie said.

"Let's try it one more time" Samara replied, and they returned under the shower.

AT THE PRESTIGE HALL

Prestige Hall is Master Duran's hall of residence, located on top of a cliff at the far end of the Institute.

It's covered in ivy, and it's surrounded by chrysanthemum flowers. The most beautiful of all the halls.

He was meditating silently in his room when the voice of a disciple came from the door.

"Master! The chiefs are here"

He opened his eyes and stood, leaving the room for his open room where the two chiefs were truly waiting.

Chief Water and Chief Feathers are like his assistants.

"Are you both ready to meet the new arrivals?" He asked, taking his seat.

"That's not important right now, Duran. A report came from the city" Chief Water replied.

"What's it about?" Master Duran squinted.

"It's always about one person" Chief Feathers replied, and the black bird on her right shoulder chirped.

"Orion again?" Master Duran stood.

"He wasn't in his room last night when Agatha went for him. He didn't come back throughout the night practice either, " Chief Water said.

"The body of a human lady was found on the streets with the mark of three red stars on her forehead. She obviously collided into him" Chief Feathers said.

"Then he beheaded the only son of Honourable Mazi, he's planning to burn down this institute" Chief Water said, and her bird chirped again.

"Shut up" she ordered, and the bird went low on her shoulder.

"Orion" Master Duran mumbled, turning around on his spot, and almost immediately, Orion appeared in the room.

"Y'all are calling my name too much, is anything the problem?" He said grimly.

"You!!!" Master Duran shouted.

"Oh...the humans? The lady collided with me and was bound to die. It's not my fault that I was cursed with loneliness, and about the unfortunate boy, he deserved it" Orion replied.

"I warned you about going out of this institute didn't I? You're like a death trap and it's impossible not to collide with someone in the always crowded streets of Delos! Three people died the last time you went out Orion, and about the Honourable's son...

"I said he deserves it! And I'm not ready to tell his offence" Orion replied stubbornly.

"Orion, why don't you calm down and let's talk this out" Chief Water held his shoulder.

"You can't keep going like this Orion. Astrid your brother won't be happy up there" Chief Feathers smiled prettily. She's undeniably beautiful.

"I got cursed cos of his death anyway, so I don't care" Orion replied and walked out of the hall.

"Honourable Mazi will be visiting the Institute soon, we have to find a way to calm him down. Orion has to beg on his knees" Chief Water said, and Chief Feathers cackled.

"Water, don't be silly. Orion would rather murder himself than go on his knees" she said.

Master Duran faced them.

"For now, let's focus on the new arrivals"
