Conquering the Alpha (BxB) - Werewolf Story

Chapter 96: It's Not Right But It's Okay

JACOB

You have got to be kidding me!

I am here, worried sick about Skylar, and he decided to pull a prank on me?

Son a bitch!

He was lucky I couldn't get my hands on him, that fucker!

This is not the time to be playing with my feelings, not when I thought I would lose you to a freaking avalanche of all things! That is NOT okay, not in the slightest!

He is lucky, I am feeling too relieved about him being alive to be truly mad at him.

That was horrible to go through, I can not lie. If I never have to visit the love of my life in a hospital again, it will be too soon. What a whirlwind of emotions over a completely avoidable accident. I cannot believe a 30-year-old institution was caught off guard by an avalanche in Colorado.

I am sorry, but I don't buy that these types of things were not taken into account when they built this place right at the edge of The Rocky Mountains. I am too much of a native to swallow this bullshit. Even my old school had protocols for avalanches, why wouldn't this place have them?

Anyway, all the students caught by the snow were successfully rescued and are well now.

Skylar is recuperating well and soon he will be discharged from the hospital. Frederick decided that since he is already in Colorado and the annual parents' day is going to be next Saturday, he will stay here for the rest of the week and make a holiday with his wife.

He said he and Dahlia never went to Boulder or Denver before, so he is going to take his wife sightseeing after Skylar is discharged. For now, they are keeping a watchful eye on their son's recuperation.

Seth is breathing a sigh of relief for his twin's health. He was tense as hell, worrying about Skylar. We all were, but I would never compare my feelings to their familial bond. I don't have any siblings - Shawn's kids don't count - so I would have loved to share that kind of bond with someone.

Angela Lockwood has all the necessary reports from the incident and has now issued an official Memorandum to the parents and students, apologizing for the mistake on behalf of the school's administration.

The truth of the matter is that it was an oversight by the Security Guards, who were supposed to have locked the castle down, but failed to do so. And Professor Roberts isn't used to being in charge, so he did not know that he was supposed to check if they did that or not.

Even so, as soon as the students left the first tower, he should have called them back immediately, instead of letting them play in the snow. Had he taken a firm stand, maybe the students could have escaped the secondary avalanche and this whole debacle could have been avoided.

Besides Roberts, half of the security guards were dismissed and Mr. Kirchner was given a formal warning. It was his job to make sure that his employees were doing what they were supposed to do. In fact, he was only spared because he was never given the lockdown order by Roberts, though that should have been 'pro form' and not incidental for the measures to be taken.

In all honesty, this was a clusterfuck of mistakes that never should have happened in the first place and I am positive it would never have happened under Headmaster Lockwood (Senior).

While her father is recuperating in the hospital, Angela has been taking charge of the school and keeping the ball rolling until we break for the upcoming Winter. The students were overjoyed to hear that Skylar will make a full recovery.

Out of all the students caught in the avalanche, he was the one who suffered the most by taking the longest to be rescued from the snow. Seth and I were back taking our exams by Wednesday morning. We had a lot to make up for, as were the students in general.
