About the Author

Jakcub Anthonnie Young was born in Fairfax Virginia and raised in Woodbridge Virginia. Growing up Jakcub was known to be quite the storyteller, which led him to start penning some of his stories.

Faith and family are considered to be the most important to him. In high school, Jakcub volunteered as a firefighter for two years before deciding to hang up his helmet and pick up his pen full-time. When Jakcub isn’t writing he enjoys cooking, editing videos, and hanging with friends.

Preface

The Regent Alpha series was written to challenge other stories in the supernatural subgenre and put a new spin on the genre altogether. Jacquline (Jackie) was just a normal getting ready to leave for college, whose world is turned upside down and she is thrown into a world she never dreamed to be real. Things get worse when she finds out that her mother isn’t who grew up believing her to be.

Chapter 1

I realized it was the end of a whole part of my life when I looked around me one last time – I was saying goodbye. These four walls were haunted by the memories of a person I used to be, and now they would hold those memories close until I returned. I always looked forward to college, and now that the time was here, I couldn't bring myself to embrace its newness. It felt odd. I took a deep breath, taking in the scent of my childhood one last time. There were boxes piled up by the door labeled giveaways.

My eyes lingered on it for a moment or two until I took a deep breath, trying hard not to let the emotions overcome me. There was something odd about college; I was excited and scared at the same time. The only thing I worried about most, though, was mom. Ever since I could remember, mom had always been by my side. I smiled at the thought of her, a faint sadness making its way to me.

My eyes traveled to a photo frame by my bedside that I was leaving here for her, the fairy lights perfectly accentuating the frame. I picked it up and traced the glass with my finger. Its smoothness felt cold beneath my fingers. I looked at mom, all in her element, as she held a little me bound in my second jacket. We were on a trip and surrounded by nothing but snow. I smiled at the memory. At that time, I was so annoyed at mom for hugging me so tight, but she wouldn’t let go. I was maybe ten at the time, a lanky child.

Jacqueline! I heard mom scream then honk, taking me out of my reverie.

Coming! I screamed back and stood up, immediately hit by the rush of blood to my head, making me fall back on the bed. I chuckled and closed my eyes.

Alright. 1…2…

My eyes flew open as I heard a rustle, but nothing was there. I didn't know what it was, but the hair on the back of my neck stood on end, and I turned towards the window. It was shut tight.

Jacqueline? mom's voice made me jump, and I turned to look at her standing by the door.

I've been standing here for five minutes; couldn't you hear me? She asked, confused.

It’s just the jitters.

I shook my head, and I saw her look at the frame in my hand. A sad smile tugged on her as she sauntered into the room, grabbing me for a big hug, just like in the picture.

It's an end of an entire part of my life, I said into her shoulder, my voice cracking. I could feel her hug getting tighter, and then she slowly ran her hand through my hair.

It’s the beginning of something new, she said and then pulled away, looking deep into my eyes. I could tell she wanted to say something. It was there at the tip of her tongue. Instead, she smiled sadly and kissed my forehead.

I can’t believe my little girl is all grown up, she whispered.

It was just yesterday that you were sitting on this bed, crying because Maddy didn’t invite you to her twelfth birthday party.

I smiled as the tears pooled in my eyes.

And you took me to the mall to cheer me up. I’ll miss you so much, I embraced her once again, letting that mesh of emotions release into her arms.

Hush now. I’ll miss you too, my love. You’re going to be fine, you hear me? She pulled me away and wiped my tears, smiling as she did so.

Is everything done?

Yeah, I was just about to come down, I sniffed.

Mom grabbed my backpack and headed for the door.

I'm in the car if you need me, she slowly shut it behind her. I looked around one last time, taking a deep breath to keep that scent alive. I smiled and made for the door.

Goodbye, room, I whispered, closing the door behind me for the last time.

As I headed down the stairs, I stopped as my ears perked. I could hear something… whisper. I tried to listen, but it was too low. I looked around, and the house was empty.

Get a grip, Jac. You’re losing it.

Shaking it off, I headed for the door, the whispers now subsiding into the background. As I sat in the car, mom turned to me and smiled.

Ready?

Ready, I said, buckling my seatbelt.

I looked at the house as the car began to move, and I didn't turn away from the quaint little white house standing at the end of the cul-de-sac until it grew smaller and smaller, then disappeared behind the trees. I looked ahead at the road, a wave of excitement taking over. Mom was chatting away, but I had blocked her out. It was yet another list of things I should and shouldn't do when I reached there.

…Most importantly, be careful of college boys. You hear me? I heard her and chuckled.

Yes, mom. I hear you.

I turned my attention back out the window and into my thoughts. Before I knew it, we reached the airport, and another wave of emotions hit me. It wasn't like me to be this way, but all this change felt odd. After the customary, emotional goodbye, I was off.

I boarded within half an hour of reaching, and when I sat in my seat, I could feel the waves of my past sinking away. I looked out the window as the town grew smaller, and I sighed. It was a whole new life, after all. 

Chapter 2

I stood in the midst of students walking to and fro. Their chatters were loud enough for me to hear – it was odd usually, my friends would have to shout out for me to decipher what they were saying, but now, I could clearly listen to distant conversations.

I guess one of the perks of growing up is excelled hearing.

I sat on the staircase towards the back of the university. It's where most students lounged, often surrounded by their books. In front of me was the vast land of green adorned with stalls on either side of it.

I sat on the stairs for a while, reveling in the conversations of random students around me. It had been three days since I had left home and joined college, and the days already seemed to be dwindling by. My classes were to start on Monday, but we had the orientation yesterday, and today, kids were lining up to check out the clubs. Thankfully, it was Friday, and I had the weekend to settle in. I eyed the stalls and pamphlets being distributed.  

This is going to be a nightmare.

I was somewhat of an ambivert. I always had been from the start, but it was something I had gotten used to. Now, I had a fresh start once again, and clubs were the least of my concerns. Regardless, I had to join in lifting my scores. I gathered my courage and stood up, brushing off the dust from my back.

The air was chilly, and when it blew past, I pulled my cardigan around myself, bracing myself for the evident cold that would grace us tonight, and then went on my way down the stairs. 

Learn to sing; you'll be invited to some of the hottest parties! One of the boys was yelling as I crossed his stall; a pamphlet hit my face before I knew it, and I smirked at him annoyingly before moving forward.

"Hi, you look like the knitting type. Would you like
