Nivia POV.

We stood outside the gates looking at each other.

"Are we really going to do this?" Suzanne, who had been quiet all along finally spoke.

"What do you think, Suzanne?" Kyle glowered at her and started walking forward.

Mateo shrugged, "It's not like we've not been in these woods before."

"We never came alone; there were many of us, including teachers," Sonia pointed out.

"Anyway, we have to move out. Standing here will do nothing for us, the gates are already locked. There's no going back in," Justin said and walked after Kyle.

Claire and Sonia followed after him. After a few minutes, Austin, David, and Rachel reluctantly started the hike.

"Are you not coming?" Mateo asked me when he saw I made no effort to move.

"Do I have a choice?" I mused and started to walk, looping my fingers around my back-strap.

I had no interest in this game.

I would rather be in class having lessons than waste my time in these bushes looking for a magic ball.

    Nivia POV."Why her?" Mateo asked."What do you mean?"Justin glared at him."Yes, why her?" Claire demanded, rising to her feet."Why not her?" Justin's brows furrowed. "What's wrong if I want to go with Nivia?""She has me already, you should pick someone else," Mateo returned his glare."What do you mean she has you? Do you own her?" Justin stepped forward, his eyes blazing with anger."She's most comfortable with me; it's only right we go together." Mateo stepped forward as well.Tension suffused the air and I started to feel nervous.Oh no.I hope they weren't about to fight over me again."Is that what she said to you? That she's only comfortable with you?" Justin cocked his head at Mateo, "Or is that your own opinion?"Mateo stood firm as he matched Justin, aura for aura, "You could have picked anyone else, why must it be her?""She's not your personal property," Justin retorted, "She has a voice, let her speak for herself.""You won't make her do what she doesn't want to do," M

  • Moonchild; The Rise Of the Lycans   Chapter 26: Find the Ball (II)

    Principal Jaxon POV.What the hell am I doing?I wondered as I left my students outside the gates and walked back to the assembly hall.That witch better know what heck she was doing.I was sending my students out into the forest in this cold all because she sensed that the child was among them.If she was so full of power, why couldn't she just point out the child?I was risking my son's safety, as well as the safety of the children in my school. Their parents would be mad at me if anything happened to them.Most of the children had prominent parents in our community. Take, for instance, Claire's father, my Beta, he would go berserk if he knew I sent his daughter off into the woods with a sprained ankle.What of David's father, Justice Lukeman? I was taking a risk by letting that witch have her way in my school.I got into the assembly hall and found her sitting on a chair alone and staring into the space in front of her.Her lips moved as though she were communicating with someone

    Nivia POV.I exhaled a breath.I didn't know which was more discomfiting.The knowledge that there was another game after this game, or that she continued to call us children."What game are we playing next?" David, Rachel's mate and new boyfriend asked."The next game is called 'Find the Ball," Miss Antoinette said.Oh, so we're moving from passing the ball to finding the ball?What were we? Toddlers?Alpha Jaxon could find other better ways to waste our precious time."In this next game," she continued, "You must find my ball and bring it back to me. The person who finds it first would get a special reward."Okay... That got me interested. I liked the sound of a reward."Why do we need to find the ball when it's right here with you?" Sonia inquired."Is it?" The witch blew on the ball and we watched it float in the air, then fly out the window.Through the open windows, we could see the ball fly away, through the school compound and over the fence, disappearing into the woods outsi

    Nivia POV. "Before we start the game, we need to rearrange our sitting positions," The witch leader continued. "Boys to my right and girls to my left." I frowned. What type of game required us to change our seats? "Why does she want to play a game with us?" I whispered low. "You should be more concerned with what a witch is doing in our school," Justin mumbled beside me. I looked around and saw boys leaving their seats on the left to go to the right and girls swapping seats as well. "Shouldn't you go to the other side?" I glanced beside me at him. "I like where I'm seated, don't feel like leaving," he muttered. As if on cue, the witch stumped her metal rod on the ground, "Up children, make it snappy." Reluctantly, he got up and moved over to the other side. Once again, I was left alone in the back seat. When the movements stopped and everyone was seated, the witch reached into the sleeve of her dress and brought out a small white pearl. "We're going to play pa

    Nivia POV.Today was a school day and we were supposed to be in class having lessons.But the school speakers had blasted from every corner, summoning all the students to the assembly hall.We were all seated in the hall, in our usual friendly cliques, and were waiting to be addressed."What now?" I saw a student in front of my seat grumbling. "I hope Alpha Jaxon is not calling us here to talk about the escortion fees.""He takes a lot of money from us while giving a free ride to the scholarship freebies," another in their group sneered.I was a scholarship freebie, so that made me feel uncomfortable."Can we move to the back?" I said to Mateo, who was seated beside me."No, let's stay here," he said crisply.I wanted to insist, but decided to stay put. Mateo was doing that thing again, where he was stiff and non-communicative.And I knew it was because of what happened with Justin.Yesterday, he told me to wait for him while he went to class to get his books. Somehow, I got caught up
