บททั้งหมดของ Alpha Reid and Me: บทที่ 61 - บทที่ 70

KIRA:I lean against a tree with my hand. The aim was to rest my weary legs which have been going on and on for who knows when.“Where am I?” I ask myself while glancing around to make sense of my environment. And after a while of looking, I figured I have no idea of my location.The truth is that I do not have it in me to think about it as I push the thought of that to the back of my head and then plump to the ground with my back against the tree that I was initially leaning on.A brief glance around once more while seated and then I decide I should just stay put for a while until I figure out what next I need to do.I can’t believe it. I just can’t. I still want to tell myself that what I saw was a lie but the realization keeps hitting me over and over again.How can my parents be dead? How? What could have killed them? They were fine when I left home today. And it did not seem like I would be going back to meet the corpses. Who knew that nature had everything planned out already? E

REID:It doesn’t. But I was not expecting to be hit with such a statement. I could suddenly feel her pain and it was enough to know that she felt so miserable at the moment.“I’m sorry about that,” I say, finding it the only thing I could say as a means to pacify her.She does not say anything. But her emotions seem to go in disarray straight up. Looking straight into her eyes, I could suddenly tell that she was struggling to fight back tears. With, the condition she is in, I don’t think she’ll be able to hold it back for too long.As expected, tears start to stream down her eyes slowly. She looked to be at the point of a breakdown. I think she has been bottling up her emotions for a while now and perhaps it got triggered when I tried to console her with my words. I guess I shouldn’t have then.Seeing her the way she is now made me uncertain about what to do to make her feel better. I know I should console her but I don’t think it would be the right thing to do, knowing that she doesn

REID:I saw how disappointed she was when she looked book to realize I had walked away without a word. But I hadn’t left. Instead, I was a distance away watching her leave my territory, just the same way I had been watching her from a distance before she almost got attacked by one of my warriors.I had to keep my distance from her this time around. It was for my own good because staying around her was making me act up in a way that I shouldn’t. It took a lot of willpower to resist myself from taking her by the hand and telling her what she is to me.I had to put that idea in the back of my head then because it was bad timing. No way it would make any sense for a girl mourning her dead parents. It would have seemed like I was playing on her vulnerability.However, it has dawned on me that I am taking too long in getting something done about this mess in both packs. I didn’t get to find out from the girl what caused the death of her parents. There was no need to, though, because it was

KIRA:The right thing I should have done when I woke up this morning was make up my mind to stay home and get through the stage of losing both my parents. But I was in no way in the mood to grieve all day. So, instead, I opted to leave for school, which is where I am at the moment.It has been a long day for me. Nothing has made sense all through no matter how hard I try. And to make matters worse, the teachers in each class I have had all day decided it was the day they would call me each time to at least answer a question right in class. Unfortunately, I got everything wrong. And I did not give a shit.I cannot wait for the day to end. At least when I am back home to get depressed through the night and then wake up tomorrow morning to come to school again. Wonder how long I will be able to keep up knowing that the house is not empty except for my brother and me.It got to the time when extracurricular activities would take place. And normally, I would not go for any due to the lack

KIRA:My nervousness was on an all-time high as I await the arrival of the academy head.It has been close to three minutes now since I was told to sit in his office to wait for him, with the teacher who brought me here citing he had gone for a quick meeting with a few of the staff. I even had to ask why the head had summoned me in the first place from the teacher but he gave a negative response to that. Now I just have to wait until the head comes before I can be sure of what is going on.To while away the time, I start to tap my fingers on the arm of the chair. The chair had a wooden arm even though the entire seat was made up of leather. That was what made the sound a bit loud in here. Would be sure to attract the attention of someone else if I was not alone.The instant I hear the sound of the door behind me opening, I stop tapping on the chair. My breath hitches as the level of nervousness in me increase more than it was a few seconds ago. This was going to be hard for me to go t
