(Nikita's P.O.V.)It's the weekend.I have observed one thing after that big bullying incident at the cafeteria. They have stopped picking on me. The gossip still goes on, but the actual physical bullying has stopped since that incident.It left me wondering what happened. Maybe, they got scared when they saw blood coming out of my mouth? I don't know. I'm just happy because I didn't have to wash stained clothes in the past three days."I think Alpha Trojan helped you..." Tala said out of the blue which made me scoff.She's listening to my thoughts." Not him and I don't need him to help me! Tala, he has a woman he loves."My wolf sighed."But you didn't even try...""Okay! Stop it!"I'm never going to ask Trojan for help. I just don't think I could stand being vulnerable in front of him. I want him to see me as a strong, independent, and female werewolf. Not like the girls who are desperately throwing themselves at him.I wandered the streets hoping to find a part-time job. Although
(Nikita's P.O.V.)Two days laterIt has been two days since I started working at the bar. Although I am always in a hurry and I not only need to finish my homework, I also need to find time to add extra training, but so far, I am adjusting well.At least I don't have to worry about money anymore.Betty, the owner, required me to wear the sexy bunny-inspired uniform she apparently used for her waitresses. I was in no position to refuse anymore, so I just agreed.I'm just happy that I could finally rent an apartment in a month. I'm finally moving out of the school。I am currently in the locker area, changing my clothes because I just got here from school. I work during the evenings which is convenient for me as a student because I don't have to adjust my schedule."Nikita?"I glanced at the door when I heard Betty's voice."We have special guests tonight, and they specifically asked to be served by my female waitresses. You're going to be one of them."I blinked my eyes."S—Sure."She c
(Nikita's P.O.V.)When Alpha Trojan reappeared in my sight, the first thing I wanted to do was to get away from him, and I still couldn't get over his words of denial. What a mate means to a werewolf, I'm sure Trojan knows very well, but he still denies it, and I have reason to believe that he already intends to make Clara his mate.But why would he help me? Yes, he must be doing it for Lea's sake, who is his sister. The reason I don't want to let these bastards off so easily is that my mother told me never to be merciful in the face of my enemies, it should be an eye for an eye!Alpha Trojan asked them to apologize to Lea and me, and they obeyed. However, it was obvious that Jerry wasn't genuine in his apology. He was even smirking at me like he was telling me that he was not done with me. That's why I didn't give them a response when they were asking for my reply.There's no way I'm letting them leave without giving them a piece of my brain!"Assholes!" I loudly called.Everyone gas
(Trojan's P.O.V.)It didn't take long, and the owner soon came with our drinks."Thank you for coming to Bottle Grounds, Alpha Trojan. It's truly an honor to have you at my bar. It's been so long since the last time it became so full like this." I looked at the people inside. The number of customers has tripled. "My name is Betty..." She offered her hand to me. I politely shake it, smiling kindly at her."Thank you for your warm welcome, Betty. " I said, but deep inside I wanted to thank her for shielding Nikita earlier. I appreciate her kindness towards my belligerent mate. "And thank you for this fancy wine," I added, raising the bottle."Oh, Alpha... I don't know how to respond to your humbleness. It was your sister who helped us through that situation..." she replied, making me smile a little. I know that already."You're a kind woman, Betty. As a reward, I will give medals for your bar. I hope that it will help your business grow."She gasped and was about to decline my offer whe
(Trojan's P.O.V.)Nikita's sudden question left me speechless. I wasn't expecting her to be so direct. She was just looking straight into my eyes like she didn't really know the answer to her question. Lea was also looking at me, waiting for me to answer Nikita.What does she mean? Does she expect me to answer?"Trojan! Tell her!" My wolf ran out once more as I slackened."I'm sure Tala is looking forward to us claiming her too," Lupus added.I cleared my throat, although Lea was there, she was always on my side and I wasn't worried about her spilling the secret."My mate is ......""That's enough! I think the identity of your partner must be hard for you to say, that's why you hesitated for so long." Nikita cut me off as I was about, to tell the truth.There was anger in her eyes as if this whole thing was my fault."I don't think I have a reason to stay here anymore.""Lea, thank you, we can meet at school." She turned to Lea.I froze in place, and when I tried to pull her back, she
(Nikita's P.O.V.)Looking at the girl standing beside him, I can't help but feel the bitterness filling the inside of my body. The way she smirks at me like she's so proud to be beside Trojan... I hate to admit it but it's affecting me, especially my wolf.Surprisingly though, Tala is not reacting violently like the short-tempered wolf she is... She was just upset... and disappointed."Mom?" I heard Lea speak behind me. Luna Octavia rushed to pull her daughter away from me. She worriedly hugged Lea, crying like she just saved her from the danger which is apparently to be me. "H-Hey..." Lea seemed confused about her mother's reaction. She gazed at all the people gathered at the mouth of the cave. "What's going on?""GILL!" Doctor Hanson blurted, running towards her daughter. I moved my body slightly to let him pass through. Just like Luna Octavia, he also pulled his daughter away from me. I clenched my jaw when Luna Octavia starts to check Lea's body like I was capable of hurting her.
(Trojan's P.O.V.)The look of Nikita's place left me speechless. I could hardly hide the pain in my chest as I scan my eyes around the space. I can't bring myself to believe that my dearest mate has stayed here for half a month.The cave is dark. The only thing that lights up the place is the small flame lamp she has rested on the rock. I can only imagine how many mosquitoes have been keeping her awake at night. It's an unhabitable place. No person should have to stay in a place like this.How did she manage to live here? I feel so bad that I just want to carry her home right now!!!Alpha Leon is not being kind to my Luna. He was raising his voice at her, and I could only tell in my mind how much I want shield Nikita from him. He's trying to accuse her of something bad that she didn't do! Everyone is pointing their fingers at my mate, and I can't just stand here and watch.I just want to bring her home, so I can put an end to all of this. I could do that, right? I could suggest that N
(Nikita's P.O.V.)"A—Aww! Aw! I give up! I give up!" Lea surrendered, tapping my right arm which is currently locked in her neck. I loosened my grip, freeing her. She dropped into the dirt like a vegetable, gasping for air."Are you okay?" I asked, watching her fight for her life with a hint of amusement in my eyes.She glared at me. "What do you think, Sunshine? You tell me, ”She sarcastically replied. I chuckled softly, crouching to sit with her. We were caught in silence as we rested our exhausted bodies. It's three days before the test, and I have been training with Lea. She helped me so much, and I can proudly say that I have become better.Lea gave me the privilege of what they are learning in their classes as an Alpha. I picked it all up so easily, and in over fifty matches that I had with Lea, I only lost ten. Not bad, huh?"You know..." I lowered my head to look at the laying girl beside me. She's staring directly at the blue sky. "I really think you should start finding a mu
