Chapter 251


    Chapter 251 Surprise


    L’s POV


    It’s been an hour and Rachel hasn’t left her room. I felt awful for upsetting her. She was right; I had no


    right to question her like that. I’m not sure what came over me and I felt so ashamed. Ba was


    already in bed sleeping and I could see the faint light under Rachel’s door, indicating that she was


    awake, I knocked on her door lightly and I heard her faint voice saying, “Come in.” I took a deep breath


    before opening the door and poking my head in. She was curled up on her bed and her eyes were red


    like she’s been crying. It made my heart squeeze painfully in my chest; I had hurt her. “Hey..” I said


    softly. When she didn’t say anything, I stepped into her room. “Rachel, I’m so sorry.” I breathed,


    shutting the door behind me. “I was a total monster, and you didn’t deserve that. You were right; it


    wasn’t my business. He’s your father and I don’t have a right to tell you what to do.” “He wants to have


    a better rtionship with me..” she murmured, lowering her gaze. “I want to give him a chance to


    redeem himself.” “I understand thatpletely. I’m sorry I gave you the third degree…” “I know you


    don’t trust Alpha Jonathan, but he’s not that bad, L. He saved my father’s business. Without him, my


    father would have gone bankrupt. We owe him a lot for that,” she said, meeting my eyes. Suddenly, I


    was getting a weird feeling. Alpha Jonathan always had an alternative motive when it came to things


    like that. He’s a wealthy businessman and owns basically everything: what would he want with a small


    restaurant that was on the verge of bankruptcy? I wanted to ask her, but I decided it was probably


    better if I didn’t. So, I kept my mouth shut. “Can you please just give them a chance? For me?” I


    sighed, not wanting to argue with her anymore. “Sure,” I said, forcing a small smile. “I will give them a


    chance, for you.” She smiled widely at me and leaped to her feet, running toward me and wrapping her


    arms around me. Thank you, L,” she breathed. I hugged her back, but I couldn’t shake that nasty


    feeling that was bubbling in the pit of my stomach.


    The next day.


    It was finally Saturday, which meant I had two days to prepare for my first real studentmittee


    meeting of the year. I was beyond excited but also incredibly nervous. I learned a lot about these things


    from my father. When I was young. I used to sit in on his Alpha meetings, so I knew how to speak in


    front of small crowds and get my points across effectively.I just hoped enough students wanted to join


    themittee. I was going to need a handful of students if I wanted thismittee to be sessful.


    Rachel finally agreed to be a part of it;st year she wanted no part in it. But this year she wanted to


    join. I also had Brody, Ba, and a couple of others who were a part of themitteest year. But so


    far nobody else has asked to join, which made me nervous. “How about we create flyers?” Ba


    suggested. We sat in the dining hall eating our breakfast and talking about themittee. Rachel


    hadn’t joined us yet, but at the table sat Brody, Ba, and our new fairy friend, Kay. She had just told


    me she wanted to join as well, so at least we were one person closer to having a fullmittee. I


    wanted at least 10 members and so far, we had 7. “That’s a great idea.” I said, writing that down in the


    notebook that sat beside my te. Every Saturday the dining hall had a buffet for breakfast. It


    consisted of every breakfast food imaginable. Most of the time I’m usually in the calypso pack by now,


    but Enzo had a few things to do this morning, and I wanted to brainstorm some of Monday’s meeting


    with my friends, so we decided not to return untilter this afternoon. My father was still at the pack


    interrogating Xander and searching for Jazzy with the warriors. My mother was still in the rogue vige


    keeping the shield in ce while Hazel recovers in the hospital. It won’t be long now until she can


    return to the vige herself and my mother can return to the Nova pack. I’m sure she’s probably


    exhausted and missing my father terribly. I looked at Kay who was nibbling on her fruit sd. “Did you


    get your abilities back yet?” I asked. She frowned and nced up at me; I could see sadness in her


    eyes as she shook her head. “Not yet,” she murmured. “Has the board said. anything to you about


    when we could be expecting them back?” “I think they still need to figure out what caused them to


    disappear.” I admitted. “Hopefully soon.” She sighed and nodded as she took another bite of the fruit. “I


    hope so…” she said, sounding all sorts of defeated. “Has anyone seen Rachel?” Ba asked. “She


    was gone before we woke up this morning, which is very unlike her. It’s true that Rachel is usually the


    last of us to wake up on weekends. It was strange that she was already awake and gone this morning.Content is property ? N?velDrama.Org.


    “I haven’t seen her at all since yesterday,” Brody answered. Ba looked at him and then narrowed


    her eyes.

    cyes.


    I


    like she was just remembering something. “So… you and Sarah, huh?” She then asked, making me


    nearly choke on the bacon I just put in my mouth. Brody froze and looked at her, I could see the


    redness. interisifying around his face. “Why did you tell me you were mates?” Ba proceeded to ask.


    “I didn’t tell anyone besides L,” he admitted. “I guess it was because I was still trying to figure out my


    feelings.” “What’s to figure out? You are mates. Your wolf will automatically love her regardless of who


    she is,” Ba shrugged as she took a bite of her eggs. “How did you hide this from her?” He was quiet


    for a moment, and I watched as he put down his fork; I found myself holding my breath, waiting for him


    to respond. “I hid my scent from her…” he admitted, making Ba raise her brows at him. “What?”


    She asked. “How?” “Ohhhh! That’s why your scent and aura are strange,” Kay said, staring at him with


    wide “You’re a witch.” “Wait, what?!” Ba gasped. “You are?? Since when?” “I’m half witch,” Brody


    answered. “It’s from my mother’s side. I used magic to hide my scent from her since I found out she


    was my mate over the summer. But when everyone’s powers went away during the election.” “Yours


    did too…” Ba finished for him; realization dawned on her. “She sensed you at that moment.” She


    didn’t phrase it as a question, but he still nodded as an answer anyway. “Did you get a chance to talk to


    her?” I asked, peering up at him. He was quiet for another moment like he was trying to figure out how


    to answer that question. “Not exactly,” he murmured. “Not exactly?” I asked, raising my brows. Ba


    and I exchanged looks before fixing our eyes back on him. “What do you mean by that?” Ba asked.


    “I tried to talk to her, I went to her dorm. But she didn’t want anything to do with me and mmed the


    door on my face. So, I guess I got my answer,” he shrugged, taking a big bite of his bacon. I stared at


    him with my mouth hanging open. couldn’t believe she wouldn’t even give her actual fated mate the


    time of day and that she had the actual nerve to shut the door in his face. I was suddenly angry at that


    fact but then there was a part of me that wondered if she had a reason behind that. “It doesn’t really


    matter anymore; it’s over,” he murmured as if he was reading my thoughts. I shook my head at him, still


    in disbelief. “Did you reject her?” I asked. He looked at me. “No, of course not,” he answered. “And did


    she reject you?” Ba asked, folding her arms across her chest. “No…” he answered, ncing down


    at his te. “Then, it’s not over,” I said, shaking my head. “Don’t give up so easily, Brody.” He nodded


    and continued to eat his food. Later, I went to my dorm


    and find Rachel, but she wasn’t there. I sighed and went into my room to grab my phone to see if


    maybe she left me any messages but there weren’t any messages either. I wasn’t sure why I’d been so


    worried about hertely; I just had a weird feeling in the pit of my stomach. Soon, the door of the dorm


    was bursting open, scaring me. I ran into the living room to see Ba and Brody gasping for breath as


    they ran into the room. “You have to hurry! There’s a fight on the school greens,” Ba said with a


    large amount of fear and worry in her eyes. I didn’t have time to think, I ran past them as fast as I could.


    I ran through the dorm building until I reached outside. There weren’t many students on campus; most


    return home during the weekend or go out around now. I wondered who would be stupid enough to


    fight on school grounds like this and where was the board? The school greens were in the center of the


    campus. It was just a huge grassy area that students had pics on, yed outdoor sports, or just


    hung out on Basically, it was the campus field. Ba and Brody trailed after me as I ran across the


    campus and neared the campus. I didn’t stop until I saw a tall figure standing in the center of the green


    field and then my entire body froze when I realized there wasn’t a fight at all. It was Enzo. “Whaaa?” I


    began to ask but Brody and Ba stopped beside me,ughing. “Surprise!” They both said at the


    same time, pointing to Enzo who stood before me with a wide grin, and then he pulled out arge


    bouquet of flowers.
