In The Arms Of An Alpha

Episode 04 - Leave Out Of Your Comfort Zone

I have been trying to sleep for more than half an hour. My eyes are closed but I am still awake. I could not sleep. My mind is spacing out.

Instead of focusing on sleep, I am more busy thinking of him. Yes, I am still thinking about him. Thinking about the man who saved me from bullies earlier today.

Honestly speaking, I forgot the color of his eyes. I am not sure if his eyes are gray or gold. What I am sure about is he was kind and very nice. I looked at the handkerchief he gave to me. I will not be able to say that he was nice if he did not do something nice to me.

He was possibly my knight in shining armor, he has a big heart, unlike other students who just passed me by. He was the one who saved me from them.

"Give me a night of good sleep, good God, why am I still thinking about that man? I did not even get his name." I think I'm going crazy. I was talking to myself because I could not sleep.

"You know, it is bad if you talk to yourself." I heard a voice, almost laughing because she heard me talking to myself.

I stopped arguing with myself when I heard someone speaks inside my room.

"I'm here."

I was surprised by someone else's voice. That sounds close enough. Who is that? My eyes began to search for that voice. Who spoke? I'm the only person here in my room. I have no one else with me and I have no one else to see besides me.

It is horrible. It gives me goosebumps. Lord, protect me. I quickly prayed and made the sign of the cross. Please do not haunt me. I am a nice person.

"You are funny. Stop that. I am not a ghost," she said while laughing. "Look here. I'm here," I heard a rustling and a woman appeared in front of me wearing a shiny jacket.

Her face is familiar. She is the girl who offered me to be my new friend. "Kourt?" I asked her even though I hadn't seen her completely yet. Is she really that girl? "Are you the one who offered friendship to me?"

"You are right. I am that girl. My name is Kourtney. It is me, your new friend, you can call me Kourt, hi!" She was very happy to introduce herself to me with a wide smile on her lips.

"What are you doing in my room?" I was very confused. How did she get in here? What did she do? "How did you get into my room?"

"I'm visiting my new friend. Why is it not allowed? I also have the power to sneak into every room in our school." She winked at me.

That is amazing but is not that forbidden at school? She can be expelled from school. That is in the Haven handbook. That is strictly forbidden. It is forbidden to go to another student's room.

"And I have one more thing to say, have you heard about Cheskatt Montiferer?"

Cheskatt Montiferer? Never heard about her.

"No. Why?" Who is the girl she is referring to? Who is Cheskatt?

"Like you. She talks to herself all day and not to mention, She is also the most popular student here at Haven fifteen years ago. She's Haven's princess."

"I haven't heard anything about her. This is the first time I heard that story."

"She is the basis of beauty. She had all the attention of the men, so many were crazy about her before she finally lost her mind. She is the most beautiful, sexiest, narrow, modest, and respectable woman. Her life is interesting." She stopped her story and looked at me to see if I was still interested in what she was saying. "I am sure you won't want to know the story of her life. Her life is pitiful." She added.

"I won't take the time to find out about her life," I gave her assurance.

"By the way, good morning." There was a beautiful smile on her lips.

"Good morning? Wait, is it just morning?" I couldn't answer her with a smile because I couldn't believe it was morning. Is it morning? I haven't slept yet.

"Yes."

I looked outside. I didn't see anything because there was a curtain on the window. The curtain kept the sun from entering my room so I didn't notice it was morning.

"Let's remove this curtain so you can believe me." She said to me and then removed the curtains from the window.

"It's morning," I said as I felt the sun touch my skin.

"You are right. You couldn't sleep last night thinking about the man who saved you from bullies. Do not worry. I'm here to help you find out his name."

"Wait, what are you doing here in my room? do you know you can be spelled if they find out you've been messing around in my room?"

"I know but who cares about the Haven rule? Nothing but you newbies." She even laughed at what she told me

My eyebrows met. What does she mean by that? Wasn't she afraid of being caught by the guards? She is really brave.

"Don't get confused, Hailey. we're not the bad guys here. We are just scolding. In this school, we love to do things that are not in the handbook."

"Like sneaking in someone's room?"

"Totally agree." I will no longer wonder how she entered my room without any problems

She started walking around my room. She looked at every corner of it. I also saw how she disliked it because of the dirt and mess in my room.

"Your room is very plain. are you really a girl?"

"I just don't like putting so much in my room."

"It's not bad to put some deco in your room. For you to feel alive."

"I feel alive," I answered back to her.

By her look, it seems like she didn't want to believe what I said.
