The Fake Heiress at Mooncrest Academy のすべてのチャプター: チャプター 1 - チャプター 10

***One Year ago****“You are a disgrace to this Pack!”The harsh growls from my pack members rumbled in the hall.I stood before the trial court, still in shock, still in disbelief. I couldn't believe what was going on. From going to visit my mate, to standing in front of everyone waiting for my fate to be decided.From a day that started off being the best day of my life, to the one I hoped to forget.I looked towards my sister… She was wailing, crying profusely as she rolled herself on the ground.As soon as our eyes met, she threw her face away. Tears pooled in my eyes. How could she do this…How could someone that knew me better than anyone be the same one breaking me?“You seduced your sister's mate,” the head of the Pack court sneered disgustingly at me.“I didn't—” I tried to explain myself, but he cut me off immediately.“Don't you dare lie in front of this sacred court!” he barked. I turned towards my father. He was silent.The cherished eyes with which he used to look

Lyra's POV Hearing Zane Hawthorne, the hottest boy in Crestmoon academy say my full name sent my stomach doing another round of flips. Truth was, I'd always noticed him—everyone in Crestmoon did.In classes. In training. God, it was too hard not to notice him.And each time, for reasons even Aurora the great discoverer was yet to sniff out, he was always in a brooding and intense mood. No one dared speak to him unless he did first. He had a gang of two friends, was sharp and dangerous during physical training and was popular for having the worst grades in theory classes. “Driver!” He poked his head out of the window and beckoned to the taxi man. Then he rested his head against the seat and shut his eyes. I inhaled quietly, my hand dropping from the doorknob. Soon, the car started to move. I tried not to—really tried hard not to. But without knowing it, I found myself sneaking a peek at him. I'd always wondered what used to go through his mind when he stayed so silent. I us

Lyra's POV “Look at them,” Aurora hissed as we strode to class after morning assembly. “The scariest female duo in school.” She sounded sarcastic with a hint of irritation in her tone.I followed her eyes and they landed on Evelyn Blackwell and Arabella Smith. “You know what I heard? Evelyn has been crushing on Zane Hawthorne for like the longest time but you know… Zane is all broody and quiet and dangerous… she's scared he'd probably reject her.”I wanted to ask how she knew all these, but then I didn't want her giving me the are-you-serious look again, so I just walked quietly beside her.Besides, a part of me was very reluctant about today's classes. It kept feeling as though something bad was about to happen. Aurora glanced at me. “You usually tie your hair in a ponytail. What happened today?”“A little switch up.”Couldn't possibly tell her how my scalp hurt from all the rigorous scrubbing I did in the bathroom that now even combing hurts like hell.“Looks great,” she said.

Lyra's POV The moment I turned toward the other window and saw Zane Hawthorne, my stomach flipped so violently it stole the breath from my lungs. Why was he here? Was he already aware I was going to become his tutor? Was he furious about it? Several questions fired rapidly in my head as he opened the door and sank into the seat beside me. “We meet again Elysia Vale,” he said as he calmly untugged two buttons from his shirt, his eyes regarding me closely all the while. “H-hello…” I swallowed. My voice was almost inaudible. My heart thumped against my ribs. “I have an appointment with Ms Beatrice Hawthorne,” I managed, stiff in my seat. “Hmm.” He leaned back slowly. “That's my mom,” he said. “Why would you have an appointment with her? I know nothing about it.” “I–it’s…” My words tightened in my throat. I couldn't get them out. What the heck was happening to me? I didn't used to be scared of Zane Hawthorne. Never. Yes, I might have been curious about him… abou

Zane's POV “Get tutored?” I scoffed angrily as I stormed into my chambers. I couldn't believe it. Couldn't believe my own mother would be distrusting of my capability. It broke me.I thought she believed in me… I thought she didn't see me as the other Pack members saw me. They always looked at me like I was imperfect. Like I was half a wolf. Like I could never match up to my father's bravados and achievements. Did they think I didn't know what their damn heads thought each time they saw me while they all pretended to respect me and smile with their pretentious faces?Modafvcking snakes!I dumped my bag, my shirt and hoodie on the high wingback chair in my living room area, marched into the bathroom and turned on the shower. As the warm water ran down my body, mother's words reechoed in my head. “You need more than your wolf's instincts and strength to lead…”“You need philosophy… you need diplomacy…”My fists curled. My chest began to rise. Slowly… heavily. Her voice echoed
