"You’re being bullied. I’m being harassed and stalked by my past flings, so why don’t we help each other out, nerd?" "How?" "It’s easy. Be my girlfriend." "Like a fake girlfriend?" "Yeah, that. Your presence is gonna keep those bitches away and I get to keep your bullies away. Problem solved." When the school's bad boy proposes an enticing offer to the school’s nerd, it feels like the perfect plan at the moment. She becomes his fake girlfriend, resolving his chaotic sexual life, and he gets to defend her from her bullies. A fantastic plan, with zero loopholes. But what happens when the desires and sentiments set in between them? Do they make a plan out of that too, or are they trapped for life? Can they find a common ground to groom these intense feelings in a Pack where hierarchy rules, forbidding them from being together? Or would they have to let go of each other?

"Go kiss that disgusting geezer ogling at us and we’ll give you back your notebook. No kidding this time. We swear!" Giselle shrieked over the loud music, placing a hand on her chest, and her minions nodded robotically in agreement. She burped wildly, a huge sign that the booze was finally sinking in.
I was a tad away from breaking down. Dealing with bullies since I got into high school has been the most traumatic experience of my life.
Giselle and her minions go out of their way each day to make my miserable life even more miserable. Seizing my notebook in school today, right after they bashed my head against the wall, marked today as one of the worst days of my life. As usual, they left me their notes forcing me to do their homework, and in exchange, they would give back mine.
The homework was worth 60 marks and losing it would be a huge taint on my straight-A reputation, so of course, I accepted. I got home early and finished it up. My head had hurt the whole time from hitting the wall hard, but I ignored the pain, determined to get done with their homework.
Giselle had dropped her number with me so I could call her to come pick up their notes when I was done, and of course, bring mine. But that was when everything went south.
First, she made me come to such a wild nightclub as this. They made fun of my tacky clothes when I arrived, and had the clubbers join in mocking me. Then they made me drink something yellowish with a pungent smell and awful taste, and now they were making me go kiss a random guy.
More like a man, he was about my father’s age. What was he doing here anyway? Didn’t he have a family to take care of? And what, kiss him? I haven’t ever kissed a guy. I’d be damned to lose my first kiss to him. It was something I was reserving for my fated mate.
"Skylar!" Giselle snapped a finger in my face. She swerved lightly, but her minions held her hands to maintain her balance. The girl was tipsy as hell. "What are you waiting for? Get going." She gave me a slight push but that was as far as I could go,
Giselle and her minions have made me do a lot of nasty and unconventional things, contradicting my principles, morals, and uptight personality.
Like when they made me steal a test answer sheet for them, and lie to teachers countless times, and tonight, I had to sneak out of the house to be here. I have a 9. pm curfew, so asking my parents for permission to leave was worthless because they wouldn’t grant it. Where would I tell them I was going by a little after 11?
The bottom line is, I’ve done a lot of crazy ass things because of them, but kissing a man thrice my age was on a different level. I couldn’t do it.
"Get your ass over to him right now, or you’ll have to say goodbye to your notebook!" Giselle took out my book, placed it on their table, and aimed her glass of whatever on it.
"No, please!" A couple of heads turned in my direction but I couldn’t care less. "Please don’t ruin my notebook." Tears fell from my eyes.
"Then go kiss the man, Skylar. It’s that simple."
I turned in the direction of the man and he had a stripper, straddling him, and bouncing off his dick that was sticking out of his fly. I guess she was naked underneath that little skirt she was putting on with a tiny, lacy bra.
Her happy shrieks looked more maniac than normal and the man’s grunts sounded like a bull’s. And the fact that no one was paying attention to them made me realize open sex must be a norm around here. Gross!
How do I disrupt that and make him kiss me? How do I even hold down my retch and kiss such a man? God, I would do anything else but that. Groveling. Get beaten, anything else.
"Gosh, I hate this night!" Giselle shrieked, startling me. I glanced around in dread but thank goddess it wasn’t about me. She looked red with anger, but something else seemed to have gotten on her nerves.
"You said he was gonna be here, right? Well, where is he? You dumb bitch!" She threw the drink on one of her minions. Gina.
Gina quickly dropped to her knees, regardless of how soaked she was. "I’m sorry, Skylar, but I didn't lie about what I said. He comes here almost every night. I got the information from a valid source."
"Both you and your source are so fucking useless!" Giselle shrieked again, spilling another drink on Gina. The other minions gasped but they couldn’t stop her. It was impossible to control Giselle’s rage.
"I got dolled up because I thought I’d be meeting him here. Now I look so fucking stupid for believing your lying, bitchy ass!"
"Please, forgive me, Giselle." Gina repeatedly said, rubbing her hands together apologetically. She was a pathetic sight.
"Skylar!"
"I’m going!" I resumed walking, trembling at the fact that her attention was now back on me. A few drops of tears were the only way I could show my despair. I was in a sickening dilemma and there seemed to be no way out.
Getting closer to them, the stripper got off him and whispered something in his ears. He grinned and swatted her as she strutted off. Now he was alone. Big relief! Still, how do I initiate the kiss?
I said a couple of prayers as I got closer. But out of the blue, a hand grabbed me from behind, spinning me around. Met by a strange face…hold on a second! My jaw dropped as I finally recognized the face.
It wasn’t a strange face. I knew that face, but why was he holding my hand? Why was he even standing next to me? It’s never happened before.
"What took you so long, babe?"
My eyes dilated at his words which made zero sense. Still not over the shock of what was happening, he put a hand around my waist, pulled my pale body closer, and seized my lips in a kiss.
Holy fuck!
Cassie's P.O.V.The days were lovely now, as I went to school and went about my daily life, knowing that I had my friends to call upon if anything went wrong. Sage had made me his personal mission. I knew that he was in love with me, but really, what he was doing at that moment was too much. He just kept on checking up on me, picking me up from work and stuff like that. At first, I thought that Luke would say something about it or probably even fight him for that, but Luke seemed to have made his peace with the gloomy romance between us, and I couldn't be more happy. A couple of times he even took me over to his house where we had a wonderful time. How would the time I spent with the very alpha of the park not be wonderful? But then we left each other not too long after that, and I continued with my life.Although Luke had let me have some fun with him, he forbade me from ever spending the night at Sage's place, like that was going to be even possible. I stayed a couple of nights, bu
Ash's POVI wasn't exactly sure what to say, so I glanced at my friends, but from the looks in Luke's eyes, I knew that he was completely baffled by the situation. His eyes were hard, contrary to Sage, who looked soft and ready to give in at any moment."I can't believe we are even doing this," he said, his voice expressive as he stepped forward, his eyes flashing. "We shouldn't be bargaining with you; you are in no position to say anything at all.""Am I now?" he asked, his knife pressed a little more to her neck. I could tell that he was about to make a rash decision that would definitely cost him his life, but I was afraid of it costing Cassie's life also."Please," I said to Luke, putting my hand on him. I knew how much he loved his sister and didn't want her to die, so why was he actually acting like this? Luke glanced at Cassie, his eyes rigid as if trying to tell her something. His eyes were fixed on her, but he didn't see anything else, staying in his position with hardly any
Ash POVWe all stayed rooted to the spot, except maybe for Sage behind me, who had taken a subconscious step back. Maybe it was a good idea for us to back away after all—maybe back away out of the room entirely so that I could give Sage a good pep talk and make him gather himself and understand what was actually at stake here.Weakness was the one thing that would actually cost Cassie her life, nothing more. If we played this right, from the position of strength that we actually were in, then we could get her back, though it wasn't certain if we could get Richard and bring him to book along with that; that would actually be asking for too much. One small mistake and our victory had turned into a break-even, or maybe a possible loss if we didn't play our cards right and made another small mistake to add to the former one.I looked at our opponent, the one that we had nearly defeated, for a couple of seconds and finally decided to at least talk with him. If he killed Cassie, then the en
Luke's POVEverything was closing in on me, and I knew that it was too late for me to run away by now. My chance was gone. Looking at my opponent, who was now getting into the attack once more and covering all spaces for me to run into, I knew that he wouldn't let me go. He knew just what I could be thinking at this time, and he also knew that most likely I would try to run away. He was doing everything to prevent that, not wanting his prey to go.I knew that when he won this, he was going to put me along with Cassie and torment us for a very long period of time before killing us eventually. Yes, he had given me my chance to join him, not that I would ever do that, but I hadn't agreed to him, and now he was going to make me pay the price. I was pretty sure of it.I felt a certain feeling of discomfort, knowing how things were about to end, but still staying here anyway. I should be doing my best to run away and break free from his grasp, but I didn't do that for some reason. I just st
Luke's POVIt was honestly very troubling how I was still struggling with Richard after such a long time, and how someone would have thought that by now I would be done with defeating him, especially after I had come to the brink of beating him so many times now. But for some reason, he was always bouncing back and staying up above water, to the point that I was actually pressured by him at times, and even now, I was still pressured. Honestly, I was starting to wonder whether there was something wrong with me, or whether we were just evenly matched. Every time I came to the brink, ready to defeat him, there was one small mistake, or one small thing that happened to make him come back again. And then we started the sequence all over again.It dawned on me now that I would not be able to defeat him, not today, not now. I wasn't strong enough. In fact, I would even be considered lucky to not be defeated by him myself. Remembering clearly how easily he had taken me on previously, I knew
Sage's povThe first thought that came to my mind after he said that was that this was simply too good to be true. I couldn't believe it even now. However, that was a fact. But if he was actually the one keeping Sage from coming here, then he was a true hero. He was the one doing much more work than us and our soldiers who brought the army to the gate and the fight from the outside, because he is definitely the one that brings the fight from the inside, which is the real fight.I looked at Ash, wanting to see how convinced he was. And from the looks of it, he seemed completely convinced by it. When I thought about it, I didn't see any other reason why this could be happening. For one thing, I hadn't heard from Luke at all, indicating that there was a good chance that he was busy. And the fact that, at the same time, Richard was nowhere to be found, made it a little too much to be a coincidence. Most likely, the two of them couldn't be here because they were busy with each other, fight
Sage's POVI didn't really know whether I was safe when I started easily winning the entire fight. It was not much of a battle anymore. If anything, it was starting to become something of a slaughter. I didn't see any reason why I would have it so easy fighting against the man that I was up against—the man who had been rumored to be far stronger than a lot of people and would be a very formidable enemy.I had heard that he was planning some tricks for me, and I also knew that he was skewed and poisoned because that's what I heard from the assassin the time we asked him about Richard. That was enough information to be wary of him, knowing that he could actually be planning something else entirely while we were busy here. But as it happened, maybe he was just all talk after all, and there was nothing to actually be fearful of. He seemed pretty tame to me right now, not at all a threat, no matter how I looked at it.In my planning, I decided to draw back a little and let my men do some o
Ash's POV I join in and things get easy The progress was slow but steady. I knew that it wouldn't be long before we finally reached my territory. Then, I would have the opportunity to take back what was rightfully mine.I could almost see it happening already. As my soldiers marched forward, each with a certain determination in their eyes, I was sure we stood a huge chance of winning this. The moment I got to Richard, I would make sure to rip his eyes out and kill him for everything he had done, especially for killing my father. Until then, I had to make do with what I had and bide my time until everything was set.I had the patience to wait because I had been waiting for this moment all my life. So, even if it was just a couple more hours, I could wait again. It would end in my victory.Setting my eyes on the bigger prize, I kept moving, knowing it would be worth it. I was starting to get tired after marching for what seemed like forever. The soldiers, for their part, seemed much s
Sage's POVMy men started marching forward after I gave the order, each of them moving valiantly. These were pretty much all my forces because the ones I left to defend my home weren't too many anymore and wouldn't really account for much. In other words, if an attack actually started on my home while I was gone, then it would be pretty much defenseless against this attacker, and they would be able to do some large amount of damage to it.It was very precarious, but I knew that if I didn't take as many people as I could with me, then it was highly unlikely that we would win. I had no idea how many people Richard had with him, but I knew that he definitely had a lot of people with him, and that if I took only half of my army, it might not be enough, even when added to what Ash was bringing.I didn't want to take any chances on this because it was pretty much my only chance. If I was going to help, then I was going to help him completely and make sure that we won this. If we didn't win,
