“Liz, let’s just leave this to them. I believe they handled it well without our knowledge, they can still handle it well and dispose off those rogues.” Dad tried to reason with mom.“But we’re the parents, we should be responsible for them. What if anything happens to any of them?” She argued.Mom was a very strong, opinionated wolfess, she hardly backed down nor succumbed. In our old pack, I had appreciated it, but here, in this pack, in this room, at this very moment, it was annoying. “Liz, nothing will happen to them.”“How can you be so sure, Dave? That they are over eighteen does not stop them from being our children.” “They will always remain our children, but nothing will happen to them, honey. Remain calm and let us trust them.”“But how are you so sure they will be fine?” She kept asking.“Were we there to parent over them when the boys snuck in? Were we there to help them fight these boys, succumb them and help them tie up these hoodlums in that room? Without us they were
“No mom, I’m not saying that.” I disagreed.“So what are you saying? Because your statement just sounded like you and Aaron had issues and Baron came into the picture, you moved on.” She was done with the counter, and had now moved to the dishes.How mom was able to do all these things while still being a mom, a wife and the Luna of a huge pack was shocking. I did not think I could ever achieve this feat. She was a superhero. And here she was, helping me to figure out my life. With all these duties, how did she even notice what was going on with me and the boys?“That’s not how it is mom.” “Then how is it?” Her back was still to me. She looked perfect in her denim shorts and an oversized shirt that if my guess was right, belonged to dad. I took my slim, petite frame from her.I threw my hands up in the air in confusion. “I don’t know.” I sighed. “I like Baron.” I blurted.She turned to give me a knowing look. “I can see that.”“I really like him.” I uttered, I had known for a while n
I walked back into my room. The boys were not there, but they said they would be here. I frowned a little, that was disappointing. I would go see them as soon as I had freshened up. I went to the bathroom, I had washed my mouth. I just had to use my mouthwash to rinse any food that might have gotten stuck in between my teeth. Then I would take my bath.I took my time to wash my body, scrubbed my hair clean. Sometime later, I was done. I stepped out of the bathroom with my towel firmly wrapped around me. After toweling myself dry, I went to my closet to pick a simple black ripped baggy shorts and an ash shirt that had the designer logo on it. Dad had bought it for me during one of his last travels.I was blow-drying my hair in the bathroom and applying my hair products when I heard my door open. I picked my bracelet and wore.“It’s about time.” It was them. The Salvatore boys and as though we had planned it, they were wearing black denim shorts as well but only mine, Trenton’s and Aaro
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
