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
CatherineI couldn’t stop sobbing. I didn’t create myself. It’s not my fault I’m chubby. Being chubby isn’t the end of the world, it doesn’t mean I’m less of a human or I don’t have feelings. I’ve got emotions like everyone. I’m just like everybody only with a big body but they make it seem like it’s a big problem.They make it seem like the goddess created a mistake and it hurts a lot. I can’t walk without someone saying something about me.I can’t be in a room without garnering attention to myself. What the heck is wrong with people? Why can’t they just get over the fact that I’m big and it’s not a crime.I feel like killing myself, maybe it’ll make the world a better place. Maybe if I stab myself to death then this would all end. All my life I’ve been bullied and now that I’m an adult that I think I can finally be at ease, it’s even worse.“What is my offense? Nobody has the ability to create but why do they body shame like they can create what’s better than the goddess’s creation
CatherineMy heart was beating heavily, I couldn’t look at his face because I felt embarrassed but strangely, he didn't say anything about it.“I don’t know… The mountain is huge and it’d take hours…” I muttered weakly, coming here felt like a mistake and I wished there was a way I could turn things around.“Don’t think too much, this should be a surprise but I’ll tell it to you, there’s something on top of that mountain that nobody can fathom, the goal of climbing the mountain is the great surprise, you wouldn’t regret it” He urged and I sighed.“You’re here already so why not climb and see what’s there?” Cora urged and I nodded.“Fine” I replied and he smiled as he walked ahead, leading me. I stared at the high mountain, it felt like a death sentence to climb it and I was even more worried about tripping because of my large body.“Common, I’ll tell you stories as we climb” He urged and I exhaled as I began climbing and honestly mountain climbers have got to be super
Returning home, Catherine was sweating profusely and immediately she entered, she rushed to the kitchen to get water.Diana was startled when she saw her. “Are you okay? Where have you been and what have you been? You didn’t go to the gym right?” Diana asked, slight envy in her voice and Catherine shook her head.“No… I… I took a stroll around, I haven’t really seen the whole school… so I just decided to check it out…” She lied and Diana’s eyes darkened with slight discomfort.“But I saw you entering the taxi… I was heading to the school too” Diana retorted accusingly and Catherine's eyes dropped.“I… I’m sorry, don’t mind my words… It’s just that I’m worried about you. People here aren’t what they look like. You shouldn’t trust anyone because people are very dangerous… I’m only looking out for your safety” Diana muttered softly and she nodded.“Thanks” Catherine muttered as she headed to the room.“Catherine… Don’t let anybody's words get to you alright, you’re beautiful and perfect
Going to school the next day, Catherine looked forward to all her classes but she couldn’t deny she was particularly excited about that of Justin’s, she looked forward to learning more from him.She was walking towards her class with a smile when she heard a few people whispering and pointing at her, they laughed loudly and walked past her.She wasn’t curious, she just ignored them and entered her class, they burst into laughter too, pointing at her as they spoke to themselves.She wondered if something was wrong but decided to ignore them. She looked around the class for Diana but she wasn’t around.She decided to bring out her notes and go over them. Martha, Lauren and Anita walked inside getting the attention of everything.They stopped in front of her, burst into laughter while shaking their heads before walking to their various seats. Justin walked in immediately and they began muttering words. All he did was glance back and they went silent.He started with the day's lesson and
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
