Chapter 2

Stefan's POV

My eyelids parted as my wolf stirred within me. I frowned, realizing I had woken up in a strange environment.

Then, it hit me like a storm, mom had remarried yesterday. I was a bit happy about the marriage to be honest, because I'd finally have a father figure in my life after all these years.

Her new husband was rich, handsome,and controlled the most powerful wolf pack,what's there not to like.

But there was this nightmare. My step brother,it seemed like he didn't like me. Which was understandable. I heard he just lost his mother recently.

A knock on the door interrupted my thoughts. It was a maid informing me to get ready for school. I smiled, because of mum's new bond,I could attend nevermore. The school only alpha's cubs could afford.

Mother married Alpha Kael for this. So I could get a better life.

I happily took my bath and went down for breakfast. The chairs were empty, except for him— Adrian. He was seated at the head of the table having bread and tea.

As I walked down the stairs,he looked at me like he was boring into my soul and entire being. I gently sat down after mumbling good morning.

Some minutes later,mom and alpha Kael came downstairs for breakfast too.

“My darlings,” mom greeted Adrian and I with a smile.

Adrian didn't even look up,he kept eating like nothing happened.

“Good morning mom. How was your night?” I smiled warmly at her.She smiled back “Good my dear.”

Her gaze turned to Adrian. “How was your night,Adrian?”

Adrian finally looked up. “Deadly,” he smirked.

Mom slightly raised a brow before sitting down. Alpha Kael hadn't spoken a word since he arrived,it seemed he wasn't one for talks.

After breakfast, Adrian and I got into the car taking us to school. It felt weird as I wasn't used to such luxury. “Don't get too comfortable.” Adrian smiled at me, although I could tell it wasn't genuine.

The thought of going to the same school as him clawed at my throat,but I had to keep my cool. As the car drove forward,I could see the peaks of the legendary Nevermore school I'd always dreamed of attending.

“Don't get too excited.” Adrian gave a raw laugh, ruining my moment.

I just rolled my eyes and looked away. My lips parted as we drove through the large gates. The compound was more than I had imagined. It was way beyond beautiful.

Immediately we got down from the car,a swarm of ladies approached us.

I was confused at first,but they all gathered around Adrian instead.“Adrian,you look so hot.” One of them complimented Adrian.

“Want to see how quick I can make you wet?” Adrian smirked, flashing his white teeth at them.

A series of wild events and imagination flashed through my mind. “Jerk!” I mumbled before leaving.

Unfortunately,I was put in the same class as Adrian. As I stepped into the class,the air shifted and they all turned to look at me. I could hear them whisper and sneer that I got into the school illegally. I didn't care. Their opinions didn't matter.

Adrian stepped in not long after,he had his buttons undone, revealing his well built chest underneath the uniform. He was clearly thirst trapping,and everyone was falling for it.

“Adrian is so hot.”I heard the girl beside me whisper.

I watched as he took heavy steps towards my table with a smirk. As he passed by,I could smell his perfume. It was really inviting and the scent lingered in my nostrils for a while. I wondered why he was so cold to me. Always looking at me intensely with hate or with a cold smirk.

As classes went on,I couldn't help but think of the way he had been intimate with me on the party night. The way he had whispered in my ear was weird. He said I hated him,but I didn't. It was just a really awkward moment.

Immediately it was break time, everyone dashed hungrily to the cafeteria to have lunch, except Adrian. He was busy flirting with a girl at the back of the class. Who wouldn't want the hot alpha's son?

Immediately I got into the cafeteria,I felt an arm wrap around my waist and pull me close. My eyes widened as I looked at the stranger whose arms I was in. He looked at me with a smile,his eyes staring into mine deeply. He was a beauty to behold.

“You should be careful next time,that guy was about to crash into you.” He smiled.I blinked multiple times before I finally came back to my senses. “Thank you,” I said, straightening myself.

I dug my hand in my pocket, but it was empty. It seemed I'd forgotten my meal ticket in my bag.

I had to get it so I could eat lunch before the break was over.

As I walked through the hallway,I stopped to admire the paintings on the wall describing how werewolves came to existence.

As I walked closer to the class, I could hear sounds. Muffled moans. Or maybe it was someone humming, I couldn’t really tell.

My stomach rumbled again, reminding me of my original mission, so I quickened my pace.

The moment I got to the doorway, I froze.

I caught sight of Adrian’s hips snapping brutally against another lady’s. They were f****** themselves in the classroom without shame. I turned around immediately, but the pen I was holding fell to the ground, alerting them of my presence. I quickly averted my gaze.

Adrian quickly covered her with her clothes and asked her to leave.

“You really lit up the room.”Adrian's voice shot at me, leaving the bitter taste of sarcasm.“I was just coming here to sit,” my fingers trembled slightly as I spoke, mainly because I was afraid of him. Afraid of his coldness.

“Just to sit? Your expression some minutes ago looked like you wanted to replace that girl I had.” He laughed at me.

“You wish,” I muttered, sitting on a chair.

“Tread carefully,brother. You're new here. You should come to the party I'm hosting this evening.” He smirked in a way that made his offer seem like a trap.

“I think I'll just do my homework.” I tried to fake a smile so he wouldn’t notice how scared I was.

“And didn't dad strictly say no parties?” He only laughed at me.

“Homework?”

“You should come to the party if you know you really want friends this semester. Right now,it seems like no one here likes you.” I could see his fangs elongate as he walked out of the class, leaving me to my thoughts.

It seemed this was going to be my worst year.
