Admission into Vetals High

Chapter One

WYNTER'S POV

The slap came as heavy as a rock and I fell to the ground immediately, feeling a painful throbbing in my hip. I tried to stand to my feet but the daring look my stepmother gave me was enough to keep me seated on the floor.

"You're so spoilt. Do you think I'm your mother? I'm going to train you real hard girl. What was that for?" She asked in anger and threw a random book she found on the shelf at me. It hit my head squarely and was surprisingly more painful than I had expected.

"I'm sorry. I really didn't mean to..." I started to say but she interrupted me by holding up a hand.

"Anyone looking would know it's all fake, you were to clean the living room not my feet with that dirty piece of trash you're holding." She said and anyone hearing would think i was at fault. I had been cleaning the living room quietly and had turned to clean the feet of the center table without knowing she was already standing behind me, watching, and I accidentally wiped her feet just once with the rag and as I stood to apologize, she met me with the heavy slap that threw me back to the floor.

I managed to stand and immediately backed away.

"Such wouldn't happen again. I promise." I said since trying to appear faultless wasn't going to work.

"You know. I actually don't hold you to the blame, I hold your mother to it, maybe your father was a bit wrong but men can always be forgiven. You an illegitimate child are a curse! You're nothing but evil events and sad tears! Your mother died miserably and it's your fault. And you didn't stop at that, you had to kill your father too, Our lovely Alpha who was so blinded by love that he didn't know he was harboring a little witch! " She said and the words hit me squarely like an arrow to the chest.

Tears of pain and regret welled up in my eyes as her words forced me to relive the horrible moments.

I was just a little girl then and i had nothing to do with it but everyone blamed me. The tears fell as the memories opened like pages of a book in my head.

My father, the powerful Alpha Jonathan, had an illegitimate daughter and that was me. For some strange and unknown reason, my father didn't end up with his rightful mate which was my mother. I was too young to understand anyway.

My father took me in against the wishes of his horrible wife. He loved me like the apple of his eye and gave me everything i needed and i loved him in return as he was the only person I had in the world.

But my lovely bliss with my father ended on one of my birthdays.

We were in the car when we met with an unfortunate accident. My father as a result of all the love he had for me, shielded me from the impact and was bleeding seriously as he managed to push me roughly out of the car. Back then, I had wondered in hurt why he had been so harsh in pushing me away but understood as seconds later, the railing gave way and he fell down to the tumbling hills leaving me with a final haunting look that stayed in my head for years.

And that was how my father left the world.

And me.

Back to reality, I didn't need tears to soak my face because my stepmother already helped me with it.

She had poured a bucket of cold water on me, drenching me from head to toe and as i wiped my face, i felt ten times the worse. It was then, the smell filled my nostrils. It was stagnant water.

I wanted to break down right at that moment and give in to the pain eating me deep within but instead, I staggered out of the living room hearing the sound of my step siblings giggling to their heart's content as though someone just told them a great joke. It didn't end with giggling, they mocked me and called me names along with my heartless stepmother. I was so pained butd felt worse because there was nothing i could do about it.

I stayed in my room all day crying and reminiscing the memories of my father that I had. Although it was more painful because my father's face was fading fast from my head.

I was called for dinner and I sat across the former beta of the pack who became Alpha after my father's death and watched my step mother dish out potatoes to him sweetly.

"You don't eat. You need to eat." She said and i almost scoffed. If i was the only one that was aware, I didn't know but I'd known for a long time that they were having an affair ever since my father died but I was past caring about that. I had my own troubles to deal with.

Finally, she settled down and everyone began to eat silently.

I had hoped that it wouldn't be more than a quiet dinner because the events of the afternoon, were enough to make me break down if any more harrasing happened.

As we settled for dessert, my stepmother smiled at me and my heart started to beat faster. Then she passed an envelope on the table and I took it and opened it slowly. In it was a letter from the Administrative Office of Vetals Moon.

I read.


We officially welcome you, Miss Wynter Bliss to Vetals Moon as a student successfully enrolled who would be living within the boundaries of the school and according to its rules for the betterment of all.


Short as the letter was, it was murdering.

They were sending me to a school at least ten miles away from home and at that, a school known for its notorious students.
