Chapter 21: Stranger Things

Nivia POV.It was 6. a.m. in the morning when my alarm woke me.I stirred and sat up in bed.Today was Tuesday, another day of the week. I barely had an hour to get showered and get ready for school.Breakfast was served at 7 o'clock and classes began by 8.I felt a wintry cold sip into me and was reluctant to leave the warm comfort of my blankets.Knowing I had no choice but to get up, I swung my legs down from the bed and slipped into my flipflops, that's when I noticed that the room was empty. Which was unusual, I always woke up before Rachel. My eyes moved across the room to her bed and I found it empty.Hmmm.Had she gone to the bathroom to have her shower? Where was she off to this early?I got to my feet and was about to reach for my towel when I heard voices along our corridor."Let's hurry, everyone is outside," I saw two girls run along the corridor, past my room in their nightgowns.That was when I realized that our room door was left ajar.It looked like Rachel had left t

Chapter 22: Miss Antoinette

Principal Jaxon POV. "You're welcome, Miss Antoinette," I said watching her back as she gazed out the window of my office. She didn't respond, she continued to look out the window at the falling snow. "To what do I owe the pleasure of this unexpected visit?" I asked, watching the powerful leader of the Wiccae clan, Miss Antoinette, look out the window. She had appeared on my doorstep at the early hours of the morning around 5a.m., insisting that I take her to the school grounds. My wife, the Luna of my pack, pleaded that she at least stay for breakfast before we left. It was not right for an important guest, such as her to come visiting my home and leave without a cup of tea. So here we were, four hours later, in my office at the academy. "Snow in July, what a beautiful sight," were the only words that left her lips. I knew something was up. She was not a regular guest who came calling when there was nothing important. The last time I saw her was eighteen years ago when this s

Chapter 23: The Introduction

Nivia POV.Today was a school day and we were supposed to be in class having lessons.But the school speakers had blasted from every corner, summoning all the students to the assembly hall.We were all seated in the hall, in our usual friendly cliques, and were waiting to be addressed."What now?" I saw a student in front of my seat grumbling. "I hope Alpha Jaxon is not calling us here to talk about the escortion fees.""He takes a lot of money from us while giving a free ride to the scholarship freebies," another in their group sneered.I was a scholarship freebie, so that made me feel uncomfortable."Can we move to the back?" I said to Mateo, who was seated beside me."No, let's stay here," he said crisply.I wanted to insist, but decided to stay put. Mateo was doing that thing again, where he was stiff and non-communicative.And I knew it was because of what happened with Justin.Yesterday, he told me to wait for him while he went to class to get his books. Somehow, I got caught up

Chapter 24: Pass the Ball

Nivia POV. "Before we start the game, we need to rearrange our sitting positions," The witch leader continued. "Boys to my right and girls to my left." I frowned. What type of game required us to change our seats? "Why does she want to play a game with us?" I whispered low. "You should be more concerned with what a witch is doing in our school," Justin mumbled beside me. I looked around and saw boys leaving their seats on the left to go to the right and girls swapping seats as well. "Shouldn't you go to the other side?" I glanced beside me at him. "I like where I'm seated, don't feel like leaving," he muttered. As if on cue, the witch stumped her metal rod on the ground, "Up children, make it snappy." Reluctantly, he got up and moved over to the other side. Once again, I was left alone in the back seat. When the movements stopped and everyone was seated, the witch reached into the sleeve of her dress and brought out a small white pearl. "We're going to play pa

Chapter 25: Find the Ball

Nivia POV.I exhaled a breath.I didn't know which was more discomfiting.The knowledge that there was another game after this game, or that she continued to call us children."What game are we playing next?" David, Rachel's mate and new boyfriend asked."The next game is called 'Find the Ball," Miss Antoinette said.Oh, so we're moving from passing the ball to finding the ball?What were we? Toddlers?Alpha Jaxon could find other better ways to waste our precious time."In this next game," she continued, "You must find my ball and bring it back to me. The person who finds it first would get a special reward."Okay... That got me interested. I liked the sound of a reward."Why do we need to find the ball when it's right here with you?" Sonia inquired."Is it?" The witch blew on the ball and we watched it float in the air, then fly out the window.Through the open windows, we could see the ball fly away, through the school compound and over the fence, disappearing into the woods outsi

Chapter 26: Find the Ball (II)

Principal Jaxon POV.What the hell am I doing?I wondered as I left my students outside the gates and walked back to the assembly hall.That witch better know what heck she was doing.I was sending my students out into the forest in this cold all because she sensed that the child was among them.If she was so full of power, why couldn't she just point out the child?I was risking my son's safety, as well as the safety of the children in my school. Their parents would be mad at me if anything happened to them.Most of the children had prominent parents in our community. Take, for instance, Claire's father, my Beta, he would go berserk if he knew I sent his daughter off into the woods with a sprained ankle.What of David's father, Justice Lukeman? I was taking a risk by letting that witch have her way in my school.I got into the assembly hall and found her sitting on a chair alone and staring into the space in front of her.Her lips moved as though she were communicating with someone

Chapter 27: Whoever Wins

Nivia POV.We stood outside the gates looking at each other."Are we really going to do this?" Suzanne, who had been quiet all along finally spoke."What do you think, Suzanne?" Kyle glowered at her and started walking forward.Mateo shrugged, "It's not like we've not been in these woods before.""We never came alone; there were many of us, including teachers," Sonia pointed out."Anyway, we have to move out. Standing here will do nothing for us, the gates are already locked. There's no going back in," Justin said and walked after Kyle.Claire and Sonia followed after him. After a few minutes, Austin, David, and Rachel reluctantly started the hike."Are you not coming?" Mateo asked me when he saw I made no effort to move."Do I have a choice?" I mused and started to walk, looping my fingers around my back-strap.I had no interest in this game.I would rather be in class having lessons than waste my time in these bushes looking for a magic ball.Alpha Jaxon was being irresponsible by s

Chapter 28: Not My Fault

Nivia POV."Why her?" Mateo asked."What do you mean?"Justin glared at him."Yes, why her?" Claire demanded, rising to her feet."Why not her?" Justin's brows furrowed. "What's wrong if I want to go with Nivia?""She has me already, you should pick someone else," Mateo returned his glare."What do you mean she has you? Do you own her?" Justin stepped forward, his eyes blazing with anger."She's most comfortable with me; it's only right we go together." Mateo stepped forward as well.Tension suffused the air and I started to feel nervous.Oh no.I hope they weren't about to fight over me again."Is that what she said to you? That she's only comfortable with you?" Justin cocked his head at Mateo, "Or is that your own opinion?"Mateo stood firm as he matched Justin, aura for aura, "You could have picked anyone else, why must it be her?""She's not your personal property," Justin retorted, "She has a voice, let her speak for herself.""You won't make her do what she doesn't want to do," M

Chapter 29: Claire Garrett

Claire POV."Stupid wet grass," I cursed as I waded through the leaves.I was boiling inside.How could Justin choose her over me? All because she was his mate.He didn't even like her.Before the mating festival, we liked each other, were always together, and were practically attached at the hip and all.But now, he was treating me like a stranger and fawning over that albino rat.I pushed through the ferns angrily as I made my way through the bushes.I didn't need him.I didn't need anyone for that matter. I was capable of walking and would take care of myself even if my ankle bled out.I hadn't gotten far when I saw the bushes rustle behind me, and Kyle came into view, pursuing after me."Hey, Claire slow down," he called as he tried to catch up with me.I didn't.I continued limping forward. My ankle was burning with pain, but I ignored it, swatting at the grass as I continued on."Hey," Kyle said grabbing my elbow. "Slow down or you'll hurt yourself. Your ankle has not yet heal

Chapter 30: Claire Garrett II

Claire POV.He zipped down my winter jacket, then began to unbutton my top.I waited patiently as I watched him undress me.I was annoyed with Justin, maybe this would help me feel better and alleviate my frustration.I wasn't even a virgin, so there was nothing to fear.I'd secretly slept with my father's driver in my eleventh grade.That was one of the concerns I had. Having to explain myself to Justin if I were mated to him, because we had known each other since elementary school.He would be expecting me to be a virgin if I were his.It was a blessing and a curse that I wasn't.While I liked him a lot and would have been glad to be his mate, I would've been put in a tough spot. He'll be curious to know how I got disvirgined when I'd known him all my life.Now, I owed him no explanation whatsoever, because my body belonged to me. And later, when he eventually leaves his mate and comes to me. I'll make him beg for a while before giving myself to him.Kyle's hands palmed my breast
