(No one's POV)

Carolyn conked out within twenty minutes after the lights were extinguished. Genelia also returned to the room, sweating and panting. She had a shield in one hand and a black belt of karate in another. She dropped her stuff with her bag near her bed and entered the bathroom.

Just as she disappeared into the bathroom, Pansy twisted to look over her shoulder at Carolyn. The latter was fast asleep. Her calm breaths was a testament to that.

Pansy lied on her back and quietly pu

  • Rise Above Rejection   Chapter 60

    60Rafael's POV I recalled being taken away. The Luna's slap and crazy screaming. Accusing me of defaming her. The Alpha's futile attempts to let me get away. But she didn't listen to anyone. She demanded severe punishment for me, and since I was the Alpha's bastard, she demanded a special body of Elders to do it since she was doubtful Alpha Anthony might be partial. They punished me with four days of detention in the dungeons. I knew that wasn't all because that very evening, the Luna's guard brought two leering soldiers to my cell. I dipped my head to take in the fainting bruises on my skin. They did all this painting on my body. I don't even remember the number of tools they used on me. From a baseball bat to a crowbar, iron rod to barbed metal clubs... They used all the tools on me. The first two days were brutal. I didn't cry in their presence while they were unleashing hell on me, but deep inside I was drying every second. My body pleaded for death until it became so numb th

  • Rise Above Rejection   Chapter 59

    Chapter 59Carolyn's POV I gulped a knot of anxiety down my throat as Pansy basked in the sight of my appearance. “Heard Rafael has been thrown in the dungeons after two long days of heavy torture." She said with a wince. "I also heard the Luna never gets rid of her grudge easily. So the poor guy is in for a brutal ride down to hell.""And whose fault is that?" Naomi didn't look up from her nails. "A certain heavy weighted blob, who doesn't even know how to differentiate between a friend and a foe." Pansy tutted. "If I were you," Naomi crossed one leg over the other as her eyes came to me. "I would've already packed my stuff and disappeared." "Indeed. You think after the hell Rafael's living through, he won't come to catch whoever raised this hell for him?" My stomach dropped in dread. I didn't reply though. I just got back on my feet and exited the cafeteria. On my way out, I heard people talk about the ràpe rumors. "That's probably a rumor.""But what if it's true? You know,

  • Rise Above Rejection   Chapter 58

    58Carolyn's POV “The damage is done. What I should do now is try to brace myself for the upcoming trauma... Or perhaps I can try to talk to Rafael and tell him it was all a big bad mistake on my part." My face fell as a jarring realization dawned on me. It won't change the fact that I ruined his life. My stupidity will cost him his image. Okay. Get a grip on yourself, Carolyn. You didn't do it on purpose. It was a mistake. A big mistake. Tears flashed in my eyes again. I made a mistake Oliver had warned me not to make. Oliver... I remembered him and quick enough my heart somersaulted in overwhelming emotions. I fetched my phone to message him. I know it's dumb because he said he left his phone at home before leaving, but I miss him. I'm sure he'll understand. As expected, the call went to his voicemail and I still spoke, "Hey, Oliver. How are you? I miss you badly, boy. I wish you were here. I... I kind of made a mistake. A big mistake," I laughed to ease myself. "It's got to d

  • Rise Above Rejection   Chapter 57

    57Rafael's POV "Rafael, you're scaring people. Look at yourself." Logan produced a girly mirror across my face.I immediately calmed down when I took in my reflection. My eyes were dark, including the whites. My canines were out and little veins showed on the surface of my skin. The ones around my next, the thick veins were popping wildly. I looked like a monster. I hadn't known I was looking like this while investigating them. As my eyes cast down to see the girl who fainted, I relaxed. Looking this horrible will only make them believe that the stories on the chats are true. They are, but I'm not about to accept them. The boy that was bullied was weak. I'm not. The boy who lived in the mansion was an orphan. I have myself. The boy who was kept naked and hungry had no backup, I do. Keeping all those things in mind, I succeeded in controlling my emotions. I could feel my skin becoming less hot as the tension in my neck subsided, meaning that the popping veins were going back down.

  • Rise Above Rejection   Chapter 56

    56Rafael's POVI had a very weird dream. One where I was tied to a pole in the middle of a street and I was being pelted with stones. The pain sat with me the whole time. It was like I was living it in reality.Suddenly there was a loud scream and I turned to the side. The Cooper girl was sitting on her knees. She was bawling her eyes out while two guards stood on either side, making sure she didn't move."Please, don't hurt him. It's not his fault. He didn't do anything. It was me. You can punish me but let him go. He never meant it." She begged as she insistently tried to get away from the guards and crawl over to me.That was more weird. I don't know her better. We've hardly seen each other a few times. She's also scared of me. So why was she crying for me when I was being pelted publicly?~~~"Rafael! Rafael!" Someone was shaking me by the arm. "Rafael, get up."I stirred and hugged the pillow I held in my hand while sleeping. I was tired from last night's run to the Spiral Cold

  • Rise Above Rejection   Chapter 55

    55Carolyn's POV"Pansy? Y-you with..." I gulped as I watched Pansy's smirking face twisting wickedly while she looped an arm around Naomi's. "Her.""Shocked, right? I knew you would be. Who would have thought that me— a cute, goofy, bubbly and innocent-looking girl could be friends with Naomi, the bad girl." She batted her lashes in mock-innocence. "The truth is... Naomi and I have been friends long before I ever walked up to you." My throat was concrete hard, my eyes throbbing with tears of betrayal. My body was numb. You know, the kind of numbness you feel when you suddenly go into unexpected shock. "I was away for detention when you put my BFF through that humiliating night. When I came back, she told me everything and I promised to her that I'll destroy you." My eyes wandered to Naomi's face. She was proud, happy and excited in a way a monster would be. "But you s-saved me from Zack and his f-friends?" I asked quietly. "It was my good luck that I stumbled on you that night. I
