I realized the curtains had been down since the very day I got here.

Despite the weather it was always down. I hadn't really taken note of it before because I liked cool rooms anyways, but the heat today was killing at the moment so my eyes wandered towards the fabric.

Janna's bed position was in a weird position too. It was horizontal to the window. I rubbed my hand against my forehand. I must be overthinking things. She probably didn't like much sunlight like me or she gets migraines or something.

I sighed, picked up the remote and turned on the air conditioner.

While it hummed to life, I went through the messages on my phone. There was a missed call from my mom, so I called her back and we spoke for a while.

I sat upright and unclasped my necklace, placing it on the drawer. My eyes lingered to my wrist where Darien had caught earlier and I touched it unconsciously.

Then my eyes wandered off to Janna's table and I saw a lilac case with a bl

  • The Alpha's Detention    "No wonder"

    Chapter 24 . . . Lina I decided to spend the rest of my day at the roof top. I heard quite a lot of things about it. So I decided to experience it first hand today. I stood at the door and took it few deep breaths before pushing. The rooftop was nothing like I expected. The sky felt huge, painted in baby blue, and the wind carried that fresh, free kind of smell. I saw old benches near the railings, probably dragged up here by bored students. Someone had scribbled doodles and cheesy love notes on the walls. I turned to me left and i saw a tall figure wavering from afar. I walked closer, squinting my eyes,and that's when I realized it was Darien. He gaze flickered to my direction before finally turning back. "Woah, this place really lives up to it's name." I said, with my eyes scanning around the place, amazed. He finally turned towards me. "Some people are trying to focus here." "Last time i checked, this rooftop wasn't the property of Darien. The library is ava

  • The Alpha's Detention    Drop It, Lina

    Chapter 25...LinaThe ray of the sun woke me up today. It stabbed through the curtains like it had a personal grudge against me. My head pounded, my eyes felt raw, and all I wanted was to pretend the whole of yesterday never happened.But pretending wasn’t going to work. Especially when the image of my reflection smirking back at me still played repeat in my head. I dragged myself out of bed and into the kitchen. The Alphas were scattered around like already. Blake was on his phone, Azrael was brooding into his coffee, Darien flipped through a notebook even on the table, and Kaiza…of course…was perched on the counter like a cat, shoving toast into his mouth.I stood awkwardly in the doorway. No one looked up except Kaiza, who grinned with his mouth full.“Morning, little one.”“Don’t call me that,” I muttered, shuffling in.He swallowed dramatically. “Fine, missy. Better?”“Not really.”I grabbed a mug and poured myself coffee, ignoring the way Azrael’s eyes flicked up for a sec

    Chapter 22...LinaI should’ve known something was off the second Mrs Alice called me into her office after last period. Her smile was too tight, like she was holding something back, and I instantly hated it.“Sit down, Lina,” she said softly, folding her hands on the desk.“I didn’t do anything,” I blurted before she could even start. That earned me a pinched smile.“This isn’t about you being in trouble. It’s… a housing adjustment. For your safety.”I frowned. “Housing adjustment?”Her gaze flickered to the side. “Starting tonight, you’ll be moving into the Alpha dorm. Temporarily.”I stared. Blinked. Laughed nervously. “That’s...funny. You almost got me.”But she wasn’t laughing.“You’re serious?” I said, my voice rising. “That’s a joke, right? I mean...me? In their dorm?”She pressed her lips together, clearly trying to make it sound reasonable. “The Head Council thinks it’s best you stay close to them. Just until things settle. You’ve noticed the tension lately, haven’t you?”

  • The Alpha's Detention    Relax I Don't Bite

    Chapter 21 . . . Lina I could feel the air itself pressing me down the moment i got to the hall. I felt something had happened even before I saw the looks. Students whispered in tight circles, eyes flicking in my direction then darting away like I was some walking disease. I hugged my books close, pretending not to notice, but every step made my skin itch. It had been like this ever since the party. Ever since… whatever it was had tied me to them. I still didn’t even understand it. But somehow, everything was my fault now. “Lina,” a voice called. I froze, and when I turned Brienna was leaning against the locker just ahead, arms crossed, a calm smile on her face. She looked at me like she’d been waiting. “You look tired,” she said smoothly, eyes scanning me from head to toe. “Rough morning?” “I’m fine,” I answered, my voice too quick. “You sure? Because something’s different.” She tilted her head, studying me with a gaze that made my chest tighten. “People just want some

  • The Alpha's Detention    She's The Problem!

    Chapter 20...AzraelThe first thing I felt was a deep ache in my body and then the cold air that had hit my face. I looked around me, and all I saw was broken glass. My corner was destroyed, the window was shattered and my desk was split in two with deep cracks running through the wall. My knuckles were bruised but I didn't remember doing it.I sat up and the blankets fell away. My head was pounding and the nightmare was still there clinging to me darker than ever it was. She was there too. Lina standing in the middle of it all with those big grey eyes just watching me like a ghost from a past I tried to bury. It made me so angry I wanted to break something else.The door creaked open and Blake was standing there, his face like stone. He didn't look surprised, he just looked at the wreckage and then at my bloody hands.“You almost took my head off,” he said, his voice completely flat like he was stating a simple fact. “I came to your corner when I heard the noise. You threw a piec

    Chapter 19...LinaJanna walked in with an upturned face a few minutes later, and she collapsed on her chair the moment she took off her shoes.“What happened earlier?” She said, taking out a face wipe from the pack.“I'm equally curious as you.” I said.“Well damn, that's new.” She said, wiping her face.“I don't know why, but I have a feeling it has something to do with Brienna.” I let my gaze drift away, but when I glanced back at Janna, she was just staring. The wipe she was holding earlier had dropped to the floor. “Are you okay?” I asked, with my brows knitting.“Yeah I'm fine. I just need to rest.” She said,I nodded and got on my bed to sleep.*******Soon after it was morning and I woke up with an eye bag indicating I hadn't slept well the previous night. I turned to my side and Janna was still asleep which was weird because she was always awake before me. Either she was already prepared or she was about to dress up. I ran my left hand across my hair and sluggishly walk
