Conquering the Alpha (BxB) - Werewolf Story

Chapter 54: Just The Two of Us

I knew this would happen.

Last week, my mother called me to ask about a viral video that grabbed her attention, due to the fact that one of the boys featured in it appeared to be her son. With all the commotion that happened last week, I didn't even think of texting my mom to tell her about the proposal video.

Between that video going viral, Carla being expelled, Skylar going to Texas in the middle of the week and the Harvest Ball approaching, I was caught in the middle of it all. Oh yeah, and let's not forget Jayden's mom coming to Ravenwood to investigate what happened and talk to me. Honestly, the whole thing was one huge clusterfuck.

But at least I managed to speak to her and clear the air, eventually earning her approval to be prospected by her son. That was important, especially because at that time, I did not have any other choice. Then Skylar's father surprised everybody with his approval of me.

Anyway, I FaceTimed her for a while after classes when she asked me all kinds of questions about Jayden, what really happened between us, Skylar and what was my answer to the proposal. After that, I texted her about other things, including the surprising decision by Alpha Stronghold.

Now that Seth and I are at odds with each other over Skylar, I feel like I need a different type of friend. One who could judge the situation with some impartiality. My mom is perfect for that task. She will always give it to me straight.

She and I have always been close to each other. I had friends in high school and still do, but there were no secrets from her. At least, nothing major. Some things are best kept as a mystery between mother and son. Anyway, now she is all caught up with what happened since then and is grilling Jayden like a CIA interrogator.

Poor Jay is sweating under her scrutiny right now.

It's Friday night in Colorado. I took Jayden home with me for the weekend because he needed to ask my mother's permission to prospect me. I mean, she needs to approve of him before we can move on with the contract negotiations.

This past week, Skylar has intensified his tactics of winning me over with small gestures that he does to woo me. He is very sneaky in the sense that he does not buy me lavish things like one could with his kind of money. Instead, he goes low on his gifts.

Though the flowers and chocolates were expensive, it's nothing any other Ravenwood student couldn't afford - except for me, of course, though I am obviously not the only scholarship student over there. We are ten percent of the student body, by state law.

Jayden and him have been feuding a lot lately, but so far it hasn't escalated to the point of physical aggression and I hope it never comes to this. By the end of this weekend, Jayden should have my mother's stamp of approval.

If he can survive the grilling from her, of course. Well, my love, you are the Alpha. Deal with it. Let the games begin! I mean, they have already begun...

"I know what Skylar wants with my son, Jayden. He has been very vocal about it from the moment I met him. What I don't know is why an Alpha of your caliber would wait a whole month before starting to fight for my son. Skylar did not even share a kiss with him and he flew back to his pack in the middle of the week just to ask his parents for approval of Jake. Where was your love all this time? Do you really love my son or you just don't want Skylar to win?" She demanded to know, raising an eyebrow in an accusatory stance.

My goodness, she doesn't sugarcoat it. Does she? I expected nothing less, of course.

"I haven't been idle for a month, ma'am. Trust me, I was devastated to be forced to break up with your son. He is the only boy from that academy that I wanted from the start. He was interested in me even regardless of what my pack was or whose grandson I was. He is a true gem. I was not in a good place after we broke up." Jayden replied, sounding heartbroken by the memory.
