When it was her turn. Ava finally lifted her head and looked towards the indicated room. She took a deep breath
before. grabbing the handle of her case and wheeling it behind her.
A woman was seated behind a large desk when she let herself in. She didn’t even look up when Ava closed the
door and left the bags just inside. The woman was typing something on her computer, and Ava took the
opportunity to study her.
Because she looked a little older than most supernaturals, Ava couldn't tell what she was or if she was
supernatural at all. She didn’t have the pale skin the vampires did, so she ruled that out. She dressed elegantly,
and her greying hair was in a professional button top of her head. The nbadge on the desk said, “Mrs.
Benton, Student Welfare Coordinator
Ava stood nervously in front of the desk, unsure if she was to just sit or be polite and wait for an invitation. With
nothing in her hands now, she could only wring them together while waiting for Mrs. Benton's attention.
“Have a seat, please,” the woman said finally.
Ava gladly did as she was told. She was so tired from the trip and hiding her real emotions that sitting was
welcome.
Mrs. Benton didn’t have a smile on her face as she pushed spaperwork in front of her.
“Name” Mrs. Benton asked
“Ava Ava Morgan.”
A folder appeared in front of the older woman, making Ava almost jump out of her seat. Mrs. Benton stopped in
the middle of opening the folder and raised her brow at her in question. She tried to calm her heartbeat as she
gave an overly bright
smile
This wasn’t the first tshe had seen magic being used. Even as remote as her pack was, there had been a
witch or two that had passed through that she could remember. And since she’d had no social life, she had read
pretty much all the books she could get her hands on about the other species. But seeing something conjured
out of thin air? That was new. She realised she would see many new things here and had to get used to it, no
matter how short her stay would be.
“Sorry,” she whispered.
Mrs. Benton kept her gaze on her a moment longer, and then she continued to flip through the file.
“Phone and any other electronics, Mrs. Benton said, holding out her hand
Ave scrambled to get her switched-off phone from her handbag She hadn't realised that when they said no
phones, they actually took them. She didn’t know what to think as she placed her phone on the woman's palm.
And then, as the file had appeared, the phone just disappeared. Cone. She contained herself this time, but what
the hell?!
“Ava Morgan. Omega. Work assignment to be determined. Here's your dorm assignment, schedule and welcome
pack. In there, you'll find a map. Keys will be at the front desk in your donn. Permitted electronics on your desk.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtThere is a shopping centre not too far from here where you will be permitted to go if you get a pass,” she said as
several more folders appeared on the desk. “Follow the rules or suffer the consequences. You may go
Ava almost had whiplash from how quickly she was being dismissed.
“I'm sorry, | don’t understand,” she started. “My file says I'm an Omega?”
Mrs. Benton had already gone back to typing something on her computer.

“That's what it says,” the woman answered in a bored tone without even looking at her.

“But I'm...” Her voice trailed off when she realised how loud she was being, so she dropped it to a bare whisper.
“But I'm human. I'm sure there was a mistake-"
“There are no mistakes,” Mrs. Benton cut in. “Find your room and familiarise yourself with everything before
lessons
tomorrow.”
“Ma’am. I'm sorry, but I've never even shifted. | have nothing that would indicate I'll ever shift at all,” she
continued urgently.
Mrs. Benton stopped typing, her fingers poised over her keyboard, and her eyes glowed as she looked at her
again. Ava shrank back into her chair at the transformation from a harmless-looking woman to a crazy bitch not
afraid to kill her on the spot.
“You may go.” Mrs Benton repeated.
Ava’s heart pounded as she quickly stood from the chair and grabbed the paperwork she had been given. She
didn’t even try to hide how fast her heart was beating, keeping her eyes on the ground as she rushed past her
new schoolmates with her bag
in tow
This was not how it was supposed to happen. This was where she should have been told that a mistake had been
made and arrangements would be made for her to return has soon as possible. She had even been
prepared to accept her mind being altered a little so she could forget the past few days and live like she had not
received the invitation at all
Magic was magic, but surely mistakes could still be made?
Her heart was still pounding as she struggled with her case down the steps at the entrance and then rushed over
to the
fountain.
There, she sat on the edge and looked numbly at the water as she contemplated her future. Was she really
expected to live among them? To train with them as if they were of equal strength The boy’s words from earlier
played back in her mind. Was this a prank? Did she piss off someone that bad that they thought this was the
perfect way to pay her back? She quickly dismissed that thought. No one in her pack had that much sway that
they had any sort of relationship with the council members who decided these things.
When she looked up, she realised there were fewer people around now. She didn’t know how long she had sat
there, but she took deep breaths and trained her body to calm down.
It was okay. Mrs. Benton didn’t listen to her, but someone was bound to take this matter up with whoever ran
this place once she started her lessons.
With that conviction, she took a moment to look around properly. The old building in front of her did look like a
minefield of history, but so did the others she could see to the side of it. Maybe she could learn a little bit more
about the place before they kicked her out. And she was curious to know where the actual classrooms and
lecture halls were.
And then there was the giant water feature in the middle of the fountain, a spherical shape with water sprouting
from the top and cascading down the sides. When she looked closely, there seemed to be ssymbols on it,
and if she wasn’t mistaken, it was silver. That was odd. She’d never niet supernaturals who would purposely
have anything silver near them, considering it could kill them.
She shrugged as she finally looked down at the paperwork and pulled out her dorm information and a map.
“Wow,” she said to herself

And she had been right about how far she would have to walk daily to get to class. When she located her dorm

Just a little nap. And then she could think straight enough to figure things out.
