April's POV I was about to head to class when a car engine rev caught my attention. I looked up and turned to see Dorian's car pull up to the school parking lot.Why was he here again?My question was answered very quickly as two doors opened.I saw Paige step out of the car with him, and a lump formed in my throat. It seemed that Susan wasn't joking. Paige was actually going to be the Luna of the pack.I gripped my pen hard in pain and anger. Why was he always making a fool of me? If he didn't love me, then he should reject me and get it over with. Whenever I saw him with another lady, my heart ached in agony.The bell rang for a break, and I left the class. Today was much better than I expected. No one looked my way and tried to bother me. There were no weird stares or snickering behind my back. Probably because Paige had been absent for most of the day, and her witchy self wasn't there to spur everyone to make fun of me.I walked quietly to my locker and put my books away. No one
April's POVI looked at her, nearly dumbfounded. What did she mean that she was me three years ago?She took a sip of her water, and her eyes became sad, and her voice became soft and full of grief.“Three years ago, I was the target of Paige and her gang’s bullying. There was nothing that I didn't suffer in their hands. I was tortured, ridiculed, and beaten; I had lies spread about me and the funny thing is, I didn't even do anything to deserve any of this. I saw the way she treated you, and I realised that the only reason that she left me was because she had found a new target. You.”I looked at her in disbelief and shock. Her story moved something in my heart, and I wanted to cry. I began to reminisce on what Paige had done to me. She has destroyed my reputation, almost left me for dead in the forest after using a silver whip on me, and now, she was trying to take my mate away from me. She was meddling in my life all because my father died and left me in this cruel world.The girl
April's POVThree days passed, and Lucy and I became very good friends. But because of our identity in school, we agreed that we would never be seen together in school. We spent three days scheming and planning to devise the perfect solution to our problem with Paige. During this time, I discovered that Lucy was a crazy computer geek and could hack into almost any firewall. Her skills impressed me, and we spent days trying to put them to good use in our little revenge mission. This morning was like every other: no breakfast, lots of yelling from Susan and Dorian shooting daggers at me with his eyes. I left for school, and my phone beeped in my pocket as soon as I arrived. It was a text from Lucy.“Hey, I found something that you would like. I sent it to your email. Check it and get back to me." I stared at the text, confused. My email? I hadn’t given her my email. I hardly went to my inbox, and when I opened it, I saw an attachment for a video. I was sceptical, but I played the vi
April's POV I was panicking terribly, and the noise that everyone made about him wasn't helping either. What was he doing here? Why didn't he tell me that he was coming?I hurriedly began to check my phone for messages about this that I might have overlooked, but there was nothing.Everyone around me was swooning over him, and the boys just seemed a little jealous about his presence.“...he is so beautiful. I heard that he is so respected that the humans must pay him homage.”"... Heard that he doesn't have a mate yet. Maybe he can come here to look for her. Maybe it's me. Maybe I'm his mate.”“I never thought that I would be able to meet the Lycan Prince.”"... Keep dreaming. You are too ugly for him.”The whispering continued, and it made me sick to my stomach. The hallway soon fell silent, and the principal got up on the stage and began his announcement.“Good afternoon, students. As we all know, we are supposed to review the school's cumulative performance, but in light of recen
Dorian's POV I was in my office when someone dashed in, sweating and panting. I felt my blood boil hot. What was this insolence?! The messenger was on his knees, trembling with fear of his insolence for dashing into my office unannounced. “Forgive me, alpha. I am here with a message from the principal. Your audience is urgently needed; the Prince of the Lycan Empire is in school, and the principal needs you to be present." “What?!" “The Lycan Prince is…” "I heard you say it the first time, fool!” I barked angrily. “And because the Lycan Prince is here, does that give you any right to just barge into my office like an uncultured swine?!" "N… no, my Alpha. Forgive me.” The messenger immediately fell silent and bowed his head low to the ground. I gritted my teeth in anger. What was the Lycan Prince doing here? I snarled angrily and sent the messenger away, telling him to tell the principal that I would join them shortly. As soon as my door clicked shut, I banged my fists on
April's POV I shook in fear as I heard Conrad's voice booming throughout the hall. He was angry and furious, and I suddenly felt that playing the video was a bad idea. I should have waited until he left, and now, look what I had done.I turned and saw the principal, and he was pale with fright. The entire hall was silent, and everyone was staring at Conrad's angry face."What is all this?! I demand an explanation!""Prince Conrad," said the principal nervously. "There is no need to get worked up over this. This is probably some high school student joke. You really don't have to pay attention to any of it."Conrad looked at him in shock."Are you even listening to yourself? What do you mean by ‘high school student joke’? Can't you see that one of your students is being beaten up by a gang, and you think that this is a joke?"The principal slinked away in fear, and Conrad's words immediately silenced him. Deep down, I knew he deserved it. This could have all been avoided if he had done
Dorian's POV I approached them and glared angrily at April, Conrad and Paige.April was just like her father. Trouble followed her everywhere.I watched as Conrad's eyes followed me with anger and impatience. He looked even more pathetic as Lycan Prince up close."And who do you think you are?" he said to me with disregard in his voice.My fingers curled tightly, but I tried to keep my cool.“I don't think that there is any need to involve the Royal Empire in this matter. This is very much below your jurisdiction,” I said calmly to him, not answering his question of who I was.His lips curled up as he turned to face me. His blue eyes gleamed with anger, and his face was raised in the most arrogant manner, only befitting someone of the royal family."Last I remember, the Alpha of this pack died, and this pack doesn't have an Alpha. That is probably the reason why the principal has the audacity to call this bullying a ‘high school joke'. Is this what this pack has become? The Alpha's d
April's POV I was frozen stiff seeing Dorian and Conrad at loggerheads with each other. I glanced at Paige and saw that she was trembling in fear.This was definitely the only good thing about the entire thing. Watching Paige squirm in fear.I watched Conrad leave with his bodyguard, and Dorian's eyes followed him angrily. The principal finally stepped out of his little hiding corner and turned to all the students."You may all proceed to your classes. This meeting is over."Everyone began to rush out of the hall, and I quietly and sneakily slipped into the crowd to avoid Dorian's piercing glare. I had cleared my name, and I was happy that justice had been served, and it was all because of Lucy.Walking through the crowd, I could hear people whispering and staring at me. But I wasn't ashamed this time because they whispered about how they shouldn't have doubted me. For the first time in a long time, I could hold my head up high and walk among my classmates. I felt like a new person.
