HOWLSTONE ACADEMY:300 DAYS WITH THE ALPHA-BETA TRIPLETS

Bella’s POV:“Please do not abandon me, Dad!” My mother dragged me out of the house, and I cried out, attempting to reach my father. “I thought you loved me, and you promised I would not leave with her; please give me another chance.”“I am sorry, Bella, but I can’t. I love you so much, but that doesn’t change the fact that you are a murderer.”My father’s last words lingered in my mind for hours as Alpha Fredrick, the leader of the Frost Pack and my stepfather, drove my mother and me through the hills to their territory in the southern region of Moonfire.I never would have guessed that I would end my best friend’s life for a boy. But she betrayed me with the person I cared deeply about. Alpha Princesses and Beta’s in my pack found mates at sixteen, and I had turned sixteen a few months before and still had no mate. This is because I am a hybrid, half vampire, and half werewolf.My boyfriend, Sebastine, promised to mate with me when I turned seventeen without a mate, but my best frie

Bella:It was the first day of school, and I tried not to let Ryder or the Lycanthal twins bother me. When I put on my uniform, I stood in front of the mirror to check myself. The skirt was a little tight, highlighting my curves.“Where are you going, dressed like that?” Ryder asked, and I looked in the mirror to see him standing behind me, his brow wrinkled.“School?” I raised an eyebrow. “What is the big deal?” “You are not my mother.”“Yes, babe, what is the big deal?” The blonde girl asked, grabbing his collar, but he drew her hands away.“You have been placed in my care, and you will not leave this dorm in something so short!” He stormed away angrily, leaving the blonde staring at me with squinted eyes.After that brief encounter with Ryder, I ignored him and wore my skirt out of the room to the dining hall, using the scroll as a guide.As I walked down the hall, people looked at me, murmured, and pointed to their screens. Some made hand job gestures with their hands, while other

Third person pov:“I can not believe the moon goddess would do this to us,” Ryder said, breaking the silence between himself and the twins.It had been hours since Bella fell from the roof, and they still had not gotten over it, let alone the fact that she was their mate.“I do not know how to feel or how to control my emotions. What if she dies, and we have to go our entire lives without a mate?” Kai said, pacing around the room, as Ryder and Finn looked at him. “We are horrible people, and we will live without mates. How will we carry out our duties if...?”“Kai, you are overreacting!” Ryder stated, and Kai paused to stare at him.“Overreacting?” He inquired in a raised tone. “Says the person who signed us up for this. It was your idea to bully her, and Finn and I agreed because we were supposed to be best friends; however, if she dies, we will throw away everything we have worked for, and...”“No one is dying, Kai,” Finn, who had been sitting calmly on a couch in the Alphas’ living

Bella:Seeing the triplets in pain pricked my heart, but I braced myself because they had treated me like an animal earlier.“This is very cruel of you, Bella, and—”“You know my name is Bella?” I cut Ryder short before he could finish his sentence.All this time, he had only called me names or, at best, my surname, but for once, he realized I had a name.I watched the three of them, fuming on their knees, trying to mask their pain with anger. A part of me prayed they would reject me too, and the other part feared how much pain I would go through when they did.“What are you waiting for? Too chicken to reject me?” I questioned, trying to push them to their limit.Ryder was about to speak when Finn grabbed his hand and stood up.“We know better than to reject you back, Bella, and that is the only way the mate bond can be severed. Even though we are in pain,” he paused, grabbing his chest with a frown as he tried to maintain a firm tone, “We won’t reject you.”After he finished, there w

THIRD PERSON POV:Fae and Ryder lay side by side, his thoughts drifting back to Bella’s rejection. He hated his life at that moment, especially the fact he had to stoop so low for Bella’s attention.“Who does she think she is?” he muttered aloud, sitting up abruptly.Fae, lost in her own thoughts about what she had done to Bella, barely registered his words. She knew that once Bella spoke up, there would be an investigation, and there would likely be witnesses. That fear gnawed at her, but she kept her focus on Ryder.“I wish I could make her disappear,” Ryder said, flopping back onto the bed in frustration, his arm brushing against Fae’s chest by accident.The touch startled Fae, pulling her out of her thoughts. Seeing the frustration etched on Ryder’s face, she climbed on top of him, hoping to distract herself and him. She pressed her lips to his neck, but he stopped her, grabbing her hands.“What are you doing? We only have about thirty minutes before breakfast, and I don’t want to
