Chapter 01

EVIE POV 

“Disguising yourself as a boy to go to an all boys academy is insane!” Mom yelled, looking at me like I had gone insane. “Especially when the school in question isn’t exactly known for being kind to its students.” 

“Don’t you get it Mom?” I cast a look at my Dad for help. “The school board said there’s no evidence that suggested that Ethan was bullied despite the bruises all over his body. Once I’m able to get the evidence to prove it, Ethan will finally get the justice he deserves.” 

A sound came from the doorway, pulling us away from our argument to look at my twin brother Ethan. Seeing him standing there, looking confused, wounded and hurt makes my chest hurt the most. 

Anger stirred up in my guts at what has been done to him. Ethan has always had a hard time due to his autism. Growing up together means I was always there to protect him, until we had to go our separate ways for college. 

It was a decision that was hard on both me and our parents, but Ethan was determined to fly solo. He wanted to experience life without me hovering around, which I understood even though it hurt to be separated from him. 

Despite him being an hour older than me, I was always playing the role of big sister. One could imagine my excitement when he was given a scholarship to study in Relics collage, an academy for the elites only. 

Usually only the sons of Alphas, Betas and other wealthy members of the pack could attend due to how insanely expensive the academy is. My brother, being a genius, became the first student to be awarded a scholarship into that school. 

However everything came crashing down a week ago. Ethan was being bullied, at first it was scratches—which he managed to hide from us for a few days. Then the injuries got bigger and harder to hide. 

“Ethan…come here.” Mom quickly wipes her tears, gesturing for him to come closer. 

“Don’t let Evie go…” he whispered, looking down. “They are evil… Kaden, Logan…and Jordan.” 

I winced inwardly, turning my back on him to hide the tears blurring my vision. It doesn’t matter what my parents say, I’ll make sure those bastards pay for the nightmares they’ve brought upon my family. 

“Darling, I hate this as much as you, but Evie may have a point.” 

Hearing my Dad say that, I spun around, my face lighting up at the support. “Tell Mom please, we can’t let them get away with what they did to Ethan.” 

“What is your plan then?” Mom demanded after glaring at Dad. “Because there’s no way I’m throwing another one of my children to the wolves. This is all my fault, I shouldn’t have agreed to let him go.” 

My mom hasn’t stopped blaming herself ever since the whole thing unfold. I wish I could make her understand that none of this is her fault. It is those bastards and I won’t rest until I make them pay. 

“I—” 

Dad interrupts me, shaking his head. He motioned for me to take Ethan back to his room. I did exactly that, realizing he needs the privacy to convince Mom to let me do this. 

The plan is simple: set them up, film the evidence and send copies of it to the cops, and the school board. Let’s see if either of them can argue with the evidence. 

Ethan's grip tightened on my arm as we reached his bedroom, pulling me away from my thoughts. 

“What is it?” I ask him calmly, urging him to sit down. 

He shook his head, his eyes wide and frightened. “Don’t go… they are evil.” 

“Which is why I need to go, people like them should be locked up in a cell. What they did to you Ethan… it’s cruel and I won’t let them do it to someone else.” 

“They are evil…” he repeated, clearly not paying attention to my words. “They will hurt you, Evie.” 

Moved by his concern, I forced a smile. “So because you went to a fancy school for a few months, you’ve suddenly forgotten how tough I am, huh?” 

Folding my arms across my chest, I feign anger. 

“You’re tough, but—” 

“No buts.” I place my pointed finger on his lips, using it to shut him up. 

“Evie?” 

I turned at the sound of my name, rising to my feet, I walked over to our Dad. 

“Are you able to convince Mom?” I inquired, pausing for his response. 

He nodded. “But only for a week, if you’re unable to get the evidence in a week, she has sworn to come and drag you out of there by herself. And I fully support your mother on that.” 

Filled with happiness, I threw my arms around him. “Thank you so much! I should have no problem taking Ethan’s identity.” 

Turning to my brother with a mischievous grin, I say. “See? It pays to be an identical twin.” 

He turned away from me, his eyes clouded. My heart dropped, not having his support hurts but knowing I’ll earn his forgiveness after I expose the demons who are responsible for hurting him. 

In the two days that followed, I went through a complete transformation. Cutting off my long dark hair to mirror the same haircut Ethan has. I borrowed his uniform and IDs. 

“Remember, you only have a week and if you run into any trouble, call me or your Mom immediately.” Dad reminded me, dropping me off at the gate. 

“Seriously, I will be fine.” I reassured him, leaving over to kiss him goodbye. 

I waited until the car drove out of sight before making my way into the school premises. Having been here only once when Ethan wanted to enroll, I had stared wide-eyed at the building structure and marveled at the beauty of it. 

But after knowing the horrors that goes on in there, it became a haunted castle to me. Taking a deep breath, I make my way to the Dean’s office, aware of the curious eyes I was getting. 

“Ethan Moonstone, is it?” He didn’t bother to mask his surprise, to be fair my Mom did make a scene about my brother never coming back the last time we were in his office. 

“Yes, sir.” I responded in a voice I am hoping sounds like Ethan. 

He eyed me, a line of wrinkles forming on his forehead. “It’s good to see you again, hopefully this time you won’t be causing any scene. It took the board a lot to make up for the accusations you filed against our star pupils.” 

My fingers crawled into a fists at his words. I wanted to slam them onto his face until my knuckles blistered with blood. Despite the anger stirring up inside me, I force a smile. 

“That won’t happen again sir.” 

“Good, have a wonderful semester.” He dismissed me, going back to the porno he was watching before I came in. 

No wonder every student in there is a rotten piece of shit, I mean… look at what the Dean is watching in the middle of the day. 

I had barely stepped foot in the hallway before I was shoved into a commotion by the rushing students. They gathered, forming a circle. Joining the crowd, my mouth flew open at the scene that unfolds in front of me…!
