***JAMIE***“And this will be your room, young prince. Your roommates are already waiting for you,” Mr. Fred, the boarding director, said, and I just mouthed a ‘thank you’ to him, and with that, he was gone. I stood in front of the door, taking steady breaths.“Jamie?” I heard a familiar voice call behind me, and I turned to look at him.“Spencer?” I called in surprise. “I mean, I’m not surprised to see you, it’s just, well, I am surprised,” I said awkwardly.“Me too,” he said, then frowned. “Although I’m not sure if I should be talking to you,” he added. And I remembered, I had left his younger sister at the altar.“I’m sorry—of course, you shouldn’t,” I said and bowed my head.“Hey! Come on, I never really supported you two. You are too cold to handle Avery, trust me,” he said, and I smiled at how nice he was. This was exactly why I fell for him.“Is that your room?” he asked, pointing to the door.“Yes,” I answered shyly, “although I haven’t really been inside,” I added.“Cool, thi

***JAMIE***“Are you okay?” I heard Mother’s voice as my eyelids slowly fluttered open, trying to adjust to the brightness of the room.“No?” I answered, lifting my hands to shield my eyes from the filtering light. “I’m having a splitting headache right now.”Mother chuckled. “Wolves don’t have headaches.”Well, she was right. I felt shitty, but who was I to know if it was really a headache.Father's deep voice came just as I finished my statement. “You should be careful, girl.”I jerked towards the voice to check if it was really my father who spoke. And when my eyes finally met him, I found him by the door, leaning against the wall and watching me softly with a worried expression on his face.Was he done being angry at me?My head dropped to the ground as soon as I realized how much trouble I had caused them. “I’m sorry,” I said quickly.“No,” Father responded, darting towards me in small steps. Then he pulled a chair right beside my mother. “We are sorry.”My brows furrowed as he s

***JAMIE***I was lost in thoughts when the priest's voice suddenly pulled me in.“Do you—Jamie Silver, take Avery Gordon to be your husband? Do you promise to be faithful to her in good times and in bad, in sickness and in health, to love her and to honor her all the days of your life?” The priest asked, tugging his glasses slightly.I didn’t think before answering. “I do.” “And, do you—Avery Gordon take Jamie Silver to be your husband? Do you promise to be faithful to him in good times and in bad, in sickness and in health, to love him and to honor him all the days of your life?“Of course, I do.” Avery responded, a wide smile spreading across her face.“With the power vested in me,” the priest said, facing the congregation. “I pronounce you husband and…”I didn't let him finish. “You know what… I don't think I can do this. I can't."The whole congregation gasped and when my eyes traced to my parents, the look on their faces almost made me change my mind. But I tightened my resolve

***JAMIE***“No!” I yelled with utter disgust. “I’m not getting married to Avery.”My father did not even flinch. He stood by the window, hands behind his back.“Well,” he said calmly, “you don’t really have a choice, boy.”The word hit me like it always did.Boy.Even now. Even when it was just us, he wouldn't still regard my actual gender.My chest tightened, and something heavy pressed down on me as I tried to keep my voice steady.“Dad,” I mumbled, fists tightening. “It doesn’t matter how many times you say it… I am definitely not going to marry her.”He turned to face me fully this time, his brows pulling together. “What did you just say?”My throat suddenly went dry as my eyes met his, but I did not back down.“Don’t you get it?” I asked, my eyes stinging as the words forced their way out. “I’ve been living like this for you. Pretending. Hiding. Acting like someone I’m not just so you can retain your position as Alpha.”He said nothing, he just watched me as if giving me the nud
