All Chapters of Not my spec: Chapter 1 - Chapter 10

Lila’s pov I sat alone in a quiet corner of the cafeteria, staring at the other kids chatting and having fun at the other tables as I thought about how it all started. How I had found myself trapped in this place. It all went back to the day of the Moon Ceremony. Once again, I had dragged myself out in front of the pack, desperately hoping to shift. Ever since I turned thirteen, I had faithfully attended the ritual year after year, and every single time I had hoped I will shift, wolf out and finally feel among the pack, like I belonged but nothing happened. There were moments when I wanted nothing more than to hide away and skip the ceremony entirely, but the raw curiosity of how it feels to belong always pulled me back. I wanted so badly to experience it. I wanted to know what it finally felt like to wolf out. I had heard everyone talk about it, even the youngest kids in the pack. After their first transformation, they all sat and talked about the experience. It sounded like

Aiden’s pov “Leaving so soon?” Mathew threw his arms around me handing me another bottle. “Come on!!” He teased me playfully and I reluctantly took it from him. The boys cheered me. The music was loud and banging, I could smell the heat off everyone’s sweat soaked body as sharp as ever, it filled the room. Everyone was dancing and It was already late hour. I stayed with them but my mind was fixed on the consequences of my actions. “Just one more bottle…one more”. I told them using my finger as an indication and they cheered on. After the last bottle, we headed home. Mathew’s driver was already waiting outside. They were all drunk while I was the only one sober. I had to be. As he drove home, I asked him to stop two blocks away from my home. I didn’t want to be seen by anyone, I had my own plans of how to get inside the house without being noticed. “See you later captain!!” Mathew hailed me and the other boys joined him in joyful shouts as they drove off. I walked ove

Lila’s pov It was finally time to go home. I stood up, slinging my bag over my shoulder, but I wasn’t in a hurry, I lingered in a corner to watch the crowd stream out of the school building. It was as if I were invisible. No one noticed the new girl. It seemed like everyone had a friend, a partner, or someone to lean on, while I was entirely alone. But I didn't care. I had always been alone. I couldn't wait to get back to my soft bed. The apartment they had given me was small but cozy, and I loved the plush mattress. There were other teenagers living in the area, too, and even though I never spoke to them, I didn't really feel lonely. Finally, everyone was gone, enjoying the peace and quiet of the still afternoon air. I dragged my feet along the pavement, one hand tucked into my baggy shorts and the other gripping the strap of the school bag slung over my shoulder. From a distance, I noticed a figure standing near the gate. It looked masculine, like a male figure. As I drew close

Chapter 8 Lila’s pov Home, at last. I felt at peace. I could have missed school today since I moved in last night but I just wanted to go out. Get some air, and now I’m back like I never left. In the comfort of my warm bedroom, I tossed my school bag onto the floor and collapsed onto the mattress, trying to pretend I didn’t have a single care in the world. But my mind wouldn't rest, it kept drifting back to that arrogant boy. "What did he say his name was again? Ah, yes... Aiden Moon," I muttered to myself. So, he really was the son of the great Alpha Toran. Yet, he didn't seem to share his father’s aura, the kind of presence that felt dark, overshadowing, and filled with dread and terror. Aiden just seemed shallow. Also a victim of his father’s dreadful nature. I shook my head, pushing the thought out of my mind, I got up lazily to head to the bathroom for a shower when the doorbell rang. I wondered who could possibly be visiting me. When I pulled the door open, a plump, short

Lila’s pov “It’s the mating ceremony…” she told me looking at me in disbelief. “Don’t they do that where you come from?” She gestured with her eyes like pointing out to Saint town. “They do …it’s just, I’ve never been to one”. I tried not to look into her eyes. It was the truth. Since I hadn’t shifted yet, I had never attended a mating ceremony. I couldn't bear the thought of watching other wolves find their match while I just sat there like a spectator, no wolf, no mate. I had only heard stories about it, wishing I could be part of them but I had never experienced it firsthand. “That explains a lot.” She turned to leave again, but I reached out and caught her sleeve to hold her back. She shrugged her arm away angrily. “I’m sorry but... where is it happening?” I asked, trying to sound casual. “Thought you didn’t want to be there?” She asked me. “I won’t….I just want to know”. She looked at me with a suspicious gaze “Alpha Toran’s estate,” she said, rolling her eyes.
