Alpha's Bite: From Victim to Vengeance のすべてのチャプター: チャプター 11 - チャプター 20

I was sprawled out on the couch, watching Aggy write something on the whiteboard in the middle of the dorm's common room. I hadn't left the dorm or gone out to eat since the incident in the cafeteria earlier. But now I was starving.Tonight, my friends had decided to give me a proper explanation about the werewolf world... which, to be honest, I still didn't believe in.Alpha, Beta, Kappa, Gamma, and Omega are typical ranks in werewolf society. Frankly, it all reminded me of some weird supernatural fraternity. The Alpha's mate was called a Luna. This mating thing... well, it was embarrassing in my opinion.When an Alpha wanted a she-wolf—if he felt she was his mate—he would mark her. Basically, he claimed her as his, and then they'd mate to seal the bond.I was a little lost. Was this supposed to be true love?And the love was sealed with a bite?The whole thing felt... uncomfortable.They also explained the roles of Alpha, Beta, blah, blah, but what stood out was that Omegas were alw

It was only my first night at the academy, but I couldn't sleep. Not because I wasn't used to a new place but because of what happened with Jasher—and Aggy. My head wouldn't stop spinning.The next morning, I was completely out of it. I yawned several times during breakfast."Low energy?" Piper nudged my arm.I let out a dry laugh. I didn't want to talk about anything and just kept quiet. I glanced at Aggy—she was acting normal as if last night hadn't happened. Her happy self was back.This morning, we had History and Physics. The subjects were almost the same as at my old school, except for a few extras: Shift Class, Combat Training, Kinetics, and something called Anatomy Care and Medical. Weird.Yuck. Physics. I was already sleepy and had to face my least favorite subject."Genesis, two o'clock, he's coming this way," Aggy whispered."Oh, geez," Paige muttered under her breath.We scrambled to our feet, but Genesis was faster. In an instant, he was standing right next to me."Good m

It felt like my head would explode from all the endless formulas I had to study. No, I really wasn't cut out for this science stuff. What made me wonder, though, was—what exactly am I good at?I just felt so stupid.“Come on, Bernice! Focus!” I muttered.It was my third day at the academy, and nothing out of the ordinary had happened. Genesis was still clingy every day, but I'd started to get used to him—and managed to avoid him most of the time… except during meals.I knew I had to work hard to keep up with the others, so I decided to study in the library. I didn't want to rely on Aggy, Piper, and Paige, who were already trying their best to teach me. Unfortunately, I still didn't understand anything."Oh, God," I whispered in despair.Why can't I understand anything that's being taught in class? Everything the teacher explains seems to go in one ear and out the other. If this continues, my grades will be terrible. I don't have any special talents. I was just born an ordinary girl. C

"What did you say to Luna Dawn?" he demanded."I said nothing. Ask your luna-to-be.""You still don't understand what keeping your head down at this academy means?""I'm sorry. I tried to stay out of trouble. I don't want to cause problems." My voice shook. "But if we're constantly being pushed around and accused of being weak... what else are we supposed to do?"Jasher frowned. "Pushed around?""You push others around just because you have power, right? Why not pick on someone your own size? You, Shirley, anyone!"A shocked gasp went through the students. Everything fell silent.Jasher licked his lips. "I'm not pushing you around, and if you're strong enough to accuse me, you're strong enough to prove it. Right, Bernice?""What?""Fine. I'll let this go...if you can touch me. Let's duel! Right now!"Duel? What...? That's not fair! I don't even... Smack!!I flew backward and hit the ground hard. Pain exploded in my body, and my chest felt like it was going to collapse.What the hell?!

The next morning, most of the students were already boarding the buses when I ran across the front lawn with Aggy, Piper, and Paige. Sleek black buses were parked in rows—they looked insanely cool.Since I didn't have any casual clothes, I was stuck in my uniform. My roommates offered to lend me theirs, but I couldn't bring myself to accept. I already felt like too much of a burden.I was almost at the front of the line to board when Genesis suddenly hugged me."Good morning, beautiful!" he greeted me happily.Paige, Piper, and Aggy cleared their throats loudly in mock disapproval."Morning, Genesis," I murmured, trying to wriggle out of his embrace."Why are you in uniform?"I gave Genesis a look. He should know better! There was no way that Zach hadn't told him the truth about me."We'll buy you some new clothes in town, okay?" he added quickly."Maybe another time." I shook my head."Zach gave me some mon
