All Chapters of The Bet and the Lycan Prince: Chapter 1 - Chapter 10

Aryan-“Aryan, get up or you are going to be late!” My Godmother yelled from the other side of my bedroom door. “I am almost done!” I rolled my eyes in amusement. I loved my Godparents, but they were the most disorganized people I knew. When I started living with them after my family died, I had been the one to get them up every morning. Transferring to Grandview Academy wasn’t bad, but as long as I stayed in the background, I could get through my senior year with ease. The only reason I attended such a prestigious school was because my Godparents were on the faculty. I was on a scholarship, which was bad enough, not to add the fact that I was the daughter of one of the most feared Alphas in history, who couldn’t shift. Being around kids that came from large packs and their parents were amongst the top ranks, would make me a target of their bullying. Last year, shortly after I transferred during my junior year, I witnessed a kid being made fun of. That kid had run out of school cr

Aryan-“Whoa kiddo, what is the rush?” Mr. Slater asked after I entered the gym and quickly locked the door behind me.“I ran into Kierian in the hall.” I admitted since he already knew more than anyone else about my situation, including that I have had a crush on Kierian since we were kids.“Although I have no problem keeping your secret, I really don’t understand why you insist on hiding from that boy. He is a good kid, and I am sure he would understand if you explained things to him.”I knew what he said was true, but that only made it that more difficult. My life was never going to be easy, and Kierian was the last one I wanted to drag into it. His future was to be the next Alpha King, not face a future of uncertainty with me.Even if I did manage to reclaim my family legacy, it was going to be a long and difficult road. I might not know the Kierian who was now eighteen, but I knew the child he had once been. I never wanted to have the memory of him tarnished.“I can’t bring him i

Aryan-Over the next few days, I kept my head low and was extra careful to avoid everyone. Not that I was able to get away from Brianna. She played dirty tricks on me, like putting fish in my locker, placing thumbtacks on my seat, sticking gum all over my desk, and a few other things.They were mostly childish things, but they were annoying. If that were the best she could do, I didn’t see a reason to make a big deal out of it. I just paid closer attention to things and stopped putting things in my locker. Anything important that I couldn’t carry around, I put in my locker in the gym.Thankfully, Kierian stopped attempting to talk to me, and even Liam left me alone. Neither of them attempted to convince me to eat lunch with them. For the most part, they ignored me. Except I did see Liam cleaning gum off my desk once. There was a time when Kierian had been standing next to my locker while the janitor cleaned the fish out of my locker on the third day.I wished they would just ignore me

Aryan-Why do I bother drinking? Every time I do, I either drink too much and forget everything, or I don’t drink enough and end up doing something foolish and remembering everything. I didn’t know if it was a good thing or a bad thing that I don’t remember what happened Friday night.The last thing I remember was Kierian and the others showing up to the party, but after that everything was foggy. I vaguely remember Kierian kissing me, but I hoped it was just a dream. If he really did kiss me, I would never be able to live down the embarrassment I felt.If it weren’t for Lilly telling me that Kierian took me home, I wouldn’t have known how I arrived. So, when I woke up Monday morning, I wanted to pretend to be sick, so I could avoid the ridicule I was sure to face. The best thing for me to do was just act like I didn’t remember anything and go about my day as if nothing happened.Not that it would be hard since I really didn’t remember anything. Giving myself a pep talk, I made my way

Aryan-Standing in the gym, as I waited, I felt a little uncomfortable. Cheerleaders were still lingering after practice, either talking or coming out to the girl’s locker room. With my hands folded behind my back, I kept to the background, hoping no one would notice me.Kierian hadn’t been inside the locker room for long, so I knew it would take a while before he finished. Quietly walking along the wall, I slipped behind the stack of mats used for training. The stack was high enough that I didn’t need to crouch down.Peeking around the mats, I didn’t see anyone looking in my direction. As long as no one looked in my direction after leaving the locker room, I should be able to remain hidden. Every so often a cheerleader would exit, causing me to hold my breath until they walked off.When I was sure all the cheerleaders had finished showering and changing, my shoulders relaxed. There were a few girls that still lingered in the gym, but after ten minutes I thought I was in the clear. Tu
