Chapter 25
AMELIA’S PO.V
Time seemed to fly by and my days got even busier. ra took me to a store where I was able to
get some things for school. The closer I got to school, the more terrifying the idea of it became.
Kaden hadn’t called me for the test yet so I was yet to train and I was scared of meeting those boys
but the general excitement of going to school managed to water down my fear.
It took me hours of sitting in bed and squealing into my pillow before I managed to fall asleep and
regardless of that, I woke up every other hour hoping that it would finally be morning. By the time I
saw 6 a.m. on the clock, I practically leaped out of bed and rushed into the bathroom.
By 7, I was dressed in simple jeans and a cute top with a sweater over it and I paired it with
sneakers and tied my hair into a low ponytail. I didn’t want to dress too much so I wouldn’t draw
attention to myself but I also wanted to look good and I think I managed to get the exact look I was
going for.
I waited patiently for ra to knock on my door and when she did, she walked in wearing her night
robe and she raised a brow at me fully dressed. I flushed pink because I knew I was early but she
didn’t tease me for it, instead, she gestured for me to follow her for breakfast.
Caleb wasn’t at the table- he rarely ever is. I have stayed here for a week and I have only seen him
two times and they were t dinner. ra exined that he usually leaves very early because of his
job and he returns veryte. Pam and Devin however were at the table however and they offered
me wide smiles.
“You must be excited,” Pam broke the silence. “I remember ra’s first day of university, we had
to drag her out of bed because she slept in.”
A small smile left me and I saw ra roll her eyes out of the corner of my eyes but she was smiling
softly. She picked up a piece of toast and put it in her mouth before disappearing into her room to
get ready for the day.
“You’ll do great today,” Pam assured me with a soft smile before disappearing into the kitchen.

I allowed her words of encouragement marinate in my soul and I breathed a deep sigh. can do this
and I will do great..
ra wanted to drop me off at school but I offered to walk because I wanted to get used to the
environment. I got the main building and my mouth fell open in shock. The school wasrge- much
larger than the one at my old pack- There was a main building that I knew was the admin block and
lots of otherrge buildings lining the walls. The entire campus wasrge and I wished I asked ra
toe with me so I don’t get lost.
I squared my shoulders and made my way towards the admin office and I noticed people staring. At
first I wondered if there was something wrong with what I was wearing but I noticed almost
everyone was dressed simrly. As some boys began to whistle and cat call, I realized that they
probably knew that I was new.
I tried not to feel too ufortable by their advances and I ignored them as I made my way to the
admin office to get my schedule and school map. I met a woman by the desk, she looked to be in
her mid 70s to early 80s but her eyes were sharp and looked like they were piercing though my
soul. I offered her a small smile and although she didn’t return it, her eyes looked kind.
She was in a pin up blouse with a long skirt and she had sses resting on the bridge of her nose.
Her grey hair was in azy bun at the top of her head and she looked up at me as if silently asking
what I wanted.
“Hi, I’m new and I was told toe here for my schedule.” I told her softly.
“What’s your name?” she turned to herptop that was open in front of her.
“My name is Amelia ckwood,” her eyes snapped up to mine at the mention of myst name and I
swallowed deeply hoping that I hadn’t said anything wrong.
“Did you just say that yourst name was ckwood?” she asked looking up at me through the rim
of my sses and I nodded.
“Yes, is there something wrong?” She shook her head.
“I knew your
your mother is all. I knew her by her maiden name but she married Alpha ckwood.” I wanted to
ask her questions but the sound of the printer broke the spell and she moved her expression back
to neutral. “You should get to your first ss, it is starting

I wanted to stay and ask questions about my mother but she turned away from me and devoted all
her attention to herptop. I knew that she was done entertaining me and so I took the schedule
and map from her. ording to it, my first ss was holding in the East building and I made
y way over there.
I followed the map to a T and I saw therge building in front of me. As I made my way inside my
assigned ss, I noticed the guys from a few days ago- the patrol soldiers. I made to avoid them
before they saw me but my n didn’t work because one of them looked and his eyes snapped up
to mine. He smiled cruelly and I made to run away but they cornered me.
up
I swallowed deeply looking for any chance to escape but there was none. I was backed into a wall
and no one seemed concerned enough to stop and help. They would just nce at me and then
look away quickly as if staring for too long would make them switch ces with
1. me.
“Hello little mouse,” one of them teased. “It looks like we are in the same ss. That is a huge
surprise, don’t you think?”
I opened my mouth to speak but then I heard an unfamiliar voice. “Don’t you think it is too early in
the school year to start harassing women?”
I looked towards the source of the sound and I saw an attractive young man standing there. There
was something familiar about his features but I couldn’t quite ce my finger on it. He was standing
tall with a lean b*dy and he had round sses resting on his nose. Het looked the typical part of a
nerd and I feared they would turn their attention on him but instead they grumbled under their
breaths and stepped away from me.
The guy
walked over to me and held out a hand to me which I quietly took. He led me over to an empty seat
and after I was settled, he sat down next to me. I took the opportunity to really take him in. He had
curly brown hair and his eyes were the color of melted chocte. When I realized I was staring at
him, I quickly turned away with my cheeks burning pink.
“My name is Aiden, by the way,” he told me without looking up. “What’s yours?”
“I’m Amelia,” I said softly. “Thank you for saving me from them. You didn’t have to.”

“It’s what any decent person would do,” he waved me off. “There’s no need to thank me for it.”
“No one else stopped to help me.” I hated how soft my voice was.
“Not many people are decent people. Besides, most people are scared of them, they are known to
be bullies and no one wants to be the brunt of their jokes.”
“What about you?” I asked and he finally turned to me. “Aren’t you scared that they will turn their
attention on you?”
“They won’t,” he spoke the words with such assurance and I couldn’t help but believe him.
I didn’t know what else to say after that so I looked away from him and I identally locked eyes
with a random girl and she gave me a disapproving look. I wanted to ask what I did wrong and what
I had done to deserve that kind of expression but the lecturer walked in and I was forced to pay
attention to the ss.
The ss was long but it was really interesting. It was a history ss and I found myself making
notes throughout much to the amusement of the guy next to me who didn’t even bother to bring out
a pen or even a book. At the end of ss, I picked up my bags but then I was bumped into by the
girl from earlier who looked at me weirdly.
Up close I could see her clearly. She had dark skin with honey colored braids and she was wearing
jeans, boots and a crop top. She had an expression that clearly stated that she didn’t want anyone
talking to her identally.
I bent to pick my books and so did she. When we were down and at eye level, I heard her voice
ever so softly next to my ear.
“Watch out for him.” She stood up and walked away so quickly after that and I began to wonder if
she had even spoken. I would have thought it was a figment of my imagination if not for the look she
shot me as she walked out of the ss room.
There was a free period so I decided to go to the student café. I was still shaken from the warning
and I tried not to think about it but it kept settling in my head. I swallowed deeply. as I reached the
large eating area and as I looked around, I noticed that everyone was sitting

I didn’t know where to sit and I didn’t want to feel like I was intruding. As I looked around, I noticed
the patrol guys and they were wiggling their brows at me. My skin crawled and I quickly moved
away from the vicinity looking for another spot. As I searched, I noticed Aiden and when he saw me,
he waved me over and I smiled.
As I got to the table, my smile fell when I noticed a girl walking over. She was wearing ripped jeans
and a beautiful wrapped top. Her l*ps were painted a soft pink color and her hair was straightened.
She sat next to Aiden and I watched as he smiled at her.
She wasn’t wearing as much makeup but she was clearly the girl I saw with Kaden in front of the
restaurant.
