Lilac's P.O.V: Who knew 'being put on a pedestal' could take on a whole new meaning when it was done in a menacing way? I thought I could finally get some rest; a few minutes of peace and quiet, some time alone to moan the loss of my parents and my entire pack. But instead, here I was, being presented to an entire pack like I was some kind of criminal…or a slave, as a man who looked double my age, held me by my forearm roughly and dragged me to the centre of the stage where the Alpha, the man who was my mate, stood tall and strong, in an expensive looking suit and his long hair tied back in a ponytail at his back. He gave me a bone-chilling look as I came to stand next to him, his instruction looking clear even though he hadn't said a word. 'Stay quiet.' His look spoke loud and clear. It was an unspoken rejection right from the start. The Alpha of this pack…my mate…he didn't want me here. In fact, he was betting on this vote for me to get thrown out
Lilac's P.O.V: 4 Years Later: My back slammed against the wall hard enough to make my bones rattle, but before I could recover from the shock of it, one of the girls grabbed onto my hair and yanked my head back so that I was looking directly into her pale green eyes. "Listen little fucker!" Serena Stonewater spat at me, her perfectly manicured razor nails digging into my scalp to cause me even more pain. "You think we're going to tolerate you and your shenanigans just because the Beta shows you pity? You're nothing but a little rat that got thrown out into the gutters by her own family." A growl threatened to escape my lips but I clenched my jaws together, refusing to give Serena or any of her slut-squad the satisfaction of seeing me rattled. "Whoa…" Another one of her squad-mates, Aisha Smith gave a surprised laugh as she pointed her manicured fingers at me. "Look at her face. If looks could kill, bitch would have turned
Lilac's P.O.V: The tension in the atmosphere was thick as people around him noticed who he was looking at and tried to distract him. It didn't take much effort though. Alpha Krimson was the only man in his mid-thirties in the pack without a mate, which meant that he was a certified hoe for any and every vagina that was available. Only, he didn't do high school girls, which was why, Serena and her slut-squad were fanning their pheromones his way as best they could. "Do the guys not own shirts?" Dani whispered under her breath, still looking away. She was a submissive wolf, a lot lower in dominance and the kind that didn't do well near high ranking wolves, especially Alphas. She was also super shy, so she preferred to keep her head down even though nudity wasn't a big deal to werewolves as the transition from our wolf form to human form left us naked. From what I could tell, the entire upper ranking wolves had just come back from their trekking up
Lilac's P.O.V "I hate this," Dani huffed, sitting next to me as she shuffled through the pages of her own assignment. "What is wrong with Serena and her slut squad!" "I dare you to call them that at their faces." I told her, stretching my arms above my head to take a break from writing the same things twice. "You know I can't," Dani gave me a puppy-eyed look. "I'll be scared to death and probably pass out before I could even approach them." "Good, you don't have to worry, I'm done." I showed her the finished assignment. "Already?" Dani's big brown eyes got even bigger as she stared at the papers and then back up at me. "Did you stay up all night for this?" "Nope." I shook my head, giving her a grin. "I had a backup plan, one that I had been using for years without her noticing." "Okay…spill." Dani folded her arms across her chest as we
Krimson's P.O.V "Luca is getting too close to that girl." I watched the two of them move out of the main pack location and head to the hills for trekking. I had never liked it, Luca's attachment to that traitorous wench despite me warning him several times not to get involved with her. The only reason Luca still had his position was because he was also an excellent businessman and he took care of my company if and when I decided to take a break. He also knew the heart of the pack well. His words held just as much power as I did and he could sway people's opinion in his direction at will. "Why? Don't you like it? The fact than an orphaned girl can get a father-figure? Are you jealous?" The old man laughed. "Luca has a mate and a son. He sees her as nothing but the daughter he couldn't have." And that's what made it worse, because he now stood in my way. "I no longer find your humor funny, David," I told the old man, t
Lilac's P.O.V I entered class exactly a minute before the teacher did. Watching Serena and her goon's panicked expression as they shuffled through their books last minute, trying to figure out what even to write…? Best. Damn. Thing. Ever. The four of them, Serena, Aisha, and the terrible twins with an even more terrible choice of names given to them by their parents…Tiffany and Brittany, looked up from all the books scattered on their tables, panic prevalent in their faces and saw me walk in. The change of emotions was instantaneous. However, it was clear that not every one of them felt the same way towards me. While the other three girls looked relieved enough to pass out, Serena scrunched up the papers in her hand, a low growl escaping her lips as I saw her claws lengthen in her fingers. I shook my head and headed straight to my seat at the back of the class, pulling the earphones out of my ears so I could listen to the sound of their teeth grinding in a
Lilac's P.O.V I woke up with a sharp pain in my forehead. It took me a while to open my eyes because no matter how hard I tried…I just couldn't seem to do it. At first they seemed as heavy as lead, but the more I tried, the easier it got, until I was able to finally part them open little by little. I woke up to a dark, unfamiliar room, not understanding where I was or how I got here. However, there was no sense of danger to this place…yet. From what I could understand, I was at the school infirmary. And from the pain in my head…it appeared to be more of light concussion than anything serious. I was lying on one of the beds next to the wall, so there wasn't much light in this side of the room anyways and the curtains were drawn to keep visitors away…or to keep other students from seeing me and getting upset over getting treatment in the same room as the outcast. I tried to remember what had happened earlier, before I fainted. It was all a bit unclear and fo
Lilac's P.O.V "Are you feeling okay?" Liam looked up from his phone to look me up and down, his green eyes narrowing in on my pale face as I tried to lower my head to hide it. "You seem a little…off." "I don't know," I gave him a shrug. "This will be my first time falling off the stairs backwards." "Right." He put his phone back inside his pocket. "About that…I reported Serena to the Principal's office. I think they can't deny it after they look at CCTV, but I thought one complaint might make a difference." "You reported her?" I frowned. "Why?" "Why…shouldn't I?" Liam gave me a weird look. "She waited for you to come out of the teacher's room for nearly ten minutes and only when you were near the stairs did she suddenly loose her balance? That too taking you down in the process while she still stood on firm ground? That's not normal behavior." I stoppe
