All Chapters of The One True Alpha: Chapter 31 - Chapter 40

~ A M E L I A ~  Gabriel and I wandered through the forest, trying to find the listed plants Mr Hatchett wanted us to find for our project. Luckily, he wasn’t expecting us to hunt down any of the lethal plants; for those, we just had to write detailed descriptions of their uses in herbal healing and witchcraft. I hooked and twisted my fingers together, waiting for Gabriel to ask what I knew he wanted to ask, from my interaction with Everett at their manor. Finally, he spoke with a sigh, running his fingers through his blue-black hair, ‘Amelia, what the hell did you do? What was Everett talking about earlier?’ Clearing my throat, ‘I lost a bet—’‘Why the hell are you making bets with him?’ Gabriel raised his voice,

~ E V E R E T T ~  ‘No, no, no. Not a chance. Over my dead body, which may be a lot sooner if I get on that thing,’ Amelia said sternly, staring at my motorcycle. She was lucky I was offering to take her on this one. It was my favourite, and I didn’t let anyone ride it. Black all over with staggering red detailing, my favourite colour. It was a thing of beauty. I shrugged, ‘It’s either this or you can walk home.’She whipped her head towards me, glaring at me, ‘I changed my mind, a car is fine.’ ‘It’s in the shop,’ I lied, trying to hold back my overly pleased grin, but seeing her annoyed thrilled me a little too much. Amelia huffed, ‘Then I’ll walk,’ she took a few steps forwar

~ A M E L I A ~This was the first time I was thankful to have the same nightmare. The fire was burning around me. Screaming. Babies screaming. It made me sick to my stomach, knowing those screams were babies. Well, that is if my nightmare is about the news report Hudson and I read last week. I don’t know if it was my imagination tampering with the dream, but it was like that report defined the details of my nightmare for me. The surrounding area looked like a hospital, the bright lights, block muted colours with a touch of blue. I could even smell the high-grade bleach they used to clean the area. No. My imagination must have been tampering with the dream. Why would I be dreaming about myself in the hospital? All the babies died that night. Unless it was a message for me. Something in this dream was telling me that this was why I was sent away, why I didn’t get to grow up with my birth parents… I felt like my skin was on fire, the flames were inching closer and closer. My bo

~ A M E L I A ~ My body ached. As I stood by my locker, shuffling through all my books to find my notebook for science, each and every fibre of my body was screaming in agony. Damn, Everett and his stupid intense training. ‘So…’ Sammy appeared at my side, leaning against the lockers, ‘I heard you had an eventful last few days.’ I dropped my head back, glaring at the ceiling in frustration, and sighed, ‘Who told you?’‘Kaylee, who heard from Gabriel. The better question is, why didn’t you tell me?’ She grabbed my shoulder, making me look at her.Shrugging and shaking my head, ‘I was ashamed, Everett brings out a side of me I don’t like. He m

~ A M E L I A ~ Friday, at last!I was so excited all week that my friends were coming over and about what other things I was hoping to follow after the party… with Hudson. Biting my lip thinking about our brief moment of intimacy on my front porch earlier this week, I had to cover my mouth to stop myself from blushing and going crazy in a spiral of thoughts. Sammy shut her locker, ‘Okay, so Kaylee and I are going to go grab some bits, then head to yours right after— are you blushing?’Wide-eyed, ‘No!’ I shifted closer towards my locker.She giggled, ‘What are you thinking about? Or should I say who?’ Glaring back at her, ‘Shut up,’ I laughed and went back to rummaging through my locker, &ls
