All Chapters of Alpha's Bite: From Victim to Vengeance: Chapter 101 - Chapter 110

I couldn't sleep at all. I kept thinking about Zach's first love. It shouldn't have bothered me, but I couldn't stop thinking about it. How do I put this behind me?I used to live such a simple, uneventful life. But ever since I became a half-werewolf and started facing problem after problem, even the smallest things have felt massive.Sometimes, I miss my old life.Again, a mindlink push came through—one I couldn't ignore this time.'Bernice?? Are you asleep?"It was Zach. Oh God, what does he want now?'How can I sleep with you pestering me like this?' I grumbled in annoyance."I want to talk to you."'No. I don't want to hear about your past. Stop bothering me.''Then what if we talk about the future?'Ugh—smooth talker. He seriously pissed me off, but I couldn't deny that my heart fluttered a little.'NO!' I snapped.'Please.. I need to see you tonight. It's really important, Bernice.''No, thank you, Zach.'I shut off the mindlink immediately. I didn't care that he kept trying to

After dinner, we were supposed to return to our rooms and rest, as the competition was scheduled to start at 7:00 a.m. However, most students lingered in the dining hall, mingling and getting to know each other, though many already seemed familiar.As I followed my friends out of the dining hall, someone suddenly grabbed my arm from behind. I turned around and saw that it was Zach holding my wrist.'Are you mad at me? Why are you acting like this?'I shook my head and pulled my arm away. Wanting to avoid him, I pushed through the crowd, heading for the exit, until my foot caught something.I stumbled forward and fell right into someone.He caught me by the waist, steadying me in an instant."Gotcha!" he said.He helped me stand, and we faced each other. It was the first time I had seen someone with a ponytail, and he looked incredibly cool."You okay?" he asked.I nodded. "Sorry, I ran into you. That was an accident."

My match ended in the quarterfinals because my opponents were too strong. However, that was okay because I had done it all on my own. There was no creepy whisper boosting me this time. Just me.On day two of the competition, my whole body ached and throbbed. The bruises were more visible, but I knew they would fade by tomorrow or the day after. Still, I felt like someone who had just come back from war.I slumped onto the front bleachers with the other participants. Thanks to Aggy's persistence in saving us a spot, we got the best seats. Today, I was there to watch the jousting match being held outside the academy.Everyone had gathered around the large, rectangular arena with a wide track. A few horses and lances were being prepped. What kind of match was this, exactly?I saw Jasher and Zach enter the arena and get ready. My heart dropped the moment I saw Zach. Aggy said Zach was only participating in the STEM events. Why was he here? I thought only Jash

My steps felt heavy as I walked to my room. I stopped in front of the door.When I entered, I saw Genesis lounging on the couch and snacking.I didn't know where Dwight and Thor were, but honestly, I was glad they weren't there. That meant fewer judgmental stares, like the one Genesis was giving me.I walked over to my bed and began removing the ridiculous armor."You should've held yourself back," Genesis said, breaking the silence with a piece of advice.Great."I don't want to talk about it," I replied coldly."Jasher, have you ever considered that this was all a tactic? Axel and his team might be trying to eliminate you, take you out of the competition. Like it or not, you're one of the best jousters."I heard Genesis munching on something."And..." He coughed a bit. "...you totally fell into their trap. Think about it. Do you really believe Bernice would be swayed by a single flower? If you do, then you're basically

I woke up to a much colder chill in the air than usual. Was it because autumn was coming to an end? I tossed the blanket aside, sat on the edge of the bed, and looked toward the slightly open glass door of the balcony.Curious, I tiptoed over to the door and heard soft sobbing. Was someone crying?When I peeked out onto the balcony, I couldn't believe my eyes. Shirley was sitting on a chair, crying. She flinched in surprise when she saw me."What do you want?" she hissed."Sorry. I didn't mean to bother you." I turned to leave, but then heard her scoff."Happy now? Did you get your revenge? Just because I tore your clothes that day, you went this far just to destroy me? Even going after Jasher!"I fell silent, debating whether to speak or keep quiet. But I hesitated because I was afraid Shirley wouldn't understand. Still, my urge to explain everything was stronger.I was tired of constantly fighting.I stepped out onto the balc
