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
Caleb couldn't control his temper anymore. He called Lily but she didn't answer rather she talked with Ryan.“Lily, come here.” He rasped, his breath hitching.Lily paused and met his face. He had a deep frown that ran across his face. She sighed, nervousness curling her belly. She hadn't thought of a day like this in a long time. The school had taken over all of her time. And her new friendship with Ryan took her mind off them most of the time. Caleb walked out first expecting her to follow him immediately. Indeed, she was going to but Ryan grabbed her hand. “Where are you going?” He asked “To see him,” she replied. “Do you have to go?” He asked again. “I shouldn't? I think I should. I haven't seen them in three months and they got in trouble because of me.” She nibbles at her lower lips which Ryan now noticed was a sign of nervousness. He held her hand and squeezed it. “Stop blaming yourself for something that wasn't your fault. You didn't do anything wrong, okay?” He assur
Caleb barged into then private classroom. His brother was in there. Gabriel was reading as always and Nathaniel was playing a video game. “What is wrong with you?” Nathaniel asked, noticing his aura but he did not look at him. “That bastard hugged Lily. He wrapped his hands around her waist and even whispered some words in her ears. Can you imagine?” Caleb sat with a growl. “When did he get to this school?” Gabriel dropped his book next to him. “I don't know. A lot happened since we left this school. That bastard became her friend, he pried his way into her life, and now she sees him as Father Christmas.” His eyes burned with anger. He fell on the couch grabbed the gamepads next to him and threw them onto the floor. “Don’t ruin it!” Nathaniel quickly grabbed them and then placed them beside him. It was his cue to stop playing games anyway. “Why did Dad allow them back in the pack? He didn't even wait for our opinion on it.” Gabriel clicked his tongue, disdain running across his
“If you are sorry then do one thing.” Gabriel broke the silence in the air. “What?” She asked, dropping her face. “Come back to the house and be our maid.” Caleb completed. Lily jolted her head back to them. What? Maid? Is that all they saw her as? A maid? Her heart bled with the mixture of sadness and anger. She stared at them floundering for words but she got nothing. Instead, she imagined their punishment in her head. If she was the Queen, she would order the death of the three of them. Caleb should be death by the fire squad. Gabriel should be beaten to death and Nathaniel. He just needed to be isolated, he would die in a few hours without pussy and someone to speak to. “Are you not going to answer?” Nathaniel shook my head which made me Lily raise her head to him. She gazed at the three of them before shaking her head. “I cannot come and work with you, not anymore.” She answered. “Why?” Caleb stood. He was becoming more suspicious. Lily didn't want to come back to them, tha
