ZADE
I settle my eyes on the girl who is giving me the cold shoulder like she has any right to ignore my presence.
So, my mom died and then my father found another woman immediately after. There is nothing wrong with having to fuck another, but to marry the said woman, to mate her and claim her, months after my mom’s death? That’s downright cruel.
To make it worse, he invited the whore and the daughter to my house. The home my mom has decorated and made it ours. The home she grew up in. Then she redecorated. The last time I went there, I couldn’t even recognize anything. All the memories, any trace of my mother is gone and what’s left of our family … is nothing. All gone.
So yes, I hate them. They have taken my family away. I hate my father as well. How could he do this to my mom?
I hate him and his new family. I hate them all.
If I hate them and I want nothing to do with them, then they should stay in their space and I will stay in mine. The contact should be as minimal as possible. But then she comes and infiltrates my own space too.
She wants to be here too. She is determined that there is nothing that will be mine, she will make sure she has everything. It’s not enough that they have overturned my whole life. It’s not enough that everything is not like it used to be. To make matters worse, now I am mated to her.
I am not okay. I have been confused before and I found a way to solve it. But you know what? I have never been this misplaced before.
Why her? Of all the people in the world, why her? Why does it have to be the one person I hate?
And now I have a class with her. She is going to be in my life, in my face … there is no escaping this. Doesn’t mean that I am going to just accept it. I am going to torture her, I am going to make sure she feels as much pain as I feel inside. I am not going to be the only one suffering. She has to know the pain and suffering I am all too familiar with too.
I hate that I can’t find anything about her. Sure, she went to human schools, that’s why she has that scent, almost of a rogue despite being in the pack for a year.
She never mingles, she is looking at us like we are all beneath us. She has even declared in front of the whole class that she is not a parker but a silvers.
I suppose her father’s name is Silvers. She looks like her name too. White hair- even though it’s so obvious she has been dyeing it black- pale features and overall looking the ice queen look. But she is beautiful, and that annoys me.
My wolf has chosen her. If it is going for looks, sure. She looks ethereal but should know better to be entranced by her beauty. My father was caught in those claws and now he is a fool in love, abandoned his family, and given all he has to the whore.
I have done my research on her ever since her presence overturned my relationship with my father. She went to human schools, always kept a low profile, and never did anything out of the ordinary.
I have always wondered why a full-grown wolf went to a human school, a boarding school at that but now it’s clear as day. I am mated to her and that means I can feel things others can’t feel. Things she might not want others to know.
The fact that she doesn’t have a wolf, but she had it before. I can feel her wolf. It's sleeping, not showing any signs of being awake any time soon.
I hate that I am now privy to her secrets like that delights me. Why? Because now I know where to press and hurt.
I am determined to make her suffer like I have been for three years. I am not going to be alone in this. Her presence dragged me to the pits of hell. I am bringing her down there with me. I am going to make sure she knows loss, pain, and suffering.
Not one time will she be peaceful in this academy.
Livie is furious at me. Like I had a say in the goddamn matter. I love my girlfriend. We have been together since we could talk and walk. We have been betrothed and promised to each other for fuck’s sake.
The blow of her not being my mate is wrecking her. It was a done deal. I know I should be more empathetic towards her. But I am tired. I am exhausted mentally and physically.
From her crying the whole night because I couldn’t get it up and satisfy her, console her to now the girl who has ruined my life shackled up to me, stuck to me like a leech, I can only take so much.
When did my life get this fucking messy?
Everyone sees me and admires my life. They all wish to be the future alpha king. What they don’t know is the fact that I have to triple my achievements to be worthy of the title and position. I have to be stronger, more vicious, and a cold-hearted alpha to be a leader of the bloody legacies.
Being a legacy is all we have known. It makes sense, being born royalty is what you know until you die. But one thing my father has taught me despite my mother’s complaints was I have to learn all the ways of life.
So yes, I might appear as a pampered prince, I might appear like I have been handed everything on a silver platter but I have to work and prove to be worthy of being the prince, the future king alpha.
So from the extra credit in school, and extra workouts to keeping up with the school affairs, feigning interest in truly pampered and spoilt royalties, and keeping my life in order above water, I am treading on my last thread.
I haven’t taken a single note since the class started, my eyes trained on the white-haired princess standing and taking notes.
She even has the guts to look graceful taking notes and concentrating while standing up.
I hate how composed she is. What makes her tick? What makes her shed that cold demeanor? That ‘I am better than everyone else compared’ look?
Just the thought is making me feel more awake. This must be the fun I have been craving for. My life has been dull lately and this girl presenting herself to me is the perfect distraction I need.
I am going to break her, put her back to pieces only to break her again.
A smirk curves on mu li mu lips. Ari Silvers has no idea what she has gotten herself into.
ZADEI am far ahead of all classes, a requirement I have been drilled into since I could walk and attend school.That’s why I can afford to miss the normal classes and meet my grandfather.I have always been close to him, but ever since I fell out with my father, we have been closer than before. I meet him in the country clubhouse outside Oakland.“How is school?” the tall man whose strength I can feel even standing a few feet away asks me.Our generation has always sired alphas and leaders. We have always been the king alphas, and I will continue the bloodline by making sure my children and the children of my children all follow in their footsteps.“I have passed all the examinations. I am ahead of all classes by two lessons,” I respond as I hit the small ball with my stick feeling impressed.“That is the bare minimum. How is your combat level? Are you keeping up with the training? Political classes that you are taking outside your normal school work?”My smug smile fades as I nod. I
ARII don’t have any other class with the devil’s incarnate which is a relief. I don’t see him either and that should come as a relief, but simply because I can’t see him doesn’t mean what he can’t do his minions can’t too.I get tripped as I leave classes, I find garbage in my locker and I stand through all the classes.Not a single time does a teacher blink or even ask why I am standing instead of sitting. I tried sitting in the last class I had today but then a guy stood up and broke it.He then told me I could sit down.I am on my last thread. I feel like crying but I won’t. I am hungry, knowing that what happened during lunch will happen again at dinner time.I took a plate and went to serve myself at the huge cafeteria that could have been a five-star hotel. But then the servers all closed the buffets and ignored me.It didn’t matter whether I asked them to open or even ask them why they were denying me food. It was like talking to deaf people.But once I walked away, they were
ARIThe most infuriating this is that I don’t care for him. I could care less who he kisses or even fucks if he wants. But then this stupid bond that’s tying him to me is making it impossible for me to breathe when he touches her.She is his girlfriend and he was not even a person I could consider three days ago. Now, I want him to myself, I feel betrayed and hurt.I am heartbroken when he is touching another person and it’s not me.I should get comfortable with this feeling because that’s how it will be. He is not leaving her and I am apparently not going anywhere too.I am a third-wheeler in their relationship. I have to stay and be with him because of his stupid wolf, get hurt all while long as he has his fun and lives his life.That’s what my life has been currently reduced to.How pathetic is that?I lock the door once I am back in my dorm room.I survived day two but my heart hurts. My head is a mess as well. I feel like I am responsible for my mate cheating on me which is ridic
ARIFor a cruel day, the weather is perfect.The cold air hit my skin and I exhale, feeling the weight of my circumstances heavy on my shoulders. I have never considered this to be my home, but the view on my balcony of my bedroom is so beautiful. The vast green rolling fields before a forest line breaks it is so perfect.I sigh when I scent the pancakes that mother is making me for my eighteenth birthday. Every wolf looks forward to this day, the mark day when they will meet their mate.I hear my mother coming in and I slip in my bedroom, jumping in bed and pretending to be still asleep. I am determined to avoid any confrontation today if I can and being absent until I am off to the new school.The thought of the new school makes me nervous but I will myself to be calm when I hear my mom turning the knob to my room.“Honey, wake up. It’s a new beautiful day,” she goes straight to the window and draws the curtain and comes to sit beside me.“I know you are awake, so stop hiding from m
ARIThe limo rolls through the massive gates and a long driveway comes into view, giving into tall stone buildings that look like castles. The school is so massive, and beautiful that it puts to shame all the private top schools I went in the human world.“Do you like it?” Mr. Parker asks me and I nod, while turning to look at them. “I wanted us to stay and meet your new friends and mates but Jacob has a meeting in New York so we are leaving tonight; you don’t mind do you?” my mom asks and I shake my head.“Mom, I will be okay. I will let you know everything tonight,” I wave the gadget I am holding, “I have this thing called a phone, it allows people to communicate when they are long distance.”My parents laugh, my mom rolling her eyes at me. “Look at you, treating me like an old lady,” she cajoles, and I laugh as I look outside the window again just as the limo stops.Some students are mingling at the front and I wonder how I will be received since I am the only one who is attending
ARIStanding 6’5 foot of perfection is looking at me with … hate and murder in his eyes that I forget how to breathe.Dressed in all black, his hands are tucked in his pickets, his perfect body so evidently godly sculpted despite the layers, a sharp jaw, chiselled cheeks, and piercing blue eyes. His hair cropped short leaving the front a little longer, he is so magnificent, insanely beautiful it should be a crime.“If you are done ogling-““I am just wondering why you have declared war on me. I just got here.”The lanky guy who is behind me chokes and I wonder what his deal is.“Don’t ever interrupt me when I am speaking again.”I have imagined my first time meeting the prince so many times and it always involved us wearing formal clothes, and acting cordial even though the only thing that connects us is our parents. I never thought it would be this harsh and unwelcoming.He comes near me, his alpha energy palpable that the lanky guy starts to choke. I try to hold my own but I feel i
ZADEI never expected her actually to come here.She must have been so stupid or deluded because when I saw her getting out of the limo with my father and her mom looking like a perfect family, I knew she had just signed her death warranty.I haven’t seen her physically before, but I have kept my eyes on her all these years since they came to my home. Ever since my father mated another woman and forgot about my mom like she never existed in the first place.Nothing pained me more than when he assumed to be perfect and began being an actual father to her and a loving doting mate to the whore of the mate who then proceeded to come into the house, my mom’s house, and get the title, Luna; the title my mom was proud of.I hated them.My thoughts are cut short when I see her walking towards the ballroom from the balcony I am standing on. I didn’t think she would attend, but she is; walking and looking like she belongs here. I want to show her how much she doesn’t and make sure she regrets i
ARI“What a phony!”“So delusional!”“I don’t even feel sorry for her. Everyone knew Zade was choosing Olivia tonight.”The students sneer and talk about me so openly, throwing me disgusted glances like I am the worst person in the whole world.I do feel shitty but it has nothing to do with the way the students are all looking at me where I am still on the floor, tears running down my face, looking like a mess.I try to stand up but trip on my dress and fall back down again and they snicker, before going back to the ballroom and closing the door behind them.They can’t stand my sight.I have always been alone and I never minded it, because I knew I had my mother. But in this moment I feel so alone in the world when I am left in the hallway. I knew that getting mated to Zade would not end well, but this was a catastrophe.I am still feeling our shredded bond very fresh and I wonder if I will ever heal, or if the pain of being rejected tonight is going to add to the grave of pain that I

ARIHave you ever felt so alone in the world that you knew that no one was coming to save you?No matter who is around you, they won’t help you even if you are on your last breath. When you can’t reach out to those who can help you because your back is against the wall?That is my life.The first days are supposed to be chill, and boring and the new student is supposed to be invisible.Not me.At least not this time.A hot cup of water is thrown on my face and I feel it burning my skin, scalding me that I am in so much pain but I don’t cry out.One thing I promised myself yesterday night after reality dawned on me is that I won’t cry. I have no more tears to cry, and giving them the satisfaction of seeing me crying and in pain is something I won’t do.Even though I want to cry out and run to stick my face in the freezer, I only clench my jaw as I try to open my eyes.The girl in front of me is smirking, looking at me …daring me to say anything.
