Conquering the Alpha (BxB) - Werewolf Story

Chapter 74: You Lost Me

JACOB

I am not going to lie, there was a part of me that wished I could have slept in Skylar's dorm room last night. I know it is against the rules, but that was not what kept me from going forward with his invitation. I just could not imagine Jayden arriving on Monday evening only to discover my scent in his dorm room. That would be a betrayal.

It's true I kissed Skylar and did other things with him, but I was only exploring our connection further. I did not mean for that to go as far as it did. I am not a cheater and did not go into this thinking that anything that happened between Skylar and me was going to happen. It was surprising to me too.

But in no way, shape, or form I would ever disrespect Jayden by sleeping in his dorm room with his roommate. That is simply not happening. I am not that person. I will let him down as gently as I possibly can, but I don't need to add betrayal to the list.

We haven't talked or texted since I told him last Sunday that I wanted to talk to him when he returns from the suspension. Now it's Monday morning and my guess is he will arrive this evening in Ravenwood. I look forward to talking to him, only to put our relationship to bed. In reality, I owe Jayden a lot for having boosted my confidence and made me believe that someone like him could be with someone like me.

I know that is why I came to this place, to find someone like him, but finding people of his caliber and having them accept me as a potential match are two entirely different things. He was the one who made me think it was possible and I was worth it, the boy with no money, no pack of consequence, no pedigree, and not even a father.

There will always be a special place in my heart for Jayden. I hope he takes our breakup well because I would love nothing more than to be able to count him as a friend, though I know I could be wishful thinking. Only time will tell.

Last night, when we returned to Ravenwood after a week-long Thanksgiving break, we sat down for the mandatory assembly with Headmaster Lockwood, only for him to reveal at the end that Skylar was rejected as my prospect candidate.

At first, we all thought Lockwood was referring to my mother's decision, which made no sense since she loves Skylar. Upon confronting the Headmaster, I discovered that it was Shawn who had emailed him about Skylar, not my mother. I was furious by this.

Unfortunately, due to his legal status as my (biological) father, there was nothing Lockwood could do to countermand that decision. Shawn was the one who had to rescind his rejection or the thing would be up in the air. The 'thing' being my relationship with Sky.

Of course, neither of us was going to take that lightly and we called our respective parents to report the surprisingly arrogant articulation by Shawn. My mom was fuming when she learned about that stunt. I mean, she was so furious with him that, had she lived in Texas, I would fear for Shawn's safety. Well, I share that sentiment with her.

Last night, Skylar and I sat down in the common area of the Gamma House to talk and be together before we turned in for the night. Just before that, I discovered from Seth that it was his grandfather who likely put Shawn up to that. He is not keen on his heir to prospect someone like me. Right. I thought I was past that by now...

Seth and I sat down together for breakfast in the busy cafeteria as we prepared ourselves for a week of studies before the end of term exams. For once in my lifetime, I am not worried about studying because all exams here are practical situations. Even Werewolf History is measured by how you apply the knowledge of the past in present day situations.

I am curious to see how we are going to be tested in health class. Are they going to ask me how to practice safe sex as an Omega? Because to me the only safety I know is to remain a virgin, not to say that I would mind having mind blowing good sex with Skylar...
