Chapter 3: An Admission.

"An admission into the All Male Alpha Academy?" Grace squinted at the letter, struggling to read the words.

Some parts were hard for her, but she understood enough to know her daughter had been admitted into a boys’ school.

"What the hell is going on, Angela?" she snapped.

Angela almost peed herself when she saw the letter in her mother’s hands.

The postman had brought it straight to the house.

Principal Jane must have given up trying to reach her.

Angela had thought the process would take weeks.

She had no idea it would happen this fast.

Three days ago she had applied, and now, a letter of admission.

The fastest she had ever seen.

There was no time to wonder why.

Grace’s face was stormy.

If Angela didn’t handle this right, she would be dead before morning.

"Are you going to answer me or not?" Grace slammed her palm against the table, making Angela jump.


"What did you ask, Mother?" Angela said, pretending she hadn’t heard.

Grace’s eyes narrowed.

"Why is this letter addressed to you?"

"A letter? To me?" Angela frowned in fake confusion.

"I have no idea why my name is there. Maybe... maybe you’re reading it wrong, Mother. Look closely. It says Angel, not Angela."

She held her breath.

Grace was good at smelling lies.

If she caught on now, Angela was finished.
