Veronica’s Proposal

/Selene’s POV/

My hair flew in the direction of the wind immediately I felt the cold wind slap my face, dipping my hands into my pocket, I whipped out the hidden device and tucked the earpiece in as I began the torturous journey to the doomed building, trying to push down the nagging feeling that was itching me in the chest, I enjoyed the sense of serenity that coursed through my veins as my soul connected to the music, I tried not to think of the bad feeling that was crawling up my spine because there is no day I don't get them.

Tiptoeing my way into the forest, my eye scanned any possible threat like a thorn that could cause temporary damage to my leg, my legs froze as I heard a rustling sound around me, I immediately yanked out the plugs and assumed a fighting stance, not like I could take them on but I'd be doomed if I go down without a fight., I brushed it off thinking it was just me being on edge, I was about to tuck the plugs in when I heard the same sound again, looking frantically, I almost hurled my school bag at the culprit when I saw it...........a fucking lizard.

“Should I skip school today?? I don’t feel like going in there today.” I whined, all thanks to the lizard, my mood became extremely sour, but I guess I was the only one in the conversation because I was met with a dead silence if I didn't know she was there, I would have assumed she wasn't.

I got to school and I passed through the corridors and it was as quiet as a graveyard, I knew that something was wrong because the moment I made myself noticeable to everyone all hell broke loose, chatters could be heard from every dimension of the hallway, hundreds of eyes soured as they narrowed down into sharp thin daggers making me wonder what I did or who I killed?.

“Yeah that’s her, the whoring thief?” I heard someone whisper and turned back to see anyone behind me because I couldn’t be the one who deserved such an undeserving name.

“What the hell are you all looking at??? Got something to talk about ?? Spill it and quit being the cowards that you are.” I screamed, tethering of feet could be heard as they shifted uncomfortably, you could even hear a paper drop on the floor with how silent the hallway became after my episode. 

“Oh, the audacity…….. wow you’ve gotten bolder, you don’t cower anymore in our presence… it seems we need to put you back in your place, you this petty thief.” One of the three mistletoes( Lydia, Charlotte, Bianca)spat and I looked in their direction.

“Oh, you’re the culprit?? Good to know you’re a bit coward-less, now what the fuck did I do??” I questioned while taking bold steps in her direction, at this point, everybody had gathered around us with their phone filming and I was sure as hell that I would give them proper content today, maybe I should demand royalty shares from all of them after the videos go viral.

“Lydia, Charlotte, can you see that this omega has grown iron balls, you have the effrontery to talk to us after stealing my money?” Bianca screeched and I scrunched my eyebrows while clenching my fist trying to reign my anger.

“Steal your money??? Are you insane? And how did I get access to your money?” I inquired and immediately pieced it together, of course, I had been framed.

“You want to deny it now?? Did you think I would not discover it in your locker where you hid it??” She smirked and I resisted the urge to pounce at her because I can’t guarantee her safety if I get a hold of her.

“Oh poor mistletoe, I’ve forgotten the kind of manipulative bitch you are and I will do well to remind the whole student of Jade high school, you three are worthless individuals who tramp on people to exude their self-worth.” I proclaimed and rested my hands on my hips to show that I was in control, and furious is an understatement of what the three mistletoes are right now, I could see their faces reddening and smoke escaping from the visible holes they have as a result of the anger flowing through their veins.

“I’ll show you what self-worth is, self-worth is me beating the hell out of you to prove I’m worth more than you do.” She was clouded with anger to the extent that she failed to realize that she just justified my observation.

“Beat me?? Come at me!! I’m tired of being tramped on, I don’t care if you tell the Alpha…..I’ll show you not to mess with me today, omega or not.” I snapped and the surprises on the pack member’s faces were crazy because I’m talking to one of the best female warriors in the pack.

“You think an omega like you can beat me in a fight? A top female warrior? You haven’t even gone through any training but I’ll consider this your first training because I’ll put you in the trash where you belong.” She finalized then swung her fist at me, I was too slow for her movement because the next thing that resounded in the room was a crack….. the bitch had broken my jaw.

The next thing I saw was red and I pounced on her, I wouldn’t allow any lowlife to step on me and she would be the example, I was so clouded with anger that I was just hitting her face, seeing flashbacks of all she had done to me, how she had humiliated me in the past, everything she had come back with full force and all I could hear were the screams from the pack members after I was pulled off her by a furious principal….. I could feel the steam coming out of his ears and nose but I was less concerned about that.

“I’m ashamed of y’all, instead of you separating them y’all are cheering on for the winner…..now get back to all your classrooms.” He dismissed everyone.

“Lydia and Charlotte, you both could have pulled the crazy bitch off me.” Bianca cried out and I had a satisfactory grin on my face when I looked at the work of art I performed on her face.

“We thought you had it covered, you’re one of the best female warriors of the pack…we didn’t know an omega like her could bring you down.” They answered defensively.

“The four of you should meet me in my office now.” The principal thundered and we followed him.

We got to his office and he started his speech blah blah blah talking about how disappointed he is, he asked for explanations and mistletoes started and I just tuned them out…..I was brought out of my zone when I heard my name being called.

“Selene, I’m disappointed in you, I did not know you could stoop this low… Stealing???” He drawled and I didn’t bother correcting him, knowing he would never believe me so I decided to save my saliva.

He dismissed us after giving us detentions and the mistletoes were not too happy with me but didn’t cross their boundaries, I knew they would get back to me soon and I was well prepared for whatever they wanted to bring at me. I decide to go home since I’ve given them enough show for the day, I do not want any form of piercing gaze on me right now. The journey to the pack house was so short because all I wanted to do was get to my room and sleep.

I opened the door to the pack house and I was greeted by Veronica’s annoying face making me groan, I didn’t want to deal with her right now and it seemed she noticed because she didn’t make any smart comments.

“I don’t want to ask you what happened, but just go and pack up the dishes in Alpha’s library and I’ll let you rest till the other members come back.” She proposed and I had to accept her offer, I just hoped that bastard of a mate would not see me.

“Using her as a sex slave is not enough,” Atlas complained and his voice made me halt my movement because I knew in my gut that I was the one he was referring to, and the only person who knew that we were mates was his best friend.

“But Atlas, you’ve rejected her and you’re coveting her beauty while using her as your sex slave, what more could you want?”

Luke asks him.

“Using her to breed omegas.” It took the moon goddess' power for the loud sob that racked through me not to break out.
