“It’s okay.” My mom tried to calm her. “I forget things all the time.” We both laughed and waited.
Mrs. Sandlewood settled a little and chuckled along with us. “Oh. Well, some days are like that.” She laughed as she clicked a few times on her computer. “First thing. I forgot to give you this.” SHe handed me a piece of paper. This is a list of things needed for your dorm. Blankets, sheets, daily life items people take for granted.” I nodded along. “On the back is a list of things Alpha Vince thinks the Alpha’s should bring to be easily identifiable.”
I furrowed my brows. “What?” I flipped it over and read what seemed to be a checklist of superiority. “Louis Vuitton jewelry, or other name brand items. Luxury brand clothing only. Purses and other accessories should be above $10,000 in price, daily.” I looked up from the list and Mrs. Sandlewood was actually sweating. “Why?”
“What in the goddess‘ name is he trying to do? Even if a person is the Alpha, some packs can’t afford this.” My mother snatched the paper out of my hand and shook her head. “What is he trying to do?” I looked at my mother and gave a tiny shake.
We can’t say anything here. “Well. I’m just not going to follow this.” I smiled a little. “And if Vince has a problem with it, he can take it up with me.” I shook my head and went to get up again.
“ Wait .” I settled back into my seat. “ Your food card. I forgot all about it.”
My mom smacked her head. “Oh my goddess, so did L.” I locked over at her and raised an eyebrow.
“I know you mentioned it before just now, but what is the deal? Couldn’t I just buy food with my debit card?” I switched between the two laughing women. “What?”
“Baby. The university works within a specific system. The only card you can use to purchase anything here is the food card.”
“We have been using the system for years. It’s stopping kids from flashing their money around.” Mrs. Sandlewood typed on her computer. “We load the card, and you it comes with a specific daily limit that you can’t to over.”
“Why?” I was dumbfounded. What on earth was going on ? My last life Brandon stopped me from going to university, so I was completely lost hearing this.
“Years ago, there were a few alphas that went out of their way to throw their weight around. One was to torment other students, and the stood up and made a point.”
“What exactly happened?” I turned to my mother, and she snickered.
“Well, there was an alpha that was throwing his money around.” She started between her chuckles. “Specifically , when the year I started here.”
“Okay…” I shook my head in confusion.
“Well, the first alpha was from a richer pack, and he flaunted it.” Mrs. Sandlewood picked up the story as my mother lost it to her giggles. “He would try to buy things for his friends, and even bought out the textbooks for one class.”
“Screwing over the rest of the class.” My mother interrupted.
“Who was from a much richer pack?”
“And a little bit of an asshole.” My mother cackled.
“And he then bought out the entire store and gave everything away to the other students . He made sure everyone was ready for their classes with the textbooks, except for the first alpha

“It was incredible.” My mother wiped her eyes, finally done laughing.
It was something. I worked here in the office back then and was witness to the mayhem they both created. The card system was implemented within a month.”
I nodded along. “Who were the alpha’s?” I looked at Mrs. Sandlewood, but she was clearly not going to answer.
My mother rubbed my hand as she coughed. “Vince was the first alpha, and the second was your father . ”
There was a thick silence in the room until Mrs. Sandlewood cleared her throat. “Now, that story isn’t meant to be run around the school, so keep it to yourself.”
“Of course.” I automatically answered.
“So, how much would you like to add to your card?”
“How often can we load it?” My mom asked. “When it was first started, it was a onetime loading and then the kids had to budget.”
Mrs. Sandlewood nodded. “The program is the same. That’s why Alpha Vince typed up the requirements for alphas. He wanted you to be prepared before you came and had to budget.”
My mom looked at me and kind of bobbed her head back and forth. “And the remainder of the money, at the end of the semester, is it rolled over or is it emptied and then reloaded?”
“We changed that, where we used to refund it every semester. We recently moved to a roll over method . You can add to it at the beginning of each semester, but once it’s gone, it’s gone until the end of the term.”
