ALEXIA 

You will be fine, I muttered under my breath looking at the tall majestic building in front of me, several heads turned in my direction, a look of displeasure settling over their face. Just like everywhere else, it was clear that I wasn’t welcome here. Reminding myself to ignore them as usual, I walked into the building with my head held high. There were students standing around, chatting, laughing and moving about like they belong here—which they do unlike me. 

Fortunately the principal had been kind enough to inform my Dad to let me d******d the school map because gosh! The building was huge! it has this majestic ancient aura even though it was designed as a modern day castle that speaks of wealth, I instantly fell in love with the architecture.

I gaped open mouthed at the people in front of me, is everyone a model or something? The guys were so good looking and let’s not talk about the girls! The fact that they weren’t paying much attention to me, allowed my gaze to freely wander around. I felt self-conscious for the first time in my life, taking a deep breath I stepped forward. 

"Fine! I'm leaving!" A girl in front of me yelled, retreating and bumping directly into me causing me to drop my backpack that was dropped carelessly over my right shoulder.  

A quick flashback of what happened between me and the girl from the store appeared in my mind. I still have bruises from the way she had grabbed and twisted my arm. What if this girl dies the same thing? I didn’t think my body could handle any of that, I don’t even want to find out! Regardless, I braced myself. 

“Geez, am I that scary?” She asked, laughing a little. 

Now that she has her face turned toward me, I took in her appearance, admitting to myself how breathtaking she looks. Her light brown hair fell loosely down her shoulders like a wave of waterfall, her brown eyes were warm with kindness? And don’t get me started on her toned model body, which she was showing off in a biker tanked top and a low rise jeans, occupied by  black boots.

“Here, let me help you.” She offered, pulling me down along with her, while I just stared as if waiting for something which in fact I was. 

After putting back all the books that fell out of my backpack, we continued to stare at one another. I was too scared to speak while on the other hand, she might be probably waiting for me to say something. Giving up, she let out a sigh and stood up, walking away without a backward glance like a model on a runaway. 

I’m into guys though but most girls I see walk by had me questioning my sexuality for a second, I wasn’t used to seeing that many beautiful people in one day or place! While I didn’t pay attention to the guys, in fact I made it my mission not to look their way so I don’t end up making a fool of myself. Fortunately, no one paid attention to me and a few who managed to catch my scent in the air, only snarled. 

I finally arrived at the principal’s office, letting out a puff of air. “Good day sir.” I started, announcing my presence.

"You must be Alexia Jackson, correct? and you’re from North America, definitely human.” The last part was mostly whispered to himself. “It’s nice having you here,I guess you can thank our Alpha for his generosity, he gave you the permission to be here.” Right, it’s hard to forget that, even my parents have been singing it in my ear along with “be grateful Lexi.”

“I supposed, thanks for having me here.” I let myself relax a bit when he smiled kindly and motioned toward a seat in front of his desk. 

“Alright, I have your approval papers here, make sure to keep it safe.” He handed me a rectangular brown paper that no doubt contained the documents. “Your class schedule is also in the files, along with your locker combination. The key is for emergencies, in case you forget your combinations or prefer to use keys instead.” 

"Thank you very—" my words were interrupted as the door abruptly flung open, followed by a loud growl that made the whole furniture vibrate. Terrified out of my mind, I stood up from the chair, backing toward the nearest cabinet. 

I darted a nervous look in the principal's direction wondering what the hell was going on. A second later, a tall masculine guy stalked into the room, his feline eyes set on the principal like a predator. The aura that radiated from him did not only make me nervous but the principal as well. He looked so drop dead gorgeous, I didn’t even know how to begin to describe him. 

His side profile was sharp and his jaw looked as if it could cut through anything, his jet black hair fell across his head in wet messy waves and it was styled in a way that not even a strand of hair seemed out of place. Not to mention him dressing in all black, everything about him was dark, the devil is indeed beautiful, I thought. 

Looking at him made me feel funny and I blushed, looking away from him even though he hadn’t looked in my direction once. His nostril flared as he lifted his chin arrogantly at the principal, I knew he could smell me. 

“Ethanol, who the fuck gave you the right to let a human walk into my territory?” He demanded, his deep voice sending shivers down my body even though I wasn’t the one he was addressing.

He had the poor man backed against the wall behind his desk, fear evidence in his eyes as the older guy leaned toward him, planting both his hands on the table. 

"It‘s—“ The principal stammered.

“Stop mumbling to yourself and fucking use your outside voice!” He demanded again, this time flipping over the table and causing an involuntary scream to escape me. I quickly covered my mouth to prevent another scream as he veered in my direction.  

Time seemed to freeze as he looked down at me, I stared back, memorised by his dark eyes, they were so dark it looked like a bottomless pit of darkness. I inwardly frowned wondering where the urge to run into his arms was coming from! This guy hates my guts, it was obvious in the way he looked at me, 

He kept staring, no, I meant glaring. 

"Don't fucking stare at me!" He snarled, and I immediately lowered my gaze, staring at his leather shoe instead. Man! He was tall, easily towering over my five feet and whatever small inches I had, I felt so short. 

“I see, you’re the fucking human in my territory.” He said the word human like it was an insult, if the past few months of my life here have proved anything it was that being called human was an insult. 

Since I had no idea what he was talking about, I still kept my eyes down, biting on my lower lip nervously. I hate confrontations, I just wanted this to be over so my heart would stop leaping so much and the stupid urge to fling myself at him would go away. 

"The orders came from Alpha Damon the second." The principal manages to stammer out again.

I finally risked looking up when he addressed the principal. “My Dad?” There’s a note of surprise in his voice. “Never mind, look at me human.” He ordered because I lowered my gaze again when he turned. 

I slowly looked up at him, my lips unconsciously parting, lt like what I feel, or say were beyond my control, it felt beyond my control, it was weird, a good kind of weird. 

“Stop staring at me like that!” He snapped, his eyes darkening even more. 

My throat felt dry and I darted my tongue out to lick my lips, my eyes lowering briefly to look at his. “Like what?” I asked, puzzled by his question.  

“Damn it!” He cussed, stalking out of the room. 

Confused by his reaction, I frowned, feeling a wave of disappointment over his dispatcher. The principal, trying to readjust himself, snapped me out of my thoughts and I hurried to his side to check if he was okay. “Sir, are you alright?” I inquired. 

He nodded, and I got to work, picking up the things the psychopath had fling across the room when he flipped the table, a very hot psycho if you ask me. 

“Alpha is that way, you will get used to it.” He turned the table upright and I gaped at him, surprised by his strength but then the word Alpha made me freeze. 

Alpha? That made so much sense, he’s even more scary than I imagined and I definitely can’t have the hots for someone who clearly hates me and doesn’t want me in his pack. I dropped everything I picked on the floor on the table, not bothering to look back as the Principal thanked me for helping. 

I stared at the school map trying to find where the locker room was located. After that I looked through my class schedule, to see what classes my Dad signed me up for. 

I paused seeing that all my classes had something to do with Luna straining which was bizarre, why the hell? From what I know so far, Luna is supposed to be like what, the Alpha’s wife! Why would my Dad sign me up for that? What Alpha in their right mind would marry a human girl? 

Maybe the principal made a mistake, I retreated with the intention of going back to the principal office when I bumped into someone, spurning around, I was shocked to see it was the girl from earlier. 

For some reason, we both burst out laughing, probably because of the cheer coincidence of us bumping into one another. 

“Do you believe in fate? I think the universe wants us to be friends. I’m Raven and you?” She asked, extending her hand while smiling at me.

    ALEXIA “Alexia!” Before I could even turn around, Raven already left me off the ground from behind and was spinning me around. “I missed you!” I laughed when she finally set me back on my feet, a little embarrassed at how easily she was able to lift me up, but then I had to acknowledge she has the strength of a werewolf too. “I know you’ve only been gone a day but I miss you too! I hope you are good?” “Yeah, just some family drama—” She paused, her attention briefly focused on our audience. “What are you all looking at?” She sneered at them, causing them to look away from us and back to whatever they were doing. Damn I miss her! “Oh…since you’re here, I assume the family drama has been taken care of.” She flung one arm over my shoulder, pulling me close as we made our way out of the locker room. “What did I miss? Tell me everything!” “How dare you!” Izzie interrupts, cutting in front of us. “Be specific.” I replied knowing my morning is about to be ruined by whatever Izzie was

    ALEXIA They forgot me! Ben and Zeke freaking forget the fact that they were supposed to pick me up after school. I made sure not to keep them waiting, as soon as I finished with my last lesson for the day, I didn’t even stop to chat with Leo or torture Izzie into carry my stuff. I hurried towards the parking lots just in time to see them driving off! Several minutes passed by with me still staring after their ‘long disappeared out of sight’ car, a wave of anger stirring up inside me. So now I’m supposed to walk all the way to the manor? While I have no issue walking home from school everyday, the distance from school to the manor is way further than my house and I can’t not go because of the project. Only because of the project which has nothing to do with the fact that I desperately want to see Killian. Who said that? I knew when Leo came up beside me without even looking at my side, he also stared into the distance before he spoke. “Is there any reason why we are looking out ther

    ALEXIARaven never showed up to school, I double texted her, asking if she was alright and I never got a response back. I couldn’t concentrate in class because of how worried I was. Fortunately, the teacher was too busy yapping on about what she was teaching to care about if we were paying attention or not. Once the bell rang, indicating class was over, I cleared my desk before then making my way towards the exit. “Miss Jackson…” I stopped at the sound of my name, turning back around, I approached the teacher where she stood. “You called me.” “Indeed I did, care to explain why you weren’t paying attention in my class?” She inquired, folding her arms across her chest. Oh? She did notice then! Realizing I might be facing detention as punishment, I search my mind for any excuse that could potentially save me from that. “I apologize if it seemed that way but I can assure you, I was very much paying attention.” There was a second pause before she spoke. “Look, I understand our school

    ALEXIA Killian dropped me off at home and we bade each other good night. Walking up to the front door, I noticed it was locked when I tried to open it so I fished out my key from my backpack instead. What ticket did Killian give them this time? Pushing the door open, I step inside and then drop my bag on the couch. Next I took off my shoes and went into the kitchen in my socks to get myself a drink. Just as I set down the cup, I heard the front door open and Dad’s laughter floating into the room. I immediately hurried back to pick up my stuff before they stumbled on them. “Oh, you’re back. Your Dad and I were hoping to beat you back home so I can get started on dinner already.” “Dinner? You aren’t cooking tonight Alice, why don’t you go get change and I’ll order pizza.” Dad replied. I watched Mom beamed up at him before placing a kiss on his cheek and then walking away. Once she was gone, I turned to Dad, waiting for him to tell me about their outing. I was also curious to know h

    ALEXIAOn reaching the pack house, I got down from the car along with the rest while Zeke made a U-turn back to the garage. Still feeling flustered by what happened in the car some minutes ago, I squirm around on my feet as I avoided looking directly at Killian. When several seconds passed with neither Ben nor Killian moving, I finally turned to look at him only to find out his attention was on the uniform guard approaching us where we stood at the steps landing that led into the building. I glanced down at my phone, hoping to see a missed call from one of my parents but nothing. I couldn’t help but wonder what form of distraction Killian got them hooked on this time around. “Alpha, Gamma…” The guard's voice pulled me out of my thoughts as he started to pick. ”Everything has been arranged in the yard like you wanted.” He paused, looking around as if searching for something. “Mrs. Moonshade arrived half an hour ago, I’d like to make this known to Beta Zeke.” “Don’t worry Oliver, I’l

    ALEXIA I couldn’t be more relieved when school hours ended, because wearing Killian’s hoodie was getting me more attention than I usually received and it’s never the good kind. I stopped outside the classroom, my eyes searching for Raven in the crowd of people making their way out of the school building but there was no sign of her, usually she would be out here waiting for me. “Looking for me?” I turned sideways as Leo came up beside me, if I hadn't been too distracted, I would have noticed him approaching. “Hi.” I said, returning my attention back to what I was doing before he interrupted. “I’m actually looking for Raven, something must have held her up because she’s usually out here waiting for me. Maybe she hasn’t left her department yet, so I better go look for her there.” I joined the line of students, heading for the exit. He fell into steps beside me, adjusting his backpack over his shoulders. “Would have loved to come but I have practice. Tell Raven I said hi…” his voice
