• Alpha's Bite: From Victim to Vengeance   95. The Bite That Bound Us

  I finished stacking the last of the empty boxes in the library. I had already unpacked most of the books and only had a few more to put on the shelves. As I carried a small stack of books toward one of the back shelves, I heard a strange noise near the reading area.Was someone there?I stepped closer and was shocked to see Zach sitting at a table reading.What the hell is he doing here again?I turned on my heel to walk away, but suddenly, he was standing right in front of me.His eyes were red and puffy, and he looked at me with desperate sadness."How long are you going to keep torturing me like this?" he asked hoarsely. "Please, Bernice...""I already told you—I don't want to see or talk to you again!"I pushed past him and rushed to the shelf to place the books down. I started sorting them one by one, trying to ignore the weight of his presence as he stepped closer."What do I have to do to make you believe my

• Alpha's Bite: From Victim to Vengeance   94. Not Just a Deep Sleep

  "Aggy's awake!"Piper's voice startled Paige and me as we tidied up the dorm room. She stood in the doorway and waved us over. Without hesitation, we rushed to the infirmary.Aggy had been unconscious for three days. Even Healer Theresa couldn't explain why. Whenever we asked, she simply said that Aggy was "in a deep sleep."It was strange.Even stranger, the headmaster never questioned me. It was as if our little escape had been completely hidden, known only by Paige, Piper, and the three Alpha heirs.Rumor had it that Aggy had been found passed out in her room.How could I not feel even more ashamed and guilty knowing that this was being covered up just to protect me?When we arrived at the infirmary, Aggy was already sitting up in bed and eating hungrily. Her smile and cheerful wave instantly made the three of us burst into tears. We rushed forward to hug her all at once."What's going on with you guys?" Aggy looked at us, c

• Alpha's Bite: From Victim to Vengeance   93. Something Wrong with Aggy

  "Bernice!"A gentle grip on my shoulder woke me up. I gasped when I saw Genesis kneeling in front of me, worry etched on his face."Genesis? What are you doing here?"Crap! I'd been busted!"I was looking for you and Aggy," he said, glancing behind him. "Jasher's with me. So is Zach."Double damn!"Why are you looking for me? What for? Aggy and I were leaving!" I snapped, annoyed."Hey, calm down. Let's just talk this out, okay?" Genesis glanced around. "Where's Aggy?"I suddenly realized that Aggy was gone. It was already morning. A few people were arriving at the bus stop."Aggy?" I stood up in a panic.Jasher and Zach approached, but I immediately looked away. Suddenly, Zach grabbed my hand and looked furious."What were you thinking? Why would you do something this reckless?" he half-yelled.I yanked my hand away and pushed him back. "Get away from me! I hate you!"Zach froze, his face pal

• Alpha's Bite: From Victim to Vengeance   92. Runaway

  I stared at the ceiling of the common room as I lay on the couch. It was almost midnight, yet I still couldn't sleep. I'd been isolating myself here since classes ended.Luckily, Aggy, Paige, and Piper understood; they didn't bother me at all.After talking to Zach, I left him immediately. I didn't want to hear any more of his excuses. My heart was broken; I felt totally betrayed.I thought he was the love I'd been waiting for all this time. It turns out that Zach was just using me. He tricked me. How could he be so cruel to me?Suddenly, Aggy's face popped into my sight from above."You're still up, Bern?"I wiped my tears and sat up. "Aggy...""Did I scare you? Sorry, Bern." She sat down beside me. "Don't dwell on it like this. You'll get sick from heartache."I shrugged. "I don't know what to do.""Just move on. You still have Jasher and Genesis."I didn't respond. I could only sit there, holding back sobs.

  When I walked into the dorm, I found my friends finishing up their showers and getting ready for the day. When Aggy saw me, she gasped. My eyes were already swollen from crying on the way back."Bern? What happened? Did you fight with Shirley again?" Aggy asked.I shook my head and collapsed onto the couch. Piper hurried over. "Are you hurt?""What did they do to you?" Zach, Jasher, or Genesis?" Paige added, her voice sharp with concern.I didn't answer right away. I wasn't sure how much I could tell my best friends. Part of me was still afraid—afraid to open up about everything that was happening between Zach, Genesis, Jasher, and me.But honestly? I was exhausted from keeping it all inside."Zach, Jasher, and Genesis all claimed me as their mate," I said softly.The three of them looked at each other."Yeah, we know that," Piper said, nodding. Aggy and Paige followed suit."They've all marked me. At different tim

  When Zach returned to the cafeteria, he didn't say a word. He focused on his food and only half-listened to Genesis's chatter. I wasn't really paying attention either—I was too busy trying to steal glances at Zach."So, what do you think, Bern?" Genesis asked suddenly.I blinked at him, confused. "I... I'm not sure.""Why not? Wouldn't it be better to switch to a class that matches your interests?"Oh, Genesis was talking about switching classes. I quickly shook my head. "I'll work hard in the class I'm in now.""Speaking of hard work," Zach cleared his throat. "I'll give you a schedule, Bern. I'll be giving you extra classes to help build your skills, and I want you to record your progress in a journal.""Drawing? Or writing?" Jasher's snarky voice chimed in.Zach sighed. "I'm serious."I saw all three of them tense up from the table where Aggy, Paige, and Piper were sitting. They were probably afraid that another fight
