Semua Bab The Alpha Heiress: Lycan's True Mate: Bab 71 - Bab 80

DAISY The sweet aroma of fresh espresso and vanilla pastries wafts into my senses, the combination making me relax as I watch people going about their businesses in the café. I am sitting with Dylan and his friends at their usual corner table near a window, my latte untouched.About five minutes ago, Ria and Suzy excused themselves to the restroom, leaving me alone with Dylan, Adam, and James. I should be reviewing the Lunar Ascent prototype back in my dorm, but instead, I am nursing this caramel latte and half-listening to James complain about something that sounds so familiar.“Guys, the GhostRay challenge has been open for over a month now, and I’ve almost cracked the third layer encryption,” he announces, my heart suddenly flipping at his words.Instantly, I maintain a straight face, taking a slow sip of my latte to hide the smile threatening to break free across my face. I didn't know James is a participant in the challenge, but that's good to hear.“James, not this again,” Adam

DAISYAfter spending hours working with Ria and Suzy, I let them sleep before I leave for the academy's main library to check out some information related to our work. It's evening already, and inside the library, I discover that what I'm looking for lies in the restricted section of the library.The librarian is asleep, a woman who looks like she's in her late thirties and loves her job even though she is currently tired. I easily slip past her and enter the restricted section, coming face to face with lots of bookshelves and the weird smell of books scenting like they were sprayed with something like alcohol. Or maybe, it has to do with whatever cleaning reagent being used to clean and maintain the books. Carefully, I take my time going through each shelf until I finally find what I am looking for: an old original manuscript about tactical formations in combat dated back to 1847. “Yes,” I mutter happily to myself and quickly grab the treasure before crouching down between two tow

DAISY Outside, the night air instantly hits my face, the breeze cold and inviting on my skin. Stars are scattered across the sky like diamonds on black velvet, and campus is quiet because most students are already in their dorms.“This way,” Liam’s hand tightens around mine and we are moving again, walking across the lawn towards a black luxurious car.“Is that your ride?” I ask.“Yes.”“It looks nice.”“Thanks. It's a birthday gift from my mom,” he says in such a happy voice that suddenly makes me want to meet his mom.No Daisy. Snap out of it.“Please tell me where we are going,” I insist.“Are you scared?” He challenges me with that infuriating smirk back in place.“No,” I scoff, pulling back slightly. “I just want to know what the heck we’re doing.”“We’re letting go,” he pauses and turns to face me fully, both hands coming up to cup my face. His touch is warm, gentle, reverent like I am something precious. “Daisy, for one hour, we are not the Alpha’s daughter or the Lycan Prince

YVONNE Three weeks. Three miserable weeks of being away and stuck at my father’s pack, playing the dutiful daughter while helping my mother recover from her “mysterious illness.”Mysterious my ass. She overdosed on sleeping pills because she couldn’t stand being married to my father anymore, but we can’t say that out loud. The Moore family does not air its dirty laundry.We maintain appearances.“Finally,” Bryson mutters from the couch where he has dumped himself, not bothering to look up from his phone. He is sprawled out like he owns the place with his white shirt wrinkled and his eyes rounded with dark circles. He traveled with me, so he looks just as miserable as I feel.But indeed, we are finally back.I drop my suitcase by the door of our dorm suite and head over to the bed. On arrival, I collapse on the mattress and kick off my shoes, my feet instantly feeling relieved. Those devilish heels I wore to impress my father’s associates have left blisters on me that are healing now,

DAISYWe file out of the auditorium with Dylan, Adam and James behind us in the crowd. The noise is deafening as students continue whispering loudly, and I know, without a single doubt, that what happened here today is going to be peddled around the academy and beyond for so long until another scandal takes the spotlight.Outside, we arrive at the end of the stairs and start heading towards our classes. Dylan and his friends are the first to separate from us. Ria and Suzy bid them their goodbyes, me included, and together, the three of us start walking in the direction of our own class, passing through one of the empty hallways behind the library.“DAISY YOU BITCH!”Yvonne.Her shriek voice has me spinning around, Ria and Suzy tensing beside me. Yvonne is storming towards us, and her face is twisted with anger and a murderous look that makes her eyes red enough to kill. Bryson is right behind her, also marching towards us in anger.Fuck.My stomach drops but I stand my ground, and whe
