120-Has My back
The next morning, when we woke up, we found out that Colt had already left. I had to lie to the brothers
and say that he spoke to me before leaving, or else they would think he ran away. He told me he would
meet me again, but this time not in the woods but in a café near our main school’s building.
“Congratulations on finding a girlfriend,” Akin told Mad- dox, who rolled his eyes and softly slapped his
forehead. He didn’t want to be official with her. He thought he could intro- duce her as his girlfriend to get
a reaction out of me and then dump her. But things aren’t that simple, especially when the girl is an
alpha’s daughter.
The brothers knew Maddox only called Dream his girl- friend for some other reason; they didn’t know the
reason yet.
“You okay?” I asked Reign, who had been super silent but would steal a glance at Maddox once in a
while. We were sit- ting in the garden to have breakfast with the guests. As usual, Dream was all over
Maddox’s lap, and from the looks of it, he was not having it either.
“I am fine. Did you speak to Alpha King Helel about the powder?” She asked, making me look Helel’s
way. He was star- ing right at me before he got caught and swiftly turned his gaze away.
“I haven’t. But we can now,” I said and turned to look at Helel again.
“Helel! Do you mind if we talk to you about something?” I asked Helel while Maddox got out of his seat to

observing us all.
“What is it about?” Akin asked, as usually he is the one everybody goes to whenever they want to know
about some-thing.
“The powder Mr. Mykel used,” Reign answered him.
“I can also help with that.” Akin looked offended. The al- pha king brothers looked confident in their
abilities and achievements. Whenever their area of specialty was ques- tioned, they would be very
upfront about expressing their dis- appointment.
“I have already spoken to Helel about it,” I gave Akin a forged smile, trying to excuse myself. Akin was a
great guy. I didn’t have any hatred or grudges against him. I had a crush on him because he seemed like
that hot tutor who was just perfect and hard to get for a while, but now I was beginning to change my
mind. Crushing on someone is one thing, but to constantly try to seduce them is wrong.
I stopped feeling that way for him, but that didn’t mean I didn’t respect him anymore. So far, he has been
very honest about what he wants and what he doesn’t want.
“Akin! I researched the history last night, as you asked me to. There are a few things that I found
intriguing,” Gwen had to interrupt. I noticed her looking at Akin and I when we were talking. She didn’t
look too pleased.
I found that moment to communicate with Helel, who had slid into his chair near Reign and I to hear us.
“Last day when I took that powder, I saw my wolf’s night- mare before me, but that’s not the only thing I
saw.” Reign started talking while I noticed Helel hunched over and rested his elbows on his thighs, and
when he did that, he looked in- credibly sexy. It is okay to praise someone for their beauty, but I don’t
intend to do anything more than that with any of them or anyone in particular for now.
“What else did you see?” Helel asked.
“I saw a girl in a hood for the first time. I am sure I have never dreamt of her before,” Reign mumbled,
making me re- alize she had finally recalled the entire detail of the last day’s lesson.
“The powder that causes hallucinations does not only show your wolf’s fears, but it sometimes works at
an even wider range. It depends on how strong your fear is. If your fear is stronger than your wolf’s fear,
you are bound to see both the fears combined in one dream,” Helel explained it better to her.
It was only then I realized Mr. Mykel wanted the details so that he could tell us we unknowingly fear
something too.
“But I don’t know why a girl is in the hood. I don’t think I —,” Reign paused as she struggled to put a
name that she could be afraid of.
“Can it show the future?” I asked Helel and he tilted his head to give it some thought.
“Only if the person is a seer!”
It wasn’t Helel who said it. Akin responded to us, making me believe he had been listening to us this
whole time.
“Did we miss any details?” Akin then turned to Reign, who had definitely not told them anything about the
girl in the hood, and neither had I.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏm“I was so panicky yesterday that I didn’t remember about her until I recalled the whole lesson before
going to bed,” Reign was honest in her response. She didn’t panic, nor did she stutter.
“Beatrice! I believe you were given the task of keeping an eye out on the details. How come you didn’t
mention any- thing?” Akin questioned him, as he didn’t look very pleased with us for hiding details.
“I wanted to speak to her about it first,” I said, as I gave a shrug to my shoulders. I didn’t want to come off
as a brat be- cause it was indeed my fault that I held back such a crucial detail, but I didn’t want to
accept my mistake in front of Gwen.
“It is deadly to see both yours and your wolf’s fear in the same dream,” Akin muttered as he narrowed his
eyes at me. Accusing me of being careless.
“That is why I sat Helel down today so that we can discuss this with him,” I defended myself, but Akin
closed his eyes and rubbed his temples to show he was disappointed with me.
“I am sorry, Reign. Actually, Beatrice is known for being careless and not focusing on anyone’s interests.
But I am sure she doesn’t do it purposely,” Gwen spoke up for the first time, and the way she portrayed
me to Reign was an obvious hint that she was trying to warn her about me by calling me selfish and
inconsiderate.
Before I could respond to her, Helel spoke up, much to my surprise.
“That’s not true. She is the one who has been constantly looking out for everyone. She is just not the
type to verbally remind everyone how kind and thoughtful she has been to them,” The way Helel
defended me against Gwen even made Gwen shut her mouth and stare at him with nothing but the look
one gives when they realize they are not the main char-acter anymore.
