Chapter 121: Why Choose Us

“Did you convince teachers to stop giving you high school work? Can’t believe they let you handle all these courses without a break.”

It’s not the teachers, I sighed, opening my notebook. “It’s the principal and that board member. They re more childish than actual teenagers. I don’t get why the principal hates me, but the board member’s clearly influenced by his daughter. I understand her hatred I broke her control and exposed her. Her dad’s an ambitious Delta whose brother should’ve had the position. I’m Beta Raymond’s daughter, technically outranking them, plus I’m close with future

leaders and the current Alpha and Luna. Of course they feel threatened.”

I caught myself sighing again and made a mental note to break the habit.

‘No wonder you want out of that place,” Aria said softly. “That board member’s daughter gave you those scars, didn’t she?”

This was confirmation more than question. I just nodded.

“When we visit your pack – which we will I’m teaching that girl a lesson,” Aria’s eyes flashed.

I took a deep breath, fighting another sigh. The thought of returning to Polaris City, seeing everyone again, knotted my stomach. I wasn’t sure if the feeling

was good or bad.

“Why go back at all?” I questioned.

“Stop hiding those hot friends,” Aria laughed. “Nadia keeps talking about meeting her ‘little lover,’ and Sophia and I want to see these boys in person. I’ve seen the photos in your room. Private lessons on the training field would be interesting not that I care about watching cute guys fight, but the view wouldn’t hurt.” She tried looking serious but burst out laughing seconds later.

“Plus, I can’t wait to see that girl’s face when she sees you now,” she snapped excitedly. “If she was intimidated before, I want to watch her jaw hit the floor. Your aura gets stronger daily, even Alistair and Rowan say so.”

She won’t care about my changes,” I shook my head, picking up my pen. “She’s good at hiding emotions when needed. And I’m not special, so don’t exaggerate. I know I look better now – I’m not blind. My muscles are more define since joining Sentinel training, but I’m nothing compared to you, Nadia,

or the others.”

“When those guys go crazy for you, she’ll be furious, and I need front-row seats,” Aria laughed again. I couldn’t help rolling my eyes before grabbing my

study materials.

‘Let’s tell Taric and Conrad about Robert’s invitation,” I suggested, “Then I can jah the Thursday planning while finishing assignments.”

Taric and Conrad agreed the coincidence seemed suspicious. To keep us safe, the deploy more Sentinels around campus. Aria and I suggested bringing Mark and Cyrus as regular students, but Taric shelved that idea – he didn’t want to scare off the rogues. If male Sentinels obviously protected us, we might

lose valuable leads.

The next few days flew by. Robert and I texted almost nightly. Aria predicted phone calls next, but I kept my distance, avoiding dating signals. Still, I enjoyed our conversations we chatted throughout the day about school, interest, and future plans, everything flowing naturally.

If he was genuinely interested, he’d succeeded in getting my attention. If the roges chose him for this task, they’d picked well. Peter was entirely different – he looked disgusted whenever we got close, which confused me,

Aria and I stayed neutral – neither overly friendly nor cold. Meanwhile, Robert an Brandon seemed comfortable around us, voluntarily escorting us between

classes for safety.”

As Thursday approached, I grew nervous. Rationally, I knew this wasn’t a real dad, but it was my first specific invitation from a guy. The pack boys didn’t count – they always moved in groups that Nadia and I naturally joined. Robert ha specifically invited me, and I needed Aria along because facing this alone felt overwhelming.
