13: The clash of power
"That's enough! Let her go!" comes the commanding voice of Dane and my eyes flies open and my shaking body stills.
Spencer does not let me go as Dane command him to. Instead, his eyes leave mine and flies over to Dane, who probably stood not so far away.
He scoffs, "Why should I? You do not know what she has done?" he demands, his grip on my hair tightening. "And this isn't any of your business, so for your own safety, I advise you stay out of it!"
The arrogance in Spencer's voice tells me he has no clue who he speaks to. Perhaps because he hasn't been around Dane long enough to denote his voice, and he assumes he was just a nosy passerby he can rudely speak to. The street lights in this area are faulty and the light they produced barely illuminates the street and made it hard to see, which must be why Spencer and his minions picked this spot to attack me.
"I don't care what she has done, I care that you're hurting her so I'm going to ask you

One hour thirty minutes later, I relax on the pharmacy bed while the young doctor places the bandage in her hand on the wounded spot on my head after examining me. My broken left arm already has a cast on it and my head is currently being examined."How long will but take to heal now?" I ask curiously.She smiles a little, "Well, depends on the type of body you have, two weeks to one month.""Oh, that's a very long time." I mentally calculate the number of days in two weeks and a month.She notices and chuckles, "Don't worry, the days will pass by faster than you expect."Not when your name is Jaclyn Tarr, it doesn't."Do you feel pain in other parts of your body as well?" She asks, her eyes already scanning what she can see on my body."My arm and head, that's all.""Okay, then you will be fine, with proper medication and attention.""How's the payment done here?" I ask curiously. The money I had in my bag w

Mama asked Lorenzo for another favour today, and he accepted and drove me to school.She told me to stay safe and call her if anything happened. Her eyes revealed that she didn't want to leave me, but she had no other choice. I informed her I could take care of myself. I also told her I felt fine, better than yesterday, which she knew was a lie, but she understood I wanted her to worry less. She nodded and waved me off.All eyes stay on me as I walk into the school premises. They gawk at me like an alien with wings and tails, and I will not say I'm surprised. Most of them already experienced their premier shifting and got blessed with the ability to heal. Even Dane looked astounded when he noticed I wasn't healing last night.Way to stand out, Jaclyn! I high five myself mentally.Knowing I can't go back home, I inform myself that the student stared because I look stare-able, which has to be a good thing.I am in school because I h
Betrayed by the Alpha 16: An even awkward situation
“It’s lunch break time, Jaclyn. Go now so you wouldn’t say I didn’t inform you!” Anthony yells from across his desk and I flinch a little, looking around and making sure he startled no one else studying at the library. Just like I hoped, everyone has their concentration fixed on the books before them.“Sometimes I wonder how you got this job!” I hiss under my breath. Anthony has a good heart, but sometimes he lets his asshole think for him.He rolls his eyes, “I told you, Mr Andrew owed my father a favour, and he called it in after I graduated.”I asterisk the part of the novel I currently read before rising to my feet. “Keep startling me and I’m going to make sure Mr Andrew changes his mind about that favour.”“Hahaha,” he laughs dramatically, “You can try, babe.”I scrunch my face at him before making my way out of the library.

“Where are my manners?” I sigh, realising I haven’t invited him to join me, “I know this might not be what you normally eat—”“What do you think I normally eat?” he asks, a bit of humour in his deep voice.‘Honestly, human flesh.’ I don’t dare say it out loud.My shoulder lifts in a mild shrug. “Something fancier and richer, filled with fattened meat you'd consider most important. I know this isn’t any of that, but care to join me?” I stretch the fork in my hand over to him.I studied at the Unique Academy for six years and I saw how the rich kids behaved; they carried themselves with pride and grace and did not mingle with just anyone there. The poor, like myself, kept company with those in their social status, and the rich did likewise. There has always been a bridge between us and I have expected Dane to maintain, but he hasn’t done that ye
Betrayed by the Alpha 18: The fine line of friendship
"Stand still!" mama snaps at me as she passes the rope through the last opening of the purple ball gown with silver-coloured crystal designs I wore and tied it together so that it fits perfectly. "If you keep moving, it won't be perfect." She hisses.I grumble under my breath, "I won't be able to breathe in this dress," I warn her."There is no such thing," she disagrees, and I can feel her rolling her eyes.I press my lips together to suppress a smile as she turns me around to face her."Now onto your hair.""How long is that going to take?" I raise my brow, impatient already."Does it matter? You just need to look good, besides it's your prom night.""I don't really care how I look, it's just prom.""Prom is once in a lifetime. Make the best of the memories." She tells me, placing me on the seat before the dressing mirror. She grabs a brush from the mirror stand and brushes my hair in her hand.

Dane's POV "Come." I hold out a hand to Jaclyn standing at the door with a white silk gown. She looks so enchanting, so perfect with her coarse black hair falling over her shoulder and every fibre in my body made known what I knew. I want her now more than I can control. She also looks nervous and a little sceptical, but takes my hand gingerly and I pull her closer to myself. The feel of her body against mine set loose a few nuts in my brain and ignites the fires that burns within me. I can tell she's afraid of me, of us, and what we could be, and I don't want her to be. I tilt her chin up and her enchanting blue eyes lift and lock in mine, causing my heart to skip in my chest. She has no idea what she does to me with her every move and despite not wanting to be overcome by the thought of her, I can't
Betrayed by the Alpha 20: Long overdue recompense
Liam is a beta from the South. He survived an attack on his former pack, the harmony pack, and after being rescued and taken care of by the Rogue pack, he joined us. It's been three years and despite the challenges and pain that came with that decision, he has remained loyal to us. "It won't be so long anymore," I assure him, reaching to place a firm hand on his shoulder and together we step out of the room. Rachel and Ian stand outside the hotel which I lodge, looking set for today just like they promise and I nod at them before heading towards my car. The door to my Kia motor opens and Liam and I step into it. The driver drives us off immediately, already knowing the address, and Ian and Rachel's black Toyota car follow behind us. This is the first step in changing all our lives and we will do it together. The car comes to a stop before the massive tower belonging to Starling Heights company. The company ranks amongst the top five in the north-centr

Jaclyn's POV We received information about a general meeting for the students chosen for the Go Project and it would take place today. So, I planned to meet up with Ken at his place with the hope of us going together. It's five days since prom and with every day that passes, the project commencement draws closer. Based on my calculations, we should be at the school before the program begins.We didn't talk about the kiss we shared on prom night. I wanted to, but Ken put little mind to it and I didn't feel like I should either. But I think about it almost every day. I might have been the oldest amongst my peers at the Academy, but there are still a lot of things I'm yet to experience compared to them. You get little luck with guys when you've had the 'weird one' written all over you. I, however, think having Ken as a friend is a miracleI don't want to ruin what we have by bringing the kiss up, and I've ch
