Filed To Story: Falling for the Alpha As a Student Novel
I asked, narrowing my eyes at the back of her blonde head.
She turned in perfect posture and peered up at me from the couch. Her ocean-blue eyes batted in my direction and her perfect cherry-red lips tilted upward in a coy smile.
“Oh, hello, Lila,”
she said, placing the book on the table. “How are you this evening?”
“What are you doing in here?”
I asked, furrowing my brows together. “Where’s Miss Carter?”
“Oh, Eileen?”
she asked, seemingly innocent, but I could see through her easily. “She’s in a meeting with the Alpha and the headmaster. I hope she’s not in too much trouble. It’s a shame she allowed one of her students to leave last night… resulting in a serious injury.”
“She didn’t let Rachel leave,”
Becca said, folding her arms across her chest. “Rachel snuck out the window.”
“Or so you say,”
Miss Tinsel said, raising her brows. “But under further examination, Rachel’s window was locked from the inside. It would have been impossible to escape through the window.”
My heart fell into my stomach.
That couldn’t have been true.
How could Rachel have walked out the front door without anyone noticing?
That nasty feeling was returning to the pit of my stomach.
“I would have never allowed that to happen with my students,”
Miss Tinsel said, flipping her long and silky hair behind her shoulder. “If I were them, I’d fire you immediately. But with this school, who knows what’s going to happen.”
“Come on,”
Alex said harshly before I could speak another word.
I wanted to tell Miss Tinsel off, though I knew it wasn’t in my best interest to do that. Whatever was going on around this school was already destroying it, I wasn’t going to partake in destroying the rest of my education here.
“We should get Brody,”
Becca said, tugging at her fingers nervously.
I nodded in agreement.
“And Kayla,”
I added.
“If we get Brody and Kayla, then we are going to need to get Sarah as well,”
Becca stated. “Because Brody is her mate and won’t go without her and Kayla is her roommate, and they seem to be getting along well.”
I nodded.
“If you want to get Luis, that would be okay too,”
I said, peering over at her.
She gave me a surprised look.
“Are you sure?”
She asked.
I smiled at her.
“Of course, Becca,”
I said in return.
She looked relieved by that, and she couldn’t hide her big smile. It made me laugh.
“I’ll call him,”
she said, pulling out her phone.
“While you’re at it, give Brody a call too,”
I said to her.
“Will do.”
Alex waited in the hallway while Becca went into our dorm, and I knocked on Sarah and Kayla’s door.
It was Kayla who answered, her eyes were large and filled with tears. She looked surprised to see me but once she recovered, she threw her arms around me and began to sob. I was shocked and confused at first, but then I remembered that nobody was updated on the Rachel situation.
“Word has gotten around about Rachel,”
she sobbed into my shirt. “I can’t believe it… did she come out of surgery?”
“Yes,”
I answered, hugging her back. “She’s going to make a fine recovery. Her father is with her now.”
Kayla let out another sob before releasing me.
“She’s really going to be okay?”
She asked, trembling and wiping her tears.
“Yes,”
I assured her. “She’s not awake yet, but the doctors think she will make a full recovery.”
Kayla let out a sigh of relief.
“Did you hear that, Sarah? Rachel is going to be okay!”
Kayla said, peering over at Sarah who was sitting on the couch.
Her eyes were red, and it was obvious she’d been crying too, which was insanely surprising to me. I didn’t think Sarah would care that much about Rachel’s well-being.
But she tried to hide the fact that she’d been crying. She quickly stood to her feet when she saw me.
“Have you been upset?”
I asked her, raising my eyebrows in surprise.
She rolled her eyes, folding her arms across her chest.
“I’m upset about the entire situation,”
she muttered. “It’s all just fucked up and my father won’t tell me anything. I have to resort to getting my information from Brody. I don’t like being on the outside.”
“Well, now you don’t have to be,”
I told her, giving her a small smile. “I want you both to come with me and Becca to Enzo’s packhouse until Sunday.”
They looked at one another surprised.
“Why?’ Kayla was the one to ask.
“I’ll explain the entire story of what happened with Rachel on the way there, but we don’t think it’s safe of us here. Anyone close to Rachel could be in danger,”
I told them. “I don’t want to scare anyone, but I need you both to pack a bag and come with me.”
“Okay,”
Kayla answered quickly. “We will pack.”
I smiled my thanks to her.
“We are calling Brody too,”
I said, glancing at Sarah.
