Semua Bab Alpha's Bite: From Victim to Vengeance: Bab 61 - Bab 70

I WILL COME TO YOU I felt like vomiting when I read the blood-written words scrawled on the book's cover. The book had been found clutched in Miss Olive's arms when her body was discovered. Making it worse, it was the book about the history of King Max that had gone missing from my dorm room.The sentence was clearly directed at someone. Deep down, I knew it was meant for me.Was King Max hunting me down now? Because we had crossed paths in the forest that day?Was the king now spreading terror by killing people close to me? Was that what he meant?My hands trembled as I handed Aggy's phone back to her. I couldn't say a word; I was too shocked. Could the book have been stolen from my room, causing Miss Olive to be hunted as soon as she left the academy?No, I didn't want to keep guessing.Breathing felt heavier. My stomach clenched painfully at the thought of what Miss Olive went through the night she died. She didn't de

The van pulled into the bus terminal, where I saw several buses parked, each bound for a different destination. I got out and followed Mr. Dave toward the drivers' lounge behind the terminal building. I could already smell cigarette smoke wafting from inside.Mr. Dave knocked on the open door, and soon, a man who looked about the same age as Mr. Dave appeared."Dave? What's going on?" I guessed this was his brother—they looked a lot alike."Can I leave this girl with you?" Mr. Dave gestured to me. "She's Bernice, a student from the academy.""The academy? Evencrest?"Mr. Dave nodded. "Bernice needs to see her family. It's urgent. I'll cover her fare, Bart. Just make sure she gets to East Bridge safely.""All right." Mr. Bart nodded while looking me up and down. "Bus number 07. Just hop on. We're leaving in fifteen minutes.""Thanks, Bart. I have more deliveries to make, so I'll head out.""No problem, Dave."Mr. Da

I walked out of the police station with my mom, feeling both relieved and irritated. Being lectured by the officer was annoying. I was treated like a reckless teenager who didn't know the rules and only caused her parents to worry.But I had to accept it; it was better than telling them the truth.We got into the car and headed to school. As we passed through downtown and the streets I used to walk with Sara, my feelings were all over the place.The terrible memory of that night came rushing back. To this day, I still don't know who attacked Sara.But somehow, I felt like this had something to do with King Max.I had met him in the woods near downtown at Evencrest Academy. Maybe Zach was chasing his men that night.Or maybe it was him.I didn't want to make assumptions, though. I should have asked Zach about it, but he always kept things from me."You okay, sweetie?" Mom's voice broke my train of thought."Uh-huh." I nod

As the clock ticked closer to nine, it was hard to keep my anger under control. Fortunately, Mom didn't suspect anything when I said goodnight and went to my room after dinner. She seemed to already be in bed.Restless, I kept glancing at the time on my phone. Soon, I would head to the woods behind the school. Every minute felt like torture; I wanted nothing more than to destroy Adam and his gang. I'd already ripped two stuffed animals to shreds out of sheer frustration.At a quarter to nine, I got up from the edge of the bed, opened the window, and jumped down. I ran as fast as I could toward the forest behind the school.The wind whipped against me as I pushed my legs forward. With every step I took through the overgrown greenery, I could hear the sounds of the night animals. Even the pounding of my own heart echoed loudly.It didn't take long to reach the entrance of the woods. I didn't hesitate this time—this forest felt like home. I could see i

I woke up to the smell of butter, bacon, eggs, and milk cooking together. I rushed downstairs and ran into the kitchen, where I saw Mom cooking.She was making a lot."Mom?" I called out hesitantly.She turned around and smiled at me. "Where are your friends? Are they in the guest room? Go wake them up. Breakfast is ready.""They slept in the car.""The car? But why?"Well, with Mom freaking out last night, of course, they refused to stay inside."It's nothing. They're used to sleeping in the car," I vaguely replied.Mom sighed and turned off the stove. She quickly put the eggs on a plate."I was a mess last night. I was just so shocked. I shouldn't have yelled at a bunch of teenagers. Oh God, what was I thinking?" she said half to herself. "I'll speak nicely to them. Uh, what are their names again? I forgot.""Zach, Genesis, and Jasher."She smiled again. "Right, them. Go call them, will you?"I hur
