The Alpha’s Exclusive Stripper by Selena Madrid
Chapter 15
“RISE and shine, Priscilla. It’s now seven in the morning. We are expected to be at Howard University by ten. I know it’s Friday and the classes will start on Monday but you need to familiarize yourself with the campus because you will be going there on your own next week. Of course, you will be provided with a driver and b*odyguard but they are not allowed inside the campus grounds.”
My eyes remained shut. I wanted to think that I was still dreaming. I was used to being tortured by the werewolves in my sleep. And this could pass as another form of torture.
Howard University? Classes? Monday?
All of those screamed torture to me. None of them seemed real until Mariz opened the windows and the sunlight hit my skin. When I opened my eyes, she was really there, standing beside the bed looking all prepped up in her cream coat dress and high heels.

She grabbed the sheets when she caught me awake. “Good morning. Please get ready. Breakfast will be served in thirty minutes.” She h*anded me an envelope. “Attached there is your schedule for today and the blood contract which the Alpha is expecting you to read and sign before we leave for Howard University this morning. If you have any questions, we can discuss it after breakfast.”
So, now I suddenly have a schedule and I just have to blindly follow whatever was written on the paper since I no longer have even the slightest control of my life?
Great. Just great.
“Please wait!” I told Mariz before she could leave. I pressed my forehead. It was still throbbing from binge-drinking last night and now, I was paying the price. Another major reason why I should avoid drinking from now on. This news plus this terrible headache was the worst combo of all. “What’s this thing about Howard University? I don’t get it. Why am I going there all of a sudden? As far as I know, that is not for humans. I can’t possibly go there.”
Howard University was the most prestigious school for supernatural beings. Only the sons and daughters of the high-ranking officials in every kingdom could go there. They only accept a limited number of students. To attend there was everyone’s dream.
Once upon a time, it used to be my dream too.
Until reality woke me up and hit me straight in the face.
I didn’t know that the Crimson Moon pack had a weird sense of humor. Their joke almost got me.
I forced a smile. ‘‘This has to be a joke, right?”
When Mariz’s expression did not change, my smile faltered. “You are going to live with the wolves, Priscilla. You need to know everything about us and our world.
They will tackle that on campus. There is no way you can live with us without knowing the basics. We’ve already taken care of your papers. You are now officially a Howard University student. Congratulations.”
Well, it didn’t sound like something worth celebrating about!
I know Mariz could see the stark fear in my eyes as I rose from the bed and replied, “I understand what you’re saying. I’m a fast learner. I can learn whatever I need to learn in this place. Besides, like I said, I’m a human so how did you pull that off? That’s crazy!”
“Let’s just say that being in the Crimson Moon pack gave you the right to be there.”
“I’m twenty-three. I’m too old for that-”
“No one is too old to learn anything. Not to mention that the students have the same age as you are. Unlike the humans, most of the students there didn’t get to study in their early years because of their mating, shifting, and awakening problems,” Mariz explained calmly. “You will also learn how to defend yourself there.
“The times have changed. Even omegas are now allowed to enter Howard University. Alpha Trevor had made that possible these past few years. He worked h*ard on it until the Order had no choice but to say yes to his demands.” She smiled at me. “You will be fine, Priscilla. It’s only two years. You can do it. The Alpha got your back. The entire pack got you.”
I highly doubt that. The fact that omegas can now attend the University was shocking. Back then, none of us were even allowed to study or to possess books.
But that didn’t make everything less difficult for me.
Mariz had made it sound so easy because she wasn’t me. She was always strong and full of amazing capabilities. She wasn’t in my shoes and she will never be unless she was reborn and she got to experience how to be trampled upon for being so weak.
I opened the envelope and glanced at the schedule including the contract. Mariz waited patiently in front of me. She could leave but she didn’t. She must have seen how my f*ingers slightly trembled.
Their alpha was so controlling that he had everything planned out. It was typical of alphas and I hated it. The schedule included my class from ten in the morning to four in the afternoon and also my responsibility as a star dancer in Oblivion from nine in the evening to twelve midnight.
I escaped from the restraints of being an omega but I was being restrained again. The only difference was that my cage was glamorous now. It was also bigger and wider but it was still a cage.
I know I signed up for this. But this was proving to be h*arder than what I expected.
Will I ever be freed from these dominant alphas? From their controlling nature?
When I remained silent after reading the papers, she added, “Do you have any more questions? Maybe we can discuss it now.”
“Is the Alpha here?”
“Yes. Alpha Trevor is currently in his office.”
“I need to talk to him. Can you please show me the way?”
“With p*leasure.”
I was restless as we stalked through Trevor’s office. It turned out that our rooms were at the top floor and only the two of us occupied it. His office was on the second floor.
Nobody taught the omegas how to read or write in the villa. That thing was reserved for other wolves. We were all just baby-making tools. We were taught how to p*leasure the royals instead.
They must have enrolled me in Howard University believing the lies written in my resume which they got from Spencer. I only learned how to read and write through Addison and Trent but that wasn’t enough.
This was a test. I could feel it.
It was like the alpha and his pack would judge me based on how I would respond to it. I clenched my h*ands.
We stopped in front of a huge mahogany door. Mariz knocked softly before announcing, “Priscilla is here and wishes to see you, Alpha.”
“Let her in.”
Mariz opened the door for me and said, “You remember where your room is, right?” I nodded. “Good. I will be on the first floor. Meet me there in thirty minutes.”
She closed the door and left me with Trevor who was sitting behind his massive glass desk. Whether he was surprised or not by seeing me here this early, I couldn’t tell. In his suit p*ants and crisp white shirt, he looked exactly like the prince that he was.
From the documents Trevor was reading, he lifted his head and looked me straight in the eye before dropping his gaze down to my dress, especially in my c*hest area.
And then it occurred to me that I was only wearing my silk nightgown. I was too furious and too stressed out that I had forgotten to change first before meeting him. I didn’t even have a bra and he was openly looking at my b*reasts.
I almost g*roaned from frustration when my n*ipples perked up and reacted with just his gaze alone. The memory of last night assaulted my mind, making my cheeks burn as heat seared between my t*highs. I could still feel his bite, his k*isses, and his caresses including his warm breath on my most s*ensitive flesh. And as if he could read my mind, hunger flashed in his blue eyes.
But then, Trevor broke the spell when he asked, “Is there a problem, Priscilla?”
“I read the contract.”
He didn’t say anything and just looked at me as if he was quietly urging me to continue.
All of the things he mentioned last night were written in the contract. It was about me following his every order without contesting any of it. But to my surprise, he included a time frame which had given me a tiny hope. The deal between us will remain legal and binding until my contract in Oblivion is over. How or why he suddenly came up with that didn’t matter anymore. But failure to do my part of the deal will affect my aunt and Trent. I should have known that they would include him as another way to threaten me.
The contract can only be sealed through blood
“I will follow everything you ask me to but I need an assurance that you will not kill me or Trent or Addison. That whatever happens, you will protect the three of us. I need you to include that in the blood contract, alpha.”
Trevor stood up and stalked towards me until he was only a step away from me. I tried to calm my wild heart from beating so h*ard. But I didn’t succeed.
He brushed my cheek with his knuckles and said, “I don’t have to alter the contract. But I can tell you a secret that could give you the assurance that you need, kitten.”
And then Trevor leaned in and whispered something in my earthat blew me away. It was not just a secret.
It was the key that could change my life and this game completely.
