Destined to the Alpha Prince

C H A P T E R 6 - University Life

Lyra POV

Today is Monday.

A day that I need to wake up so early to prepare myself in school. Yes, today is the first day of school in University.

My mom out my schedule yesterday and I think it’s kind a cool to have only 4 days to attend school. Not like High school, you need to attend school every day and only weekends were the only day to take a rest.

I walk towards the entrance gate as I take a deep sigh, didn’t use to be alone in my first day without Levi. Actually, Levi is now a senior student in High school. One more year and he’ll be here with me again.

But for some reason, the old man’s words keep on bugging my mind. It already marked me because he looks like I was the one he was talking about.

“ARE YOU GOING TO CHOOSE RIGHT?”

Why does he think that? What will I choose? He keeps saying words causing me to think that he’s crazy but his words had a meaning for me that making my heart flatters and feel the tiny ache inside.

“SOON, THE NIGHT WILL BE SILENT ONLY CAN HEAR THE FAST HEARTBEATS OF ALL THE PEOPLE. PACK WARRIORS WILL SACRIFICE THEIR OWN SELVES TO PROTECT THEIR PACKS AND MATES. THE OTHER MEMBERS WHO IS JUST IN THE BEGINNING WILL FORCELY TO FIGHT IN THE NAME OF THEIR PACK’S NAME.”

“THE PROPHECY IS ALREADY RUNNING TO MAKE IT REAL.”

All the things he said to me were questioned in my mind. The mates, the packs, and the Princes he said to me like he found the right person to warn.

What does he mean about it? What does he mean about mates, packs, prophecy and Princes? I know mates and packs are from werewolves but why does he say that?

Wolves didn’t exist in the world, right?

“YOU MUST LEARN TO CHOOSE THE RIGHT PERSON TO SIT NEXT IN THE THROWN. IF YOU CHOOSE WRONG, MANY PEOPLE WILL DIE BY HIS OWN HANDS.”

I wonder why does he says “YOU” from me. So confusing but I can’t help to be nervous. After he told me that, he was blocked out. I help him go to the hospital when I see the security walking near the restaurant.

I also felt sorry for my brother since I didn’t buy him a pizza, but he says he’s okay with it. He was also worried about the old man when I told him the whole story why haven’t I buy him a pizza.

Shaking my head, I should forget it for a while and wait to the old man to wake up so that I can ask him about it.

Tightening my hold to my schedule, a familiar feminine voice called my name.

“Lyra!” Looking to the right side, I saw Lauren waving her hands at me with a paper on his hand.

“Hey.” I greeted when she stops in my side,

“Your schedule is Monday too?” She asked and I nod.

Her eyes lit up and smile, “We all the same! Come, I want you to meet my friend.” She drags me inside the campus and students are scattered around the hallway, chatting with their friends.

Woah…this school was huge and neat. I also think that people around here knew each other by their friendly smiles and latest topics that I have heard about them.

My eyes landed to a familiar blonde haired guy who is looking at me with a boy and a girl on his side.

IT WAS HIM! THE GUYS WHO SAVED ME BEFORE.    

I feel something run inside my body causing my heart to beat faster and my breath to hitch.

“Hey guys!” Laura exclaimed stopping in front of them.

Is that mean-

“Lyra, this is George and Mika, my friends and this is Chase, George best friends who is now including to us.” I thought she only has one girl friend?

I don’t want to be rude so I smiled at them as I shake their hands except Chase who is looking at me intensely.

“And this is Lyra. The girl that I’ve been talking about.” She puts her hand on my shoulder and I blush when all of them stared at me.

She is talking about me on them? Oh no.

“It was nice meeting you, Lyra.” George smiled and I return back.

“So, a new member in the group eh? You like books?” Mika asked who is wiggling her brows and I laugh.

“Nope. I loved them.”

“Great! Now we have another bookworm in the group!” She hugs me.

Okay?

“Sorry about her. She loves people who also love books.” George rolls his eyes to Mika when she pulls a book on her bag and come close to me.

Looking to Chase, his eyes never averted to my face that makes my cheeks flush. I wonder if I have a dirt on my face. I also notice that he doesn’t tell a word.

“I bought a new book yesterday, I haven’t read it yet but I am so glad to make you borrow it.” My head snapped towards Mika and she handed me the book about vampires.

I hate vampires.

“I am so glad to accept in but I’m sorry, I prefer werewolf stories than vampires.” I said returning it to her and I noticed them froze.

Did I say something wrong?

“Guys? Are you okay? Did I say something wrong?” I asked looking at them in confusion.

Mika’s jaw hanged open a little and Lauren stand still on her position with wide eyes looking at me. As for George and Chase, George looked towards Chase who is looking at me in surprise.

I think I say something wrong and I don’t know why are they acting so strange about what I have said.

“Y-You like…WEREWOLVES?” Mika asked in shocked.

“Yeah. Is that a problem?” Why do they look surprise about me saying that I like werewolves, It’s not a big deal, to be honest, everybody knows in my old town that I love werewolves.

“Do you guys not like it?” I asked, looking to Chase who suddenly change his hard expression into a soft stare.

“We don’t.”

“It’s just like…others don’t want werewolves.”

“But I am happy to know that you like them.” For the first time, Chase spoke but a question popped in my head about his words.

All of us looked at him and a smirk tug into my three new friends.

“Why?” I asked.

“What?”

“Why are you happy to know that I like them?” I walk closer to hem, looking to Mika who is still smirking.

I really should know them, since I don’t understand them by the looked on their faces.

“B-Because I-I am the only person here who l-loves w-werewolves.” He stutters, voiding my eyes.

Okay? He’s weird.

“Okay, stop it already. We need to go to the class since we all have the same period!” Lauren said happily changing the topic and we all nod in response before walking to our respective rooms.

All of them walked and I stay in their backs with Chase in my side. I don’t know why I am I feeling something weird inside of me causing me to feel uncomfortable besides him. But the thing is, my body is craving to his warmth.

What was that mean?

“Are you okay?” He asked making my head snap his direction.

Our eyes met and I can’t help but adore the color of his eyes who are looking at me in worried. “What?”

“About what happened when I saved you from the car, are you okay?” asked again and I nod.

“I’m fine. Thanks again for saving me, my mind is not working properly that time.” I said in honest.

I sense him nodding his head and put his hands in his jean pocket. “I also want to apologize of what I have said before that makes you ran out in the ice cream shop. I didn’t mean it honestly.”

“It’s fine.”

“You need to be careful too, Lyra. You didn’t know when the accident will come to your side so I am now giving you a warning.”

He walks faster catching up with them leaving me by myself with a huge question in my mind again.

What is he talking about?

“No! Marlon is hot!”

“Shut up! David is hotter than Marlon. Everybody knows it!”

I keep myself in my chair while eating my food, glancing to Mika and Lauren arguing about guys who came to me earlier.

They both said that Marlon and David are the popular guys like George and Chase. But they said that Chase is the most popular guy in the school than them. They respect him and everybody knows him by his rude and cold-hearted attitude. I guess he was just acting like that when it comes to others but when he was around us, he is the friendly person.

I also heard that he isn’t the guy who talks to strangers or any other girls when he doesn’t know her or him. He keeps quiet and enjoying himself to be with his friends.

Mika and Lauren keep talking about them, they arguing also who will be the guy that I will choose to date and I groaned in annoyance when they choosing a guy for me.

“David is good to Lyra! Look, she’s beautiful and David will treat her better than Marlon who is f*****g the entire female population inside the closet.” Laura crossed her arms, glaring to Mika who huff in her sit.

“Marlon is not that bad, he can protect her and Marlon is also a good looking person. He can treat Lyra be-“ a loud bang erupted to the table making me jump in surprise.

The whole people who are inside the cafeteria looked at us mostly to Chase who is clenching his jaw and his hands formed into tight fist seeing his knuckles turned into white.

He is angry. I can see his eyes turned into livid and everybody knows it. But why is he angry?

Mika and Lauren shut their mouths bowing a little murmuring something I didn’t understand.

“Don’t demand the acceptance of Lyra if she doesn’t want them.” He said coldly, sending a cold stare to Lauren and Mika who nodded their heads immediately.

“We understand. Sorry…” The people inside of the cafeteria start talking loud making me groan when I didn’t hear Mika finish her sentence.

“We are done eating, let’s go.” Chase stands on his seat, walking out to the cafeteria and the four of us followed him like his servant.

“What is wrong with him?” Lauren asked who is sending s dragger look towards George who still silent.

“You don’t want to find out.” He said, taking a heavy sigh shaking his head.

“Why?” I asked making him look at me.

He just shrugged and Lauren keeps walking in a loud march. She goes ahead with Mika and George trailing her, leaving me with Chase who is walking in front of me.

Is it okay if I talk to him?

There is no wrong to talk to him, right? He won’t hurt me? 

I fastened my steps and catch up with him who still clenching his hands into a tight fist. My heart is beating so fast when I see his dark expression written on his face, and I gulp looking to his hands.

I don’t know why, but I hold his hands surprising him to my action. Ignoring the sparks and his shocked reaction, I opened his hand and massage it feeling his body suddenly relax.

WOAH…HOW DID I DO THAT?

“My father told me when someone gets angry and you see them folding their hands in fist, try to comfort them by opening their hands and massage their palms.” I said still massaging his hand on mine, remembering the things that I’ve learned to my father.

In that time, he and my mother were fighting of something. My mother was mad at him and I saw my father opening her fist seeing my mother relax by my father’s touch.

He told me about that and I’m happy to know it. My father’s words helped me so much to ease the anger of Levi when he got a fight in school. So by that, he always comes to me for a hug and to massage his hands when he is angry.

Looking at him to see his face, his eyes are glued to our hands feeling the sparks and electricity run through my veins and butterfly flies in my stomach.

I waited to his response, but I waited for nothing. He just stared      at our hands and walked normally with me.

Feeling his body relaxed by my touch, I started to pull my hand away from him but he suddenly gripped it and intertwine our hands.

Shit. His hands are so good to me.

“Now I found the person who will going to ease my anger every day. Are you going to agree for that?” He grins and I laugh.

Honestly, I was shocked that he smiled for the first time. He really suits it, he should smile more often.

“It’s cool for me. Now that I can make the people feel comfortable when they see oh-so-popular-bad boy in the school is calm and smiling.” I said and he raised his brow.

“Who said that I’m going to smile to everybody?”

“Me.” I answered with a grin.

He pinched my nose, shaking his head. “Sorry love, but I won’t let people seeing me smiling except for you.” He winked and I blush.

“You really know how to make girls fall, aren’t you?” I shake my head at him trying to remove my hand into his but he keeps tightening his grip.

“Why? You already fell for me?” He smirked and I glare.

“In your dreams.” I rolled my eyes and I see the hurt expression that reflects on his eyes.

“Whatever. But you will, SOON.” I shake my head, chuckling.

“Yeah yeah, whatever.” A big smile formed on my lips never leaves on my face.

MAYBE I WILL.
