It crossed my mind that I could beg the girls to listen to me once more, but I had no courage to do that. I sniffed and used the back of my hand to clean up my tears. It felt like everything was against me today, and I didn’t know how to make my situation any better.

I looked around the whole halls and I knew without being told twice that I would be deluding myself with the thoughts that I would be able to get the upper hand with Alpha Kanen. My parents also couldn’t fight for their only child. I know I wished to escape,
