JAYI was on my way to the boxing club when the bracelet on her wrist sparkled into my eyes, drawing my attention.My eyes were fixed on her.The moment I saw her in the academy, I knew she was my savior.She was quiet, standing in line and facing Kelly. The disciplinary committee was checking items on them. Her violet hair was shining differently, making her stand out.“Jay, you aren't coming?” Ren kept calling me but I was lost in her, all of me, completely.“Who the hell are you staring at?” Ren comes closer to me, shifting his gaze to her following the direction of mine.“Wow. Violet hair.” He mumbled.“She's mine.” My lips warned him.He was a bit startled.“You never cared about girls. Is she special?”“She is the button girl,” I answered.“What? The button girl.” It was almost like he fell from the sky. Ren knew about her and everything that had happened at the Red Lake.“You found her.” A smile glints on my lips.Strangely, she was a bit anxious. Her palm was covering the br
JAYIt was raining heavily that night. The dark sky frequently lit up, spreading electrical veins into the darkness.“I am getting married to Sheena,” Father announced.“What about Mother?” “She left us on her own. It was her choice.”“Father, you can't replace her.” He turned around, abandoning my eyes.“Sheena will be your mother.”“No. She can never be my mother.” I grabbed a flower vase and shattered it into a million pieces, hurt, angry, and broken.“JAY!” He turned to me and groaned.“Mother is your mate. You can't give your place to anyone just like that.” “I will decide what is good for us.” Sheena stepped inside and stood beside him. He held her hand shamelessly.“You have to accept her.”The moment felt like my whole world was crumbling down.After Mother left me, I searched every corner for her, crying desperately. Father locked me in a room to escape answering my questions.“Mommy.”“Where are you?”“Mommy.”My voice would always call her.Though a nanny looked after m
On the night of Jerek's death…JAYI saw him laying his hands on Hailey. He was trying to claim her, steal her from me. Unfortunately, Rizz saved her.It shouldn't have been me but I was glad.She quickly returned to her dorm and Rizz let him off with a simple warning. He didn't do anything bad to that bastard.A simple warning???The moment he touched Hailey, I had already planned his murder in my head. They parted ways, and Jerek returned to his dorm as if nothing had happened. With patience, I waited outside his dorm in secret until the athletes in the hallway disappeared.Just when the clock rang at two, I finally approached his door.The entire hallway was dark.My fingers closed into a tight fist and knocked at the door two to three times. After a while, his sleepy voice answered.“Who?” He opened the door.“J-Jay?” His eyes went wide.“Let's go outside. We need to talk.” I took him to the woods and he followed me like an obedient puppy.As we were deep in the woods, surround
RIZZA wrinkle appears on her plain forehead and her eyes shroud in rage. She's beyond my understanding.“Have you gone crazy?” I take a step forward.She closes her fingers into tight fists.My steps pause.“I have nothing to say to you anymore.” She attempts to leave yet my hand reaches for her, grabbing her wrist, and pulls her into my arms.“Listen to me, Hailey Randle.” Her gaze stays unwavering.“Ever since you entered the academy, I have been very gentle with you. Make one wrong move against me, I'll drag you to hell.”“Wrong move?” Her brows furrow.“Don't try to hurt Kelly. She's my mate.” My lips move closer to her ear.“No one can hurt my mate as long as I am protecting her.” I whisper.As our eyes meet again, she is still holding onto the look of fury. Something is different about her.Her gaze is so sharp, clearly plotting my murder behind the look.“Also…” My fingers softly lift her chin.She stays calm, cooperating.“We made a deal to ruin Jay Manchester. Don't make m
Two days later…ARIAA loud siren echoes through the walls, summoning all the students to the main hall. As my feet enter through the crowd, the sight before me sends chills to my spine.Jerek is peacefully lying on the floor. His lifeless body, a pale corpse.My eyes widen.Ella stands next to me and holds my palm.“Isn't he Jerek?” She whispers.My head nods in response.“He went missing but now he's dead.” Her fingers make their grip stronger on my palm.I can hear my heart pounding loudly as ever.Sheena stands beside the body, her gaze scanning through our faces. She is worlds apart from Amina. Her dressing style is pretty simple and so is her makeup. Not a single flashy thing on her body.Anyone can tell at one glance that she's devoted to serving the Alpha. More reason to be careful around her.“We found his body in the woods buried underneath a rock.” Her voice reaches every ear, stirring panic and confusion in the air.Everyone is passing each other a glance.“Someone took ou
ARIAI rush out of the room, barely walking straight. My head is still heavy, spinning. As my feet step into the darkness, he growls behind me.Rizz Sylvester took my everything.The darkness grows stronger around me, and I escape through it.Coming back to my dorm, my feet rashly step inside and I close the door, inhaling a deep breath, crumbling down to the floor.Tears slowly stream down my face.The drug is still in my system but I am conscious enough to mourn over my misery. It made my body weak but my mind was alert.My fingers move up to my hair, clutching them, enduring the pain stirring in my chest.It's unbearable.I am scared that he might turn his back on me…again.***KELLYAs the lights turn on, my feet rush back to his room. Surprisingly, Myla is gone.“Where did she go?” My gaze scans through the hallway but no trace of her. Well, she is afraid of darkness.I push the door and step inside. The room is shrouded in the scent of that drug. It couldn't affect me because o
