There's a lot of animosity at this school and it hasn't even been a week yet.
CyraI could tell that Yorick was furious. Mostly, his fury was directed at Stellan and the alliance bond, but he was also furious at whatever Stellan used to taunt him. I have no doubt that’s what he did. When I’d seen Yorick pummeling Stellan like he intended to kill him, I’d quickly called for Zach and Landon to help. Thankfully, Chase had come running too because it took all three of them to pull Yorick off Stellan.Now, Yorick wants to know what I haven’t told him. I take his hand, careful of his bloody knuckles.“Come with me, Yorick,” I say. There are too many prying eyes here.Knowing Yorick the way that I do now, I should have told him from the beginning, but being a second son, just like Stellan, I had worried about his reaction. Of course, the two men are night and day, but Stellan wasn’t always the way he is now.As Yorick allows me to lead him back inside, I think back to my discussion with Stellan earlier.“I don’t care that he’s your fated mate, Cyra. You’re in an allian
StellanAs I walk to my car, wiping blood off my face from my broken nose, I pull out my phone.“We have a problem,” I say when Alpha Arden answers.“What’s that?”“She found her mate. He’s here at the Academy. You need to handle it or the contract is off and you know what that means.”He growls. “I knew I shouldn’t have let her go. This is as much your fault as it is mine. You’re the one who agreed to letting her go.”“And yet, you’re the one who is going to fix it,” I snarl into the phone before hanging up.I get to my car and set the phone on the hood before pushing my nose back into place so Dolph can begin healing me.‘We should have killed him,’ he says.‘I’m not sure we could have. That was a lot of fucking rage,’ I say.‘Well, you did instigate him. If someone had said that to us about Lila ...’“Hey, handsome. You’re looking a little worse for wear.”I turn and see a very attractive, obviously Alpha, female walking over to me.“Not the best morning,” I tell her.She’s the kind
YorickMy hands clench into fists. You’ve got to be fucking kidding me. This tool? This is the man who thinks he’s going to take what’s mine?“I told you I was going to come visit you, Cyra. Imagine my surprise when you weren’t home. I figured you were out. But you were so adamant when we talked about how busy you’ve been with your studies that I assumed you’d be back any minute. So, I waited.” He glanced at her, but obviously realizing that we’ve been together all night, his eyes returned to me.“We got caught in the rain,” she says.“Right,” he says, his tone indicating his disbelief.Cyra turns and looks at me, her eyes pleading with me not to start anything.“I need to shower,” I tell her, walking past her.The tool steps in my way. “I’m Alpha Stellan.”“Yeah, I heard. I’m Alpha Yorick,” I say, stepping around him and walking to the showers.“I’m Cyra’s betrothed,” he calls out, and I spin around, Thad pushing forward. Before I can take a step, Cyra is between us, her hand on my ch
CyraOn my way to find Yorick, I look around the crowded club. I honestly wouldn’t enjoy this if Yorick wasn't here with me. Dancing with him is nice, even if the dance floor is crowded.It’s not hard to spot my mate at the bar, but the moment I see a woman’s arm around his waist, I feel Rina snarl in my head. I follow the arm to Menace and then look at Yorick. I relax when I see the way he’s looking at her. How this woman thinks she can steal him from me is beyond my comprehension. The best word I can describe for the look Yorick is giving her is disdain. The fact that she’s not giving up just makes her look desperate.I see her eyes flick to where I am a moment before she fake stumbles into Yorick. I’m not at all surprised that my mate catches her. He’s got four sisters, three of them are younger than he is. I would guess he’s been catching Alpha females most of his life. But in doing so, Menace takes the opportunity to press her body to his and gets her lips too fucking close to my
YorickAfter meeting with Tracker, Cyra and I return to her room. I was hoping for information, but we’re still in a waiting game, this time waiting for Hacker.“Maybe Zach is on to something with these nicknames,” I say, grabbing my computer. "They do seem to like them around here," Cyra says.I pull up my email and see a message from Wendy.‘Yorrie,Here’s what I have so far. I’m having difficulty getting into Alpha Arden’s information, but from what I’ve found, there’s nothing about a son taking over the pack. Is Cyra’s brother younger than she is? I’m guessing so, since Arden is still Alpha.Second, the only Stellan I’ve found near the Teymoori pack is a second son. Do you know his last name? It would help me to pinpoint his pack, unless you think that she’s in this type of bond with a second son.’That wouldn’t make any sense. Second sons, like me, have to make our way in the world, unless there is a ranked position open in the pack or your brother boots the Beta or Gamma heir to
CyraAfter dinner, Katelynn and Chase break off from us to go study. As we head to the library, we pass Megan, Helena, and Talek.“Do the five of you ever go anywhere without the rest of your group?” Talek asks as if spending time with friends makes us pathetic.“I don’t know. Do you ever get your head out of Megan’s ass long enough to sniff fresh air, or do you just like the smell of shit?” Zach asks making the rest of us chuckle.“You’re so disgusting,” Helena says.“How’s it going, gorgeous?” Megan the Menace purrs at Yorick.“She’s not going to learn, is she?” I ask as Yorick ignores her.“Who? What? Did I miss something?” he asks, smiling at me. “I get distracted sometimes by the beautiful woman standing next to me.”“Damn, that was smooth,” Landon says.“It might be if I didn’t mean it,” he says, still looking at me. Damn this man knows how to make a woman fall in love with him. My own heart is long gone and that’s nothing compared to Rina. In my head, she’s rolling around on her
