Alexa's pov
*Grrrrrrrrrh!*
I woke up in a startle as the annoying sound of my alarm clock blares in my ears... I stretch groggily and glanced at the clock.
6:30am? Who the hell reset my alarm clock?! It must be Micah.. that bastard!!
I lazily hops off my bed and head towards my bathroom, I'm already up I might as well start getting ready for school.
"God! This place smells like heaven!" I said and inhaled deeply as I step into the living room.
I rushed to the dinning room and quickly made myself comfortable on a chair... my mouth watered as my eyes roam the table.
"Chicken wings?! Toasted bread! Scrambled eggs and bacon?!" I exclaimed happily and rub my hands together, licking my lips.
Just then Micah walks in with an apron around his neck, he drops a plate of sliced apples on the table.
"Oh! The princess is awake!" He said.
"Micah! Are you the real Micah?!"
"Duh! I'm the one and only Micah!"
I lean forward and grab his right arm.. I pinched on it very hard and he screamed loudly.
"Fucking ex-girlfriends!" He yelled.
"I'm not dreaming!"
He glares at me.
"Why did you pinch me?!"
"I wanna be sure if you actually cooked all these in my dream or reality!"
He rolls his eyes and sits down next to me.
"I'm not that useless, ok! I can actually cook anything!"
I scoffed loudly.
"Right!"
"I'm telling you, don't underestimate me, I can..... "
"Alright, that's enough lies, Micah!" Will's voice cuts him off.
Wait! Will's voice?!
Last night he wasn't here until I went to sleep! When on earth did he come back?
I feel someone breath in my ear and turn. A loud squeal leaves my mouth and my arms wrap around Will's neck.
"Will, you're back!"
Will laughed heartily.
"Well, I never knew you'd miss me this much!"
"When did you come back?" I asked.
"Last night!" He replied and sits me back on my chair.
I nod and turns to Micah with a playful glare.
"I knew Micah can't cook to save his life!" He was taking someone else's credit.
"At least he washed the apples" Will said.
"Right?" Micah chips in.
Will sits opposite Micah and starts serving the food, he dished my plate first.. then Micah's before his.
"So how was your trip?" I asked, stuffing my mouth with bread.
"Smooth!" Was his only reply.
"Oh!"
"Did you meet any beautiful damsel?"
Well, I don't need to tell you who said that...you all know him.
Will and I exchange looks and rolled out eyes, shaking our heads.
"Playboy!" Will and I said at once.
"I'm not a playboy, I'm just looking for my soulmate!" He defends himself.
"We know!" Will and I said again.
He scoffed and glares at us.
"Stop echoing each other's words!"
"Oh!" We said again to annoy him...he simply hissed and focus on his food.
"I don't have time to argue with nerds!" He said.
Will and I laughed, then continue eating in silence... My eyes meets the wall clock in the living room... 7:30am.
"Hurry up or you'll have to walk to school" Micah said.
"Bye, playboy!" I waved at Micah and steps out of the car.
"Nerd!" He said and zooms off.
I almost lost my balance as someone jumps on me from behind... engulfing me in a hug.
"Alexa!" Joyce calls in my ear.
She pulled away from the hug and smiles at me... I frown.
"Let me guess, your boyfriend called you this morning?"
She shakes her head.
"He's back!"
"Hmm, that's why you're smiling!" She takes my hand and we starts walking towards our class.
We both have biology this morning... here's a little secret, I hate biology.
"Joyce, about your sister... I'm sorry about yesterday, I just don't like it when someone is getting bullied"
"It's fine, I think she kinda deserve it.. she's getting too rebellious recently"
"Rebellious?"
"Yeah! The guy she's in love with doesn't loves her back, so she gets angry at any and everything!"
"oh, that's sad!"
"Hmm, I think she needs this punishment to calm down!"
I haven't loved before but I can tell that loving someone who doesn't love you too is really heart breaking.
"Who is the guy?" I asked...
Maybe I can help her get him, who knows he might love her too but don't want to admit it... humph! As if I have the courage to set people up!
"You don't wanna know!"
"I wanna!"
She paused and stares at me briefly.
"It's Xander!"
"Xander?!" I blurt out instantly.
She nods and I feel my heart skip... I don't know why but I suddenly feel threatened.
Yeah, I know Joyce said Xander doesn't love her back and heck I don't even love him... but I suddenly feel like Janet is about to snatch him from me.
"Alexa?"
"What?!" I snapped at her, suddenly feeling angry.
"A-are you ok?"
"Yes!"
"Oook!" She drags the word slowly.
Alexa, why are you getting angry?! I scold myself mentally. Stay calm! Stay calm!
"Sorry about that, I didn't mean to snap like that" I apologised.
"It's fine, I completely understand!"
Then I remembered what she said, if her boyfriend is back that means Mr court boy is back!
"Er.. Joyce is your boyfriend gonna come to school today?" I indirectly asked if court boy is coming.
"Yeah, he's in his chemistry class already"
"He and his friends?"
She gave me a knowing look and smiled.
"Yeah, but Xander didn't come today!"
"He didn't?!" I found myself asking in a bit of sad voice.
"Nope!" She answered. "Are you missing him?" She wags her brows teasingly.
I scoffed and gag.
"Missing him? Never!"
"Oh?"
"I'm happy he's not coming today, at least no one's gonna distract me from listening in class!" I said.
I'm not missing him but what I don't understand is why I'm feeling sad.
I took a deep breath.
"Let's go to class!" I grab her hand and drag her along before she could start talking again.

Packhouse....!
*Alpha!*
*Your highness!*
Pack members greet Xander as he walk past them towards the kitchen.
He stops when he hears some of his pack warriors talking loudly with excitement.
*... I didn't expect as a human she'd be bold enough to stand before the Alpha King!*
*Finally she put Janet in her place!*
*she surprised everyone!*
Xander clears his throat and they all stood up and bowed their heads.
"Alpha!" They chorused.
"What were you talking about?"
They look at each other, silently contemplating who will speak first.
"Aren't you supposed to be in the training ground?!"
"Yes, Alpha!"
"Get out!"
They all rushed out as if their lives depended on it.
Xander shakes his head and head towards the fridge.. he felt a tap on his shoulder and turned... it's his sister.
"Jenna, what are you doing here? Aren't you supposed to be in school?"
"I'm off duty today!" She replies.
Xander nods and takes an orange from the fridge and sits on a stool by the counter.
"Why didn't you go to school?"
"I don't really need to, I only went back to find my mate!"
Jenna nods.
"Now you've found her, don't you miss her?"
Xander nods slowly, Liam has been nagging him to go to school...he wants to see and be near their mate.
"Then what are you still doing here?"
"I want to give her some space, I realized I've been too forward!"
Jenna sighs and smacks his head.
"If you continue to stay here everyday, you won't make her love you"
"I know, I just don't wanna...."
"Shhhh, have you heard about how Alexa dealt with Janet yesterday for bullying an Omega?"
He shakes his head.
"She made Janet do the janitor's job for a week!"
Xander's eyes lit up and he adjust on the stool.
"How did she do that? I find it difficult to deal with Janet sometimes"
"She brought Janet to the palace yesterday and told dad about what happened...then dad gave her the right to punish Janet"
Xander gets up and drops the orange on the counter and rushed upstairs.
"where are you going?" Jenna yells after him.
"School" he replied.

Alexa's pov
*..... don't forget to hand in your homework next Friday!* Mr mike said and steps out of the class.
I sighed for the hundredth time, I've been sighing a lot since the beginning of this class.
My eyes glanced around the class to confirm it again...I'm met with another disappointment.
Mr court boy is still not here, I guess he's really not coming to school today.
"Alexa, I have history next!" Joyce said.
"Hmm!" I simply nod absentmindedly.
"My boyfriend and I have it together, so you're gonna be in your music class alone!"
"Hmm!"
She bangs the desk lightly and I blinked back to reality.
"Are you ok?"
"Yeah!"
"Ok, I'm gonna go, see you after class!"
I nod. She picks up her bag and dashed out, I arranged my books in my bag and head to my music class.
*Today we're gonna do some singing exercise...last time Janet did an excellent job!* Mr Cam said and winks at Janet.
Janet rolls her eyes and look away...I frown in confusion, why is Mr Cam winking at her? Does this school approve teacher and student relationships?
*You're gonna get yourself a singing partner and compose a song together...and we'll have a singing competition next month!*
Some students cheer and giggles excitedly... Mr Cam calms them down and continue.
*Now choose your partners among your classmates!*
The students discuss among themselves, some linking arms with their friends.
I sighed deeply, I don't know anyone other than Joyce..and I guess no one wants to partner up with me.
Everyone has got their partners remaining I and Janet, she throws me a glare but I ignore her.
Mr Cam calls for everyone's attention.
*Alright, I guess Janet and Alexa will part.....*
"Mr Cam!" A familiar voice cuts him off.
I turned and saw Mr court walking in, a smile subconsciously crept on my face.
Why do I suddenly feel happy seeing him?
*Alpha....*
Mr court raised his hand to stop him, he gave Mr Cam a knowing look.
Mr Cam nods and clears his throat.
*X-xander, what are you doing here?*
"I'm here to sign up for your music class!" Court boy replied...he looked directly at me and winks at me.
I frown...since when does he starts winking?
*Er.. ok, but they're partnering up for a singing competition, Janet and Alexa haven't got partners yet... I don't know if you will like to partner with any of them!*
Janet rushed forward and links her arm with court boy... I feel anger erupt from the pit of my stomach.
"Mr Cam, I'll be Xander's partner!" She said in a sweet voice.
I don't know if it's Mr Cam she's tryna charm with her sweet voice or court boy.
Court boy did something that gave me instant satisfaction.. he unlink their arms and head straight to me.
"I'll be her partner!" He told Mr Cam.
Mr Cam nods, Janet glares at me intensely, she scoffed loudly and angrily storms to her desk.
I smirk victoriously.. wait, what is wrong with me lately?!
"Hi, I'm Xander!" Court boy said and reach out his hand for a handshake.
I frown. "Excuse me?"
He laughs lightly.
"I'm sorry for embarrassing you before, I was too direct... Now, I want us to start over!"
I think about it for a brief second and nods.
"I'm Xander!"
"Alexa!" I said and clasp my hand on his.
"Can I be your singing partner?"
"Yeah!" He smiles and signal me to sit down.. I sit down and he sits on the desk next to mine.
My eyes locate Janet and I noticed she's still glaring daggers at me... If looks could kill, I'm sure I'd be 6ft under by now!
*Alright, all of you will have to practice the so fa notation first...if your partner doesn't know it, it's your job to teach him or her!*
Mr Cam distributed a sheet of paper round to everyone.
*Now look at the notation and practice it with your partner... with this I believe you will be able to compose a very good music!*
I glance through the paper and smile, this is very simple, I already learnt this before at my previous school.
"Do you know how to sing this?" Court boy asked.
Ok, I shouldn't call him court boy anymore since he already introduced himself correctly.
"Yeah, don't you?"
He shakes his head.
"Don't worry, I'll teach you! It's very simple!"
He nods.
"Listen to me clearly, you'll repeat what I sang!"
He nods again, I cleared my throat and starts.
♪doh re mi fa soh la ti doh♪
He look at him expectantly, he clears his throat too and starts.
♪do ri me fe fa la doo♪
I blinked rapidly and stared at him with my mouth slightly open.
"I didn't get it right?" He asked.
I shake my head and laugh lightly.
"No! Not at all" I paused. "But don't worry, let's try again, I'm sure you'll get it this time!"
"Ok!"
I starts again.
♪doh re mi fa la soh la ti doh♪
I look at him "now you try!" I said.
He smiles and starts again.
♪do ri me fe fa fu la sor dooo♪
He smiles brightly and looked at me.
"Nailed it!" He exclaimed.
I looked at him strangely and nod "yeah, nailed your ears!" I said.
"So... Should we sing it again?" He asked.
I throw my head back and released a long groan... this is gonna be a very long and annoying practice!
