All Chapters of Alpha's Bite: From Victim to Vengeance: Chapter 21 - Chapter 30

This is awkward. What am I supposed to say? My eyes darted between Genesis, who looked stunned, and Jasher."O-okay," I nodded awkwardly.Jasher leaned in and whispered, "Just tell me, Bernice. I'll get it right now. I'll be close by, just keep your eyes open."Genesis suddenly grabbed Jasher and pulled him away from me. "I told you from the beginning, don't touch my Bernice! Got it?!""Your Bernice?" Jasher scoffed. "She hasn't been claimed, has she? Don't get too cocky, Genesis!""Oh wow... Bernice must have really knocked some sense into you, huh? Is that why you're acting so weird now?""Well, it wasn't her punches that did that to me. It was her kiss."Damn it!Jasher grinned. "Right, Bernice? You kissed me yesterday, didn't you?""He what?" Genesis stared at me, eyes wide."Thanks, Jasher! See you around!" I yelled as I grabbed Genesis and dragged him back into the stationery store.Cold sweat broke o

 Zach remained silent, showing no reaction to my outburst. Does he not understand that I'm stuck in an impossible position?"We're going back to the academy," Zach said quietly."No!" I snapped. "I'm not going anywhere until you answer me! You can't treat me this way over and over again, Zach!" I screamed.I didn't care about the few people watching us from across the street. They probably thought it was just a dramatic teenage fight. They could think whatever they wanted—I needed the truth from Zach!"You act so cold, but sometimes you show up like you're trying to save me. I don't get what you really want!" One day, it feels like someone actually sees me. The next day, it's like you don't even see me. You treat me like garbage!" I continued angrily.Zach's gaze remained icy and unreadable.Does this mean Zach is untouchable? That no one's allowed to question him?"*On the way to the academy, Zach and I wer

A journal suddenly landed on my desk. I looked to the side and saw Genesis already standing there."Write a journal," he said casually."For what?" I frowned. "I don't need it.""But you told Bernice to write a journal. You won't do it yourself, but you'll get another wolf to do it? What's that called again—hypocrisy?"I turned my chair and crossed my arms. "Inconsistency?""Whatever." Genesis shrugged. "If you expect her to write one, you should."I gave him a quick nod. "Okay. Anything else?""You took Bernice back to the dorm?" Genesis stared at me intently. "I heard from other students. We almost lost our minds when she disappeared.""Sorry..."Suddenly, the memory of me kissing Bernice popped into my head. Crap! What the hell was I thinking? Why did this come up now and make my chest pound?"I was too focused on catching King Max," I said, trying to distract myself.Well, it wasn't exactly a lie. I had been in the woods trying to hunt him down again. My encounter with Bernice was

Why did Zach leave?My eyes followed Zach as he turned and walked quickly out of the cafeteria. I was sure he saw me. Was he avoiding me? Or was he upset because Genesis had his arm around me?"Let go of me, Genesis," I hissed in irritation.Genesis chuckled, which only made me more annoyed. Casually, he half-dragged me into the cafeteria and got in line for food."Oh, here's a journal for you," Genesis said, handing me a new notebook. "You have to sign it on the front."I raised an eyebrow. "This isn't kindergarten, Genesis.""Well, I don't want them mixed up with the other 90 students, Bernice."I remembered the incident at the stationery store yesterday. Had Genesis really bought all the journals? Oh my God!"Why did you buy them all? You could've just canceled the order!" I became increasingly annoyed when I heard how casually he treated the situation."It's okay. Zach didn't mind either."Ugh. I thought Zach

"After Jasher and Zach, who will you flirt with next?"Suddenly, Shirley blocked my path.I just stared at her, eyes narrowed. God, why do these trials keep piling up on me? I didn't want any trouble with Shirley or anyone else at this academy."I don't want to fight, please," I said weakly."You think acting all pathetic is going to make me feel sorry for you, bitch?"Her words came while she pushed me hard into the pool.I couldn't steady myself. My body tipped over and crashed into the water.No...! No...!!I struggled, reaching for the surface and trying to swim up, but my body kept sinking deeper. Water rushed into my lungs, and my nose burned. It hurt.Please, help me! Please!Suddenly, someone picked me up and pushed me to the surface. I clung to the edge of the pool, shaking and coughing violently.When I turned my head, Zach was beside me, his eyes wide with shock."Are you okay?" he asked.
