Sheryl’s P.O.V. (Continued)
“What?” he asked, making my anger rise more.
“I said get off, you… you pervert. How dare you pinch me?” I yelled at him while craning my neck towards him, looking at him over my shoulder.
My gaze met with a pair of electric green cold eyes, but I was so angry that I couldn’t register the coldness.
“You haven’t changed at all,” he remarked aloud, rolling his eyes at me, and I growled aloud this time.
I may be low by rank, but it doesn’t mean that outsiders also bully me.
"I should have left you there. I am a big fool to put my life in danger for you... you.. you b*stard. Now get off my bike and get lost," I continued yelling at him, jerking my head here and there from time to time.
He chuckled, making me widen my eyes in disbelief.
He was still holding me by my waist, and now it was getting on my nerves.
He slowly got off the bike and released my waist.
"Scoundrel," I cursed him again, giving him a threatening look, and drove away.
People these days don't praise goodness.
I frowned in pain, feeling tears in my eyes again.
For saving him, I put my life in danger, and what did I get in return?
I was harassed by him.
I felt sorry for his mate. Poor girl...
Although he had masked his scent, I could say that he wasn't mated yet.
Yes, my earlier assumption about him being a minor was wrong. His wolf was strong, I could feel, and he was definitely of age.
I wish that the moon goddess would keep him unmated to save an innocent life.
I flinched harder when I heard the ringing of my phone. I was now relaxed, and both anger and fear had vanished from my heart.
I stopped the bike at the side of the road, two blocks away from where I left that boy.
"Sheryl, where are you?" the person on the other side asked me as soon as I picked up the call.
"Uncle Sam, where are you calling me?" I asked him in a confused tone.
"Are you okay? Did you leave that alley?" He asked further, and it was when I realized that he is the person with whom I talked earlier.
Sam was my neighbor and also one of those families who took care of me with my grandfather.
I was so scared earlier that I couldn't recognize his voice at that time.
"Yes, Uncle Sam, and I left that boy near Wendy's. He is still injured. He got a brutal hit at the back of his head." I informed him calmly and took a deep breath in the end.
"You did a good job, girl. But you should head to the hospital. Amelia took your grandpa to the hospital," he told me further, and I trembled hard in fear.
The next second, I hopped on the bike again and started pedaling while pressing the phone between my shoulder and my ear; holding the handlebars tightly in fear.
“What happened? He… he was okay in the morning? Why didn’t he call me when he felt unwell?” I barraged the question in fear, my voice shaking in fear.
“Calm down, Sheryl. He was okay an hour ago but suddenly fainted in the supermarket while shopping for the groceries.” Uncle Sam answered me in a serious voice.
I was now both angry and scared.
My grandpa was a good warrior, but he was severely injured while fighting with rogues in the same rogue attack in which my mother died.
That day, we lost so many lives and casualties were also too many for the pack hospital, resulting in a delay in the treatment of so many injured people, including my grandfather.
So, he couldn’t recover completely from his injuries and my mother’s death also took a toll on his recovery.
“He will be okay, Sheryl. Don’t panic. You know your grandfather. He is a strong man. Ju… just stay strong and everything will be okay. Call Amelia as soon as you reach the hospital, okay? I need to finish this report first.” He instructed me hurriedly but tried to comfort me before that.
“Okay.” I mustered to say in a choked voice and he hung up. I put my phone back in my jacket pocket while pedaling the bike.
“Please, Grandpa. Be safe.” I murmured in my heart while trying not to cry.
He was my only family and my only pillar.
After my father abandoned me, my grandpa took me in and tried his best to give me the comfort of family so that I wouldn’t feel abandoned.
He made me feel wanted and loved.
“Please don’t leave me.” I murmured once again in my heart.
With a furiously beating heart against my ribcage, I continued driving towards the hospital and reached there as soon as possible.
“Relax, Sheryl. He is okay.” The guard stationed at the main entrance of the hospital stopped my bike and asked me to calm down.
I stopped the bike immediately and looked at him with tearful eyes.
“How is he, Max? Where is he?” I asked him in a choked voice, trembling a little because of fear.
He smiled faintly while the second guard dealt with others.
“He is still in ER, and he has woken up now. I am sure that the doctor will release him in an hour.” He replied to me with that very faint smile.
“O Goddess!” I exclaimed aloud in relief and almost fell to the ground as my knees went jelly immediately.
Max held my arm tightly, keeping me on my feet.
Thank goddess, my grandpa was better now.
I couldn't tell how relieved I was now.
“Why are you smelling like the other wolf, Sheryl?” Max suddenly asked me and sniffed me immediately.
His eyes suddenly went wide before I could answer him.
“You…. You were with… with an alpha?” He asked in shock, and I frowned in confusion.
I was about to answer him when those cold electric green eyes suddenly popped out at the back of my mind.
“Alpha?” I mumbled in shock while blinking hard.
I could recognize both Alpha Adrian and Sylvester.
The only alpha who remains here is Gabriel.
“O Goddess!” I exclaimed in shock this time when I realized whom I saved earlier.
I am doomed.
I went pale when I realized that how I berated him, called him ungrateful an....and...
Oh my goddess! What had I done?
I called him a pervert.
I face-palmed myself while looking at Max fearfully.
He immediately became worried while holding both my arms.
"Wh... what happened, Sheryl?" he asked me worriedly.
How could I tell him that I just signed my warrant of death by myself and handed it to the executioner by myself?
"I am doomed, Max. I... I guess... I offended Alpha Gabriel b... before coming here." I replied to him in a choked voice, still looking at him fearfully.
"You did what?" Both Max and the other guard yelled at me in shock and I felt like crying.

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
