The next day, Catherine was up very early and she got ready for school. She walked out to see that Diana dressed for class and she couldn’t help but consider her plain pants and faded top while Diana was dressed in a corporate looking gown which reached her knees.Catherine felt intimidated at first glance but decided to ignore the feeling, she suppressed her envy and decided to channel it into learning.“If I study well, it’s just a matter of time before u start wearing good clothes, if I dedicate my time to working hard, I’m sure I’ll be able to live the life I want, I’ll change everything about myself… The first thing I’ll do is get surgery, I’ll transform into a slim chic with curves that’ll sweep men off their feet” She muttered to herself, assuring herself that one day, she’d have enough money one day.“Ready?” Diana asked and she nodded, smiling as they both headed out of the house.They got to school early so it was easy to locate their classes. Catherine had located their cla
The class ended for the day and excitement was an understatement for what I was feeling. I had learnt so much and it was just the basis.Now I could tell why the school had its name, a year in a place like this and I’d be a high professor in no time. I decided to head home after my classes and on my way home, I couldn’t shake off the fact that people were staring at me and saying mean words.I could tell that it was because of my size but I didn’t care much, I was used to being called everything imaginable.I got home and found Diana dressed and ready to head out. “Are you going somewhere?” I asked with concern and she smiled slightly.“Yes, I’m meeting with someone, lock the door, I’ve got my keys and I might not return tonight” She replied and I nodded as I headed inside.I freshened up and headed iraise, deciding to take a stroll around. Something inside of me suddenly suggested jogging and my peaceful stroll turned into me jogging around.A few people laughed as they saw me joggin
“Should we head to the restaurant, Miss Diana is waiting for you I presume” Conner muttered and he shook his head.“Head home, make sure nobody is allowed inside the house…”“Should I give her any excuse…”“No, I’m sure she’s brilliant enough to take the hint that I don’t want her” He replied coldly as Conner began driving. His gaze was fixated on the gate and deep down, he wanted to see Catherine walk out but he knew it was impossible.He sighed heavily, unable to shake off the numb feeling inside of him. For no reason, he suddenly wanted to see her and now she had rejected his offer to have a drink.“Get yourself together Jack, she’s just a school girl” He scolded his wolf as he placed a hand on his forehead. “What the heck am I doing? I’m Justin, the most eligible and handsome bachelor in the school with thousands of ladies obsequiating to my commands, she’s way out of my league and I shouldn’t be bothered with her. I’ve got models running after me, beautiful, stunning ones and I’
Catherine walked out of the class, heading to the cafeteria. Her stomach was rumbling and she could eat a lot of sandwiches.She went over to the desk, she made an order for two four sandwiches, fries, two apples and a Diet Coke. She bowed her head because the people around were staring at her with shock, the attendant had never seen a lady order so much and after getting her orders, she grabbed them, walking towards the empty table at a corner.It felt like everyone’s eyes were on her and it got her worked up. She had reduced the food a little and she knew she was going to still be hungry after eating all that but she didn’t want to get the attention of everyone in the school.She began eating slowly, her whole attention focused on the food as she ignored the people who gossiped about her.Martha, Lauren and Anita, the three musketeers of the school in another department entered the cafeteria and their eyes darted around, glowing with joy as they spotted Catherine who had just finish
Justin was waiting in his office when Conner dragged her inside. Her head was bowed and he sighed deeply.For no reason, he was furious that she stayed in the cafeteria and let herself get bullied but he tried to suppress his anger.“You can leave Conner” He muttered to Conner who nodded and left. She just stared at the ground and he could see tears dropping on the ground, she was sobbing silently which softened his heart.This was his first time caring for someone’s tears. Being a very fierce and ruthless man, he cared about himself alone but he was moved strangely and he moved close to her but she stepped back in fright.“Why? Why did you let yourself get bullied? You’re twice their size, why can’t you stand up for yourself?” He asked and she sniffed, raising her head to stare at him.Her eyes were puffy and her face red, it made his heart clench, he gritted his teeth, instinctively, he wanted to punish the perpetrators. “Stand up for myself in a school where everyone is against me
Walking out of his office, Catherine wanted to bury herself in the ground, it felt like the whole school was glancing at her and they all had something to mutter about.She knew the previous incident must have spread and more was spreading because she just walked out of his office.She had nothing left for the day so she headed home, it was the only place she felt safe in and she couldn’t tell which was worse between the school and the pack company, the two were the same because people were always against her.Arriving home, she wasn’t shocked to see Diana munching on snacks in the living room. She grunted a greeting and headed into her room. She was exhausted, hungry and she needed a lot of sleep.She entered the kitchen to get something before going to have a nap. She was fixing up a small meal when Diana walked inside, she glanced around restlessly as she put some things in order before walking out.She walked inside again, strolling around before heading out again. Catherine could
CatherineStaring at the menu he had given me yesterday,I couldn’t help but grin to myself foolishly. I can’t believe I’d be sticking to the menu. The menu was easy to follow and it felt like he was going very lightly on me because all it said was cut back on junk food, eat less sandwiches and take very little food with calories.It looked impossible to follow but I was determined to follow it diligently, I was going to make him proud…“What’s that?” Diana asked when she noticed that I was smiling and staring at the paper. “Nothing… Just a rough draft” I replied as I threw the paper in my bag immediately. I had lied about going for a walk yesterday and I didn’t want my cover to be blown.I felt guilty for lying to her but I needed to do this, for myself and Cora. “I’m off” I muttered as I walked out and she nodded without a word.Heading to school, I felt like a new person, I felt energized and refreshed. Professor Justin had just given me hope that I can be anybody I want.Througho
JustinStaring at the girls in the cafe, all I could see was how foolish they were. I was pissed beyond words and my fists were clenched in anger as I watched them.The way Catherine had dashed out with tears made me pity her a lot and I just felt like running after her to bring her into my arms just to wipe away her tears but foolish me was too weak to do that.The whole students were shocked to see me, they bowed their heads instantly in shame, trying to paint the black picture red but I had seen everything from the beginning.I walked away without a word, heading to the vice chancellor officer. I was here to tender my offer to teach twice a week but first, I’d like to discuss the bullying in the academy.These girls acted childishly and it made me wonder how they were able to make it here. Bullying should’ve stopped in college but seeing it happening among adults was very weird and it filled me with anger.I was using all my strength to keep a cool face but deep down, I wanted to g
CatherineHeading to school the next day, I was undecided about how I’d face everyone but I knew I wasn’t going to run away from them anymore, I was a small wolf and there’s nothing anybody can do about it, they better accept it or leave me the way I am.I entered the school and every eye darted to my direction, it felt like I was in an opera show with everybody’s eyes and the spotlight on me. I forced my stiff legs to move forward.“Look at her…”“She has a very tiny wolf, how come she’s a chubby human with an excess body?” “She’s evil! Everything about her is screaming evil, I’m sure it’s because she’s evil that’s why the goddess gave her a tiny wolf and big body” “Take a look at her, she’s acting all innocent and nice when she’s a bitch…”“I wish she could disappear into thin air and never return…” “She’s brave, coming back to school like nothing happened after the humiliation she faced…”Their words pierced my heart with sorrow but I couldn’t do anything other than
Alpha Jeffrey was in the pack house when Dave entered inside. “Good day, father” He muttered softly as he bowed his head and Jeffrey just glanced at him without a word.It was evident that the Alpha wasn’t pleased with him. Justin walked inside a few minutes later and he bowed slightly, grunting a greeting to the Alpha whose eyes glistened with slight delight.Dave scowled in fury but held himself from doing anything, there were still a few plasters on his body, that was enough reminder that Justin wasn’t one to be fought without proper preparation.“Justin, is it so hard for you to make time to see me? I send out invitations every week and month yet the last time I saw you was more than 6 months ago” Alpha Jeffrey scoffed.“I’m sorry, alpha… I’ve been swamped with work…” Justin lied and Jeffrey smiled softly. “Still the same lie after all these years. Do you still resent me? I’m sorry for not coming into your life earlier…”“No, I hold no grudge against you, I’ve been busy, I work at
“Where the heck have you been?” Diana asked, immediately she saw Catherine. “I went somewhere,” Catherine answered harshly. “Was it to professor Justin? Catherine, I…” “I’m an adult and capable of taking care of myself and deciding on who I’d be friends with…” Catherine cut her off harshly. “I… I was merely concerned about…” Diana was shocked and furious although it didn’t show. “Thanks for your concern but I think it’s best you focus more on yourself” She replied harshly as she entered inside, slamming the door shut. “I’m so sorry Cora…” She muttered softly, wishing Cora could forgive her. She could remember running into the forest with Cora trying very hard to stop her but she was determined. She had gone as far as shutting Cora out even though she was in her wolf form. “I’m just glad Justin saved us in time” She replied and Catherine could hear a hint of fury but she decided not to press on with her, Cora loved to have her space whenever she was angry or sad. “Do you know wh
“I… I…I’ve got a question… Can I know why you’re doing this? I wanna know why you’re helping me? Why are you doing me a favor?”He was stunned by her question. Thinking about it too, he didn’t have any form of answer, he just felt helping her was right, it pleased his soul to see her happy and he sighed heavily.“Is there something I don’t know? What are you hiding? Is there a reason why you’re helping me?” She asked again and he could remember that there was one great reason, a reason worth killing everyone just to please her but he went silent, he couldn’t say anything.“So there’s something? So there’s a reason why you’re doing this… Can you tell me is it because of Dave? Are you doing this to hurt Dave? You wish to use me as your weapon against him because you know he gets pissed when we’re together right?” She asked and he shook his head vigorously, stunned that she had thought of things the wrong way.Although he was pleased that Dave was still in love with her and he wanted her
Arriving at the gym, he pulled the door, waiting for her to come out which she did weakly. “Please… Just come with me” He pleaded, she was too drained to do anything so she just followed him.She stepped inside immediately he opened the gym, walking to the underground gym before she collapsed weakly, she was drained but also surprised, angry and moved.How he had managed to find her was a big shock to her and she wanted to know how. There were countless places to be at but he choose to be at the very place she was, the very moment she was about to commit suicide.She was bent on carrying out that plan even after leaving, no amount of motivation was enough to stop her. Her life was worse than hell so it was better to commit suicide then fo reside in hell.He left her which stunned her because she thought he’d be filled with questions. She had questions too. She wanted to know why he was being there for her, helping her at the risk of soiling his name and reputation and above all why he
“Where’s Catherine?” Justin demanded, walking into the house immediately Diana opened the door.“She went out… She didn’t say anything about where she was going but if you wait, I could call her and get her to come back” Diana muttered and he frowned heavily, running his hand through his hands, wondering where she could be.“I… can help you… I can help you find her, I can help you in many more great ways… Justin… I’m ready to help you do anything” Diana muttered softly, biting her lips sexily and he looked very disgusted.“Just drop it!” He retorted when Diana tried to get close to him. He pushed her away and walked out, staring around helplessly as he wondered where she might be.Jack was furious, it made him very worried and he tried to calm himself. He decided to channel all his strength and energy into finding her through her scent.He could scent people from afar but he didn’t know where she was and He’d have to filter out everyone's scent just to get hers. He decided to go sit
Justin I was in the office trying to have a little rest, I received information from the Alpha that he wanted to see me and I knew it had to do with how I had returned his son. Conner walked into my office, holding his phone. “What’s wrong?” “It’s Catherine… At school…” He muttered as he placed the phone before me. It was CCTV footage of the cafe. I was in great shock as I watched Martha and her minions bully Catherine. I was deeply enraged with Jack screeching out of anger. I couldn’t believe they’d stoop that low to do such to Catherine at the cafe. My grip on the phone tightened as I watched them bully her into shifting. Her small wolf cried helplessly for help even though it was silent, staring at her. I was greatly moved, I’ve never felt so compassionate for anyone in my entire life and I wished more than anything that I had been there to stop it. I wished I was there to protect her from the bullying… My jaws were clenched in anger with my fist clenched too. I wanted to pun
Catherine got home and felt like burying herself. She couldn’t believe what had happened in the school. It felt like a dream and she dreaded the next day.It felt like each day got worse and worse. She wished there was a way to stop it. It was crazy and she just wanted a normal and happy life for once. She wanted a life void of sadness and bullying with people being unnecessarily cruel to her.Throughout the day, she couldn’t eat anything, she was thinking deeply that eating just fled her. “Catherine, would you like to talk about it? Remember I’m here for you” Diana called softly, knocking on the door.“Thanks Diana” She replied perfunctorily and just continued thinking with tears streaming down her eyes.Diana suggested some snacks but she rejected them all, she didn’t come out till it was late and when it was late, she walked out, deciding to take a small stroll outside.She left without her phone, jogging her way up to the top of the huge mass of land. She decided to channel the sa
Justin was indoors, attending to some work when Dave rushed in with the guards following him. He entered the garden where Justin was, staring at him with hatred and anger.“That’s enough” He said to the guards softly and Dave walked towards him, ready to punch him and the first punch he threw, Justin let it hit him.It was a weak but strong strike and Justin just scoffed as he stood up. The guards were shocked and they rushed forward to intervene but he stopped them.“What the heck do you think you’re doing?” Justin asked calmly, he didn’t want to lose his cool because he could end up injuring Dave deeply.“I’m only returning the favor. What did you get her into this school? You’re doing this just to spite me right! I know you don’t like her but you’re only doing this because of me! I assure you that you’ll regret this! I’ll make sure you pay for this!” He barked as he threw another punch but this time, Justin dodged it swiftly.Dave was enraged, he hated the way Justin had dodged it
