Conquering the Alpha (BxB) - Werewolf Story

Chapter 51: What I Was Made For?

SKYLAR

Unbelievable.

This day started so much differently than how it ended.

I prevented a fight from breaking out between Jayden and Kyle earlier, shot my mouth about Shawn - Jake's father - and ended up going into town to buy the object of my affection, a bouquet of red roses. If you had asked me before meeting Jake that I would ever spend an hour inside a van just to buy flowers for a boy, I'd ask what you're smoking.

But here I am, doing all this for a boy that I could not have.

I cannot exactly point my finger at when the switch was flipped inside my brain, all I know is that it gave me pleasure to see Jake's reaction to the flowers I gave him. He melted into a puddle before me, if I had that kind of courage - and most important privacy - I could have kissed him.

But no, I would never disrespect him like that. And most importantly, I wouldn't want to be the reason that he'd leave this place without a single prospect. It didn't make sense to interject myself in his relationship with Jayden. Why create havoc if I was not allowed to be with him in the sense that Jayden could?

I am not that selfish, to be quite frank with you. Even if I were, I would never jeopardize Jake's happiness. If he is happy, then I am happy for him. That is what is most important to me. But that was then, this is now.

A new day was born. My father emailed Headmaster Lockwood his approval of Jake as my prospect. Something nobody believed was possible, not for the lack of trying. I bet it was my mother's work. I called her last night in tears of heartbreak for not being able to be with Jake. I was devastated.

Yeah, maybe I am a mamma's boy. He who does not love his mother can cast the first stone. *stares at the crowd*

It's Monday. November 11. Last night, Jay stayed up until eleven with Jake in his dorm room - Seth left to give them privacy. He returned giddy with excitement. I was jealous, but I was not surprised that Jake stuck with him. I did not expect him to throw himself into my arms, but I would have loved it if that happened.

Regardless, I am the least bit discouraged from fighting for Jake. All I needed was a chance, so now it is up to me to make that happen. And I will not stop until Jake is comfortably resting his pretty little head on my chest once again.

"You look happy for someone whose prospect is happy in the arms of another man." Kyle teased me as we reached the cafeteria for breakfast.

"I am happy, thank you for noticing it. I'll be even happier when Jake realizes he was made for me." I declared, confidently. Jake and Seth are in the line for food and heard me well. Jayden did too, but I am not worried about him.

"Wow. I wish I had your confidence. Because if the guy I liked was about to introduce his prospect to his mother next weekend, I'd be worried." He stated, referring to the fact that Jayden is scheduled to go to Boulder this Friday.

"Yeah... I am sure Dr. Anderson is Team Skylar. By the time she is done calling him out on that viral proposal and the fact that Jay broke her son's heart, maybe she'll withhold her approval." I clapped back, taking a jab at my roommate in the process. Jayden glared daggers at me for that comment.

"I like your confidence, but I fail to see who wouldn't approve of Jayden. He's a great guy." Kyle spoke, sounding unsure.

"Aren't you my friend? Why are you trying to undermine my confidence?" I glared at him, mad.

"I am his friend too. I am friends with everybody. It's not my fault if you like the only Omega here who wouldn't throw themselves in your arms!" He exclaimed, defensively.
