Is this some sort of prank?
A bad joke, perhaps?
Because there is no way in hell that my mother would have denied Skylar as my prospect.
She was already planning our wedding by the time Skylar was done asking her permission to prospect me. How could any of that translate to denial? I am sorry, but something is not right. It is not adding up. The math is not working in this equation.
Why would my mother have deterred Jayden only to disapprove of Skylar?
She knows I don't have any other prospects except for them. No, I am sorry, but something is not right with this announcement. How could she do this to me? I told her everything that happened between Skylar and me this past weekend!
Skylar was heartbroken over this announcement, devastated, and disappointed. We really thought that we had this in the bag. How could we have missed this? How could we have gotten this so terribly wrong? It makes no sense! *mind boggling*
We cried on each other's shoulders in one of the corridors of the auditorium. This truly wrecked the both of us. I understood Jayden's rejection. I did not like it, but I understood her motivation. This does not make any sense!
I released myself from Skylar's arms, stomped the stairs down to the stage where Lockwood was talking to some of the teachers, and demanded to know what happened.
"Excuse me, Headmaster." I politely asked to speak to him, only to be met with a stern face.
"Yes, young man." He was not pleased to have this conversation with me right now.
"Are you sure it was my mother's email you received? Can I see the email, because I know her account information." I inquired, suspiciously. I do not think he is being malicious, but something is not right.
"I never said I received an email from your mother." He declared and I gasped in shock.
"What?" I am jaw-dropped.
"I said..."
"I know what you said, Alpha, but my mother is the only person on Earth who can approve a prospect candidate for me. What the hell!?" I rasped, confused by the whole thing.
"That is not entirely true, is it?" He smirked at me and I honestly wanted to punch him so bad right now.... *growl*
"Shawn emailed you?" Skylar interjected, aghast by this development.
"I received an email from Mr. Broderick, that is true." He admitted, painstakingly.
"YOU HAVE GOT TO BE KIDDING ME!" I shouted, sounding rabid.
"Headmaster, if I may, Jake was raised by a single mother. His father was never in the picture. The only authority over him has to be his mother's." Skylar argued in a tempered tone. I am fuming right now. I am angrier than when I discovered he raised an Omega child who is not me.
