Alpha's Bite: From Victim to Vengeance のすべてのチャプター: チャプター 1 - チャプター 10

"You forgot your inhaler!"Mom's panicked shout from the window made me freeze. I swallowed hard. Why did she have to do that? Now, all the East Bridge High students walking past me were giggling and whispering.This is me—Bernice Jennings, a senior known as the "unknown object. "People call me the Krank Girl, the Asthmatic, sometimes just "Hey You" or "Her." I wish these labels would disappear from my life, but what can I do?And tonight, for once, I just wanted to make a sweet memory for my future. But before it even began, Mom tore that dream down.It's not that I hate Mom's attention. In fact, I'm grateful to have been born from her womb. She's smart, she's kind, she's principled.Mom's concern has never waned, even now that I am seventeen. Since her divorce from Dad last year, she's become even more protective.I walked over, grabbed the inhaler from her hand, and shoved it into my purse. Ew... the thing was too big, making one side of my clutch bulge awkwardly."Why are you usin

As soon as I got off the bus and walked into the school, I could feel all eyes on me. Well, it had actually started on the bus. The moment my foot hit the school floor, I received a range of looks—some horrified, others sympathetic.Their eyes were practically trying to strip me naked.It wasn't the kind of attention I wanted. If I could, I'd take it all back. I never wanted to be famous; I just wanted my unknown, quiet life back.But the damage is done, right?I walked down the hallway, unable to avoid those curious stares.Why couldn't they just say what they were thinking to my face? I'd take it.Yes, I was stupid. Stupid enough to go into the woods and take Sara with me, and now she's dead.Is that what you want to hear?I opened my locker, shoved my bag, and grabbed a few books for my first two classes. The moment I closed the locker, I almost screamed. Zach stood beside me, leaning casually against the locker and staring intensely.What did he want from me?"You Jennings? Bernic

I felt something else coming, and whatever it was, it was moving insanely fast. A creature jumped out of the trees and slammed into Adam. It all happened so fast—the next thing I saw, Adam and his buddies were lying on the ground, their bodies covered in blood.My legs were shaking as I tried to stand. In front of me was a fur-covered creature with claws and razor-sharp teeth. The sound of his breathing made me feel like I was going to pee myself."Please..." My voice was barely more than a choking sound.The creature came closer, its growl paralyzing me with fear. Was I really going to die this time?But instead, it pushed me hard, as if telling me to get the hell out of there.I didn't waste another second. I grabbed my clothes and ran out of the woods quickly. My breathing was ragged, but strangely, I didn't feel tired at all. I ran faster than I had ever run before.I ran out of the school grounds and went to the bus stop. As I sat there, my nerves were shattered.Was that creatur

The journey was long. I kept falling asleep, waking up, and dozing off again, and it felt endless.Finally, the road narrowed—smooth and straight. Pines lined both sides.Then we started to climb, and I saw it: a tall, gray fortress in the distance, flags fluttering from its towers.Was that a castle?A mixture of nerves, curiosity, and awe stirred in me. This was the Academy? A medieval castle that looked way cooler than any high school? It was like a secluded fortress for acolyte students. Totally exclusive.The big wooden gates opened when we arrived.The castle was massive!Three stories high in a U-shape, with a central building and two wings. Luxury cars were parked outside. Teenagers our age mingled with their parents. For a "werewolf cult," this was super elite and well organized.We parked, and I followed Zach, trailing behind him like a quiet puppy."Ugh..." Genesis stretched and untucked his shirt, messing up his slicked-back hair. "It's about time.""Remember, your father

"And what about Jasher? Is he the most powerful guy in the academy?" I quickly changed the subject.My question immediately caused Aggy and Piper to freak out.“Jasher is the crème de la crème,” Piper purred. I swear she was actually purring."This is crazy! Jasher noticed you, Bern!" Aggy walked backward, way too excited. "My heart is racing! Sadly, my wolf is still howling in misery because she hasn't found her mate yet! And it turns out that you beat us to it!""No." I winced. "What do you mean, 'mate'? I don't get it. Aren't we here to study?""Well, yeah." Paige nodded. "But once the Alpha candidates leave for special training, it becomes much harder to get close to them. So you basically have to land one while you still can."Aggy practically jumped. "Snatch one!""Make it yours!" Piper added."And become Luna!"But,Aggy accidentally bumped into a group of girls entering the hall. They turned and gave us sharp looks."Oh. Sigma's."You didn't need enhanced senses to tell that th
