Semua Bab Alpha's Bite: From Victim to Vengeance: Bab 71 - Bab 77

Once Mom and I reached the porch, Genesis grabbed my suitcase. He quickly rushed to the car, where Jasher was already waiting.Zach gave my mom a polite nod. "We're heading out now, ma'am. Thank you for having us.""Of course. It was my pleasure, Zach." Mom extended her hand. "Please take care of Bernice for me. And thank your father for his generosity."Zach shook her hand. "I will."I hugged Mom tightly, trying hard not to cry. We didn't say much, just "Take care" and "Call me."There were so many things I wanted to say, but I couldn't bring myself to tell them. I wanted to warn her about King Max, but I didn't want to worry her. I didn't wish to leave her to be any harder."Bye, Mom! See you in December!" I said, waving."Yeah, sweetie pie! Bye!" She waved back with a bright smile.For now, at least, I could give Mom some peace of mind, even if she didn't know what I was really going through.Once I got in the car and

A sense of unease gnawed at me. Why was I going through this again? Once again, my mate had caught the attention of King Max. First, he took Yasmin from me. Now, he's after Bernice?No, I'll protect her. Even if it costs me my life.I slumped down, exhausted from scrubbing the Moon Goddess temple. This detention was brutal, especially since Luna Dawn ordered Paige, Bernice's friend, to cast a temporary spell. The spell sealed away my werewolf strength, leaving me as weak as a human.Zach and Genesis were suffering the same fate.Cleaning the temple was a complete drain on my energy.I spotted Shirley walking down the path, heading straight for me. There was no way she had come there for prayer. She was obviously here to see me."What do you want?" I asked tiredly.She held out a cold can of soda. I shook my head firmly."I asked what you want.""How long are you going to keep this up?" she snapped. "Protecting that anoma

My mind racing, I followed Luna Hester into the principal's office. I was sure that Alphas Gibson and Hartwin would be there, as they were part of the Academy Council.A bad feeling crept over me. Was I about to be interrogated again? Especially after the fight and everything that had happened between Jasher and me, it would all come out soon.It all felt pointless. Why had I even come back to the academy? Just to be humiliated again?But when I stepped into the office, it wasn't what I expected. The only people there were the principal and a young man in his early twenties. Several guards stood behind him.Who was he?Clearly, I had been wrong. Still, being around strangers made me nervous.I entered and gave a polite nod. The man looked at me and nodded in return. His eyes held a mournful gleam."Bernice, this is Alpha Alec. He was Miss Olive's fiancé," said Luna Hester.God. I couldn't hide my nerves and sat stiffly a

During detention, I could hear Genesis groaning and sighing constantly as he swept the dry leaves nearby. I was busy trimming some bushes to make them more aesthetically pleasing. Today's detention was exhausting and felt like pure torture, especially after the fight we had yesterday.Luckily, no one reported it to the teachers—if they had, the detention might have lasted until the end of the semester.Genesis walked over and leaned on the broomstick."What shape are you trying to make?" he asked, frowning."Alpha Dunstan specifically asked for a star shape.""Ah, right..." Genesis nodded. "That looks like a star that burned through the atmosphere and turned into a weird blob.""Shut up.""It's art. I can appreciate that."I just shook my head at his sarcastic comment. He pulled off his glasses and tucked them into his shirt pocket."Why do you wear glasses if you don't need them?" I asked."Style." Genesis
