Semua Bab Alpha's Bite: From Victim to Vengeance: Bab 41 - Bab 50

I saw Bernice leave the library shortly after Miss Olive. I watched her from a distance, thinking she wouldn't notice me.I leaned against a tree trunk, feeling my chest tighten with emotion. What exactly happened between Bernice and me that messed up our relationship?Everything was fine—more than fine, actually. I felt lucky that the Moon Goddess had given me a second chance. But after I marked her, it all came crashing down.What kind of oath must I take for Bernice to believe I never tried to charm her? I genuinely love her.'You shouldn't have said anything.'Borom's growl echoed in my head."I can't lie to my mate," I snorted.'Well, yeah... that's true. But I didn't feel her wolf, Jasher. Still, I knew she was your mate. It's just different than Yasmin.'"Bernice doesn't have a wolf. She's half-human, remember?"'Can't you pray to the Moon Goddess for a different mate? Things with humans or half-humans are c

I glanced at the glass bookshelf, where all the books were neatly arranged. Honestly... I was curious about the book on King Max. Miss Olive seemed rushed, hastily stuffing her things into her bag before standing up quickly."Bernice, could you lock up the library for me? You can leave the key with Luna Hester," she asked.I nodded. "All right, Miss.""Well then, see you later. Have fun at your initiation, okay?"With those parting words, Miss Olive left the library, leaving me alone inside. I stood still momentarily, my gaze again drawn to the glass bookshelf—its key still hanging on the lock.Well, I guess it wouldn't hurt to read the book for a bit, right?I quickly went to the glass cabinet and carefully took out the old-looking book. I slipped it into my jacket. No one saw it, and Miss Olive probably didn't even realize it was there.After locking the cabinet, I left the library and closed the door. My footsteps echoed down

I got off the bus and looked around at the vast forested area. Rows of tents were neatly divided between the boys' and girls' areas. Students were gathered in small groups here and there. Not far from the tents stood a large, two-story wooden building that looked like a cottage and was super cool."Bernice!"That unmistakable voice called out. I turned and smiled widely at Genesis. He immediately threw his arms around me."I missed you so much!" he said brightly.Behind us, Jasher and Zach cleared their throats sharply and in unison.Thankfully, the bus ride had been uneventful. We kept our distance; I sat alone near the front, across from Luna Dawn.I glanced at Jasher, who had already joined his dormmates. Zach did the same. Meanwhile, Genesis took my bag, looped his arm through mine, and led me toward the girls' tents."This place is amazing, Genesis," I said in awe."You think so?" Our pack gathers here often, and some wedd

"Boys, go on a flag hunt on the east side and find as many blue flags as you can! For the girls in the north, look for red flags. Remember, teamwork is key!"Alpha Jace's announcement was met with cheers and excitement. Well, everyone except me.I'd never participated in anything like this before. The rules were simple: One team of five people would work together to find flags. They were competing against other groups, but violence was not allowed.Since there were only four of us in my dorm, we were short one person.Searching for flags in this kind of weather wasn't a great idea. The sky was overcast, and thunder rumbled like an old man coughing. I had a feeling lightning would strike soon.It was great!"Find as many flags as possible and return to camp!" Remember, safety first, and look out for each other. We won't tolerate cheating or dirty competition. Understood?!" Alpha Jace shouted.Everyone responded in unison, "Understood, Alpha!""Now, get ready!"Once the whistle blew, al

My ears rang after I heard the loud crack of thunder accompanied by a lightning strike. It was massive—and kind of terrifying. My teammates just laughed and shook their heads, clearly having felt the same shock I did."My mom used to say that when there's thunder and lightning, the gods are fighting up above," one of my teammates said."And you still believe that?" I chuckled."No, not after I watched that documentary." He shrugged. "If we were stuck in the old ways like the werewolves of the past, maybe I'd believe it forever."My eyes shifted to the ten flags in our hands. It was a significant achievement. However, I'm unsure if we should continue.I wasn't trying to be a baby, but the weather was throwing off my mood. Something felt off—an eerie sense of dread. It made me think seriously uneasy."We should head back to camp," I suggested."And lose our chance at winning? No way, Genesis!"Suddenly, my eyes landed
