The Alpha's Rejected Silent Mate

Chapter 22

Chapter 22

I feel bad. I had to leave Winter at home this morning, because I had football practice, well okay, I was staring at the cheerleaders and maybe some of the other girls that cheer for them.

A crappy reason to leave my sister behind right? I should have stayed but surely dad was way too drunk to do anything.

He’d been completely out of it when I left so I thought it was safe. I shake my head. I’ll check later to make sure that she’s made it to school safely. I promised her I’d change and I meant every single word of it.

Theres a niggle feeling in my gut and I don’t even dare wait until lunch like my original plan to find her. Instead I

go to the administration office and get glared at by the secretary. Clearly she doesn’t like me. Like I care, heck the feeling was mutual. I drum my fingers across the desk just to piss her off some more.

“Can I help you” she says snidely and I so badly want to give her the finger but making sure Winter is ok is my first priority. I could always give her the finger when I left.

“I’m wondering what class my sister Winter is in right now. I need to speak to her” | mumble. There’s no need to tell her my last name. I’ve been in this office so many times to see the headmaster that the secretary knows my full name off by heart.

She scowls at me and then slowly, pulls up something from her computer. At least she’s not arguing with me but then maybe she just wants me the hell out of her office.

“Why are you looking for your sister when she called in sick today” the woman snaps, as though I’ve wasted her precious time. I swear she rolled her eyes at me.

“Winter called in sick” | double check. I don’t believe her, Winter has never missed a day of school. Even when she was being bullied relentlessly or sick with a cold, she came to school. Her grades were too important to her.

“Yes she called in sick” the secretary says irritably and I still.

“Did she call or did her father?” I ask in a whisper, my gut churning.
