Chapter two

Ariana's POV

“We have math. I hope you are ready?” Diana said as we headed for a classroom.

“Maths?” I stuttered. My pupils circled in their sockets.

“That's her! She always behaves like the Queen of the school. Gosh, I hate her.”

“I know right? Acting all bossy just because her dad is the Alpha.”

Some girls whispered while staring in disgust at us, most especially Diana. I looked at her only to see her teeth grinding tight. Her fingers balled into a fist while her eyes burned in anger.

Suddenly, they started changing from normal brown color to blue and I could tell she was on the verge of bringing her wolf out.

“One more word and your heads will be sent rolling down the floor.” she snapped at the girls and immediately they scrambled off in fear due to her change of aura.

She looked so terrifying, and even I was caught in it. Was this how it was when someone had a wolf? I thought to myself. Since I was wolf-less, I was treated like a bag of trash in my house.

The day I clocked eighteen was yesterday, and it was the worst that I could ever ask for. I had been hoping to see changes in my body or hear a voice calling out to me in my head, but there was nothing.

Diana pushed the door and we got into a massive classroom that had so many desks and every student was already seated. The front roll was occupied buy females while the boys sat at the back.

It was hard to know if it was the school setting or maybe they decided to sit like that. Walking in between the rolls, daina and I sat in the middle just right next to the boys.

 

A middle-aged man was standing at the front almost starting the lecture when we hurriedly walked toward the desk and sat down.

"The class is crowded," I whispered to Diana after leaning toward her desk.

"Quiet or else we might get caught." She warned.

"Caught? By whom?" I asked, rolling my eyes.

“You don't do that in my class or else I will send you out!”  The middle-aged man who was our teacher yelled while I gulped down nothingness. 

“I am sorry,” I said and quickly bowed my head down to my desk. Others kept staring at me like some weirdo, but I wasn't concerned about that. All I did was to avoid their gazes, and luckily, I was so good at it.

Then suddenly a strong scent wafted into my nostrils. It was so strong that I might as well get blown by it. My senses were disrupted while my heart raced so fast.

Sniffing the air, once again I had to pull my head up to look around just to find where the scent was coming from. I didn't care whether the class was still going on and just wanted to find out who it was.

Turning to the back, there was a group of both boys and girls seated behind me. But then my eyes were attracted to a certain figure seated in the backseat. He had a godly aura and the way his face was perfectly built stood out from the rest.  I caught myself staring at him for a while, wanting to say something when an arm tugged me to the side.

“Pay attention or he's going to send you out.” Diana snapped at me, referring to the teacher. Her seat was so close to mine, so it was easier for her to get to me.

“Who is that?” I asked, turning towards her.

“Who?” she creased her brows.

“That person at the back. Who is he?” I asked nervously.

“There are so many guys behind you. How do you expect me to know who you are talking about?” she growled.

Sighing, I turned behind, only to catch him staring at me again. He didn't blink, nor did he even show any kind of expression on his face.

“Yes, him.” I pointed at him just to be specific and everyone's eyes fell on me. This time, even the teacher wasn't left out.

“Ariana!” he growled, filling the class with his booming voice. Shivering, I tried to talk, but the words couldn't come out.

“Your first day in school and this is how you are? I guess I should have taken your father's warning seriously.” he snapped. His chest puffed out like he would whip me soon enough.

“I…” I stammered. His words made me well up.

“Out of my class. You are in detention for the next hour," He sneered.

"Go to my office and wait there,” he added, and I was forced to stand up.

“First day at school and she has faced detention?”

“Whoa. That's not nice.”

Some other student said while I walked out from my desk. Diana gave me a consoling gaze, but I didn't even pay attention to it.

“Do you even know my office?” the teacher said again just when I was about to step out of the class, and everyone burst into laughter.

Breathing heavily, I turned back to him expecting him to give me direction, but first I caught the expression on my classmates' faces that sent a needle to my heart.

“She's lost already,” he grinned again. “Stay outside the class and wait for me,” he added, turning cold and pointing at the exit.

With a burning chest, I nodded and left.  After getting out, I stood aside from the class with my back against the wall when suddenly the teacher followed after me.

“Let's go!” a voice pulled me out of it, and I looked to the side to find our teacher. He was done with the class, but the anger he was having before was still there.

“Okay, sir…” I nodded and followed him. We walked down the office in fast strides before arriving at the office. On his signal, I got in, and he asked me to take a seat while he took the one opposite with a table in between.

“I won't take much of your time, as your face alone disgusts me. My intention here is to warn you never to disturb my class anymore or else I'll send a report to your dad,” he growled.

“We have a report saying that you are such a bad kind. If I were Alpha Lucas I wouldn't even try to accept a worthless person like you even if you are from a neighboring pack.” he continued.

I could only sit down while his painful words sank deep into my earbuds. The urge to talk back at him wasn't even there as I feared he might do just what he said.

It seems everything that happened back then in my father's pack was sent to this one.

“Now get out!” he snapped, banging his hand on the table before pointing at the door to me.

I jerked, almost as though I would jump out of my skin after the trembling sound.

“Out," he yelled again and I quickly stood up and paced towards the exit, tears streaming down my cheeks as I walked. 

I got out and closed the door quickly. My chest was beating hard like I was being chased by a monster.

“Mate?” someone suddenly called out to me, and that same scent that blew my nostril came back to do wonders.
