I drove through the school gate, and into the Salvatore parking space. We had not come to study, but to find out the truth. Alone in my car, I’d had sometime to think about these past events. I was no longer going to let anything stop me.I could live my life without my wolf and I would be happy, I could see that now. I was not going to give in to any one anymore, I have had enough of their bullying and bullshit. If someone from this school had sent someone to come rape me, then that was the height of it.I would no longer endure it. I would not keep quiet and let them run over me. Those days were over, I was going to find this truth, settle it, get the culprit and make them pay. And then, I would proceed with my education. Dammit! I have lost enough. I loved school but even here, they had bullied me into missing school. They had used their evil plans to make me look like I had no idea what I was doing in school. I was driving into the school but I was not going to attend classes, ju
The door opened to reveal someone sleeping on the bed. I gasped when I saw who it was.“Melissa?” I walked closer to the bed, hoping I was seeing the right person. She was not talking, she was hooked to wires. The heart monitor that revealed the best of her heart was beeping steady. Her eyes were closed and she had a blackened eye, her lower lip was split as if she had been given a sharp jab there.“What happened to her?” Zach asked. He took pictures.“Now is not the time for social media, Zach.” I asked, quite angry.“This is not for social media, Katherina. I know when to be serious. This is someone’s life we’re talking about. I’m taking pictures for evidence. In case we need it.” He explained.“I have some in my phone, even before she was brought here.” Baron said.I had been wondering where she was all these while, I had even thought she had finally quit because she did not want to work for me anymore. I did not want to feel disappointed but I had. Even though she had treated me
Leaving the place, we ran out to see what was happening. Aaron had brought out the boys and was pummeling the boys. They did not have the strength to even dodge or move away from the blows.“Who sent you?!” He kicked Greg, then picked Bryan as though he was some weightless body and punched. It was the weak grunts that would make one know these two were still alive.I rushed to him. “You’ll kill them, Aaron.”“Let me. Look at that girl’s life hanging on the balance.” He raged.I sighed, taking in the boys’ faces, they looked pitiful. They whole school had gathered on the field. I went to the guards. “Why would you release the boys to him?”“I’m sorry, Your Highness. But he came with such anger that we could not refuse him.”It was not their fault anyways. If they had tried to stop him, Aaron would had dealt mercilessly with them. I walked away from them, back to where the boys were. I roamed my eyes for one person, but I was yet to see her. I searched the crowd for the second time, th
To say the place was big, was understating it. It was enormous. It could fit the whole school and have comfortable space left. It gleamed gold, white and black. It was a very perfect combination. Simple yet classy.The guards had dragged Katelyn in. Everyone had trooped in, they wanted to see how this would end. Many were looking at Katelyn in a very strange light. They could not believe she was this sort of person. But until evidence proved anything, no one could openly speak. “I asked Katelyn one question, twice. Twice she denied.” Baron stood on the podium, addressing everyone as though he was a speaker of a very important event. Maybe he was, though he looked so casual in his shirt, black denim and slip-on.He took a remote from the podium, I had not noticed there was any remote control until he picked it up. And was there a projector behind him? Yes, there was. My question was answered as soon as he pressed a button.The Image of Melissa on the hospital bed filled the screen. “
Katelyn wiped the spittle Aaron had spat on her face away with her handkerchief. She turned to me with a hateful look. “It’s all your fault!”Was she crazy? Obviously. I think she was, I definitely think she was. How was she blaming me for her wicked acts?“I wish you never came to this school!” She screamed.“What are you saying, Katelyn? Your evil deeds are on you.” I retorted.“They are not evil.” She seethed.“They are not? Bullying a classmate out of their phone and threatening to kill them if they told anyone is not evil? Framing me for stealing that same phone whereas you sent someone to plant that phone into my bag is not evil? Beating up a poor girl just because she’s fighting for the truth is not evil? Giving two boys my location to come rape me is not evil?”The crowd gasped at the last atrocious act I’d mentioned. The whispers of rape could be heard everywhere.“Katelyn, face the crowd and tell them you did not stalk my social media page just get old contacts and chat them
It was my mom, standing beside her was dad. In that moment of panic, I ran out of that place, almost pushing mom to the ground. I could not believe it. Mom had seen me, what would she think of me? Oh Mother of the Moon! I could not believe I had let my wolf take over, I could not believe I had lost control and allowed her take over. My heart pounded furiously, tears almost spilling from my eyes.I ran out of the hallway which was empty because students were all gathered in the events room. I ran out of the school building I transformed immediately, I was naked. I quickly ran into my car, I did not notice the boys had been running after me too. They entered their car and sped out of the compound after me.My hands were trembling, I could barely keep them on the steering wheel, I just hoped I did not get into an accident. I finally managed to get home, I stopped my car, switched off my engine and burst into tears. A knock on my window and it was Aaron. For some reason, I unlocked my ca
"Mom…" I stuttered.“Sit.” The firm order was enough to make me not argue about the fact that I was only tying a towel and would definitely need clothes.I occupied the sofa opposite her, trying not to shiver to death from fear. I knew those looks in her eyes, and I did not like them, not one bit. I had done wrong, keeping away this secret all these years from her. Knowing when she defended, how much she lost in the process. I wanted to beg. To plead for mercy, but I could not. I was too jumbled by nerves and regret to say anything, it was as though my mouth was locked shut. I was unable to talk.“When did you discover your wolf?” Mom was not her usual playful self as she had been that morning, she looked very angry and ready to devour. I moved a bit to be away from her. Mom could be vicious when she wanted to.I licked my dry lips nervously. “I..Uhm… since I was sixteen.”Her eyes darkened and hardened more. Disappointment flickered with anger. “You discovered your wolf at age sixte
“Answer me! Were you bullied and pushed to the ground and scratched at your back? Did you ever sprain your ankle?” She kept with the questions, her eyes blazing In fury.“Step mom, I…”“I was not talking to you Baron.” She held a hand to cut him off. “Now you Katherina, answer me.”“I…I…”“Were you accused of stealing a phone?” She probed.Beta Mark was possibly behind all these revelations, he had told them about it. I turned to dad, he too was not happy. He looked disappointed. As soon as our eyes met, he averted his. They both hated me at the moment.Dad had done nothing but love me. Ever since I stepped into his house, he had treated me like a daughter. He had bought me my first car, a very expensive phone that he he had changed the second time. Had always remembered to get me things whenever he went on travels, even when he’d realized I had no wolf, he had loved me still.He did not mince words when he called me his daughter, told me he loved me. He did not hesitate to show me ho
