102Alyssa’s PovI squeezed my eyes as I came back to reality. I didn’t know when I slept off again last night. The sun rays shone through the windows and I rose to my feet, then stared at myself in a mirror which was fixed there.Suddenly, I began to hear male voices as they passed by and horror filled my soul immediately. My heart was beating so fast that I thought anyone would hear it and stop by to check.“Gosh!” I said sharply under my breath. “What do I do?” I muttered under my breath as I placed my thumb in between my teeth.”Alyssa, we can’t leave this school just like that. Those men are certainly waiting for us somewhere around there. Mother and father didn’t die for us to be killed so soon.” My wolf spoke.“So, what do I do?” I asked, feeling so clueless on what step to take with the way things were going in my life.“We have to stay here in this school.” My wolf answered calmly.“Right here? In an all-boys school? Have you forgotten I’m a female?” I questioned, not underst
101Alyssa’s PovAn excruciating pain hit at my chest, and I placed my right hand, trying to put pressure, wishing that could take my pain. I had never thought anyone would reject me in my life, and being rejected now, I had had a taste of the bitter pain that so many people had talked about.It felt as if my breathing seized, and at some point, I could barely stand upright through the course of the pain.“No…. I….” I muttered out, not knowing what exactly to say.It wasn’t as if I wanted to be his mate, but the fact that he just expelled me from his pack, spelt trouble for me. It simply meant I would be out alone with nobody backing me up, and that’s only going to make me a rogue.Two guards appeared, and they held me tight, and began to drag me away from the party.“No! Please don’t do this to me!” I screamed out.Although, I was never happy staying in their pack, but due to the stories my mother had once told me about the life of the rogues, I feared being sent out and exiled, but
100Alyssa’s Pov“What! Wouldn’t that be dangerous?”“No, it won’t. It’s just going to be like the way you’re living your life here.” The maid said to me, then with a wave of her hand, a big portal opened.“Are you ready to take your change into your hands?” She asked me, and I looked back at the woods, then back at the portal.“Okay, I can do this. It’s just to change the course of my fate.”“Now, you’re talking.” She said to me with a smile.A smile also came up on my face, then I blew out air sharply.“Okay, what do I do next?”“Just walk right into the portal. And there starts your new life.” She instructed me, and I nodded.“But when my Alphas notice that I’m gone, what’s going to happen?”“They are all going to think something might have snatched you away. But you don’t have to worry, when you find the ultimate item to change your fate, you won’t have to be scared of your Alphas dealing with you.” She assured me.I sighed one more time, and nodded my head.“Alright then.” I said
99Alyssa’s PovI had to mister up every courage in me and continued walking towards him until I was a few steps away from him.“Were you looking for me?” I asked, with my head faced down.“You have no idea how ridiculous you seem right now. You aren’t supposed to be able to hold your head high for now because you lost this round. Look, just because you won the first round doesn’t mean that you should relax when it comes to the second contest. Do not tarnish the image which we have already built with our hands.” Ryan said to me, and walked away.That again, hurt me. Why exactly am I going through this in one day? This is the third person driving a nail to my heart even though the second person only meant good. But then, I have no choice than to be strong. I have always had to be, anyways.I headed back to my room and pulled off my clothes, then bounced to the bed. My stressed out bones felt at ease and my mood seemed to be a little better.“I just hope to do better in the other contes
98Alyssa’s PovThe joy in my heart was so overwhelming as I kept leaping over big logs and anything that was going to slow me down in running back to the pack.I held the gem tight with a wide smile that revealed all my teeth. My heart was pounding so fast while pumping more blood as I used all my strength to run as fast as I could. The excitement that rushed through my veins with the thought of Ryan and Reynold being proud to see me win the second round was so sparkling.“Thank you, moon goddess,” I appreciated her with my heart filled with gratitude.The part of the woods I had gotten to was quiet and there was no obstacle on the ground, so I closed my eyes and spread my arms to feel the wind brushing past me harshly.Best feeling ever.The feeling of winning.But just then, I bumped into someone and the gem fell off my hand as I tripped and fell to the ground.My eyelids fluttered twice as I realized it was Dana, one of the contestants. She was also on the floor and the frown on h
97Alyssa’s PovWith a smile on my face, I gently followed the butterflies. The excitement that bubbled from the deepest part of me was so much that I couldn’t help but giggle at intervals. The butterflies just seemed to amaze me with their colors and the way they flapped their wings, flew around each other made it seem like they were also having some sort of communication.That alone, was sparking my curiosity.“I wonder what it is they’re talking about. Is it me?” I chuckled at that thought and also rolled my eyes at the absurdity in it.Following them for even more than ten minutes was quite interesting and even felt much better than the contest. At least, this much break shouldn’t put me at a disadvantage. After all, I don’t know where to begin the search.Just then, I felt something draw my clothes back and I almost lost my stand on the ground due to that unforeseen happening.“Goodness.” I uttered under my breath as I discovered it was a low branch which hung on to the lower par
