SEVENTEEN
~Jada
Waking up the morning of the new week left me queasy.
There is no way today can go well. Already, someone else I didn’t know so well has been eliminated from the competition last week. I had convinced myself it would be me, considering what I had revealed last week between Baylee and Niko. When I wasn’t sent home, I was left up late at night wondering why it wasn’t me.
Baylee has been ignoring me. In fact, she’s been ignoring everyone, going cold and distant to even her closest friends. But none of them had glares sent their way when passing her in the hall…

~JadaMy plan was set for tonight.I’m assuming it won’t be difficult to get in, if it’s anything like my sects residence. By the first hour of morning, everyone is in the room should be asleep, which leaves the perfect time to put my plan into fruition. Luckily, I was able to sneak the kids - whose name I learned was Jake - room number thanks to a very impressionable girl hanging around the library.Tonight, I’m not exactly sure what I’m going to find out, but hopefully it will keep me in this competition. He seems to always be hiding something, and I’m hoping it’s dark and intriguing.

~JadaI shouldn’t agree to this.Jake is a strange kid, and I know that. Like me, he has discovered he wants more from this competition than to win it. He wants to know about the Alpha he could potentially be serving, like me. However, I’ve never gone about sneaking into his estate. I’ve been very obvious about what I’ve been doing.Problem is, I promised Kael I wouldn’t no longer pursue anything but this competition. He hasn’t written back, and I cannot be sure he even got it and read it, but I can’t possibly go back on it…“Listen,

~JadaThe moment he opens the door I regret everything.What am I thinking? Alpha Kael trains Silent’s, and here I am, trying to distract him with cupcakes while Jake sneaks in. There is no way this is going to work. Not when he in no way wants to see me, and I’ve snuck out. No matter how I rationalised this in my mind, seeing him makes this all seem incredibly foolish.He appears at the door himself, not having anyone else to do his bidding. Either he doesn’t have staff here during the night, or at all. He seems to prefer solitude, and with all his secrets, it makes sense.

~JadaI couldn’t move.In sheer shock, I’m left staring at Alpha Kael’s unconscious body slumped backward on the couch. His eyes are rolled back, his mouth parted, hopefully still taking in air. I’m unsure what to do, my entire body shaking in pure fear. What just happened? Is he still alive? I can see his chest moving slightly, but I’m not sure how long that is going to last.Standing up, my legs feel as if they are going to collapse at any moment. If someone walks in, they are going to see my Alpha, looking as if I’ve injured him myself. A Silent would surely kill me in this moment.

~KaelIn a few moments, I was at the mercy of an Immortal.We were always warned never to make a deal with an Immortal. But in this case, I had no other choice. It would either be Kael finds out about what happened, or I forever become in debt to Sinful. Either way, both may end in death, so I chose the latter, which might have me around longer than the former.A few days have passed since then, and I haven’t heard anything. I haven’t even heard from Jake, who promised he would reconvene with me about the information he found by the end of the week.

~JadaI’m terrified of where this is going to lead.Kael doesn’t turn back to look at me, simply leading me away and out of the gym. I stare at his back, wishing I could turn and run away from the situation I’m being lead into. I’m afraid he’s going to drag me into a dark room and force me to admit to sneaking into his room a few nights ago.Each muscle under his shirt seems to shift and move under his reasonably tight shirt, like some kind of taunt.I don’t know what we are doing, all I know, is I have to get through it.

~JadaI’m mortified.There’s a smile on Kael’s face, but it’s subtle. I’m ashamed the answer came out like that, as a lie. Within the depths of me, I knew the answer would come out as a lie, however, I was hoping it wouldn’t come through. This is quite the technology. I bet Alpha Alden of the Wisdom Pack is proud of this one.“Ask another question,” I say quickly, staring down at my knuckles rather than Kael’s face. I can feel his eyes looking down at me, waiting for the reaction that he is looking for. Little does he know he won’t get it. “Actually, ask that question again.”
Alpha Kael 25
~JadaCruel.Cruel was the first word that came to mind once those words left his mouth. Initially, there was no way I was about to believe him. As far as I was aware, we aren’t even halfway through competition, so with him saying that, I assumed immediately this is some kind of test to gauge my reaction.As serious as Kael is, I wouldn’t put it past him to use this as a test against us all. Swallowing uncomfortably, I lean back in my chair, refusing to look affected by this. I can’t believe him, and I won’t believe him.When I
