Before the chapter starts I want to say.. THANKS FOR 400+ READS!! It hasn't been a while since 300 reads and now we're at 400?! Wow, anyway, enjoy the chapter!! :)

"It's a love letter." I whispered.
I opened it and read it,

Dear Veronica
I've been admiring you for a while now.
You're a great Alpha, and a great friend.
You don't need to reply to this letter, I just wanted to say how much I look up to you.
You might think it's a love letter.. it kinda is, in some ways.. but I actually wrote this to say..
Thank you.

~Your Secret Admirer

I felt a grin curved on my face, I didn't know some werewolfs appreciate my work.
I haven't done much and this just made me happy.
I decided to keep this a secret, it's not important anyway.

•••

While I was walking to school, I realized I always come across someone.
But today, I saw noone. The hallways were empty and I was wondering alone.

Then, I heard loud yelling and noises from the cafeteria. I opened the door and the noise became silent, everyones eyes were on me.

"Hi.." I said nervously.
But then, the crowd erupted to a huge applause. I was so confused, I smiled awkwardly and waved my hand.

Soon, someone decided to tell me what was going on. "I can't believe your choosing an Alpha today Alpha!"

I gasped, what? "What makes you say that?" I asked. He pulled me to the crowd than I saw a banner.

(Edit: IT'S 12.00 P.M. I'M SORRY!!)

I stared at it for what felt like hours, but it was actually a couple of seconds.
"So, are you excited Alpha?" Someone asks.
I nodded and gave them a weak smile.
But questions were filling my head.

'who did this?'
'why would someone do this?'
'this is bad, what if the winner is a bad Alpha?'
'am I gonna survive today?'
'should I skip school?'
'is this a dream?'
'THAT'S NOT EVEN MY AUTOGRAPH!!'

I felt someone pull me away from the crowd, I snapped back to reality.
"What are you doing?!" The werewolf asked.
I soon realize it was Chance.

"I don't know who made that banner! I don't know what to do!!" I felt like crying.
His eyes widen and he knew I wanted to cry. I held it back, I am the Alpha. I can't be weak.

Chance gave me a hug, I hugged him back.
"It's okay, I could cancel it if you want." He smiled.

"Thanks Chance, but I rather fix this myself."
I smiled back, "That's what I admire of you."
He said, then my eyes widen. I remembered the letter, 'Was it chance?' I asked in my head.

He decided to continue because I didn't answer him, "You have determination, you want to be responsible. And most importantly, you never give up." He said.

I feel myself blush, "Thanks Chance, it means alot."
"No problem Veronica." He smiled, then we walked to class.

~At The Race~
I took a deep breath, I wasted the whole day to find an excuse about the Alpha thing being canceled.

Damien came and talked to me, "Hey Alpha!
Are you excited to pick the Alpha male?" He asked.

I shook my head, and his grin faded away.
"No, I didn't hang the banner. I don't want to choose the Alpha from this race. Someone did it, I don't know their goal but I don't like it." I explained.

I saw something in his face, was it guilt?
I can't put my finger on it.
"What's wrong Damien?" I asked.

"It's nothing." He simply said and left.
I was left with no explanation to his sudden behaviour.

~Damien's POV~
I punched the wall, good thing noone was around. I was feeling extremely guilty.
It was me! I hang that banner!

When I heard Veronica and Chloe's conversation, I couldn't help but try to help.
I just made it worse, I wanted to tell her it was me. But I couldn't, she will hate me.

After a while I found away to fix this,
I ran back to the field to tell Alpha my plan.
"Alpha!!" I yelled as I ran across the field.

"Oh. Damien, what's wrong?" She asked.
I tried to calm myself from running, my legs felt like jelly.

"I found away to help you!" I said.
She smiled, "Thank you Damien! But, Chance already helped me out. Even though I said I didn't need them."

I was angry, I finally found away to make Alpha proud and Chance has to take that away. I thought 'Chance' gives people hope.

I held back my anger and smiled.
"Thats great!" I forced a smile.
She might have noticed it was force but decided to just drop it.

"Thanks for helping anyway Damien!" She says as she walked away.
Was I jealous? I doubt it.

~Veronica's POV~
"Thanks again Chance." I smiled.
He smiled back, "No problem."

"Do you want to eat lunch with me later today?" I asked, I slightly blushed.

"Sure!" And with that I left for class.
I ran into Damien, I think he was sick because he acted different then usual.

I sighed as I bumped into Fawn,
"Fawn!!" I yelled.
"Veronica!" She yelled back.

"We haven't seen each other in forever!" I said, she laughed. "I know right? I have to go to class now. We can hang out later!" She said.
"Alright!" I left to class and this time, noone stopped me.

I hope you enjoyed this chapter!!
