All Chapters of My Alpha Hates Me: Chapter 1 - Chapter 8

CLAIRE'S POVCURRENT DAY"Your transcript is in order.""Thank you, Madam Gretchen," I said, straightening in my seat, and trying to appear more confident than I felt. Madam Gretchen, the headmistress at Carnemore, looked like she belonged in a storybook, but I couldn't shake the discomfort that settled in my stomach as I sat in her office. I couldn't tell if it was because my parents were not even allowed inside the school gates, or because the reality that I was now in this school all alone was dawning on me. I sighed and tried to distract myself from thinking about my family by glancing around the office. Her office was a picture of order and sophistication. The walls were lined with bookshelves, filled to the brim with neatly arranged books. In one corner, an air conditioning unit hummed, providing a comfortable chill and making the office a pleasant place to be. My eyes went to the globe that sat on the table which had papers stacked neatly and pens aligning perfectly.I was s

CLAIRE'S POV"Room 304." I exhaled, staring at my room number. It was on the highest floor, and I had dragged my suitcase all the way up. I didn't know how they assigned dorms, but when I went back to Madam Gretchen's office to get my bags, she told me I was in Raven dorm, which was apparently the best dorm according to the handbook I read. They had a public hot tub, a gym room, a theater room for movies, a library, and a snack room too. I got my key and opened the door, stepping inside to check out the room. Everything was in order; I had my own wardrobe, bed, and essentials. The only thing I had to share was a bathroom with the next room. I walked to the bathroom and tried to open the door but it was locked. I sighed, realizing I had to ask the person next door for a key since it was locked from my end. And I needed to have my bath before my night class which was Shifting and Defense class at 9 PM.I went over to the next room and knocked on the door, but I got no response.I

CLAIRE’S POVThe voice wasn't harsh, but it wasn't gentle either. He extended a hand toward me. And after hesitating for a second, I reached for it. The moment our fingers touched, he pulled me up with ease. I stumbled slightly, but he didn't let go until I was steady. He studied me, his gaze slowly assessing me, while I kept mine firmly on the ground. "Don't worry, I won't hurt you." He said. His voice held a hint of amusement, and that made me look at him. The first thing I noticed was his shining blue eyes. I couldn't make out much of his features, just the confident way he stood, and his athletic silhouette. "Tha—thank you for saving me," I stammered. "You shouldn't be here," he replied simply. "It's no place for a human." I swallowed. "I'm sorry. I got lost." "You must have had shifting class." He extended his hand again. "Let me get you out of here." I didn't hesitate this time. I placed my hand in his, and he led me through the woods, guiding me out of there. His pace w

CLAIRE'S POV"She's such a bitch." Someone said as she walked past my table in the cafeteria, intentionally raising her voice so that I could hear.I didn't look up from my food. I didn't have to. I already knew it was one of the Faes. They had been glaring at me all day, whispering just loud enough for me to hear. Refusing to look sideways either, I focused on my tray, pushing my food around with my fork and telling myself that it didn't matter.But it did. They were pissed about the party. About what Zane did to Lorien—though I still had no idea how that even started. Lorien wouldn't talk to me either. He hadn't even looked at me during lab class. And now, he was ignoring my texts, all thanks to Zane. And speaking of Zane, he was sitting five tables away, letting Skylar hang all over him like a damn leech. Every two minutes, she was kissing him, touching him, making a show of it. And I was sitting there alone, like some kind of social disease. I felt like throwing up. Or m
