My Two Alphas novel Chapter 26

　　Lucy POV

　　the next day

　　Why did I think this was a good idea? I know I needed to finish school, but this, this was torture as I walked the halls to my next class. On the plus side not one person said anything but I think that was more to do with the fact that Jacob was with me most of the morning while he helped with my enrollment. I needed an adult to sign my papers and I wasn’t asking my mother or stepfather. I probably could have asked Tyson or Ace but they would have suggested I went to the one on their territory.

　　Walking into English the teacher nodded to the chair up the back of the room, the only seat left. I was happy to be at the back and no one could see me. Pulling out my english book from my last school. I found a blank page. I would need to find a way to get new books as mine were almost full. On the plus side I wasn’t behind in classes because I was always in the advanced classes at my boarding school and being in the mainstream classes I found most of the work I had today I had already done.

　　When it was the lunch break the first thing I did was race across to the park so I could meet Rayan. Sitting on the swings I waited hoping they would let him out when someone sat beside me on the other swing. I look over and see Jacob.

　　“You right?” He asks.

　　“Yep, why are you still here?” I ask him.

　　“Well if the prince is leaving to meet you at lunch everyday I kind of need to be here”

　　“Oh sorry, I didn’t think of that. It is fine, I can tell Rayan not to come out so you can go back to mum” I tell him, reaching down to grab my bag.

　　“It’s fine Luce, it's sometimes good to get away from your mother, and she can survive with Pat for an hour a day” He says, grabbing my hand and stopping me. I nod sitting back on the swing but now I felt terrible knowing I was once again interrupting everyone else's routine.

　　Rayan comes out before running across the road, he waves before sitting on the other side of me.Jacob gets up walking to his car before returning with a paper bag. He hands me a sandwich. I take it looking at him questionably while Rayan pulls his lunch from his bag.

　　“Notice you didn’t eat this morning or make your lunch” Jacob says, giving me a wink.

　　“Yeah I could hear mum in the kitchen” I tell him. I wasn’t avoiding her exactly but I was trying to stay out of her sight, out of sight out of mind right?

　　“She will calm down once she gets back on meds hopefully, if Ryker can get her back on them” Jacob says, making my brows furrow. Rayan shoots him a look.

　　“What do you mean?” I ask. I never knew my mother was on medication.

　　“For her wolf” Rayan answers.

　　“Huh, I don’t understand,” I tell him.

　　“Dad didn't want you to know, Amanda is unstable always has been but apparently after I was born, mum was put on medication. She has been off her meds now for 2 years. Dad has been trying to convince her to go back on them but Amanda guilts her out of suppressing her, don’t tell dad you know Jacob wasn’t meant to tell you” Rayan says. Come to think of it she had changed over the last couple of years, turned distant and then we started clashing majorly.

　　“Why is it a secret?” I ask, why would they hide this from me? Was I not trusted with this information?

　　“Doesn’t matter Lucy, just forget he said anything” Rayan says glaring at Jacob who shrugs.

　　“What do you mean that Amanda is unstable?”
