All Chapters of My Quarterback Alpha: Chapter 11 - Chapter 19

Aria. I stirred awake to the feeling of fingers brushing against my forehead, my mothers touch pulling me from the comforts of sleep. For the first time in months, I had slept well, and despite the scratchy blanket and stiff, thin mattress beneath me. There had been no nightmares, no angry shouts of Mrs Holt. Instead just warmth. Not the warmth that came from the small fireplace that burned in the middle of the room but the warmth that came from having my parents close by. Blinking in the dim of the light, I woke up to find my mother kneeling beside me and stroking my hair, a gentle smile on her lips. Her brown hair climbed to her skin because it was damp. “Good morning, sweetheart.” She murmured her voice soft as she helped me sit up and I rubbed my eyes and looked to see my father sitting at the edge of the bed. He had a towel in his hair as he tried to clean off steam from his glasses. “Did you guys take a shower?” I asked as my mother nodded. “Twice every week they le

Aria. The motorcycle came to a stop in front of the family building I had spent the past few weeks in and I wasted no time in getting off, nearly stumbling as I tried to regain my balance. My shoulder ached from holding on to dear life during the reckless but peaceful ride though I’ll kill myself before I tell Kai that I had somehow enjoyed it. I took a step back, inhaling deeply as I glared at him. “You nearly killed me.” I snapped, brushing the loose strand of hair in my face. Kai pulled off his helmet effortlessly before running his gloved fingers through his blonde hair that had been tousled by the wind before giving me a smug grin. “And yet, here you are. Alive. You’re welcome.” He said, placing his helmet on the bike and resting his elbow against the handle. I rolled my eyes at him and crossed my arms. “Next time, I’ll take my chances walking all the way here.”“Oh, there will be a next time?” He asked, tilting his head, his blue eyes gleaming with amusement. “Good to know

Aria. By the time my third class ended, my shoulder ached from the weight of my bag and the pressure of holding myself together. My stomach growled as I hadn’t eaten anything yet all day. Just one more class before lunch. I looked down at my timetable. Pack History. That was a class I couldn’t afford to miss, that way I could learn more about Ravencrest and their history. I tucked the paper in my bag and took a turn when I saw them. Mia and Tasha. They were both dressed in cheer team uniforms, it was a sleeveless white top with dark blue stripes and in front of it was the Ravencrest logo of a wolf shield with a moon above it. The skirt was dark blue and it was so short I could see their black shorts underneath it. Dark blue arm sleeves with what looked like claw mark designs wrapped around their arm and white sneakers that stride towards me sharply. My heart sank as I slowed and contemplated turning back, but it was too late as Mia’s eyes landed on me and her painted lips curled

Aria.The final bell rang, echoing down the halls and the boring classroom and I breathed a sigh of relief. School was over and I was exhausted but my day had only just started. I gave Maya and Lila a quick goodbye outside the main entrance as I tried to ignore the stares I was getting from the Ravens due to the commotion during lunch break earlier in the day. I ignored them and made my way towards the path that led to the sport complex, where the football team trained. Outside the tall windows that shed sunlight into the hallway, I could see some of the team already on the field as they did warm ups but there was no sight of familiar faces on the court. I reached the locker room building, my heart pounding in my chest as I observed the wall lined with pictures of the team at various games, most of them, they had won as they held big trophies and big smiles. It wasn’t hard to notice Kai in them, he looked like a different person, smiling through the camera, eyes filled with so mu

Aria. The sun cut through Ravencrest courtyard as we made our way into the old stone archway. Lila and I were heading to class after the long talk from Mrs Holt to behave ourselves today. Lila peeled the wrapper off her granola bar as we walked into the busy hallway filled with students who spared us funny glances. But I ignored it as usual while Lila fidgeted a little from the attention. “So..” Lila said, her voice shaking. “You haven’t told me what happened yesterday during lunch with Kai.” “Ugh..” I grumbled as I took the granola bar from her and cut a life before throwing it in my mouth as a student bumped into me and I coughed. “He just introduced me to his stupid raven friends.” I said, as I chewed the granola before I pressed my fingers against my shoulder to keep the bandages in place. I had tied it loosely in a rush because I had woken up late. I barely had enough sleep last night. “So what were they like?” “I don’t know. Weird but surprisingly a bit normal. There’s on
