Chapter 19
Ollie’s POV
My heart jumps into his throat. The scent of Declan is all around me. As cold as he has been to me, his body is surprisingly warm, and oh so strong. Gods, the way he holds me in place like I’m nothing makes me hot under the collar.
I’m humiliated by my own reaction, but I imagine him pinning me down, keeping me in
place while he has his wild and wicked way with me.
His eyes though remain cold as he glares at me. “Don’t get cocky, just because you’ve been
given a privilege. We could just as easily take it away from you.”
Swallowing hard, I dare ask, “Can I go to school today?”
“You will go every day,” Declan says. “But the quarry will expect you after. Once you have finished there, you will return here by 8pm. That is your curfew. Do you understand?”
It’s a harsh sentence, but it’s better than what I’d thought it be, when I thought they might keep me from going to school at all.
“I do,” I say, and glance away. His closeness is making me feel hot, and I’m trying so hard to push down on that feeling, not wanting him to know how he affects me.
Being in his lap like this…
I wish he’d kiss me.
What a foolish thought! He’d probably rather bite me than kiss me.
Although… maybe that wouldn’t be so bad either.
Gods, what am I thinking!
I can’t stop the blush this time, though I do dip my head down, hoping my hair will cover
most of it.

“You will never again attend these parties or mess around anymore,” Declan says.
“Okay.”
“Okay, what?” he snaps.
“Uh. Okay, Declan.”

He growls low and dangerous. Leaning forward, he whispers roughly in my ear. “You will
call me Sir.”
My mouth goes dry, but I feel compelled to obey.
“Okay… Sir.”
He hums. “Good.”
The single word fills me with more pleasure than even the press of his hands on my hips
does.
“Now, get.”
He releases me then, and shoves me away. I scurry to the kitchen without looking back, but I can feel his cold eyes on me all the way to the door.
At school, the homeroom teacher sets several piles of forms on her desk. These forms are applications for the various different universities. They are to be filled out and returned at any time before graduation next month.
Most of the students don’t hesitate in going to the front and grabbing an application from
this pack’s university.
I’m probably the only one in the class who doesn’t want one of those applications, though I’m not sure which other one I do want. There are several packs that are offered, but which one I’ll be allowed to attend will likely depend on my future rank.
Until the Alpha… or Alphas, in my case, choose a rank for me, my choices remain unknown.

Since the Alpha’s death, Diana, the Luna, has been deciding the ranks of the new adults.
When the quadruplets rise to power, they will be the ones making the decisions.
The thought makes me uneasy.
For now, I worry that selecting an application from a different pack will draw too much attention to me. So as I approach the front, I grab an application from each stack, including the one for this pack.
The teacher looks at me with surprise. There’s only two sheets in the other stacks, with this pack having the most. Likely, she didn’t think anyone would pick anything else.
Holding the papers to my chest, I turn and hurry back to my desk before anyone else can take notice. Fortunately, the teacher doesn’t say anything, so neither do I.
The rest of the day goes normally enough, until Sylvia, Christie, Vikki, and Kimber corner me in gym class. After gym class, the instructor asked me to put away the volleyballs, which I am in the process of doing. Unfortunately to do so means I had to enter the walk–in closet with the other gym supplies.
