Chapter 24 The Secret Is Out
Lana’s POV
My blood went cold.
Finished
I stared at Caleb with my mouth hanging open and my heart in my throat. Even Kade oked at me, his brows raised.
I looked around the room for a moment… huge mistake. I realized just how many of em were staring at me… waiting for me to answer. Even Professor Alden was curious, and couldn’t stop the tears from forming in my eyes, even if I wanted to.
I couldn’t believe this was happening; I had been so careful to keep my mark from ever being seen. I don’t wear my hair up, and I thought nobody had noticed it… How could I have let this happen?
How did this happen?
As if he could read my thoughts and wanted to answer my question, Caleb pulled his eyes away from mine and started to swipe across his phone screen, muttering something under his breath that I was too out of it to understand.
Once he found what he was looking for, his eyes darkened, and he turned his phone screen to me, and my heart nearly shot right out of my chest and onto the ground in front of everybody.
It was a video on my personal social media page…
In the video, I’m very much naked; I have a slight smile on my lips as I look in the mirror. I’m in the locker room, and from the way my eyes are fixed on the mirror, it almost looks like I’m looking at the camera. It even looks like I’m posing for the camera; whoever took this video was good at capturing a fantasy.
The video continued to play… showing off all my bits, and I felt sick to my stomach. And just when I thought it couldn’t get any worse… I ran my fingers through my hair, adjusting it, and then there it is… my virgin’s mark.
Proof that what Caleb was saying was the truth.
My eyes found the number of views, and my stomach rolled.
“When were you going to tell me?” Caleb asked once the video had ended. “And why the fuck would you post this on your page p>
I didn’t. I didn’t post that on my page. I wanted to scream that in the room, but I couldn’t get my mouth to form any words.

Chapter 24 The Secret Is Out
Finished
The video was posted sometime last night, which meant it’s been up for hours. It’s still up… everybody was liking it and laughing in reaction… they were commenting and sharing, and I was standing there watching it happen, unable to form any words. My body was shaking and the tears wouldn’t stop until they finally spilled over and onto my cheeks, making it hard for me to see through my tear-filled eyes.
What the hell was going on?
I thought that guy’s phone got broken… but then, as I stared at my paused image on Caleb’s phone, I realized my hair was dry. This meant that this video was taken before my shower. I remembered hearing that door shutting, and at first I thought it was that guy entering the locker room… but now I’m thinking… what if it was someone else? What if someone else was leaving the locker while that guy was entering?
What if someone else was taking a video of me while that guy was taking pictures?
My dinner from last night was fighting a way out of my body, and I knew if I didn’t get out of here right this second, I was going to release it in front of everybody. I don’t think my dignity could take any more damage.
Without any further thought, I took off.
Caleb was about to stop me, but Kade interjected. I couldn’t hear what Kade was saying, but it set Caleb off, and they started to fight.
Suddenly, the entire class was involved, and Professor Alden was trying to regain order. I didn’t stick around to find out what happened after that, though. I was already out of the door and running as fast as I could down the hallway. A sob broke out of my mouth as I burst through he main doors and outside. The cold hair hit me all at once and filled my lungs as I gasped for breath.
Though I could feel the air in my chest, I couldn’t get myself to register that it was there. The world suddenly felt like it was closing in around me, and the space I occupied outside wasn’t big enough.
My head felt like it was going to explode.
The entire school now knew I was a virgin. Everybody knew I was a virgin.
Kade knew I was a virgin.
Grace was trying to stop me from going to class this morning, and the number of times she’s tried to call me since last night suddenly made so much more sense. This is what she wanted to talk to me about… she was trying to warn me, and I wouldn’t listen to her. I was too occupied with getting to class. I should have let her warn me this morning, so I knew what I was walking into.

Finding out that way was beyond humiliating.
I was going to have to face Professor Alden as well and apologize for my hasty exit because couldn’t let my grades be affected by this
I grabbed my phone out of my pocket, relieved that I remembered it, bringing it ve before running out of the lecture hall, and I brought up Grace’s number. She answer the second ring.
“Lana?” She asked. “Are you okay p>
“Do you have class right now?” I asked her, my voice coming out hoarse.
“You saw it..” she said softly.
She didn’t need to clarify what she meant; more tears fell out of my eyes, and I had to close
my eyes
“Yes,” I said, stifling another sob
“Oh, Lana,” she breathed. “I was afraid you’d find out that way. Where are you p>
“Outside the lecture hall p>
“Give me 5 minutes. Don’t go anywhere p>
She hung up before I could confirm; true to her word, she was there within 5 minutes, and the moment she saw me, she wrapped me in an enormous hug.
“I’m so sorry,” she said softly. “You didn’t deserve that p>
“I can’t believe this is happening,” I said, pulling away from her as I wiped my wet eyes. “I was so careful. How did this even happen p>
“Clearly somebody got into your account,” she said with a frown. “Who has access to your social media p>
“Nobody,” I said without hesitation. “I barely go on it myself p>
“There has to be somebody who gained access…
I sighed.
“I just want to get out of here p>
“Want me to drive you home?” She asked, putting a hand on my shoulder.

Finished
thought about returning to the apartment and then maybe seeing Kade later. He knew that I was a virgin now… he was the famous virgin hunter. He was going to come after me. He would want to take my virginity and mate with me so he could become an even stronger Alpha
I wasn’t going to be safe there, just like I knew I wasn’t going to be safe around this school with how many Alphas are going to try to get me… although, maybe not… I mean… I was an omega after all. But even I knew that didn’t matter when it came to virgins. It was rare for shelves to keep their virginity for this long, and regardless of my rank, mating with me would l make an Alpha stronger.
“I don’t want to go home,” I told her.
She furrowed her brows.
“Why not p>
I thought abour starting
ent; I trusted Grace. She was nothing like Olivia, and she’s quickly est friend. Letting out a breath, I decided to tell her everything. How with Kade and how I hid the fact that I’m a virgin because I didn’t want to
standing flashed in her eyes by the time I was done talking.
Okay, then I won’t take you home,” she said with a nod. “The only solution is for you to stay with me for a while. Come on… I’ll take you to my apartment p>
