“How did you know I am here?” She asked because the bush was a lot farther from the school. She had walked quite a distance to locate this place. Ryan smiled. “Have you forgotten I am related to the Alphas? I have super sensitive ears, better than normal wolves.” “Oh...” Lily nodded her head. She didn't feel comfortable being carried by him but she did not have any choice. She was traumatized by the way the wolves treated her. It was one thing to be bullied by them in their human form and another in their wolf form. She kept her mouth zipped through the entire walk back to his car. He placed her in his car before going to enter the driver’s seat. “Do you know how annoying it is to see those people bully you? I want to protect you. I want to be your protector but you keep pushing me away.” He sighed, starting the car. Lily did not say a word. He sounded frustrated and that almost made her laugh. How could someone be angry for that reason? It reminded her of the triplet. Of Caleb
Harriet stared at her for some minutes and the next second, she broke down in tears. Lily moved closer to her. “Stop... Why are you crying,” She pulled out her hand to touch Harriet but stopped mid-air. She didn't know how Harriet would react to her touching her. “Please, stop sobbing.” She added. However, Harriet didn't stop. She continued to cry. “What did I say?” Lily asked frantically and eventually touched Harriet and petted her while wondering what she had said that was wrong. Harriet raised her head, tears on her cheeks and her eyes red. “I am sorry for the way I treated you. I didn't know you were going through so many things. Mom left you at such a young age. She had me and had been with us since then. You were alone, you had to go through life alone. I am sorry.” She sobbed again. Lily sighed, relieved. She thought that she had said something wrong to Harriet. She smiled and then ran her hand into Harriet’s hair. “It is fine,” she said. “You forgive me?” She asked an
Lily chuckled sadly. “Fine, search it.” She tossed it in the air toward them. It fell to the floor and one of the girls picked it up. “If you don't find anything in there, I will sue you for defamation. For accusing me wrongly, I will make sure you are punished!” Lily growled. She was exhausted. Tired of being accused wrongly every time. She was an Omega, not a criminal.The girls started to search her purse and bag. Unfortunately, they found the card in her bag. Lily’s eyes went wide as they pried it out of her bag. She didn't put that there. The next second, she chuckles. Of course, this was a setup and she fell for it. “Who is going to get sued now?” The girl named Nora folded her head over her chest and then glared at Lily. “You stole my card.” She added. “Why did you point to me? How did your friends know where to search? Why does this look like a setup?” Lily asked, a little smile on her face. This was because she wasn't surprised anymore. This wasn't the first time. This w
Ryan nodded and went out. The next few minutes, he came back with Jess. “Why am I here?” She looked around. Lily rested her back against the wall with her hands folded around her chest. “You tell us.” The principal started, standing up. “What did I do?” She asked again. “How did Nora’s card get into Lily’s bag?” He asked. Jess feigned innocence. “What do you mean?” She raises her brows. “Answer the question!” The older man growled. “I don't know what you are talking about.” She retorted. “Lying will only make it worse, Jess. This act can guarantee bigger punishment like being expelled. Just say the truth.” Ryan warned and the principal nodded once. Jess frowned. “Tell us, how did the card get into Lily’s bag?” He asked again. Everyone looked at her expecting her to give herself in. “I don't know what you are talking about, Principal. I didn't do anything.” Jess denied.“You are certain you didn't do anything?” The principal asked. Just hoping that she would give herself in
“What? Do I know you? What did I ask you to do for me? Isn't this the first time we are speaking?” Ryan asked, looking directly into her eyes. Jess’s eyes retracted. What the hell?! Ryan’s face was innocent to the point that Jess started to think that she had held the wrong person. However, she was certain that Ryan had walked up to her that day and whispered his plans into her ears. Her frown deepened realizing that Ryan was playing her. “Are you trying to mess with my head? You are the one who came to me and told me all of these plans. You didn't remember when you said we should lure Alana into the bush, far into the bush, and bully her? Have you lost your memory?” She rasped. “I don't know what you are talking about!” Ryan brushed her off but she held his hand again and grabbed him tightly. Ryan smirked miserably. “Let me go.” His words came out like a warning which Jess didn't take. “What? What will you do if I don't let you go? You better go back to the principal’s office an
Lily emptied her box, searching for clothes to wear to Ryan’s house. It was Saturday, the day she had promised to visit him in his home. On second thought, she didn't want to go but she had promised to. Eventually, she found a blue jeans and a purple sweater.Afterward, she packed her hair in a bun. At the same time, Harriet walked in. She raised her brows suspiciously. “Are you going out?” Harriet asked. “Yes, why?” Lily glanced at her while packing her bun with a scrunchie. “Where?” Harriet asked, getting closer. “Ryan. He asked me to visit him today. Since he has been helping me, visiting him seems like a way to thank him.” Lily replied. “Oh, I heard he cleared your name. But I don't think that is enough reason to go and see him. Ryan and his father had a horrible past here and now that they are back, I am not sure they have changed.” Harriet started. “Just because they had a bad past, doesn't mean they are still bad. I am certain the Alpha wouldn't have accepted them in the
Lily panicked, she kept tossing Ryan away, hoping he would leave already. Eventually, he did. Once he walked away, he grabbed her bag and looked for anything to tie her wrist with. Luckily she found a handkerchief that she quickly used to tie her wrist. By this time, she had completely healed. If Ryan had stayed two seconds more, he would have seen her wound heal. Just then, he walked back in with the first aid kit. When he saw her wrist, his eyes slightly rounded but the expression didn't stay too long on his face. “Why did you tie your wrist already?” He asked, settling beside her. Lily almost flinched. She didn't know when he came probably because she couldn't hear his footsteps. Now that she thought about it, she realized that she had never heard Ryan’s footsteps, it was always quiet. Too quiet. Almost inhuman. “The blood was getting too much,” she replied. “Okay, let me apply some hydrogen peroxide, it will stop the bleeding and you will heal in no time.” He made to grab her
“So now we test our subject.” Grey proceeded.Ryan watched with one hundred percent interest. He prayed it worked, as they have never tried it. All they heard was that the blood of the healer could also serve as poison. It was all they heard. Ryan watched anxiously as his father fed the blood into the mouth of the rat. Both their eyes almost poked out of the socket, as they waited. It had been close to forty seconds but it felt like they had been waiting for several minutes. “I don't think it is working.” Ryan sighed. “It has only been forty seconds, son.” Grey glanced at him. “I know, I know but...” “Hold on,” Grey raised his hand and then called his attention to the rat. Ryan stopped and looked at the subject on the desk. The rat started to move from side to side, making horrible sounds. His tiny eyes swelled, becoming bigger and bigger. The same thing happened to its belly and tiny legs. It swelled and its color morphed into crimson. The next second, the rat busted into red l
