Capítulo 11: The Missing Bunch

I was walking down the streets toward my college, my hands tucked inside the pockets of my black jacket, a white t-shirt underneath, and a pair of Converse shoes on my feet.

It was a typical sunny day, and the gentle warmth of the sun mixed with the cool breeze made me feel good, almost at ease.

The memories of the morning flickered through my mind. My thoughts wandered back to Beta. As I was leaving this morning, she had clung to me like a magnet, not wanting to let go. Her arms wrapped tightly around me, her body pressed against mine, as if her very survival depended on me staying.

"Master, please... just stay a little longer," she said, her voice filled with need as she buried her face in my chest.

I chuckled, stroking her hair as I kissed the top of her head. "Beta, I have to go to college. You know that," I said, my voice soft yet firm.

"But... I don't want to be away from Master." she murmured, her arms tightening around me even more.

I sighed. "You'll be fine and I'll be back soon enough and aren't you forgetting something that Alpha has asked you to do.?"

She gets jump scares as Alpha is always commading mystics to be on alert and be extra assure of things as a mission.

"I do...." says Beta.

"Go then I also have to go college now."

I tried to pull away, but she held on stubbornly, looking up at me with those big, pleading eyes.

"But Master..."

"Don't worry I will be back and come to you before anyone else." I replied sounding convinction

"Not until you promise me something," she said, tilting her head.

I raised an eyebrow. "And what's that?"

"Promise me you'll make me your favorite again when you come back."

I chuckled, cupping her face in my hands and kissing her deeply. "You already are, Beta. Now, let me go, or I'll be late."

She reluctantly loosened her grip, her lips brushing against mine one last time before I finally managed to pull away.

Her eyes followed me as I left, filled with longing and a hint of playfulness. "Hurry back, Master," she called after me.

I sighed at the memory, shaking my head with a small smile. "Beta… clingy as ever."

As I strolled, I looked down at my palm, feeling the rush of energy coursing through me.

I couldn't help but smirk. Things had changed. My old life was so different—dull, even—but now, everything seemed to be moving fast, almost too fast.

In my past life, I had never experienced something like this, and now… well, it was hard to believe how quickly everything had changed.

"Never in my past life did I have sex," I muttered to myself, "and now, in just two days, I've slept with two different women." I grinned to myself, a spark of lust lighting up inside me. It was a strange feeling, but I liked it. This world—this life—it was... thrilling.

Then, Beta's words echoed in my mind. "You have enemies. You're always a target. Be careful, Master."

I shook off the creeping paranoia. "I don't want to die again after getting such a good life," I muttered, running my hand down my face, half-smiling at the irony. This world, as amazing as it seemed, had its dangers.

"Austin! Yo!"

I was pulled from my thoughts as I heard a voice behind me. Kyle came jogging up to my side, grinning as usual. "What are you sulking about, man?" he asked, playfully punching my shoulder.

I forced a smile. "Ah, nothing. Just feeling a little dizzy, that's all."

Kyle chuckled. "Yeah, I bet! I saw you going up in the bedroom with Lily the other night at the club. Must've been one hell of a night, huh? Spending time with a beautiful woman and all."

I smirked at him. "Heh, yeah. She was… good," I replied, a little too casually.

Kyle grinned knowingly. "I know, right? The way she sucks… feels so euphoric."

I froze mid-step, my eyes narrowing at him.

"Huh?"

"Huh?" he replied, clearly confused by my sudden reaction.

"You've been with her, too?" I asked, trying to keep the surprise out of my voice.

Kyle gave me a bewildered look. "What? How can you forget? That night when I was feeling down, she comforted me. We ended up, you know, doing it while you were off with another girl at the bar."

I blinked, trying to recall what he was talking about, but nothing came to mind. Still, I had to act like I knew, so I nodded. "Ahh, right. Yeah… sorry, slipped my mind."

Kyle laughed and waved his hand dismissively. "It's not like she's your girlfriend or anything. Just another good time, right?"

"Yeah, true, true," I muttered, though the thought bothered me for some reason. How many people had Lily been with? I brushed the thought aside.

Kyle suddenly threw an arm around my shoulder, hugging me tightly. "Come on, man. Don't be so serious. We all are here to have fun."

I forced a grin, trying to go along with it. "Yeah… the way she opens her legs and takes it in, though. Seductive as hell."

Before Kyle could respond, a familiar voice interrupted us. "Ahem* Good morning."

We both froze. Standing just a few feet away was Lily—her long hair cascading down her shoulders, her eyes staring directly at me with an unreadable expression. My heart skipped a beat.

"Good morning, Al—" I almost called her Alpha but quickly corrected myself, "Lily."

She smiled, though there was something about it that felt… different. "Did you bring the math notes I asked for?"

I nodded. "Yeah, I did."

Kyle stood awkwardly beside me, clearly trying to play it cool. Just then, Silvia, Lily's best friend, joined us, giving us both a mischievous grin. "Good morning, boys," she said, her eyes darting between us as if she knew something we didn't.

She is one bold woman. Her clothes are revealing as fuck.

We exchanged pleasantries and then made our way toward the classroom. Kyle was still talking about something or other, but my mind was elsewhere. Something felt off.

When we got to class, Kyle suddenly looked around and frowned. "That's strange… Ryan isn't here yet."

I scanned the room, noticing the absence of the usually boisterous Ryan. The one who were enjoying his time at the club that day. "He said he'd be coming, right?"

"Yeah, I talked to him yesterday morning. He said he'd be here."

"Maybe he's late," I suggested,

Kyle shrugged. "Yeah, probably. Maybe he hooked up with a girl last night and overslept."

We both chuckled at the thought, taking our seats as the class began. But as the lecture went on, something didn't feel right. The classroom seemed unusually quiet. Four of the usual troublemakers were absent, and it was noticeable. Even the teacher commented on it.

"Four boys absent today?" the teacher muttered, looking over the attendance sheet. "That's unusual. They're usually the first ones to cause chaos."

A few students whispered among themselves, speculating that they might've skipped class to hang out somewhere.

"They're probably bunking. Out partying or something," someone joked from the back.

I was finding it all normal but then I saw Lily beside me making notes of something.
