Howlstone Academy 300 Days with the Alpha Beta Triplets

Bella’s POV:

“Please do not abandon me, Dad!” My mother dragged me out of the house, and I cried out, attempting to reach my father. “I thought you loved me, and you promised I would not leave with her; please give me another chance.”

“I am sorry, Bella, but I can’t. I love you so much, but that doesn’t change the fact that you are a murderer.”

My father’s last words lingered on my shoulder for hours as we drove through the hills to the Frost Pack in the southern region of Moonfire.

I never would have guessed that I would end my best friend’s life for a boy. But she betrayed me with the person I cared deeply about. Alpha Princesses and Beta’s in my pack found mates at sixteen, and I had turned sixteen a few months before and still had no mate. This is because I am a hybrid, so things did not go as planned.

My boyfriend, Sebastine, promised to mate with me when I turned seventeen without a mate, but my best friend, Bonnie, stole what belonged to me when they realized they were mates.

“We are here,” my mother announced, interrupting my thoughts, which consisted of Bonnie’s lifeless body, pale from the vampire bite.

I raised my eyes to see the grandeur before us. A sprawling compound adorned with vibrant flora and surrounded by castle-like structures. Students in crisp uniforms were moving around, rushing to their classrooms.

“Why... are we here?” I stuttered, fully aware that this was the school Ryder Ashcroft, my stepbrother and the Alpha prince of the Frost pack, attended.

My mother was also the principal, and all she intended to do was keep me caged.

We had never been on good terms, and every time I visited my mother, he reminded me I was not welcome. He bullied the hell out of me, along with his best friends, the Lycanthal twins and the Frost Pack’s Beta’s sons. They were referred to as the Alpha-Beta triplets because they were born on the same day and time. Rumor has it they will share a mate, so they have become inseparable.

“Bella, your mother, and I decided it would be safer if you sought refuge in the academy. Here, you will be taught to channel your energy into your wolf's side, and we will counteract your vampire strength.”

When Alpha Fredrick mentioned this, I shook my head.

“No, you cannot do this to me. You are not my father, and you have no right to decide for me!” I yelled, attempting to open the doors, but they were jammed shut as the car rolled to the front of the school building.

“You have no choice, Bella. Your father and I agreed to this, and it is the only way to keep you away from the Rune pack. When they discover you are a hybrid, they will drive a dagger through your chest.”

I cried out as she spoke, clutching my aching chest.

“Stop pretending you fucking care! You are the reason I am like this, and you ruined my life!”

This was true because she abandoned me for death when a war broke out, and before my father could reach me, I had already received the vampire bite, which was not fatal because I was still a baby without a wolf.

“I will not have this argument with you, Bella.” My mother said in a subtle tone, burying her head in her palm while I cried louder.

This woman despised me so much that she never came back until I was ten. She sought refuge from her high school lover, the Alpha of the Frost Pack, Alpha Fredrick. We were never close, and I often wondered if she was my mother because she expected the worst from me.

“You can cry all you want, Bella, but the decision is made. You will share a room with Ryder and the twins, who will keep an eye on you until we find a way to stop your insatiable desire for blood.”

As the car came to a stop, I looked at her with tear-stained eyes.

“Wipe those sorry excuses for tears and get out of the car; Mrs.Gray awaits us.”
