Enzo’s question stayed with me for the rest of the day. We didn’t talk much more about it during ss
but told each other we would try to meet up afterward and talk about it some more. But I knew he was
right; something had been off about her. She wasn’t her normal self and she’s been extremely distant.
When I asked Ba about it, she thought Rachel might be a little depressed probably because she
broke
with her boyfriend. But she was fine after she and her boyfriend split and that was months ago.
up
“Sometimes depressiones muchter after the breakup,” Ba said with a shrug. “I think the
jewelry she was looking for was probably something he had given her.”
“Maybe,” was all I said in return, but something didn’t seem right about that. “I guess we will see her at
the meeting. She said she’d be there.”
“Yes, but she’s been saying a lot of thingstely,” Ba said with a shrug.
I knew she was right about that too; what was happening to my friend?

She’s been my roommate sincest year and we’ve been close since then, buttely, it just felt like she
was pulling away. I hated thinking that she could possibly be depressed.
Why would she be watching ourbat and shifting ss though? It wasn’t making much sense to me.
I decided to brush the thought out of my mind and just focus on my duties for the rest of the day. I didn’t
have the time to worry about her right now: I had to focus on this meeting.
It was our first meeting and I wanted it to go well. I would talk to Enzo about itter, he told me that
Alpha Jonathan was nning on returning to his pack this evening, so I’ll be able to spend the night
with him.
I was excited to be held by my mate all night. It was much needed and all I wanted was to kiss him and
show him just how much I love him. But also, I felt much safer being with him vs. being away from him.
Ba and I were the first in our new ssroom and we were both excited to be there. It was a typical
ssroom with long wooden tables and chairs that sat in the center of the room. They looked like
conference tables and were perfect for themittee. There were a bunch of art and crafting materials
around the room too so I knew it was once an art room.
It actually wasn’t far away from Miss Emily’s room, which was in the art department.
In the front of the room was arge desk with aputer and everything. There was a golden que
that sat on the desk that read: President.
“That’s you!” Ba pointed out with a proud smile.
I still felt a little out of my element being called a president and having my own desk, but I was also
filled with excitement.
“We even got a whiteboard,” Ba said, running her hand across therge whiteboard that sat in the
front of the room near my new desk.
“This is going to be amazing.” I said as I went toward my desk and ced my backpack down. I
rummage through my stuff and pull out all my folders and notebooks. “I have all the ns we came up
with. I can’t wait to talk about it with everyone.”
Chapter 269 First Committee Meeting
Brody was the next to enter the room and as soon as he stepped inside, his eyes widened.
“This is awesome,” he breathed.

Beside him stood, Matt. He looked a little awkward; like he couldn’t decide if he wanted to run for the
hills. or take a seat.
“This is Matt,” Brody introduced. “He decided he wanted to join after all.”
“Hey, Maut,” I said, giving him a wave. I’m L and this is Brody
I wasn’t sure if Matt knew of me like I knew of him. Matt was a tall and muscr guy with sha ggy
blonde hair and chocte-brown eyes. He had manly facial features and I knew from his scent alone
that he had Alpha blood. This meant when the time was right, he would take over his father’s pack and
be an Alpha. Though, I wasn’t quite sure what pack he belonged to.
It suddenly made sense as to why he was joining themittee; I’m sure it was probably his father’s
idea.
“Hey,” he said, running his fingers through his hair.
It also made sense as to why girls fell to their knees when he walked by them. He was very handsome,
but he wasn’t as handsome as my mate personally, I still noticed his attractiveness and 1 found his
smile contagious, even if it was awkward.
“L is our president,” Brody exined. “And she’s pretty cool. You’ll like her.”
“Cool,” Matt said, giving a nervousugh.
Soon, Ka appeared at the doorway, peering inside the room nervously for a moment until she
recognized those in the room and she instantly rxed.
“Oh, good. This is the right room,” Kay said as she walked inside. “This is so cool.”
“Woah…” Matt said, his eyes wide when he looked at her. “You’re a fairy.”
It wasn’t a question; I was surprised that Matt could tell right away that Kay was a fairy and telling from
her face, she was surprised too.
“I am,” she answered, her cheeks growing pink as she looked into his eyes. “I’m Ka.”
“Matt,” he said.
She smiled pleasantly at him before turning to me.
“We get this whole foom to ourselves?” She asked, eagerly.
I nodded.
“Yes,” I answered, grabbing the baggie of keys from my desk.
I handed her and Matt both keys.
“Key’s to the room,” exined.
“Cool!” They both eximed at the same time.

“Jinx,” Manmely said.
Kay chuckled and went to take a seat at one of the seats.
Brody walked closer to me and spoke in a tone that was so low I knew that only I could hear him.
“Did you speak to Sarah?” He asked.
I nodded.
“I told her about the meeting and the time: It’s up to her if she wants to show up,” I said, shrugging.
He narrowed his eyes at me.
“Were you nice to her? Or did you make it feel like an obligation to invite her?” He surprised me by
asking: his voice was a little cold that it took me back.
“When am I not nice, Brody?” I asked, folding my arms across my chest. “I told her that if she truly
wanted to make amends and show the school that she’s sorry then she will join themittee.”
He nodded and sighed.

“Sorry, I didn’t mean anything by it,” he murmured. “I just haven’t spoken to her since that time you
caught us outside. I’m worried is all.”
I ced my hand on his upper shoulder and gave him a small smile. I understood where he was
coming from; I’d be upset too if the table was turned, and it was Enzo. 1 got that he was worried about
his mate. even if they didn’t establish their rtionship yet.
“I get it,” assured him. “No worries”
He smiled and went to sit at the table with Matt.
I found a ce at the head of the table and started to set up my notebooks and folders. In one of the
folders was a signup form which I gave to Mati and a pen.
“I just need you to fill this out,” I told him.
He began to fill it out when the door opened, and Skr poked her head inside the room. Her aura and
energy could be felt right away, and everybody looked up to see her. I heard Matt and Ka both
gasping when she walked into the room.
I told Ka we were holding the meetingte because we had a vampire but seeing it and hearing
about it were two different things. I don’t think any of us would think that she would actually show up.
“Am Ite?” She asked, ncing at the clock on the wall.
It had just furned 8 pm.
I shook my head.
“You are right on time, Skr,” I assured her.
Without saying anything more, Skr walked into the room and found a seat on the opposite side of
the table and furthest away from everyone else. I don’t think that surprised anyone.
Almost immediately after, the door opened again and a skinny, nerdy-looking guy walked into the room.
“Is this the studentmittee room?” He asked peering around.
Before I could answer, Ba spoke first.
“Hey, Luis!” She said cheerfully. He smiled pleasantly at her. “I saved you a seat next to me,” she
added, waving him over.
He quickly walked further into the room and toward her. I handed him a signup sheet and a key as he
walked by and murmured, “Thanks.”
I got a key for Matt as well and slid it across the table to him and another for Skr.
“Everybody in themittee gets a key to this room,” I exined. “Even if we don’t have any
scheduled meetings, you are all wee toe here to get work done. I am nning on having a
meeting at least once a week. But I’ll keep you updated via text messages, so make sure my number is
in your phone.”
I felt like I was truly in charge; the feeling was surreal. I spent my entire life watching my father be in
charge, so I suppose it was like second nature to me.
The door opened again, and I turned to see Rachel running into the room. I was honestly surprised to
see her.
“Hey,” I said to her, trying to act casual.
“Sorry, I’mte,” she said, rushing past me and taking a seat at the table. “I had some stuff to do
beforehand.”
Seems you always have stuff to dotely. I said; not trying to sound mean, but I was a bit annoyed and
a little worried for her.
She nced at me, pressing her lips firmly together.
“I’m busy,” she said, her voice much dryer than it ever has been.
Her eyes were dark; they weren’t like her normal bright ocean blue. Looking into them made me feel
uneasy.
“Sorry,” I said, not wanting to get into an argument. I grabbed a key from the baggie and handed it to
her. “Everyone gets a key to this room,” I exined.
Without saying anything, she took the key and shoved it into the pocket.
When she did so, noticed there was a light red stain on her pants, making me narrow my eyes at her.
She smelled off; I couldn’t exin it. Just different. But I didn’t say anything to her about it out loud; I
just shook my head and nked at the clock.
It was 10 past B, which meant I needed to start this meeting because Skr had ss at 9.
“I guess this is everybody,” I said, shrugging and ncing at Brody who looked disappointed.
I sat down and opened my notebook, starting from the very first n idea Ba and 1 luas. A fall
formal. We never had a back-to-school party and we’ve already been hack for a little over a month, so
we decided. on a fall formal instead.
“So, I’ll need volunteers to prepare that. We’ll need a venue, preferably one with a ballroom, and some
to help with decorating and catering,” I exined. “We have plenty of funding, so money isn’t an issue,
“I added.
Before anyone could say anything, the door of the room slowly opened, turning everybody’s attention in
that direction.
I heard Ka gasping loudly and the color of Ba’s face drained. I didn’t have to look to know who it
was, but I did anyway.
“Hey…” Sarah said in a low and awkward tone. “Sorry, I’mte…”.
