4: Vulnerability not allowed
Ken’s eyes became so big for a moment I thought it would pop out of its socket. I raise my hand to stop him from exclaiming and drawing unwanted attention and point to my head, telling him to communicate telepathically with me instead.
“This is the man you called an asshole.” His voice charges into my head like he speaks through a microphone.
My eyes flutter and I feel like snapping at him to reduce his goddamn voice, but I can’t. So I press my lips together and nod.
“Wait, how do you know he’s the one?” he asks, his gaze darting over at the man standing beside Mrs Adams and then over to me.
I point to my nose, which can smell his scent, and then up to my brain, which assimilates. Yes, it was dark, yes I barely saw his face, but I saw and smelt enough to identify anyone and this man right here was the same as the one I saw a few days ago.
“Do you think he will re

Betrayed by the Alpha 5: When bad becomes worse
A week later, I open the mini-fridge and pull out a bottle of milk, a box of cornflakes and two ceramic bowls and spoons before going to the medium-sized table at the centre of the kitchen and setting them down. I turn off the cooker and grabbed the hot kettle on it, pouring the hot water into the bowls and then adding the cornflakes. I hear footsteps from across the room and I know mother already set for work. She works as a housekeeper and started the job almost a year ago. Just like I predicted, she emerges into the kitchen wearing her blue gown and a white apron around her neck. "Good morning, mama." I pour the milk into each bowl and move one bowl towards her. "Good morning, Jaclyn." she sits and picks her spoon up. "It's cornflakes every day, I see." My cheeks were warm. Cornflakes is my favourite go-to meal, easy to make and also time-efficient. "We are both already running late, ma." I point out and she rolls he

My eyes dart across the room to where Ken sits, and he gives me a sympathetic look. Spencer sits across from him with a satisfied look on his face. Indian appeared awestruck as she stared at Dane and her usual self-composure does little to stop the effect he has on her and when Ken notices her, his teeth clench in anger.I look away from him and back to Mrs Richie’s furrowed brows as she finally stops glaring at me after almost a minute. “Tarr! How wonderful to have you grace us with your presence?”The class chuckles and I grow stiff on the insideShe casts the students a hard glare, and they become silent immediately.“Good morning, Mrs Richie.” I greet with a delicate tone of voice.“You’ve never been late to my class before, Tarr. I’d like to know what happened today.”I clasp my lips together, and my gaze run to Spencer and his eyes dare me to speak. Dane gawks at me like
Betrayed by the Alpha 7: The hope of something better
“Jaclyn,” Mrs Adams calls to me and I turn to see her walking in my direction with eyes of relief, “I’m glad you haven’t left yet. I need you in my office.”Without hesitation, I follow her into her white-painted, medium-sized office. There is a mahogany bookshelf to the right standing beside the window and at the left a mini-fridge close to a drawer containing files of every students' academic report. at the centre of the office is Mrs Adams desk and she approaches it. The last renovation the office had was three years ago, but it looks so good, it would pass for yesterday.She takes her seat, and I do the same after being told to. She closes up the notebook before her and moves it to the left side of the desk before speaking.“Jaclyn, you’re one of our brightest students at UA.” she begins, and that line was what most people used to break bad news subtly.Perhaps Dane already
Betrayed by the Alpha 8: No way out of hell
“The last time you took a book home, it took your three weeks to return it.” I remind Isaiah, the library user who stands facing me, holding the Harry Potter book in his hand.He picks up the pen on my desk and signs on the permission booklet I push towards him. “The keyword remains ‘returned it’.” the smug answer matches his face and I roll my eyes.“Well, I’ll need more than your word. I’ll need your library card.” I stretch my hand out to him.“What for?”“In case you don’t return it on the date you wrote in the permission booklet, I’ll toss your card away and you’ll never step back in again.”He mumbles ‘bitch’ under his breath, dips his hand into his pocket and pulls out his card and hands it to me.I beam at him, and he rolls his eyes before leaving.
Betrayed by the Alpha 9: Nightmares becoming real
Having ice cream with Ken while he walks me home from work on a mild night has been my best treat, but I don’t feel the happiness I had felt those other times today. Ken notices my moodiness while we gulp our ice cream and make our way back home. He allows me to maintain silence even though I can tell he wants to say something. I can read him well and he’s pretty good at seeing through me. How we became best of friends was fated. We entered the academy on the same day; we sat on the same roll during class and lunch break and as school ended; I made my way home, and he rode his bicycle. He could have ridden past and no one would have held it against him, but he didn’t. When he rode to where I was, he introduced himself to me and I did the same. He told me he didn’t believe it was a coincidence that we resumed school the same day and shared the same seats and went home the same way. He believed fate wanted us to be friends, and I didn’t argu
Betrayed by the Alpha 10: The choices made
“Jaclyn! You need to come downstairs or the soup will get cold!” mama’s tiny voice penetrates my almost unconscious mind.My eyes snap open and I find myself alone, with no trace of Dane anywhere in the shower or bathroom. I look down at my hands, that had blood all over it earlier and the floor, but I see no stain trail anywhere.I gasp for air and slump against the bathroom wall. I drop on the cold wet floor, terrified to death and trembling uncontrollably.Was it a dream? Because I’m here in the shower unharmed.It felt so real.I’ve had nightmares of Dane before, but none of them felt this real and affected me this way.He meant it. He hasn’t finished with me yet.Gaining a little control over my trembling body, I reach for my towel hanging on the wall and wrap it around my body before stepping out.I sit in the dining chair six minutes later, and mama passes
Betrayed by the Alpha 11: Expecting the unexpected
A week later, I open the door to leave for school and Ken stood before me. Startled, I frown at him. He had not informed me about his coming, so it indeed surprised me to see him.“What are you doing here?”“I came so we can walk to school together,” he beamed at me.“You could have waited at your place. I always walk by every morning.” I point out.He stuffs his hands into his pocket and stretches a little. “You’ve walked past without me noticing this past week. So I thought it best to come to your place instead.”I would say I am avoiding him, more of trying to help him move on so that if anything happened to me, he would not be so broken-hearted about it.The attack I faced in the bathroom was the first, but not the last. Every day in the last week, Dane has attacked me. In the bath
Betrayed by the Alpha 12: Attack of the bully
“Why is my name on the list? Isn’t Dane satisfied with the torture I’ve already been through this past week?” I demand, storming away from the notice board and brushing past a few students in the process.What is his plan?What else does he hope to gain?My life is already hell!My head race with so many thoughts.“You need to calm down and also please slow down. The students are going to think something is wrong with you.”“That’s it, Ken, something is wrong with me. My life is literally falling apart and any day might just be my last day on earth and it’s all thanks to alpha Dane Vixon, so why on earth am I on his list?” tears well up in my eyes, but I blink it back while ignoring the students that give me a funny look.“This isn’t his list, JT. This is the list of the most outstanding students in this school chosen to be part of the project an
