Sylvester’s P.O.V.I and Calvin shared a glance with each other but kept our heads hanging low in front of my parents.“Why didn’t you tell me earlier?” He asked Mrs. Wandall in a pissed voice, but the anger in his voice was enough to make me shudder a little.“Because Sheryl didn’t want to. She always said that complaining will not bring anything good to her. She is afraid that they will torment her more if she complains to you or any of their parents.” Mrs. Wandall answered calmly, but I felt a hard squeeze in my chest.“So, she lost all the trust in me, huh?” Dad muttered angrily.This wasn’t the first time that we got physical with her, but I never intended to hurt her like this.Heck, I hated myself whenever I saw her hurt and in pain.“She had already requested online classes after this semester, but this needs your approval. So, she asked me to talk to you about this after the semester.” Mrs. Wandall added in a serious voice.I slowly lifted my head up, widening my eyes in surp
Sheryl’s P.O.V. (Continued)The only good thing was that I saved my knees, but the pain in my palms, elbows, and chin was unbearable.For a few seconds, I stayed lying on the ground in the same position, on my stomach.Tears fell from my eyes because of the pain.But I know how heartless these people were.They were selfish and cruel.The source of their entertainment was others’ pain, and I wasn’t in the mood of giving them this satisfaction now.Worst, I would have to leave the pack early.I was ready for that.I slowly got up and pulled my bag on my back again.“If you can’t walk steady, you should go to a doctor and let him give you a full body check-up.” I said to her calmly.Her smug expression immediately twisted to an uglier one.“How dare you talk to me like that?” She roared and was about to raise her hand on me when I tilted my head a little.“I will advise you to be careful in your action, Shannon. I have to see Alpha and Luna almost every day,” I said to her, but it was m
Sheryl’s P.O.V.I kept my head down, trying hard to ignore their stares, burning holes in my whole body while walking towards the main building of the school.I hated being the center of attention, but the news about yesterday’s event had spread like wildfire in the pack.I didn’t know who did this and had no desire to know about that person either.“Sheryl.” I stopped in my tracks, my whole body on alert, when Raymond, the future gamma, called me from behind.My heart started beating furiously as I clutched the strap of my bag tightly.I slowly lifted my head up and saw him coming towards me.I was already at the entrance of the building, and he was already inside.“Come with me,” he asked me and tried to grab my arm, but I immediately stepped away; his hand hung empty in the air for a few seconds before he pulled it back.I didn’t like to be touched, especially by the members of his gang.“Follow me.” He instructed me grimly, but it only made me stiffen more.He spun on his heels, m
Gabriel’s P.O.V.“You must be happy now, right?” I asked Sylvester in a pissed tone while walking inside the pack house.“We have talked about this already, Gabriel,” he replied to me sternly, but it only infuriated me more.“And I instructed you not to go overboard, Sylvester. You don’t want her. Fine by me, but I want her.” I yelled at him while yanking his arm.He immediately growled at me, and I growled back, standing head-to-head with him now, challenging him to even bat his lashes.“What the hell are you two doing?” I dug my nails inside my palm to suppress my anger.Onyx was so mad that he wanted to beat the sh*t out of Sylvester, but Mom was here.We both backed off at the same time, and I looked at our mother.She stopped behind me, and I slowly moved towards her.“What’s wrong with you two, huh? Ever since you came back, Gabriel, I found you two arguing badly. What the hell is going on between you two?” She raised the question once again, her anger and disappointment clearly
Sheryl’s P.O.V. (Continued)“Grandpa, what are you doing here?” I asked him surprisingly. I specifically asked Alpha Adrian not to call my grandfather.So, his visit here surprised me.“Luna.” Grandpa greeted Luna Hailley with a respectful bow and stopped beside me.“Why are you here?” I asked him again, this time a bit anxious.“I went to school, and the guard told me you are here.” He replied to me calmly this time.“It’s good that you are here. It’s almost lunchtime. Stay for the lunch, you two,” Luna Hailley asked us with a cheerful smile.I panicked and looked at her immediately.“Th… thanks for the consideration, Luna. But I really need to go home now.” I replied to her anxiously.Her expression changed and her smile faded, and it turned into a concerned one.“What’s wrong, Sheryl?” She asked me with concern, taking my hand again.I took a deep breath and closed my eyes.How could I tell her that I am afraid of her sons and didn’t want to stay in the same room with them.“I thin
Sheryl’s P.O.V.“Are you sure that this is the tattoo you saw?” Alpha Adrian asked me after I finished the sketch of the tattoo that I had seen before the accident.I gulped down the fear and took a few deep breaths.He took my hands in his and squeezed them lightly. It was a gesture to assure me that I am safe now.This was always like this.“They can’t hurt you now, Sheryl. I admitted that we still couldn’t get any whiff of their whereabouts in the pack, which is a complete failure for me as the alpha of the pack, but I assure you that no one will come after you now.” He assured me, making me smile weakly.I was still staring at the tattoo I drew. It looked so familiar, and the throbbing pain at the back of my head was distracting me from the conversation from time to time.“It’s not the first time that hunters entered so deeply inside our pack, Alpha Adrian. You do everything that you can do to keep us safe, but with open borders, even the Goddess can’t protect everyone.” I tried t
