Chapter 0406 Her father always gave me an uneasy feeling and I never really knew why.
“It’s nice to see you again, Lila,” he said, kindly.
“you as well, Alpha,” I said, bowing my head slightly to him as I was taught to do to Alpha’s that I don’t consider family.
«1 received a mindlink from your father yesterday calling for an Emergency Alpha meeting tomorrow afternoon. Do you happen to know what that’s about?” «Pm not really sure,” I said, swallowing a lump in my throat. It wasn’t a complete lie; I'm really not
sure what my father would like to speak to them about. But I had a feeling it was because of everything going om; he wanted all Alphas and their packs to remain safe. Exclusive © content by N(ô)ve/l/Drama.Org.
“I guess I'll find out tomorrow,” he said thoughtfully. “You are getting back awfully late.” “Oh, yes. I guess I lost track of time,” I told him.
“Did your father drop you off?” He asked, staring off in the direction Enzo’s car went. I'm glad he didn’t recognize the car.
“No, my uncle did,” 1 lied, giving him my best innocent smile.
«I see,” he said, glancing back at me.
PO er EGS “How about I take you, girls, inside? I didn’t want Sarah to get in trouble for
arriving late, so I was going to speak to your dorm advisor.” “Thank you, that would be great el said, beaming at him.
I turned with them, and we started to head inside.
“Qh, Sarah... wanted to apologize for the other day. I lost my cool and I shouldn’t have,” 1 told her, peering at her side profile, trying not to notice how washed away she looked.
She glanced at me, narrowing her eyes.
“Why are you apologizing?” She asked, furrowing her brows together. “I crashed your bake sale with an ice cream truck.” “yeah, but should have remembered that it was all for the student. I
shouldn't have gotten mad at you for being there. It wasn’t right of me.” She stared at me for a moment longer with an expression I couldn’t read, but then she turned away and muttered, “Whatever.” I was hoping we could start fresh, but I didn’t really see that happening.
«Whoever wins this election, I hope we can put our differences behind us and remember that it’s the students that matter the most. Not ourselves,” I said to her when it was clear she wasn’t going to say anything more.
«That’s very wise of you, Lila,” Alpha Jonathan said from behind me. “Your father must be very proud.” [ didn’t say anything and neither did Sarah.
When we got to our section of the dorm, Eileen Carter, a middle-aged plump woman with curly blonde hair and bright purple glasses, stood before us with her hands on her hips. She was also the dorm advisor.
Eileen was the kind of woman that changed her glasses so frequently, I never knew what color she was going to wear. It usually matched her clothes but, in this case, she wore a yellow floral nightgown that dropped down to her ankles.
“Curfew was over an hour ago,” she seethed, staring between the two of us.
«All students, except vampires, were expected to be in their dorms and resting before classes tomorrow.” vampires had inverted days and nights.
They take night classes because the
sun hurts them. Regular students are allowed to leave their dorms at 6 a.m.
and are expected to return for the night at 9 p.m.
Vampires were allowed to their dorms at 6 pm, which is when the sun usually sets, and are expected to return for the day at 7 am, which is when the sun rises.
We do have some overlap but only fora couple of hours and then we don’t usually see them for the rest of the day.
On Friday and Saturday nights our curfew is lifted because most students go home, but on Sunday curfew is back in place and it was almost 10:30 pm when we arrived at our section of the dorm.
Eileen Carter, our dorm advisor, was
anything but happy “What do you have to say for yourselves?” Eileen hissed, still staring between us.
“My apologies, Miss Carter. I’m afraid it was my fault. I was supposed to drive the girls here and I got pulled into a meeting that took a bit longer than planned. Then treated them to dinner before we came back,” Alpha Jonathan said, giving her a genuine smile.
I was amazed that he was able to lie so easily. 1 It was clear she didn’t realize he was there, and she was startled to see him.
“Oh, Alpha!” She said, bowing her head. “I didn’t realize... I’m so sorry.”
“It’s no problem at all. You are only doing your job; I can’t fault you for that.” She blushed and nodded before looking at me and then Sarah.
«Off to your dorms,” she ordered.
“Hurry now.” “Good night,” I said to her before making my way toward the stairway that led to the dorms.
“Have a good night, Lila...” I heard the darkening tone of Alpha Jonathan behind me, and I turned to see his dark eyes pouring into mine.
Something about him gave me such a creepy vibe, but 1 smiled anyway.
“you too, Alpha.” Then, I turned and went to my dorm.
