Everything has changed.

I spent the three day weekend with Skylar who had asked to accompany me back home to Boulder - at first, he wanted me to stay back in Ravenwood with him but everyone else was going away for the extended weekend and I already had plans with my family.

To my complete surprise, Skylar was an angel throughout the entire trip.

He was on board with all my suggestions, answered all my mother's questions and even survived my slutty cousin who was all but ovulating that he was there at my grandmother's 60th birthday celebration. He was humble, attentive, and respectful.

He was everything you could possibly want in a guest. He even offered to do the dishes when we had our meals with my mother in our house. It was such a 180 degree turn that by the end of the weekend, my mom was sold on him.

I was sold on him. It was as if the Skylar I had known all along was a front, and I finally had the chance to get to know the real boy from Texas whose pack is named after his ancestor. It is the only pack that carries the Alpha's last name and the most famous in America, especially in the South.

I expected him to try to get funny with me, to try to persuade me to get with him in some capacity but he never did. He did not even ask for a kiss, just flirted a lot. And I do mean A LOT.

I can see why he is so popular among the girls. He is not only devilishly handsome but also a total flirt who tells jokes and convinces you that the attraction you are feeling is coming exclusively from you, not him. I don't mean that in any sort of predatory way, he just has a way of enchanting you and leaving you asking for his attention, his love.

At some point, by the end of Saturday night, I could be persuaded to kiss him but he never asked me to. He is that good. He told me he was all about radical consent and I didn't quite understand that until now.

You have to be fully aware of what is happening. You can not be inebriated, intoxicated, or have consumed anything that could impair your power of consent. If that is in play, then you have to be able to deny his advance if you wish and be in a condition to do so. No backseat loving if you can not get out of the car and say no. He is always very respectful.

Of course, the more of a gentleman the guy proves to be the more I want to jump his bones. But I am not in that place yet, nor would I ever do that before a contract was signed. With anyone, much less a boy I can not have. Again.

But my point here is that I am in complete awe of him. He is not the boy I thought he was. Not at all.

It's Sunday. November 3rd. We were having dinner at the cafeteria after the mandatory assembly with Headmaster Lockwood earlier, who seemed to have made a targeted speech towards his grandson if I heard correctly. Though why is he saying that after we have been off for almost a month I don't quite understand.

It's not like Jayden has been putting up much of a fight... O.o

When Skylar started gushing about his time with me in Boulder, I was getting redder by the second in front of his twin brother - who always eats with me in the Omega section - and once he said the words 'slept together', he gasped in shock.

Immediately I explained to him that Skylar meant actually sleep and not sex. As if...

And then he said this to Jayden:

"News flash, buddy. He is not yours anymore. He is mine. He is the reason why I came to this academy. To find someone exactly like him."

Seth gasped again, wide-eyed.

"What happened between the two of you? He is never possessive about anyone!" He was staring at me in utter shock.

"I have no idea. First, he told me that he broke up with Victoria because of me. Then he asked to go with me to Boulder for the weekend and I couldn't say no to him. But once we got in his car, he was a completely different person." I answered, honestly.
